1 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: This is me Eater podcast coming at you shirtless, severely, 2 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: bug bitten and in my case, underwear listening hunt don't 3 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: eat podcast. You can't predict anything presented by first light. 4 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: Go farther, stay longer. This is an extra special Loose 5 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: Ends episode. In fact, we're recalled loose Ends where we 6 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: deal with hate mail. Um, we don't love mail, No, 7 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: very little hate mail, disappointed mail, outstanding questions, clarifications, the 8 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,959 Speaker 1: one my favorite corrections. We're a doodle here something He's 9 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: like non in and in and in any right, and 10 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: it takes the time to right in and tell you 11 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: where you're wrong. I love it. But um, there's two 12 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: ways that it comes. It comes as from a person 13 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: who is like, man, you know, I want to contribute 14 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: to the conversation in a constructive way, and those boys 15 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: should not be misleading people in this way. And I 16 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: feel like I'm gonna do my civic duty as an 17 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: engaged listener and set the record straight. There's that guy 18 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: well love, and there's like this other sort of feller 19 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: who just has a ax to grind, probably spends a 20 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: lot of time on Facebook writing mean messages to people. 21 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: Right first one, I'll bring this one up just like 22 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: just got it today, just came in today. What are 23 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: you doing? Honest? Making notes part of my job. This guy, 24 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: here's what he has to say. My hunting body and 25 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: I were watching your show what Butcher and a Moose yesterday? 26 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: Tom Habib is this feller's name? My hunting body never 27 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: watching your show while Butcher and the Moose yesterday. I'm 28 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: already I'm already hooked. I'm already engaged by this letter. 29 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: And he says, we're chatting about the cast of characters 30 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: that appear on the show and podcast. I don't want 31 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: to turn this into it if your favorite Meet Eater 32 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: guy was a character from Game of Thrones, Harry Potter 33 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: or whatever, who would he be type of thing. But 34 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: there was one comparison that just leaped out at us, 35 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: especially after listening to the podcast under the Bear Encounter 36 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: on a fog Neck, which is talled The Meat Tree 37 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: Part one. In The Meat Tree Part two, he says, 38 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: while Steve is the apparent protagonist and gets all the glory, 39 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: it is clear to us that he is merely the 40 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: fro Though to Janice's Sam Wise, I e the true 41 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: hero of the story who just goes out there and 42 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: straight up get ship done. It is your honest, so 43 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: do you that's this guy had to say that. It's 44 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: like that was just a nice fan letter. That's really sweet. 45 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: Sign that for me. He signed him in a frame 46 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: it less less, get so full of himself. Let's get 47 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: so full of himself. Thanks tom um. Did you just 48 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: set your honest up to just knock him down a 49 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: peg or two? I swear to it's on top of yeah, coming, 50 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: it's on top of the heat. It's on top of 51 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: the heat because I just printed it off this morning. Alright, 52 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: you can't see me, but I'm sitting here that fistful 53 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: of print outs. What happens? Does He's come into an 54 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: account the contact if you go to like the meat 55 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: the meat eater dot com and go to the contact 56 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: thing you write a letter. It's like, I get that 57 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: on one of my accounts and I'll be like huh 58 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: if I if it catches my eye, I'll be like huh, 59 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: and I'll afford it to my regular email and there 60 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: I will print it off and putting this big giant 61 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: pile of things that keep meaning to bring up. Here's 62 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: another one about Yannis Yanni's going on and on and 63 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: on about how there's no difference between the thirty or 64 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: six and three mag particularly where a guy was saying 65 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: a guy Yanni was saying, Yanni was talking annoyedly. That's 66 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: not a word, but Yanni was. Someone was saying, Oh, 67 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: on this hunt, doesn't matter what hunter it was. He's like, 68 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: on this hunt thirty all six ain't gonna cut it, um, 69 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: you need a three win mag. And Janni was going 70 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: on on and on about how there's really no difference, 71 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: because he's saying, what's the difference? Who really cares? If 72 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: you have? It's a thirty caliber bullet, so it's point 73 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:57,799 Speaker 1: three zero eight of an inch, weighs the same amount. 74 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: So it's this projectile with a certain diameter, and this 75 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: projectile has a certain weight, and it's going a certain speed. 76 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: And he's pointing out that you have this set thing. 77 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: You're talking about the same grain bullet, the same weight bullet, 78 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: the same diameter, made of the same ship. What's the 79 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: difference is it's flying out of your gun at three 80 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: thousand one ft per second or what you honey, uh 81 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: whatever fee per second? Um. As in the den of 82 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: this idea, I'll point out that when I was a kid. 83 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: I was born at the at what I call the 84 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: Great Awakening of the thirty six. You guys lived in 85 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: the shotgun area, Yeah, Michigan. There's a line at which 86 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: there's a line across the state in the southern part 87 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: of the state where if you live like north of 88 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: that line, you can hunt with a center fire. You know, 89 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: you home with a rifle. South of that line, you 90 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: can only help with the shotgun, a muzzle loader. Do 91 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: you know that? Cow? I did? I did not? You 92 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: mean you weren't aware of Michigan shotgun rifle line. No, 93 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: I wasn't, how insult exactly. I'm not well traveled man there. 94 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,559 Speaker 1: There is such a lot of our Midwest deer hunting 95 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: states are shotgun only. But you know what they I 96 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: just gotta I just saw a story about this. There's 97 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: some new cartridge, some new rifle cartridge that you can 98 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: now use in the shotgun area. Some giant, some crazy 99 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: giant thing I'm not real familiar with, some slow lobbery 100 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: you're allowed to use in the or something like that. Yeah, 101 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: but it is, but not but something like that. Um So, anyways, 102 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: prior like when I was born, everybody had a thirty 103 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: thirty it was called it was known as a brush gun. 104 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: But then and that's all everybody had. And then right 105 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: around when I turned fourteen, everyone was going out and 106 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: buying a thirty at six. It was only like two 107 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: guns that existed. You either had a thirty thirty or 108 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: you were anxious about getting your thirty ot six. I 109 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: had never heard of most guns. When I moved in Montana, 110 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: everybody had two seventies and three d Win mags. Is like, huh, 111 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: I was packing the thirty hot six. Probably soon after 112 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: that's when the short magnum craze started. Right right about 113 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: it was the first act that first going to first 114 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: non nine old gun that someone gave to me. Gun 115 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: I bought was a short mag um. Another side note, 116 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: this thirty oh six. All the numbers and guns mean 117 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: different things. What do you do you know what thirty 118 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: thirty means? Yeah? Thirty Well, originally when it got its name, 119 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: it was the third The first thirty is for thirty caliber, 120 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: and then the second thirty was for thirty grains of 121 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: powder behind it. Okay, thirty oh six is thirty caliber. 122 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: Come out in six introducing six, so it wasn't new 123 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: in ninety four. Well, I got a little bit of 124 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: a jump on the legal minimum shooting age and and 125 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: and uh got a little bit of a head start 126 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: on app But anyways, whatever year I had, I was 127 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: still I was shooting a thirty two special, which was 128 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: old time even compared to a thirty thirty peep site 129 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: on it, so Winchester model. Anyhow, this guy writes in 130 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: to say to take Yanni to task. He says, you 131 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: guys talked about how the only difference between the thirty 132 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: oh six and the three wind Meg is velocity, which 133 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: is technically true, but the argument for the wind mag 134 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: is not velocity. For velocity's sake, I didn't print this 135 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: guy's name off, which is bumming me out. For an 136 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: equivalent bullet weight, what you're really gaining with the three 137 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: wind Meg versus the thirty oh six is increased kinetic energy, 138 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: which could loosely be correlated as stopping power. My old 139 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: man during Whiskey Whiskey to World War Two, my old 140 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: man said that the sniper shot thirty oh six is 141 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: m M true. He carried a Tommy gun um and 142 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: he had a B A R. I believe in the 143 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: Tommy gun for a while, but he said there's that 144 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: was the gun that was like the So even back then, 145 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want people to come away 146 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: me thinking thinking that somehow the thirty out six became 147 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: cool in the eighties. Um. He goes out to say 148 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: what the formula for for uh kinetic energy is. But 149 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: here's the important part. Since you're squaring the velocity. So 150 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: when okay, I will tell you the formula for kinetic energy. 151 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: Kinetic energy is one halftimes mass times velocity squared. Since 152 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: you're squaring the velocity, a moderate increase increase in speed 153 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: provides more than a linear increase in energy. So, using 154 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: Yanni's one hundred grain bullet as an example, a three 155 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: hundred wind meg throwing that one eight grain bullet at 156 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: three thousand, one hundred and fifty ft per second is 157 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: putting out three thousand, nine hundred seventy two foot pounds 158 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: of energy, and the anemic little thirty oh six Yanni's 159 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: a little thirty oh six throwing the same bullet at 160 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: two thousand, seven hundred feet per second, So four hundred 161 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: fifty less ft per second is a full thousand less 162 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: pounds of connect energy. A seventeen percent increase in velocity 163 00:10:53,400 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: yields a thirty seven percent increase in energy. You have it, 164 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: it's not the same. No, I would carrying this piece 165 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: of paper on, waving this piece of paper in Johanni's 166 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: face for months, wanting to bring this up. I want 167 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: to go ahead, then you can. You can say what 168 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: you gotta say, Guy goes on to say. Guy goes 169 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: on to kind of wind. He winds up sounding a 170 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 1: little bit like like the eagle, because he goes on 171 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: to say, that's the physics of it, but doesn't really matter. 172 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: Ask the smartest hunter, you know how many footpounds it 173 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: takes to killing elk. I think by that he means 174 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: they're not going to know. More energy results in increased 175 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: hydro static shock pressure, but good luck quantifying that. As 176 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: it relates to killing a large animal, there is a 177 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: point of diminishing returns, and Janice is correct to say 178 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: that it is better to shoot a caliber you are 179 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: comfortable with so you can make a good shot to 180 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: the vitals. There is also the issue of too much 181 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: energy in meat wastage. Velocity is obviously also tied the 182 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: bullet drop, but that's a separate issue that can be 183 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: solved with practice and a range finder, says odds are good. 184 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: You guys already know all this. I just need an 185 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: excuse to take a break from my yard work. Okay, 186 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: now go ahead. Well, I think when we when I 187 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: read that email earlier, I didn't catch those the last 188 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: two where he starts signing like you, Yeah, that was 189 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: just gonna be my follow up. So you're gonna say 190 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: the same thing he's I appreciate the man sign off. 191 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: That was well writ email there. No, he did a 192 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: good job. Let print his name off. I'll look up 193 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: his name. Any thoughts about that, Kelly him you shoot 194 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: a three wind Meg. I love the three mag Yeah, 195 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: the very similar that. I mean, like, the whole historic 196 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: lineage of this is a bigger argument than just when 197 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: you break it down to the numbers, I feel like, 198 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: because it kind of comes down to experience and what 199 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: you're comfortable with and what you've seen perform well in 200 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: the field. And yeah, just the difference between growing up 201 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: in Michigan and growing growing up in Montana. Um it uh. 202 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: You had access to different things at different times, and 203 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: and like you talk about the thirty six coming onto 204 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: the scene and what that did for hunting and the 205 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: availability of ammunition that it wasn't really that great because 206 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: it was all of World War two surplus stuff. I 207 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: don't think great for big game animals, but that could 208 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: have made lifelong thirty six fans and lifelong thirty six opponents. Um, 209 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: which you know, leads you down the path to different calibers. 210 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: And then there's the there's the old like, well it 211 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: works for me at which is hard to argue against. 212 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: It's very hard to argue against. Okay, right, here's the 213 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: guy exactly my age. He includes his age and he's 214 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: exactly my age. His name's Brian Um. He goes on 215 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: to say, spent some years since I've really been out 216 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: in the wilderness. Your thoughtful discussions with intelligent members of 217 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: the hunting and fishing and wilderness management community have reignited 218 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: that love of wilderness and wildness. I was especially impressed 219 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: with episode seventy two American Wilderness, which highlights how important 220 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: wilderness is to our national identity and heritage, and that 221 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: wilderness as untouched lands and quote untouched is somewhat of 222 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: a myth. We tend to these lands to manage them 223 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: and maintain their wilderness character. I'm reminded of something I 224 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: read by Michael Pollen regarding wilderness and his essay The 225 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: Idea of a Garden from his book Second Nature. He 226 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: addresses this idea of wilderness where he writes, this is 227 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: Michael Pollen writing, at this point in history, after humans 228 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: have left their stamp on virtually every corner of the earth, 229 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: doing nothing is frequently a poor recipe for wilderness. He 230 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: goes on to say. Pollend goes on to right, the 231 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: inescapable fact is that if we want wilderness here, we 232 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: will have to choose which wilderness we want, an idea 233 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: that is inimicable, inimical to the wilderness ethic. Interesting bit 234 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: of follow up, Yeah, don't agree. So what this gentleman, 235 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: wilderness don't have by accident anymore, and your idea of 236 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: I guess he's arguing the purity of wilderness. Yeah, that 237 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: it's a managed landscape in our country's history, I think 238 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: we like for a long time we had wilderness in 239 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: spite of our best efforts to get rid of it, 240 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: and now we have some because of our best efforts 241 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: to preserve it. That switch happened like around you know, 242 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: it was a round like worked and work to work, 243 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: and work to work to to to conquer it, and 244 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: then we had this like awkward transitional period and then 245 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: we worked and worked and work and work and work 246 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: to hang onto some of it. Right. Yeah, absolutely can't. 247 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: Can't cut a road up there, or I cut a 248 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: road up there, and the avalanches keep knocking the thing down, 249 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: So we're just not going to go up there. Made 250 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: a choice to just quit going up there cutting it. 251 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: Here's from a guy named Richard. Now this one really 252 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: struck a nerve with Yanni. This guy is saying this, 253 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: I've been hunting for the last seven years and yet 254 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: to close the deal on a deer, so seven years 255 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: as Feather has been at it. I never grew up hunting, 256 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: but have always been interested in it. I took up 257 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: archery and rifle hunting when I turned thirty. My first 258 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: year archery hunting, I had a spike come in at 259 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: five yards, but buck fever was so bad I could 260 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: barely pull in time. Second year, I had a bad 261 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: shot on a dough at twenty five yards. I was 262 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: crushed and then wanted to quit after that, so I 263 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: gather he crippled up a door and ever found her. 264 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: I moved to Idaho a couple of years ago, so 265 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: right in your backyard cow. Yesterday I missed a deer 266 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: at two d yards. My oak season starts on Wednesday, 267 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: and I'm having serious doubts as the weather I'm gonna 268 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 1: be able to do this? At what point do I 269 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: call it good? In just six sept that I'm not 270 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: good at it. I hate that I have spent countless 271 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: hours and time and money pursuing this with very little 272 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: to show for it outside of rabbits. I think if 273 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: I quit without getting a deer elk, It's gonna bug me. 274 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: My hunting buddies think I'm being too hard on myself. 275 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: But am I? You said one of your podcast you 276 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: were quit hunting if it was no longer fun and 277 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: there was no meat. I think I'm at that point. 278 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what should I do. Should I press 279 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: on Richard, no me and no fun? That'd be a 280 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: good T shirt. No meat, no fun that is a 281 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: great T shirt. Like my daughter says, she says, well, yeah, 282 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: we won't have a meal to eat, but we'll have 283 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: a story. It sounds like Richard's got a lot of stories. 284 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: Are you truly not having fun? Though? Like I mean, 285 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 1: I've had some every he here is Yeah, my god, 286 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: the misery we could pass on to people if that 287 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: were possible, But there was always something that comes out 288 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: of that trip. Seven years. Yeah, I know, it's a 289 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: hell of a dry spell seven year but you know, 290 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many places to go with this. 291 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: He's a he's a better human because of those seven 292 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: years spent. And look, he doesn't say how many days 293 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: of field per season he's spent. I'm sorry, but Richard 294 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: might only be hunting a couple of three days. You know, 295 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: maybe he needs to put in a month of archery 296 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: hunting and then see where his luck stands. You know. Um, 297 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean you can like national averages. I haven't looked 298 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: in a few years, but you know, the majority of 299 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: the hunting population is getting a long weekend at the 300 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: most is what gets recorded. So you know, if this 301 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: guy's getting out during archery and rifle season, he you know, 302 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: it could be a week total, let's say, or maybe 303 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: he's hunted fourteen days in his life. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, 304 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: the years doesn't really that doesn't really work that well. 305 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: And I think he's only you know, if he kills 306 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: one this year on his eighth year, he'd be just 307 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: a little bit less than like the national success rate, right, 308 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: because I mean we hover somewhere between like ten and 309 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: thirty depend on if it's archery or you know me 310 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: for general over the counter success. I'm gonna come at 311 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: him more practically. I think that, like I think that 312 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: the guy just kind of gotta have he's a little 313 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: bit of I think you stick with it. I think 314 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: he needs a little bit of success. I think the 315 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: way they'll find that success. I don't know how he's 316 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: sort of gauging what he's after, but I just have 317 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: a real hard time thinking that in the state he 318 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: lives in, if he goes out and carves out a 319 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: week a time to go out with his rifle and 320 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: he's committed to shooting a legal deer, he's gonna go 321 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: spend seven days out in a general unit and and 322 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: get a nice less than one shot yard shot at 323 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: a four key deer with his rifle, that he's not 324 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: gonna be able to do that. I agree. I don't 325 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: care if you just I don't care what you know. 326 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: If you can learn how to shoot at one hundred 327 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: yards and hit and just walk around in the woods 328 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: and you have in mind that you find the legal deer, 329 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: a good shot at legal deer and give yourself seven days. 330 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna come up empty handed. Yeah, 331 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: I mean that that may be generous. I think our 332 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: friend Richard is probably like right at that cusp of 333 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: doing one thing and being like, holy shit, it's that easy. 334 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: It's all gonna click. Stick with it. Yeah, I really don't. 335 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, that's the whole idea of quitment. 336 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: I don't really get the whole quitting Like I'm not. 337 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: I quit one thing one time where I was always 338 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: curious about chess, and my nephew sat down to explain 339 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: chess to me, and after about fifteen minutes, I was like, 340 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: never mind, because once I knew that it would take 341 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: that much just to be sucky, right, I didn't want 342 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: to get involved in it. I thought it was like 343 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: a little more complicated than checkers, right, sure, But once 344 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: I was like, oh that's what chess is, just never 345 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: mind because I'm not gonna This isn't something I'm just 346 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: gonna toy with. I'm either gonna do it or not 347 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: do it. And I see now that I am not 348 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: gonna like, I'm not gonna devote like I don't have 349 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: the time to figure this out to the degree that 350 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: I would want to figure it out if I would 351 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: start dabbling, right, And and you're thinking that to you, 352 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: your fund comes when you're at least proficient at something 353 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: like I like to play Sneaky Snaky Squirrel with my kids. 354 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: I have I'm able to play at a highly competitive level, right, 355 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,719 Speaker 1: and I have it dialed so it's enjoyable to me. 356 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: But chess wasn't gonna be like Sneaky Snaky Squirrel. So 357 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: where you trying to get all the acorns? Yeah? I 358 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: guess I am very biased here, but I don't under 359 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: if I guess you gotta ask you if you are 360 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: truly not having fun, which I just don't see as 361 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: as an actual possibility unless this seven years has just 362 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: been fraught with some series of you know, god awful 363 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: and unfortunate events. Uh went into the woods, house burned down, 364 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: went into the wood, dog died, went into the woods. Yeah, 365 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: if you are truly not having fun, yeah, find yourself 366 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: a different Yeah. If you're like, you're out there and 367 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: the sun's rising, you're like sunrise. I hate seeing those. 368 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: I hate natures that damn birds chirping. Yeah, he probably quit, 369 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: but that's not what he wouldn't be writing in if 370 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: thous case. Here's the thing two, Just as an inspirational point, 371 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: I'll sure um I had a very bad pumpkin year 372 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,239 Speaker 1: in my garden two thousand and six. Team will go 373 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: down as a bad pumpkin year. I came out of 374 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: that wanting to become a pumpkin enthusiast. I've been reading 375 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: up on how to grow world record pumpkins. So I'm 376 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: taking like loss and failure and turning it into becoming 377 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: a pumpkin enthusiast. I'm not writing letters to people about 378 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: quit and growing pumpkins. Had some stolen the ones I 379 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 1: did have her so small they were ridiculed by my 380 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: wife from children. They went out and bought other pumpkins. 381 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: Car like the pumpkins weren't good enough for him. We 382 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: ate one. Okay, our episode of wit Fosberg episode ninety 383 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: I think it was ninety really touched nerve and read 384 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: three pieces of feedback about this episode. Maybe yeah, I'm 385 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: gonna read three pieces of feedback. Here's one. Here's one 386 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: version of a way to take that. What was with 387 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: Fosberg from Theodore Roosevelt conservation partnership reached out to us 388 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: or not when my same reached out to us. Came 389 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: on the show and we did sort of a walk 390 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: around the country looking at leading conservation issues around the 391 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: country that affect hunters and anglers and fishing wildlife, or 392 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: affect fishing, hunt affect hunters and anglers through their impacts 393 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: on fishing wild life, and then talked about a couple 394 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: other like perennial conservation issues that just never really go away. 395 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: One guy says this to say, thank you very much 396 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: for it. Guys, I love the wonky conservation talk, and 397 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: he was very knowledgeable. Thank you for the work that 398 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: you do with this podcast. Here's where it gets interesting. 399 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm not a hunter. I have a very stereotypically liberal 400 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: person and a city planner, but this podcast has helped 401 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: me become better informed and now I actively support the 402 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: hunters in my community. There's one way to take that, 403 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: here's no way to take it. Really enjoy your podcast, 404 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: to find it informative and interesting. I like the hunting stories, 405 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: which are the best part of hunting. The historical info, 406 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: like the history of the elk on Kodiak on the 407 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: Kodiak Archipelago, in scientific information your guests have on the 408 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: environment and animal species that inhabit those environments. Your podcast 409 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: is a great diversion from the current news of the day. 410 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: He goes on to say some other very kind things. 411 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: UM goes on to have an observation about feeling uh, 412 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: you know, pressures being that that are on hunting and wildlife, 413 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: and it goes out to here's where he airs his grievance. 414 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: This guy's named advance UM. And it goes on it 415 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: has some very valid arguments and I and I feel 416 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: those frustrations where he says, as usual, I noticed you 417 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,479 Speaker 1: had a new podcast today, episode ninety, so I did 418 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: my work. I plugged in the earbuds and started listening. 419 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: I heard a person talk about a lot of various 420 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: stats and facts on past and current game numbers and 421 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 1: making sure access to public lands stay open, et cetera. 422 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: Then over and over again, I heard this person repeat 423 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: leftist talking points with no rebuttal from you. Once this 424 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: person made the statement that the U S should not 425 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: have withdrawn from the Paris climate cord, I had heard 426 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: enough and ended my listening session. This told me this 427 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: person was either foolish, slash delusional or simply a hardcore, 428 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: unabashed leftist with no rebuttal from you. I have to 429 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: assume you basically agree with this wolf in sheep's clothing. 430 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: I obviously do not personally know Mr Fosberg. I'm simply 431 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: forming an opinion based on his own words. If these 432 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: are the type of people you support, but which I 433 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: guess he means. If I would support a person who 434 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: has a personal opinion about that it was a mistake 435 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: to withdraw from the Paris climate a chord, then I 436 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: will move on. It makes your podcast into another a 437 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: media media attack on people like me. Just be warned 438 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: that a leftist like this, when the time comes, will 439 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: cut the throats of hunters everywhere. Give him the chance. 440 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 1: Um a couple of thoughts there one advance really like, 441 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: really gonna stop listening? That is heartbreaking to me. If 442 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: I had stopped listening to everyone that said something I 443 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,479 Speaker 1: didn't agree with, I wouldn't listen and talk to you, 444 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: cal you, Yanni, or my wife or my kids. There 445 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: would be no one at all I would listen to, 446 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: and I would just have to separate myself from everyone 447 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: I know. Put your head in a hole in the ground, 448 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: put my head in the hole in the ground, because 449 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: it is unavoidable that you will find a way to 450 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: only hear things you agree with. So I just feel 451 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: like you should reconsider if you're out there and you're 452 00:29:53,880 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: apparently not, I feel you should reconsider, um the other 453 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: part of it. And I see this quite often where 454 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: I finally like, you'll have a guy like with Fosburgh 455 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: who devotes his life to hunting and fishing. So that's 456 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: what he did growing up, that's what he does now. 457 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: He's devoted his life to hunting and fishing, and it it 458 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: was inspired by his love of hunting and fishing to 459 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: advocate on behalf of fishing wildlife. And there's like this 460 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: thing that happens, this sort of movement that happens often 461 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: you hear like the green decoy thing or whatever, where 462 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: it's like people go like, oh, if you have some 463 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: viewpoints that are regard as like a liberal viewpoint, then 464 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: you don't really actually like hunting and fishing, even though 465 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: that's all you've done your whole life, and even though 466 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: your career is based on hunting fishing, you don't actually 467 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: like it, and you will cut the throat of hunters 468 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: and fishermen first chance you get. It's like as though 469 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: looking for the enemies of hunting and fishing, you have 470 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: identified the people who like it most to be the 471 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: one who would like betray whereas a guy that hunts 472 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: and fishes and doesn't give a rats ass about fishing 473 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: while they've habitat is somehow more trustworthy. Like I like I, 474 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: I don't understand the perspective. I understand, um, what it's 475 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: like to be annoyed by someone's viewpoint. Like if I'm 476 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: talking to someone and they're telling me how they think 477 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: that under no circumstances should there be capital punishment, for instance, 478 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, dude, I totally disagree. I don't 479 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: then be like, and you know what, I disagree, and 480 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna be the guy that turns your back on 481 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: hunters and fishermen. I just like, I don't see that. 482 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: I don't see the correlation. Yeah, you know something I'd 483 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: like to bring up with that is that, um, we 484 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: hear that a lot about who that these people would 485 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: do this, and you would think that this is like 486 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: a real thing that maybe over the course of history, 487 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: over the course of hunters being conservationist, we would have 488 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: like an example and where these people could be like, yeah, 489 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: remember so and so that's some bitch. He hunted and 490 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: fish his whole life. He was just baiting the trap, 491 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: just baiting the chap and then he did it. He 492 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: did this whatever some hunting and fishing guys. However, however, 493 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: he did it, you know, with some legislation or some 494 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: rule or law or who knows what. But yeah, if 495 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: you have an example of that, please because I'd like 496 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: to understand it better. Um, you know, and we flirted 497 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: around with political discussions all the time. And the reason 498 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: politics makes me uneasy because I'm fifty real conservative and 499 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: real liberal depending on what part of the things I'm 500 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: looking at. So I'm like completely alienated by politics. There's 501 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: virtually no politician that I respect, um because I, no 502 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: matter what, disagree with half the stuff out of their mouth. 503 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: Uh No, here's another guy who said something. Here's here's 504 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: the kind of that I really like. Here's the guy 505 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: saying where Wit was wrong about something? So thank you 506 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: for writing in has enjoyed the last show is to 507 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: do every episode to keep up the good work. But 508 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: with Fossburg was incorrect when he said hunting is permitted 509 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: in Maine woods and waters National Monument. So so the 510 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: Cadada National Monument. I gin that's how you pronounced is 511 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: how you pronounce account. You know, it's like one of 512 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: those annoying names where you're like, no, it's Sherry tells me, yeah, Stefan, 513 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: not Steve. So he goes on to say it is 514 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,479 Speaker 1: in fact prohibited in the majority a small portion on 515 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: the east side of the Panov Scott River. I believe. 516 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: Now I wentn't check down the mapter and this guy's right. 517 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: The bulk of that monument you can't hunt. There's a 518 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: handful of black east of that river that you can hunt. 519 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: So we were wrong, he says. As a registered main guy, 520 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: I strongly opposed this, He goes Honestly, I'm very supportive 521 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: of conservation and preservation efforts with regard to this landscape. 522 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: He says his opinion the timber industry has decimated the 523 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: forests of Maine. I say this as a former lagger, 524 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: maybe a future lagger again, but as a hunter, I 525 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: am deeply troubled by the loss of hunting access to 526 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: this large area, especially when it provided the type of 527 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: remote experience which is steadily disappearing in the Northeast. For 528 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,720 Speaker 1: this reason alone, the monument does not have my support 529 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: on this issue. Ryan Zinkie and I agree. Please correct 530 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: this air and make hunters aware of this law of 531 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: the loss of this once great opportunity. We cannot stand 532 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: to lose many more of such areas. This guy's named Bill. Bill. 533 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: I totally agree with you man, in any case, in 534 00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: any possible scenario, hunting and fishing and in my opinion, 535 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: hunting and fishing should be allowed on national monuments only, 536 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: not only because I believe in extending hunting and fishing 537 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: access wherever possible, just as a jet as a rule, 538 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: but particularly with national monuments, because why deprived the This 539 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: is like the side thing. Why deprived the monument of 540 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 1: that level of engagement from the public. The best buddies 541 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,439 Speaker 1: you can have, The best buddies you can have when 542 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: it comes to wildlife management and land management is the 543 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: hunting and fishing crowd. Stay on their good side you 544 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: will have. Right now, we're having this big national debate 545 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 1: about the legitimacy of monuments. When having that argument and 546 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 1: fighting that fight, you should have hunters and fishermen on 547 00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: your side. What was Cold Dad Uh Woods and Waters 548 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: National Monument before it was a national monument. That's not 549 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: the place that was collections of public lands. I believe 550 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: there's a huge private in holding too. Isn't this the 551 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: bird's bees wax story? I don't know? Trying to find 552 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: out more quickly. Well, this feller is calling it a loss. 553 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: Yann to keep checking it as we go. We'll return 554 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: to this idea in a minute. I hate to think 555 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 1: that it jumped into this unprepared. Well, I'm just doing mail. 556 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: We're talking about this guy, Quentin hunting. Oh, here's a 557 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: good one, right for this calian. This brings up two 558 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: points you wanted to bring up or tease them up. 559 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: Scott says, Hey, I was just listening to this podcast 560 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: and you were speaking about certain species of fish you 561 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: need to bleed and others who don't. You brought up 562 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: the fact that most of the species you bleed are 563 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: red meat fishes. I believe the reason you bleed some 564 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: species and not others is because of the types of 565 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: muscle they possess. White flesh fish such as walleye and 566 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 1: perch have muscle compositions of primarily anaerobic muscle because of 567 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: the burst of motions swimming style they employ, meaning fish 568 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: lays in the bottom kind of chills. See something he 569 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: wants to eat whilst ass over there and grabs it 570 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: real fast and then goes back and chills out like 571 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: anaerobic bursts of energy. Salmon, on the contrary, presents possess 572 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: primarily aerobic muscles because they participate in sustained swimming. Yeah, 573 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: like a salmon doesn't go land the bottom in the ocean. 574 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,919 Speaker 1: He's like a plagic fish cruising around all the time. 575 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: This guy goes on to say the aerobic muscles require 576 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: higher rates of respiration, which need a greater blood supply 577 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: to the muscles. I'm not positive about this, but the 578 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: correlation seems to be great, and the theories seem to 579 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: be backed by what I have learned in my collegiate classes. 580 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: Just food for thought. Now, this aerobic anaerobic muscle thing 581 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 1: is interesting because if you look at like, think of 582 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: game birds, all the game birds, you know, waterfowl upland 583 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: which ones have white flesh breasts and which ones have 584 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: dark flesh breasts kyl Yeah, Well, pheasants r at the 585 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: ditch chicken classic white white meat bird chills out and 586 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: has an occasional explosive flight rough grouse chills, occasional explosive flight, 587 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: dark meat, not dark dark um, not like a goose. 588 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: Birds are kind of in this category, a little darker. 589 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: It's a spectrum. It's a spectrum, sure, but it's a 590 00:38:53,960 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: little dark tim a little darker. No difference in behavior. Yeah, 591 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: but what I'm talking about is this, I'm talking about 592 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: talking about waterfowl. Oh yeah, waterfowl s. No goose breast 593 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: very dark. This guy would get up and he's gonna 594 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: cover hundreds of miles in a single flight, sustained flight, 595 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 1: dark dark meat. Yes, and think about a wild turkey. 596 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: Where's the dark meat on a wild turkey? All the 597 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: legs up on his feet, one and around all the time, 598 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: white breast, short bursts of flight. Yeah, now, now here's 599 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,320 Speaker 1: a weird deal. You look at a sage grouse. I 600 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: think got a sage grouse. His thighs are lighter than 601 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 1: his breast. So I don't think it's a universal principle, 602 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,839 Speaker 1: but it is interesting. And just to bring it back 603 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: around to the fish thing, I think that there's something 604 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,720 Speaker 1: too it. I have like grown up fish and fresh 605 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: water in the Great Lakes, right. I never once met 606 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:13,720 Speaker 1: a guy who bleeds waally or bleeds perch or bleeds bluegill. Yeah, 607 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: you know, and then most guy, anyone that knows anything, 608 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: bleeds salmon. And you and I are ripped a couple 609 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: of gills on rockfish just because just out of habit 610 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: and there's nothing happens. You know. My brother said, I 611 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,240 Speaker 1: was asking my brother Danny, who is a fisheries biologist, 612 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: about that rock fish has such a slow metabolism, has 613 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,760 Speaker 1: such a slow sorry, has such a slow like slow 614 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: low flow blood flow. Yeah, that when you bleed him, 615 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't force any blood out. Yeah, super small heart 616 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 1: moves very slow because they're living to be twenty years old. 617 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: You know. There's an idea about animals. It's kind of 618 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: like roughly is like a heart is good for so 619 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:04,359 Speaker 1: many beats. You have a finite amount of beats, yeah, 620 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: because you want to like like how long is a mouse? 621 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,240 Speaker 1: Like what's a mouse's heart rate? And like mammals, okay, 622 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: what like what's a mouse's heart rate? Very high? And 623 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 1: how long does it live? Very short? Very low lifespan. 624 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 1: So there's this idea that like a heart's good for 625 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: so long, how long you live? It's like how long 626 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna take you to suck up the heartbeat that 627 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: how long is it gonna take you to to use 628 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: up your allotted quantity of heartbeats? And then it isn't 629 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 1: being kind of interesting when you look at heart rates 630 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 1: and life expectancy of different mammals and our our friend 631 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: here is getting an extra beat every now and again. Yeah, 632 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,799 Speaker 1: and yeah, he's burning through it even faster because of 633 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,439 Speaker 1: his problem. No, yeah, I mean that's what I'm telling you, guys, 634 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: say that the people that suffer from that severe venturacle 635 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: techiardia might be pronouncing that wrong, but that that's like, 636 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: that's the the bad symptom of it is that your 637 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: hearts doing too much work that it shouldn't be doing, 638 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: and it's gonna wear out faster sooner. Yeah. Do you 639 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 1: want to talk meat? Yeah? I can do another meat one. Yeah. 640 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 1: We can come back to this cataton thing too, if 641 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: you guys want to. I can just reach like a 642 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: real quick paragraph paraphrase paragraph from Wikipedia on the history 643 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: of it, please, so we could at least know so. 644 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: Roxanne Quimby, co founder of like Cal, said, bird's bees, 645 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: like soaps and whatnot. Yeah, have sticks stuff began purchasing 646 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: land near back to State Park in two thousand one 647 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: before formally announcing their plans in two thousand eleven, and 648 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,439 Speaker 1: the land would one day become part of a national park. 649 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: But there was state and federal opposition to those to 650 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 1: those plans, and so they changed the focus to doing 651 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: a national monument, which could just happen through uh the 652 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 1: Antiquities Act and the proclamation by a president. So they 653 00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 1: did that on um well, August six. They donated land 654 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: valued at sixty million, plus twenty million in additional funds 655 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: for operations and then a commitment of twenty more million 656 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 1: in future support to the federal government so they could 657 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: keep the thing going. So then August August sorry, Obama 658 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:26,839 Speaker 1: proclaimed thousand, five d sixty three acres of land as 659 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:31,720 Speaker 1: the Canada Woods and Waters National Monument. So that's only 660 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: beef with what was his name, Bruce, I can't remember 661 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: with with with with you know him right in that 662 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,959 Speaker 1: they bought it up, so they didn't buy it from 663 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: the state. So that's totally like, that's totally in the gates. Yeah. See, 664 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 1: it's such a confusing world. This is the monument issue 665 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 1: is incredibly confusing, and the issue from my perspective, is 666 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 1: always that each one is much more of an individual 667 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: versus let's say wilderness. Right, people have a basic understanding 668 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 1: of wilderness. Uh, probably because of the name. They're like, oh, yeah, 669 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 1: it's a whild what what flies and what doesn't fly? 670 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: And what flies and what doesn't fly? Right, And most 671 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,320 Speaker 1: folks who go outdoors can be like, oh, yeah, wilderness. 672 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 1: I think you can't ride your bike in there is 673 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 1: and you can't operate heavy machinery, you can't have a chain. 674 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 1: Virtually true. Virtually true. You're right, Um with the monuments. Uh, gosh, man, 675 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: I have no excuse not to be fully up to 676 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: date on this story. But I believe because of the 677 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:50,359 Speaker 1: nature of you're going from private land, uh, acquired by 678 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: the federal government. Um, that came with some strings attached. Yeah, 679 00:44:55,719 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure so that may all right? Damn it, yeah, 680 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: damn it should should have been more well r at 681 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 1: on this one. Well, you know what, you know, I 682 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: could go in. I have the power to go in 683 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 1: and make it. This conversation never happened, and that the 684 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: letter never came. You're just going through your mail. But 685 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna because I'm just gonna leave it over 686 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: to the fact that like, um, it's a tricky, complicated 687 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 1: world out there, you know. Yeah to the gentleman that 688 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 1: road in, yeah, check that out man. Maybe the feller, 689 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,320 Speaker 1: the b guy that bought up all the land, whoever 690 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: used to own it, was like, come on, come all, 691 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 1: hunting fish all you want. So maybe that's what's going on. Yeah, 692 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: it's it's possible. I um, there are ways, uh to 693 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,399 Speaker 1: make some changes, Like let's walk through this one as 694 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 1: it just to explain like a way that a public 695 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: land thing can become public. We haven't talked about Sabanosa, 696 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: Am I saying it right? Sabanosa? Okay, Now, in New Mexico, 697 00:45:55,400 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 1: you have a wilderness area that was completely landlocked, and 698 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:07,880 Speaker 1: landlocked is and landlocked means we had a a federally managed, 699 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: publicly owned wilderness area that you couldn't get to because 700 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,839 Speaker 1: any road there was no road access to it. There 701 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 1: was no way to walk into it without crossing private property. 702 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 1: So the wilderness area was basically a playground for anyone 703 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: who happened to own a joining land. There was no 704 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: legal way for you to like park your car and 705 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 1: walk into the wilderness. And because it's wilderness and you 706 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 1: can't fly in and land a helicopter. There was no 707 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 1: way to get there. Yeah, unless you wanted to pay 708 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 1: uh an access fee or uh perhaps going with an 709 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: outfitter that was operating off of one of those private holdings, 710 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 1: so you could pay your way in. You could pay 711 00:46:55,360 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 1: your way in. But think of, man, it was off 712 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: to the work and stuff. It was cut off to 713 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: the work and stuff and what and think of the 714 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 1: incentive to keep that stuff locked up at your landowner. 715 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 1: You get an extra ultimately twenty thousand acres. Yeah, it's 716 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 1: like I own a hundred acres, but actually I opened 717 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 1: one acres because only me and a select few neighbors 718 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 1: can get into this block in this chunk land. So 719 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 1: a guy, this is a cool story that just happened. 720 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 1: The guy owns one of the there's a guy that 721 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,839 Speaker 1: owns one of these ranches that borders the wilderness aary, 722 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,239 Speaker 1: the Sabinosa Wilderness. They owns one of these ranches, and 723 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 1: his ranch is a bridge. There's a bridge between this 724 00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: wilderness area that the public owns but can't access in 725 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,759 Speaker 1: the road and public easement. Yeah, he comes to the 726 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 1: federal government and says, I'd like to give you guys 727 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 1: this ranch I would like to donate this ranch to 728 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 1: the American people so that the American people can access 729 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,400 Speaker 1: their piece of land that they're now not able to 730 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 1: get at. It took a little wrangling and Senators you 731 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:20,400 Speaker 1: Doll and Heinrich from New Mexico got involved in helping 732 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 1: to orchestrate this deal, and Interior Secretary Zinkie got involved 733 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 1: and how to orchestrate this deal, and it just became official. 734 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,760 Speaker 1: The ranch is now the property of the American people, 735 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 1: managed for them by the federal government, and it is 736 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: now an access point and trailhead to go into the 737 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,759 Speaker 1: sabinas the wilderness area. Yeah, I believe it's managed by 738 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: the BLM. Is who's in charge of that wilderness they 739 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,479 Speaker 1: I was just hunting to patch a ground not long ago, 740 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,399 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of like equipment ship laying around 741 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,319 Speaker 1: out in the mountains and a body mismy. He's like, dude, 742 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 1: this used to all be private. It was purchased by 743 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 1: the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation willing seller, willing buyer. It 744 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: went up for sale. Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation took donor money, 745 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 1: which is what the kind of their specialty. They took 746 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,880 Speaker 1: donor money bought the whole damn place and handed it 747 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 1: over the BLM to manage. I didn't even know this. 748 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 1: I've been hunting on it. Didn't even know that it 749 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:30,799 Speaker 1: was like r M e F purchase to become public land. 750 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,239 Speaker 1: Public land has there's like some complicated stories there, man, 751 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: very complicated. Yeah, And and unfortunately on whatever side of 752 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 1: this um, whether you'd like to see everything privatized or 753 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 1: everything public, you can tell a pretty convincing story on 754 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,799 Speaker 1: either side, because nothing's totally black and white. Yeah, there's 755 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,399 Speaker 1: a guy I want to have on the podcast I've 756 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: been reading up on lately who um Uh. His deal 757 00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 1: is is that public land doesn't really exist. His deal 758 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 1: that like public land basically any public land that was 759 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:13,319 Speaker 1: traditionally grazed by livestock people is basically like a collaborative 760 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,400 Speaker 1: ownership between the grazer and the government. And there's no 761 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,960 Speaker 1: real such thing as public land as we understand it now. 762 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,799 Speaker 1: He thinks it's all a sham and it is this 763 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:23,880 Speaker 1: coming out of the basis of he comes out of 764 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 1: the egg industry. Okay, but it's not like a land 765 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,359 Speaker 1: has no value until it is cultivated type of thought. Yeah, 766 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: that kind of I think he I think he comes 767 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,799 Speaker 1: out of that angle. Okay, I'd like I want to 768 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,560 Speaker 1: get I want to contact him and have him on um. 769 00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 1: You know, I don't like. I like, even if he's right, 770 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,920 Speaker 1: I don't really care, right, I don't like like if 771 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 1: someone said, you know what, I've looked and looked and looked, 772 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,440 Speaker 1: and it turns out that you should be able to 773 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 1: enslave other individuals. I've I've studied the Constitution, and it 774 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:56,920 Speaker 1: turns out if you read it the right way, the 775 00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:00,399 Speaker 1: way I interpret it, there's no problem with you going 776 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 1: over to your neighbor and enslaving him at gunpoint. It's legal. 777 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be like, okay, sweet, I'm gonna go and 778 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,879 Speaker 1: and enslave my neighbor now, right, Like, I don't really care, 779 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 1: because it would still be it's just like, you know 780 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,319 Speaker 1: what I mean, convert still be like, well, yeah, that 781 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,319 Speaker 1: might be true, but I'm not going to do that.

Okay, never mind, all that. 826 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:11,760 Speaker 1: The guy's a sushi chef and you wanted to comment 827 00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:16,000 Speaker 1: on something. We're talking about salmon making sushi and sashimi 828 00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:20,279 Speaker 1: from your salmon, and how it's hard to get it 829 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,919 Speaker 1: the way that that that it is in a sushi restaurant. Yeah, 830 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,799 Speaker 1: and we're also talking about how most people won't do 831 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,279 Speaker 1: it with the coho that we had caught and that 832 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,239 Speaker 1: we were doing it with. Ye, and we're like, is 833 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 1: it not the way? Yeah, We're like, is it not 834 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,000 Speaker 1: the way? It isn't a sushi restaurant because of what 835 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,440 Speaker 1: something we're doing, or is it because it's a coho 836 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 1: and you'll never get it? To be right, I felt 837 00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 1: we felt like I've gotten a pretty good slice on it. 838 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:53,399 Speaker 1: It looked good, the presentation was nice. Just wasn't the same. 839 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 1: That was a little different. But I'll point out I'll 840 00:54:55,480 --> 00:55:00,640 Speaker 1: point this out to as a prelude to this guy's comment, Um, 841 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,840 Speaker 1: salmon have a high parasite load. And this is no 842 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,080 Speaker 1: joke Like I used to. Usually stuff like this, people 843 00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,839 Speaker 1: start talking about food safety and all this. I usually 844 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 1: brush a lot of that off and I pay the 845 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,400 Speaker 1: price for it. But I usually brushed all that stuff off. 846 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:16,120 Speaker 1: But it's no joke. Salmon. If you're eating raw salmon, 847 00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:17,839 Speaker 1: you need to freeze that salmon and thought out they 848 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,880 Speaker 1: need it row. It's come from a guy who's eating 849 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,920 Speaker 1: pounds of it. Not done that way. But I've had 850 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,719 Speaker 1: a lot of people who are not hysterical and who 851 00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:30,839 Speaker 1: are not sky is falling kind of folk who have said, bro, 852 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,759 Speaker 1: you gotta freeze it. You'll get sick. It's real. Oh yeah, 853 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 1: I think I've been on the flip side of that coin. Anyways, 854 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,479 Speaker 1: this brother is saying this, and this is a great tip. 855 00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 1: I just I called my damn brother to tell him this. 856 00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,360 Speaker 1: This guy's name is Kaido, it's a nickname. He's a 857 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,120 Speaker 1: chef and hunter from Michigan. He says, here's where you 858 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: boys are screwing up. You need to take a sam 859 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,640 Speaker 1: This is for making sushi and sashimi out of salmon. 860 00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,840 Speaker 1: You need to take that thing and cover it in 861 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 1: kosher salt for eight minutes, absolutely no longer than ten minutes. 862 00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:12,120 Speaker 1: Packet in salt in order to pull the extra water out, 863 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 1: then freeze it, then slice it. What he's saying is this, 864 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 1: When you freeze that thing, the water expands, the cell 865 00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:28,759 Speaker 1: walls burst, because of water comes out. That's why when 866 00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:32,000 Speaker 1: you vacuum seal a piece of salmon, right, you vaccal 867 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,200 Speaker 1: there's no water in there, whatever whatever, hell, but whatever 868 00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:39,520 Speaker 1: your vaccal, there's no water in there. Putting your freezer thought, 869 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:42,680 Speaker 1: there's a few tables of water and you're like, where 870 00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:46,400 Speaker 1: did that come from? It's being liberated from the fish 871 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,560 Speaker 1: through the freezing process, and it leads to a mushy 872 00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:54,640 Speaker 1: quality product. He's saying, you gotta suck a bunch of 873 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,200 Speaker 1: that water up out of there by packing it and salt, 874 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,319 Speaker 1: pull some of the extra water out, and that is 875 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:05,200 Speaker 1: what gives you that firm buttery what he describes as 876 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:11,239 Speaker 1: the amazing buttery texture. Mm hmm. I can taste this. Yeah. 877 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,440 Speaker 1: I think One question about it though, is that after 878 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,840 Speaker 1: you take it out of the salt, Yes, do you 879 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:22,360 Speaker 1: just absolutely rinse it? Rinse it right? Yes, because you're 880 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,240 Speaker 1: never gonna I mean, how you gonna brush it off? 881 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,800 Speaker 1: And let's say if he says it skin flay. Also, 882 00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:33,400 Speaker 1: you think I'm getting I would. My guests would be Kaido. 883 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:38,720 Speaker 1: Can he has to rewrite in now? Yeah? Mom, guessing 884 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,720 Speaker 1: that he's he's got to be skinless. I don't know. 885 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. I can see both ways kind of 886 00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: right back in. Dude, Well up, no, not skinning it. 887 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 1: And but I'm gonna listen. I think he's onto something. 888 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:56,240 Speaker 1: I know exactly what that something Gunn is talking about. Okay, 889 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 1: what was the two things you were going to bring up? Oh, 890 00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,800 Speaker 1: this is just having your ear to the railroad tracks. Yeah, exactly. 891 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:09,120 Speaker 1: Dry aging or just aging meat? Is it necessary? Does 892 00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:17,640 Speaker 1: it actually make a difference, um my experience? If I 893 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:21,880 Speaker 1: think it's always better to let things relax for as 894 00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,640 Speaker 1: long as you can stand it, at least twenty four hours, 895 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna butt in at least twenty four hours because 896 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: that's how long read it takes for the brigamoret. It's 897 00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:36,920 Speaker 1: too enter and then leave. Yeah, however, I've done it 898 00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:42,440 Speaker 1: immediately to several hours after, just based on what's happening 899 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,720 Speaker 1: in life. And it's not like that's meat that is 900 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:51,080 Speaker 1: not good as far as the aging goes. You mean, 901 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,920 Speaker 1: like aging of a couple of hours doesn't matter. Like, 902 00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,760 Speaker 1: it's not like that's meat that I then think is 903 00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 1: not any good. Oh no, it um it uh. It's 904 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,320 Speaker 1: not like don't even go through the trouble if you 905 00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,919 Speaker 1: can't hang the thing in your garage for twenty days. 906 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:20,000 Speaker 1: I'm tracking no, ye, sorry about still probably real good 907 00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:25,600 Speaker 1: depends on the animal, yes, but in general, think of 908 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:30,360 Speaker 1: it in extremes. I think of extremes if you shoot 909 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 1: something and butcher and you're eating an hour later. It 910 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:39,280 Speaker 1: has a metallic taste and it is very tough because 911 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,920 Speaker 1: it's still in rigor. Yeah, and for me almost it 912 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,880 Speaker 1: almost gives me not really like a belly ache, but 913 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:50,040 Speaker 1: sort of like a gurgly just kind of an off stomach. 914 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,760 Speaker 1: Whatever it is that it's going on in there, it 915 00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:58,640 Speaker 1: seems like and again it could be just uh, random occurrences, 916 00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 1: but unless you had two of you, yeah you would, 917 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 1: you'll never know. Never know. When I eat meat it's 918 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:10,840 Speaker 1: too fresh, I just get I don't get sick. I'm 919 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,520 Speaker 1: just like, man, something just wasn't quite right. I'll definitely 920 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 1: eat it. But it's not a let's they say it's 921 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,919 Speaker 1: not as good, and then do you need to have 922 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 1: a climate controlled situation. I've never personally had that, um so, 923 01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,480 Speaker 1: but I'm always afraid to answer people's questions on an 924 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,440 Speaker 1: age all kinds of Let me let me tell you. 925 01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 1: My brother ages me so so he he lives in Alaska. Um. 926 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:40,920 Speaker 1: He's Ali was hunting in September and has been up 927 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:45,240 Speaker 1: in Alaska in September. Um, you have cold nights, very 928 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:49,920 Speaker 1: warm days. Everything's all wet. There's flies everywhere, meat bees 929 01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:54,000 Speaker 1: around everything. It is not conducive to like yard hanging. 930 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,760 Speaker 1: It's not conducive to garage hanging. All you do in 931 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,640 Speaker 1: Alaska is beat flies off stuff. Right just you're not 932 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,000 Speaker 1: gonna hang it. Just it doesn't work out. September hunting 933 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,919 Speaker 1: in Alaska. Agent meat like in your garage is gonna 934 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 1: happen unless you built the cooler and you can ring 935 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,160 Speaker 1: up some little dorm fridge. But you're not gonna hang 936 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 1: a moose in there. So he when timing out his 937 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:23,040 Speaker 1: wild meat calendar, he doesn't think like, oh, I gotta 938 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 1: have last year's moose and caribou all eating up by 939 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:33,520 Speaker 1: September first, because then I'll have my new moose and 940 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 1: my new cab when I'll start eating them. He times 941 01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 1: that where he wants to have last year's all eating 942 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:43,760 Speaker 1: up at some point in the winter because his moose 943 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:49,360 Speaker 1: has been freezer aging, which I believe, and some people 944 01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:53,800 Speaker 1: freezer aging. What do you mean, well, stuff deteriorates in 945 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 1: a freezer. It just takes a long time to do it. 946 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 1: You will never all out, but two years you will 947 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,760 Speaker 1: never pull out. Let's it's two thousand seventeen and you 948 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 1: find a piece of meat from two thousand fifteen in 949 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:10,120 Speaker 1: your freezer. You will never find a tough piece of 950 01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,600 Speaker 1: meat that's two years old in your freezer. Well, I 951 01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:14,680 Speaker 1: think the same thing is having to meat that the 952 01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 1: guy just explained is happening to that fish. Yeah, it's 953 01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:22,680 Speaker 1: breaking down, yeah, you know, because the water molecules are 954 01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:24,720 Speaker 1: there and freezing. It is breaking down the like the 955 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, on like the molecular structure, you know, And 956 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,800 Speaker 1: the longer it's in there, the more it happens, and 957 01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:34,320 Speaker 1: things just slowly break down. M hm. And then uh, 958 01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,640 Speaker 1: that's the problem when you find mab coming out of 959 01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,920 Speaker 1: the permit frost. Well, unless you have one of those freezers, 960 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,600 Speaker 1: that's uh. Like, what's that crazy ice cream? I think 961 01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,400 Speaker 1: it's called dipping dots. It's got I've got an uncle 962 01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,800 Speaker 1: who sells it at a or it's my wife's uncle. 963 01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:53,240 Speaker 1: He sells dipping dots at an amusement park that he owns. 964 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,840 Speaker 1: And they when they started, when they became a purveyor 965 01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,760 Speaker 1: of dipping dots. They to have a special freezer that 966 01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,480 Speaker 1: doesn't just stop at zero. It's like negative thirty or 967 01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,040 Speaker 1: negative forty, because there's such high fat content in the 968 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,800 Speaker 1: dipping dots that if you just free hold it at 969 01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:13,240 Speaker 1: zero or thirty two, it's it's gonna go bad real fast. Right, 970 01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 1: So he's got a special freezer that goes down to 971 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,680 Speaker 1: negative thirty or negative forty, right, just for these ice 972 01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:22,240 Speaker 1: cream Well, he's like, yeah, side bonus of that is 973 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,560 Speaker 1: I was able to throw a few elk steaks in there, 974 01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:28,920 Speaker 1: and five years later, still go my deep freeze. I'm 975 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:30,880 Speaker 1: looking at I'm looking at the thing right now. My 976 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,880 Speaker 1: deep freeze runs at negative fifteen, which is quite a 977 01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 1: bit colder than my kitchen. Do you have it maxed out? 978 01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start doing that. I was trying to find 979 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 1: like the efficiency level, but I'm gonna quit. I got 980 01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:43,360 Speaker 1: a lot of fish in their man, and I'll just 981 01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,640 Speaker 1: to keep my fish cold. I do some other age 982 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:50,560 Speaker 1: and stuff. When is too old to cold? No, too 983 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:54,280 Speaker 1: old in your freezer. I personally looked at something and 984 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:58,000 Speaker 1: been like, Nope, I'm gonna throw it away, just physically 985 01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:02,640 Speaker 1: cannot do no. My sister him doesn't allow for things 986 01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:06,160 Speaker 1: to get anywhere near the point at which I would 987 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:07,840 Speaker 1: call him into question. But I could say that my 988 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: brother Matt once found some seven year old elk meat 989 01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,520 Speaker 1: in a freezer and enjoyed it. Not his elk, mind you, 990 01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,600 Speaker 1: he found it in a freezer. I've never had a 991 01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:20,920 Speaker 1: problem to it with. And the oldest stuff I've always 992 01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,240 Speaker 1: eaten has been elk, just because when I was living 993 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,440 Speaker 1: in Colorado, it's like everybody had elk in their freezer, 994 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,200 Speaker 1: and oftentimes would be at someone's house and they'd go, oh, 995 01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:29,920 Speaker 1: look at that, you know, and you'd end up with 996 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,240 Speaker 1: some three or four year old elk. Never had a 997 01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:35,440 Speaker 1: problem with that, but I do think that fish, oh 998 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 1: you can get there, dude. Like Oh, for instance, last 999 01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,840 Speaker 1: night we ate the last package of blue cat from 1000 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:47,920 Speaker 1: UH from Kentucky and that was half ago. Yeah it 1001 01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,560 Speaker 1: was still good, it was edible. We enjoyed it, but yeah, 1002 01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:54,800 Speaker 1: it wasn't quite the same. I my like I was saying, 1003 01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,720 Speaker 1: how I keep fishing my big deep freeze. I high 1004 01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:01,720 Speaker 1: prioritized fish. So my the peak fish for me, peak 1005 01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:05,760 Speaker 1: fishing the freezer for me is August Lay July August, 1006 01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,000 Speaker 1: when I'm at my cabin lot fishing lot in lot 1007 01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,400 Speaker 1: sam in the hell. But whatnot dude around now, I'm 1008 01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,600 Speaker 1: very much like looking to be having that stuff getting 1009 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,640 Speaker 1: wrapped up. In fact, I'll be. I think I pulled 1010 01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:20,360 Speaker 1: out my last salmon and just smoked it. I saved 1011 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:24,680 Speaker 1: one piece, I think, because I do, not because freezers 1012 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:29,800 Speaker 1: don't stop activity. Yes, I've had big chunks of bear fat. 1013 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,120 Speaker 1: I froze big chunks of bear fat, fixing to render 1014 01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:35,160 Speaker 1: it later, and had bear fat actually go rancid in 1015 01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:41,880 Speaker 1: a freezer. Yeah, the fat. Question Number two on this 1016 01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:46,560 Speaker 1: is call fat. Now that's something. Sorry, you guys have 1017 01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:51,040 Speaker 1: hit Do we just blow a fuse? Um? No, I 1018 01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:54,720 Speaker 1: think that your freezer just just turned off, but not 1019 01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 1: like off off. It just turned off, as in you 1020 01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:00,640 Speaker 1: gave me a look. I thought we blew the fuse. 1021 01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:02,840 Speaker 1: Oh sorry, about to pick that back up? Go ahead, 1022 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 1: cow call fat? Can I can I touch on something 1023 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:10,200 Speaker 1: more about aging? Oh? Yeah, for sure, I also age. 1024 01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,520 Speaker 1: Here's again, I can't tell you like the scientific proof 1025 01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:15,000 Speaker 1: any of this stuff, but this is based on a 1026 01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 1: shipload of anecdotal evidence and experience and observations of trusted 1027 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,680 Speaker 1: close friends. I will also pull a piece of meat 1028 01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:26,960 Speaker 1: out of my freezer. Let's say on a Sunday, I 1029 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:33,040 Speaker 1: might though a block of meat out. Oh then rinse it, thought, 1030 01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,840 Speaker 1: rinse it, padded dry paper towels, put a big roast 1031 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,160 Speaker 1: on a rack, set over a dish, and put that 1032 01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:41,960 Speaker 1: in my fridge. No one that I'm gonna cook it 1033 01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:46,400 Speaker 1: in five or six days. So here it's already been butchered, frozen, thought, 1034 01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,160 Speaker 1: And now I'm doing a fridge age on it. Mm hmm, 1035 01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,120 Speaker 1: which I feel like it's helpful. I think you can 1036 01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,640 Speaker 1: because you asked, can you age too long? Right? Yeah, 1037 01:06:56,720 --> 01:07:00,320 Speaker 1: we're hanging out with a chef and we actually tried 1038 01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,480 Speaker 1: some of his meat and after we carved through many 1039 01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,960 Speaker 1: layers of really inedible stuff, is that what it was? 1040 01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:11,560 Speaker 1: And um and this and this was in a you know, 1041 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:20,240 Speaker 1: uh um, climate band humidity controlled but um, and it 1042 01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,360 Speaker 1: wasn't that the meat was bad. It was taste tasty. 1043 01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,920 Speaker 1: It was way different. You know, it's just not like 1044 01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 1: you're eating a deer steak anymore. But there was so 1045 01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,400 Speaker 1: much loss due to drying that you're kind of like, 1046 01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:36,520 Speaker 1: all right, well, now I have like of this meat left. 1047 01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 1: He found the too long. Yeah, he found it too long. 1048 01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:41,800 Speaker 1: But at the point is, you can go a long 1049 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,800 Speaker 1: time without going too long. But when you're cutting the 1050 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,160 Speaker 1: hoping it was an odd d shoulder, When you're cutting 1051 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 1: open the clod on an audad shoulder in order to 1052 01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,560 Speaker 1: get a piece of meat the size of a a stick. 1053 01:07:54,600 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 1: As a jolly rancher, it's like you've lost a lot, Yeah, 1054 01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:05,120 Speaker 1: from from and then so mule deer. I just I butchered, 1055 01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:10,560 Speaker 1: uh the mule dear that I got the in October. 1056 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:14,400 Speaker 1: And then I butchered two front shoulders, just the quarters. 1057 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:21,120 Speaker 1: Um uh that Scott Robinson got about ten days earlier. 1058 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:27,400 Speaker 1: And this was just on Saturday. And the difference in 1059 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:32,639 Speaker 1: the front shoulders, um just that ten days difference between 1060 01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:37,080 Speaker 1: so mine mine hung twenty five days, his hung thirty 1061 01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:45,080 Speaker 1: five days. Um. The shanks on his, I was, you know, 1062 01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:48,560 Speaker 1: kills me to leave any meat in there. But there 1063 01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:53,840 Speaker 1: they had reduced so substantially at for most folks probably 1064 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't be worth digging out that slivery good meat. So 1065 01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:02,599 Speaker 1: I've seen tenderloin's uh just vanished, Oh yeah, from hanging 1066 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,120 Speaker 1: too long. My old man who tells me that when 1067 01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:11,560 Speaker 1: he was young, younger, they would hang dear until it 1068 01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 1: had inches of mold on it. I don't know if 1069 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:20,080 Speaker 1: he was exaggerating inches instead of be covered in mold. 1070 01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,600 Speaker 1: And you'd cut that away and eat the meat off 1071 01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:24,679 Speaker 1: from underneath it. And do you think those were whole 1072 01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:29,200 Speaker 1: deer they had? Now we one time hung we one 1073 01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:32,479 Speaker 1: time hung a calf elk and never froze it, just 1074 01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:34,720 Speaker 1: ate it and that thing after hanging it was like 1075 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:38,320 Speaker 1: the perfect winter in the garage. And after a while 1076 01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:41,720 Speaker 1: you could jab your finger into the meat. I mean 1077 01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,320 Speaker 1: like you could literally burrow your finger into the meat. 1078 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:48,720 Speaker 1: They got that tender. Just perfect conditions blow a little 1079 01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:51,280 Speaker 1: bit below freezing at night, not much above freezing here 1080 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:54,000 Speaker 1: in the daytime. We was ate the whole sun bitch 1081 01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:57,679 Speaker 1: hanging there. Yeah, because you know the feeling on knees. Um. 1082 01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:03,240 Speaker 1: You know some majority blow free using nights um. You 1083 01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:07,120 Speaker 1: know basically what you're describing. But you know that those 1084 01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:11,439 Speaker 1: hind quarters were still. They weren't like frozen hard to 1085 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:16,559 Speaker 1: the touch, but you wouldn't call him soft. Yeah. I 1086 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:20,320 Speaker 1: killed a bowl in Kentucky, bullock in Kentucky. And because 1087 01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,160 Speaker 1: we were leaving from there to go to somewhere else 1088 01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,080 Speaker 1: to hunt. I had to have a processed, and the 1089 01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:27,320 Speaker 1: processor says, oh, I hang him for ten days. And 1090 01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:28,920 Speaker 1: he hung that out for ten days, and those suns 1091 01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:33,120 Speaker 1: bitches were still tough. Mhm. It was only later I 1092 01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:34,640 Speaker 1: threw him the freezer and forgot about him for a 1093 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:38,040 Speaker 1: few months and started snacking on him. They were good. Yeah, 1094 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,479 Speaker 1: all right, if you want to bring up a call fat, yeah, 1095 01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 1: call fat. Uh.

And because you guys have used 1097 01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:50,920 Speaker 1: it in some cooking specials and done it some cooking, 1098 01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,040 Speaker 1: done it in a lot of social media pictures. Yeah. 1099 01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,920 Speaker 1: I got interested in it because when I was working 1100 01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:58,960 Speaker 1: on my book, where I was talking a lot about 1101 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:03,880 Speaker 1: a Scopier, the great you know, famous master chef, French 1102 01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:09,120 Speaker 1: master Chef August Scopier. Who who comes up? Who's brought 1103 01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:13,840 Speaker 1: They bring him up in the movie Apocalypse.

He 1108 01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:37,439 Speaker 1: is explaining to Captain Willard that he studied sauces. He 1109 01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,320 Speaker 1: was a saucy a and culinary arts school in New 1110 01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:47,160 Speaker 1: Orleans and mentions the scopier it's a beautiful movie, best 1111 01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:51,360 Speaker 1: movie ever made, the best movie ever made. So anyhow 1112 01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,559 Speaker 1: call fats so oh no, no quick. I got interested 1113 01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,960 Speaker 1: in because the scofier cooks with it, duh, like sausages 1114 01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,360 Speaker 1: and stuff like that wraps me like the same way 1115 01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,559 Speaker 1: you use the turkey bag now or whatever. Just wrap 1116 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:05,240 Speaker 1: steaks and rolls and other stuff in the call fat 1117 01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:09,559 Speaker 1: to prevent moisture loss and add fat. So I'm doing 1118 01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,439 Speaker 1: uh this this coming weekend. I'm I'm I think I'm 1119 01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:17,719 Speaker 1: gonna smoke, I think, or just try to slow roast. 1120 01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:19,880 Speaker 1: I brought out that the onlier I got this year. 1121 01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:23,760 Speaker 1: I brought up the neck hole, which we lead into 1122 01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:28,599 Speaker 1: a CWD conversation. But I'm sure these folks will be fine. Uh, 1123 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:32,680 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna wrap that in the call fat is 1124 01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,120 Speaker 1: the plant and I got it is this is like 1125 01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:39,200 Speaker 1: super This thing is not started to rut. It's like 1126 01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:45,200 Speaker 1: super thick call fat um. But the main questions are, 1127 01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:50,080 Speaker 1: how do you get the call fat out um in 1128 01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:53,960 Speaker 1: one piece? Uh? Is it worth cleaning? Is it worth 1129 01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,320 Speaker 1: dealing with. I don't like the taste of deer fat. 1130 01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,479 Speaker 1: I personally like the taste of deer fat. I just 1131 01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:03,880 Speaker 1: think it's to be next to nuclear hot in order 1132 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,439 Speaker 1: because as soon as it cools down, it is like 1133 01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:11,400 Speaker 1: paraffin wax. Yeah, it's like that Simpsons were Homer drinks 1134 01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:13,559 Speaker 1: candle wax in order to better compete in the hot 1135 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:17,040 Speaker 1: Pepper eating cut is exactly. You cannot get that off 1136 01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:21,320 Speaker 1: your tongue, your teeth. Yeah, but when it's hot, I'll 1137 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:26,639 Speaker 1: eat it so um. Yeah, call fat, get it out? 1138 01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:28,360 Speaker 1: How to get it out? How to get it out? 1139 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:32,080 Speaker 1: You're gonna tell him? I think you should. You're you're 1140 01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:36,200 Speaker 1: the expert. Uh well, Yanni. I heard Yanni explaining to 1141 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:39,479 Speaker 1: someone there day, and Yanni's explaining, only even begin to 1142 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,960 Speaker 1: think about it. When you're shot is forward of the diaphragm. 1143 01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:45,160 Speaker 1: It's gotta be where everything's clean. It's like you open up, 1144 01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:50,040 Speaker 1: you're shot, enters and exits forward of the diaphragm. Doesn't 1145 01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:52,000 Speaker 1: matter where, but somewhere forward of the diaphragm, because you 1146 01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,479 Speaker 1: don't want any Everbody's gonna be all nicey nice in there. 1147 01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:57,680 Speaker 1: And when he brings up a point too, so you're 1148 01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,479 Speaker 1: gonna obviously got it to get the call fat when 1149 01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:05,080 Speaker 1: you go to gut it and don't, like, don't get 1150 01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:06,840 Speaker 1: all the way through your gutting to the point where 1151 01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,760 Speaker 1: you're cutting the track and yanking the guts out. At 1152 01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:12,639 Speaker 1: that point, you're too late. You're gonna get blood all 1153 01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,679 Speaker 1: over the call fat. You're gonna roll it out into 1154 01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,400 Speaker 1: the dirt and the grass. You need to just open 1155 01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:21,599 Speaker 1: the lower half like from the you know, diaphragm down 1156 01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:25,800 Speaker 1: you're treating this as an autopsy. Open that up and 1157 01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:27,519 Speaker 1: then say, okay, now I'm gonna take the time to 1158 01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,760 Speaker 1: get my call fat. Yeah. You can't butcher like they 1159 01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:36,600 Speaker 1: do in the Mel Gives the movie Apocalypto, or like 1160 01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:40,799 Speaker 1: how they butcher in the movie Red Dawn. In movies 1161 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,320 Speaker 1: and movies, when someone goes to butcher gut something, people 1162 01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:46,160 Speaker 1: that would definitely know better, like in the case of 1163 01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:52,479 Speaker 1: Apocalypto was the Mayan hunters um or in the case 1164 01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:55,559 Speaker 1: of Red Dawn, there was lifelong hunters who were trained 1165 01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:57,719 Speaker 1: up in the ways of Jet Smith. But when people 1166 01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:00,280 Speaker 1: want someone to butcher something in the movie, they like 1167 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:02,920 Speaker 1: to use a big knife and have people jab stuff 1168 01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:07,120 Speaker 1: because it's dramatic. They don't show what how you'd actually 1169 01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:10,559 Speaker 1: do it, which is surgical surgical, Like I said, you're 1170 01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:16,160 Speaker 1: performing a nice clean autopsy. Yeah, when I first started 1171 01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:20,200 Speaker 1: dealing with TV folks, they'd be disappointed when they saw 1172 01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,439 Speaker 1: how you want a knife you'd actually use. You'd be 1173 01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:28,040 Speaker 1: like they'd be like, oh, but could you do with 1174 01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:34,360 Speaker 1: a machete. They're just like, yeah, like really you do it. 1175 01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:37,400 Speaker 1: That's a little teeny thing. Oh slow and easy, you know, 1176 01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:41,839 Speaker 1: just stab it. So, um, yeah, you shoot it. Everything's 1177 01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:45,040 Speaker 1: for the diaphragms, there's no mass. It's laying on its back. 1178 01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:49,879 Speaker 1: This doesn't work with the gutless method. Um, you unzip 1179 01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:53,599 Speaker 1: it very carefully. First, just cut through the hide all 1180 01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 1: the way up and then lift the abdominal lining or 1181 01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,400 Speaker 1: the abdominal muscles. Cut those open all the way up. 1182 01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:02,000 Speaker 1: But before you cut the diaphragm back, you should open 1183 01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:06,360 Speaker 1: it up and just everything is wrapped up in lace 1184 01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:10,800 Speaker 1: fat or call fat. It's just this spider web cobweb 1185 01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:15,759 Speaker 1: looking membrane of fat that is a literally a sack 1186 01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:20,240 Speaker 1: around Yeah, the sack around the guts and on a 1187 01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:22,800 Speaker 1: good animal and good condition, it's like, holy sh it. 1188 01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:25,519 Speaker 1: There's a lot of fat in there on a bad 1189 01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:27,719 Speaker 1: animal and not a bad animal and animal and poor 1190 01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:30,559 Speaker 1: physical condition, who's exhausted as fat reserves. It's just it's 1191 01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:33,040 Speaker 1: like non existent. It's like really a thing. It's like 1192 01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:37,280 Speaker 1: a way they store fat. Agreed. But it's fun to 1193 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,280 Speaker 1: mess with. So because we're always talking about it, it's 1194 01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:41,400 Speaker 1: like part of why I like it is it's cool looking, 1195 01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,680 Speaker 1: it's fun, it's cool looking, it's interesting. It's a throwback 1196 01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:47,320 Speaker 1: to a bygone arrow. When people use it more often, 1197 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:51,120 Speaker 1: it's a good history lesson, it's good anatomy lesson. Um. 1198 01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 1: But anyways, I'm always talking about it. I'm always like 1199 01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:55,280 Speaker 1: kind of celebrating it, and it has like really appealing 1200 01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:57,400 Speaker 1: visual qualities and people are like, dude, I need to 1201 01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,519 Speaker 1: get some call fat. But I'll point out it's like 1202 01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,720 Speaker 1: it's a fun, interesting, educational thing to mess with. But 1203 01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:10,960 Speaker 1: it's it's tallowe yes, So is it worth it? It's 1204 01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:15,080 Speaker 1: fun to mess around with. Yes, I am looking at 1205 01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:19,840 Speaker 1: this call fat as it's gonna be super pretty beautiful 1206 01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:24,720 Speaker 1: and it's providing a bunch of lubricant to meat that 1207 01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:28,400 Speaker 1: doesn't have it for a little membrane. Yeah, And it's 1208 01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:32,360 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a relatively long cook on a 1209 01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:39,919 Speaker 1: big chunk of meat. So as any thoughts, um, Yeah, 1210 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:42,559 Speaker 1: because you got pinned down on this, you were saying 1211 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,200 Speaker 1: at Thanksgiving this year, I got pinned down a bottom 1212 01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:48,720 Speaker 1: the airport there to day, but a stranger. Yeah, And 1213 01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,360 Speaker 1: to that, I want to say that, Look, man, I 1214 01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:54,040 Speaker 1: think we're still maybe we've done it more than the 1215 01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:56,479 Speaker 1: average joe, but we're still kind of beginners with the 1216 01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:58,799 Speaker 1: whole call fat thing too. And I think we're learning 1217 01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:01,360 Speaker 1: because like that you did when we were on a 1218 01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:06,120 Speaker 1: falling neck, right, we chopped up a bunch of guts. Yeah, 1219 01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,719 Speaker 1: we had some tender loin in there too, and yeah, 1220 01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:12,240 Speaker 1: heart kidney, and then we wrapped and call fat and 1221 01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:16,599 Speaker 1: roasted over the open fire. But we use, like, you know, 1222 01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:20,519 Speaker 1: four square feet of call fat to wrap up two 1223 01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:23,559 Speaker 1: pounds of meat. It was too much call fat, right, 1224 01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:25,040 Speaker 1: if you had to do it again, would you do 1225 01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:26,720 Speaker 1: it with less? But I did because it just makes 1226 01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:30,160 Speaker 1: it strong or strong or stronger. Yeah. But so so 1227 01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 1: my point is that we're like learning, and I think 1228 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:34,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna learn like different things to do with it 1229 01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,360 Speaker 1: and proper amounts and sort of like the way to 1230 01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:39,760 Speaker 1: cook with it, and you know high heat, low heat, 1231 01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:41,760 Speaker 1: dada da da da, and you know maybe you roast 1232 01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:44,320 Speaker 1: in your neck over three hours in it. We're gonna 1233 01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure we'll learn something from this side. No, 1234 01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,400 Speaker 1: how did you guys do on the kidneys? I have 1235 01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:53,400 Speaker 1: not I have not nailed that. I think that they're 1236 01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:59,880 Speaker 1: good when they're better on younger animals by far. Like 1237 01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:02,800 Speaker 1: I've got to the point where like an old deer, 1238 01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:05,720 Speaker 1: do you noticed deers like old I don't mess the 1239 01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:08,160 Speaker 1: liver because the liver is so strong. I like it 1240 01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:10,880 Speaker 1: on young animals. And if you look at like any 1241 01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,720 Speaker 1: cookbook that's talking about like cooking with kidneys, they're insistent 1242 01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:18,559 Speaker 1: on young animals. People eat like lamb kidney. We shot 1243 01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:21,160 Speaker 1: a lamb in New Zealand. Have feral sheep in New Zealand. 1244 01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,839 Speaker 1: We shot a lamb New Zealand. Holy ship. Long as kidneys, 1245 01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:26,600 Speaker 1: everything is so good liver, but they just get stronger. 1246 01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 1: I think the older deer have a stronger liver. You 1247 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,000 Speaker 1: don't know, It's funny because it's just like rediscovered what 1248 01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,640 Speaker 1: we already knew when we were kids, Like pull the 1249 01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:38,320 Speaker 1: livers out of dere But Jared's like fawn liver. When 1250 01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:40,519 Speaker 1: you shot a six months old deer in the fall, 1251 01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:45,120 Speaker 1: it was like that liver was the money the shoot 1252 01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:46,960 Speaker 1: older deer. My mom would soak the liver and lemon 1253 01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:50,639 Speaker 1: juice to try to pull some of the funcation out 1254 01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:54,920 Speaker 1: of it to recover cover the call fat fats covered. Oh, 1255 01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,240 Speaker 1: I want to add another scofier thing. And I did 1256 01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:58,879 Speaker 1: this when I was working on my book about a scopier. 1257 01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:02,719 Speaker 1: I did it with a wild pig bladder scope would 1258 01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:08,439 Speaker 1: take bladders and rinse it out and then soak it 1259 01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:12,280 Speaker 1: in a little bit of a vinegar solution. Then you 1260 01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:16,080 Speaker 1: take a little game bird it's a squab, like a 1261 01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:18,639 Speaker 1: flightless street pigeon or game birds or any kind of thing, 1262 01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,559 Speaker 1: and take all kinds of good stuff to eat, like 1263 01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:27,720 Speaker 1: chop up onion, garlic, mushroom, other stuff like make like 1264 01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:33,879 Speaker 1: a mere poi carrot and put a game bird inside 1265 01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:37,760 Speaker 1: the bladder and pack all that that that mere poi like, 1266 01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:41,400 Speaker 1: pack that around it, all that sauteed carrot, mushroom, onion, garlic, 1267 01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:42,720 Speaker 1: all that stuff, and just pack it all the way 1268 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:47,160 Speaker 1: around there and tie the bladder shut and then just 1269 01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:49,760 Speaker 1: put that bladder with the bird living inside of it, 1270 01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:55,760 Speaker 1: poach it and broth, and the bladder turns like a 1271 01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:59,760 Speaker 1: rainbow color, and you just keep you're poaching the bird 1272 01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:02,599 Speaker 1: at a low temperature inside the bladder, and eventually, when 1273 01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:05,439 Speaker 1: it's time to eat, you snip open the bladder and 1274 01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:07,040 Speaker 1: take out the bird and all that stuff that you 1275 01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:11,160 Speaker 1: were cooking inside that bladder. So it's just like a 1276 01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:13,840 Speaker 1: way that you were He was like, because they weren't, 1277 01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:15,479 Speaker 1: you know, in his time, you weren't dealing with like 1278 01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,080 Speaker 1: synthetic liners and stuff. You're just used looking for like 1279 01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:21,040 Speaker 1: in that case, you're looking for a non per non 1280 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:27,519 Speaker 1: permeable membrane and the original Suvi Yeah, exactly exactly. In 1281 01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:30,080 Speaker 1: the in the absence of Suvie bags, he was using bladders, 1282 01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:33,679 Speaker 1: and I cook birds that way. It's fun. They're beautiful. 1283 01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:42,519 Speaker 1: Oh dude, yeah, look about it. Oh yeah, here's the 1284 01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:49,440 Speaker 1: guy Yanni was talking about um carrying combat gauze. Yeah, 1285 01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:53,000 Speaker 1: which is something used for like catastrophic injuries. Combat gauze 1286 01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:57,160 Speaker 1: when you just dealing with a like a accidental gunshot injury, 1287 01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:04,599 Speaker 1: severe puncture, get yourself wildly with an axe. Yeah, we 1288 01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,040 Speaker 1: were talking about how you put it over the wound, 1289 01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:09,519 Speaker 1: and an E M T who's dealt with a number 1290 01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:14,719 Speaker 1: of gunshot wounds in his day. Fellow named Nate rolled 1291 01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,920 Speaker 1: into be like no, no, no, no, no, no no, 1292 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,360 Speaker 1: you got it all wrong, and he sends us a 1293 01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:28,439 Speaker 1: video about how to apply combat GUSS. You pack pack 1294 01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:33,840 Speaker 1: the wound channel full of combat gus. The video, which 1295 01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:37,559 Speaker 1: is on a rubber fake arm, is disturbing. Yeah, he's 1296 01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,639 Speaker 1: packing the rubber fake arm and it makes you feel naxious. 1297 01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:48,759 Speaker 1: He produced his own video. It's like he's like putting 1298 01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:52,920 Speaker 1: it over. It doesn't do ship. You pack jamming in there, 1299 01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:56,880 Speaker 1: jamming in there. So you tell your buddy bite this stick. 1300 01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 1: Make people watch that video before they go on the woods. 1301 01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,960 Speaker 1: Bite you on this stick while I pack your wound 1302 01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,120 Speaker 1: full of gauze. That's why that hatchet is going to 1303 01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:11,400 Speaker 1: take another stick and jam your wound full of gauze 1304 01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:15,080 Speaker 1: with a stick. No, my finger, with your fingers that 1305 01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:17,840 Speaker 1: have late tass gloss, probably the right. I would use 1306 01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:22,040 Speaker 1: a stick. I would get a sharp stick and jam 1307 01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:31,120 Speaker 1: it full of gauze. So there's that ready for this one? 1308 01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:40,400 Speaker 1: Bring it positive or negative? Neither? All right? Vexing started 1309 01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 1: hunting four years ago. It's a fellow name is Zack. 1310 01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:44,920 Speaker 1: I've only had the chance to hunt two of those 1311 01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:48,160 Speaker 1: dear seasons. Now I understand all the legal stuff behind 1312 01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:51,120 Speaker 1: harvest and a dough. However, the ethics behind taking the 1313 01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:54,360 Speaker 1: dough that is around six months old has me in doubt. 1314 01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:56,799 Speaker 1: I had a chance to take a younger dommet, passing 1315 01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:59,840 Speaker 1: her before I felt like she was too young. And 1316 01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:02,679 Speaker 1: overthinking this, how do you view the ethics of hard 1317 01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:08,320 Speaker 1: and harvesting legal but clearly young animals. You're overthinking it, 1318 01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:13,280 Speaker 1: but you can really think on it because it's a recruitment, right. 1319 01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:15,320 Speaker 1: If you look at it, the young ones are the 1320 01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:19,360 Speaker 1: youngs that are are the animals that are likely the 1321 01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:22,439 Speaker 1: most likely to not make it through the winter. So 1322 01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:26,360 Speaker 1: quite possibly you could be taking an animal that will 1323 01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:30,400 Speaker 1: very well die. Yeah, So if you look at it 1324 01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:35,760 Speaker 1: from that perspective, that's like a freedough. It's better than 1325 01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:42,120 Speaker 1: removing a proven breeder. Correct. Definitely, your big does are 1326 01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:44,760 Speaker 1: the ones that we are most likely going to make 1327 01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:52,720 Speaker 1: it through the winter. It's a anthro pomorphousicism problem, yes, 1328 01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:57,560 Speaker 1: it is. It's anthropomorphism at at its best. If you 1329 01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:02,840 Speaker 1: look at it from a food perspective. You don't get 1330 01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:05,559 Speaker 1: that much. Yeah, you know, there's not as much meat. 1331 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:07,280 Speaker 1: And that's why I like to shoot big bucks. You 1332 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:13,600 Speaker 1: know what they say, big racks, big meat. But yes, yeah, no, 1333 01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:15,680 Speaker 1: I got a couple of problems with shooting the young one. 1334 01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:18,360 Speaker 1: It's done have anything to do with her not having 1335 01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:23,000 Speaker 1: like or him having uh, you know, enjoyed a full life. 1336 01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:26,719 Speaker 1: It's uh one, Yeah, you get like a white tail 1337 01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:32,400 Speaker 1: dove fun. I mean you're looking at it, maybe you well, yeah, 1338 01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:34,920 Speaker 1: thirty pounds a yield. Maybe it depends on it's how 1339 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:41,080 Speaker 1: late in the it's a big in the you know, September, noah, 1340 01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:44,320 Speaker 1: but it's could be half of if you shot a 1341 01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,280 Speaker 1: you know, a year old. Oh yeah, man, and then 1342 01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:50,280 Speaker 1: to the uh, you know what those young animals are 1343 01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:53,960 Speaker 1: just so mild people. Some people like that though. Yeah, 1344 01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:57,959 Speaker 1: they don't like your flavor. Yeah, if you like skinless 1345 01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:00,800 Speaker 1: chicken breast, then you know six months those white taild 1346 01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:05,280 Speaker 1: does or for you Germans Man, we learned this. They 1347 01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:07,040 Speaker 1: want to buy when they buy red deer out of 1348 01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:15,160 Speaker 1: Scotland went on, they want to buy ruddy stags. They 1349 01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:18,200 Speaker 1: like him high. That's what they call it. Remember the 1350 01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:23,080 Speaker 1: boars out of Texas. So he's saying, too, they get exported. Yeah, 1351 01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:29,280 Speaker 1: the stuff Americans don't want to touch. Yeah, so Mary's 1352 01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:31,160 Speaker 1: in Europe as like, yeah, send us all the ruddy 1353 01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:34,960 Speaker 1: old boars, we like them, high flavorful old mual to 1354 01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:39,920 Speaker 1: your back is I mean, I gave away of the 1355 01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,840 Speaker 1: elkay shot this year, and I'm not giving away any 1356 01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:44,759 Speaker 1: of the mule to your back high shot this year's 1357 01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:49,040 Speaker 1: too good. Uh. From the deer's perspective, it doesn't matter, 1358 01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:51,920 Speaker 1: Like a five year old buck is gonna be like, 1359 01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,760 Speaker 1: just shoot me. I don't care anymore. It's like from 1360 01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:57,280 Speaker 1: the deer's perspect of you're you're killing him. He's dead, 1361 01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:00,439 Speaker 1: all right. They want to live. There's no there's like 1362 01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:02,920 Speaker 1: they're not trying to A young one's not like, oh, 1363 01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,400 Speaker 1: on the prime of my life or just getting started life. Like, 1364 01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter where I think it comes from. 1365 01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:12,040 Speaker 1: Where the where the prejudice against your Where the idea 1366 01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:15,760 Speaker 1: that you shouldn't shoot fawns or does comes from? Because 1367 01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:17,200 Speaker 1: you have to start to step back and look at 1368 01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:20,880 Speaker 1: the history of wildlife, or in this case, the history 1369 01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:24,280 Speaker 1: of deer management in this country, where in the early 1370 01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,880 Speaker 1: late eighteen hunters early nine hunters, we had like wiped 1371 01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,760 Speaker 1: out white tailed deer in a lot of areas and 1372 01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 1: it was a long road to recover the species and 1373 01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:38,760 Speaker 1: bring it back to hontable numbers. We were able to 1374 01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:43,759 Speaker 1: keep hunting deer during the recovery because we just harvested box. 1375 01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:45,439 Speaker 1: So I want to grew up where you like your 1376 01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:48,759 Speaker 1: tag was good for like a buck, it was because 1377 01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,479 Speaker 1: you were trying to You were harvesting deer, shooting deer 1378 01:27:51,479 --> 01:27:55,360 Speaker 1: to eat, and shooting near for whatever um while still 1379 01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:57,400 Speaker 1: growing the population. Because when you shoot a box, you 1380 01:27:57,479 --> 01:28:02,439 Speaker 1: just you're removing one animal from the cool and as 1381 01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:04,880 Speaker 1: long as you have enough box left to make sure 1382 01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:09,120 Speaker 1: all the does get bred, you're fine. The key was 1383 01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:12,679 Speaker 1: saving your breeding age does, because if you shoot a buck, 1384 01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,000 Speaker 1: you're removing a deer from the population. When you kill 1385 01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:18,720 Speaker 1: a dough, you're killing her in every fond she will 1386 01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:22,839 Speaker 1: ever have. So once we got to recovery with deer 1387 01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:25,880 Speaker 1: and we got to where we've had, by some estimations, 1388 01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:30,200 Speaker 1: too many deer, and we started to say, man, now 1389 01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,000 Speaker 1: we got the opposite problem. Now we've got too many 1390 01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:34,600 Speaker 1: deer and they're causing a lot of conflicts with agricultural 1391 01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:39,320 Speaker 1: producers and car insures and people who have landscaping, and 1392 01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:41,960 Speaker 1: you know, we now have an obligation to lower to 1393 01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:45,879 Speaker 1: lesson deer numbers and also to control spread of disease 1394 01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:47,479 Speaker 1: and all kinds of other issues why you might want 1395 01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:50,839 Speaker 1: to cut your dear population back. We started to say, hey, guys, 1396 01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:53,800 Speaker 1: the whole not shooting dough thing, well, never mind. Now 1397 01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:55,960 Speaker 1: we're killing doughts. We're trying to lower deer numbers. And 1398 01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:58,280 Speaker 1: then there's been a lot of resistance to that. It 1399 01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:02,240 Speaker 1: still hangs out in some areas, it does. It. It's 1400 01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:05,519 Speaker 1: different growing up in I mean you talk about it 1401 01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:08,400 Speaker 1: a lot, right, Like all of a sudden you went 1402 01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:10,840 Speaker 1: from Michigan to Montana and it was like, I can 1403 01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:16,679 Speaker 1: kill how many deer? I mean, Um, when I first 1404 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:21,439 Speaker 1: started rifle antelope hunting, I I mean I shoot five 1405 01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:24,479 Speaker 1: a year. I think we used to go out, well, 1406 01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 1: me and my brother would had all analop hunt. We'd 1407 01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,880 Speaker 1: have six tags in our pocket, two buck tags, four 1408 01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:32,559 Speaker 1: door tags, three tags per right, and then that big 1409 01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:37,880 Speaker 1: winter kill happened and those days are over. Um, And 1410 01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:40,680 Speaker 1: then yes, you know, Sam, you could pick up you 1411 01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:44,120 Speaker 1: could the law really is you can shoot a total 1412 01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:48,720 Speaker 1: of seven deer in Montana, so one buck. There are 1413 01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:52,400 Speaker 1: some additional buck tags now but uh and then uh 1414 01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:55,200 Speaker 1: six dollars. Well in the Southeast as last states, you 1415 01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:59,639 Speaker 1: can kill a deer day too, dear day limited deer. Yeah, 1416 01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 1: carry the same tag around for the whole season. Doug 1417 01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:07,599 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, Doug Dring. He still has he still has 1418 01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:10,000 Speaker 1: people in his community here, like they just will not 1419 01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:12,280 Speaker 1: shoot a doll. They'll shoot every buck they ever lay 1420 01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:15,720 Speaker 1: their eyes on. Yeah, but they won't shoot a doll 1421 01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:20,280 Speaker 1: just because of growing up. But like Doug when he 1422 01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:22,400 Speaker 1: was growing up, when he was a little kid, if 1423 01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:23,720 Speaker 1: you saw a deer track, you went home and told 1424 01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:27,080 Speaker 1: your mom dad about it. It's amazing. Now they've got 1425 01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:32,840 Speaker 1: fifty year per square mile on good habitat. So yeah, 1426 01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:35,040 Speaker 1: I think this is uh yeah, it's more of a 1427 01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:39,640 Speaker 1: it's your personal ethics uh out there and it's just 1428 01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:44,120 Speaker 1: you so do you feel good about but the you know, 1429 01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:47,160 Speaker 1: those those tags exist for a reason. It's part of 1430 01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:50,639 Speaker 1: the management plan. Yeah, if you have faith in your 1431 01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:54,000 Speaker 1: state phishing Game agency and state fishing game agencies are 1432 01:30:54,080 --> 01:31:02,000 Speaker 1: not infallible. But I um am taking all things and 1433 01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:10,240 Speaker 1: considered and looking at all the alternative options. Um right now, 1434 01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:13,080 Speaker 1: I can say that like a good if you want 1435 01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:16,880 Speaker 1: to be an ethical hunter, a good starting place is 1436 01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:18,920 Speaker 1: to follow the rules as set forth by your state 1437 01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:23,360 Speaker 1: phish and Game agency and if they're teams of biologists 1438 01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:25,840 Speaker 1: have made a determination that you're not gonna be hurting 1439 01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:28,200 Speaker 1: anything by shooting a dough, and you might be helping 1440 01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:30,000 Speaker 1: something by shooting a dough. I wouldn't. And you want 1441 01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,639 Speaker 1: to shoot a doll, and that's in line with your 1442 01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:35,920 Speaker 1: personal plan, I wouldn't let any kind of other noise 1443 01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:38,800 Speaker 1: come in and influence your decision. I think we diverged 1444 01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:41,719 Speaker 1: a little bit because really the question really was about 1445 01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:46,519 Speaker 1: the age of that dough. Oh yeo, yeah, what I 1446 01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:48,400 Speaker 1: said that? I said, No, we touched on that and 1447 01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:50,599 Speaker 1: a lot, a whole lot more. Yeah, I said, they 1448 01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:52,960 Speaker 1: don't get like more wanting to get shot as they 1449 01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:58,479 Speaker 1: get older. You know, like doll is never gonna be 1450 01:31:58,520 --> 01:32:02,200 Speaker 1: like oh bro, last year I would have run away, 1451 01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:05,760 Speaker 1: but now you know I'm too. But to wrap it up, 1452 01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:10,559 Speaker 1: there are no ethics about shooting. There's no there's no 1453 01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:17,560 Speaker 1: like ethical issue about shooting young deer or young squirrels. Yeah, 1454 01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:19,960 Speaker 1: do you ever met anybody says I'm not gonna shoot 1455 01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:25,840 Speaker 1: a young squirrel. That's just something that never happens. And 1456 01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:29,559 Speaker 1: in pheasants, it's like people get cited about shooting older pheasant, 1457 01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:33,439 Speaker 1: but the younger ones are good. The older ones holy smokes. 1458 01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:37,200 Speaker 1: But I definitely yeah, you gotta cook them. But it's 1459 01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:39,320 Speaker 1: still cool when you shoot a real old one. As 1460 01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:43,679 Speaker 1: far as table fair, the youngsters, birds of the year, 1461 01:32:44,160 --> 01:32:48,600 Speaker 1: bird of the year born that spring, all right, I 1462 01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:51,200 Speaker 1: still got a giant stack of mail here in my hand. 1463 01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:56,320 Speaker 1: But uh, we should do another loose Ends sometime.

It was 1481 01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:03,040 Speaker 1: like our most highly controversial post. And I absolutely love 1482 01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,519 Speaker 1: that because people were just like, that's not how you 1483 01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:08,720 Speaker 1: treat me. Other folks like, yeah, I've been there, Like 1484 01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:12,840 Speaker 1: you gotta cool it down somehow on great. Yeah. So yeah, 1485 01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:16,880 Speaker 1: the the audience, from my distant position of not knowing 1486 01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:19,080 Speaker 1: the situation, I will tell you that that's not how 1487 01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:22,479 Speaker 1: you treat me. Yeah, No, it is not ideal. It 1488 01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:27,240 Speaker 1: is not ideal. We gotta improvise, especially when you're doing yourself, 1489 01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:30,400 Speaker 1: you dude, we've had it so bad. We had like 1490 01:34:31,080 --> 01:34:34,160 Speaker 1: throw meat in the creek. Yeah, and you just cringe 1491 01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:39,320 Speaker 1: right flies, and then you're thinking about like sediment working 1492 01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:42,720 Speaker 1: its way and in the meat and just it's like 1493 01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:45,439 Speaker 1: in the eighties were like hunting doll sheep. It's like 1494 01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:47,599 Speaker 1: in the eighties during the day, you can't see because 1495 01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:52,280 Speaker 1: all the smoke from fires, burning flies on everything. We're 1496 01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:53,479 Speaker 1: just in the middle of the day. It's starting to 1497 01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:55,120 Speaker 1: stun to come up, we just go down and sinking 1498 01:34:55,160 --> 01:34:58,160 Speaker 1: the creek, or go up to a snow field, burying 1499 01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:00,200 Speaker 1: in the snow. Spent most of our time just trying 1500 01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:04,200 Speaker 1: to manage meat. Not ideal. So I'd be like, hey, 1501 01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:07,280 Speaker 1: you can't throw meat in the creek, but the picture 1502 01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:09,040 Speaker 1: would have been way worse.
