0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to do in thirty two years. And I

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know why it took me so long to get

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>to it, but you know it, sometimes it's just the

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>way it is. And I have John Akers with me.

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, Okay, my apologies, I'm misreading something anyway, John,

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.559
<v Speaker 1>this is I'm I.

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 2>How do I want to say this?

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen so much equipment that's been confiscated by

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>an agency and it's maybe something boy I'd like to

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>look into this for like Montana or Colorado. God knows

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.119
<v Speaker 1>what might come up, So tell us what is going

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to be happening, and then you know, get into some

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>of the parameters.

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.959
<v Speaker 2>We've got plenty of time this morning, so have.

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 3>About it well. We will open the gates chip at

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 3>about seven o'clock. We'll have a registration area where we'll

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 3>have a lot of people in excess of five or

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 3>six hundred at a time trying to get in and

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 3>get registered for the auction. Auction won't start typically till

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 3>nine thirty. We'll prolong it for a half iron if

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 3>we have a big line of people still getting registered,

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 3>but typically it starts up at nine thirty eight. At

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 3>ten o'clock in the morning, we will start out with

0:01:55.800 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 3>confiscated items such as cameras, crossbows, guns, traps, anything that's

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 3>used in the process of the violation of the Fish

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 3>and Wildlife regulation. Then those can be confiscated by the

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 3>court and their issue does for resale. And we we

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 3>actually work off of a rig that was placed in

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 3>our statues many years ago. It's forty five a point

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 3>four two thives. But everyone's to look it up and

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 3>it's the surplus and excess property ability to auction those

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 3>items OFLF and so.

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>And of course none of this can be viewed beforehand

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 1>before the auction.

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Day, correct. And the point point to that is chip

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 3>we could have people come in and look things over

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 3>for two or three days and then sometimes and it's

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 3>happened before. I'm missing parts off things. You know, things

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 3>are misplaced, the tags are torn off. So to make

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 3>it fair to everybody that shows up and registers at

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 3>the auction, we let them view the morning of the sale.

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Now where will this take place? And we'll repeat

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>that again at the end of the or the end

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>of the morning.

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 3>So it's at our office headquarters on number one Sportsman's

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 3>Lane here in Frankfurt, Kentucky.

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic. So this is this an outdoor event indoor.

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.639
<v Speaker 3>It is, Okay, rainer shine, It's an outdoor event, So.

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Be prepared depending on what the weather is going to be. Yes, sir, okay,

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>just I guess some of the what are some of

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>the parameters? What as I noticed, some things are available

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>only to Kentucky residents. Other things are available to anyone

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>from outside Kentucky.

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, things that are surplus equipment that we purchase as

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 3>an agency can be bought by anyone. Things that are

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 3>confiscated and addition to firearms that we either own or

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 3>have confiscated can only be bought by Kentucky residents. Okay,

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 3>and that's part of those statutes.

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, fantastic, So everybody, you be prepared for that. I

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>mean if I was a sportsman or something and somebody looking.

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 1>But you can look at this the equipment online, correct.

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a listing. A listing is online. Now there's not

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 3>pictures involved, but do your homework. We've got them divined,

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 3>you know where they're They're understandable in the language, and

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 3>you can look at you know, there's a gun on there,

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.159
<v Speaker 3>we tell you what kind it is, what size, caliber,

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 3>and hall. If there's a tractor, we list the type

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 3>of tractor it is or ATV's the same way. We've

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.919
<v Speaker 3>got some Yamall big Bear four hundreds I think in

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 3>it this year, and a Caboda UTV. So there's there's

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 3>a variety of of of off road equipment. There's a

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 3>variety of farm equipment that we use on our wm as.

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>This is how long does something like this take to

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>accomplish from start to finish.

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, I start collecting things twice a year. We have

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 3>an auction the first Monday in May and the first

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Monday in October, and I'll start taking items in from

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 3>staff across the state. Law enforcement will typically bring in

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 3>confiscated goods towards the end of that season prior to

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 3>the auction, but we store house at catalog getting start

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 3>getting it compiled a couple months before each one.

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, you sit tight, John Acres.

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm quite fascinated by this, and I just recently got

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>into auction, going to auctions, and I'm retired, okay, so

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I'll get a little time on my hands, and I

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.919
<v Speaker 1>find it quite fun. And sometimes food's great with a

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 1>food truck. So John, you sit tight. We'll be back

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>with more in the Big Outdoors News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Back in the moment, seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 2>My guest is John Acres.

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>He's the program coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and Wildlife. I guess what you'd call a bi annual auction,

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 1>which is coming up at the Office Complex Outdoors on

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Monday morning, October sixth, and John welcome back. So, you know,

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 1>on a typical auction day, how long does the auction

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>actually run? And I'd love to hear that COVID story too.

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, okay, okay, Well, typically chip an auction to

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 3>run from nine to two or three o'clock, you know,

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.359
<v Speaker 3>four or five hour auction is a standard auction. It

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 3>depends on how fast it goes and how fast people

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 3>are raising their hand and pushing through things. We don't

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 3>We don't antagonize the auctioneer to elevate prices and drag

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 3>it on. We want to sell it and move it

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 3>and be done with it. And so we run through

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:45.360
<v Speaker 3>them pretty good sometimes.

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 2>But that's quite good. Yeah yeah, Now.

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Let me I'll give you the COVID side of that.

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 3>When we were we were in COVID and we were

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 3>mandated not to have any public access or any kind

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 3>of uh you know, personal contact. We canceled our auctions

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 3>for about three years. I think it was a photo

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:07.280
<v Speaker 3>of five auctions total. And so in the course of that,

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 3>business went on as usual, and as things broke down

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 3>and we decided to buy and trade things in we

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 3>collected farm equipment and surplus property that was bigger than

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 3>I've ever seen, and I've been there for about thirty

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 3>five years. So when that morning broke and nobody had

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 3>been to an auction in three or four years, we

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 3>had a line out to the highway almost of vehicles.

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 3>We had a line of eleven hundred and twelve hundred

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 3>people in line at one time getting registered, and the

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Sheriff's office actually shut down Highway sixty coming into the

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 3>complex on both ends because the traffic was backed up

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 3>all the way in town. So anyway, so we know

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 3>not to save them up anymore like that.

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I hope you don't have to do that.

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I imagine the state police, Kentucky State Police were just

0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 1>awfully happy, weren't they.

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Well they helped us work that, one preacharged. So yeah,

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 3>very nice.

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I think you do know some people you do not?

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well I know them now better than I did before.

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, yeah, So.

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>At your auctions, did you sign up when you get in?

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 1>When you get there, you take cash, check, credit card?

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Is how does that work?

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Chip? We'll take cash, credit card, check. If you bring

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 3>us a check and you buy an item or a

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 3>volume of materials more than five thousand dollars, you need

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 3>a letter from your bank show them that you are

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.679
<v Speaker 3>covered to that purchase. Fair enough, but typically you know,

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 3>people will pay cash because there is a virus premium

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 3>and there is a three percent on credit card use.

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 3>So like other auctions, I think that standard across the

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.320
<v Speaker 3>world now. So if you buy some one hundred dollars,

0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.199
<v Speaker 3>you're going to end up paying about one hundred and

0:08:59.240 --> 0:08:59.960
<v Speaker 3>thirteen or something.

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, okay.

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>So in the case of firearms, if you buy a

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>firearm at this auction, does that can you take it

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 1>with you or do you do you have to go

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 1>does it have to go through like a you know,

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 1>an ffoul licensed individual.

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Here's here's the process of that. We have the guns here.

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 3>We don't let people handle guns anymore because people are

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 3>crazy these days, and so we hold the guns up

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 3>on an auction block. They show it to the public,

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.559
<v Speaker 3>they show size of it. They don't work the action,

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 3>they don't point it towards people. We do in a

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 3>safe manner, and people see what the gun is. People

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 3>that have looked at our listing before know what that

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 3>gun is, and they can see how good it looks.

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 3>And if there's a gun that is damage broken or

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 3>illegal in any way we have those destroyed with they

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.959
<v Speaker 3>don't go to the auction block. These are good guns, now,

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 3>well they have a rust or scratch on them or something.

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes it's possible because you know, we don't have some

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 3>those treats are gun that we've been and we've confiscated

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 3>from someone. So in the process of that, you bat

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 3>it gun. It has a lot number, We take it

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 3>back and put in our building. Nobody handles it. When

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 3>they pay for that item, they take that receipt and

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.440
<v Speaker 3>payment and they go down to and we have a

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 3>contract with the nearest gun store and that's Gilbert's Guns.

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.079
<v Speaker 3>This is about a half them out in the roof

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 3>from us right now, and we take the guns to them,

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 3>they take possession of them. Then FTL Licensed dealership and

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.560
<v Speaker 3>that's where that process of the background check has to

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 3>be performed.

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, is that on site, Dens, that's gun store on

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>It's not on site.

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 3>No, no, you can't. In the other days, we used

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.199
<v Speaker 3>to do it them on site, but we don't anymore.

0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Okay, Well that's for those out there that are

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.120

<v Speaker 2>think I forgot?

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Did I?

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:12.559
<v Speaker 1>First segment?

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well anyway, Gary Jeff's up at the bottom of

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 1>the hour with his usual cast of characters and Michael

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>k Allen the same thing from nine to noon, and

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah blah blah. That's the day, and it's

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a hell of a lot of fun. That's

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.079
<v Speaker 1>how I look at it. You know this is around here,

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know. Thanks Danny for helping me out there.

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 1>John Akers is with us. He's with the Kentucky Department

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>of Fish and Wildlife program coordinator for the twenty twenty

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>five Fall auction. I know we need to we need

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:44.439
<v Speaker 1>to catch up on some additional rules here regarding firearms.

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 2>So you get it out there.

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 3>Shut me to get it out there.

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:52.319
<v Speaker 2>I want you to get it out there.

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Yes, okay, here's what it is. And on all these goods.

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Chip everybody has to pass a background check, and so

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 3>we do that off site at a FTO licensed dealership

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.680
<v Speaker 3>which is just right down the road. So after the

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 3>auction of the guns is completed, just the guns only,

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 3>we will have staff, our law enforcement guys will take

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 3>those guns down and process them over and give them

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 3>to that dealership and they will in turn take paid recipients.

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 3>After they pay us, they'll go down to the receipt

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 3>and they'll do the background check. And they've already got

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 3>a listing of the guns, so we've expedited us pretty good.

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.280
<v Speaker 3>All they have to do is look up the serial

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 3>number of the gun, but the person's name on if

0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.200
<v Speaker 3>they fill out the background check, and then they see

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 3>if they pass. As long as they pass, they can

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 3>pick up the gun that day when they're done. If

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 3>there's a hold on it, sometimes there's a twenty four

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.560
<v Speaker 3>hour hold, sometimes there's a three day hold or a

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 3>seven day hold, they'll have to come back and as

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 3>soon as it's cleared.

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>So well, you know, I'm looking at your list of

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:54.920
<v Speaker 1>fire arms and it's quite quite impressive, and you know,

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:59.679
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't matter, I guess, just a point of discussion.

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Just do these things like go for maybe half their

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>value or something like that. I mean, I you just

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:05.560
<v Speaker 1>never know.

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm torn between this answers. So I'm gonna give it

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.199
<v Speaker 3>to you this way. No, they don't. They don't sell

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 3>cheaper than you boum its store. Okay, sometimes they'll be

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 3>worth more because sometimes they're somebody's grandfather's gun and he

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 3>went it back. Yeah, and so if there's some little

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 3>value to it, who knows what it'll go for. But

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.680
<v Speaker 3>in most cases, I would bet in most cases the

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.439
<v Speaker 3>value of the guns are probably eighty to ninety percent

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 3>of what they're worth.

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:34.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay, fair enough.

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's it's an auction, and you just you know,

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you just know, you never know. And this this is

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>a darn big one. So I got to ask you, John,

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 1>what else is your responsibility with Kentucky Department of Fish

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>and Wildlife? Because you're a very nuts and bolts gonna guy.

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, let me see if I can simplify without spending

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 3>the rest of the day on it. I'm the I'm

0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 3>the guy that that monitors are inventory agency. If we

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:05.840
<v Speaker 3>have trucks or boats, or motors or guns or any

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of equipment at our three camps. We have three

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.319
<v Speaker 3>conservation camps in the state. All of the equipment our

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 3>agency utilizes uses and is in possession that are fixed assets.

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 3>And a fixed asset is like a tool or a

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 3>commodity with a serial number. We don't inventory corn or

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 3>chemicals or things like that that we utilize. That's that's

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 3>a usable commodity.

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 3>So if you can, if you can imagine anything worth

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 3>five hundred dollars or more that you can purchase in

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 3>the state of Kentucky, that fish welefid use. I have

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 3>it listed and a monitor, it's whereabouts and who's in

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 3>possession of it?

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and that's all your your all your game warnings

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and biologists.

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 2>And audio staff, field staff. Yeah anything.

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I never gave that any thought whatsoever in thirty two years.

0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Somebody has to keep track of all that crap.

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 3>Well I can. I can make it uglier. The second

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 3>part of that is the vehicles. I monitor the insurance

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 3>on the vehicles and the damage and the repairs through

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 3>our fleet management program people, so it does stop.

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Did they give you an award every year?

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 3>I got one one year. Yeah, okay. I have to

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 3>retire to get it so well that that's that's just awesome.

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's uh, you know we're going to hit a break

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 1>here shortly. But I and you're with the agency thirty

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>two years.

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 3>I've been here since eighty nine. I retired for a

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 3>year and then they talked to me into coming back.

0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 3>And and I've dropped my keys on their desk two

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 3>three times that they won't let me quit. So but

0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:53.960

<v Speaker 3>You know I've got one coming next believe it or not.

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because obviously that's what they hadn't planned on, is

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 1>that they needed to get somebody in there with you, okay,

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.200
<v Speaker 1>for you to train to do it the way it

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:14.440
