Amy Earnhardt Delivers Hilarious Response As Dale Jr. Describes The Rutting Buck He Saw While Hunting

The good old days. Today, Dale Earnhardt Jr. did his Ask Jr. segment with his wife Amy, where they answered viewer questions about their life and what they've been up to. Amy told viewers about her recent experience at the Taylor Swift concert with her daughter Isla and some friends, which Dale Jr. skipped to go hunting. He started talking about his father, Dale Earnhardt, and how much he loved to hunt, explaining how peaceful it still feels to him to be out in the woods alone in nature: "I went hunting... so nice. I saw a nice buck, the first night, and I had a decoy out in the field and he was coming downwind of the decoy to see if that thing was real, and when he realized it wasn't, he got out of there, so I didn't really get a chance... I had a blast sitting in a deer stand in the middle of the United States, watching the world. Watching the real world move is, I don’t know man, you can’t understand how fun and enjoyable that is until you actually get in there and try it. So peaceful, it is so, so nice. And I mean, I think about everything. Now it’s peaceful, but I'm in my mind... but I’ll be honest with you, I'm not trying to get mushy here, but I think about my dad a lot when I'm deer hunting, because he loved hunting." Dale also remembered sitting on his dad's chain up deer stand with him, and literally laying on the platform while his dad watched for a good deer. Of course, this was a different time, and Jr. remembers being five or six laying there "untethered" 25 feet up in there, which just sounds crazy: "I used to want to go hunting with him all the time. When when I was little and I’d go hunt with Dad, he had chain up deer stands, and basically a chain up deer stand is is a little platform big enough for your feet, a little cushion and that’s it. It’s chain to the side of a tree, you lean up against the back of a tree, you're 25 feet in the air. He would put me on that platform, and I'd lay down on that platform at like five or six years old. And he'd just be hunting, and I'd just be sitting there. Yeah, no safety, none of that, right? Crazy. And it was miserable, I hated it, but I wanted so badly to be with him, where he was." Jr. also remembered always wanting to go when his dad would leave without him to go hunting, and he tried to like it for years when he got older because it made him feel connected to his father: "I just couldn’t. I just couldn’t get to where I loved it and wanted to go do it, but I kept pushing myself, pushing myself, because it was something my dad loved and I wanted to love it too. But I finally got there over the last probably six or seven years." Jr. now owns lands with his brother-in-law and driver Martin Truex Jr., though he goes there to more to relax and enjoy nature than he does to get a deer. But the best part of all of this story came when he started talk about the deers in rut who were looking for a doe to mate with... first of all, just the way Dale Jr. describes anything is funny, but this was particularly amusing. Secondly, Amy's reaction is just perfect (she is literally every wife in this situation listening to their husband talk about hunting), and you can tell she's just praying he doesn't take this explanation too far on a live YouTube feed: "There were about six does that came right under my stand. They’re literally 20 feet away from me just, chomping on acorns. I’m like, how the hell your teeth not busted? Then this buck comes in, he’s about a nine pointer, pretty small buck size-wise. And he is grunting like crazy, 'cuz they’re in rut, so they're chasing trying to find doe that that are ready to go. And he is grunting and busting through the woods, chasing these does. These does are like little gazelles hopping around in the woods, trying to get away from this buck and he’s just like plowing through, and just all kinds of racket and grunting." Amy's covered her face for part of it and looked like she could've crawled into a hole, but she had a great one-liner at the end of his story that perfectly summed it up: "Sounds like he's and he’s got no game whatsoever." Couldn't have said it better myself... I'm glad they're having Amy on the podcast more regularly, she's hilarious and calls it like she sees it, which is my kinda girl.
