- Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver sit down with the "Prince of Poachers" Charles Beaty. Charles is one of the nation's most notorious poachers, illegally harvesting world class whitetail deer from the Kenedy and King Ranch in South Texas.
I've been to a lot of deer camps all over Southeast Ohio for the last 40 years and I've heard a lot of people tell stories very captivating. But nobody can tell stories like this man whether you love him or hate him he is an absolute Legend.
Naw anyone who values the resources doesn't allow the animal to waste and only takes what they need. .. how come he didn't go to Vietnam Nam like a real American? Bet this scum avoided that too
That's exactly what listening to his stories reminds me of...sitting around the fire with 5 hanging on opening day drinking some cold ones listening to all the stories from past years we've all heard a 100 times. But nothing beats it. 1 opening day here in Missouri missed in my 26 years of hunting.
As 50 years hunter I love him. Every one has there own things they have done......the only thing I wish I he would have got the meat other than that he 👌 in my book love to hear about all his stories there the greatest. Back I the day things were alot different. If you had little money. You got a 🦌 better than shooting someone's cow God bless him and his family
Man I’ve laughed and damn near cried listening to this mans passion. He’s not a poacher, he’s a REAL HUNTER
He reminds me of the people I grew up around. They all his zeal for the outdoors.
Right!
He is definitely a skilled hunter but he is absolutely a poacher/ trespasser. He killed quite a few of these deer at night with a light shined in their eyes and most of them he just cut their heads off and left the rest to rot. That’s not a hunter. That being said I enjoyed his stories.
He's a poacher....but I understand how it works in Texas with mostly inaccessible unhuntable land unless u can shell out the cash. Just a shame how it is down their I don't know how anyone without land or connection gets into hunting.
@@ArkansasDeerChaser so when you shoot a coyote you eat it.
His stories are mesmerizing hell of a story teller
If this guy had google maps there wouldn't be any deer left.
this guy was google maps
You couldn't kill all the deer out whybyavthink south Texas still has alot of dark racks still that shit started there
He didn't slaughter deer he was actually ahead of his time in management he wasn't the problem you hear about poachers back in this time where they shot everything
@jonfletcher7114 . I like charles. Hell of a story teller. I don't like he killed deer just for antlers. Maybe ate the heart and left the rest.
He memorized maps
So glad I found this, I’ve literally listened to the hunters advantage podcast of Charles literally 8-9 times maybe more…. I do not condone poaching but his story is truly amazing!!
Fr
I don’t condemn poachers like Charlie, either.
Poaching isn't a real thing, it's a made up man made rule. Was it poaching when The Pilgrims, Indians, people that traveled West shot animals? Let's cut the shit, they only wanted to catch him cause they didn't get they money from fees, tags etc.
Love hearing these stories, reminds me of some of the old outlaw Florida hunters I grew up hearing about. Just the descriptions of the terrain puts you right there with him. Imagine the vastness of that property and some of the bucks that were never even seen. “It’s a wonderland, there’s nothin like it.”
Legal or not, you feel the man’s passion for what he was doing.
He reminds me of my buddy’s dad that would tell us stories for hours. He was running in the same era as Charley. North Florida plantations 🎉
We love you Charles Beaty.
Awesome podcast guys!!! I love Charles stories! I gota say definitely keeps ya glued to your phone, or computer!! Charles is probably one of the best storytellers I’ve ever herd!! My sides were hurting from laughing so hard we he was telling about the 8 foot bullsnake!!
Can’t wait for part 2
I can relate to every story he tells. He is right ,the adventure is intoxicating.
Pure GOLD
What a legend
God Bless Charlie !
Definitely look up to this man. he's a legend I have many story's just like this with me an my dad
This was a hell of a good show.amazing on his stories.
Thank you!
I knew a man out in Missouri he would set up camp in a certain spot and park his truck at that spot. He had somebody come and get him and go to another place and hunt while the game wardens would watch his camp waiting on him
Part one I read cover to cover couldn’t put it down, Charlie is a character witn some Awesome stories. We hunt legal but I can’t see anyone hating the stories or the man. Thanks for getting the word out on the podcast.
O1
Y’all have no idea. This is heaven on earth, South Texas!
“If I hadaholda that mouse I’d show ya what time it isss.” God I love that guy 😂
This guys reminds me of my uncle. Who every time I see I’m shocked he still out here doing it. Difference is he eats every kill. He fills his freezer then waits till he needs to refill his freezer.
Big bucks and wild run ins
I ain't even gonna lie... my pops and uncle are the ultimate poachers lol road hunting fools mane 😂
There's one reason the deer get that big, location. It's as vast as Canada, warm, and minerals. No winter kill off, plenty to eat, and no pressure.
Genetics
Man I just want to go on a hunt with this guy!
Mountain oysters!!! these two yuppies are def food plot hunters who can see there truck from the stand
The one skinny boy seems kind of spoiled like that 🤣
This guy is my idol
Haha. Looser!
Yeah it would be much better if he idolized a rapper. With the disgusting acts that happen in America on a daily basis. At this point charley is more honorable than any one in the American government. I would much rather my children idolize him that the president.
A real hunter no less he reminds me of my grand paw
Get the prince on here for another video I have watched this too many times 👍
as soon as he gets book 2 done we will have him on
I have hunted in that area for years and got my share of big bucks, there are some giants on the beach side also.
anyone online can say this lmao
Always wanted to go to King Ranch. My cousin is friends with Jones' yes the owners of the Cowboys and got to go hunt it just after Hank Williams Jr left.
Game wardens most certainly don’t have a dangerous job statistically in the US. Very small number have ever been killed.
And the one’s that have are the guys helping the sheriff do a meth bust, probably.
I've always questioned where all the racks from these stories go to. would like to see some pictures to go along with the stories.
It would have been nice to have the poachers microphone turned up louder
All that because a guys deer hunting! How bout go after real criminals!
Or make more land available to the public.
While I enjoy the hunters advantage podcast with Charlie’s better, thank you for providing this interview with Charlie.
My grandma got poison ivy from burning it in a brush fire. Inhalation. It hospitalized her.
Is the part 2 book out yet?
we here in tn call hog balls mountain oysters.bull balls are called calf fries
I accept your challenge, there can only be 1 beaty
Link to the first episode please
Did anyone watch the video when Pat lane said you don’t tell another man what to do This is talking to all who is complaining about the F word I am sure they are going to take your complaints into consideration and keep on doing what they do. Great stories keep it up
I know of two retired game wardens who were poachers... 20 years ago.
I would love to meet his friend George that taught him all this Land!!!
Unfortunately he is dead
Yes sir There are big deer in the state of Florida.....,...,.
Charlie's sound needs to be as loud as the two loudmouths !
I as well consider myself a professional poacher.
Jeff any time frame on when the second book or podcast will come out thanks
I haven't heard any updates
What kind of sauces are on the table?
We All understand all the wrong doing that was poached upon. The heart and desire he had for what he did was nothing short of Amazing. 99% of the hunters and non hunters commenting couldnt hang with Beaty in the woods. He litterally ate, sleep, and brethe with these bucks. Staying as much as 27days in the brush country is 1 hard ass individual!!! We as hunter sit on all day hunt during rut in our stands and call that hunting. Just remember Beaty would still be on foot fully loaded packs and guns walking 20 plus miles to setup camp. I dont care what side the fence you're on or hows hes viewed good bad or in different. His stories are hard to imagine just the survival aspect, let alone outrunning the law foot, hoof and air. Thats 1 badass in my book. Dont agree with what he did but my gosh i love the story line.
I’m glad to see people successful in life but wen big money owns the town or moves in to ur area it sure does make it rough on the ones that was born and raised there in that area it nearly impossible to buy land or expand big money always makes it rough on the average people
That aint no fucking ocean . Its a fucking gulf lol
All those points next to water and the brush and draws in the trees...
Guy with computer: “I can’t believe your hunting big bucks right next to the ocean!”
😬
I wonder if he hunts as well as he can pull up good pics for the “listeners”, lol
He's a way worse hunter!
Literally a 400k acre ranch lol I don't think you understand how gigantic it is
I am assuming there is no mapping detail for good reason but dang it would have been nice! Great podcast guys! Is there going to be a part 2?
A podcast I just watched said he was hoping to have it out November 2021 and another said Christmas 2021, but I haven’t been able to find it yet.
Fuck yea beat the the bone!
That one fella is wanting exzact coordnances lol.hmmm.hes thinkin.😊
I did stuff like this when I was a kid and didn't even realize I was doing anything wrong. I had no one to teach me, I just went out and hunted and didn't care were I was.
Definitely King
My uncle burnt poison ivy one tome and by that night we had to rush him to the hospital bc it got in his lungs, mouth and all
I take all his stories with a grain of salt if all the deer are a 170 plus deer now that their hunt in these ranches legally the record books should be full of these deer most of the records come from Kansas Ohio Wisconsin and other northern states so some of his stories are just that stories
He is definitely a skilled hunter but he is absolutely a poacher/ trespasser. He killed quite a few of these deer at night with a light shined in their eyes and most of them he just cut their heads off and left the rest to rot. That’s not a hunter. That being said I enjoyed his stories
If you woulda lived there in that time and had to deal with most of the land being private for rich paying members only, its wrong NOT to go hunt it. If you say any way else then you have grown up privileged in the hunting world.
Is that pat in the back
Come over to East TN, you will find your share of poison oak and poison ivy.
Good Lord, you didn't have a laser sight or pointer to hand him to point at the maps?
No joke. That one dude was interrogating him like he’s the law.
Its hard to belive they could even find a guy on 500000 acres
Yea this is a good hunter that truly loves deer and wildlife . And he just did it all the wrong ways. Should have just went to public land or got permission. And a 140 on public is a bigger accomplishment than sneaking onto a ranch and killing a 170 High fence deer.
Most all that country is low fence, especially in the days this guy was doing this, these are not the current day mid south Texas corporate high fence day hunter 500-1,000 acre ranch that you watch on the outdoor channel.
@@ryanwaddell9988 yea I get that. Basically hunting giant chunks of private land. So big you mise we’ll say there’s not even a fence. Just great land packed with deer. I read his book. It’s the only book I’ve ever read. And I don’t watch the outdoor channel. I’ve been done with that. I live in pa so I can’t relate to any of that. I’m more hunting public. I support the hunting public fully I think there the best channel out.
What's the name of the book??
Prince of Poachers
Do you have any idea how many men did the same thing. He was just danm good.
The old interviewer just doesnt get tired of the taste of his foot does he
He is a HUNTER not a poacher
Nah he's a poacher most all deer he killed he cut the head off and left the meat to rot he killed deer outta season and at night.. dont glorify a dirtbag like Charles Beaty
@@terpdawg in my state we have no want and waste law. You have to tag your harvest but you are not required to take the carcass at all. Personally I enjoy venison and all the wild game I harvest. But the meat of deer left in the woods does not go to waste. Ask the predator hunters how many of their animals they eat. Not to many coyotes being consumed. A poacher to me hunts for financial gain. The market hunters our forefathers were the poachers. Bet you have never broken a game law at all.
He should've been writing songs for sale. Probably would've made more money for songwriting instead of a book.
Volume is waaay off. Cannot hear Charles at all hardly. Then the others scream if you turn it up. Lol
Strange how many sensitive men are commenting about the cursing... Who gives a shit?
Smart people?
I would have loved to run with you Charles
Wild hog balls are called Mountain oyster is where I’m from west by god Virginia
Never eat mountain oysters?
In the real world of effort who's the poacher..fat ass who rides his 4 wheeler to blind with feeder set to go off at first light.. sometimes hard work is for the money you spend to kill something... sometimes hard work comes in different form.. Without getting into to it to much my family worked on King ranch over 100 years.. still have current family there. Once you fall in love with the land in South Texas it's like a woman you never forget...I hunt Sam Public in Texas. And appreciate this
look at his eyes when they say ''173,000 acres''
what he is not telling is about all the big rattlesnakes in that country.
I'd believe it!
I wondered about that myself would have ask that question
I’m puzzled why the property owners didn’t use dogs to find him.
Releasing dogs on a guy commiting a misdemeanor (now its a felony) is a little over kill. Also there is a story in his buddies book about a guy getting treed, then slitting 3 dogs throats, i forget if it was on the king ranch or the kennedy.
He might be a successful hunter, good poacher, good story teller, or have an interesting book - but he's no damn prince. Anyone that kills deer just for the heads and let them lay... that is nothing to brag about or be proud of. I see this guy coming up on my feed all the time now, since I watched him once. Funny how people idolize and romanticize it so fast. It's true... he probably didn't really hurt anyone. Those ranches are so vast... the owners, staff, and hunters likely didn't notice the difference as far as deer numbers go. Big bucks go off the radar all the time, all by themselves. But I can't get past wasting the meat. That's complete disregard and disrespect for the resource. Big whitetail bucks are too majestic, too smart, too rare for the average person,, and too precious a resource to be treated this way. This is really no different than the pigs who exterminated the buffalo, took their skins for money, and left them to rot on the prairie. The Native American's couldn't fathom it. Neither can I. I've spent my life hunting as my primary passion. Once you're onto the skill, and get yourself into the midst of a massive population of big whitetail that are rutting - killing them wouldn't be that hard. Especially when you can devote your entire life to it (days, weeks, even a month). That doesn't make you a "great hunter." What it makes you is ballsy, and willing to take the risk. No doubt - he was passionate and full of desire, and worked hard at it - but in my opinion, that desire was misplaced. You claim that you're a reformed Christian? Now time to get some humility, and quit profiting from this. That said, if you had eaten all the meat, I wouldn't even be writing this. You people can glorify this dude if you want. I'm not.
The meat is not waisted, it’s just not consumed by man
The cohost of this podcast never heard of google maps or OnX? fuckin hell...
What is a google?
Will someone please explain to these people that the ocean is is close to 700 miles east and west from give our take away from all this he’s at the dam gulf coast
World record bull snake is 8.75 so his was prob close 30:05
It’s not over.
Just let him tell his story& quit interrupting & asking all those stupid?'s✓
the difference in volumes is horrible..charles whispers most the time and had to adjust the volume the whole hour but i love his stories
Sorry, Mr. Termite
Where's all his heads at?
The book has pictures of him with the deer in the stories. It also has pictures of many of his mounts.
That's fucking funny shit I was raised by outlaws! My dad an uncle shot up sum dudes 77 monte carlo they was trying to steal their weed patch lmfao
Man thats a little different then shooting a deer
Hillbillies?
Game wardens have the most dangerous jobs in America???? False. Not even in the top 30
Makes up more stuff more times its told
I don’t know any deer hunting story’s that it doesn’t happen to lol
@@bobswagger6748
Lol true
I watched 3 different pod casts and 3 different versions of same story. Each one deeper and deeper full of shit 😂
Who is the young ignorant guy who keeps asking hell of stupid questions
Downloads???
I’m calling BS on this part of the story. I’ve done my share of reloading. I don’t think he understands the mechanics of a rifle cartridge based on his load recipe. 1/4” of powder in a large rifle case sound like a squib to me.
You gotta remember it’s a 7mm-08 with a 100grain bullet maybe 110 after the he added the tips give or take a lil I don’t think they would squib I think they would leave the barrel still sketchy tho
I agree that is a very light load for 7mm-08. I have never hand loaded that particular cartridge. But I doubt seriously that the way he described his powder charge was true.
When i was a kid and still to this day i shoot squirrels in my neighborhood woods with a .22round that has no gun powder just a primer and its deadly agulia i think is the brand there not even as loud as a pellet gun
@@Southernoutlaw86 a.22 rim fire case has very little volume area. The primer charge alone in that tiny area is enough to build a consistent pressure to expel the tiny bullet from the barrel. In a deer rifle size case the area is many times larger then the rim fire. The primer alone will not build enough pressure to push the bullet out of a barrel in most cases. And a 1/4” of powder is as good as no powder in most situations. Rifle powder likes to be mostly full to ignite properly.
I’m not saying it’s impossible. But I find it hard to believe he would have any consistency to zero in a load let alone how poor the bullet performance would be.
@@Southernoutlaw86 they are called cb caps. And it is a totally different scenario than 7mm-08. I have no doubt that he had someone hand load him some light loads. But I would bet they are no where near as low as he described.
The dear are no bigger than Florida .dear just there horn i stoot 170 dry biggest one i have got in Florida.
Dude in the black shirt needs an attitude adjustment.
Do u give men attitude adjustments?
Prince of Persia lookin ass
You guys did a terrible job interviewing a legend
Thanks
That's a jackass thing to say. The Man doesn't need an interviewer to begin with.
The one host would be better off not interrupting the other every time he tries to talk. Let them speak.
Way better off! We’ve honestly thought about cutting him from the show… he doesn’t bring much
Andy oughta cut out that snarky attitude….
Preach! 🙌🏻
The young guy is cool, he asks charlie a question and the other guy answers completely wrong. Stfu and let Charlie answer
Game wardens do not have the most dangerous job in America that’s the most ridiculous statement I think I’ve ever heard
You have to consider that every individual they encounter has a weapon of some sort... The most ridiculous statement ever is that Biden received 81 million votes. We appreciate you watching!
@@thebighonkerpodcast Everything that Joe Biden says and does is ridiculous. Game wardens are after poachers not murderers.
@@timothypaul6092 who are armed with, at minimum, a blade of some sort
Dont go in the woods in PA where my uncle lives the game warden dont anymore they learned the hard way a bunch have been shot by landowners and outlaws yeah its one of the most dangerous job I'd say
@@edwardkesock216 Yeah there’s a lot of people that don’t like to be told what they can and cannot do on the land that they own.
I don't understand how him having a bad divorce. Turned into im going to kill a bunch of deer and leave them lay.
