Speaker 4: lunch Box. Yelp lunch Box, the French bulldog who the

90
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: owner claims does hunt. And apparently the French bulldogs surpassed

91
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 4: the Labrador Retriever as the most popular dog breed in

92
00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:01,159

00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 4: been the lap. The number one breed in America last

95
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: year was a French ball talk and I can definitively

96
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 4: say I will never own a French bull talk, but

97
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 4: I would own a whole bunch of other ones, the Gryffon,

98
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: the Gordon Setter, English Setter, the French Brittany, American Brittany.

99
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 4: There's just just some beautiful bird dogs out there. And

100
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: there were a couple of rescue dogs too. Oh really

101
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: the yeah dogs at some mixed breeds. Yeah, quite a variety.

102
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's pretty cool to see. You know, some

103
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: pups come in that were rescued from a shelter and

104
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: you know, now we're part of somebody's home and you know,

105
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: part of their hunting season all fall along.

106
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: So the parade was was fabulous, good deal, Yeah, excellent,

107
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: excellent And with people coming into pheasant Fest, there are

108
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure there are, but I'm this is a question.

109
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: There are plenty of but not.

110
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: Really I'm not sure where you're going lead.

111
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: But if people are interested in the new puppy, no

112
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: places to come that people are showing off part of

113
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: clubs and things like that.

114
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there's I think we have just shy of

115
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 4: four hundred different exhibitors on the floor.

116
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: I would estimate.

117
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: In the neighborhood of four dozen to five dozen of

118
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: them are dog kennels or not the physical kennel but

119
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 4: breeders or dog associations or clubs. So the small Munster

120
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 4: Lander Club, the Large Munster Lander Club, the Vudal Hound Club,

121
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: so there's pick a bird dog Club. Again, there was

122
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: forty three different breeds in the parade. Almost all of

123
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 4: those breeds have a booth with their breed club or

124
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: a cannel on the show floor that yeah, they want

125
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: to talk to people about Okay, this is a pointing

126
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 4: breed or this is this this breed. No, no, no, no, no,

127
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 4: we don't allow we don't allow the selling of puppies

128
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 4: on the show floor.

129
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 5: That's just not a good recipe, are But you could.

130
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 4: Certainly buy a pick on somebody's upcoming litter on the

131
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 4: show floor, Like look at the paperwork, and you know

132
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 4: they there are like you know, sires and dams of

133
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 4: breeding that's on the show floor where you can see

134
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: the mom and the dad pup and you know, make

135
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: some decisions about breeding down the line.

136
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 5: But yeah, you can't buy a puppy at peas and fest.

137
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 4: But you can certainly, you know, pet till your heart's

138
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 4: content meet a lot of different breeds. It's probably the

139
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 4: best place in the world to see different breeds that

140
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 4: you may be only find on the internet.

141
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: Well, and I think that that's a it's a wonderful

142
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: idea too, to get to see the different breeds and

143
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: actually talk to people about the characteristics, what their tendencies are,

144
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: easy to train blockheaded.

145
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 3: Was that about you or was that about a breed?

146
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: It depends who you're talking about.

147
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a you know, we have bird Dog Alley

148
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,040

00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 4: lead veterinarians are presenting on the stage.

161
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 5: They're on the show floor the entire time.

162
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: They're a wealth of knowledge for sure.

163
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: Well, and you know that's I think that's a great

164
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: idea to go down and talk about your dog food

165
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 2: and things like that, because there's so many commercials on

166
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: television and now I'm noticing when that when I do

167
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: see them, I don't pay much attention to them.

168
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: I feed Purina and.

169
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: You do too, and because well, we're better than We're

170
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 2: better than Puriana, We're better than you know, our ingredients

171
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: are whatever.

172
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 3: Well, there's definitely a movement.

173
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: I mean it's that word anthropomorphizing, where we as human

174
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 4: beings put on emotions and aspects of treating animals like

175
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 4: human beings. And there's this strain of dog foods that

176
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 4: are you know, you reach into the frigerator and it

177
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 4: looks like leftovers from you know, your family's meal, and

178
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 4: then you put it in your dog and that probably

179
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: makes you feel real good. But you know, I've been

180
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 4: to the Purina facility in Saint Louis where they have

181
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 4: a team of the world's best scientists and nutritionists that

182
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: build their dog food for canines. Because they're not the

183
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 4: same as people. They're digestive systems, different, everything about them.

184
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 4: I mean, they're different species. So yeah, Parina pro Plan

185
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 4: but there are a whole bunch of other dog foods

186
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 4: that are good, and they're out there on the show

187
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 4: floor as well. But Parna, you know they unlike hardly

188
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 4: any other company Federal Ammunitions the one that you know

189
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 4: that comes to mind, but two companies that support conservation

190
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 4: better than others.

191
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 2: It's a quick story because we have to go to

192
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: break in a number of years ago, my brother in law,

193
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: who has now passed away, we were at the at

194
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 2: my house in the basement. Well, they made these little

195
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 2: dog trees that look like hot dogs, and there was

196
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: a bowl of them for the dogs in the basement

197
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: where we were sitting and just chatting. He was munched

198
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: down before we told him well. And then I was

199
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: informed by my parents that the milk bowls that were

200
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: around I carried those as a youngster in my pocket

201
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 2: and I those were a snack.

202
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: So I can one up you.

203
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 4: I know we gotta go to break, but I gotta

204
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 4: tell you this that I can what up you. My

205
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 4: grandpa Bob Saint Pierre, So my dad, my grandpa, and

206
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 4: I all are Bob Saint Pierre, but we have different

207
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 4: middle names. Anyway, my grandpa was in town. It's stay

208
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 4: are our house to go gear hunting. And one morning

209
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 4: he comes out of the bathroom, or maybe it was

210
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 4: the afternoon, comes out of the bathroom. He's like, yeah,

211
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 4: that trail mix in the bathroom. It has gone stale,

212
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 4: trail mixed, Grandpa, I don't think we have trail mix

213
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 4: in the bathroom. And on the toilet on the back

214
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 4: there's a pot of polpoury and my grandpa, I thought

215
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 4: it was trail mix stale. It wasn't stale, Grandpa wasn't stale.

216
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 4: Probably shouldn't need what you find in the bathroom, grandpa.

217
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's he wasn't a upers. So well on

218
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 3: that note, I think it's a good note.

219
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,280

00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 2: a few times ice fishing a year, and they were

317
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 2: planning this big trip out to Fort Pack. Usually go

318
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 2: northwest angle and take snow wheels out and stay on

319
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: a resort and things like that.

320
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 3: This year it was going to be different. So they

321
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 3: big trip.

322
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: They had Airbnb, a big home, plan to block off

323
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 2: the lake, and guides already hired and stuff. But usually

324
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: their ice gets about seven inches, he was telling me.

325
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: But they had a week of fifty degrees. The ice

326
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: is gone as deteriorated a bit. So he's thinking, I

327
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: don't know if that's a real good plan. Seven inches

328
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 2: isn't a lot anyway. The place of that fourth pack

329
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: is one hundred and some miles long, and so it

330
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 2: got a little bit later and he's not, no, I'm

331
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: done guys, I'm not this is not for me.

332
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 3: I'm not going to die out ice fishing and go

333
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: through the ice.

334
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 2: Well then soon as he said that, if you're not going,

335
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: I'm not going, well, then a couple of die hards.

336
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: We're going anyway, no matter what we're going anyway. I

337
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: got this supposed to be next week, I believe. Well,

338
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: they got a call that the ice is breaking up

339
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 2: along the shore out there and they can't get mechanized

340
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: four wheelers or snowmobiles.

341
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 5: The UV ice.

342
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: Well, seven inches ain't a whole bunch in my world,

343
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 2: I know, not to begin with. Well you also then

344
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 2: take you can't get anything on it in the length

345
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: of this thing with guides hired and stuff, you're just

346
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 2: going to walk. And he thought this is not smart,

347
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: and he said, no, I'm definitely out. We'll lose money

348
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: on the house. I don't need that. So that was okay,

349
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden they had a zoom meeting

350
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:48,239
Speaker 2: with a group. Nobody's going. The guides they had to

351
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 2: contact them and nice pretty iffy could plan the house.

352
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: They had to cancel the house. They lost some money

353
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 2: on that, but he said it's better than dying out.

354
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: There, you think.

355
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: So, they're kind of the same deal here. When we

356
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: talked about it before with Tommy and some other guests,

357
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 2: that the the the AsSalt coming off vehicles that come

358
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: down on the lake coupled with the sun that we've had. Yeah,

359
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 2: and they say it's cold today, but it ain't making

360
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: a lot of ice, so be very careful.

361
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: Well, it was probably a week ago.

362
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 4: For the first time in a decade, the Apostle Islands

363
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 4: ice caves opened up on Lake Superior and there are

364
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 4: hundreds of people going out there. And I don't know

365
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 4: what was the day we had all the wind.

366
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: Was it Tuesday? Yeah, one of those.

367
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 4: It took about, you know, half a night, and Lake

368
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 4: Spear is completely open again, and they don't have anybody

369
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 4: going out to those ice caves anymore because every there's

370
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 4: not a lick of ice for people to walk on. Yeah, yeah,

371
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 4: can you that that would have been disconcend They were

372
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 4: planning to have that open for a while. I'll be

373
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 4: neat to see, but boy, Lake Superior is just a beast.

374
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: I just can't imagine being stuck on an ice floe

375
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 2: on Superior and imagine it's breaking up, and it's breaking

376
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 2: up around you and you're hoping to hope that you

377
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: got something to stand on.

378
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've swammed in Lake Superior in July. Can you

379
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 4: imagine being forced to swim? No, no, thank you.

380
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 3: The only time I.

381
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: Can compare being in cold water is when I was

382
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 2: I've told the story why we took a We wanted

383
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 2: to be the.

384
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 3: First water skiing.

385
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: Okay, put to put the boat in on the beach April.

386
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: It was Mother's Day.

387
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 3: Whenever that is you know when that is fishing opener,

388
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 3: it's me.

389
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: Well, it was me. It was before because the lake

390
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: was still partially froze. The upper lake was froze, and

391
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: then the lower lake. We put it in the beach,

392
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 2: which is no more. I got out there and wol

393
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 2: hilled brand. He was pretty pretty cocky because I could

394
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 2: ski pretty well, and uh put that slallom ski.

395
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: Don took off bone drive.

396
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 2: My legs are wet a little bit, cut back and forth,

397
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: ski slipped out from under me, hit the water and

398
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 2: it just I honestly good. It's like somebody punches.

399
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: In the gun. Breath away. Oh die goodness.

400
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 2: My voice went up about four or five ocks. Unbelievable

401
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: how cold it was that's been a lot a lot

402
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: of years, and it's still not a good plan. Only

403
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 2: you don't want to do that, No, don't want to

404
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: do that. The other thing would be imagine your truck

405
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 2: going down and crawling out and having to watch it.

406
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 3: Sink out of sight.

407
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 7: Yeah.

408
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 3: I watched my cell phone sink out of sight one time.

409
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 4: Spinning around and around is like killing that laugh right

410
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 4: deep deep deep, Zippy doll.

411
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 3: It's a metronome, Is that what it is? Boom boom boom.

412
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: Zippy came in that day and later in the evening

413
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 2: or in the afternoons.

414
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: Did you try to call me this last I tried

415
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 3: to answer, but all I got.

416
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 5: Was bull blue.

417
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: Rascal. Uh. But anyway, Yeah, it was fun at all,

418
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 2: but it's it's all good stuff. And but anyway, the

419
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: whole crux of the thing was be careful.

420
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: If you're going to wander out in the.

421
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 2: Ice, especially south of the city's cities in south, be

422
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 2: very careful. Tackle was telling me when I talked to

423
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: him yesterday that, uh, somebody down in I'm sure Fairmont, Fairwell,

424
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: and they lost their wheelhouse because it's sane and other

425
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: people when they leave their houses out and they still

426
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 2: can for a few more days, I believe, when that's right.

427
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 5: So they got to be off by March first, I believe.

428
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 4: So yeah, we're obviously not going to get Paul Hartman

429
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 4: from Minnesota Muski Expo, but well we will mention that

430

433
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 3: It is. I think they were there last year, but

457
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: a spinner bait. We got it, we landed it and

458
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: it was the length of the rod locker, however long

459
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 2: that was. But it was a giant and he wanted

460
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 2: to take a picture. Well, the head, the fisher's head

461
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: just flopped a little bit that got over the side.

462
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 2: He's definitely trying to save it for a photo. It

463
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: slid back into the lake and he looked at me

464
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: well wide eyed and said, you saw him.

465
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,960

475
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 7: Welcome back to Fan Outdoors, joined now by author, naturalist

476
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 7: and photographer Stan Tequila. Whether it's in Minnesota, Alaska, or Africa.

477
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 7: He's always in search of all things wild and natural.

478
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 5: He may even know more about animals than they do themselves.

479
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: And you thought the cat knew the outdoors.

480
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 7: Here's fan favorite Stan Tequila on fan outdoors.

481
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 4: Stand.

482
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: You got back in Minnesota just in time for some

483
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: more cold weather, my friend.

484
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 5: And the snow and the snow.

485
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yeah, I wouldn't want you to miss that.

486
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 3: I mean, doc got it.

487
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I just spent I'm doing really good. I

488
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 5: just had about four weeks out in Yellowstone with a

489
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 5: couple of photo tours, so two different groups of photo

490
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 5: photo groups. And speaking of lack of snow, Yellowstone had

491
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 5: just disappointingly very little snow and the temperatures were ridiculously warm.

492
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 5: So and all that means is that when the winters

493
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 5: are not difficult, the animals are not like pushed down

494
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 5: the mountains into the valleys where the roads are at.

495
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 5: And then you know, tours roads, which gives them access,

496
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 5: you know, gives us access to them. And so it's

497
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 5: kind of a yeah, kind of an interesting Well, it's

498
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 5: funny how how weather dependent it really truly is too.

499
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: Well good for the animals, probably unless it gets too.

500
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 5: Dry excellent, excellent for the animals, no problems for them

501
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 5: getting along. The bison normally have to push through, you know,

502
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 5: three four feet of snow and or you get down

503
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 5: to the grass to feed and they just they just

504
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 5: go to areas where the sun has melted off everything

505
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 5: just feed there. So it's so easy.

506
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: Well, are there the predators that are counting on them

507
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 2: as there's still plenty of food available if they can

508
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: get after cripples and things like that.

509
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, because there's still uh, you know, winter kills. As

510
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 5: far as the sick, the injured, the elderly, that type

511
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 5: of thing. We did have a situation one day. It's

512
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 5: in an area called Fountain Flats. It's a big, large,

513
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 5: large opening area between like two mountains and the Fountain

514
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 5: Geothermal area is located nearby, and the bison like to

515
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 5: hang out there because it does keep the the ground

516
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 5: keeps the snow melted a little bit and they can

517
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 5: find good food. And there was a female cow that

518
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 5: was bison that was very badly injured, so it when

519
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 5: it walked it, I mean it couldn't use its front

520
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 5: right leg hardly at all. And about four wolves made

521
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 5: it into the valley and went over and they find

522
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 5: these warm areas on the ground where the geothermal areas

523
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 5: melted off all the snow. They lay there because you know,

524
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 5: they can absorb the heat straight in like that, and

525
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 5: they they're laying there, and about a thousand yards away

526
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 5: was this bison were And we sat there all day

527
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 5: waiting hopefully something would happen. And slowly the bison started

528
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 5: moving and kept moving and kept moving and moving away,

529
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 5: and the wolves didn't even raised their head, they never

530
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 5: even looked up or anything. And by the time the

531
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 5: bison were long gone, the wolves finally got up and

532
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 5: looked around, like what's going on, you know, And that

533
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 5: was that. So it was a day we spent just

534
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 5: sitting and waiting and waiting, waiting.

535
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: H I watched a video I can't remember always on

536
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: turkey hunting this last week, and it was kind of

537
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 2: doing the same thing. These this guy's were guy was

538
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: waiting for these tom turkeys to walk by, and they

539
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 2: got to a patrick greenery and they just plunked down.

540
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: They just settled in and you could hardly see them

541
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: anymore except for their head, but they just sat there

542
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: and sat there and sat there, safe as a snug,

543
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 2: as a bug in a rug because it just yea

544
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, they get up or walk a

545
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: little bit, they dropped back down and it was Yeah,

546
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: I thought it was kind of interesting.

547
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 3: I've never seen him really do that.

548
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 5: But they want to be too distracted. Yeah, I don't

549
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 5: want to be too distracted. But I'm watching the Great

550
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 5: horn Owl live cam that I've got set up, and

551
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 5: the mom the dad just came in with a vole

552
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 5: and fed the mom mom ate the bowl and then

553
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 5: just she just left the nest and you can see

554
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 5: the three eggs sitting there. And it's funny because the

555
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 5: eggs are sitting there in one little open area with

556
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 5: snow all around.

557
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 2: It, completely ringing it. I would know how long she'll

558
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: be gone before they are concerned about it and they

559
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: come back and sit on the eggs again.

560
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 5: Well that's that's really an interesting question. And that's something

561
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 5: that we're working on right now, is we're documenting all

562
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 5: of the movement of the female. So she's usually gone

563
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 5: for less than ten minutes, so she'll go out stretcher

564
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 5: wings and then come back to the nest and then

565
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 5: sit back down on the eggs. So meanwhile, what I'm

566
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 5: doing is in the chat notes on. So for people

567
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 5: who don't know, I've got a I'm live streaming on

568
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 5: YouTube a great horn owl nest. And so what I'm

569
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 5: doing is in the chat, I'm putting in the time

570
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 5: stamps for what happened. So at six thirty seven, Mom

571
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 5: started hooting. At six thirty seven, also, the male came

572
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 5: in with a vole, and then at six forty one

573
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 5: she left. So then that's where we're at right now,

574
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 5: waiting for her to come back. So it's kind of cool.

575
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 5: It's go ahead, no.

576
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 3: Go ahead? Are right?

577
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: Is there a size difference between the male and the female.

578
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 5: In this case, there's definitely one. There's definitely a noticeable

579
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 5: difference between the two of them. Female is larger. Uh,

580
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 5: you know in the past, you know when I say past,

581
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 5: I meet oh and she's back.

582
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 4: So there you go, three minutes play by play fan

583
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 4: out doors kind of like me.

584
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 5: I got to see this too. Yeah, you gotta see

585
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 5: this though, I mean, you just get so wrapped up

586
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 5: in their lives.

587
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 3: It's really impressive to see.

588
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 4: But a moment ago you said that I can't I'm

589
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 4: taking us here. Owl left to defecate. But that's not

590
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 4: quite that's not a normal thing with an owl. They don't,

591
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 4: don't they regurgitate their Well, tell me how that happens

592
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 4: that because I didn't think that owls defecate the same

593
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 4: way other animals do.

594
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 5: I love that question, do you?

595
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 4: Because I was a little worried asking that Captain's giving

596
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 4: me a strange strange like geez bob, what because I

597
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 4: thought that they urgitated there the waste through their mouths, not.

598
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 3: Through the normal location.

599
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 5: Well, that is I'm so glad you said that, because I, uh,

600
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 5: that never occurred to me that somebody would think that,

601
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 5: because I'm sorry, yeah, to all the listeners, I'm sorry, no, no,

602
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 5: I'm glad you said it, because again, it is I

603
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 5: didn't I never even thought that might be something somebody

604
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 5: would think about, because of course they defecate, they have

605
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 5: to and when they so, So what happens is is, uh,

606
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 5: these owls are eating mice, voles, shrews, you know, sometimes chipmunks,

607
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 5: whatever it is, and they swallow them whole. They have

608
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 5: no teeth and so, and they don't later on, when

609
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 5: the babies are born, they'll tear up the prey and

610
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 5: they'll feed the baby smaller pieces. But the adults will

611
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 5: just swallow down an entire uh you know, vole or

612
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 5: mouse or whatever, maybe in one gulp. Uh, it gets

613
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 5: into the prof and triculous. This is also called the gizzard.

614
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 5: Like I don't know if were you one of those

615
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 5: people who when you were a kid, your parents made

616
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 5: you eat the gizzard, I clean them up.

617
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

618
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 5: Yeah. So this is a stomach. It's a muscular stomach

619
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 5: with a uh like a keratin type lining inside of

620
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 5: it in order to help break up the things that

621
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 5: they can't because they don't they're not chewing right. Well,

622
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 5: then in there all of the juices, basically everything is

623
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 5: digestible gets passed through the stomach. Then and then in

624
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 5: the stomach it goes into the system of the of

625
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 5: the bird. The parts that are not so think of

626
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 5: it as a separation. Uh, the parts that are not

627
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 5: digestible come back up and out through the mouth and

628
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 5: the rest of it goes through the digestive system and

629
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 5: then out what's called the cloacas because birds, birds only

630
00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 5: have one way of eliminating waste and uh, and it

631
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 5: comes out as in in feces. So also, you know,

632
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 5: and this is an interesting thing too with all birds.

633
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 5: They also urinate, but the all of the water within

634
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 5: the urine is absorbed back into the body. They're highly

635
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 5: highly efficient that way, they're not having to drink all

636
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 5: the time. And then what comes out is trying to

637
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 5: try to picture in your mind right now, a bird

638
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 5: dropping like on your car. You usually got that, you know,

639
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 5: down on that brown or black spot. But then there's

640
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 5: always that white yeah, you know, the white liquidity part.

641
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 5: The white liquidity part is the yeah, it's urates. Urates

642
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 5: are highly concentrated urine that uh, you know, comes that

643
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 5: passes right along with it. So when they avoid, they

644
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 5: only avoid, uh you know, with both with feces and

645
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 5: urine together out of the same spot, and it comes

646
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 5: out that way, in these highly concentrated ways. They think

647
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 5: of these guys as very very efficient. And so then

648
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 5: what comes back up through the mouth, what they regurgitate

649
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 5: is the undigestible fur, the undigestible bones and teeth. That's it.

650
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 4: So I was I wasn't completely wrong, but I wasn't

651
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 4: completely right.

652
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 5: But it never Yeah, but it never occurred to me

653
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 5: that somebody would think that it's the that they would

654
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 5: be so unique that they only do this right. It

655
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 5: never occurred to me that somebody, somebody might think that,

656
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 5: which is great because you know, when you're when you

657
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 5: know a topic too well, then you you make a

658
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 5: lot of assumptions, you know, And so I assumed everybody

659
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 5: would just think, oh, well, that just happens. And by

660
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 5: the way, this regurgitation of the fur, the bones and

661
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 5: the teeth, uh, king kingfishers do it, hawks do it,

662
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 5: many many species of birds do this. It's just that

663
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 5: the owls have a well formed pellet that they regurgitate

664
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 5: back up, not you know, whereas the other ones, like

665
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 5: kingfishers or hawks. It's it's more it's more liquid and

666
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 5: it breaks apart, and we don't usually find those.

667
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 4: So that was the power trip question of the Saturday morning.

668
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 4: A nation of fan out doors back to you, Captain.

669
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 2: Well, they've got to be pretty good because they always

670
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: aim for my windshield, hit it right about where I sit.

671
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 5: Yes, oh yes, and the thing is and you'll all.

672
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 2: Then when you turn the windshield wipe around trying to

673
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: wipe it off, it doesn't wipe it just smears.

674
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, so goes nature.

675
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 2: Well, there's they must do a they must whatever it

676
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 2: is a lot, because it sure seems to whenever they're flying.

677
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 2: You could not whenever, but oftentimes when they're flying, like

678
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 2: over the lake and you.

679
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 3: Have to watch that, they let her fly.

680
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, so they That's what I was gonna say next,

681
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 5: is that oftentimes when you see a bird perched and

682
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 5: just before it takes off, it will it will you know, void,

683
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 5: it'll poop and just before it takes off, and everybody

684
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 5: is always you know, kind of said, well, it's lightning's

685
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 5: load before taking off. Well maybe so, but I highly

686
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 5: doubt it's sitting there thinking, all right, I'm taking off,

687
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 5: so I got a bear lighten up.

688
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 4: You know.

689
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 5: It's just generally something where it does it before it

690
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 5: takes off, but it is true it doesn't before it

691
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 5: takes off. And then they also do it in flight.

692
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 5: They also and now some species of birds in their

693
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 5: nest will will avoid in their nest. Also in this

694
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 5: case with the owls, they don't. And you'll even notice

695
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 5: later on when these young hatch, you'll see that as

696
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 5: they as they you know, grow, the young will go

697
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 5: to the edge of the nest and put their butts

698
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 5: up in the air, and you know, and they'll shoot

699
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 5: out over the nest and that way it keeps the

700
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 5: nest clean.

701
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 3: So since I brought us down this road, I'm gonna

702
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 3: get us out of it.

703
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 4: So I'm thinking about boboy quail in the winter, well

704
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 4: in the evening, and to stay warm, a covey of

705
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 4: quail will come back together huddle up butts to butts

706
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 4: in a circle for you know, for gathering warmth through

707
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 4: the night.

708
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 5: What other birds use their.

709
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 4: Like family or colony to interact like that for you know,

710
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 4: obviously there's some protection in numbers, but also just keeping

711
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 4: warmth through the night or through the winter.

712
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 5: A lot of birds do this. They'll huddle together to yes,

713
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 5: mostly birds who are in cavities. So for example, bluebirds

714
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 5: will do this. They'll find a cavity, two, three, four

715
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 5: birds will all get into the cavity and kind of

716
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 5: gym in there, and collectively their body heat will help

717
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 5: keep them warm. It will also raise the temperature within

718
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 5: that cavity up quite a few trees to help them overall,

719
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 5: you know, stay warm. Chickenis not hatches, and some species

720
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 5: like chicken's will do it in mixed flocks. They'll do

721
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 5: it with you know, more than the other other than

722
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 5: just the other chickenis. They'll do it with other species too,

723
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 5: so this is a fairly common thing. Of course, penguins

724
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 5: do this, you know, when they're have a big storm,

725
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 5: they'll all huddle up together and all you know, sit

726
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 5: side by side.

727
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 7: Uh.

728
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 5: So there's this is a common behavior throughout the bird world.

729
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 5: Did you know that about chickene's No, I didn't know that.

730
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 5: So are chickenis in cavities doing this? Yes? Yeah, chicken's

731
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 5: nest in cavities.

732
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 8: Uh.

733
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 5: So chickene's will do one of two things. They'll either

734
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 5: take over an existing cavity, uh you know, maybe a

735
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 5: natural cavity in a tree or an old woodpecker, or

736
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 5: they will create their own by uh excavating it out

737
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 5: of soft wood.

738
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 3: Interesting, do they roost in a cavity.

739
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 5: To Yes, they roost and cavities at night. So this

740
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 5: was something that I did a study number of years ago,

741
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 5: back when I was at the Nature Center and the

742
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 5: we have all these bluebird boxes. At the time, I

743
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 5: had eighty some bluebird boxes and in the wintertime, typically

744
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 5: what somebody with a bluebird trail would do would would

745
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 5: to close the boxes or excuse me, open the boxes

746
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 5: for the wintertime so that the boxes cannot be used

747
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 5: by mice because the mice will find these, you know,

748
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 5: vacant boxes over wintertime, fill them up with fluffing down

749
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 5: and plant material and things like that, and nest in there.

750
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 5: And the problem with that is that mice urinate right

751
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 5: where they nest, and so it'll soak the interior of it,

752
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 5: and it is it's a mess, and it smells, and

753
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 5: it soaks the wood in all this. So what I

754
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 5: did was and so typically we'd open up the boxes

755
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 5: all winter long just to avoid that from happening in

756
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 5: the springtime. But what you're doing when you do that

757
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 5: is you take away these cavities that birds like a

758
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 5: chickenee would use in the wintertime to do that. So

759
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 5: what I would do is certain boxes that would keep

760
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 5: shut and then monitor those boxes and look for droppings

761
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 5: in their feces in there to indicate how much use

762
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 5: they were getting overnight in you know, in the winter

763
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 5: time for these roosting cavities. And it was quite a

764
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 5: high percentage. It was almost fifty percent of the boxes

765
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 5: were being used for cavity nesting or roosting overnight during

766
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 5: the wintertime. So it was kind of like, well, all right,

767
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 5: so do we leave the boxes closed for the possibilities

768
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 5: of them roosting. You know, maybe forty some percent of

769
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 5: them are going to be used for roosting, but then

770
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 5: how many are going to be taken by mice? And

771
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 5: so it's this balancing act of like, all right, do

772
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 5: we want to keep the mice out, but we want

773
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 5: to have provide the cavity for roosting opportunities overnight because

774
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 5: you know, I'm frankly there's not a lot of roosting

775
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 5: cavities around for these birds to get into, right, I mean,

776
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 5: look around, where do you see those? They're just not

777
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 5: that common. And so it's a legitimate question trying to

778
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 5: figure out what do you do? Is it because it's

779
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 5: a pain for us in the springtime to clean them out,

780
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 5: clean the mice out and you know, get the smell

781
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 5: out and you know, dry it and all that, you know,

782
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 5: or is it more important for the birds to actually

783
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 5: have a roost spot for overnight uncold cold winter nights.

784
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 2: Have you have you done any research into what they

785
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 2: will use if something is not available, They use some

786
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 2: marginal areas that are really not suited.

787
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then what they'll do is, oftentimes we'll sit

788
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 5: on a branch up close to the trunk of a tree,

789
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 5: just kind of pushed up against it. Sometimes they'll line

790
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 5: up two or three side by side, shoulder and shoulder

791
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 5: on a branch pushed up against the trunk of a tree.

792
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 5: So these are not ideal spots, but there are spots

793
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 5: that you know, can work. So yeah, they do do that,

794
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 5: you know they And because they have to go somewhere.

795
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a question that I think is a

796
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 5: very obvious question a lot of people maybe don't even

797
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 5: think about it, is where the birds go at night? Yeah,

798
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 5: you know, because you see them all around during the daytime,

799
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 5: where are they at night? Well, they're there. They's just

800
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 5: a matter of rousting. I remember coming home one night

801
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 5: pulling into my driveway and my headlight's caught a phoebe

802
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 5: sitting on a branch right you know, in a shrub,

803
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 5: right next to the driveway. And I was like, well,

804
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 5: there's a good example right there. Is here's this phoebe

805
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 5: sitting overnight in the shrub, just waiting, you know, for

806
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 5: daylight to come back, and very vulnerable at that point.

807
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 5: And that's the So so let me tie this all

808
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 5: together by then saying Okay, so now you've got owls

809
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 5: who are nesting at this time year. The great grown

810
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 5: owls are nesting at this time of year. It is

811
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 5: a good time for the owls. It's a it's a

812
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 5: season of plenty. Winter is a season of plenty for

813
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 5: these because in the spring and summer, when there's lots

814
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 5: of leaves on the trees, you can't see the birds,

815
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 5: they can't find them. There's a lot less cover on

816
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 5: the ground for the mice to hide, you know, all this,

817
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 5: and so it's really a good time for them to

818
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 5: be nesting right now. Because when we had that snow

819
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 5: a couple of days ago, this pair of great hornowls,

820
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 5: the female sitting there, she was completely covered in snow

821
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 5: with just her ear tufts, just these little feather tufts

822
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 5: sticking out of the snow. And so it's really amazing

823
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,919
Speaker 5: and you look at that and you think, how the heck,

824
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 5: Because she's sitting there. Let's say she takes five breaks

825
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,439
Speaker 5: a day at ten minutes of you know, ten minutes each,

826
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 5: that's fifty minute break. Let's just round it to an hour.

827
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 5: So she's sitting there for twenty three hours a day,

828
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 5: not moving, sitting for twenty three hours a day incubating

829
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 5: those eggs, and that I mean you start when you

830
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 5: start putting into perspective in those direct you know, in

831
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 5: those ways, you start thinking wow. And then when you

832
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 5: see her sitting there completely covered in snow, then you

833
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 5: realize that these are really remarkable animals that are completely

834
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 5: dedicated to their reproduction. And so when you think about

835
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 5: things like, oh, if somebody touches a nest and they think, oh, well,

836
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,760
Speaker 5: the parents are going to reject it because of human

837
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 5: sentient like that. No, No, their drive to reproduce is

838
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 5: so strong that they will go and they'll, like you said,

839
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 5: they'll sit for twenty three hours a day, you know,

840
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 5: I mean it is so built into them, ingrained into

841
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 5: them that they are, and the drive is so strong

842
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 5: that they anything will you know, nothing will stop them

843
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 5: from really doing it.

844
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 3: Sounds like a retirement.

845
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 5: No, sounds like a ton of work to me, not

846
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:47,439
Speaker 5: just sitting there.

847
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 3: Okay, hey Stan, we have to take a pause.

848
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 5: Or okay, let's do it.

849
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 3: Wonderful.

850
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 2: We will take that break and we will be back

851
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 2: with more with stand tequila. So hold on, Phillip your

852
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 2: coffee cup, come on back. We'll be here and we'll

853
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 2: be waiting for you. Okay, we'll be right back after

854
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 2: this with more Stan humid four minutes after the hour

855
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: of seven am on a fan outdoor Saturday morning, Bob

856
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 2: Saint Pierre in studio. Here's truly, that's me, Billy Hildebrand.

857
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 2: I'm here our guest, mister Stan Tequila. Find him at

858
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 2: nature spark dot com.

859
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 3: Stan.

860
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 2: Is your hours still patiently sitting or have they moved

861
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 2: on to other things?

862
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 3: Yes?

863
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 5: So yeah, back to the live action here play by play.

864
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 5: When the mail came into the food it was still

865
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 5: dark and so it was at six point thirty or

866
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 5: six forty was at six point thirty something, so it's

867
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,439
Speaker 5: still pretty dark. And now it's getting light. So now

868
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 5: we can expect her to be sitting for a while

869
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 5: and just incubating, and the male will be roosting. And

870
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 5: now now we now take everything we talked about before

871
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 5: and reverse it for the owls Now, the male owl

872
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 5: will sit in a tree, usually in something fairly well covered,

873
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 5: because otherwise he gets mobbed by you know, crows during

874
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,479
Speaker 5: the during the day, and he'll roost all day long,

875
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,479
Speaker 5: just the opposite of the songbirds, you know, because these

876
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 5: these birds are nocturnal birds, and so that I just

877
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 5: find the whole thing very fascinating, and it's it's so

878
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 5: complex and there's so many, you know, facets of it

879
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 5: going on all at the same time, and I always,

880
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 5: I always enjoy that does.

881
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 2: The male help the incubation at all other than feeding.

882
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 5: Her only now and then when she's gone for longer periods.

883
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 5: Early on, when she was first laying the eggs, the

884
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 5: male would come in and like sit down, like, oh

885
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 5: my gosh, I have to keep these things warm, and

886
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 5: we just you know, lay on them. The female has

887
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 5: something called a brood patch. This brood patch is when

888
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 5: she's producing eggs, there's certain hormones within her body that

889
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 5: will kind of swell the vascular system in her chest,

890
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 5: and that vascular system brings warm blood closer to the

891
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 5: skin she then will be And this is something you know,

892
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 5: I know a lot about owls, and I've studied them

893
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,280
Speaker 5: obviously for a long long time, but watching this stuff,

894
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 5: I'm actually learning stuff here too. She has removed several

895
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 5: of the key down feathers on her chest to kind

896
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 5: of put into her nest. Now, you guys might be

897
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 5: familiar with like wood ducks, the females will pluck a

898
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 5: lot of feathers on her breast in order to line

899
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 5: the nest like that, and that's a fairly common thing

900
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 5: to happen to have happened. But with the outl I've

901
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 5: never really noticed it before, and I've been into many

902
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 5: different owl nests in the past and never really kind

903
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 5: of noticed it. But she'll have a dozen or so

904
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 5: feathers in that nest that she's removed from her chest.

905
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 5: So then when she gets down onto those eggs which

906
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 5: she's coming back to incubate, she very purposely will ball

907
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 5: up her feet, so in other words, she'll curl in

908
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 5: her toes so she's not walking on open, flat feet,

909
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 5: and with her big talons, you know, those big nails

910
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 5: sticking out, she actually curls her feet up into like

911
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 5: a little ball and then walks around the ball so

912
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 5: that she's not damaging the eggs with her big sharp feet.

913
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 5: And then she'll position her chest over the top of

914
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 5: those eggs, and then she'll shimmy her way down onto

915
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 5: the eggs, and she works it back and forth, back

916
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 5: and forth, and she's working those feathers through the outer

917
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 5: contour feathers past the inner down feathers which help keep

918
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 5: her warm and get actual skin to egg contact so

919
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 5: that she can impart her heat of her body into

920
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 5: those eggs. Because these eggs need to they need to

921
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 5: incubate at about ninety nine degrees fahrenheit. Well, I mean,

922
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 5: I don't know what's the temperature outside right now, and yeah,

923
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 5: I'll tell you. And so that temperature gradient, that difference

924
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 5: from the outside air temperature to that ninety nine degrees

925
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 5: that needs to be in that egg is a lot

926
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 5: and the greater the temperature gradient between them, the harder

927
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 5: it is for her to keep those those eggs at

928
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 5: those temperatures. So it's very difficult and she but she's

929
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 5: well adapted to do it. And then all those feathers,

930
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 5: you know, will help to like wrap a you know,

931
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 5: kind of a feather blanket around those eggs that will

932
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 5: help keep them close to her body. And then she's

933
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 5: able to do this.

934
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 2: So doesn't the bald eagle male during incubation take turns

935
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 2: of the female.

936
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 5: There's many species where the males will help incubate, like,

937
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 5: for example, all the woodpeckers, you know, common lots and

938
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 5: lots of woodpeckers around there. The males do about sixty

939
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 5: percent of the incubating compared to the females doing about

940
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,760
Speaker 5: forty percent. And in that in those woodpeckers, the males

941
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 5: also get this brood patch, this thing that we're talking about,

942
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 5: this spot on their chest which it becomes more vascularized

943
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 5: and the feathers fall out. Even the males get it

944
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 5: in the woodpeckers too. So there's many species where the

945
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 5: males help out and actually do the incubating. There are

946
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 5: some species where the males do. One females actually abandoned

947
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 5: and leave, she lays the eggs, males take over. Boom,

948
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 5: female's gone. She's off to the you know, to the

949
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 5: sports bar, you know, wherever she's going to go, you know,

950
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 5: and that's it. Yeah, and go hang out. And so

951
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 5: it's one of those things where if there's a possibility,

952
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 5: nature will have dabbled in experimenting in trying to make that,

953
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 5: you know, happen, which I find fascinating.

954
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 2: Are eagles nesting at this point?

955
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 5: Oh yes, oh yes, yeah. Eagles so great horned owls

956
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 5: and bald eagles are our earliest nesting birds. And for

957
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 5: a couple of different reasons, as we mentioned before, it's

958
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:22,839
Speaker 5: a time of plenty for the owls they don't have,

959
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 5: you know, there's so much food for them to be

960
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 5: able to you know, be able to get them through

961
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 5: because the female just needs two or three mice a

962
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 5: day and I said, she's done, and she doesn't, you know,

963
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 5: and then she's fine for twenty three hours or so

964
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 5: twenty four hours. Then same thing with the eagles, but

965
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 5: they're young, take much longer to grow to, takes longer

966
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,919
Speaker 5: to leave the nest, and then later on takes even

967
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 5: longer for them to learn to hunt. So they need

968
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 5: that extra time, So they start early in order to

969
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,439
Speaker 5: be able to get the uh, you know, enough time

970
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 5: in for the because by say October November of you know,

971
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 5: of the following year, the young are now being pushed

972
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 5: away because the parents are starting to get ready for

973
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 5: another round of reproduction and so and even at that

974
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 5: time in October, all the baby grayhorn owls are calling

975
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 5: to their parents to be fed and they, you know,

976
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 5: even at that time of year, which kind of cracks

977
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 5: me up a little bit too. But then that's the

978
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 5: time when the parents are saying, no, sorry, junior, we're

979
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 5: moving on and you're on your own now.

980
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 2: Well, when we were talking about the predator prey relationship.

981
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 2: There's a couple in our neighborhood that are just incensed

982
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 2: about the squirrels coming into their yard and they don't

983
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 2: have a tree within fifty yards of it. But evidently

984
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 2: I think they're freeding birds. But there's a busy live

985
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: trapping and moving these squirrels out into someplace far far away.

986
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 2: That I said, I told one of the guys who

987
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 2: was talking to me about that. I said, they're a

988
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 2: food source for some predators when they come around everything.

989
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you're you're not foxes.

990
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not just able to watch your birds uncoming

991
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 2: into your bird feeder.

992
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 3: Whatever.

993
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 5: Let's let's let's but let's talk about that for a

994
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 5: second too, because do you think this will work trapping

995
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 5: all the time like that? Do you think that will

996
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 5: eventually get rid of all of.

997
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 2: This what you said, because if there's a void, nature's

998
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 2: gonna feeling.

999
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're going to keep having squirrels. Duh, you got

1000
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 3: some neighbor problems, do you captain?

1001
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 5: Well, it's but it's so, it's very true. It's interesting.

1002
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 5: So I this uh trip to the Yellowstone Uh are

1003
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 5: a lot of people from the UK are on my

1004
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 5: trips and they also have our gray squirrel So it

1005
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 5: was it was in to the UK. Now they got

1006
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 5: gray squirrels all over the place there, and uh, they

1007
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 5: they trap and kill. They don't trap and move, They

1008
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 5: trap and kill their gray squirrels. And one couple was

1009
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 5: telling us about their garden, uh that they were, uh

1010
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 5: they they've trapped and killed over three hundred squirrels in

1011
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 5: just like the last year or so and and and

1012
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 5: they're still at it. And I so I kind of

1013
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 5: started to ask them, so, what's your end game on this,

1014
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 5: because uh, you know you're gonna trap forever and it's

1015
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 5: not gonna make a difference. You know, they're gonna be,

1016
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 5: you know, constantly coming back. And as long as you

1017
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 5: create that vacuum, you know, more squirrels is going to

1018
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 5: move into that area because there's no other squirrels there.

1019
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 5: And they never really thought of it that way. So

1020
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 5: it's it's just one of those things where you have

1021
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 5: to kind of plot out and be intentional about what

1022
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 5: you're doing and be realistic too, because you're not going

1023
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 5: to be able to remove all squirrels from your yard

1024
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 5: because guess what your neighbor is going to have squirrels

1025
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 5: and they're going to move over, you know, and it's

1026
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 5: just going to keep going.

1027
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 2: Aside from the fact stand that they're protected and it's illegal.

1028
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 5: You can't do that.

1029
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 4: There you go, Yeah, I know none the guy says that,

1030
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 4: all right, I know, we're almost out of town. Are

1031
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 4: So everybody knows my favorite topic, and that'd be hummingbirds.

1032
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 8: And because apparently I'm the only one that responds to

1033
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 8: social media here, what's that it won't be I ge't

1034
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 8: flooded or I've recently been flooded with reports that hummingbirds

1035
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 8: are staging in the South and.

1036
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 3: Starting to move north.

1037
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 4: So so here's your hum hummingbird reports. Since, uh, since

1038
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 4: you guys are so enamored by hummingbirds, tell us stan

1039
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 4: are they on the move?

1040
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 5: They are? And not only that, purple martins are on

1041
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 5: the move too. So, you know, starting end of February,

1042
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 5: beginning of March, we see in the Southern States, we're

1043
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 5: seeing these birds starting to move back further north. Keep

1044
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 5: in mind that the hummingbirds, most of our hummingbirds are

1045
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 5: wintering in Central and South America, mostly Central America, and

1046
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 5: purple martins are all in South America. They're all on

1047
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 5: the Amazon rainforest and they're all coming back up. And

1048
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 5: so because a lot of the ones who migrate the

1049
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 5: furthest are the ones who start out the first and

1050
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 5: they start going and they because they have a long

1051
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 5: way to go, and you know, they're going to go

1052
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 5: in thousands of miles, moving from South America all the

1053
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:41,479
Speaker 5: way up to say Minnesota, and so it's they start

1054
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 5: out early, and they and they're starting to move. So

1055
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 5: there is hope. You know, the days are getting longer.

1056
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 5: If you listen to your birds outside, you can hear

1057
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 5: chickeny's calling their springtime call.

1058
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 3: Right now.

1059
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 5: The nut hatches are starting to give their little we're,

1060
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 5: which is a springtime call.

1061

1078
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 2: hot off the press note from and from alec Oh

1079
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 2: regarding what's going on in that fair city. But I

1080
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 2: am told that the fishing for the Cure Ice tournament

1081
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 2: got canceled on Smith Lake today because of ice conditions.

1082
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 2: So if you were planning on competing, you don't have

1083
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 2: to plan anymore. It's not going to happen.

1084
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 3: I won you were, you had your secret baits all set.

1085
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 2: Let's bring into the conversation Tackle Terry, because he alerted

1086
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 2: me to the same kind of thing when we spoke yesterday.

1087
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,439
Speaker 2: Also Tackle, Good morning, sir, Well.

1088
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 6: Good morning to you guys, and good morning everyone. Yes,

1089
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 6: the ice is quite unsafe. In fact, I talked to

1090
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 6: John's Baden Farewell and I one of the local lakes,

1091
01:03:58,000 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 6: one of the wheelhouses went through. Is the only thing

1092
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 6: that's showing is the roof.

1093
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 3: That's not a good thing showing.

1094
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 6: I don't know, I think so, But you know those

1095
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 6: folks have to get it off one way or another.

1096
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's oh, Terry, that's an expensive ordeal too.

1097
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 6: Oh can you imagine?

1098
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 5: No, I can't talking about that.

1099
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 6: They'll have to get a dive team in to hook

1100
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 6: it up and try to winch it off or I

1101
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 6: have no idea what they're going to do.

1102
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 2: Well, don't they usually have to put a tripod over

1103
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 2: it and try to winch it up and then get

1104
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:26,439
Speaker 2: it off.

1105
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I suppose, depending on how strong the ice is. Yah,

1106
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 6: you know it just don't have to get it about

1107
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 6: you know something, you know to get it above the ice.

1108
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 6: But you know, the only thing is you got to,

1109
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 6: you know, with this kind of way, you've got to

1110
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 6: you know, use what's on top of your shoulders and

1111
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 6: get it off, you know. It just I know a

1112
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 6: couple of people have pushed it to the tail end,

1113
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 6: but basically there's no houses out on any lakes anymore.

1114
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 2: Well, Terry, you got to pull a wheelhouse off with

1115
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 2: something too, unless it's a really light one.

1116
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 3: But it's probably going to be for sale.

1117
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 6: Cheap guess so you know hopefully insurance covers it, right, Yeah,

1118
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 6: the expensive.

1119
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 3: Repair, yeah, really much?

1120
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, it just yeah, I have noise. It'll be sort

1121
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 6: of interested to see how they get the house off.

1122
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 6: You know. I'm as if they'd even pay a big

1123
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 6: fine and the d n R takes it off.

1124
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's no, that's not a good plan at all.

1125
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 3: No, no, And.

1126
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 6: I drove by a lake yesterday. I've been fishing quite

1127
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 6: a little bit and the axis opened up was open

1128
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 6: water and for quite a ways out And actually yesterday

1129
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 6: as it yesterday afternoon was get my ice on there.

1130
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 6: But I just looked up the extend of forecast and

1131
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 6: I was supposed to get really courts five above here

1132
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 6: this morning.

1133
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 2: Well we had twelve at home when I woke up

1134
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 2: this morning. But it's got to be it's got to

1135
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 2: be a well below freezing for a period of time

1136
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 2: before those axises are going to get really usable again.

1137
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 6: Or there's no question about that, I think, you know,

1138
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 6: and by the extent of work, because is below freezing,

1139
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 6: so uh so we might be back driving out.

1140
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 5: You know.

1141
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 6: The main ice is you know, probably got a little soft,

1142
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 6: but it can definitely refreeze. So we shouldn't give up

1143
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 6: yet for ice fishing.

1144
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 3: We I should all done.

1145
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 6: I'd like to get out a few more times I've

1146
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 6: been out on the ice quite a bit this winter.

1147
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 2: So well, Terry still be able to walk out. I mean,

1148
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 2: for you'll be able to get out for quite a while.

1149
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 2: It's just traveling you're going to have to use the

1150
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 2: two feet on the end of your legs.

1151
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, you think, but even I looked along a couple

1152
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 6: of shorelines bill and was starting to open up. Oh

1153
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 6: so so you know, but if you can find a

1154
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 6: protected area where the sun hasn't hit, uh, then you

1155
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 6: probably be able to walk. But man, you got to

1156
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:53,440
Speaker 6: be careful.

1157
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I yeah.

1158
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 2: Plank time and I've never been a favor.

1159
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 3: Have you done that for if.

1160
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 6: Few times? But you know, then if it freezes a

1161
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 6: little bit, that plank gets awful slippery.

1162
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 2: Well, and also if somebody takes the plank and belongs

1163
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 2: that owns it, then you're so o l Yeah you

1164
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 2: really are.

1165
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 6: That's right, that's right. But you know, I and to

1166
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 6: be honest, I haven't seen people use planks in the

1167
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 6: last two three years, so maybe that you know, and

1168
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 6: you got a chance of slipping off too.

1169
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's uh, I don't know.

1170
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 6: It just when it comes to that, guys, it's just

1171
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 6: time to hang it up.

1172
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 3: Well, it's time to wait for open water come on.

1173
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 6: Around, exactly right, and you know there's plenty to do

1174
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 6: right now, you know, just to sort of by time.

1175
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 6: If you have to open water. You got rod and reels,

1176
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 6: your lures to do placeline, you can go on and

1177
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 6: on with different balls well.

1178
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 2: And you can also it's a good excuse to go

1179
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 2: go look for some new things and enhance your offering

1180
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 2: to the finny grinners in the spring.

1181
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 6: Oh, that's exactly right. And there's always du ruers that

1191
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 2: next year and plan ahead a little bit.

1192

Speaker 6: to go to a retail store and just shop around,

1194
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 6: especially you know on days where you can be on

1195
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 6: the ice or the water.

1196
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I agree, and plus I've been done. Also,

1197
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,720
Speaker 3: have you been sitting in your boat in your garage? Yeah,

1198
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 3: I can't.

1199
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 2: No, I can't get at it yet. There's still too much.

1200
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:05,759
Speaker 2: I can't get the gate opener.

1201
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 3: I would be.

1202
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, same here, it'll be you know. But as soon

1203
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 6: as that weather breaks, if boat, they're a boat in storage,

1204
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 6: so I'll bring them. I'll bring one of them for sure,

01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 6: and then I will you go over it and get

1206
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 6: new tackle put in it and get ready for the

1207
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,679
Speaker 6: open water crappie fishing, wiley fishing on the river.

1208
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 4: Well, what is the earliest you've ever been floating in

1209
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 4: your boat in the springtime?

1210
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:31,839
Speaker 3: Tackle?

1211
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:36,679
Speaker 6: March? And how are we This is a few years

1212
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 6: ago March first we had open water.

1213
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:42,600
Speaker 2: I remember that that was it was a phenomenal Minnetonko

1214
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 2: opened up at her too.

1215
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, it was really and who knows. You know,

1216
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 6: we've got a lot of ice this year, so it'll

1217
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 6: be a little bit. But mother nature can do whatever

1218
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 6: she wants and they could warm up and stay warm,

1219
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,640
Speaker 6: and the ice is going to go really fast and

1220
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 6: then we and start to launch their boats.

1221
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is terry.

1222
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 2: The sun is when you when it is a clear

1223
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 2: day like it is right now, the sun has got

1224
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 2: some warp and it's uh. I can tell because my

1225
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 2: dogs they they like the sun and they just follow

1226
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 2: it around in the living room.

1227
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 6: But you're but you're right. Yeah, the sun is so strong. Uh,

1228
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 6: it doesn't take long for lakes to change and ice

1229
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 6: conditions to shake. That's why if you're still thinking about

1230
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 6: walking out, is to find a shaded area where it's

1231
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 6: protected from the sun. And many times those can be

1232
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 6: good approaches to get on the ice walking only.

1233
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 2: And the other thing terry is people go out on

1234
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 2: late ice. My gosh, bring a life jacket or wear

1235
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 2: a life jacket.

1236
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, and see if you can bring a fishing buddy,

1237
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 6: which you two with a rope or whatever. But man,

1238
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,679
Speaker 6: once it's it's to that point. But I will say

1239
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 6: one thing, you can have some awfully good fishing at

1240
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 6: that time. I think late ice is the best time

1241
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:58,719
Speaker 6: to catch fish, even much much better than early ice.

1242
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:00,799
Speaker 2: Well, if you're going to go out, then go shoulder

1243
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 2: to shoulder so you're both exactly in the same place.

1244
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, yeah, is that natural selection? Use common sense.

1245
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 6: There's no sense. No fishes worth out falling through.

1246
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 2: There isn't much common sense left in the population anymore.

1247
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:18,639
Speaker 3: Terry, I don't think.

1248
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 6: I think you're right. A couple of years.

1249
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 4: Ago, get off the captain's lawn and don't shoot squirrels.

1250
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 2: That's right, right, rare in form today, captain, just stay

1251
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 2: off my yard.

1252
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 3: Get off my spot too.

1253
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 6: We have a lot of things, you know, that we

1254
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 6: can do at this time of the year. It's I

1255
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 6: sort of call a transition time, you know, getting ready

1256
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 6: for open water fishing. Maybe if you're done ice fishing,

1257
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 6: put your ice fishing in a gear away. There's a

1258
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 6: ton of projects that we can buy time.

1259
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 2: With, you know, Terry, I'm I'm I'm the world's worst

1260
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:58,800
Speaker 2: tackle store or because when I'm done in the fall,

1261
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 2: it's usually a rush to get the boat winter rise

1262
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 2: empty everything out that just gets in boxes. So I've

1263
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 2: got about two or three days just sorting things out

1264
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 2: that I throw in stuff.

1265
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 6: But you know, that's a good idea, you know, I

1266
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:17,680
Speaker 6: think this is a great opportunity for us to repunish

1267
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 6: baits and lures, rotten reels, or if you haven't used

1268
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 6: lures for a couple of years, to get rid of them.

1269
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 6: All they're doing is taking up space and the tackle

1270
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 6: container and then also to it becomes confusing. You know,

1271
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 6: maybe we think, well, you know, should I try this

1272
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 6: when the fish aren't bity, which is the worst time

1273
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 6: to try it, because you need to know is that

1274
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 6: that we're going to produce when the fish are going.

1275
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 2: Well, I wonder if this still works. I haven't caught

1276
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 2: anything on it yet, but it might work this time.

1277
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,679
Speaker 6: But you know, I think a lot of angers fall

1278
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,799
Speaker 6: into that trap where they have some lures that are

1279
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 6: you know, don't just don't produce for the style of

1280
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 6: fishing we're doing, and this is the time to get

1281
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:57,679
Speaker 6: it out of that tackle box.

1282
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 2: Well, some of the skirts too, if they get all old,

1283
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 2: the skirts on like a spinner bait or some of

1284
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 2: the some of the plugs and stuff like when they

1285
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 2: get really old, either they get brittle and they just

1286
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 2: fall apart or they're all mushed together.

1287
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 5: And yes, exactly, exactly right.

1288
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 6: That's why it's such a good time too. Like with

1289
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 6: blades on spinner baits or so forth, you can if

1290
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 6: it's a silver card one, you can add each polish

1291
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:26,439
Speaker 6: those up and get that flash back to them. Same

1292
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 6: thing if a person uses spoons. If it's got a

1293
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 6: gold or silver back, you can actually polish that up

1294
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 6: to get that flash for the fish to strike.

1295
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,759
Speaker 2: Do you think you do polish some of this stuff, Terry,

1296
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,599
Speaker 2: The scent from the polish is going to be negative for.

1297
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,680
Speaker 6: Fish, Yeah, it can. But what you can do now,

1298
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:49,920
Speaker 6: say if we have a tackle container of holding lures

1299
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 6: and so forth, and or even with your live well,

1300
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 6: what you can do is take baking soda and just

1301
01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 6: put some fresh warm water in there. And like with

1302
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 6: tackle boxes or lures, you can just put them in

1303
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 6: a laundry tubb or whatever. Just put them in there

1304
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,760
Speaker 6: for about five minutes. That'll descent that and then take

1305
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 6: it up. And you have to make very very sure

1306
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 6: that they're they're extremely dry, otherwise you'll have a rusty shoe.

1307
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've had that before. Or if some of your

1308
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 2: boxes a leak and it rains real bad and they

1309
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 2: set out a little bit, it doesn't take much for rust, No.

1310
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:30,920
Speaker 6: It does not. You even if you're out fishing it's

1311
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 6: raining and you open up your especially with hartbeats or

1312
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:39,760
Speaker 6: spinner beats, is you get a few drops of rain

1313
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 6: in there, you best when you get home open them

1314
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 6: up and let them air dry.

1315
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, either that or when you open it next time,

1316
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 2: just get a garbage can and throw them away right away.

1317
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 6: Right, that's right. But they're like, you know, like they're said,

1318
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:54,679
Speaker 6: and you know, this is a time frame to to

1319
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 6: maybe pick out new lakes, maybe try some different presentations

1320
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 6: and take nees for us. Just write it down, you know,

1321
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 6: and then make sure that you do it when you

1322
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 6: get out fishing, and it really enhances our productivity. I

1323
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 6: think it's so many times, you know, I think we

1324
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 6: always think we know everything about fishing. We have many

1325
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 6: times I don't think we know anything about fishing.

1326
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,719
Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us on Saturday morning out.

1327
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 6: Doors, you know, because you're always doing something different, and

1328
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 6: if we don't accept that, it's so often we hear

1329
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 6: the comment, well, you'll go out for a couple of

1330
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 6: hours and fish aren't biting. We go to the same

1331
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 6: spot where they're biting someplace on that lake. But we

1332
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 6: become so frustrated, and then our concentration has gone, our

1333
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 6: patience is gone, and we should never ever let that happen.

1334
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 6: You cannot hit a lake and expect great results in

1335
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 6: two hours. Most of the time, Terry.

1336
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this the other day too, because

1337
01:15:56,000 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 2: I well, I was looking at tackle and in But

1338
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 2: I remember one year it was we were we were

1339
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,679
Speaker 2: catching fish on jigs, on light jigs, on the Lindy

1340
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 2: Lindy live bait jig, and it was everything it had

1341
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 2: to be pink, and if it wasn't pink, it didn't work.

1342
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 3: As we try other colors. So I got a lot

1343
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 3: of pink.

1344
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 4: I've been telling you that for eighteen years, but go

1345
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:21,679
Speaker 4: ahead and finish your story.

1346
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 2: So then another year, it was two or three years ago, purple,

1347
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 2: and it was just everything, everything was purple and it

1348
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 2: worked great. But then it changed. Last year it changed

1349
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 2: to it was more of a fire tiger, and later

1350
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 2: in the year fire tiger and the purple didn't work.

1351
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 2: The pink didn't work. You sure positive I tried it

1352
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 2: just for you. So there, okay, But how the colors

1353
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 2: changed each year, I don't fishing Maybe change, I don't know.

1354
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're exactly right. That's why, Uh, it's very wise

1355
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 6: for us to take you know, uh, at least you know,

1356
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 6: I usually take about four rods ice fishing something in

1357
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 6: that area or same thing in the summertime, much more

1358
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:14,640
Speaker 6: with all pre rigged with different colors. But you're one

1359
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 6: hundred percent right, Bill, there's no question. Yeah. I think

1360
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 6: first we have to understand, uh, you have to find

1361
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:23,679
Speaker 6: a fish, get something going, and then start to work

1362
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 6: with colors. I've seen colors change, like when I was

1363
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,679
Speaker 6: out the other day, colors changed with it, sometimes within

1364
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 6: two three hours. And I think I really feel that

1365
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:35,640
Speaker 6: fish get conditioned to that for a certain time. And

1366
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 6: to be honest with you, especially fishing for winter sun

1367
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 6: fish and crap these pink is a good color. Valid

1368
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 6: fish in the summertime many times can be go to color.

1369
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And I don't know.

1370
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the color that we catch a few fish

1371
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,600
Speaker 2: on that we just concentrate on that and fish it

1372
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 2: really hard.

1373
01:17:57,680 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 3: It's very pleased.

1374
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:00,560
Speaker 6: I think you're exactly right. Yes, there's a lot to

1375
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 6: be set about. You know, we put a new color

1376
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 6: on our new road, we start said, well, I don't

1377
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 6: know if this is really going to work, so we're

1378
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 6: not really trying our you know, many times maybe we're

1379
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 6: jigging or whatever we're doing, or using a wacky worm

1380
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 6: or whatever, and we change it because we already feel, well,

1381
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 6: I'm trying this. I don't know if it's going to

1382
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:24,560
Speaker 6: really work, and so therefore then our concentration has changed drastically,

1383
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 6: And there's a lot to be set about that same

1384
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 6: thing with you know, the bites going on at certain

1385
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 6: times of the day. In fact, there were some tests

1386
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 6: done where they said the fish were only biting at noon,

1387
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:37,679
Speaker 6: and that was not the case when I should retract.

1388
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 6: The studies said that fish bite at noon, or it

1389
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 6: was a moon phase or whatever, And all of a sudden,

1390
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 6: these tests were studied with skin divers, and when that

1391
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 6: timeframe came when they said that fish should be biting,

1392
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 6: that's exactly how these baits made such a difference. We

1393
01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 6: fished them differently.

1394
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you are going to catch him if you don't go.

1395
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 2: So if you say they aren't gonna bite until noon,

1396
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:04,559
Speaker 2: you end up on the lake at noon.

1397
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 3: If they're gonna bite, they're gonna bite.

1398
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 7: Right.

1399
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 6: You do not know, you know, you do not catch

1400
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 6: fish watching TV.

1401
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,120

01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:43,959
Speaker 2: in Britton.

1462
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:50,439

1464
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:01,800
Speaker 2: not sure Bria is just somebody said something about are

1465
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:02,960
Speaker 2: you getting a pupp this fall?

1466
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 3: In the spring. I maybe asked you that like every

1467
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 3: other day, but I need I.

1468
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 2: Owe it to breed who came after Snam and I

1469
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:18,640
Speaker 2: owe it to her because she's just starting to be

1470
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:22,559
Speaker 2: a wonderful dog. Last year she was much much better

1471
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:24,680
Speaker 2: than the year before.

1472
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 3: Four for you.

1473
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:30,880
Speaker 2: And I maintained too that Britney's they're idiots until they're

1474
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:36,200
Speaker 2: about three. They're just boneheads and it's almost like they

1475
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:37,439
Speaker 2: see the light shining.

1476
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:42,599
Speaker 4: That's somewhat true of most breeds. As they mature, they

1477
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 4: are they are puppies for a long Oh yeah, I

1478
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 4: haven't had any go over the hill on me, though.

1479
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 4: There's one I remember, boy that was before e Collers,

1480
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 4: where I just ran and ran and ran. Oh yeah,

1481
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 4: took off, Brittany or no golden No it was. I

1482
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 4: don't even what it was, but I think it might

1483
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 4: have been a golden But anyway, you took off over

1484
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:09,960
Speaker 4: the hill. And it was right around the end of

1485
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:12,840
Speaker 4: the year and a long time ago, right around the

1486
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:18,960
Speaker 4: end of the year, and I didn't see it until sundown, really,

1487
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:22,799
Speaker 4: and you would have been beside yourself, you think, yeah,

1488
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 4: I knew.

1489
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:25,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was pretty upset.

1490
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 2: And they come, Oh, this little one who it was,

1491
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 2: took off. I let her go out in this wildlife

1492
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,720
Speaker 2: here you And it was a big square out where

1493
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 2: we wanted the places in the other end of where

1494
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 2: we hunt. So I thought, sure were fine, and she

1495
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 2: was being really good. I had her on a long rope,

1496
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 2: and well, just let her go here because she's minding

1497
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 2: pretty well. I took the rope off. That little dog

1498
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 2: took off across the plowing and I thought, I'm chasing

1499
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:59,600
Speaker 2: after her. I'm falling down in the grass. I'm screaming,

1500
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 2: my life lungs out and she's not coming back. All

1501
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:09,040
Speaker 2: I saw was a speck on plowing over toward a farmhouse,

1502
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 2: and it had to be well, I don't know. It

1503
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 2: was a long long way away and I'm screaming, and

1504
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:19,880
Speaker 2: all of a sudden she made this big circle and

1505
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 2: came back just lickety split, hit that low that ditch,

1506
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 2: went down there, came out, came over to me like

1507
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:30,840
Speaker 2: nothing was wrong, and she did exactly what I was

1508
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 2: asking her to do, just a little roundabout way. Yeah.

1509
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 2: I thought to myself, you can't scold her. She's doing

1510
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 2: what you want. You can't scold her. Yeah, And I said.

1511
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 3: Oh, good girl. So they teach your patients do.

1512
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:57,600
Speaker 2: Not forget that a little bitty speck in the horizon.

1513
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what turned her around, but I'm glad

1514
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 2: she did, because I couldn't get to the car way

1515
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 2: soon enough to get anything. I thought she was gone,

1516
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 2: but she wasn't. And Brie is much much better than

1517
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 2: she was.

1518
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 3: A year before.

1519
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 2: She quarters well, she minds like a lick, and she

1520
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:21,679
Speaker 2: just she's really good. So I owe her another couple

1521
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 2: of years too, because she might want to trade me

1522
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 2: in before I could trade her and get a new

1523
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 2: get a new handle, or a new guy with a gun.

1524
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 6: Oh.

1525
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 2: I shot pretty well opening day last year. That's the

1526
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 2: only shots I had, basically, is that right That was

1527
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:43,760

1528
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 2: other birds close to them? Well, yeah, they were wild

01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 3: We'll go. I think I don't know.

1531
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,160
Speaker 2: I think my breathing was such that I ran out

1532
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 2: of air for a while too.

1533
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:01,559
Speaker 3: Just at the dock.

1535
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:07,640
Speaker 2: a long time, and I said, I haven't used it.

1536
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 2: I don't remember when I used it last summer when

1537
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 2: we had that real thick smoke in the and then

1538
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 2: it got real difficult to breathe.

1539
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:19,000
Speaker 3: You have asthma, but not a very scientific.

1543
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:29,639
Speaker 3: It helps you breathe.

1544
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 2: It's into this apparatus that it was, and it helps

1545
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:36,360
Speaker 2: you breathe because I couldn't. In fact, I heard stories

1546
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,560
Speaker 2: about my folks talking about taking me someplace at a

1547
01:27:39,640 --> 01:27:43,200
Speaker 2: way as some woman quack waved bat wings over me

1548
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 2: as well. Come on, really, I don't remember it, but

1549
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 2: that's the stories I had heard.

1550
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 3: They were looking for anything.

1551
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:55,680
Speaker 4: So that's why the way you are. Yeah, someone was

1552
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:57,200
Speaker 4: waving bat wings over you.

1553
01:27:57,240 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 3: As a kid, I have a tendency to sleep upside down.

1554
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 2: Good and you eat chase mosquitoes, them campfire, just nip them.

1555
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. Sometimes a tongue rolls out.

1556
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1557
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 3: I just never know where this conversation is going to

1558
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 3: go some mornings.

1559
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:24,640
Speaker 2: So anyway, one cock upside down, Yes, one o'clock this afternoon,

1560
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 2: A very very professional conversation with a senator. I hope

1561
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 2: somebody else is leading it because you won't find it

1562
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:39,800
Speaker 2: for me. But it'll be fun and it's always fun.

1563
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:42,720
Speaker 2: And the reason I say that is because if you

1564
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:44,600
Speaker 2: are a hunter, I don't know if you're a what

1565
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 2: kind of bird hunter, you are, waterfowl whatever, You're around

1566
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 2: like minded people and they're thinking the same thing. And

1567
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 2: I think that's important too. There's a lot of dogs

1568
01:28:55,320 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 2: and the number one reason people, you know, as we

1569
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 2: survey them after they're leaving, you know, what did you

1570
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:05,639
Speaker 2: why'd you come dogs number one?

1571
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 3: Why would you come back? Dogs? Number What was your

1572
01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 3: favorite elements of the show? Dogs number one? Yeah?

1573
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 4: The dogs are you know, it's the cocaine a conservation.

1574
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 4: It gets people gets people addicted at the outdoors and

1575
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 4: caring about better wildlife habitat.

1576
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 3: And the trainers.

1577
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:28,280
