1
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: From Mediators World News headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is

2
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: Kel's We Can Review with Ryan Kel, Kelly and now

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: Here's Kel. Hit by an Angel the new spinoff reality

4
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: show out of Hay River, Northwest Territories. This one features

5
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: a man hitting a grizzly bear with a stone angel

6
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: statue while it attacks a young woman. Hopefully, Hit by

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: an Angel will be limited to just the one episode,

8
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: as its precursor, Hit by a Boot didn't work out

9
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: very well. According to Northwest Territories News, North Roy Helmer

10
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: was awoken early in the a m. On October by

11
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: his common law partner Shelly Wood, who had been up

12
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: late knitting. Her knitting was interrupted by the ocean of

13
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: an ongoing bear attack happening in front of the steps

14
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: of their home. Shelly reportedly hit the bear repeatedly with

15
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: a boot. Way to go, Shelly, Unfortunately the boot had

16
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: no effect, which is when she went back into the

17
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: couple's home to wake up Roy, who is apparently a

18
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: deep sleeper. Roy, not to be outdone by Shelley, also

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: ran directly to the bear and the screaming woman. As

20
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: reported by n N s N. Roy is quoted so

21
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: I ran down. I was just in my shorts. I

22
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: threw a boot and that didn't do a damn thing.

23
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: He just kept on going. I'm gonna pause here and

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: wonder did Roy grab the mate to Shelley's boot or

25
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: did he go with perhaps a larger caliber of boot. Anyway,

26
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: Roy said, so, I come back up the steps and

27
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: I have some cement statues, and I grabbed the cement

28
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: statue and I run over there and I nailed it

29
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: with that. I just threw it as hard as I could.

30
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: Now that the bear had been hit by an angel,

31
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: it paused as mauling long enough to give Roy the

32
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to drag the young woman, the bear's victim, up

33
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: his steps and into their home to safety. The young

34
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: woman was prepped by local first responders and flown to

35
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Edmonton for further treatment. Her condition was described as serious.

36
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: For reference, hay River, Northwest Territories, is located a long

37
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: way from major medical services. Aside from that, it would

38
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: take you almost seven hours of driving and two ferry

39
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: crossings to get from hay River to the nearest McDonald's,

40
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: which is located in yellow Knife. If you know, you

41
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: consider McDonald's a marker of civilization. The trip to Edmonton,

42
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: which is where the young woman was flown, is about

43
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: a two hour flight south. Although the Hay River region

44
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: has been in use by First Nations people for over

45
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: seven thousand years, it wasn't connected by any type of

46
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: road to southern Canada until night. Hey River authorities warned

47
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: residents to be vigilant for bears, as they did kill

48
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: a bear near the scene of the attack, but they

49
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: are as of now anyway unsure if it was the

50
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: same bear. You know, because there's a lot of bears

51
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood. As we move closer to winter, food

52
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: sources start to dwindle. The bears that are not hibernating

53
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: already are in need of additional calories in order to

54
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: survive the winter, a condition known as hyper fagia, an

55
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: intense hunger, can cause incidents like this one. There have

56
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: only been nine reported bear attacks in the Northwest Territories

57
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: in the last twenty years. Out of those reported attacks,

58
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: four have been fatal five non. Important to note that, then,

59
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: nw T is a gigantic swath of land and the

60
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: number of bear attacks versus reported bear attacks may be

61
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: quite different, and according to most sources, as a and

62
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: every source other than this particular story. Bear spray is

63
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: going to be your best bet in a situation where

64
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: uh eighteen inch some an angel statue isn't handy. This

65
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: week we've got the crime desk, mean fork, a horns,

66
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: furry caterpillars, and so much more. But first I'm gonna

67
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: tell you about my week, and as you know, my

68
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: week and this podcast is brought to you by the

69
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: good folks at Steel Power Equipment, steel makers of the

70
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: world's finest chainsaws. This weekend was blowing cold snow and

71
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: chainsaw was not used, but I did use a set

72
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: of steel pruning shears to remove a few legs and

73
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: wings from snort. The little yellow labs first pheasants pretty awesome, dang,

74
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you this just about pheasant. Tall five

75
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: and a half month old, thirty nine pound female lab

76
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: did a very impressive up. Admittedly, it took her a

77
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: while to really work the cover. She didn't just dive

78
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: into the thick stuff. She had to be kind of

79
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: inspired to it. You could say she caught the scent

80
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: of a few hen pheasants on the edges of the cover.

81
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: She showed her excitement through body language we always referred

82
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: to as getting birdie, as in, you know, she goes

83
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: from excited to really excited, from curious to determine. The

84
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: scent would then end at a bird, and as it

85
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: flew away with no shooting, she would walk a tight

86
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: circle and get back. At about halfway through all the

87
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: pheasant cover, we jumped our first rooster and got our

88
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: first retrieve. The bird flushed a little wild, but offered

89
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: a good shot after a little bit more direction than

90
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: you would, you know, typically be given. A veteran hunting

91
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: dog snort had the bird. Then after that she hunted

92
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: harder and started working the cover harder. The birds responded

93
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: to this by running faster and to my dismay, flying

94
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 1: way out ahead of shooting range. Some of the birds

95
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: even flew onto the adjacent property for which we had

96
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: no permission. This is pheasant hunting and nothing new. But

97
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: repetition is so important for the learning of a puppy

98
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: that I gotta tell you my heart just ached a

99
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: little bit with each bird that flew that fence. The

100
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: one bird would have been a win, but if we

101
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: could get a couple more opportunities, at least that extra

102
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: bit of repetition that very same day, the same outing

103
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: would leave that much more of an imprint on Snort.

104
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: So we transitioned our tactic to a very common one

105
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: of posting one hunter as a blocker, and Snort and

106
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: I would be the drivers or flushers. At this point,

107
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: we had only about a third of the cover left

108
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: to hunt, roughly two quarter mile walks. Let's say. The

109
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: hope with this strategy is that the birds that are

110
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: running well out in front of the dog and gun

111
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: will feel the presence of the blocker and stop or

112
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: keg up, as we like to say, instead of continuing

113
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,119
Speaker 1: to vacate the county. The flusher gets within responsible range

114
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: of the blocker and both parties get shot opportunities as

115
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: the dog flushes birds or the birds just get nervous

116
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: and fly on their own. That's the ideal scenario. We

117
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: worked the first patch of cover down to the blocker,

118
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: and although birds flushed, no shots were made. With the

119
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: exceptional one rooster that double backed and flushed directly in

120
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: front of me, and of course I missed. I was

121
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: behind him on the second shot, just like I was

122
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: on the first shot, and you could say it was

123
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: a gimme type of scenario. I gotta tell you, nothing

124
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: feels worse than missing over a puppy. The second patch

125
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: of cover, the birds, now educated to our presence, held

126
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: very tight. But Snort broke out her previously undiscovered a game,

127
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: and just like she's been doing on songbirds like western

128
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: meadow larks and black cap chicken ease, she had her

129
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: nose on a lot of pheasant butts. It was really

130
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: something to see, really really cool. She made a couple

131
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: of great retrieves and even hunted down and retrieved a

132
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: crippled bird in thick cover in what I would call

133
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: a veteran's pace. That old ditch chicken is shockingly white

134
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: meat in my fridge A couple in the Brian for

135
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: slow roasting. I gotta tell you, I used to hate

136
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: cooking pheasants because I didn't have the patients to treat

137
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: them right. I consistently dried them out. Now, however, it

138
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: is a real treat. I typically just do a water

139
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: and salt brine, let him relax for a full twenty

140
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: four ideally forty eight to seventy two hours. The birds

141
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: that aren't fully plucked, I make a very nice pacata

142
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: out of them, and it is better than any and

143
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: chicken you're gonna buy can't wait until next weekend. Moving

144
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: on to the how do it work? Desk, the pus

145
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: moth caterpillar has been showing up out of its normal

146
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: range and educating the residents of eastern Virginia. The puss

147
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: moth caterpillar is possibly North America's most toxic caterpillar, and

148
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: its sting, which comes from toxic filled spines inside the

149
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: tiny hairs that cover the caterpillar, is not pleasant. And

150
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: when I say the hairs cover the caterpillar, I do

151
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: mean from end to end and thick. In fact, one

152
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: article described the pus moth as the quote toxic to

153
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: pay and just like the two pays misguided humans wear

154
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: to cover their bald spots. You don't want to touch

155
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: this either. Sure, you may stare longer than you feel

156
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: as appropriate, trying to make sure you've actually seen what

157
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: you know you have seen. But what would cause someone

158
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: to reach out and pet this is a mystery? How

159
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: do it work? Water? Fire, air and dirt magnus? How

160
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: did they work? Anyway? According to the MRK Manual, the

161
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: trusted provider of medical information since eighteen and venomation causes

162
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: intense throbbing pain, burning, and a rash with arithmatics spots

163
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: which are itchy or painful, paink to red and commonly circular.

164
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: More susceptible patients can experience swelling, nausea, abdominal pain, headache, lymphidenopathy,

165
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: the sudden swelling of the lymph nodes, lymphidentitists, shock, and

166
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: respiratory distress. Wound pain usually subsides within an hour, and

167
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: the arithmatics spots disappear in a day. If for whatever reason,

168
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: you reach out and touch the to pay, it would

169
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: be a good idea to take tape and repeatedly stick

170
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: it over the contact area to remove any hairs that

171
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: you missed. The pus moth caterpillar produces two rounds of offspring,

172
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: one in the spring and one in the fall. They're

173
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: primarily found in the southeastern US. These encounters in Virginia

174
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: are way out of the ordinary, and likely so are

175
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: the people who voluntarily touched these things. Suffice it to say,

176
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: if you pet the two pay what in who will?

177
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: They say? You'll pay, but only for a day. Moving

178
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: on to the North Dakota desk. You know North Dakota,

179
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: that state that is between Montana and Minnesota, and that's

180
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: likely where the Montanas will move now that this state

181
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: is nearing big city COVID refugee capacity. North Dakota holds

182
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: Guinness records for honey production, French fry, and pancake fees,

183
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: as well as sim sultaneous snow angel making. And if

184
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: you're a fan of the classic Coen Brothers movie Fargo,

185
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 1: the wood chipper the big fellow was putting the little

186
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: fella into at the end. That same wood chipper is

187
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: on display at the Fargo Moorhead Visitor Center. You bet you?

188
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah. Another fun fact about Fargo. Marge, the

189
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: central heroine and police officer played by Francis McDorman. Her

190
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: husband Norm Gunderson played by John Carroll Lynch, was working

191
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: on a duck painting submission for a stamp in the movie.

192
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: Not the federal duck stamp, but a three cent stamp,

193
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: don't you know? Yeah? Is that useful to you? Oh? Yeah,

194
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: bet you? Yeah? Yeah. Anyway, North Dakota is also a

195
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: great state to hunt in typically this year, in a

196
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: move I have never in memory seen, North Dakota Game

197
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: and Fish is offering refunds to nine thousand tagholders due

198
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: to an outbreak of epizoodic hamorrhagic disease or e h D.

199
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: North Dakota Game and Fish is asking tag holders to

200
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: inquire as to deer die offs and numbers in the

201
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: areas they intend to hunt before taking the refund, as

202
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: deer numbers in certain areas are unaffected and would benefit

203
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: from hunter harvest. E h D is caused by outbreaks

204
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: of the Kuloquitus midge and that amongst the biting gnats

205
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: that are commonly referred to as a no sum Wet

206
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: springs that leave large still bodies of water into the

207
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: typically dry months create prime breeding grounds for the midge,

208
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: and they will continue to breed until freezing temperatures arrive.

209
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: The biting midge will pick up the e h D

210
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: virus through an infected host, then transmit that virus to

211
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: the deer by biting it. White tail deer are the

212
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: most susceptible to e h D, although antelope and mule

213
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: deer can be affected as well. White tail are more

214
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: susceptible do primarily two habitat preference. Antalopen mule deer are

215
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 1: you know less known to hang out in midge territory

216
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: According to Cornell University, the symptoms associated with the h

217
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: D are fever. The virus damages the endothelium or the

218
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: lighting of the blood vessels, causing small hemorrhages over the body.

219
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Hemorrhage of the heart and lungs can result in respiratory distress.

220
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: There may be dental pad erosion or tongue ulcers, as

221
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: well as bloody discharge from the nasal cavity. Ulcers of

222
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: the stomach. Rumin and omass um may also be present.

223
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: E h D and BT or blue tongue are commonly

224
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: confused for each other. Blue tongue or BT is the

225
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: rarer of the two. However, the symptoms for blue tongue

226
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: are a bit nastier than e h D. It can

227
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: affect domestic livestock. Sheep are the most susceptible. According to

228
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: Purdue University, both e h D and blue tongue resulting

229
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: dead deer and dead deer fast heading into the Bismarck Tribune.

230
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: The last time this happened was in two thousand eleven.

231
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: North Dakota game Fish offered refunds to thirteen thousand deer hunters.

232
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: Only about three hundred hunters took the refund. I have

233
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: two personal experiences with the h D. One I got

234
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: permission to hunt a property for pheasants not too far

235
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: outside a Red Lodge, Montana, and while walking a fence line,

236
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: I got no pheasants, but I did hang up at

237
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: least a dozen white tail bucks on that fence, all

238
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: dead from e h D. I was told. A few

239
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: years later, I had a mule deer tag and was

240
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: hunting a bachelor group of bucks in eastern Montana. This

241
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: was the first week of archery season. There were eight

242
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: bucks in the group, and I watched all eight of

243
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: those bucks die and not by my arrow, but by

244
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: e h D over the course of that week. It

245
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: is nasty stuff to be around. I find this article

246
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: interesting as it highlights an interesting kind of game management tactic.

247
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: If you think about it, North Dakota Game and Fish

248
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: isn't closing the deer season or closing deer hunting in

249
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: the units affected by e h D. They are only

250
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: offering hunters the choice of voluntarily surrendering your deer tag

251
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: in exchange for your cash back. Chances are the zone

252
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: that you're wanting to hunt isn't going to be that great,

253
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: and the deer can use a break, so let's give

254
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: you your cash back. It is likely as not that

255
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: the random draw of having a high mortality disease outbreak

256
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: has consumed a large portion of the hunter harvest, So

257
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: let's remove the hunters, but let's still give the hunters

258
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: a chance to make The decision gives you a little

259
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: insight as to how difficult game management is. Biologists look

260
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: at past and current population data to determine what type

261
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: of harvest is needed in a given area. They subtract

262
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: from that vehicle mortality, wound loss, natural death and come

263
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: up with a number of how many tags we are

264
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: willing to issue for that zone. Then, well, mominature your

265
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: steps in with the h D. This may be a

266
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: good year to hang onto that deer tag. Continue to hunt,

267
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: but really set your bar high. Plan on eating that

268
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: tag unless than possible happens and Mr Big steps out.

269
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 1: But keep in mind the deer that are left in

270
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: those e h D affected areas may have the genes

271
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: you want to have around for the next time e

272
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: h D comes around. Moving on to the anthropology desk,

273
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: this one referencing a recent article in hissed Ho titled

274
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: Ancient Canadian settlement older than the pyramids. First, why are

275
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: we always comparing things to the pyramids? Yes, they're big

276
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 1: and have lasted a long time, but what are they

277
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: really doing for us? You built a big, not all

278
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: that attractive house designed in the vein attempt to take

279
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: your riches to the afterlife, and we all have to

280
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: look at it. On top of that, you're gone and

281
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: the places crumbled and looks like hell. Why don't we

282
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: reference the folks that had a different mindset? In other words,

283
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: there are plenty of people that probably thought about building pyramids,

284
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: but also thought, you know what, you can get a

285
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: lot of good hunting and fishing and kayaking in in

286
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: the time it would take to build a pyramid. And

287
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: what the hell is the matter with your house's remains

288
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: as well as your own just disintegrating into nothing. Don't

289
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: inflict your taste on everyone else. That's just a rant

290
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: for you anyway. A dig is currently underway on the

291
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: British Columbia island of Triquette, where charcoal from an ancient

292
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: heart has been dated to fourteen thousand years ago. What's more,

293
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: the tools associated with this dig a hand drill for

294
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: fire making and at laddle, you know, which is like

295
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: a spear flinger and fish hooks suggests this was an

296
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: established camp and not the site of a far flung wanderer.

297
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: Another exciting point is that there was a lot of

298
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: ice on the North American continent fourteen thousand years ago,

299
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: which is why there's been a generally accepted theory that

300
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: the first people's in North America got here by a

301
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: land bridge that connected what is now Siberia to Alaska

302
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: only about twelve thousand, five hundred years ago. However, recent finds,

303
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: some of which we've discussed here on the Weekend Review,

304
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: like the hunting site at Cooper's Ferry, Idaho, which inexplicably

305
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: had a point that matched points in Japan, a spear

306
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: tip and a mammoth bone on the Washington coast that

307
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: was found in and this site in Triquette upset that theory.

308
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: These sites are all much older. They suggest that people

309
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: got here earlier, and by sea, and by sea. We're

310
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: sure as heck aren't talking Christopher Columbus either. That dude

311
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: was great at getting headlines, but way way too late

312
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: on the North America game, and let's face it, was

313
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: a pretty damn poor player at that. The location of

314
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: Jaquette Island, about a hundred and fifty miles northwest of

315
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: vancou is an important site for the Health Suck Nation,

316
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: as the timing fits the narrative of their oral history

317
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: and may help them in negotiations of territorial rights with

318
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: the Canadian government. It's not gonna be hard to argue

319
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: who got there first. Another thing I like to think

320
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: about when contemplating the diaspora of people's from this time,

321
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: their tools, their abilities, their inabilities, and the big question

322
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 1: of why did they feel like pushing themselves to a

323
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: new continent? Pick just one issue that causes people to move.

324
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: Population density, too many people putting too much pressure on

325
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: the resources of the area. Well, here's some fun numbers

326
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: for you. The Earth had possibly as few as four

327
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: million people twelve thousand years ago. That's roughly forty nine

328
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: million miles squared per million people. Right now, Los Angeles,

329
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: California roughly has four million residents spread out over just

330
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: five hundred square miles. Let's say, just for fun, you

331
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: were traveling with a family unit of eleven individuals twelve

332
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: thousand years ago, you could have had roughly four point

333
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: five million miles squared per eleven person family group. Of course,

334
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: some of these completely made up familial home ranges would

335
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: have been completely uninhabitable because they are either covered in

336
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: ice or water. But hey, you know, space is space

337
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: looking out at space, so there so many activities. Next

338
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: up at the anthropology desk, the ancient Nasca Lines. The

339
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: famous yet mysterious Nasca Lines are a series of over

340
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: three hundred geoglyphs in Peru. A geoglyph is a design

341
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: or motif made out of rocks or something permanent. Scientists

342
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: recently discovered a new one in the Peruvian desert of

343
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: a cat, which, as far as outdoor cats go, is

344
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: about as good as as you can get. Moving on

345
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 1: to the crime desk, and what is the biggest poaching

346
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: case in Nebraska state history. As of this recording, over

347
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: one hundred people from twenty one states have been linked

348
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: to one outfitter for their involvement in wildlife crime crimes

349
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: including illegal baiting, out of season, illegal means of take,

350
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: the shooting of non game animals, tag fraud, violations of

351
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: the Lacy Act, and so much more. So far, and

352
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: we do mean so far as the process is ongoing,

353
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: thirty people have pled guilty and have been ordered to

354
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: pay a collective total of five hundred and seventy thousand,

355
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty three dollars in fines and restitution.

356
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: The co owner and chief operator of Hidden Hills Outfitters

357
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: was sentenced to thirty months in federal prison in ordered

358
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: to pay two thousand, three d seventy five dollars in

359
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: restitution to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. He will

360
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: not be allowed to hunt, trap, or engage in any

361
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: related business for fifteen years after his release as part

362
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 1: of the plea agreement. The investigation was a joint effort

363
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: by Nebraska Game and Parks officers and the US Fish

364
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: and Wildlife Service. Together they uncovered a minimum of ninety

365
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: seven animals that were transported over state lines, including thirty

366
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: four mule deer, thirty white tailed deer, twenty seven turkeys,

367
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: and six antelope. Hunters are cheering, as wildlife crime can

368
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: so often fail to get the full attention of the courts,

369
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: This five year investigation started with a tip from an

370
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: unnamed concerned citizen one phone call. Well done, Nebraska Game

371
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: in Parks. If you want more on this story, you

372
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: can get it at the Meat eater dot Com from

373
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: that well, Rit Kristen Schmidt. Sticking with the crime beat,

374
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: we'll call this one the buck stops here, and this

375
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: one may have you looking twice at four good horned

376
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: bucks this season. Just last week, a Colorado woman was

377
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: gordon the stomach by a neighborhood mule deer buck while

378
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: walking her dog. She sustained cuts to her head, arms,

379
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: and legs and was hospitalized. The seventy three year old

380
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: who allegedly raised a day's old fawn in her home

381
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: has been sighted and find one thousand dollars for illegally

382
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: raising and feeding wildlife. The investigating Colorado Parks and Wildlife

383
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: officer was reportedly approached by the buck, who now had

384
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: the victim's blood on its antlers. The officer killed the

385
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: habituated buck. A neckruptcy of the animal determined it had

386
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: been eating unnatural foods. Just another reason to not feed wildlife.

387
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: They will attempt to kill your neighbors, and maybe stay

388
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: off the unnatural foods. That's all I've got for you

389
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: this week. Thanks so much for listening. As per usual,

390
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: let me know how I'm doing, and most important, what

391
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: is happening in your neck of the woods by writing

392
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: in to a s k C. A L. At the

393
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: meat eater dot com that's asked Cal at the meat

394
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: eater dot com. Thanks again, I'll talk to you next week.

395
