1 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: From Meat Eaters World News Headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This 2 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: is Col's Week in Review with Ryan col Calahan. Here's 3 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: cal A California woman made the news last week for 4 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: illegally harvesting abalony and then hiding it down our pants. 5 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: The California Department of Fish and Wildlife reports that a 6 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: game warden became suspicious of the woman and her male 7 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: companion after observing them harvesting purple sea urchins in the 8 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: intertitle zone. As he watched, he observed the woman quote 9 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: discreetly conceal what appeared to be an abalony down her pants, 10 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: an unconventional storage method, especially if you're doing things legally. 11 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: But this story gets even better. If you've ever been 12 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: tasked with confiscating candy from a child, you can probably 13 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: predict what happened next. Stopped the couple and asked the 14 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: woman to produce the abalony from her nether regions. She 15 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: handed it over, but the warden was still suspicious, so 16 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: he called over a female colleague and told the woman 17 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: she'd conduct a more thorough search. This prompted the abalony 18 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: underpants poacher to produce yet another marine snail from her trousers. 19 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: Satisfied that all the snails had been accounted for. The 20 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: warden sighted the woman for illegal take of too abalony. 21 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: That might seem a little harsh, but the recreational harvest 22 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: of ablony has been closed in California since twenty eighteen. 23 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: They were long considered a culinary delicacy and harvested up 24 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: and down the coast, but a marine heat wave between 25 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen decimated kel forest, which was 26 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,639 Speaker 1: the main food source for ablony. At the same time, 27 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: the area saw an explosion in purple Sea urchin, which 28 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: compete with abalony for food. You can still find the 29 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: delicious snails along the coast, but you can't pick them 30 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: up at the end of the day. The only thing 31 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: more uncomfortable that an abaloni in your pants is explaining 32 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,639 Speaker 1: to warden why it was there in the first place. 33 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: This week we've got bear attack, death, DC listener mail, 34 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: and so much more. But first I'm going to tell 35 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: you about my week. And my week well, I got 36 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: walloped in a three punch combo. Let's say first off, 37 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: I had a great time in Charleston, South Carolina. Loved 38 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: everybody I met. I was down there for the Southeast 39 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: Wildlife Expo. Huge shout out to free Fly. We did 40 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: a lunch and learn series out there for back country 41 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: Hunters and Anglers. Really really cool group of folks working 42 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: on that brand, and they produced a really killer collab 43 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: sun hoodie and hat with our buddy Ed Anderson's artwork 44 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: on there. Super sharp, super functional gear and the proceeds 45 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: go to backcountry Hunters and Anglers. All of that was amazing, 46 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: great people, but you all sent me packing home with 47 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: a hell of a flu. That's punch one, Okay, now 48 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: punch two. Mike Beagle, who, among many other things and accomplishments, 49 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: is the founder of back Country Hunters and Anglers founding 50 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: thought leader. He was the person that kind of helped 51 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: organize a group of about seven people around an Oregon 52 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: campfire and came up with this idea that there needed 53 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: to be another group out there that could speak for 54 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: public land, public water, public wildlife specifically wilderness big chunks 55 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: of BLM and do it from a land use kind 56 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: of perspective, a hunter angler land use perspective versus being 57 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: you know, maybe confined to a species specific type of perspective. 58 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: It's the only founder we'll ever have and it's because 59 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: of his forethought and thinking that PHA took off the 60 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: way it did and Mike passed away, likely of a 61 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: heart attack hiking. So it very fitting, but certainly taken 62 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: before his time. And that was punch two of the week. 63 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: Guy had a giving back ethos and awareness of what 64 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: public lands and wilderness give to all of us, and 65 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: he spearheaded the organization. Punch three of the three punch 66 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: combo is My grandpa Jim, also known as Doc Callahan, 67 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: died the same day, and I was so sick from 68 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: Punch one that I couldn't make it two and a 69 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: half hours over to see him, which you know, don't 70 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: cry for me. I'd been visiting and calling him regularly, 71 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: and ninety one years is a really good run. So 72 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: permit me to eulogize a bit here. I'm just a grandchild, 73 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: so you know, not my role, but this is my show, 74 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: so I can do whatever the heck I want. Doc 75 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: was called Doc because he was an oral surgeon. He 76 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: loved his family, and I think, like most folks who 77 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: stick around into their eighties and nineties, that's really what 78 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: kept him going. He also loved his home state of Montana. 79 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: In fact, He expressed to me how he couldn't hardly 80 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: travel the state anymore because of how much it had changed. 81 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: His mother's side of the family had homesteaded in what 82 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: is now the Gallatin Valley bos Angelus, as we often 83 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: mock it. Doc had several stories which by sheer usage 84 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: I would say were favorites. One of which was when 85 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: his grandpa. His grandpa would hitch up a two horse 86 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: team to a buckboard wagon and go into Gallaton Gateway 87 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: to the store and post office, and he would let 88 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: my grandpa take the reins. He would say every time 89 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,119 Speaker 1: that the horses could have gotten the mail themselves, because 90 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: that's all they did, but it still made him feel 91 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: like the biggest mule skinner around. He would name those 92 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: horses every time he told this story, and for the 93 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: life of me, I just cannot remember the dang horses' names, 94 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: which is scary and also makes me feel guilty like 95 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: I took that story for granted, or that time with 96 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: him for granted. He had tons of stories, stories of 97 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: goose hunting and elk hunting and pheasant hunting and fishing 98 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: and football and tackling elk calves in the Bob Marshall 99 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: in the early days of elk steadying, cowboying out on 100 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: the glory beat, how scary old ranch hands were grizzly 101 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: bear encounters when they're almost were no grizzly bears left 102 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: in the state. He had mournful stories of his mother's 103 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: trying to make it on the farm. When the dust 104 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: bowl blew the Callahans out of the farming game. The 105 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: smell of boiling oats made her wonder if it were 106 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: food for the chickens or food for the kids. He 107 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: had lots of good dog stories, and he had stories 108 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: of alcoholism and depression too, which I think of his 109 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: tools and his toolkit. When Doc wanted to learn a lesson, 110 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: he was willing to expose his very personal examples in 111 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: order to make that lesson impactful. At the same time, 112 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: he was aloof and frankly as a kid, he was 113 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: scarier than hell. You know, as most old folks get old, 114 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: they shrink. This guy was still bigger than me when 115 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: he passed away, and so as a little kid he 116 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: was just larger than life. I'd say for most of 117 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: his life he averaged cripes over two hundred and twenty 118 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: five pounds. Probably he was six foot fourish, I don't know, 119 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: big dude. And so you'd have this big guy hanging 120 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: on the periphery, arms crossed, almost always standing. He'd be 121 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: aside behind and wearing what most people would consider a 122 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: scowl across his face. If you looked at him, you know, 123 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: you wouldn't see a happy person there. But he was 124 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: always there. He always made time to be there, even 125 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: if he never interacted, and more often than not, he 126 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: was a silent presence again as a kid, intimidating as hell, 127 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: big guy, big hands, scars, And it's weird to know 128 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: all of these action stories of this man and I 129 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: never personally saw him do any of the big Western 130 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: stuff that he would talk about and the stories that 131 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: he knew I loved. Other than downhill ski. The guy 132 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: loved to ski, and he skied, you know, well into 133 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: his seventies until his childhood best friend, his cousin, Loell Kloneger, 134 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: passed away, and he pretty much put up his skis 135 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: after that and said, there's no more point to this. 136 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: And that kind of started a sad trend for me, 137 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: because even though right ups until the very end, he 138 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: was mentally and physically fit to do whatever he wanted, 139 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: and I would prod him to do more with his time, 140 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: bug him, irk him, tell him how much people younger 141 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: than him would kill for what he had mentally and physically. 142 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: And this inact he looked to me like giving up. 143 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: But I think now he was just holding himself in 144 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: reserve in case his family needed anything. Even if what 145 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:17,119 Speaker 1: was needed was I unasked for something thankless, like standing 146 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: silently arms crossed at a football practice or Christmas program, 147 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: away game or home game. The guy was always there. 148 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: So friends and neighbors, even though we all think this 149 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: stuff good reminder that these times are fleeting, might want 150 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: to write down the names of those ponies before the 151 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: original subject matter experts disappear. Moving on to the attack desk. 152 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: Although prehistoric cultures had lots of advanced technologies stone needles 153 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: at laddles, perspective drawing, one thing they did not have 154 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: was bear spray. According to a recent paper published in 155 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: the Ernal of Anthropological Sciences, a can of counter assault 156 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: would have come in handy for an adolescent boy who 157 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: died in northern Italy twenty eight thousand years ago and 158 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: whose bones show the characteristic injury patterns of a bare attack. 159 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: The boy's grave was discovered in nineteen forty two, and 160 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: it was quite a grave. The body was laid on 161 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: top of a layer of red ochre, The head was 162 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: covered in a shawl containing hundreds of tiny perforated shells 163 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: and deer teeth, and a nine inch long flint knife 164 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: was placed in his hand. Because of his elaborate burial, 165 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: archaeologists have nicknamed him Prince Shippe or the Prince, supposing 166 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: he was a high status person to earn such a 167 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: big send off. And although researchers had previously guessed that 168 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: the boy died of a predator attack, this is the 169 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: first study to take microscopic scans of the preserved bones 170 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: and compare them with known patterns of predator attack trauma. 171 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: Sure enough to damage to the boy's jaw, collar, bone, 172 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: and skull matches injuries from a large carnivore run in 173 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: a long groove on his skull, and a puncture in 174 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: the fibula fit the shape of claw and teeth. The 175 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: researchers concluded quote given the overall traumatic pattern, a bear 176 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: attack Ursus arctos or Ursus spalius remains the most plausible explanation. 177 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: A couple interesting things here. First, we're familiar with how 178 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: dangerous Ursus arctose is the famous grizzly bear, but Ursus 179 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: spielius was about ten percent bigger than the grizz despite 180 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: relying more on plant foods, So this boy was almost 181 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: definitely killed in the defensive attack rather than a predatory one. Second, 182 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: that scientists who found very subtle healing of the boy's 183 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: phone fractures, which means that he must have survived for 184 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: a few days before he died, and in fact, this 185 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: wasn't unusual. Many elaborate graves of this time period contained 186 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: bodies that show signs of injury, disease, or other unusual features. 187 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: So it could be that these burials weren't honoring people 188 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: of extraordinary status, but instead comforting people who were going 189 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: through extraordinary suffering. And who knows, maybe that nine inch 190 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: long flint knife was meant to fend off a bear 191 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: in some future life. Moving on to the Washington d 192 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: C desk, the Trump administration recently launched a new commission. 193 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: It says we'll conserve America's natural beauty and expand outdoor 194 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: recreation opportunities. The Make America Beautiful Again or MABA Commission, 195 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: was created in July of last year, but it only 196 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: recently announced its goals and agenda. According to a press 197 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: release from the Department of Interior, the MABA Commission will 198 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: have five key priorities. Balance stewardship and economic growth, Increase 199 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: access for hunting, fishing, and other forms of recreation, Expand 200 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: voluntary conservation, recover species and support habitat, and finally, quote 201 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: cut red tape driven by climate extremists and bureaucracy in 202 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: the outdoors. That last one, they say, is about red 203 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: tape that gets in the way of conservation and restoration projects, 204 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: not as you might assume, red tape that gets in 205 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: the way of energy development. As with most presidential commissions, 206 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: it's unclear exactly what this body will be empowered to do. 207 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: Some conservation organizations applauded the move and see it as 208 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: an opportunity to work with the Trump administration to conserve habitat. 209 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: Joe Webster, the Chief Conservation Officer of TRCP, called it 210 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: quote a clear opportunity to advance the interests of America's 211 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: forty million hunters and anglers. TRCP points out that, in 212 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: conjunction with the MABA announcement, the National Fish and Wildlife 213 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: Foundation announced a request for projects that improve the quality 214 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: of big game seasonal habitat, stopover areas, and migration corridors 215 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: on federal land. The NFWF is a private conservation foundation, 216 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: but it was established by Congress in nineteen eighty four 217 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: and works closely with the federal government. I think it's 218 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: fair to say that other groups and individuals are more skeptical. 219 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: The New York Times ran an article about the commission 220 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: titled Trump Executive Order creates Commission to open protected public Land, 221 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: implying that it would give hunters access to protected areas. 222 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: The Sierra Club took this line as well, writing that 223 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: MABA is nothing more than an attempt to greenwash Trump's 224 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: goal of stripping public land protections in your Secretary Doug 225 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: Bergham said in the MABA press release quote through American 226 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: Energy Dominance expanded to access to outdoor recreation and an 227 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: end to burden some red tape, the Trump administration has 228 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: already taken monumental steps to make America beautiful again. You know, 229 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: the way to look at this gang is it's a 230 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: good door opening says these are the things that we're 231 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: thinking of. There's some clear ish buckets, and we get 232 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: to go in there and help define those. Any One 233 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: of these things can be a big win or potentially 234 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: a loss if they're not guided correctly. That's why you 235 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: got to be involved in this stuff now. The Forest 236 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: Service recently announced a new rule that gives us a 237 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: better idea of what Secretary Burgham is talking about. The 238 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: new proposal is supposedly designed to streamline the project approval 239 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: process and makes it easier for the Forest Service to 240 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: quote build healthier, more resilient for US and infrastructure. But 241 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: they want to do that by limiting public input. Under 242 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: the rule, the public comment period would be reduced from 243 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: thirty days to ten days for projects that require an 244 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: environmental assessment. These projects have a moderate environmental impact and 245 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: include things like a timber sale or a new trail. 246 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: For more major projects that require a full environmental impact statement, 247 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: the public comment period would be reduced from forty five 248 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: to twenty days. The rule would also eliminate the ability 249 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: of the Forest Service to extend the comment period for 250 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: especially controversial or complicated projects. This could significantly limit the 251 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: ability of the public to weigh in on initiatives that 252 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: affect the health of our forests. It often takes several 253 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: days for a new project to get covered in the 254 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: local media, and then several more days for it to 255 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: get picked up by national outlets. Then, if you rely 256 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: on a program like this one to learn about this 257 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: kind of thing, it takes several more days for the 258 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: episode to air. Unless you open up your laptop and 259 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: type out a comment as you listen, it likely takes 260 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: several more days on top of that to actually submit 261 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: a comment. If the comment periods for these projects are 262 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: between ten and twenty days, that will often not be 263 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: enough time to inform all the people who need to 264 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: weigh in. It will advantage the big industry lobbyists that 265 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: keep a close eye on these issues, while leaving average 266 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: Joe hunter out of the process. Again, full agreeance that 267 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: some of this stuff should be way more simple, but 268 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: limiting the public from our public lands and how they're 269 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: managed not a good idea. The way you should read this, 270 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: The MABA Commission has opened the door, given us some guidelines. 271 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: Now it's time to weigh in. Moving on to the mailbag, listener, 272 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: Jim Layin sent me an article from Archaeology magazine about 273 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: an ancient village that served as a meeting place between 274 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: a Mesolithic hunter gatherer culture in a Neolithic agricultural culture. 275 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: Archaeologists had previously assumed these two societies did not interact 276 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: in Central Europe, but they found evidence of both cultures 277 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: at the same site, which suggested it was a place 278 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: where quote two distinct communities, newcomers and longtime residents exchanged objects, ideas, 279 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: and technology. This got Jim thinking about the way his 280 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: hunters and farmers interact even to this day. Jim said 281 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: in his email quote years ago, I was a young 282 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: hunter gatherer and a dairy farmer allowed me to hunt 283 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: on his land. He was older and did not hunt himself. 284 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: I took a decent four point. He was able to 285 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: observe the whole show at a distance. He was excited 286 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: and enthusiastic that Christmas. I gave him what I thought 287 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: was the not very impressive rack and some burger. When 288 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: he passed away. Years later, his daughter told me the 289 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: antlers were displayed in his house the rest of his life, 290 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: and even if he noticed anyone looking at them, he 291 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: would repeat the story of that little hunt. How I 292 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: was concealed in the fence line, the buck chasing, the 293 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: does the shot, How he helped recover the deer with 294 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: his tractor in front of the rack on the wall. 295 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: He'd point out the window and say, it fell right there. 296 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 1: Sometimes what we do is more important than what we know. 297 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: I gonna say it better myself, Jim. We often highlight 298 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: conflicts between hunters and landowners, but we should never lose 299 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: sight of the fact that the vast majority of our 300 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: interactions are like this one. Positive. Farmers and ranchers give 301 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: thousands of hunters the opportunity to chase game on their properties, 302 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: and they're often just as excited as we are when 303 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: we have success. Moving on to the maple syrup desk. 304 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: That's kidding, it's the Vermont desk. When we talk about 305 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: large predator reintroduction the US, you're almost always talking about 306 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: the West wolves in Colorado, grizzlies in California, and can 307 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: anybody buy a turkey? Who wants a turkey? But recently 308 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: a group called Mighty Earth has pushed forward an interesting 309 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: plan for our neighbors back east, bringing the mountain lion 310 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: back to Vermont. The species puma conkolar colar. It should 311 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: be coolar ed as Latin anyway, con color as we'd 312 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: say in Montana or concolar as. I'm sure I'm wrong 313 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: on both. Please write in ask c al meeater dot com. 314 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: The cat goes by a bunch of names depending on 315 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: where you live mountain, lion, cougar, puma, catamount, panther, and 316 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: more than thirty others, and that's just in English. It 317 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: also has the largest native range of any large mammal 318 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: in the Americas. At one time you could find lions 319 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: from the Yukon and Northwest Canada all the way down 320 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: to Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America, 321 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: and so all the different people across that range had 322 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: their own moniker for their local cats. But the very 323 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: familiar story of over hunting and habitat loss hit these 324 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: cats hard and they were completely extirpated east to the Rockies. 325 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: In fact, the last lion documented in Vermont was way 326 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: back in eighteen eighty one. But times have changed, and 327 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: now the forests of the northeast have all the habitat 328 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: and prey animals that a cat could want. Pumas have 329 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: been expanding across the country, now arriving into the Midwest 330 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: from the Dakotas, and young cats often traveled hundreds of 331 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: miles once they're kicked out of their parents' home range, 332 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: so there's no reason to think they wouldn't eventually make 333 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: it to the East coast, But as with wolves in Colorado, 334 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: that's not fast enough for certain activists. Recently, with the 335 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: backing of Mighty Earth, House Built four seven to three 336 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: was introduced into the Vermont legislature which would require Vermont 337 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: Fish and Wildlife to conduct a feasibility study on mountain 338 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: lion reintroduction. A feasibility study considers all existing research on 339 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 1: a certain wildlife policy before that policy is implemented. But 340 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: the problem here is that there is no existing research 341 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: to draw from. Although we know it would be cool 342 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: to have mount lions back in more of their historic range, 343 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: we can only guess about what it would look like 344 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: in practice. Lions would no doubt eat whitetail deer and 345 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: maybe some Springer spaniels. They would die of old age 346 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: and mostly by getting hit by cars, and they would 347 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: move within the Green Mountain State, but also into surrounding 348 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Canada, Maine, and Massachusetts. The fact is no 349 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: state has ever reintroduced lions back into an area where 350 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: they had previously been wiped out. The Vermont Department of 351 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: Fish and Wildlife last week wrote an op ed urging 352 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: activists to slow down, stressing that the region's biologists and 353 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: wildlife agencies should go do the research about what all 354 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: that might look like before we can decide if it's 355 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,239 Speaker 1: feasible for cats to come back. Listen, if I ran 356 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: the Vermont DFW, I'd want to slow things down too. Officials, 357 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: there are no doubt look to Colorado and see their 358 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: colleagues out there struggling to comply with a voter mandated 359 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: predator reintroduction, and if a cat wherever to God forbid, 360 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: pray on a human, the agency would be the one 361 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: to pick up that phone call. For the good of 362 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: the cats and the people in the Northeast, we should 363 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: know more before we speed ahead. Here's an example. Nineteen 364 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: fifty eight to nineteen sixty eight, the wildlife coordinator for 365 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: the state of Arkansas, a guy named Gene Rush, just 366 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: decided to go up to Minnesota, trap black bears at 367 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: garbage dumps and drive them twelve hundred miles south in 368 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: pickup trucks. He and a few colleagues told almost no one. 369 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: Turning bears loose in the National Forests of Arkansas, not 370 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: even getting permission from the guys in charge of the 371 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: National forest. That's pretty rude and reckless. But it's also 372 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: why we have bears in the house central part of 373 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: the country today. Would I want that same thing to 374 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: happen in Vermont with mountain lions, No, I wouldn't, but 375 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: mostly because they're just going to get hit by cars. 376 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: So I think we should do the research and dream 377 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: about having that tasty lion meat accessible in a sustainable 378 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: harvest manner. Oh my gosh, maple syrup and porkline goes together, 379 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, like spaghetti and meatball. Yeah, you be the judge. 380 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: Moving over to the Cowboys State, the legislature is voting 381 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: on House Bill nineteen, which would officially legalize corner crossing 382 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: in the Cowboys State. This might seem strange after the 383 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision back in October not to hear a 384 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: case challenging the Tenth District Court ruling that legalized corner 385 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 1: crossing and wyoming is in the Tenth District, So that 386 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision makes it legal, right, So why pass 387 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: a separate law if it's already legal? That's a heck. 388 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: Of a question. Although the tenth the District ruled that 389 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: corner crossing isn't illegal, it gave no guidance about how 390 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: corner crossing should be conducted. How precise does a corner 391 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: cross there need to be about where the property boundaries are? 392 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: Is the property owner liable if someone falls off their ladder? 393 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: How much privacy can a landowner expect. Passing a law 394 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: explicitly making corner crossing legal would address these and bring 395 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: up other questions too, And maybe even more importantly, we 396 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: don't know why the Supreme Court declined to hear the 397 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: corner crossing lawsuit last year. With state laws in place 398 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: establishing the right to corner cross we would be protected 399 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: against that possibility. Not everyone is happy about the bill. 400 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: At a public hearing on the issue, Park County farmer 401 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: and rancher Carrie Peters said, quote, this is a slow 402 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: creep on private property rights. One person says this bill 403 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: is good. Another says, just add pack animals and then 404 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: I'll be happy. Where does it stop. I'd respond that 405 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: clarifying these matters is exactly what this bill is attempting 406 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: to do. But I would also point to the unlawful 407 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 1: enclosures Act of eighteen eighty five, which allows for livestock 408 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: to pass over private property to get to public So 409 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: a state build defining all these rules around this stuff 410 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: would be great for landowners and to access seekers alike. However, 411 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: if everybody just pointed and said, this is how the 412 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: highest court in the land has ruled, which in a 413 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: sense they did right the United States Supreme Court said 414 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 1: the lower court decision is sound and that is the law. 415 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: So how much more defining do we need to have? 416 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: Don't you worry we'll get or sorted out? Two things? 417 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: Can it happen at the exact same time. We can 418 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: respect the heck out of private property, which we do 419 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: here in America, and we can access public property and 420 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: stay on public property. That seems pretty cut and dry 421 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: to me. That's all I got for you this week. 422 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening. Remember to write in 423 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: to askl Let's ask hell at the met Let me 424 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: know what's going on in your neck of the woods. 425 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: Say a big old prayer for your old doc Callahan 426 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: for me. He did a lot of praying for me 427 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: during his time here on earth. And maybe that's exactly 428 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: how I got this far, stayed alive anyway, currently at Pheasantfest, 429 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: checking that off the list. Going down to Austin, Texas 430 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: next week. Week after that, I think I'm going to 431 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: the Black Bear Bonanza in Arkansas.
