Speaker 2: if it's a short short term stay.

21
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,160

Speaker 4: to five? Who are to nine to five anymore? Who

23
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,400

24
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 4: but at least I think it was Dolly Parton. But

25
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: I don't know anybody that starts their day at nine?

26
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,320

00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: last weekend? Was speaking you?

32
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: You your plan was to swing all the way down

33
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: to Florida.

34
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: Uh, that's true.

35
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: I was supposed to go to Florida, You're right at

36
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: the beginning of last week and and then to Iowa

37
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: and then back home. But I canceled the Florida element

38
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 4: to answer questions about Peasant Fest and quil Classic after

39
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: all the unrest and the Twin.

40
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 3: Cities two weeks ago. You heard of Farida? Farida?

41
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: Is that a town in southern Minnesota down by Worthing. No, No,

42
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: it's uh, it's not far from the cabin. How's it

43
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 4: Parda Parada? I don't know, I haven't No, I'll take

44
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: you there. And is that where the tornado hit a

45
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 4: couple of years ago, Okay, I do remember that.

46
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and knocked all the trees and everything. I do

47
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: remember that.

48
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that was the AA the storm right across

49
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: the road from Lake Reno, Okay, And Maple Lake is

50
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: right there also. But yeah, anyway, I don't think they

51
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: have an airstrip so that you can land a big

52
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: plane on, but you could go down there if you

53
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: want to pretend you're visiting.

54
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: So when you said Florida, that's what you thought of

55
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 4: was fairy. Okay, So I do have a funny story

56
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: from Iowa for you.

57
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: Well, it's more about more about me than it is I.

58
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: Oh, you got a ticket, Lane, No, I didn't get

59
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: a ticket, but so I Over the past year, Captain,

60
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 4: I've been struggling with being able to read like notes

61
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: when I'm public speaking and then look up at the

62
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 4: crowd and actually see the crowd, right, So you know,

63
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 4: I'd have to take my glass off, glasses off to

64
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: see the notes, and then put my glasses.

65
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 3: On to look at the crowd. I've reached that age.

66
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: So I I got new set of glasses from my Yes, yeah,

67
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: put yeah old half glasses.

68
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: On your nose.

69
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: Or on your hat when you're talking. So I got

70
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: new set.

71
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 4: Of glasses with bifocals, and I decided Iowa was going

72
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 4: to be my inaugural wearing of the eyeglasses. So I

73
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: get up in the morning and get ready for my speech,

74
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 4: my presentation in Iowa, put on my bifocals, and I

75
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 4: get up on the stage and I tell you what,

76
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: cap I've never done acid, but it felt like I

77
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: dropped acid.

78
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 5: I was.

79
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: Having the hardest time just keeping everything still. You know,

80
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, I could see my notes that I

81
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: could see the audience, but the rest of the world

82
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: was moving, and uh, I successfully, well, obviously that's going on.

83
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 4: And I, you know, kind of like, hey, folks, I'm

84
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: struggling up here today. But it went pretty well. A

85
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: little self deprecating humor always helps the situation.

86
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: I remember.

87
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: I remember when my wife got bifocals for the first time,

88
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: and I remember her stepping and she cussed the floor

89
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: wasn't where she was.

90
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 3: Oh my yeah.

91
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 4: Well, so I did talk to the eye doctor, so

92
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 4: I have my prescription hasn't changed for you know, being

93
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: able to see in the distance, So I can't blame

94
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 4: that for any misses with the shotgun this season. So

95
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: I have regular I have my regular glasses for everyday

96
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 4: hunting and stuff, and then I have buyfocals for public

97
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 4: speaking now, so I'm taking baby steps towards retirement. Apparently,

98
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 4: laser buddy, I don't think I have a lazy eye,

99
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 4: so I don't think they can fix that.

100
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well welcome.

101
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: Well, thank you.

102
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 4: I'm wearing them begin today, so things start moving on me.

103
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: I'll let you know.

104
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: You look clear? Crystal clear? Though, do you look crystal clear?

105
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we'll go get you. That was Iowa. That

106
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: was Iowa.

107
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: Well, we had a couple of nice days this last week.

108
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: Hy today twenty six degrees, and I'm going to forego

109
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: everything else. The only good thing about that is from

110
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: last one week ago when Brett and I were solo,

111
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: we have gained twenty minutes of daylight.

112
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 4: Really, twenty minutes in twenty that's fabulous.

113
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: I agree.

114
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 4: And if it does feel like we're progressing towards spring now, well, just.

115
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: You know, we get into the mid thirties and what

116
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: a reprieve.

117
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 4: It's going to be a little bit chilly today, but

118
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: then it warms up again to morrow.

119
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's all good stuff. But twenty minutes is

120
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: a good thing. And you'll be happy to know that

121
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: the bass Master Elite series has begun day three today

122
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: and if they do still catch baths, there is still

123
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: open water. But it was down on Lake Gunnersville and

124
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 2: the cold weather got there too. Where's Gunnersville Lake gunners

125
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: I think it is at Alabama, and if not, somebody

126
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,559
Speaker 2: will tell us anyway. But so I got to watch

127
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: bass fishing for a while and our friend Seth Fighter

128
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: did well the first day, didn't do too well yesterday

129
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 2: and thought he didn't make the cut because the top

130
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: fifty get the fish. Today he found out after the

131
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 2: fact when the weigh in was said and done that

132
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: he was the fiftieth angler.

133
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 3: So keeps going.

134
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 2: He does keep going, which means he also gets a

135
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: check too.

136
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: So super Bowl or bass Master, I think bath Master

137
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 3: it could be over by then.

138
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: But anyway, and also I think, well, let's take an

139
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 2: early pause because coming right around the corner from Yellowstone

140
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: National Park.

141
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 3: Oh, he's calling in from Yellowstone. Yeah, I did not

142
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 3: know that.

143
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: Element he is in Yellowstone and we will call him

144
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 2: because he's not in his studio in him being mister

145
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: Stan Tequila. And he's been out there for I think

146
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: believe three weeks now, so it'll be kind of interesting.

147
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 2: I think he's scheduled to come back to Minnesota real soon,

148
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 2: maybe even today, I'm not sure. But we'll take that

149
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 2: pause and be back with Stan. And also we are

150
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: going to have the editor of gun Dog Magazine and

151
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: a number of other magazines she's associated with, Miss Calli Parmley.

152
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: He got it, and I'm looking forward to that gun

153
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: Dog Magazine one of my favorites.

154
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 4: Do you get that delivered to the cabin or to

155
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 4: the house, to the house, but at all it's always

156
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 4: at the cabin.

157
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:10,760

160
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 6: I have not.

161
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: That's what I thought, because she's going to moderate a

162
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 4: panel that you and I are on. Oh my, you

163
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 4: didn't know that, Alvin. Huh No, So this is the introduction.

164
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Well, she'll probably get bored with my voice

165
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: with the Golden Tones, Billy, I have a tendency to

166
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 2: speak my mind.

167
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 3: To sometimes here we yell anyway.

168
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: So let's take that pause and we'll be back with

169
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: mister Stan. Tequila right after this, Welcome back to Fan Outdoors,

Speaker 2: joined now by author, naturalist and photographer Stan Tequila.

171
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: Whether it's in Minnesota, Glasgow, Africa.

172
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: He's always in search of all things wild and natural.

173
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,720

174
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: And you thought the.

175
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: Cat knew the outdoors. Here's fan favorite Stan Tequila on

176
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: Fan Outdoors. Stand. Good morning, sir.

177
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 5: Good morning.

178
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 6: What are you doing today?

179
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: It's early, man, There's all kinds of opportunities for it

180
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: to go down the wherever. But so far, so good.

181
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: We'll just take it down comes. Where are you at?

182
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 7: Well?

183
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 5: If that's even earlier here, it's only five fifteen here

184
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 5: this morning, and I'm still in Montana, Okay, and still

185
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 5: in Wyoming, still leading photo tours in Yellowstone. It's supposed

186
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 5: to be a winter tour emphasis I supposed to be.

187
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 5: You can run it into some pretty mild weather, sunshine

188
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 5: and the thirties and forties, and down in the lower

189
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 5: parts like places like Bozeman, they're close to sixty degrees

190
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 5: every day.

191
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: Okay, you can send that up this way any time,

192
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: my friend.

193
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I know. I honestly, these winter excursions

194
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 5: need to be need to have, you know, trying to

195
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 5: kill you weather. You know, the weather that is so nasty,

196
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 5: that's what we need. Yet really drives you know, moves

197
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 5: the wildlife around and get things going and makes for

198
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 5: great photography. But sunshine and forty.

199
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 6: Does not.

200
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 2: With just the opposite, you know, when we got down

201
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: to twenties something below zero and called much colder up north,

202
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: do the animals just kind of hunker down? But you

203
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: said they have to eat and they have to do everything.

204
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 5: Well, of course, it depends on the species. Our raccoons

205
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 5: and possums things like that will hold.

206
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 6: Up for this is not a hibernation.

207
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 5: They're just kind of found a protected area and they're

208
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 5: gonna hold up for a while. They can do that

209
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 5: for several weeks and you know before they're gonna wait

210
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 5: for the weather to change and then they're gonna come

211
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 5: out and start moving about and going about the business again.

212
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 5: So I mean, but other animals, like small birds, they

213
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 5: need to get out and find food every single day,

214
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 5: so they're going to be out there whether it's forty

215
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 5: below or you know, forty above. So it really depends

216
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 5: on the species, and they're all well adapted to stay

217
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 5: you know, as we all know, as I've said probably

218
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 5: a million times, either you adapt to the weather or

219
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 5: you die, right, and these animals have done a good

220
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 5: job of adapting.

221
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: When when we.

222
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: See gray squirrels, I'll see them out in the yard,

223
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: running on the fence or whatever.

224
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: Some of them look so plump and all just really big.

225
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: Are they pregnant or are they just all fluffed up

226
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: for the cold?

227
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're all fluffed up against the cold. I don't

228
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 5: believe there's a well that's not true in squirrels.

229
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 6: You don't.

230
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 5: You can't see females that are that are pregnant. You know,

231
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 5: you when you see that with humans, you have an

232
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 5: obvious uh bump that is visible. But with things like

233
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 5: squirrels and stuff like that, they they the having a

234
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 5: a liability like that where it would be in the

235
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 5: way of navigating your way through the tree tops and

236
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 5: things like that would be it would be a real

237
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 5: problem for it. So you don't really see it in

238
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 5: in those those types of animals.

239
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: What in the dogs that I've had puppies with, they

240
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: get huge and they get kind of waddling around.

241
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, you can see that in some of

242
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 5: the species. I was thinking like horses and yeah, you know,

243
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 5: dogs and things like that, you can see that, but

244
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 5: in these smaller animals, you don't, you know, you don't

245
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 5: see that, and you can't really guess. I was thinking

246
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 5: more along the lines of foxes too. Usually you don't

247
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 5: see that, and the females are usually in a den

248
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 5: and kind of laying low for that period of time,

249
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 5: and so it's not you know, you can imagine it

250
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 5: has to be adapted to be able to still continue

251
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 5: to survive in the wild.

252
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, when will you be making your journey back?

253
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 5: Well, ProAb be back midweek next week. And meanwhile, I'm

254
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 5: proud to announce that I'm going to be hopefully a

255
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 5: good great horn owl grandfather.

256
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 8: I was wondering, hopefully people are following along with my

257
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 8: great horn owl.

258
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 5: I've had this great pair of greyhorn owls dancing. This

259
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 5: is their fifth winter that they've nested, and I put

260
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 5: a camera on it this year, and so people can

261
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 5: tune into a live stream on YouTube to follow along.

262
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 5: She's already laid one egg and is incubating it, and

263
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 5: today should be the day where the second egg is laid,

264
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 5: So I'm hoping to get that. Hopefully that will happen,

265
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 5: and people can go to YouTube and just search up

266
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 5: nature smart Media and it'll come up and you can

267
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 5: see the live stream, or go to my website at

268
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 5: naturesmart dot com and at the bottom of the opening

269
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 5: page there's a link to go to the Great Hornowel.

270
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: But there's also all kinds of videos that you have

271
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: listed that yes, people can follow and get the whole

272
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: play by play.

273
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Leading up to this point, I didn't

274
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 5: know when I was going to turn on the live stream,

275
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 5: and then when she laid the egg, it was like quick, hurry,

276
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 5: put on the live stream. So now, having never done

277
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 5: this before and doing it on a shoe string budget,

278
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 5: you're going to find a few glitches here there. And

279
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 5: I have noticed that it occasionally freezes up overnight and

280
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 5: so I'll need to do those kind of resets in

281
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 5: the morning, it seems like, and uh, but then it

282
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 5: runs pretty well after that, So bear with me. I'm

283
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 5: I'm learning and I'm trying. And my my great friend

284
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 5: Tom is uh, he's my it guy, and he's he's

285
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 5: hard at this all the time, trying to get all

286
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 5: the bugs that worked out of it and things. So

287
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 5: Tom Lawrence, the guys, a prince, I'm.

288
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 4: Telling you, so, when the the oll egg hatches, will

289
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 4: you go on your live stream and snow smoke a

290
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 4: stogie after you become a grandfather?

291
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 5: Yes, I say probably not. I get the sentiment about it.

292
00:17:59,240 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 8: Well.

293
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: We Eric and I and Chad too have talked since

294
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: you talked about putting cameras in wood duck houses. And

295
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 2: you're obviously pretty good at the cameras on flying squirrels

296
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 2: and other stuff. We're talking about putting a camera in

297
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 2: a couple of wood duck houses that we have, and yes,

298
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: is it probably needs to get done fairly soon.

299
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 6: I would think.

300
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 5: I would think anytime between now and mid March would

301
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 5: be the time to do that, because you don't want

302
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 5: to be messing with them after that because we have,

303
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 5: you know, some kind of early spring or something. The

304
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 5: wood ducks are coming back. You want to have this

305
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 5: in place, and usually you know about the time you're

306
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 5: cleaning out your wood duck boxes normally, and this is

307
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 5: something that should be done every year. You should get

308
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 5: up there. I usually do it when it's you know,

309
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 5: the ground still frozen and so you can get a

310
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 5: ladder and be able to get in there clean out

311
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 5: the last year's eggs and all the different stuff, refresh

312
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 5: the wood chips that are inside, make sure everything's repaired,

313
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 5: thing's broken, and get ready for him. And you know,

314
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 5: back when I was at the nature Center, I had

315
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 5: fifteen wood duck boxes there that I have to go

316
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 5: around to, and then at my property now I only

317
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 5: have I guess six or seven, so it's not too bad.

318
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 5: And I did most of my last fall because I

319
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 5: just happened to have a day I was repairing a

320
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 5: I noticed there was some repair that needed to be

321
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 5: done on a wood duck box, so I started doing

322
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 5: that one and I thought, well, I'll just you know,

323
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 5: freshen this up, get it all set. And then I

324
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 5: actually went and did all of them at that time.

325
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 5: So I'm going to be all set to go come

326
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 5: come spring when the wood ducks show up.

327
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: If a squirrel takes up residence and they need to

328
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 2: be evicted. One I learned, don't stick your head in

329
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 2: the side of the box, right, No I did. I

330
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: open it up and it was it was occupied. I

331
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: almost fell off the ladder backwards because I wasn't expecting

332
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: that he wasn't expecting me. But if they have taken

333
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 2: up residence. Does the odor that's in there, Does that

334
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: make a difference, So you need to clean that out

335
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: other than putting fresh bedding and stuff in it.

336
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 5: So that would be the reason why you'd want to

337
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 5: make sure when you install your wood duck boxes that

338
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 5: you install them correctly. You're not just going out and

339
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 5: slap them up against some tree, you know, driving a

340
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 5: bunch of screws in there, and then saying all right,

341
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,719
Speaker 5: that's good for wood ducks, you know, because it's just

342
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 5: not gonna the squirrels will take it. That's, you know,

343
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 5: all there is to it. I have all my wood

344
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 5: duck boxes on four by four poles that have set

345
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 5: into the ground, and then put a squirrel baffle on

346
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 5: the pole so that squirrels cannot get up there. And

347
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 5: then more importantly what I do, because mine right on

348
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 5: the edge of the woodlands and things, is I trim

349
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 5: the branches of the trees around them, because the squirrels

350
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 5: can jump upwards of like ten feet to get onto

351
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 5: that box. So you got to, you know, you have

352
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 5: to do a little site preparation to make this work.

353
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 5: And then when you do that, you don't have any

354
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 5: problems with squirrels and uh, and then the you know,

355
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 5: the boxes are waiting for the wood ducks, which is

356
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 5: really your intended to think. Now, if you don't mind squirrels,

357
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 5: if you're not cleaning out your boxes and things like that,

358
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 5: and you know, if you put it on a tree,

359
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 5: then and you don't mind squirrels, and then that's fine.

360
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 5: But if if you're really intent, I'm trying to get

361
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 5: wood ducks or hooded in mergansers or common golden eyes

362
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 5: depending on where you live. If you're in northern Minnesota,

363
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 5: you can get the you know, common golden eyes nesting

364
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 5: in there or just about anywhere with hooded merganzers. Then

365
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 5: you know you want to go ahead and make sure

366
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 5: that these things are protected and installed in the right area.

367
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 6: That that is a big part of it.

368
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 5: Same thing like, for example, if you're going to put

369
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 5: up something like bluebird boxes and you want to attract bluebirds,

370
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 5: well make sure you put it in bluebird habitat.

371
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 6: If you don't put in bluebird tap.

372
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 5: If you got all wooded lot it's all trees, and

373
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 5: you try to put a bluebird boxes, you're gonna get friends,

374
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 5: or you're gonna get you know, different species or squirrels

375
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 5: or mice or something like that. So you got to

376
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 5: place the boxes in the areas that have the best

377
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 5: habitat for what it is you're trying to attract.

378
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 2: So what about because we had we had some wood

379
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: ducks nests really high in a tree, I mean just

380
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 2: super high, but they're in a in a hole in

381
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: the tree and are used here after year. But obviously

382
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: they're not cleaned out.

383
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 5: You're talking about a natural cavities that we're saying, yeah,

384
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 5: oh yeah, well yeah, that is you know, that's going

385
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 5: to be up for grabs and they're going to have

386
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 5: to fight it out as to who takes those natural

387
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 5: cavities that are high up the tree, typically wood ducks.

388
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 5: The other problem with those ones like that is raccoons.

389
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 5: Oftentimes we'll get in there and uh, you know, pull

390
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 5: the eggs or grab the mom wood duck. That is

391
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 5: natural and that is what nature. You know how nature works.

392
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 5: But if you want to try to, you know, do

393
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 5: it to directly benefit the wood duck or they're herd

394
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 5: of merganza, you want to make sure you put it

395
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 5: in the right place and do the right things by it.

396
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 5: And there's a million and one you know, websites with

397
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 5: you know, plans on how to build them and how

398
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 5: to mount them, how to install them, all that stuff.

399
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 6: It's it's just.

400
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 5: One of those things where if you just take a

401
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 5: little extra time and you know, a little extra money

402
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 5: on getting the right pole and then a baffle to

403
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 5: go around it, then you're going to be so much

404
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 5: happier in the long run, especially if you want to

405
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 5: put a camera in it, because otherwise, although I got

406
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 5: to tell you, this whole world of you know, putting

407
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 5: cameras on things is kind of.

408
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 6: It's pretty pretty crazy because I.

409
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 5: Can't believe how many people have squirrel boxes. They specifically

410
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 5: put up boxes for squirrels, put cameras in there and

411
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 5: then live stream the squirrels and it's like, wow, it

412
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 5: didn't even occur to me too.

413
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 6: And people love their gray squirrels.

414
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 5: And they like watching them and all that stuff. So

415
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 5: it all depends on your intent.

416
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: Huh.

417
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 2: So is there a place or a source that you

418
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: use or do you just go online and find the

419
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 2: cameras to go in them?

420
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 5: Well, the camera the cameras are very interesting because the

421
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 5: technology is changing so quickly right now, and generally speaking,

422
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 5: you're gonna need to have. I would take for the

423
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 5: most stable and depending on where it's at. If it's

424
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 5: very close to your house and you can get a

425
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 5: Wi Fi signal to it, well then you know you've

426
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 5: got half. That's half your battle right there. If it's

427
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 5: not close to your house, trying to get a Wi

428
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 5: Fi signal is going to be You're gonna need to

429
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 5: hard wire it. It's going to have to be a

430
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 5: wire running out there, and then you have to think

431
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 5: about you know, bis and squirrels and everything else chewing

432
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 5: on that wire. You really have to do it. So

433
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 5: for example, with my grapefrn owl nest that's hardwired in

434
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 5: with a cat fixed line and which is that you know,

435
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 5: computer cabling stuff. I encased it in half inch PBC

436
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 5: tubing for I don't know, one hundred feet or more,

437
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 5: and then another thirty feet up the tree. So I

438
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 5: had to you know, run the wire through all these

439
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 5: pipes and then glue all the pipes together, and then

440
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 5: I trenched it into the ground and then attached it

441
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 5: to the tree. You know, this is you know, it's

442
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 5: not for the faint of heart, and you know you

443
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 5: just can't slap something up.

444
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 6: And walk away from it.

445
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 5: However, I have other cameras that For example, I have

446
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 5: a I'm hoping what will be a fox or coyote

447
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 5: den that I've created myself. I've got cameras on that.

448
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 5: And what I had to do was.

449
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 6: Install a Wi Fi.

450
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 5: Where it's this amplifier type of thing where it projects

451
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 5: the Wi Fi signal out and then it picks The

452
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 5: camera is solar powered, so it has a solar panel

453
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 5: on it and then it so that takes care.

454
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 6: Of your power.

455
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 5: But to get it back, I had to use this

456
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 5: Wi Fi extender that would you know, pick up the

457
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 5: signal and then bring it back and it will view

458
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 5: it that way. So there's every situation slightly different, and

459
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 5: so it's and it's really helpful to have somebody who's

460
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 5: really really good at this stuff to kind of hold

461
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 5: your hand along the way to make sure you're doing

462
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 5: the right things.

463
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, is there a particular company that you

464
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 2: go to or rely on or a website that you will.

465
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 3: And once you do know that you go to or

466
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 3: you just rely on.

467
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 5: I've been using Yeah, I've been using the ys It's

468
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 5: Wyze cameras. These things are available at even home depot

469
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 5: and they're simple. Why five cameras. They're meant for security,

470
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 5: but I use them for these things and they have great,

471
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 5: great low light capability, so you can see, you know,

472
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 5: in the dark with them, like for example, you know

473
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 5: my flying squirrel cameras are. One of them is a

474
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 5: Wive camera. The other one I use is real Link

475
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 5: R E O L A n K Real Link. And

476
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 5: these things are they tend to be a more expensive

477
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 5: than you and you do have to use wires for

478
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 5: them and running wires to them. So if you get

479
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 5: something in your backyard and it's you know, within a

480
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 5: reasonable distance like that, running a wire is really not

481
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 5: that shouldn't be that hard hard to do. And then

482
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 5: you kind of have to bring it in through some way.

483
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 5: You either have to bring it in physically or have

484
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 5: to bring it in via Wi Fi. And so I said,

485
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 5: every situation is a little bit different.

486
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 4: With the owl cam, you know set burying the line PVC.

487
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 4: They must have been using this location year after year

488
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 4: for you to countient this fall when you were doing that.

489
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 5: Right, right, So I put this nest platform up five

490
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 5: years ago. I put up in the fall, and immediately

491
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 5: they took to it and used it the first year,

492
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 5: and then they used the second year since their year,

493
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 5: and the fourth this is their fifth year, so I

494
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 5: had track record there. And it's also thirty feet in

495
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 5: the air, so it's quite high, and so I had

496
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 5: to rent a lift to get myself up there to

497
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 5: be able to install the camera and then and run

498
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 5: the things up. It was like it was, you know,

499
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 5: it was quite a production to get this done.

500
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 3: What's it what's it take to make the platform late?

501
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 4: I mean, thirty feet up is just plywood and a

502
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 4: cruck in a tree or what.

503
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, last thing you want to use is plywood, so

504
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 5: because it delaminates very quickly and it doesn't do well

505
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 5: in the weather. So what I'm using is two by

506
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 5: six pressure traded two by six lumber, and it's a

507
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,479
Speaker 5: three foot by three foot box. So I just turned

508
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 5: the two by six on edge so that it's taller,

509
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 5: you know, and then screwed that square box together three

510
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 5: feet by three feet. So this isn't a rocket science.

511
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 5: So you just you know, kind of estimate and get

512
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 5: your you know, make sure your sides are the same

513
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 5: so that you get a square box. Then the bottom

514
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 5: of it I put like a cross of a one

515
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 5: by two in the bottom of it, so that it

516
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 5: goes from you know, one end to the other and

517
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 5: then perpendicular to that from the you know, one side

518
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 5: to the other. So it's a basic crossing the bottom

519
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 5: of it. And that is to support some hardware cloth.

520
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 5: Hardware cloth is wier that is very has a narrow

521
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 5: openings in it, like, for example, a quarter inch or

522
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 5: half inch openings in it, and you do that to

523
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 5: support the nesting material and allow water.

524
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 6: To go through.

525
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 5: And then from there I just put in natural nesting material.

526
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 5: I just put dried grasses and you know, cut them

527
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 5: and laid them in there and formed the nest. And

528
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 5: then for my nest, I went and on the outside

529
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 5: of the box, I screwed down a bunch of branches

530
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 5: because I wanted to make look look natural or more natural,

531
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 5: and so that's basically it.

532
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 6: I just you know, had it set up like.

533
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 5: This, and then this fall, when I was installing the camera,

534
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 5: because it's already been up there for four years, as

535
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 5: I added more nesting material to it. Because the nesting material,

536
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 5: owls do not bring in any nesting material whatsoever, so

537
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 5: they're relying on me to bring in that nesting material.

538
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 5: So after four years, I needed to replace the nesting material.

539
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 5: So I gathered up a bunch of dry branches again,

540
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 5: got in the lift, went up there and you know,

541
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 5: formed the nest, put them all in there, you know,

542
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 5: made it nice and cozy and all that stuff, and thought, well,

543
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 5: there you go. I mean this should this should work.

544
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 5: So I mean, this stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum,

545
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 5: you know, And there's a lot of work to be

546
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 5: done in these things. So if you're going to do this,

547
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 5: you have to kind of commit yourself to it.

548
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 6: And it's a.

549
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 5: Fun it's a fun project.

550
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 6: It really truly is.

551
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 4: I do think you deserve a cigar at the end

552
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 4: of this way. If if folks want to send you cigars,

553
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 4: what's your address.

554
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: N That's a lot of efforts.

555
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is.

556
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 6: It is a lot of efforts.

557
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 5: And then trying to get the network to work. And

558
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 5: I'm in a remote area so that I have to have,

559
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 5: you know, internet access, and that internet access has to

560
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 5: be reliable, and you know, just one thing after another

561
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 5: after another. Again, if it wasn't for my buddy Tom,

562
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 5: I'm not sure this could even be possible because my

563
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 5: capabilities as far as a computer guy. Is you know,

564
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 5: I'm I live in the natural world and I don't

565
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 5: computers don't come natural to me. So you having somebody

566
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 5: who really knows the fact they're doing is helpful, really.

567
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 3: Does I understand? Stan?

568
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: Can we take we have to take a break. Are

569
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: you okay with another segment?

570
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 6: Yeah?

571
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 3: Wonderful.

572
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: On our return, we'll talk with mister Stan Tequila find

573
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: him at naturesmart dot com about what's going on out

574
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: in the Yellowstone what have they been seeing? And uh,

575
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: either they have to run away from Buffalo or anything

576
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: like that or bithen.

577
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: I don't know. We'll find out when we return.

578
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 2: We'll take that break and we will be right back

579
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: with more Stan Tequila after this forty three minutes after

580

Speaker 2: the hour of six a m. Fan outdoors coming away

581
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: until the eight o'clock hour. Bob Saint Pierre in studio.

582
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 2: Mister Brett Blake Moore, our executive producers, taking great care

583
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: of us, as he is always doing on a Saturday

584
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: morning beginning at six am, and we appreciate his help.

585
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: I'm Billy Hildebrand, but nobody really cares about that.

586
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 3: That's okay.

587
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: I'm just kind of leading the way here and we'll

588
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: let everything happen as it does. Mister Stan Tequila is

589
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: our guest and he is out in Montana heading into

590
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 2: Yellowstone National Park. Stan, is anything anything really caught your

591
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: eye and the eyes of some of your guests as

592
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: far as wildlife and the things that you're photographing.

593
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 5: Well, yes, there's a lot of things going on. In particular.

594
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 5: So the month of February is the mating season for

595
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 5: both coyotes and wolves, and so this has been really

596
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 5: a kind.

597
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 6: Of a coyote trip.

598
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 5: We've had so many is around and there's a lot

599
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 5: of different mating behaviors that we've been able to see

600
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 5: and uh and film and photograph and so that's been

601
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 5: that's been fun. A fair amount of red fox uh

602
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 5: we've encountered, and those are always spectacular. As far as

603
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 5: the wolves go, it's uh, it's been slow. It's been quiet.

604
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 5: With the wolves we've had. We've seen them just about

605
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 5: every single day, but oftentimes they are too far too

606
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 5: distant to be able to capture any images.

607
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 6: I have.

608
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 5: I have captured some pretty good, pretty good images. I'll

609
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 5: text you over a few so you guys can see them.

610
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 5: And so that's that's been the second group I'm out

611
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 5: here doing photography workshops, and these photography workshops are are

612
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 5: just such an adventure. They really truly are and and

613
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 5: you know, you're you're able to capture winter and you know,

614
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 5: kind of the rugged things.

615
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 6: In most years.

616
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 5: This year, although we have snow, it is just not

617
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 5: a deep snow. Normally it's three four feet deep and

618
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 5: we're having you know, to uh, you know, really have

619
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,919
Speaker 5: a hard time getting around. But this year it's only

620
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 5: maybe about six inches to a foot on the ground,

621
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 5: so it's not much at all, which is actually making

622
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 5: it very easy for the wildlife. The wildlife is not

623
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 5: having any problems with it whatsoever. It does make it

624
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 5: a little bit more difficult for the predators because the predators,

625
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 5: you know, the thing, the prey, the you know, the

626
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 5: the elk, the mule, year, the bison and all that

627
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 5: have no problems getting around and really have no problems running.

628
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 6: Away from from predators.

629
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 5: So it's a you know, it's like a balance beat

630
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 5: or like a balance. If it goes down on one side,

631
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 5: it goes up on the other, and it is a

632
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 5: so it's good for some animals and not good for

633
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 5: other animals.

634
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 6: And it's a you.

635
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 5: Know, so it's fun. We last year we had a

636
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 5: outbreak of Northern pigmy owls and they were just all

637
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 5: over the place and that was really a special year.

638
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 5: This year back down in normal levels, which is you

639
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 5: never see them and so but we did manage to

640
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 5: find one the last three days in a row, and

641
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 5: so that's been kind of very very special. And so

642
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 5: just a variety of things like that. I am seeing

643
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 5: things like bule Deier in parts of the park where

644
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 5: I've never seen them before, and that's interesting. So there's

645
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 5: lots of things, uh, river otters, a lot of river

646
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 5: otter activity right now too, and they are always so

647
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 5: much fun. I captured some of the best video I've

648
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 5: ever gotten of river odters running, you know, down the

649
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 5: river and they're on the snow and they're on the

650
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 5: ice with snow cover on it and then they you know, slide.

651
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 6: How they how they do that?

652
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 5: They put their legs back and they light on the

653
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 5: chest all the way down. And I captured some just

654
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 5: incredible video this year of river otters running down the river.

655
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 5: So it's just smattering everything. But the number one thing

656
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 5: that I'm really kind of excited about it is we

657
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 5: were uh following a coyote for quite a long distance

658
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 5: and it started to run. And this coyote ran and

659
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 5: ran and ran. We kind of positioned ourselves so it

660
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 5: would run near us. We're able to capture some great

661
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 5: action shots of that. And then when it was when

662
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 5: it reached this kind of a hillside, it went up

663
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 5: and over the hillside and everybody was like, oh wow,

664
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 5: that's fantastic, this is really cool. And then somebody said,

665
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 5: there's some movement on the top of the ridge here,

666
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 5: and when we turned to look, it was a long

667
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 5: tail weasel. Now long tail weasels are we in Minnesota,

668
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 5: we have short tail weasels. They look very similar so

669
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 5: there at this time of year in the winter time,

670
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 5: they're white with a black tip of the tail. And

671
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 5: and there was one popping out of the snow. And

672
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 5: when it popped out of the snow, everybody and it

673
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 5: was blue skies and which was really kind of cool,

674
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 5: and we're able to capture some great images. I was

675
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 5: able to capture some images as it was running across

676
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 5: the surface of the snow, and that's the kind of

677
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 5: the for me, the cool thing that really is, you know,

678
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 5: transpired during this trip.

679
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 3: Well, that's awesome.

680
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 4: What part of the park are you Where are you

681
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 4: in Wyoming or are you Montana? Are you bouncing around?

682
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 5: We're in Montana right now, and we go into the

683
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 5: park every day.

684
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 6: We take these large.

685
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 5: Snow coaches they're called they're forty six inch tired you know,

686
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 5: big wheel monster trucks, and we take those into the

687
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 5: interior of the park in places where you cannot go normally,

688
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 5: you can't have the park is closed in the wintertime

689
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 5: to automobile trafficked. And so we we've got these uh

690
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 5: you know, customize snow coaches that our four wheel drive

691
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 5: and like you said, they get these gigantic tires on them,

692
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 5: and we take those into the park every single day.

693
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 5: So we leave at about quarter to seven in the

694
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 5: morning when it's still dark. We're usually in the park

695
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 5: by seven and we're out all day long. We take

696
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 5: a lunch with us, and we end up, you know,

697
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 5: coming back at five pm when the sun's setting. So

698
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 5: it's quite an adventure, it really is. If this is

699
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 5: a photography workshop and if anybody's interested in this for

700
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 5: the first time, I'm going to be offering to the

701
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 5: public a trip to do this exact same thing next

702
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 5: year twenty twenty seven, so it's only a year from

703
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 5: now and they can go to nature smart dot com

00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 5: for more information about that and contact me for register

705
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 5: to register for this program. I'm only taking six participants,

706
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 5: that's it, and it will be about eight days, nine

707
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 5: days of pretty spectacular of you know winter while I

708
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 5: photography in Yellowstone. So people just you know, get on

709
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 5: naturesmont dot com and take a look at the trips

710
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 5: and you'll see it there.

711
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 2: Do you do you have like a classroom session for

712
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 2: people to stand to fate to learn more about.

713
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 5: We have a debriefing where we kind of you know,

714
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 5: talk about the day's images and if people want to

715
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 5: quickly process some images and have them critiqued, then we

716
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 5: do that. But usually people go on these trips know

717
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 5: a little bit about photography and they're they're usually pretty confident,

718
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 5: but a lot of it's like in the field while

719
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 5: we're doing it. These are the settings, this is what

720
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 5: we need to you know, do to capture this type

721
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 5: of image, and you know, all the settings. They kind

722
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 5: of go because it is a workshop on how to

723
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 5: improve your photography and get a chance to photograph animals

724
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 5: that you normally wouldn't.

725
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So are are all the all the participants so

726
00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 2: they maybe that's the dumb question, but are all the

727
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: cameras that they use motor drives so they can shoot

728
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 2: multiple images per second?

729
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, so this these days, the everybody's using digital and

730
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 5: most people are mirrorless, and the mirrorless cameras are shooting

731
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 5: thirty to forty pitchers per second.

732
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 6: So it is yes, there's.

733
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 5: You get a lot of images from, you know, from

734
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 5: these trips, and because you want to capture every little thing,

735
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 5: like for example, that that longtail weasel as it was

736
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 5: popping on the snow and running, I've got him actually

737
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 5: airborne with you know, front legs forward. He's like Superman,

738
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 5: you know, front legs out in front of him, back

739
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 5: legs behind him. Is all stretched out and he's you know,

740
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 5: a foot off the top of the snow. And what

741
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 5: I love about the image so much is that it's

742
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 5: got a shadow of himself underneath him on the snow,

743
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 5: even though he's not even on the snow. So it's

744
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 5: really kind of a fun fun and you can only

745
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 5: do that when you're running these you know, digital cameras

746
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 5: with high frame rates where you can get thirty or

747
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 5: forty pictures per second.

748
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's not like this old guy when I

749
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 2: tried to use I used to try to take lightning

750
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: pictures with the nikon.

751
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 3: And film. It didn't work that way.

752
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 6: Yeah.

753
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 5: Well, these days, taking pictures like that has become so

754
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 5: simple and so easy.

755
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 6: That's why.

756
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 5: That's why so many people are photographers now, because the

757
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 5: technologies advanced so far that you know, just about anybody

758
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 5: can run these cameras and.

759
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 6: And produce amazing images.

760
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 5: The other thing is true is that because it's me,

761
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 5: you know, and I can't help myself. People learn the

762
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 5: natural history of the animals, and you know where we're at,

763
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 5: what we're doing. So when you come along a photo

764
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 5: workshop like this, you are also learning about the animals

765
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 5: and you're getting personal, firsthand experience with you know, these

766
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 5: types of animals like foxes and coyotes and wool you know,

767
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 5: big horned sheep, lots of things that we're out here doing,

768
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 5: even though long tailed weaseled.

769
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 6: All this stuff is.

770
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 5: You will get educated on it only because I can't

771
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 5: help myself.

772
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 2: Have you had any encounters with any of the packs

773
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 2: of wolves.

774
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 5: Yes, we've had with three different packs of wolves.

775
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 6: We've had most.

776
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 5: Of the time. We had the Recue Creek pack that

777
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 5: had on the very first day of the very first group,

778
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 5: the Rescue Creek Pack had killed an elk and they

779
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 5: were feeding on that and it was about four hundred

780
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 5: and fifty yards away, So it was more of a

781
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 5: can you know, we can see them, and we can

782
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 5: capture group pictures, no like you know, uptight close individual images,

783
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 5: but we can see the groups in that. That's always exciting,

784
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 5: especially for because remember these groups that I've been doing

785
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 5: the last couple I don't know ten years now have

786
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 5: all been from the been from Europe, and so now

787
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 5: this is next year is gonna be the first year

788
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be offering it for people from North America

789
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 5: to be going on these trips, and so that was

790
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 5: pretty exciting for those guys. And we've had both the

791
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 5: Wapaty Pack, which is quite a large pack, there's thirty

792
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 5: some individuals in it has broken up into two different groups,

793
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 5: and those two different groups are like of operating independently.

794
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 5: And as they operate independently, you know, they act as

795
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 5: two different types of packs, but they're all still considered

796
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 5: one so far, and so that's it's been interesting to

797
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 5: see those guys. We've seen them quite a few. We've

798
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 5: seen just about every single day. Another cool thing is

799
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 5: is that about sixty percent of all the wolves and

800
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 5: Yellstone are black, so they're really dark and they stand

801
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 5: out against the white snow, and that is really kind

802
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 5: of a fun you know, looking when they when you

803
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 5: see them, you get these pictures of them, it's kind

804
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 5: of fun to see. We've got a single, lone black

805
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 5: wolf that's been found out in the Hayden Valley and

806
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 5: we've been seeing him quite often too.

807
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 6: And but a.

808
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 5: Lone wolf by itself is it's it's tough at this

809
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 5: time of year. February is the mating season for wolves,

810
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 5: and so there's a lot of extra curricular activities going on,

811
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 5: you know, and due to the mating season and so

812
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 5: they are, you know, a lot of things are happening

813
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 5: that are it's it's so detailed that it's hard to

814
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 5: get into on the shelters. But you know what I'm saying,

815
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 5: it's it's it's really a lot of it is because

816
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 5: of the group I have right now is only interested

817
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 5: in wolves. We are spending our entire day when we

818
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 5: find wolves weren't just sitting and observing and watching and

819
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 5: waiting for them to do something that we can capture

820
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 5: on the digital captures. So it's pretty cool.

821
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 2: Stand maybe the last question, but before you have to

822
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 2: go the packs of wolves of various packs, do they

823
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 2: have different person does a pack have a personality and

824
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 2: would they have different ones that you a person can

825
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 2: identify as far as personality goes.

826
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 5: So some of the packs are better at taking bison

827
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,439
Speaker 5: than others. So for example, in the summertime, there's over

828
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 5: twelve thousand elk in the park, but in the winter

829
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 5: time that population drops dramatically because the elk move out

830
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 5: of the high altitude areas in the lower altitude areas

831
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 5: and a lot of times they move out of the park.

832
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 5: So what's left over for the wolves to hunt are bison. Now,

833
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 5: I don't know who the last time you've been up

834
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 5: against a bison. You know, the bulls can be upwards

835
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 5: of two thousand pounds. I mean, they are massive animals

836
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 5: and it's funny to watch, Like yesterday we had a

837
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 5: lone black wolf walked past like five male you know

838
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 5: these bull bison, and the bison just basically looked, listened

839
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 5: to her head, looked at it and went, yeah, what

840
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 5: do you want? You know, they were like, you know,

841
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 5: and the wolf was just kind of looking at them

842
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 5: walking by, because there's no possible way that this wolf

843
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 5: could do that. You could do anything with these bison. Now,

844
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 5: if you got a young and it's a whole pack

845
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 5: of wolves, then you know there's a chance or somebody's injured,

846
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 5: one of the cows is injured, or something like that.

847
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 5: That's a different story. About four days ago, we had

848
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 5: a herd of bison with one cow with a badly

849
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 5: injured front leg and it was hobbling along. I mean you,

850
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 5: it was very, very very obvious that she had a

851
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 5: major injury. And there was four wolves who were kind

852
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 5: of on the outside, just looking and watching and waiting

853
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 5: for their opportunity. Because I get again, I need to

854
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 5: remind you that when these wolves are hunting, they're not

855
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 5: taking the biggest and the best. They're taking the sick,

856
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 5: they're taking the injured. You know, they're taking the infirmed,

857
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 5: and they are that's who they go after because it's

858
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 5: so hard for them to do this. And so we

859
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 5: sat there for almost in the complete day waiting for

860
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 5: these four wolves to do something, and the wolves just

861
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 5: kind of hung out and.

862
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 6: You know, they didn't.

863
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 5: In the end, they didn't actually do anything. It got

864
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 5: dark and we had to leave. But we thought, oh, well,

865
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 5: here's perfect situation. You've got a very badly injured cow

866
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 5: bison and you've got four wolves. We were just you know,

867
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 5: hoping something, what happens, we could capture the action, so

868
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 5: and nothing actually did so interesting.

869
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 2: Interesting, Well Stan, we're going to go to break my friend,

870
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 2: and we will let you go and wish you a

871
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: fantastic day and hopefully get you back to Minnesota. We

872

Speaker 2: I've had a couple of trips, motorcycle trips and stuff

896
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 2: that that that was b b W.

897
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 3: Said before women. I don't know.

898
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,479
Speaker 2: No, it was just just a guy trip.

899
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 5: Man.

900
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 3: It was fun. It was a summer motorcycle tip to you.

901
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a guy. We need to take a

902
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 2: break there. One of the guys on the trips had

903
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 2: a Harley and that was in the days that the

904
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 2: Harley was as they always dripped oil and they were

905
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 2: always vibrating his stuff. And I was riding a Honda

906
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 2: at the time and his kickstand fell off, lost his

907
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 2: kickstand for his bike. So the only place we could

908
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 2: stop and eat was someplace he could lean his bike.

909
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 3: On and oil was or whatever.

910
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 2: But we got back and driving across South Dakota is

911
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 2: a across South Dakota boring trip on a motorcycle, hours

00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 4: a bird hunter. It was a little bit later in

939
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 4: life that you got this addiction.

940
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 3: Is that right?

941
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 7: Yeah?

942
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 9: I started hunting in my late in my mid twenties.

943
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 9: I grew up, but I grew up in a very

944
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 9: rural area in Ohio, so hunting wasn't strange to me.

945
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 7: It was this.

946
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 9: I was already super outdoorsy, so it was almost like

947
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 9: an extension of being outdoorsy to me. And I started

948
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 9: hunting after I got my first job out of college,

949
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 9: which was with the US Sportsman's Alliance. That's a nonprofit

950
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 9: that helped protect hunting. And I had a friend at

951
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 9: work take me turkey hunting, and I got hooked. And

952
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 9: then I ended up getting my first dog, who was

953
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 9: a surprised bird dog. He wasn't bought as a bird dog,

954
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 9: but he ended up being a fantastic bird dog, and

955
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 9: he is what made me a bird hunter. And now

956
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 9: I'm a little bit addicted, I would say.

957
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,879
Speaker 4: In the experience of getting a dog and leading you

958
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 4: into bird hunting is the focus of the women on

959
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 4: the Wing Brunch, which you're keynoting. Can you give us

960
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 4: a little bit of a taste of what you're planning

961
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:13,240
Speaker 4: to talk about?

962
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 9: Sure, So the same is friends in the field, and

963
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 9: so you know, to me it was the talk is

964
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 9: supposed to be about friends who get us in the field.

965
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 9: And of course my first friend have been my dog,

966
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 9: and so I think they're super important to especially my

967
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 9: passion behind bird hunting and why I do it honestly,

968
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 9: and then the past that the dogs lead us and

969
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 9: the people that they help us meet along the way.

970
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 9: And so I have been very fortunate in my bird

971
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 9: hunting career to meet some of the best of the

972
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 9: best people and be friends and have some of the

973
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 9: best friends out there and love to share the feeld

Speaker 9: a really fun weekend to come meet some new people.

1026
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 3: The most controversial question you'll get this morning.

1027
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 2: I know, I know you've had fresh I know I

1028
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 2: know you've had flushing breeds, and I know you had

1029
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 2: pointing breeds.

1030
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 3: Flushers or pointers. Kelly, you can't go.

1031
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 9: Wrong with Ask you the other day what I was

1032
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 9: to what breed I would stick with? And my first

1033
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 9: love was a laugh. I mean, he got me into

1034
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 9: the world of upland hunting, and I have, of course,

1035
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 9: I think it's I almost think it's smart to start

1036
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 9: with that breed just because it teaches you a very

1037
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 9: different way of hunting. But now I have setters, and

1038
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 9: I got setters because I felt like I wanted to.

1039
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 9: I wanted some point in reason. Now I'm not saying

1040
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 9: I would never get a lab again, because I think,

1041
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 9: like I use my lab for checker hunting, so they

1042
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 9: can do it, like they can do any type of

1043
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 9: bird hunting you want them to do. It's just a

1044
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 9: different style, you know. And so right now I have

1045
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 9: my setters, and I really enjoy having my gun cracked

1046
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 9: over my shoulder while I'm hiking around until I get

1047
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 9: a beat that my dog's are on point.

1048
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 2: You know.

1049
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 9: It's just like it's just a it's a different style.

1050
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 9: If you're looking for a more fast paced got to

1051
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 9: be on the ready all the time. A beautiful lab

1052
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 9: quartering in front of you, Like, that's for you, right,

1053
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 9: If you're looking for a dog that's two hundred and

1054
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 9: three hundred yards away from you, you got your gun cracked

1055
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 9: over your shoulder and you're just waiting for that beef

1056
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 9: and you're just kind of casually hiking, trying to catch

1057
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 9: your breath, and as you're making your way through the uplands, like,

1058
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 9: that's the dog for you, right. And I'm telling you,

1059
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 9: there's nothing there's nothing more beautiful than seeing a dog

1060
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 9: on point. There's nothing I'll I'll argue that to the end.

1061
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 9: So my next dogs will be more centered.

1062
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 2: Whatever I've asked you for a photo for social media

1063
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 2: or podcast or something, you always send the most epic images.

1064
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 4: There's mountains behind you, you're off a cliff, but you

1065
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 4: grew up in Ohio? Well what what pulled you out west?

1066
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 9: Honestly, the hunting I before I took over Gun Dog,

1067
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 9: I was I was the managing under Petersons Hunting Magazine.

1068
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 9: So I also do a lot of big game honting,

1069
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 9: and I do a lot of backpack hunting and off

1070
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 9: the grid hunting, and so when I was working for Peterson's,

1071
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 9: I was really into that. And then as my love

1072
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 9: for bird hunting grew, I got into really western bird hunting.

1073
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,479
Speaker 9: And so I found myself out West a Ton all

1074
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 9: season long, and it was I literally would just live

1075
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 9: out of my car. It was great with my dog Lincoln.

1076
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 9: And when it came to time, I used to live

1077
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 9: in Purita, Illinois for the job. And when it came

1078
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 9: time to decide, like, Okay, do you move back home

1079
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 9: or do you try another place, I was like, you know,

1080
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 9: I really want to live in the West for a

1081
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 9: little bit. And it's really conducive to my lifestyle anymore,

1082
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 9: my passions, and you know, I love I love hunting,

1083
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 9: and I love being in the mountains with my dogs.

1084
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 9: And yes, I'm a trucker hunter, but I'm also tucker

1085
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 9: hunts quail and pheasants, you know, And so I'm just

1086
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 9: closer to everything.

1087
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 5: You know.

1088
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 9: I can be in South Dakota and you know fifty

1089
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 9: you know, twelve hours. I can be in Nebraka in eight,

1090
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 9: you know. And you know, I can be up an

01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,640

Speaker 7: stage charts eleven thirty, with the opening ceremony's at twelve

1174
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:08,360

1175
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 7: the whole Lake of Medicine. And then too, they've got

1176
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 7: a approximately five thousand dollars worth of prizes and there's

1177
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 7: just a lot going on. From twelve to one. They

1178
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 7: got the national anthem, they got posting of the colors,

1179
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 7: the Pledge of allegiance, soaring in the new Minnesota recruits.

1180
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 7: So just a ton of stuff going on. And also

1181
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 7: two it's a wonderful event. Now also to I shouldn't

1182
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 7: mention that the general public is sure invited to attend.

1183
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 7: There will be some sort of small minimal.

1184
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 2: Charge, okay. And how long will the tournament.

1185
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 3: Go, Terry, It goes to four o'clock, okay.

1186
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 7: And what you see fishing is from one till four.

1187
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 2: So, and what species are the target species?

1188
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 6: All species.

1189
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 7: So anybody that brings in a fish will be entering

1190
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 7: the contest, and like you said, they just got it

1191
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 7: a ton of prizes.

1192
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 2: So is it biggest fish or is it a random

1193
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 2: drawing of those who had fish?

1194
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 7: No, it's biggest fish, Bill.

1195
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 2: Okay, categories for obviously a pike is going to be

1196
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,439
Speaker 2: more than a sunfish.

1197
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 7: Right and then also too, if you get you know,

1198
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 7: a bass, you know or something too many times that

1199
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 7: you know bigger fish, can you know that it's going

1200
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:26,959
Speaker 7: to win the tournament? But it varies so much, too, Bill,

1201
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 7: So there's a lot of factors in there.

1202
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 2: What would you be targeting, Terry, if you were fishing,

1203
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 2: I'm assuming you're not.

1204
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 7: No, I'm not fishing, unfortunately, but I guess I would

1205
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 7: probably have a tendanted to target sunfish and crappies. Oh,

1206
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 7: there'll be people there fishing northern pike. There no question

1207
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 7: about that.

1208
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 2: Tip ups are allowed. Pardon, tip ups are allowed.

1209
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 7: I'm sure they are.

1210
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 2: Yea.

1211
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 7: I haven't heard anything that you cannot use a tip up,

1212
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 7: but I'm sure that they're allowed to. And you have

1213
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 7: the option to two lines, so you can do a

1214
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 7: lot of different doubt approaches or ways of catching any

1215
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 7: specie of fish.

1216
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So if you were fishing for sunfish and using

1217
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 2: ultra light, would you use a noodle rod or an

1218
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 2: ultra light or or how would you what would be

1219
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 2: your choice?

1220
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 7: Well that's a good question, Bill, thank you for asking that. Well,

1221
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 7: first of all, what I would definitely do, I would,

1222
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 7: And I now just mention how I usually start out

1223
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 7: or start to fish, depending on the mood to fish.

1224
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 7: That's really the big factor with an ultra light rod

1225
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 7: where you need to you know, set the hook firmly.

1226
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 7: And with a noodle rod here too, you know, a

1227
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 7: noodle rod is going to have a different tip action

1228
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 7: and many times different power and the rod itself, So

1229
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 7: you want to set the hook much firmer because you're

1230
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 7: going to have given that tip. And then when a

1231
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 7: spring bobber, which is extremely successful, especially when you have

1232
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 7: a tougher bite going, is that what we have to

1233
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 7: understand you're and do that the spring gives, so you

1234
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 7: have to really set the hook very very hard. But

1235
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 7: here too, you know, if you watch that spring or

1236
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 7: that noodle tip, but the spring bobber especially, you'll see

1237
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 7: it start to move down and if it keeps moving

1238
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 7: down real slow and steady. That's a sign of a

1239
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 7: bigger sunfish or crappie. If it just sort of jumps

1240
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 7: up and down, then means a smatter fish. But that's

1241
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 7: not always the case, but most of the time it is.

1242
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 7: But there's a big difference using the specific rods to

1243
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 7: really what amounts to bill is to detect that ultra

1244
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:40,679
Speaker 7: light bite.

1245
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 2: I think that Bob would be a good candidate for

1246
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 2: a noodle rod to set the hook because when we're

1247
01:08:47,760 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 2: fishing an open water cherry, the only thing I hear is.

1248
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 7: It is so easy, you know. I think what also

1249
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:02,879
Speaker 7: with a spring that many times we have this tenanty

1250
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 7: just set the hook. You know, as soon as the

1251
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 7: spring starts to move, we have a tendancy just set

1252
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 7: the hook, and that doesn't give the fish enough time

1253
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 7: to allow it to inhale that bait. And you can

1254
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,600
Speaker 7: always tell if you're setting the hook correctly, that that

1255
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:18,640
Speaker 7: hook is going to be pacing the upper part of

1256
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 7: that mouth and not swallowing that beat and lure.

1257
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 3: Come on, tackle.

1258
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 4: There's no such thing as setting the hook too with

1259
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 4: too much enthusiasm, is there.

1260
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, there's a lot to be setting the hook.

1261
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 7: You know, and that's you know here too. Sometimes we

1262
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:38,719
Speaker 7: set the hook too soon, we pulled a bait away

1263
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 7: from the fish. And then sometimes we wait too long

1264
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 7: where that fish actually inhales that bait.

1265
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 2: Well, if Bob is watching, if it's sight fishing, there's

1266
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 2: no there's no such thing as too soon.

1267
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 7: Well, you know, and you can tell if you just

1268
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 7: you know, if you set the hook too soon, you

1269
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 7: can feel that, you know, what should I say, that

1270
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 7: sort of that feel and that you pulled a hook away.

1271
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 7: And so many times we have this tendency to you know,

1272
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 7: just not pay attention to that rod. We're always waiting

1273
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:18,640
Speaker 7: for that telltale signing the rod handle. And most of

1274
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 7: the time, especially for finiky fish, anything including wallete, you're

1275
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 7: not going to feel that thumb.

1276
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 2: Well they Bob calls that a swing and a miss when.

1277
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 7: About the same thing, the same thing. Are you using

1278
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 7: a soft water baseball. I'm more of a baseball guy, Okay,

1279
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 7: but you know, there's a lot to be said about

1280
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 7: the rods, especially for when you have phiniky fish. I

1281
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 7: think there's so much of a factor. Then too often

1282
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:56,799
Speaker 7: we feel that we invested in a good ice fishing

1283
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 7: rod and we're waiting for that feel. Most of the

1284
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 7: time you're not going to feel that fish.

1285
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,640
Speaker 2: What about people coming out to medicine today, Terry, what

1286
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 2: live bait? If they're bringing live bait? Would you use

1287
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 2: live bait or would you use plastics if you're targeting

1288
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 2: some both.

1289
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:15,640
Speaker 7: I think I would really depend on what we're pursuing.

1290
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 7: And then also too, you know, are we going to

1291
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 7: use pronostic ore and live bait? And here too, it's

1292
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 7: something that we really have to dress, you know when

1293
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 7: you're talking about plastic Bill, you know, in our sole job,

1294
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 7: even like with rattles and so forth, we have to

1295
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 7: track the fish and then trigger it into bite. That's

1296
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 7: summertime in winter time for any specie of fish. And

1297
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 7: here too, if you can have the opportunity of fishing

1298
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 7: two holes, then I will go one with plastic and

1299
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 7: one would live bait. And we talk about live bait.

1300
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 7: Definitely I would take wigglers along with you. I willn't

1301
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 7: even monkey with wax worms. And then two using fat

1302
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 7: eds or sacramentos if you're targeting some bigger fish.

1303
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 2: So with uh, I don't know how how would you

1304
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 2: fish two rods? If you're fishing for some fish, would

1305
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:09,839
Speaker 2: you have a like a dead stick rod, yes.

1306
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 7: Or a Bober's stick rod. But normally I'm lead you

1307
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 7: bring that up. I know a lot of anger that fish.

1308
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 7: Some fishing crappies using a bobber and one rod and

1309
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:24,600
Speaker 7: then using uh just jigging action and two off. And

1310
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:27,680
Speaker 7: I've just found this so many many times, all of

1311
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 7: a sudden, and this advice many times to Walley's too,

1312
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 7: but here too or Perch, is that all of a sudden,

1313
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 7: we get a bite and we start to bring that

1314
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 7: fish in, and then in the other hole. Many times

1315
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 7: that happened, you get another bite. So here you're you're

1316
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 7: looking at that other hole, and you missed that first hole,

1317
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 7: and then you missed the second hole. So it's always

1318
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 7: to me, one rod, one hole.

1319
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 2: Believe, if I'm trying to fish two holes, I get

1320
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 2: one rod screwed up and it's time it's tangled. And

1321
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 2: then I got then I got a mess because I

1322
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 2: get both rods that are tangled.

1323
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 3: Then I'm all done for a while.

1324
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, but that's very very true. I think there's

1325
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 7: a lot to be said about that. And then two

1326
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 7: shore fishing two rods is don't just lay one on

1327
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 7: the ice get sort of a rot order. But you

1328
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 7: know what's going to happen, don't you?

1329
01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 2: Yeah too, you don't get it. It just kind of

1330
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 2: has a at lt they take on legs all their own.

1331
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 7: That's exactly. It's amazing. Just like with a cell phone,

1332
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 7: I don't know how to tell I heard the cell

1333
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 7: phone went right into the hole.

1334
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:38,480
Speaker 2: Oh you could, terry if if you're especially in a portable,

1335
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 2: you can drop a cell phone any place in there

1336
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 2: and it's going to.

1337
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:43,240
Speaker 3: End up in the hole.

1338
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 7: That's exactly. That's on my jacket, my coat. I have

1339
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,799
Speaker 7: a pocket with a zipper, and that's where it goes.

1340
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 7: And then when I hear that somebody's trying to call,

1341
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 7: then I on zip it, get the phone out the answer.

1342
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 7: But yes, otherwise you're one hundred percent right. I don't

1343
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 7: know how many times I heard that happen, And that's

1344
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 7: something we want to try to avoid. And then you're

1345
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 7: probably not going to retrieve that.

1346
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 2: No, don't they make like a tether that for ice

1347
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 2: fishing to hold some places. I've seen them for sale, Yeah.

1348
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, definitely. And then also too, what you're talking

1349
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:26,000
Speaker 7: about this tether, Bob, is that there's a clear plastic

1350
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 7: that actually covers the phone with a tether of some

1351
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 7: sort of lanyard. And then two you can actually dial

1352
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 7: or you can answer the phone by not taking it

1353
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 7: out of that plastic, but you can just actually it

1354
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 7: soft enough where you can just you know, press the buttons.

1355
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 2: I can tell you from experienced terry that when your

1356
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 2: phone goes into the hole, don't put it in your

1357
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 2: shirt pocket or your jacket pocket on your chest, because

1358
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 2: you mean bend over the hole. The phone comes out

1359
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 2: as a tennis come out when it hits the hole.

1360
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 2: It just kind of holes back and forth until it gets.

1361
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 7: Just start fluttering down right. Yeah, our lures should be doing.

1362
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 2: That's it. There's all done in your you're subjected with

1363
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 2: having to watch the day things.

1364
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 3: How long ago did.

1365
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 7: You drinking with wigglers and spikes too? If you put

1366
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 7: them in your shirt pocket and don't button your shirt pocket,

1367
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 7: that has a tenden to phote right down the whole too.

1368
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, how long ago since you dropped a cell phone

1369
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 4: down on?

1370
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 2: It's been quite a few years. But I didn't have

1371
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 2: any phone anymore. I had to borrow my neighbors because

1372
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 2: he's the only one I had.

1373
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 3: To work.

1374
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 7: It's really it does happen. It's happened so quick. We

1375
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 7: just we I think, we get so you know, involved

1376
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 7: in trying to catch a fish, we forget about that phone,

1377
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 7: and it's so easy for it to slip.

1378
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 2: Out and even if it hits the ice terrier, it

1379
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 2: just kind of slides right over towards the phone.

1380
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:04,519
Speaker 7: Heard how many times I've heard that happen.

1381
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 2: It's disgusting. It bothered me a whole lot. Now, Terry,

1382
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 2: what time are what are the day? Are the times again?

1383
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 2: Out in medicine Lake today?

1384
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 7: It's going to be well. Actually the opening ceremony starts

1385
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 7: at twelve o'clock, but the main stage where they have

1386
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 7: all the announcements and interviewing and so for actually starts

1387
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,679
Speaker 7: at eleven thirty. But if any of the listeners want

1388
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 7: to attend, you know, be there right around noon. It

1389
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 7: is just uh, you know, there's a lot going on,

1390
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 7: and especially the preliminary or the fishing contest, and I

1391
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 7: invite everybody to attend, and they also too. That's where

1392
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:51,719
Speaker 7: they introduced a new the new recruits and Minnesota recruits

1393
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 7: for that event.

1394
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 2: And then where do they access to Lake Terry? Any

1395
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:56,599
Speaker 2: idea Well.

1396
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 7: It's going to be right at the East Medicine Lake Park.

Speaker 4: Yeah, you start getting the turkey I do, and I

1510
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 4: turkey hunting is one of my favorite things to do

1511
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 4: in the small spring, and it's about the only thing

1512
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:40,560
Speaker 4: that is hunting going on.

1513
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:45,600
Speaker 2: It's snow goose hunting. But I really love the whole activity.

1514
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:49,200
Speaker 2: I love the excitement. I love the sound of the gobble.

1515
01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:51,639
Speaker 2: I don't especially care to have to carry him back

1516
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 2: and tagged out. Oh come on, you like your carry No,

1517
01:24:57,280 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 2: I don't, but it's you know, it's all part of

1518
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:02,679
Speaker 2: the game.

1519
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 3: And when they come.

1520
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 4: In, Oh my, should we go out west? You know

1521
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:10,639
Speaker 4: a planet truly go to the Black Hills. We'll make

1522
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:14,320
Speaker 4: an event in Nebraska. I might have you hunted Miriams before.

1523
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 2: No, No, is that the spot in stock that you

1524
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 2: keep talking about Nebraska?

1525
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, you go down to drainage and try to cut

1526
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:25,600
Speaker 4: them off at the pass. It's a little bit. It

1527
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:31,080
Speaker 4: fits my style. And just sitting and waiting. No, I

1528
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 4: think I'm gonna.

1529
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:33,320
Speaker 3: Stay here first, and we'll see.

1530
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,160
Speaker 2: I'm kind of a sit and wait for a while,

1531
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 2: get up and move, and sit and wait for a while,

1532
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 2: get up and move and then they really what I

1533
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 2: really like to do. My favorite thing is to get

1534
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 2: to an area I know there's birds. Get there, yeah,

1535
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:55,360
Speaker 2: sometimes fairly early, sometimes not, but listen for the gobbling,

1536
01:25:56,200 --> 01:26:00,519
Speaker 2: and then that's the direction I'm going and get out

1537
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 2: and you don't need to get real close. But when

1538
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 2: they come fly down, then if you get their attention,

1539
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 2: and even if they don't pay any attention to you

1540
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 2: first thing, you know there's a good chance they're going

1541
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 2: to come in later. And that's usually what I rely

1542
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 2: on because I often don't get up real early, sleep in.

1543
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 2: I have the best of intentions the night before, my

1544
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 2: arm goes off, and they just kind of roll over

1545
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 2: and say, yeah, they'll be there when I get there.

1546
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,040
Speaker 2: That's what happened last year, and Eric had already tagged

1547
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:36,879
Speaker 2: out and often to come along, left his gun behind,

1548
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 2: and we went out there.

1549
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 4: And over the last ten years, you've probably shot more

1550
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 4: turkeys at ten am than at other any other time.

1551
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 3: Yes, yes I have, and I've shot.

1552
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 2: I'm looking back and I guess some amounts that I've

1553
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 2: done with the wings and the tail and putting them

1554
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 2: all together, and I have five or six of those.

1555
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 2: But I'll shot a bunch of turkeys and it's it's

1556
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 2: been really, really fun. I've had I've had to do

1557
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 2: strange things show up. I least expected have some walk

1558
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 2: by or blow out a gobble and it's six feet

1559
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 2: away from me, roll me off. I've had them walk

1560
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:22,240
Speaker 2: right over my feet, Tom walk by, and I remember

1561
01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 2: vividly them saying, don't blink because they can see you.

1562
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 2: Don't blink. I'm holding my breath. And yeah, it's it's

1563
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 2: been really really cool.

1564
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:34,599
Speaker 3: Pretty mild winter for turkeys too, yeah, I think.

1565
01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 2: And they're bunched up when they're bunched up, and then

1566
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:40,519
Speaker 2: by bunch up by sex. And I'm hoping that there's

1567
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:42,639
Speaker 2: going to be some around the cabin this year, because

1568
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 2: we've raised out there three different roots, and I've seen

1569
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:49,599
Speaker 2: a number of them around there, so it'd be kind

1570
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 2: of fun.

1571
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 4: I saw two great, big white tail bucks this week,

1572
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 4: and I thought that was sort of odd that they're

1573
01:27:57,960 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 4: still holding on to their antlers.

1574
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 2: I think some of the antlers depend on food.

1575
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:06,360
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I don't don't.

1576
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 4: I was gonna I was gonna get Stan going this morning,

1577
01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:12,639
Speaker 4: you know, ask them about winds when the white tails

1578
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 4: have dropped their horns. But we'll have to save that

1579
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 4: for when he's not in Yellowstone. Yes, but I thought,

1580
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 4: you know, geez, it was yesterday, February sixth, and there's

1581
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 4: still hold them onto their ante.

1582
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:26,720
Speaker 3: Then of course I will chime in with the seagulls.

1583
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:29,799
Speaker 3: There we go. We'll get Stan going next time.

1584
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,720
Speaker 2: We have to go. The music says that that it's

1585
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 2: our time to turn it over to Tucker and Sinecon

1586
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:39,120
