1
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: From Media Doors World News Headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This

2
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: is Kel's we Can review with Ryan kel Kell in

3
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: now Here's kel good news. If you like to gamble

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: and live in the state of Missouri Missouri, which apparently

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: got its name from the Missouri Indians. The translation apparently

6
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: means canoe have her a lot of water in the

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: state of Missouri. Additionally, the show me state has had

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 1: an increasing number of elk to be fair, increasing from

9
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: zero prior to two thousand eleven, but it is set

10
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: to have its first elk hunt this fall. Since the

11
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: mid eighties, that's a hundred and forty years. So when

12
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: I say if you like to gamble through your hat

13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: in the ring and gamble on an elk tag, I

14
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: have to jump back real quick and let you know

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: how possibly the state of Missouri got its name the

16
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: show me state. Please write in if you have a

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: better version. What I could find is Willard Duncan van Derver,

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: a Missouri congressman, said in an apparently well documented way quote,

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: I come from a state that raises corn and cotton

20
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: and cockle burrs and democrats and frothy eloquence. Neither convinces

21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: or satisfies me. I am from Missouri. You've got to

22
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: show me another state motto that flies right straight in

23
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: the face of frothy elegance is and this is according

24
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: to net state dot com, which I won't hang my

25
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: hat on. Missouri was known at one point as the

26
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: Puke State, this referring to a large crowd of Missourians

27
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: that had gathered at the Galena lead mines in eight

28
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: So many Missourians had assembled that those already there declared

29
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: the state of Missouri had taken a puke. Missouri is

30
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: in the lead belt. Just so you know. Now, back

31
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: to elk. In two thousand eleven, Missouri transplanted elk from

32
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: Kentucky to Peck Ranch Conservation Area. More elk we're added

33
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: in two thousand ten and two thousand thirteen, totaling a

34
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: hundred and eight animals moving across three counties in south

35
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: central Missouri. The state is looking for an eventual goal

36
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: of a herd size in the four hundred five hundred

37
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: elk range. The first elk season will be a nine

38
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: day ur tree season from October seventeen through then a

39
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: second nine day firearms season from December twelve through twenty

40
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: season dates were picked to avoid general deer season and

41
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: elk breeding season. A ten dollar application fee will get

42
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: your name in the half. If successful, the first elk

43
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: hunt in Missouri and over a hundred and forty years

44
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: will cost you fifty bucks. The application period is the

45
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: entire month of May, and there are five bowl elk

46
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: tags to be had. Congrats to all the folks involved

47
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: in bringing those elk back to Missouri. This week we've

48
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: got skinks, the crime beat, and the long overdue stop

49
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: at the anthropology desk. But first I'm gonna tell you

50
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: about my week. I'm getting geared up to hopefully go

51
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: spank Tom turkey or two. If you want to talk

52
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: conservation in regards to animals, turkeys are an example that

53
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: are tough to beat, especially if you look here. In

54
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: my home state of Montana, we had essentially zero turkeys

55
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: in the state when I was growing up. About high school.

56
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: You could apply for a handful of turkey tags in

57
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: one region of the state, eventually another region, and now,

58
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: if you really wanted to get after it, between spring

59
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: and fall seasons, you can kill two Tom's and four

60
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: beardless turkeys in one year in one region of the state.

61
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: Check your eggs. I'm being only slightly vague, but regardless,

62
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: it's a really neat thing to see. Additionally, if you

63
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: take these birds and break them down properly, you can

64
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: get an incredible amount of food from a seventeen to

65
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: twenty or pound sack of feathers meals that can be

66
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: surprisingly diverse. Classic brine and smoked turkey breast makes for

67
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: a pile of incredible sandwich meat. The wings and legs

68
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: can be slow cooked and shredded for tacos, Pasta's barbecue sandwiches,

69
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: and the carcass right down to the toenails can be

70
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: slowly simmered and strained in the turkey stock that will

71
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: be like nothing you can purchase at the store. On

72
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: top of all this, turkey hunting is known for being

73
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: a pursuit filled with brutally early mornings. Often I'm trying

74
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: to get into a spot that lacks any underbrush and

75
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,119
Speaker 1: cover that necessitates having true darkness to provide the cover

76
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: needed to not tip off the turkeys on their roost.

77
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: Then I sit for an hour or more praying for

78
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: some not so much for that hot turkey action it

79
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: might bring, but to thaw me out and heat me up.

80
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: Turkey mornings can be deceptively cold. The advantage of this,

81
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: if I'm being honest, is the excuse of being in

82
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: the woods as they wake up. Sitting in the dark

83
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: before the sun even makes it its approach, makes you

84
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: aware of the way all the little things nut hatches

85
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: and mice start their mornings, coyotes, foxes, porcupines, and raccoons

86
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: looking sheepish for being caught in the first haze of light.

87
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: It is a magic way to start the spring. We

88
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: don't need to mention the ticks. Turkeys are strange. They're

89
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: full of charisma. I had spoke with the ranch owner

90
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: here earlier this year, looking for some turkey permission, and

91
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: she told me that the turkeys only started showing up

92
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: about three years ago. Now they are so aggressive that

93
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: they attempt to run off her newborn calves. In turn,

94
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: her cows have gotten so aggressive that the once peaceful

95
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: critters rolled both her four wheeler and her nephew the

96
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: other week. Suffice it to say she's not a huge

97
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: fan of turkeys right at this moment. Calving season can

98
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: be a long one in Montana. On top of the charisma,

99
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: turkey's heads turn color, their snood shrivels, and elongates. When

100
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: someone talks about birds is living dinosaurs. It is hard

101
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: not to think of the turkey. Once you see one

102
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: in the woods around a creek bottom, really doing their thing.

103
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: It's an impossible notion to get rid of. Once the

104
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: seed has been planted, they'll eat mice, frogs, snakes, crayfish,

105
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: dandelion heads, and rocks to fill their gizzard. According to

106
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: Dr Alan Cruickshanks, a turkey gizzard can produce a force

107
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: equivalent to four hundred and thirty seven pounds per square inch,

108
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: enough to easily flatten lead shot and crush a whole walnut.

109
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: The walls of the gizzard are made from a carbohydrate

110
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: protein called coilon and are so tough that steel needles

111
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: will bend in the gizzard without penetrating it. Turkey gobbles

112
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: are just like how everyone says they are thunderous, a

113
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: comically loud noise out in the sagebrush and juniper. Even

114
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: though I'm approaching the age of having spent more of

115
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: my life in Montana with turkeys than without, that gobble

116
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: still makes me laugh. To me, it is as comically

117
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: out of place as it is loud. My first turkey

118
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: adventure here in the state will be over to a

119
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: big private ranch I have access to only for turkeys.

120
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: I always throw my steel chainsaw on the pick up

121
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: so I can take care of any problem trees and

122
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: clear any of the ranch roads as a thank you.

123
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: I like the electric saws for this, as I'll be

124
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: sleeping in the truck and I find that no matter

125
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: how careful you are, those gas fumes kind of penetrate everything.

126
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: Who wants to sleep with that? Moving on to the

127
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: Australia desk. Recently, in New South Wales, a three toad

128
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: skink was observed giving birth to live young and eggs,

129
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: simultaneously being viviparis and over Paris and really indecisive. This

130
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: observed birth brings up the thought that we may be

131
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: witnessing evolution right up front and very personal to Mama

132
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: skink it least. The three toad skink was first described

133
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: by a British zoologist in eight So this is an

134
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: update to a long recorded story and trust me, we'll

135
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: stick with this one all the way through. Go no

136
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: further than Cal's weekend review for hard hitting up to

137
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: date updates on this possible transition from egg layer to

138
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: live burther. We all may just not be around to

139
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: hear how it ends up. Doing my research on skinks,

140
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: one thing is immediately clear. People are absolutely fascinated by

141
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: skink reproduction and not much else. Although the three toad

142
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: yellow bellied skink average is only about seven inches long,

143
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: the critter has the charisma of let's say, a solid

144
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: fifteen It looks kind of like a snake, slight smile

145
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: on its face, arms and legs way too small for

146
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: its length and girth. The limbs are tiny enough to

147
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: appear almost vestigial looking, or maybe like the skink got

148
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: a great deal on some aftermarket parts. The skink does

149
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: a great job of eating insects, and it's not an

150
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: up in your face creature, as it's primarily nocturnal. So

151
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: what gives? What gives is the fascination with what the

152
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: skink gives birth to is kinda in all of us.

153
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: What came first, the chicken or the egg. The advantage

154
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: to egg laying is the female can deposit eggs and

155
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: be rid of the energy it would cost her to

156
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: nurture young inside the body. The benefit of carrying young

157
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: to the point of full gestation is you don't leave

158
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: the kids up to the whims of nature, only protected

159
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: by a thin shell. The young are more taxing on mom,

160
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: but they are more protected by going where she goes.

161
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: Three toed skink populations in moist coastal areas that are

162
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: possibly more full of food and less full of danger

163
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: lay eggs over Paris. The skinks and mountainous regions that

164
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: are a little rougher going carry their young to full

165
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: gestation and give birth to live young viviparis. To continue

166
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: to reason away the y eggs or why not, nutrition

167
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: is a factor. As just kind of stated, the female

168
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: skink must continually provide the nourishment needed for her offspring

169
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: from egg fertilization until birth. If she is a live

170
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: birth giver, the egg laying skink must make sure she

171
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: has the nutrients from the time of fertilization through egg

172
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: development until she can deposit the eggs and move on.

173
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: The food and nutrients that live young would take directly

174
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: from the female. The embryos in the eggs take from

175
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: what is in the egg, the yolk and the shell

176
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: itself in the form of calcium. However, skinks seem to

177
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: have this system down as well. Some skinks that lay

178
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: eggs drop super thin shells, encasing nearly completely formed embryos

179
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: that mature in less than five days, others under fifteen days,

180
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: and none longer than thirty, suggesting that these skinks may

181
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: be targeting the happy medium of protecting offspring and reducing

182
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: stress on mom. All fascinating stuff as we continually try

183
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: to answer what came first and how the skink or

184
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: the egg? But what if it's a really really thin

185
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: egg that is transparent and the embryo within is fully formed?

186
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: WHOA Moving on to the ever popular law enforcement desk,

187
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Atlantic City. To be exact, if you listen

188
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: to Springsteen, all I have to say is Atlantic City

189
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: to set up that something illegal happened, and of course

190
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: it did. Two outlaw anglers were caught in March thirty

191
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: with sixty six undersized Atlantic stripe bass in their possession.

192
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: At the time of the crime. Lawful anglers were allowed

193
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: one fish between twenty eight inches and forty three inches

194
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: in length this is known as a slot limit, and

195
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: one additional fish over forty three in all, sixty six

196
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: of the illegal catch measured between thirteen and twenty four inches.

197
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: This selfishness is terrible under any circumstance. But this year

198
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: a highly publicized reduction and harvest rates went into effect

199
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: after a recent stock assessment determined that Atlantic stripe bass

200
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: were being overfished and for the good of the fishery

201
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: and eighteen percent harvest reduction would need to be implemented.

202
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: As of April one, the regulations changed to one fish

203
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: per person per day, and that fish has to be

204
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: between twenty eight and thirty eight inches in length, a

205
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: slightly narrower slop, meaning that an angler can likely do

206
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: a lot more fishing and catching without getting a fish

207
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: between the twenty eight and thirty eight inch mark to

208
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: take home. Being as I have never fished for a striper,

209
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: thought it best to go to as near a local

210
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: source as possible. Meat eaters own Joe Sirmellie. Joe says,

211
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: it's depressing enough not to be out striper fishing right

212
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: now on a boat with my law abiding buddies, So

213
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: to see these poachers get caught with such a huge

214
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: amount of undersized fish feels like an incredible punch. Given

215
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: the present situation, I'd be happy to catch one salty

216
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: striper right now, just for a morale boost. I give

217
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: a Mountain of credit to the New Jersey Conservation Police

218
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: on this bus though. Not only are they still out

219
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: there doing their jobs in the middle of a pandemic,

220
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: but it sounds like they worked for this one. To

221
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: track a small boat that's zipping around at high speed

222
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: in the dark with no running lights to a private

223
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: dock takes effort and dedication. I hope anyone else that

224
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: thinks that they can bend the rules because fewer people

225
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: are looking during the pandemic take notice. Thank you, Joe,

226
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: And yes, that is how these poaching sons and guns

227
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: were initially found out. They were operating their boat at

228
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: night without running lights, moving from known fishing spot to

229
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: known fishing spot. Officers use their knowledge of the area

230
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: to hone in on their private dock. Max fine for

231
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: an undersized striper can be one hundred bucks. The fishing

232
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: violations add up to twelve thousand, eight hundred dollars per angler. Additionally,

233
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: they were cited for unsafe operation of a vessel, operating

234
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: a power vessel without valid registration, and failing to have

235
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: appropriate vessel safety gear. Fishing gear was also seized for evidence,

236
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: and the conservation police officers will seek forfeiture due to

237
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: the severity of the violations, the seized fish were released

238
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: to the Atlantic City Rescue Mission. According to the New

239
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: Jersey Division of Fishing Wildlife released to the Atlantic City

240
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: Rescue Mission. That's funny. Breaking law is not, especially when

241
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: it involves taking from a resource that is hurting. Next up,

242
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: Houghton County, Michigan resident defended his home with a chainsaw

243
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: when two persons, one of which carrying a weapon, invaded

244
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: his home. Yes, to those of you who sent me

245
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: the story, I would like to thank this man defended

246
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: himself and his home with not just any saw, but

247
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: a dependable steel chainsaw, perhaps the MS three six two C,

248
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: a classic gas powered brew with a modern computer that

249
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: fine tunes and calibrates that saw so you don't have

250
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: to that' saw will run smooth and sound beautiful, whether

251
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: you were staring down a season's worth of firewood lanks

252
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: or a couple of drugged up home invaders in your garage.

253
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: That's a hot tip for you. Lastly, from the law

254
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: enforcement desk, Dave Spain wrote in and tipped me off

255
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: to this quote. Good pinch by the Wildlife Wardens. In Oklahoma,

256
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: a landowner heard two gunshots from what he thought was

257
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: his property. When he got to the location, it was

258
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: indeed on his place. He found a pick up speeding away,

259
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: which he got a picture of, as well as turkey feathers,

260
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: blood and shotgun casings. The local warden was alerted, evidence

261
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: collected and the vehicle from the landowner cell phone picture

262
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: turned in. A suspect and suspect vehicle were found and

263
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: called in the next day. When the suspect was contacted,

264
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: he was told to turn himself in. This next part

265
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: is directly from the Oklahoma fishing game and I find

266
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: it good stuff. After several minutes without a phone call

267
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: from the suspect, Warden Blackburn was contacted by Roger Mills

268
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: County Deputy Joey Bales regarding the suspect vehicle driving in Cheyenne, Oklahoma.

269
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: Warden Blackburn was in Cheyenne at the time and hurried

270
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: to his patrol truck to catch up to the suspect.

271
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: As he ran to his truck, the suspect vehicle drove

272
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: past him. Warren Blackburn was attempting to catch up to

273
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: the suspect vehicle when a cell phone rang and he

274
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: noticed the number was from a non resident caller, Warren

275
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: Blackburn realized it was the suspect, and he instructed the

276
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: caller to pull over, which he did. Warden Blackburn's subsequent

277
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: investigation uncovered more than twenty six separate violations among the

278
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: four men in the suspect vehicle. Warren Blackburn was assisted

279
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: by Deputy Bales and Oklahoma Game Warden Clinton Carpenter in

280
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: the investigation and sorting through all the evidence, including parts

281
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: of nine turn keys. The alleged violations included the following

282
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: hunting without landowner consent, hunting with the aid of a

283
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: motorized land conveyance as in a vehicle, shooting from a

284
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: public roadway, unlawful possession of wildlife not lawfully taken, removal

285
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: of evidence of sex prior to check in, failure to

286
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 1: check in wildlife prior to processing. All four suspects were

287
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: cited for a total of twenty six violations totaling twelve thousand,

288
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: fourteen dollars and fines and court costs, and all evidence

289
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: was seized. That's uh an expensive Turkey trip for the record.

290
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: Swift action there in Oklahoma game wardens never sleep. One

291
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: more fun thing I would like to point out is

292
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: that instead of just saying turkey poachers caught. On the

293
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: news release, it states nonresident turkey poachers. Now it doesn't

294
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: matter if you are, let's say, a fly angler who

295
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: typically looks down on bait fisherman or vice versa. When

296
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: the subject of non residents comes up, those two anglers

297
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: will be on the same side. They have common ground

298
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: and pushing their great doujure toward non residents. Here in Montana,

299
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: for instance, growing up, we always complained to high hell

300
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: about Washington and California license plates in the state during

301
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: the good times of hunting and fishing. Who knew it

302
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: would take COVID nineteen to finally add any validity to

303
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: those remarks. Jumping over to the anthropology desk in what

304
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: is becoming no big surprise, Neanderthals were not stupid. We

305
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: just can't come to terms with that. In a recent

306
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: article published in Ancient Origins, a team of researchers working

307
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: with the University of gotten Gen established the reliance on

308
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: seafood such as muscles, crabs, and fish for some Neanderthals.

309
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: They even ate marine mammals like dolphins and seals. What

310
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: this team tries to establish is the link between all

311
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: the vitamins and minerals stored in seafood, giving Neanderthals a

312
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 1: brain boost. For example, only three ounces of scalop provides

313
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: eighteen percent of the recommended daily dose of vitamin B

314
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: twelve and zinc, as well as three hundred milligrams of

315
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: omega three fatty acids. So you know, because of that

316
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: ingestion of seafood, Neanderthals were able to draw and paint

317
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: on cave walls, as well as make ornaments and things

318
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: not directly related to survival, which if you think about

319
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: your own family tree, or maybe into your friend group,

320
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: do you maybe know some folks that really just eat

321
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: meat and potatoes every day? I do? Those people seem

322
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: just as artistic and no more solely focused on survival

323
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: as do my friends living on the coast annoyingly sending

324
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: me pictures of piles of freshly consumed muscles and crab remains.

325
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: We just have this inability to see Neanderthals as anything

326
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: other than less than to Homo sapien. We used to

327
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: think that Neanderthals could not have hunted, they just scavenged.

328
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: Turns out they likely organized and killed elephants as wooly mammoth.

329
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: We used to think neanderthal and capable of complex thought.

330
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: We just recently discovered what is likely the remains of

331
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: woven cordage, which oddly enough goes really well with some

332
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: stone tools that just would not have worked out well

333
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: without rope. But Neanderthals were not smart enough to make cordage.

334
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: That ability is reserved for Homo sapiens. One of the

335
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: oddest things to think about is we assume such little

336
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: cognitive ability to the Neanderthal now in modern times, but

337
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: we all know of what our ancestors thought of them,

338
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 1: because our ancestors occasionally bred with them. Just look at

339
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan. Another compelling argument for the brain power of

340
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: a Neanderthal is how much time we spend talking about

341
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: how darn smart dolphins are. If dolphins were that smart,

342
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: how did neanderthal's edom. As Stephen Ronnella puts it, eventually

343
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: we're going to find something truly remarkable and modern related

344
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: to the Anderthal. The discovery will be shocking, yet characteristically downplayed,

345
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: something like what's that, Oh, that's a bicycle made by

346
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: a Neanderthal. It's not very good. You know, they have

347
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: slope brows, right, Modern studies associated with vitamin B twelve

348
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: intake during pregnancy show that children produced with high levels

349
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: of B twelve think a bit faster, up to twenty

350
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: seconds faster in some studies, which this paper points out

351
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: if placed historically, a twenty second delay and in a

352
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: life and death situation would be death. Stupid Neanderthals. Makes

353
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: you wonder how the modern cognitive study was conducted. I'm

354
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: sure the subjects didn't have a mammoth foot above their heads.

355
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: That's all I've got for you this week. Thanks again

356
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: for listening. If you're liking what you're hearing, please tell

357
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: a friend or two. You can always leave me the

358
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: review by hitting that furthest right hand star, and as

359
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: per usual, one most important, tell me what I'm missing,

360
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: what I'm getting right, and what I'm messing up by

361
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: writing in to a s k c a L. That's

362
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: asked Cal at the Meat Theater dot com. I'll talk

363
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: to you next week.
