WEBVTT - Ep. 103 Thirteen Bullets

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:13.320
<v Speaker 1>This is me eat your podcast coming at you shirtless, severely,

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>bug bitten and in my case, underwear listening n E podcast,

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>you can't predict anything presented by first light. Go farther,

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>stay longer, All right? Start? What why? Why are you

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.559
<v Speaker 1>guys uncomfortable? How? How I'm sitting at a desk like

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>an evening newscaster. Well you have your pants on, right? Yes? Okay,

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 1>because nowadays there was a time when you could do that,

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>but nowadays you need to have I'm at a desk

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>with a computer and papers in front of me, and

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>it's intimidating to uh Ryan Callahan and Janice Poodles. It is.

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>It's seems like we're just not all part of the

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>conversation here. I'm not to swivel. Well, I'm leading from

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>over here at this desk. Like the old time. There

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>was a time when America would tune in at night

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>in a and a middle aged white gentleman would explain

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>to you what's going on in the world, and it

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>was a shared experience, and oftentimes they were pantless. And

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>we're hearkening back to those days with me here at

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>this desk with these pieces of paper. Um Callahan, do

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you remember the last time we spoke, we talked about

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a fellow by the name of Kaido. Oh. He was

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>breaking down how he does sushi salmon. That he berries

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>it in kashr salt for eight minutes. So he takes

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>a fish flat skin on, berries it in kashr salt

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.639
<v Speaker 1>for eight minutes. There's berries in salt for eight minutes.

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 1>And then rinse is the flay, and that's where you

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>how you get buttery. Yeah, I feel like he must

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>have broken some unspoken rule, like some smoking mirrors of

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>the sushi industry. Everybody's blown away by that. He wrote back,

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>he wants you to know this. Yes, that's what he does.

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.959
<v Speaker 1>We did not have it wrong. He says, he does

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 1>half flay's um, leaves the skin on it when he

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>salts it. Cat he thinks it controls a little bit

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>of the moisture loss. And then he says when because

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>you gotta pull the pin bones pull him after you

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 1>salt the flame. So cover the whole flay in salt.

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Count to count what's eight times sixty? That is a

0:02:54.680 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>hard math problem. Count to four and then the count

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 1>to four like one Mississippi four times. Then rinse all

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the salt off, then pull the the then pull the pinbones,

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>because he said absolutely no longer than ten minutes. Tracks. Yeah,

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>And he says that when you pull those pinbones, it

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't do any damage to the meat. It's just they

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>just slip right out. I've seen that, because if you

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>freeze a flay and then pull the pinbones after you

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>freeze it, it it does a lot less damage. It loses

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>its grip on the pin bones. When you pin bone

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.959
<v Speaker 1>a fresh fish, you're pulling up little popsicles. Yes, bone

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>with meat hanging off the end. Yeah, you can make

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>him look like junk fast. What he also says is this,

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and I do. I learned this from my old man. Well,

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>my old man learned it from Eugene Grotors. Lord knows

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>where Eugene grots learned it from. But when he's handling

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>salmon flays, and this kind of goes for all fish flays,

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>he makes a hole at the tail through the skin

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>to make a little finger gripper hole, and that's how

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>he handles it. He doesn't carried around by holding the

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>meat and doesn't maneuver it that way. He makes at

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the tail cuts a little hole and that's how it

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>isn't that isn't that right? Yeah, it's back me up.

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 1>We make a little finger hole and fish flats oftentimes

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 1>to tote them around and to skin him because he

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>gives you something to grab onto. He says, he does that.

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:24.919
<v Speaker 1>This from a this from a full on sushi chef. Um.

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>That way you handle the flay, all the stresses on

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the skin and not on the meat. The skin never breaks.

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>He goes on to say this Callahan, He says, it

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>spells your name right. Loves to use call fat. He

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.720
<v Speaker 1>soaks it in buttermilk to purge it and flavor it.

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>He likes to add a tablespoon of old bass spice

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>mix to the buttermilk and then soak his call fat

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>in air and also his liver. That's gonna make a

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>young Ford van Fasten at the First Light office very happy.

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>He's a Marylander and he thinks the sun rises and

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 1>sets on old bay. Uh. That's good ship. I like it,

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean for like just like an all purpose It's

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>right up there with Tony Seas. Oh yeah, I think

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>it is very distinct, No, from my desk, from my

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 1>desk in a in a position that would suggest authority

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>over those around me, No, Tony sees. I don't know

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>why we always called Uncle Tom's seasoning. I have no

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 1>idea where that came from, Like something to do with

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Tom's cabin. But um, Tony, how does it? Someone?

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 1>You know what? I had some Cajun boys I said

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:42.919
<v Speaker 1>that one time. Some Cajun boys told me that I

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 1>had it. I was so far off I don't even

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>say it anymore. Oh yeah, I get shell shocked by cherries.

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 1>That's not it, Sash. No family is safe when I

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 1>say that's a rock song. But that stuff? You like

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Old Bay as much as that? Yeah, in its place

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>for sure. Yeah, that's because you hang out in North

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Carolina all the time. I like. I eat a lot

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 1>of seafood too, from North Carolina. That's what I'm saying.

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>They probably use a lot of Old Bay down there.

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Not a ton My father in law doesn't. He likes it,

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:26.359
<v Speaker 1>playing it simple, you know. Kido also says this on

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the subject of Morrell's he's talking to you and this, well,

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>he's talking to me and this. He spells your name

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>right in my name wrong. He spells me Steve ste

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 1>a v e Um. He says Morrell's Yeah, man, you

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>gotta rinse them place, don't run water over him. He

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>places them in water, let some salt for a while,

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:53.119
<v Speaker 1>the dirt falls away, and then he lifts them out

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>of the water gently. Is a denser than the mushroom

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff and will sink to the bottom. And he doesn't

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>then use that water. If he does, he just imagine,

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 1>just use the top and not get down in the silt.

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.479
<v Speaker 1>I told you guys this year that the few that

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>we found last spring turkey hunting, um, I did the

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>steam and freeze method and uh just had them frozen. Bay.

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I froze them on cookie sheets and then when once

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 1>they were frozen and dried, I just threw them into

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>gallons ziplock bags and uh, great products. Very happy when

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>it came back. I messed around freeze mushrooms. Was never

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>that happy about it steaming and freeze. So uh. Another

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>little thing I noticed is you really don't have to

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 1>go to cheese cloth if you want to reserve that liquid,

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>because as you reduce that all those heavy parts, once

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 1>it gets down to like the bottom inch of liquid,

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>they just start plaster into the side of your saucepan.

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh really, yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, I mean it is

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>clean as clean as a whistle. Yeah, uh, can I

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>tell you a little more? Call fat? A uh emergency

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>room doctor wrote in from Jackson, Michigan. He's an emergency

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>room doctor in Jackson does an ann arbor. He says

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>there's something we need to know about. The couple things

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>we should know about. Speaking of call fat, he says

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>humans have something similar to call fat Anatomically, it's called

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 1>momentum okay, and it hangs off the greater curvature of

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the stomach and an overweight people, this cann cottain considerable

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 1>size due to fat deposition. When cleaning our dear, he

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 1>gives a basic anatomy class to his hunting tribe and

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 1>reminds him how similar human anatomy is the white tails

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and most mammals for that matter. And he says, there's

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.959
<v Speaker 1>some words we ought to know about for the stuff

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 1>we like to talk about. The paritoneal cavity is everything

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>below the diaphragm. The pair it to neil cavity that

0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>contains below the diaphragm is in uh diaphragm to an

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:11.800
<v Speaker 1>section Yeah downstream downstream um that's having deliver large and

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 1>small intestines spleen stomach and everything. So the pair ton

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>neal cavity when you're gutting a deer is below above

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>upstream is the thoracic cavity. This is where you got giosophagus,

0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>heart lungs, and your great vessels like the aorta and

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>vena cavin in Scotland. Hunted in Scotland one time with

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the gamekeeper and they have a thing called like a

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>They like they got deer out in the field. They

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>got dear only below the diaphragm. You know what I'm saying,

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Like it's like the word they uses, like the glad.

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:59.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, glad. I'm screwing it up just because

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the diaphragm is holding everything else. All this stuff that's

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna sour fast is blow. You get all that out.

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>But then in the field you don't got diaphragm up

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>anything with the esophagus. They pull that, they cut the

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>windpipe or anything like that and pull the windpipe out.

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Remember this stuff is not gonna sit around though, But

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I remember it was like that was He's like when

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 1>you got something, they got it like that, And we

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 1>got the parrot tonal and thrasc we remove the contents

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.440
<v Speaker 1>of both the parrots and neil and thoracic cavities, and

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>those guys just removed the contents of the parrot toneal cavity.

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>He goes on to have a whole lot to say

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>about getting poisoned by mushrooms man harrowing stuff which I'll

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.559
<v Speaker 1>not get into right now. Um quick, oly thing I

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 1>want to touch on just from like feedback to feedback.

0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I had two guys right in to say that in

0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the old days, no one bled Wally, but now people

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 1>bleed Walleye. This guy says, about ten years ago everyone

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 1>in lake Erie started bleeding Walleye. This guy says the

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>same thing. He fishes the western basin of Lake Erie,

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 1>and he says, twenty years ago no one bled Walleye.

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Nowadays everyone bleeds Wally. They're using buckets of slash ice

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and getting real particular about field care in Lake Erie.

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 1>He says, better text your better flavor. When he got

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>when he bleeds him, he says, the meats whiter and

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 1>firmer fish last longer. I have not actually been able

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>to detect a flavor, and those ultra white fish. But yeah,

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I know you complain about Walleye about that, well, here's

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>how he does. Here's how he handles his walleye. Standard

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 1>practice is unhooked legal fish clip the front of the

0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 1>gills with pruners. Picture he's talk about where to come

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>up together. Okay, right, blow the chin and then drop

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the fish head first into a five gallon bucket half

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 1>filled with water. Fish and bleed out and dive very quickly.

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Then it's removed and iced. He's enjoying great success with

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 1>that method. That's cool. That's really cool. Now here's the

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 1>guy saying that when he breaks something and gotta fix it.

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 1>He says, so it not with thread, you dumbass, but

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 1>with braided fishing line. Here's a guy. Wants to know

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 1>your guy's opinion on this. It's smart. Yeah, dental floss,

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 1>he says, this is better than donal floss. Downal floss

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>strong step, braided fishing line strong. Yeah, but you don't

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>flash your teeth. I know, but yeah, I carry donal

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>floss and do my field repairs with dental floss. I've

0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.839
<v Speaker 1>got field repairs. I made a way ago. I sold

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 1>my sling up a long time ago with dental floss.

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I carry a little mini travel dental floss in my

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 1>kit into the back of that. I stitch a needle

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:15.079
<v Speaker 1>meant for like fixing sailboat sails. It's got a curve

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to it because little kids carry needles because they think

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>they watched Rambo and they think you're gonna sell yourself up.

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.319
<v Speaker 1>I've heard from doctors that that's not the way to

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>go about it. When you give yourself stitches, the first

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 1>thing they're gonna do when you get to the doctors

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>undo those stitches because it's just not properly cleaned in there.

0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 1>You're you're holding holding the nasty stuff. My friend who

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.439
<v Speaker 1>is a doctor, stitched their own dog up one time

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 1>when we were hunting, and they even undid those stitches

0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that were done by a doctor to get everything sterile

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.719
<v Speaker 1>in there and then do a redo. But we used

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.680
<v Speaker 1>to all dream because Rambo stitched his arm, and we

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 1>used to all dream of stitching getting it if you

0:13:58.120 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 1>would be so lucky as to get into a sitchy

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.679
<v Speaker 1>age where you could sell yourself back up, and then

0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you could point to it at some party later and like,

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I know that looks a little rough, but understand that

0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I did that. I have a um coincidental counter story

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:17.839
<v Speaker 1>because my cousin was somewhere deep in Colorado, not real

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>bad country, but like what do you call it, like

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 1>four World drive back country right across some slick spots

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot. And they got to a spot and they

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 1>got to a snow drift and there was like some

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>trees down and anyways, they're chopping their way through it,

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:35.359
<v Speaker 1>and he put a hatchet right into his shin. Yeah,

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and they I don't know the reason that they didn't

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>just leave, but they stitched them up and they stayed,

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and uh. He got to the hospital a couple of

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 1>days later, and they were like, good job, excellent, don't

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>need to do anything here. Bullshit, really really all right,

0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>here's one was it? Because they looked at him, they

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 1>were like, well, you're not gonna be able to pay

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 1>for this anyway. So maybe I feel like there was

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 1>an argument to that there was gonna be maybe more

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 1>damage done by going in there and messing around anymore

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 1>and trying to reopen the moon, especially after that, you know,

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the time of whatever forty eight hours or more had

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 1>passed that there was some sort of thinking like that,

0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 1>let's say you're out hunting, you're out picture it. Yep,

0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm setting the scene you're out hunting? How many bullets

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 1>you got with you? This is a great question. What

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 1>is the reasoning for this number? And what arguments have

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>guys had on the topic over the years? How many

0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>bullets are you toting around out in the woods. Can't

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.360
<v Speaker 1>believe we haven't covered this. I cannot believe we've never

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 1>talked about because I have very ah strong conflicted feelings

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.440
<v Speaker 1>on the subject. Do you remember the last second to

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:58.120
<v Speaker 1>last time we hunted B C. And we were up

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 1>on the mountain and this question just kind of came

0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 1>up between Aaron, yourself and myself. All three of us

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 1>had thirteen rounds total days. Do you remember? No? I don't.

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I wish I remembered because that number feels good to me.

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 1>The number feels good to me. It's an unlucky number,

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>which I don't believe in. Don't maybe we all have

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 1>thirteen rounds because everyone knows that twenties too many? And

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 1>ten Because here's the thing, I start to, Okay, get

0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 1>on a couple of issues. Well you go first. Why

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll get around to why I carry thirteen around? Why

0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I carry around thirteen? Okay, three rounds in the magazine?

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's why it's thirteen, uh three rounds in your

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 1>pocket or someplace quick access too in my pack, two

0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 1>in my my hip pouch and me and three in

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the mag two in the pouch. You got at least

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:06.399
<v Speaker 1>two tags on most long huns, so that could be

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, one to three rounds per animal if things

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 1>get sideways, and then if you fall on your butt

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 1>and you whack your scope, you want a couple of

0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:22.480
<v Speaker 1>rounds to sight back in with. Right, That's one of

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 1>the things in my head. How that adds up to

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 1>in my brain when I'm packing from my pack, Well,

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what I'll touch on. Two is um

0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:37.119
<v Speaker 1>that there's uh societal collapse while I'm out, and I

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.600
<v Speaker 1>gotta reckon with that. So here I am, society has collapsed,

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.359
<v Speaker 1>ammunition value goes away. I'm like I have, I'm gonna

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 1>be residing in the mountains now for the foreseeable future

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 1>until I can sneak my way in and rescue my family.

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.800
<v Speaker 1>So then I got a factor that and add another

0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:56.600
<v Speaker 1>one another boulder two for that. So that's that's your

0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>like little equation. Yes, that's it. But that would mean

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 1>that if you only had a teg. Let's say you

0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 1>don't have a deer tag and elk teg you got

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 1>oh teg, you got oh dear tag? Do you then

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:12.399
<v Speaker 1>take some out it would be yeah, by that it

0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 1>would be reduced by three. Yeah. I mean, so you

0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:22.879
<v Speaker 1>do the you you calculate that carefully. No, I really don't.

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.880
<v Speaker 1>It's just and that's the question. It's like, that's typically

0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 1>what I end up with in my between my person

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 1>and my pack. How I get there? I do not know.

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 1>These numbers are definitely more of like backpack, Like I

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:38.320
<v Speaker 1>can't get back to the truck tonight, Like I'm like

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 1>in there for a week, So if I haven't bought

0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 1>my sculp, I gotta deal with it out here. No,

0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.600
<v Speaker 1>because I do the same thing even day hunting. Yeah,

0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 1>even day hunting. Um, where it's like I leave my

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.199
<v Speaker 1>vehicle before daylight and I know I'll get back to

0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:58.879
<v Speaker 1>my rig after dark. I will find myself still carrying

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 1>around the same number and I'm gonna explain how I've

0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 1>come to it or like sort of the loose math

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm running in my head. Um, but yeah, what's your number?

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I would say that, Yeah, if I'm out there for

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 1>like if it's like a big hunt and we're backpacking

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>staying out there, I'm probably like full mag so if

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 1>that's three or four rounds, and then I've probably just

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:29.200
<v Speaker 1>got a sleeve of ten um. You know. Lately we've

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 1>been shooting Federal ammo, which but before shooting Federal I

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>would just have reloaded stuff. So sort of depend on

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 1>what sort of container I had. So if the container

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 1>held eight, I'd probably have just had eight. But just

0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.240
<v Speaker 1>some way that I can organize it. You know, I

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:49.280
<v Speaker 1>like to run those little stock pouches and sheet um.

0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.920
<v Speaker 1>But man, I mean, don't talk about having a play.

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:54.680
<v Speaker 1>You don't have, no do I have like bullets hanging

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.320
<v Speaker 1>off my stock. It's like a like a bullet losing device.

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Deal looks you know, look so oh you don't care.

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Like the bandelier look no, no, no, it looks so

0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 1>put together. And Benny O'Brien was running one of those bandeliers. Yeah,

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess what, because he was carrying a honest pitelis

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 1>rigged rifle. It's like I call like an ammunition dispersal device.

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 1>Know that one does have it on the outside, and

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that is a flaw um. But the

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:24.320
<v Speaker 1>other one I have, and I think I gave you

0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:26.919
<v Speaker 1>one like that, the one from Pig Tactical. It's zipped

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.040
<v Speaker 1>in the power when I use. When I use that,

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I keep the ones that I would normally keep in

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the hip belt of my pack and the hip pouch

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 1>my pack in that thing, because usually if you're in

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 1>this situation where things got as as I don't know

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:45.560
<v Speaker 1>who coined the term, but Scott little Western squirrely. And

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:47.679
<v Speaker 1>when I think they say Western, they're talking about like

0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe a Western movie shootout. No, I think they mean

0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:54.480
<v Speaker 1>just anything gone haywire. Because people that use people that

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:57.400
<v Speaker 1>that use uh, they'll use it anything like like people

0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 1>will say, um be running lions and like, oh the

0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:03.639
<v Speaker 1>things got a little Western. I when I hear them,

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:05.440
<v Speaker 1>like oh the dog's got a new fight with a cat.

0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 1>If someone packs horses, things got a little Western, Like

0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.240
<v Speaker 1>oh the horses freaked out and ran down the hill

0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:16.359
<v Speaker 1>and scattered gear everywhere, gear everywhere. I got all tangled up,

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 1>kick someone in the face. Okay, Well, let's say you

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:23.440
<v Speaker 1>get into what I'm saying that a synonym is squirrely, yeah,

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 1>or shootout except no, because someone told me they got

0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 1>into a shootout, I'd be like I was like holy

0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:32.639
<v Speaker 1>people are shooting back at you. The deer were so,

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like, um, you want to have those

0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 1>extra rounds close and like top of the top pack

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.560
<v Speaker 1>or top pouch on your pack. It's probably kind of

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:45.120
<v Speaker 1>a close spot. But man on the stock your gun

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:48.399
<v Speaker 1>is super close to where they need to go to

0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 1>get more rounds down range. You know. Um, But I'd

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 1>say for day hunt, I'm probably like full mag plus

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:58.440
<v Speaker 1>another pocket full of three or four maybe two full max.

0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:01.280
<v Speaker 1>So probably day hunt. If I'm going dawn to dusk,

0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:03.639
<v Speaker 1>i might be down to seven or eight. But if

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm going back country for a week or whatever five days,

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 1>then it's uh in that thirteen range full magplus ten.

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Something to think about as far as like your m

0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, cartridge containers, sleeves, um, you know the ones

0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 1>that like hook on your belt and stuff like that.

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I've found one time, I've I watched a kid go

0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 1>after his mantelope and he had a full box of

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:36.359
<v Speaker 1>ammunition in one hand, rifle in the other. Stop to

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:39.959
<v Speaker 1>make his first shot, put the box ammo down and

0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:44.120
<v Speaker 1>continued off into the prairie without his box ammo. Um.

0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 1>So I I found that and I just put it

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:50.399
<v Speaker 1>on his truck hood. Uh, but then I've found two

0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:55.240
<v Speaker 1>other like cartridge containers, like in the back country, like

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 1>going up a trail, and the same exact thing must

0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 1>have happened. Somebody stopped, did some shooting. I had to

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 1>pull out their sleeve anu and then took off. Yeah.

0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:10.199
<v Speaker 1>We one time climbed up this is on the Arctic slope,

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 1>like where no one's around, and there's a mound of

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:15.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of like a like a little like a like

0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:18.520
<v Speaker 1>a little knob, like a little glass and tip with

0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 1>a smooth thing on there. And you're out in the Arctic,

0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 1>right and climb up there, and sure enough some lost

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.320
<v Speaker 1>couple of bullets up top there, lost couple shells up there.

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:30.679
<v Speaker 1>But my my thinking at it like I've arrived at

0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:34.159
<v Speaker 1>the same number, and it's it plays out in my

0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 1>head like this. I don't want them. I don't need

0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:41.320
<v Speaker 1>a whole box, right, I don't need a whole box.

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 1>So what will happen is I'll put three in my magazine,

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:47.479
<v Speaker 1>not one in the chamber, but I'll put three my magazine.

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 1>There's three. But then I'm thinking in my head, a

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of things could happen. You could even lose the magazine.

0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:58.879
<v Speaker 1>It's happened where you're all hunting if you have a

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:01.399
<v Speaker 1>detachable magazine all of a sudden. I used to be

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:03.720
<v Speaker 1>so paranoid about it. I would put my magazine in

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and then I would put a piece of duct tape

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 1>that wrapped up around each side to secure that. Man,

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I was so paranoid about dropping that magazine. Major complaint.

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I think, Well, I had word of those goofy remming

0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 1>to Model seven hundreds a long time ago, and it

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:21.880
<v Speaker 1>had like exposed buttons that would drop the magazine. I mean,

0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 1>you'd look at that thing, funny in the magazine would

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:26.680
<v Speaker 1>come out. So I used to duct tape that thing

0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:29.879
<v Speaker 1>on and I'd put a whole stock on there so

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:32.399
<v Speaker 1>the duct tape would grab that stock material. And I

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:34.639
<v Speaker 1>was so nervous about losing that thing all the time.

0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd click it in there and put a piece of

0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:37.240
<v Speaker 1>tape on it. I can still get it off in

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 1>a hurry, but in a in a situation like that,

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna be reloading that anyways. Then you're just

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 1>dropping single rounds. And yeah, you know, like I don't

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:46.480
<v Speaker 1>need it. I don't need to be able to get

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the magazine off in her. I'm not gonna pull them.

0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna, in the heat of the moment, pull

0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:52.639
<v Speaker 1>the magazine. Now, reload the magazine, stick the magazine back in.

0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna be dropping in singles. But what if

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:58.879
<v Speaker 1>you had a second magazine, sure, and that's how you

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 1>carried your three extra hounds in your pocket. I still

0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't because then I'd be like, yeah, I'm not gonna

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:05.879
<v Speaker 1>told that magazine round. Then what I do? So I

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:10.159
<v Speaker 1>got nobody I ever knew until like this day and

0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 1>age ever thought the seventy bucks for another magazine was.

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Everybody was like, yeah, that'd be nice, but ever wanted

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 1>to pay it. I just never had a detachable magazine gone.

0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 1>But I kind of almost went that route one time

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:27.960
<v Speaker 1>just so I could because I saw it in action

0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:31.880
<v Speaker 1>once where the dude I was like, I had tagged out.

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:34.639
<v Speaker 1>The client was like the last day, it was a

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 1>great hunt. We uh in the morning, it's the fifth

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:39.720
<v Speaker 1>day of the hunt. And in the morning we're all

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:41.960
<v Speaker 1>jacked up, drinking coffee, getting ready to go out, and

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:44.879
<v Speaker 1>we got one tag left to go and out walks

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:47.359
<v Speaker 1>one of the clients and he's got like dress shirt

0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:50.880
<v Speaker 1>on press Khaki's like ready to go to the airport.

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:54.680
<v Speaker 1>We're like, what's up. He's like I'm done. I'm done.

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:56.639
<v Speaker 1>It ain't happening for me. We're like, we got a

0:25:56.680 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 1>whole day, bro, let's go Nope, nope, nope no. So

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:04.240
<v Speaker 1>it like literally takes us to wait after first light

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:07.040
<v Speaker 1>until we're like get your gear on. All his buddies

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 1>like rally and we get out there and it's just

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:12.640
<v Speaker 1>one of those weird mornings where like ten am, there's

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 1>a five point bull out feeding in the quake. He's

0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:16.720
<v Speaker 1>like the first ridgie peak over and we're like, see

0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:18.679
<v Speaker 1>he told you, you know, all you have to do

0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 1>is get out here. But Ethan, who you met this

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 1>year in Colorado, was carrying his ax the guy's extra magazine,

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and he shoots, shoots, shoots, shoots, and then literally it

0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:33.399
<v Speaker 1>was like I just saw his hand come up and

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Ethan goes and that extra mag like gets put in there,

0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:40.159
<v Speaker 1>and somewhere down the line of you know, six or

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 1>seven shot, finally he hit him, and UM, yeah, see

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:48.359
<v Speaker 1>here part of what I'm doing all this like math

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 1>in my head. I don't go out like I'm like

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I need one of these bullets. Like to go out

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:57.879
<v Speaker 1>making a plan about how much shooting you're gonna do.

0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you've already and as a lab Vian,

0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 1>you'll appreciate this. You've already set You've already sent a

0:27:04.640 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 1>message out into the universe to be like that. You've

0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:13.880
<v Speaker 1>got it all planned out about how much, just how

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 1>many bullets you're ready to shoot. But you don't plan

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:18.600
<v Speaker 1>for the best of times. You have to plan for

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 1>the worst of time. Hear me out, I am, but

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going into it. Fixate on how I'm gonna

0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:28.400
<v Speaker 1>get maximum rounds out the end of the barrel. Right,

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:34.359
<v Speaker 1>I put my three my magazine, then I in my

0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:37.880
<v Speaker 1>hip belt. I used to put two in my hip

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:42.479
<v Speaker 1>pouch on my pack. Now I like to depending my

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:47.480
<v Speaker 1>binal harness has a little pocket, right, and I'll put

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 1>often one there because that's with me. Like no matter what,

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:54.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't like to leave my pack. I don't like

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to like get up and be like, okay, you know this,

0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:00.520
<v Speaker 1>next hills the hill, let's leave our packs. I don't

0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:01.920
<v Speaker 1>like to like to keep my pack with me because

0:28:01.920 --> 0:28:03.400
<v Speaker 1>you just never know whe're gonna wind up when things

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:08.399
<v Speaker 1>go bad. But like I took one there and nowadays.

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I took one there, and I took one in the

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:12.960
<v Speaker 1>hip pouch of my pack. So I got three of

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the magazine, one right here, one right there, So I

0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:18.919
<v Speaker 1>got them all over to damn place, and then I

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:22.960
<v Speaker 1>got Then I take a sleeve half of a box

0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's in my pack. And what I am prepared

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:32.159
<v Speaker 1>for is if I'm hunting with other people, I'm especially

0:28:32.200 --> 0:28:35.159
<v Speaker 1>like wanting them because I'm picturing that they're gonna cripple

0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:39.800
<v Speaker 1>up something and then we're gonna be trying to chase

0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 1>it down. Right. Yeah, So that's one of the means

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I have much. And I'm also mindful of societal collapses.

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>We'll think about Rambo too, right to go back there,

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 1>He didn't he pour out gunpowder onto his wound and

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 1>cauterized his wound. I don't. I can start carrying an

0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:59.000
<v Speaker 1>extra one for that, so I carre him for societal class.

0:28:59.040 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna carre him for that. And then, like you said,

0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:05.960
<v Speaker 1>knocking your rifle off and need more. I think about

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:12.360
<v Speaker 1>that the backpack thing. I say snarky comments when I'm

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:15.240
<v Speaker 1>hunting with somebody. That's always almost always our tree season,

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and for some reason they dropped their pack and then

0:29:18.160 --> 0:29:20.880
<v Speaker 1>take off after the elk. And what I would like

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:24.120
<v Speaker 1>to do is leave that pack there and then that

0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 1>they would be forced to go learn that hard lesson

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 1>of trying to find their pack in the dark. But

0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 1>that would also make me stay on the mountain much

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:36.040
<v Speaker 1>longer when I'm trying to get out of there. So

0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I pick it up and I say something like, yeah,

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:43.240
<v Speaker 1>some small child forgot their knapsack over there. I was

0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:46.160
<v Speaker 1>talking with someone not long ago who I can't remember,

0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:49.719
<v Speaker 1>who you might remember, leaves tie surveyors tape onto their

0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 1>pack to help them find it when they lose it

0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 1>because they've left it somewhere. I've done that they're missing

0:29:56.440 --> 0:30:00.080
<v Speaker 1>the greater lesson there. Yeah, you think that, like you

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:02.479
<v Speaker 1>get up and you think like it's all gonna happen

0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 1>right at this little rise, and then you wind up

0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:12.240
<v Speaker 1>hours later in the pitch black miles away without your pack.

0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:15.920
<v Speaker 1>But it don't even take that man. I mean, when

0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>it's pitch black, it can be fifty yards, but you

0:30:18.720 --> 0:30:21.720
<v Speaker 1>think it might have been two hundred yards like I've been.

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I know that I've been within like seeing distance off

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 1>my pack in the dark and with your head lamp

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and you're just sitting there going ship ship ship. Yeah.

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:33.440
<v Speaker 1>When I do leave my pack, I drop away point

0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 1>on my GPS if some real like if you're run

0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:40.080
<v Speaker 1>like a very heavy pack, right and it's just really

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:44.320
<v Speaker 1>and you need to have like mega optimum stealth right

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:48.120
<v Speaker 1>day one of a hunt or something. Yeah, and you're like,

0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:50.960
<v Speaker 1>do this pack is too much? Like I can't put

0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:53.440
<v Speaker 1>a creep on right now, I'm gonna have to leave

0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the pack. Then, No, that's why they have them. Then

0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I'll put some essentials in my binal harness in the

0:30:58.880 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 1>little pockets and whatnot on there, take a GPS thing

0:31:03.120 --> 0:31:05.120
<v Speaker 1>and throw that unit in my pocket so I can

0:31:05.160 --> 0:31:07.640
<v Speaker 1>go find some bitch when i'm you know, wind that

0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:12.680
<v Speaker 1>way later. Uh cal Yes, this guy we had talked

0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 1>about Camo. Andy's remember that this guy wrote, and he's

0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 1>got a bone to pick with you. He owns camouflage.

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:28.280
<v Speaker 1>He owns first like camouflage boxers. But he says both

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 1>times when he's winning to make his order, he tried

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 1>to buy a solid but it was out, and bought Camo,

0:31:33.560 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and everyone thinks he chose Camlo. So he's like, he

0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 1>thinks you have a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy,

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:41.760
<v Speaker 1>going on there to say that people buy camel. This

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:43.920
<v Speaker 1>guy is saying that it wasn't his intention, but that's

0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:45.800
<v Speaker 1>what he has. But it's okay because his wife thinks

0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:52.520
<v Speaker 1>it's hilarious. Goes on to say, I'm not calling cattle wire. Yeah,

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>well yeah, not not to say I'm right and he's wrong,

0:31:57.920 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like I did say when we first

0:32:00.640 --> 0:32:03.040
<v Speaker 1>started out, that's the way it was like the camera

0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 1>went faster than the solids. Now I think it is

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:09.120
<v Speaker 1>the opposite way, and and I could be totally wrong,

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:11.960
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, I'm I'm right there with you. I do

0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:16.080
<v Speaker 1>we have such a limited offering of colors, Like right now,

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:19.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm like into week two of living in

0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:24.240
<v Speaker 1>hotels out of my same bag, so it's I also

0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:27.960
<v Speaker 1>have camouflage on DS with man burned through the other ones. Yeah,

0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 1>and I can be like, oh, literally burned dry earth

0:32:32.280 --> 0:32:35.400
<v Speaker 1>is gone. Time to worth fusion. Here's a good letter.

0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 1>This is this guy's an attorney. This this is this

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:42.280
<v Speaker 1>is an attorney, a lawyer with an interesting practice. He

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:48.360
<v Speaker 1>has a practice focused on hunters, guides and outfitters um

0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:53.920
<v Speaker 1>and wanted to talk about our permissions episode a law practice. Really, Um,

0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 1>he I am an attorney with a practice focused on

0:32:56.480 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 1>helping hunters, guides, and outfitters and numerous ways. Nathaniel is

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:08.520
<v Speaker 1>his name. Um, he's responding to the Permissions podcast. Most

0:33:08.640 --> 0:33:12.160
<v Speaker 1>like like states have All fifty states have a version

0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 1>of the Recreational Use Act. This is helpful for people

0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:18.240
<v Speaker 1>to know. Listen to what I'm saying. If you're at work,

0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:23.000
<v Speaker 1>stopped working, just listen. Um, All fifty states have a

0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:29.040
<v Speaker 1>version of a Recreational Use Act. It confers liability protection

0:33:29.200 --> 0:33:33.440
<v Speaker 1>onto landowners who allow free access to their property for

0:33:33.480 --> 0:33:37.440
<v Speaker 1>recreational purposes. This means, he says, if I go knock

0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:39.440
<v Speaker 1>on the door, which I frequently do in Colorado and

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 1>canvas in Kansas where I hunting practice, and the landowner

0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:45.840
<v Speaker 1>allows me to hunt, fish, hike, et cetera without charging

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:49.720
<v Speaker 1>me for the privilege to do so, the landowner is

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:57.840
<v Speaker 1>protected from liability. But recreational what's the word I was

0:33:57.880 --> 0:34:03.960
<v Speaker 1>using again, r U s is, oh, recreational. Yeah, so

0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:09.440
<v Speaker 1>anyhow this liability no, I've not got myself toldly confused.

0:34:09.480 --> 0:34:14.719
<v Speaker 1>But he wants to caution this. It extinguishes the protections

0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:19.160
<v Speaker 1>if there is compensation of quote of any kind given

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:23.719
<v Speaker 1>to the landowner. If this guy, we had a guy

0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:25.759
<v Speaker 1>right in the letter that he offers the landowners, or

0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:28.279
<v Speaker 1>he says, hey, man, if you let me hunt, I'll

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:31.240
<v Speaker 1>provide a number of services to you. I will post

0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:33.600
<v Speaker 1>your land if it's not already post. I will pick

0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:37.520
<v Speaker 1>up garbage. Okay, he's gonna do these a he's gonna

0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:41.000
<v Speaker 1>do these favors to the landowner. He's saying, once you

0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 1>enter into an arrangement like that, you negate the liability

0:34:46.239 --> 0:34:49.759
<v Speaker 1>protection provided that landowner for giving free access to his

0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:54.200
<v Speaker 1>land because you've now entered into a broker arrangement. Wow,

0:34:56.480 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 1>and that'd be so hard to disprove or approve one

0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:04.520
<v Speaker 1>way or enough. The compensation exemption would likely not apply

0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:07.400
<v Speaker 1>if the work was done after the season as a

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:12.600
<v Speaker 1>thank you to the landowner. But if you enter into

0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:14.879
<v Speaker 1>it and say you let me hunting, I'll do this,

0:35:15.000 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you might not be protected by your landowner, might not

0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:24.200
<v Speaker 1>be protected by his states lie like de facto liability

0:35:24.200 --> 0:35:26.680
<v Speaker 1>waiver of a person who allows free access to their land.

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.719
<v Speaker 1>This guy says, if an individual is going to hunt

0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:37.520
<v Speaker 1>on the land of another in pay or compensate, he

0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:41.839
<v Speaker 1>absolutely advises having liability waivers. He goes on to save

0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:45.799
<v Speaker 1>waivers are a whole can of worms depending on your

0:35:45.840 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 1>own state. But um, he still advises it. I know

0:35:50.800 --> 0:35:53.160
<v Speaker 1>that a liability waiver is very powerful Alaska. That's not

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:57.160
<v Speaker 1>him talking, that's me talking. The National Agricultural Law Center

0:35:57.200 --> 0:35:59.879
<v Speaker 1>has a great database on the r US for every state.

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:05.520
<v Speaker 1>So he's just saying, Um, you can go on to that,

0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the National Agricultural Law Center and look up what your

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:12.319
<v Speaker 1>state covers. If you're a landowner, what all your state

0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:14.400
<v Speaker 1>covers for you with liability when you let people on

0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:17.879
<v Speaker 1>your land for your charge? What do you think about that?

0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Good to know, it's good to know, but also nothing

0:36:26.680 --> 0:36:31.839
<v Speaker 1>you would ever put into that landowner conversation. Right, Well, well,

0:36:31.840 --> 0:36:35.960
<v Speaker 1>well I wanted to about I would love to pay you,

0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:40.360
<v Speaker 1>but I cannot because yeah, it's but um, but you

0:36:40.360 --> 0:36:43.279
<v Speaker 1>could add it in, say you got the permission and

0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:46.200
<v Speaker 1>then it was going to be free. Hey, just so

0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:49.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, Yeah, I told you i'd feed those cows

0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:52.920
<v Speaker 1>for you. I'm gonna do it in three months. You

0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:54.480
<v Speaker 1>know what I could I could picture throwing it out

0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:57.920
<v Speaker 1>like this, You get a permission, right, there's a feeling

0:36:58.000 --> 0:37:00.480
<v Speaker 1>of mutual goodwill. You get a permis and there's no

0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:05.120
<v Speaker 1>strings attached to the permission, like happy to allow you

0:37:05.160 --> 0:37:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to hunt my place. Son. I could picture saying, Um, well,

0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:12.439
<v Speaker 1>you know what's cool is you know our state does

0:37:12.520 --> 0:37:15.920
<v Speaker 1>have a protection to you. You're giving me free access

0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:19.600
<v Speaker 1>to your land. Um, you're, by state law protected from liability.

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:22.399
<v Speaker 1>If I wout to hire myself out here, he might

0:37:22.440 --> 0:37:24.799
<v Speaker 1>be like, really great, and that could kind of pay

0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:27.480
<v Speaker 1>it forward for somebody else than he says thank Then

0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:30.560
<v Speaker 1>he might say something like thanks for sharing. Here's the

0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:34.279
<v Speaker 1>guy that spells janice why A N N I s,

0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:36.840
<v Speaker 1>which is a good spelling, not right, but it's a

0:37:36.840 --> 0:37:39.759
<v Speaker 1>good spelling. Fanatically says he's got squirrels coming out of

0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:41.839
<v Speaker 1>his ears in Illinois. He also says this, we often

0:37:41.880 --> 0:37:46.000
<v Speaker 1>talk about doing autopsies on our kills to determine what

0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:50.680
<v Speaker 1>oregans you hit. That's not correct, and autopsy is done

0:37:50.760 --> 0:37:56.080
<v Speaker 1>on a human and the cropsy is done on an animal.

0:37:57.239 --> 0:37:59.960
<v Speaker 1>This guy says, I performed all kinds of the cropsies.

0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Luckily I have never had to perform an autopsy, So

0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:10.279
<v Speaker 1>keep that in mind. That kind of falls into my

0:38:10.680 --> 0:38:15.520
<v Speaker 1>cannibal thinking from a couple of months back. You remember that, Yeah,

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:17.359
<v Speaker 1>you can preview with me again, but I'm still not

0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:20.320
<v Speaker 1>totally sure how I feel about it. Yeah, because I

0:38:20.360 --> 0:38:22.920
<v Speaker 1>mean it's not bulletproof. Do you remember this here? Honest

0:38:23.200 --> 0:38:26.640
<v Speaker 1>that uh uh folks that say I shot a hole

0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:32.960
<v Speaker 1>in it? Hunting is murder, okay, And well you know,

0:38:33.239 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 1>we as humans say murders or murderers, but if you

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:41.080
<v Speaker 1>are a murderer who then eats the person that you murder,

0:38:41.160 --> 0:38:43.840
<v Speaker 1>you are called a cannibal, which is I regard as

0:38:43.960 --> 0:38:47.759
<v Speaker 1>being even worse. I never looked at it being like,

0:38:47.960 --> 0:38:55.200
<v Speaker 1>um like, oh, at least he ate it. Like I

0:38:55.239 --> 0:38:57.799
<v Speaker 1>don't feel like when I hear of a murderer, right

0:38:57.800 --> 0:39:02.040
<v Speaker 1>who then cannibalized the victim, I'm not like, well, you know, yeah, yeah,

0:39:02.040 --> 0:39:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't disagree. I do disagree with murdering uh people.

0:39:06.160 --> 0:39:08.960
<v Speaker 1>But however, you know, at least he put it to

0:39:09.000 --> 0:39:12.640
<v Speaker 1>good use. It's like it never enters my mind. But

0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:15.960
<v Speaker 1>those are just our societal standards here. And then you

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:19.319
<v Speaker 1>go down to uh pop on New Guinea where they

0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:25.200
<v Speaker 1>had you know, some some structure for that. It was

0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:27.840
<v Speaker 1>an important thing for certain age classes. It had like

0:39:27.840 --> 0:39:32.240
<v Speaker 1>religious or spiritual significance. So you're saying, no, you're saying,

0:39:33.840 --> 0:39:39.200
<v Speaker 1>if animal rights person, it's gonna say like, oh, you

0:39:39.320 --> 0:39:42.080
<v Speaker 1>murdered those deer. That the language in some way reflect

0:39:42.160 --> 0:39:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you ate it and not use that word.

0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:48.960
<v Speaker 1>You want a word akin to the cannibal that you

0:39:49.440 --> 0:39:53.800
<v Speaker 1>that you cannibalized it. Yeah, because I mean is murder

0:39:55.080 --> 0:39:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean it is murdering. I don't know. I mean

0:39:57.640 --> 0:39:59.560
<v Speaker 1>that's why I float out these big ideas to you.

0:39:59.600 --> 0:40:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Guys can fine tune him for me to stretch him

0:40:02.000 --> 0:40:07.520
<v Speaker 1>in poke them. Cabeza de Vaca, who is perhaps the

0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:16.000
<v Speaker 1>first European head cow. Yeah, Cabeza de Vaca, Okay, He

0:40:16.160 --> 0:40:22.840
<v Speaker 1>was a Spaniard who was shipwrecked um on the Florida

0:40:22.840 --> 0:40:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Peninsula like way early and everyone died off and was

0:40:32.160 --> 0:40:36.439
<v Speaker 1>killed off, and event she was just Cabeza Davaca, and

0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:41.960
<v Speaker 1>he to survive. He started to head west and walked

0:40:42.160 --> 0:40:47.600
<v Speaker 1>all the way to the Spanish settlements in Mexico, probably

0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:52.200
<v Speaker 1>went insane along the way, survived all number of harrowing things.

0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:57.600
<v Speaker 1>It was a long journey picture I'm talking about, from

0:40:57.600 --> 0:41:00.040
<v Speaker 1>the Gulf coast to the Spanish settlements of Max to

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:05.680
<v Speaker 1>go in the early hundreds, Cabeza Davaca walked it around Houston,

0:41:06.400 --> 0:41:10.320
<v Speaker 1>it seems, around Houston, perhaps became the first European everley

0:41:10.360 --> 0:41:16.520
<v Speaker 1>eyes on bison bison bison otherwise known as the buffler.

0:41:17.880 --> 0:41:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Cabeza de Vaca. One of the groups Cabeza Davaca encountered,

0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:26.759
<v Speaker 1>would they would burn their dead and then make like

0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:32.040
<v Speaker 1>a shake a milkshake of the ash and drink the

0:41:32.080 --> 0:41:42.360
<v Speaker 1>ash like a clay shake. But folks, folk shake. You

0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:44.399
<v Speaker 1>want to read about some crazy ship man, read about

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Cabeza Davaca. I write about him in My Buffalo. But

0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:50.040
<v Speaker 1>we're just thinking the thing like there would be some

0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:54.440
<v Speaker 1>serious backtracking just right now. You try to walk through

0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the panhandle of Florida, all the swamps, flakes across the

0:41:57.960 --> 0:42:02.000
<v Speaker 1>miss we've drained so much of that Louisiana saying like

0:42:03.880 --> 0:42:06.799
<v Speaker 1>and he he describes a lot of wildlife. People put

0:42:06.840 --> 0:42:09.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stock into like historians when you're trying

0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to get a general picture of what was where, they

0:42:13.080 --> 0:42:15.400
<v Speaker 1>put a lot of like faith into what Kabayza Davaca

0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:19.760
<v Speaker 1>described along the way, but he encountered these big kurvey

0:42:19.840 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 1>horn shaggy haired cattle around what seems to be around Houston. Wow,

0:42:27.800 --> 0:42:30.759
<v Speaker 1>what was the timeline? How long did that take him?

0:42:30.800 --> 0:42:32.520
<v Speaker 1>It was a long ass walk, but I can't remember

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:36.120
<v Speaker 1>exactly how many months. It's like a three page footnote

0:42:36.120 --> 0:42:40.239
<v Speaker 1>in my Buffalo book, the Saga of Cabeza Davaca, and

0:42:40.280 --> 0:42:41.920
<v Speaker 1>also how he came up, how he wound up with

0:42:41.960 --> 0:42:46.040
<v Speaker 1>that handle. He's raphien st elsewhere though, right it's famous

0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:48.640
<v Speaker 1>because it's like it's like the first glimpse. What people

0:42:48.680 --> 0:42:52.480
<v Speaker 1>are really interested in is the location and prevalence of

0:42:52.480 --> 0:42:59.280
<v Speaker 1>of the location and prevalence of Native American communities along

0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the coast, because what you realize is that, you know,

0:43:02.600 --> 0:43:10.719
<v Speaker 1>smallpox traveled ahead of the settlements. So usually when you

0:43:10.760 --> 0:43:12.560
<v Speaker 1>look at like when the Spanish are going into areas,

0:43:12.600 --> 0:43:15.680
<v Speaker 1>when the England later the English went into areas, you

0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:18.279
<v Speaker 1>think of them like they're doing their explorations and they're

0:43:18.280 --> 0:43:20.520
<v Speaker 1>seeing it for the first time, and you think like

0:43:20.560 --> 0:43:23.480
<v Speaker 1>what they're seeing as being what was there. But the

0:43:23.480 --> 0:43:28.400
<v Speaker 1>way smallpox works, like Kabys Davaca probably right introduced disease

0:43:29.080 --> 0:43:31.560
<v Speaker 1>along the way, So oftentimes you'd have to be that

0:43:31.600 --> 0:43:34.600
<v Speaker 1>you'd have a European stumble through some area, but then

0:43:34.600 --> 0:43:37.680
<v Speaker 1>it didn't really get like explored for a hundred years later.

0:43:38.360 --> 0:43:41.279
<v Speaker 1>And now it seems like like when the English were

0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:45.120
<v Speaker 1>going into areas, they were encountering probably about ten percent

0:43:45.239 --> 0:43:47.520
<v Speaker 1>of the humans that would have been there had they

0:43:47.520 --> 0:43:51.000
<v Speaker 1>passed those areas a hundred and fifty years earlier, because

0:43:51.080 --> 0:43:53.400
<v Speaker 1>how many people smallpox carried off. So if you look

0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:56.640
<v Speaker 1>at like what Kabeza Davaca describes as he travels the coast,

0:43:57.320 --> 0:44:00.520
<v Speaker 1>for just like like how many people he's encountering, diferent groups,

0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:04.120
<v Speaker 1>different languages, different cultural practices. And then you go and

0:44:04.160 --> 0:44:06.680
<v Speaker 1>compare that to people traveling that same thing a hundred

0:44:06.719 --> 0:44:09.719
<v Speaker 1>years later, you think they were in a different country

0:44:10.920 --> 0:44:16.080
<v Speaker 1>for what they're encountering one abundance of animals. There's a

0:44:16.080 --> 0:44:18.400
<v Speaker 1>school of thought that believes the abundance of animals is

0:44:18.560 --> 0:44:23.080
<v Speaker 1>much higher later and the presence of humans is much

0:44:23.160 --> 0:44:28.680
<v Speaker 1>much lower, And there's an implied correlation between that d peopling,

0:44:28.880 --> 0:44:31.480
<v Speaker 1>but not kind of historically how we've been thinking about it.

0:44:31.480 --> 0:44:34.600
<v Speaker 1>But that deep interesting that you carried off of the

0:44:34.640 --> 0:44:36.640
<v Speaker 1>human predators. Of course you're gonna see us in a

0:44:36.680 --> 0:44:38.360
<v Speaker 1>hundred of course you're gonna see us. The game of

0:44:38.400 --> 0:44:41.839
<v Speaker 1>spike and game there's a guy. So when you look

0:44:41.840 --> 0:44:45.719
<v Speaker 1>at like, we're Lewis and Clark found the greatest abundances

0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:50.279
<v Speaker 1>of wildlife. Historians later when and looked and found sort

0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:54.880
<v Speaker 1>of the Noman land, the contact, the edges of contact

0:44:54.920 --> 0:44:59.399
<v Speaker 1>between warring tribes. So like the areas that were very

0:44:59.480 --> 0:45:03.200
<v Speaker 1>hostile in environments seem to be the areas. This is

0:45:03.239 --> 0:45:06.399
<v Speaker 1>just a theory someone has that We're Lewis and Clark

0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:09.880
<v Speaker 1>described the greatest abundance of game where the border lands

0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:14.799
<v Speaker 1>between warring tribes. So you'd get to where the like

0:45:14.920 --> 0:45:18.440
<v Speaker 1>you'd get to a buffer of the Crow and black Feet,

0:45:19.080 --> 0:45:22.719
<v Speaker 1>right and that sort of no man's land between their

0:45:22.719 --> 0:45:25.200
<v Speaker 1>two core territories, you would find a lot of games.

0:45:25.320 --> 0:45:28.600
<v Speaker 1>It's very dangerous to hang out in that spot because

0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:31.840
<v Speaker 1>when you were in that area, you were in the

0:45:31.840 --> 0:45:34.600
<v Speaker 1>war zone. Yeah, I'm shaking my head because this is

0:45:34.640 --> 0:45:39.920
<v Speaker 1>like it makes total sense that it has never been

0:45:39.960 --> 0:45:42.920
<v Speaker 1>explained that like the Headwaters region of the Missouri and

0:45:42.960 --> 0:45:45.400
<v Speaker 1>you've read that, like just doing your Montana history right,

0:45:45.440 --> 0:45:47.879
<v Speaker 1>and it was like, oh yeah, and then Blackfeet carry

0:45:47.920 --> 0:45:50.520
<v Speaker 1>off sue here and Nez person would come over. But

0:45:51.400 --> 0:45:53.920
<v Speaker 1>so that that Headwaters region of the Missouri was like

0:45:53.960 --> 0:45:56.960
<v Speaker 1>a hotly contested ground where like you had the crow

0:45:57.040 --> 0:45:58.680
<v Speaker 1>would come from the south and go up in there.

0:45:58.800 --> 0:46:01.360
<v Speaker 1>The black Feet would come from the north and weston

0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:03.960
<v Speaker 1>going there to the Lakota would would come from the

0:46:03.960 --> 0:46:05.800
<v Speaker 1>eastern range there. And if you went in there, you

0:46:05.840 --> 0:46:08.600
<v Speaker 1>were gonna be mixing it up with other folks. And

0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:11.000
<v Speaker 1>it was just and it was like a game rich environment.

0:46:11.719 --> 0:46:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Here's something interesting. We're talking about morality on a podcast

0:46:16.920 --> 0:46:22.600
<v Speaker 1>quite a while ago. You were there the Bozeman event. Oh,

0:46:22.680 --> 0:46:28.719
<v Speaker 1>the live event. We're talking about what makes a good person? Uh,

0:46:28.800 --> 0:46:30.719
<v Speaker 1>which is way off topic for us, but we're talking

0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:32.839
<v Speaker 1>about what makes a good person. My brother brought up

0:46:33.440 --> 0:46:41.279
<v Speaker 1>something called the cants categorical imperative. Okay, he didn't explore it,

0:46:41.280 --> 0:46:44.880
<v Speaker 1>but he touched on it. And this guy writes in

0:46:44.960 --> 0:46:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to take to kind of take that idea to task.

0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:53.640
<v Speaker 1>He's saying that um can's categorical imperative it was a

0:46:53.680 --> 0:46:57.799
<v Speaker 1>way to determine the morality of an action by imagining

0:46:57.840 --> 0:47:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the consequences of any individual action if it was a

0:47:01.040 --> 0:47:05.239
<v Speaker 1>universal law. So he says, let's go out and set

0:47:05.239 --> 0:47:09.879
<v Speaker 1>out to prove why littering is wrong. Okay, so to

0:47:09.880 --> 0:47:13.920
<v Speaker 1>to apply Kansas categorical imperative to it, you would say, well,

0:47:13.920 --> 0:47:21.319
<v Speaker 1>what if everyone littered, what would the world look like? Right,

0:47:21.960 --> 0:47:23.640
<v Speaker 1>So he goes, Therefore, you can arrive at the fact

0:47:23.640 --> 0:47:26.919
<v Speaker 1>that littering is immoral. If everyone did it, it would

0:47:26.920 --> 0:47:29.959
<v Speaker 1>be a total ship show. My kids have a book

0:47:30.320 --> 0:47:33.480
<v Speaker 1>called What If Everyone Did That? And one of the

0:47:33.520 --> 0:47:38.200
<v Speaker 1>things that explores is what if everyone littered? What if

0:47:38.239 --> 0:47:41.760
<v Speaker 1>everyone like talked out of turn? Which is another problem

0:47:41.760 --> 0:47:46.080
<v Speaker 1>we have on this show. So uh so he goes

0:47:46.120 --> 0:47:48.680
<v Speaker 1>on to say, so if you want to prove he

0:47:48.680 --> 0:47:50.400
<v Speaker 1>goes more, he goes on to that he brings us

0:47:50.400 --> 0:47:53.000
<v Speaker 1>around the hunting. He says, most arguments against hunting tend

0:47:53.000 --> 0:47:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to be based on irrational emotions, are preconceived assumptions. But

0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:00.719
<v Speaker 1>when you apply the categorical imperative to it, it does

0:48:00.840 --> 0:48:04.840
<v Speaker 1>make it seem in his view that hunting becomes immoral

0:48:06.320 --> 0:48:10.080
<v Speaker 1>because he says, what if everyone hunted? But he hasn't

0:48:10.080 --> 0:48:16.040
<v Speaker 1>thought about it good enough, because just the fact wouldn't

0:48:16.040 --> 0:48:22.160
<v Speaker 1>you hunt. You're still subject to the laws. So if

0:48:22.200 --> 0:48:26.600
<v Speaker 1>everyone hunted, we wouldn't have It wouldn't mean that there's

0:48:26.680 --> 0:48:31.359
<v Speaker 1>more death. It doesn't mean there's more death and less game.

0:48:31.440 --> 0:48:36.400
<v Speaker 1>It would just means you have greatly reduced opportunity because like,

0:48:36.440 --> 0:48:38.800
<v Speaker 1>if everyone hunted, I was like, okay, so that means

0:48:38.840 --> 0:48:42.399
<v Speaker 1>everyone now has to apply for all the tags. Yeah,

0:48:42.440 --> 0:48:44.960
<v Speaker 1>we will all draw a lot less tags. But it doesn't.

0:48:45.520 --> 0:48:47.960
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't make like you can't use cancers categorical

0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:50.839
<v Speaker 1>imperative to say huntings immoral, because if everyone hunted, all

0:48:50.840 --> 0:48:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the animals would be dead, because in this country it's

0:48:54.960 --> 0:48:58.120
<v Speaker 1>all regulated. If everyone hunted, it would just mean that

0:48:58.120 --> 0:49:01.120
<v Speaker 1>there's like a lot less opportunity and you're gonna wait

0:49:01.160 --> 0:49:05.320
<v Speaker 1>in the longer line to get your bit of access.

0:49:05.400 --> 0:49:08.040
<v Speaker 1>A lot more cash for state agencies, a lot more

0:49:08.080 --> 0:49:13.680
<v Speaker 1>cash for state agencies, which makes it seem more moral. Yeah,

0:49:13.800 --> 0:49:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I see what he's going for, but he just didn't

0:49:15.960 --> 0:49:19.680
<v Speaker 1>think it through far enough. Guy's name is Brad. Generally

0:49:19.719 --> 0:49:22.160
<v Speaker 1>had good luck. I've generally had very good luck with

0:49:22.239 --> 0:49:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Brad's in my life. Interesting, I'm thinking particularly of Brad

0:49:27.239 --> 0:49:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Cross and Bradchester, who were both big BMX guys growing

0:49:31.760 --> 0:49:35.439
<v Speaker 1>up when I moved Rad and Rad rhymes with Brad.

0:49:35.520 --> 0:49:37.799
<v Speaker 1>When I see the name Brad, I generally feel like

0:49:37.840 --> 0:49:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm like like like I would like the guy.

0:49:41.800 --> 0:49:43.840
<v Speaker 1>They already starting up with a little bit of credit,

0:49:44.880 --> 0:49:47.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, Brad Brad trying to come in and hit

0:49:47.840 --> 0:49:51.719
<v Speaker 1>his heart with Kansas category comparative. Do you any thoughts

0:49:51.719 --> 0:49:56.120
<v Speaker 1>on that? You honest, I don't, Yeah, because that, you know,

0:49:56.280 --> 0:49:59.800
<v Speaker 1>really just nothing. Everybody litters. Well no, I mean I

0:49:59.800 --> 0:50:05.440
<v Speaker 1>think he stands. But that crosses the boundary of well, yeah,

0:50:05.480 --> 0:50:08.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there's gonna be higher fines for littering, but

0:50:08.800 --> 0:50:15.800
<v Speaker 1>if everybody just keeps littering, that doesn't quiet hold water. Right, Yeah,

0:50:15.920 --> 0:50:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess if everybody poached. Yes, we've already arrived at that. Yeah.

0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:29.319
<v Speaker 1>So Kancers category impair to my Um, here's a good one.

0:50:32.160 --> 0:50:34.040
<v Speaker 1>This guy is aware of the fact that there are

0:50:34.040 --> 0:50:36.239
<v Speaker 1>Turkey Grand slams. I don't know if he's aware of

0:50:36.280 --> 0:50:40.480
<v Speaker 1>the fact that I happened to be a Turkey. A Turkey,

0:50:42.640 --> 0:50:45.719
<v Speaker 1>I can remember what turkey slam I have? Thank you

0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:53.680
<v Speaker 1>have this grand the royal. No, we're gonna figure it out. Okay,

0:50:53.719 --> 0:50:56.960
<v Speaker 1>So slams. A lot of people hate slams, and for

0:50:57.120 --> 0:51:01.960
<v Speaker 1>very good reason because it introduces an element. Look, I

0:51:02.000 --> 0:51:05.080
<v Speaker 1>gotta backup. Uh, there's slams are a thing that someone

0:51:05.160 --> 0:51:07.440
<v Speaker 1>made up or another someone or another made up this

0:51:07.520 --> 0:51:10.280
<v Speaker 1>idea that you'd go like, Okay, there's different kinds of turkeys,

0:51:11.080 --> 0:51:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and if one were to get one of all those

0:51:14.640 --> 0:51:20.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of turkeys, that person would be a slam holder. Okay.

0:51:21.320 --> 0:51:24.400
<v Speaker 1>So with with turkeys, there there's a thing called a

0:51:24.440 --> 0:51:28.640
<v Speaker 1>turkey Grand Slam and to get it. So there are

0:51:28.719 --> 0:51:33.319
<v Speaker 1>five five yis holding up four, but there's five a

0:51:33.520 --> 0:51:39.000
<v Speaker 1>grand okay, is there just America Grand Slam? There's there

0:51:39.000 --> 0:51:45.799
<v Speaker 1>are five subspecies which some people say aren't actually subspecies.

0:51:45.800 --> 0:51:49.360
<v Speaker 1>There are five types of wild turkeys. You have the

0:51:49.400 --> 0:51:55.279
<v Speaker 1>eastern of the Eastern US. You have the Osciola of

0:51:55.400 --> 0:51:59.560
<v Speaker 1>the southern half of the Florida Peninsula. You have the

0:52:00.000 --> 0:52:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Ariams and Rio from the southwestern US. And then you

0:52:04.680 --> 0:52:10.520
<v Speaker 1>have the Goulds turkey from northern Mexico and the Sky

0:52:10.640 --> 0:52:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Island Mountain ranges of southern Arizona, New Mexico. If you

0:52:17.360 --> 0:52:19.560
<v Speaker 1>were to get and the ghouls is kind of the

0:52:19.600 --> 0:52:23.600
<v Speaker 1>hardest one to get because of availability, Like most people

0:52:23.600 --> 0:52:25.799
<v Speaker 1>who get a Google turkey get it in Mexico. So

0:52:25.840 --> 0:52:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a grand slam is that you get the four kinds

0:52:28.560 --> 0:52:34.440
<v Speaker 1>of wild turkeys. That are around and widely available in

0:52:34.440 --> 0:52:39.759
<v Speaker 1>the US. A royal slam is if you get the

0:52:39.800 --> 0:52:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Goulds too. A world slam is if you go down

0:52:44.080 --> 0:52:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and get another whole other species of turkeys, which is

0:52:46.960 --> 0:52:50.480
<v Speaker 1>called the oscillated not to be confused the osceola, the

0:52:50.560 --> 0:52:56.680
<v Speaker 1>oscillated turkey, which is down in the Yuka tam Peninsula, Guatemala,

0:52:56.880 --> 0:53:00.920
<v Speaker 1>you know the Mayan areas, there's the oscillated um. So

0:53:01.000 --> 0:53:02.600
<v Speaker 1>that's the world slam, and that's a whole other bird

0:53:02.880 --> 0:53:05.040
<v Speaker 1>they used to think there used to be. There's possibly

0:53:05.239 --> 0:53:09.920
<v Speaker 1>was a sixth subspecies of turkey called the Mexican turkey,

0:53:10.200 --> 0:53:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and that is the one that's probably been domesticated for

0:53:13.320 --> 0:53:15.759
<v Speaker 1>thousands of years, and that's the one that when the

0:53:15.760 --> 0:53:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Spanish conquistadors came to the New World. That is the

0:53:19.560 --> 0:53:24.440
<v Speaker 1>domestic turkey that the Aztecs had probably doesn't didn't even

0:53:24.440 --> 0:53:26.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe didn't even exist in the wild at the time,

0:53:27.400 --> 0:53:30.200
<v Speaker 1>but that was where they derived the domestic turkey, which

0:53:30.239 --> 0:53:32.320
<v Speaker 1>was then taken back to Europe and is the domestic

0:53:32.320 --> 0:53:35.399
<v Speaker 1>turkeys we know today. So turkeys were are a New

0:53:35.440 --> 0:53:40.680
<v Speaker 1>World species. They were domesticated thousands of years ago by

0:53:40.719 --> 0:53:47.360
<v Speaker 1>indigenous groups in Mexico in Central America, Europeans came borrowed

0:53:47.360 --> 0:53:50.080
<v Speaker 1>the birds, took the birds back to Europe, bred up

0:53:50.080 --> 0:53:53.560
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of crazy variants on the wild turkey, and

0:53:53.600 --> 0:53:59.520
<v Speaker 1>then brought those back to the New World, reintroduced them

0:53:59.520 --> 0:54:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and asked, when you going buy a turkey in the

0:54:01.239 --> 0:54:04.200
<v Speaker 1>grocery store, that's what you're buying. And they think that

0:54:04.200 --> 0:54:08.880
<v Speaker 1>that original domestication was perhaps a turkey subspecies that is

0:54:08.920 --> 0:54:11.080
<v Speaker 1>no longer around. I think some people think it was

0:54:11.120 --> 0:54:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the Goulds. Maybe it was the Goulds. The question being

0:54:17.120 --> 0:54:22.600
<v Speaker 1>that this guy has is um, why is there a

0:54:22.640 --> 0:54:26.840
<v Speaker 1>deer elk Grand Slam? Can I add one thing about

0:54:26.840 --> 0:54:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the Super Slams or this all the slams here with

0:54:29.280 --> 0:54:31.680
<v Speaker 1>the turkey thing, because I was just on the National

0:54:32.080 --> 0:54:37.239
<v Speaker 1>Wild Turkey Federation website and they have a Canadian Slam

0:54:37.280 --> 0:54:41.640
<v Speaker 1>if you kill all available birds in one province of Canada,

0:54:41.719 --> 0:54:47.440
<v Speaker 1>which is a Canadian Slam, Yeah, or one too, And

0:54:47.480 --> 0:54:54.759
<v Speaker 1>then the Mexican is uh gold Rio and uh no,

0:54:54.880 --> 0:54:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Miriam's all down in Mexico really, so there's okay, there's

0:54:59.840 --> 0:55:03.600
<v Speaker 1>more turkeys around. But then there's a super Slam, which

0:55:03.640 --> 0:55:09.120
<v Speaker 1>is the all states besides Alaska and uh. And the

0:55:09.120 --> 0:55:10.879
<v Speaker 1>reason I mentioning this is because I was like, man,

0:55:10.920 --> 0:55:14.239
<v Speaker 1>that's gotta be freaking hard right. Well, the last time,

0:55:14.280 --> 0:55:18.560
<v Speaker 1>according to the books here on the NTF, back up,

0:55:18.600 --> 0:55:23.520
<v Speaker 1>back up, you didn't, I got I got confused, um

0:55:24.040 --> 0:55:26.239
<v Speaker 1>because looking at something else. But there's other slams too though,

0:55:26.800 --> 0:55:30.520
<v Speaker 1>for turkeys you didn't get into, like grand right, Oh,

0:55:30.560 --> 0:55:32.719
<v Speaker 1>I thought you covered that. Okay, so you're doing just

0:55:32.760 --> 0:55:35.040
<v Speaker 1>the ones and the one that you hadn't covered. Yeah, okay,

0:55:35.080 --> 0:55:37.000
<v Speaker 1>so tell me again the name you had it right

0:55:37.120 --> 0:55:40.520
<v Speaker 1>that you're saying a name for getting a turkey in

0:55:40.640 --> 0:55:44.000
<v Speaker 1>all fifty states as of what us super slam, U

0:55:44.239 --> 0:55:47.600
<v Speaker 1>s super slam. I'm jealous of someone that's done that.

0:55:47.680 --> 0:55:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I can't explain why. Listen, there are according to these records,

0:55:51.239 --> 0:55:56.880
<v Speaker 1>there's eight people that have done it, killed a turkey

0:55:56.880 --> 0:56:00.319
<v Speaker 1>and forty states. I like, my brother, is what I

0:56:00.360 --> 0:56:02.960
<v Speaker 1>explained this to them. They just they can't even begin

0:56:03.040 --> 0:56:06.520
<v Speaker 1>to understand. They don't like anything that. They don't like

0:56:06.560 --> 0:56:12.719
<v Speaker 1>anything where you introduce a sports type mentality like a

0:56:12.840 --> 0:56:23.959
<v Speaker 1>keeping track sports e competitive stuff as um. Thomas McIntyre said,

0:56:24.000 --> 0:56:27.799
<v Speaker 1>it's pissing in the cathedral. Yeah, in their opinion, But

0:56:27.840 --> 0:56:29.759
<v Speaker 1>I like it a little teeny bit. I like it

0:56:29.800 --> 0:56:32.480
<v Speaker 1>a little too. I like it for the I feel like,

0:56:32.680 --> 0:56:35.520
<v Speaker 1>if that's the way you're gonna go and travel the

0:56:35.640 --> 0:56:39.279
<v Speaker 1>United States and get to go to different states and

0:56:39.320 --> 0:56:41.600
<v Speaker 1>meet the people in every nine states and see forty

0:56:41.640 --> 0:56:44.919
<v Speaker 1>nine different landscapes of turkeys live in, like, it's well

0:56:44.960 --> 0:56:47.520
<v Speaker 1>worth it, well worth thing to get into, you know.

0:56:49.280 --> 0:56:51.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, by the end of it, if you were

0:56:51.560 --> 0:56:53.719
<v Speaker 1>to kill a turkey in all four nine states, you

0:56:53.760 --> 0:56:56.560
<v Speaker 1>would have killed turkeys in eleven states that did not

0:56:56.719 --> 0:57:02.040
<v Speaker 1>historically have turkeys, right because they think at the time

0:57:02.040 --> 0:57:04.840
<v Speaker 1>of European contact we had turkeys and maybe thirty nine states.

0:57:07.600 --> 0:57:11.800
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, so in that way to go stressed that

0:57:11.960 --> 0:57:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you'd be like looking at like just how good turkeys

0:57:14.440 --> 0:57:18.800
<v Speaker 1>are doing. But the dear one, I didn't know, y'all's

0:57:18.800 --> 0:57:21.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna break down. What's up a deer? Well, like I

0:57:21.120 --> 0:57:24.280
<v Speaker 1>thought before I did my little ten minutes research here,

0:57:25.280 --> 0:57:28.080
<v Speaker 1>it's like there's this idea of a deer slam out there,

0:57:28.320 --> 0:57:32.400
<v Speaker 1>floating around, floating around, But like somebody uh involved with

0:57:32.560 --> 0:57:34.600
<v Speaker 1>q d m A, they tried to go with a

0:57:34.640 --> 0:57:37.520
<v Speaker 1>white tail slam and our buddy Mark Kingyon actually wrote

0:57:37.520 --> 0:57:40.680
<v Speaker 1>a piece on it five years ago and uh where

0:57:40.680 --> 0:57:44.320
<v Speaker 1>they break down eight subspecies of white tail across our continent.

0:57:44.520 --> 0:57:48.000
<v Speaker 1>That that's not Yeah. So again, that's why I'm saying,

0:57:48.040 --> 0:57:51.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like this idea that people are pushing for whatever reason,

0:57:52.280 --> 0:57:54.840
<v Speaker 1>but it's never really because they wanted to become a thing.

0:57:54.880 --> 0:57:56.760
<v Speaker 1>They wanted to become a thing. Same thing with the

0:57:57.000 --> 0:57:59.840
<v Speaker 1>with the regular uh, not the white tail slam, but

0:57:59.880 --> 0:58:04.360
<v Speaker 1>the regular deer slam would be Columbia blacktail, sick of blacktail,

0:58:05.640 --> 0:58:08.960
<v Speaker 1>regular white tail? Whose white tail mule deer? Right five,

0:58:09.080 --> 0:58:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I've done that accidentally, Right, I'm an accidental deer slam holder.

0:58:14.680 --> 0:58:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm one away cal but I'm far off the mark,

0:58:19.600 --> 0:58:23.000
<v Speaker 1>far off the mark. Uh. But the reason some people

0:58:23.040 --> 0:58:28.600
<v Speaker 1>don't like this is the argument of oh, you're just

0:58:28.680 --> 0:58:32.400
<v Speaker 1>a collector. Yeah, that's maybe what I was trying to

0:58:32.440 --> 0:58:36.960
<v Speaker 1>say earlier. Yeah. Uh, I'm gonna start saying, not that

0:58:37.080 --> 0:58:40.280
<v Speaker 1>i've I'm gonna make it into a food thing. I'm

0:58:40.280 --> 0:58:43.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna say that I have eaten I have to the

0:58:43.720 --> 0:58:46.240
<v Speaker 1>royal slam. Be Like, what's that be? Like, I've eaten

0:58:46.480 --> 0:58:51.720
<v Speaker 1>all um, I've self harvested and eating all five subspecies

0:58:51.720 --> 0:58:58.040
<v Speaker 1>of turkey man turkey tetrasini out of everyone. Okay, ready

0:58:58.040 --> 0:59:00.120
<v Speaker 1>for this one. There's nothing I'm not asking you does

0:59:00.200 --> 0:59:02.200
<v Speaker 1>add anything to this. It's just a thing this guy has.

0:59:02.200 --> 0:59:05.920
<v Speaker 1>This guy hunts the Texas hill country, cool country. I

0:59:06.000 --> 0:59:09.240
<v Speaker 1>think you know his family owns, you know, fifty some

0:59:09.360 --> 0:59:14.480
<v Speaker 1>acres of prime hill country. Over his life, he says

0:59:14.480 --> 0:59:18.680
<v Speaker 1>that it's become that. Um, he's just seen a lot

0:59:18.720 --> 0:59:20.680
<v Speaker 1>of change over his life as the whole place has

0:59:20.720 --> 0:59:25.960
<v Speaker 1>become fenced. His subject line is high fence is screwing

0:59:26.000 --> 0:59:29.480
<v Speaker 1>my fair chase. He says, when you drive down the road,

0:59:29.520 --> 0:59:34.000
<v Speaker 1>you're driving down corridors between high fences. And he says

0:59:34.040 --> 0:59:37.160
<v Speaker 1>it just has had dramatic impacts on sort of the

0:59:37.200 --> 0:59:40.439
<v Speaker 1>movements of deer and has really kind of like put

0:59:40.480 --> 0:59:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the screws to someone who doesn't fence, just the interruption

0:59:46.160 --> 0:59:50.280
<v Speaker 1>of deer movements. And he also gets into the interruption

0:59:50.560 --> 0:59:52.720
<v Speaker 1>and then the other things that have happened on the land,

0:59:52.800 --> 0:59:57.439
<v Speaker 1>like introducing exotics onto your fence property just has really

0:59:57.560 --> 1:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>changed the area in his opinion for the worst. UM.

1:00:03.280 --> 1:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>He tried to bring all this up on a thing

1:00:04.840 --> 1:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>called the Texas bow Hunter form and got thrown off.

1:00:09.800 --> 1:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>That's interesting. Interesting. I have been on those lanes though.

1:00:15.280 --> 1:00:17.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm sure you guys have to driving down

1:00:17.280 --> 1:00:19.360
<v Speaker 1>between the fences. Yeah, you know, I haven't really spent

1:00:19.400 --> 1:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>that much time there. Yeah, buddy ars has A has

1:00:22.200 --> 1:00:24.920
<v Speaker 1>a place out there, and gone hunted with him a

1:00:24.960 --> 1:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>couple of times. And his place is not high fence.

1:00:29.080 --> 1:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>But in order to get to his place, that that

1:00:32.920 --> 1:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>is the scene that pops in my head. Right, you

1:00:35.120 --> 1:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>got ten ft tall chain link fences on both sides

1:00:39.440 --> 1:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>of the road, and so if an animal did want

1:00:42.840 --> 1:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>to move around, they have to basically walk down a

1:00:46.080 --> 1:00:49.160
<v Speaker 1>very very thin shoulder or right down the middle of

1:00:49.160 --> 1:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the road to go from there is no point A

1:00:52.120 --> 1:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to point B. Right, it's all following some you know,

1:00:57.720 --> 1:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>ranch map from a hundred years ago. Or the flip

1:01:00.400 --> 1:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>side of it is is that there's probably if you

1:01:03.880 --> 1:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>went and tallied up the number of deer, there's probably

1:01:07.000 --> 1:01:11.439
<v Speaker 1>more dear than before. They just lived differently. They don't

1:01:11.480 --> 1:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>move around as wild animals anymore. But like, it's not

1:01:14.680 --> 1:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>that there's it's not that you probably can't go and

1:01:16.560 --> 1:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>look and be like, oh, it's there's no dear, there's

1:01:18.600 --> 1:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>tons of deer that has all been turned into livestock. Yeah,

1:01:23.160 --> 1:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking that. Yeah, and so something like the numbers,

1:01:27.320 --> 1:01:29.080
<v Speaker 1>like the number, like you can't say the species is

1:01:29.160 --> 1:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>hurting because they're probably doing fantastic. Like each one of

1:01:31.880 --> 1:01:34.040
<v Speaker 1>these fence places probably more dear than it did in

1:01:34.040 --> 1:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the past. Real they wouldn't be fencing it, but they're

1:01:37.400 --> 1:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>just not. Like some of their wildness is gone because

1:01:42.080 --> 1:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>they can't roam. Be interesting to see it. Like how

1:01:45.040 --> 1:01:49.520
<v Speaker 1>much corn go like silage corn goes to the state

1:01:49.560 --> 1:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>of Texas because it's such a heavy you know feeding uh,

1:01:54.240 --> 1:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>you know game feeding state. Really Yeah, the number of

1:01:58.200 --> 1:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>like the pound or like the calorie count, how much

1:02:02.200 --> 1:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>food comes in. And then again, man, it's like that

1:02:07.480 --> 1:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>in some ways everybody's got it up and downs because

1:02:12.320 --> 1:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>in some ways that ship makes the desert bloom too, right,

1:02:14.720 --> 1:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>because like a lot of wildlife feeds off that. There's

1:02:17.480 --> 1:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of wildlife feeds off that cycle just different, right,

1:02:20.880 --> 1:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>it's different. Some some people might go and look like, yeah, man,

1:02:23.520 --> 1:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>got a lot more quail now than we did, probably

1:02:26.280 --> 1:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>way more water. People do water bring in a bunch

1:02:30.160 --> 1:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>of corn, You bring a bunch of food and you

1:02:32.040 --> 1:02:33.920
<v Speaker 1>bring in a bunch of water. So people might look

1:02:33.920 --> 1:02:35.400
<v Speaker 1>and be like, yeah, man, we know have a lot

1:02:35.440 --> 1:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>more quail than we did when I was a kid.

1:02:37.800 --> 1:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>We got a lot more haviolina than we did when

1:02:39.360 --> 1:02:40.439
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid. We got a lot more white

1:02:40.480 --> 1:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>tail deer than we have when I was a kid. Um,

1:02:43.320 --> 1:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>there's just like the landscape is supporting a larger biomass

1:02:49.760 --> 1:02:53.320
<v Speaker 1>under the system of all of the feed where you're

1:02:53.320 --> 1:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>turning like marginal habitat, you're taking like what's missing, Like, well,

1:02:57.320 --> 1:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>what are the things that are missing that would make

1:02:59.000 --> 1:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>this just place? Ex blowed with numbers, You're like, well,

1:03:01.400 --> 1:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>food and water. Okay, well let's fix it. Let's bringing

1:03:04.000 --> 1:03:06.440
<v Speaker 1>food and water. You wind up with something like very different.

1:03:07.280 --> 1:03:09.920
<v Speaker 1>But you can't really readily going and just attack it

1:03:10.040 --> 1:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>from top to bottom because if you just if you're

1:03:14.440 --> 1:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>going like, well, how are we going to quantify the

1:03:16.280 --> 1:03:19.400
<v Speaker 1>health of the ecosystem, Let's do it by counting up

1:03:19.400 --> 1:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>how many pounds and animals are running around out here.

1:03:21.800 --> 1:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>You look at that and you'd be like, it's made

1:03:24.000 --> 1:03:26.640
<v Speaker 1>a big improvement. There was a lot more poundage of wildlife.

1:03:27.080 --> 1:03:28.880
<v Speaker 1>But our people might be like yeah, but everything about

1:03:28.960 --> 1:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>like the way it uses the landscape, how it's moved,

1:03:31.200 --> 1:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>just all the dynamics. You know, you've interrupted all that.

1:03:34.720 --> 1:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>And some people might be like, hey, you're right, well

1:03:36.400 --> 1:03:38.920
<v Speaker 1>there's the negative, and then they would be like, but

1:03:40.240 --> 1:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of animals, every life is so complicated. That's

1:03:44.680 --> 1:03:50.919
<v Speaker 1>what I found. Kl Um. This guy, we're talking about

1:03:50.920 --> 1:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>shooting fawns. Someone's like, what's the morality behind shooting fawns? Now,

1:03:55.040 --> 1:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying I don't. I don't think there's any it's

1:03:57.160 --> 1:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>not a moral there's no moral decision to be made.

1:04:00.040 --> 1:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>This guy writes in to say that we shouldn't be

1:04:03.040 --> 1:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>harvesting animals that haven't achieved skeletal maturity because you're not

1:04:10.000 --> 1:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>getting maximum output out of the animal. He thinks it's

1:04:13.440 --> 1:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>premature to shoot a fawn m hm, to pull so

1:04:19.760 --> 1:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you shoot. We're talking about a falling, talking about like

1:04:21.600 --> 1:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>a deer drops around Memorial Day, right, and then you

1:04:24.640 --> 1:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>shoot in the fall. You know, like you don't have

1:04:26.840 --> 1:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to hear people say they shot a buck. This just

1:04:29.320 --> 1:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>like real basic stuff for people who aren't tuned into

1:04:31.440 --> 1:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>this kind of junk. You know, people say, like people

1:04:33.760 --> 1:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>talk about deer like they'll be like, I killed the buck.

1:04:35.840 --> 1:04:37.160
<v Speaker 1>He was one and a half, he was two and

1:04:37.200 --> 1:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>a half, he was three and a half. The reason

1:04:38.480 --> 1:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>they're always throwing in the half is because they're born

1:04:41.040 --> 1:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>in the spring and typically hunted in the fall, so

1:04:44.240 --> 1:04:46.280
<v Speaker 1>you always got like the half. So people say they're

1:04:46.280 --> 1:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>shooting a phone, but the really time was just shooting

1:04:47.920 --> 1:04:50.320
<v Speaker 1>a six month old thing. And you're talking about a

1:04:50.360 --> 1:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>species of the life expectancy are too. It's not that little,

1:04:52.760 --> 1:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's little. You always hear like deer of the

1:04:55.680 --> 1:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>year or fawn of the year, faun of the year

1:04:57.520 --> 1:05:00.600
<v Speaker 1>born that spring. So when you shoot one and the

1:05:00.680 --> 1:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>thing way it's sixty pounds or whatever, and you get

1:05:02.760 --> 1:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a forty you know yield, right. Um, he's saying that,

1:05:06.560 --> 1:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>it's just like a premature harvest. Yeah, and I thought

1:05:09.680 --> 1:05:11.280
<v Speaker 1>we kind of covered that. That was kind of one

1:05:11.320 --> 1:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>of my grips with even shooting cafe elk. Everybody's like, oh,

1:05:15.440 --> 1:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the veal of the veal. I'm like, yeah, but you

1:05:17.360 --> 1:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>get like fifty or sixty pounds, man, And if you

1:05:20.000 --> 1:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>shoot a two year old cow, you're almost double than

1:05:22.960 --> 1:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that usually for sure. I like his term skeletal maturity

1:05:30.360 --> 1:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>here's a hard one to answer. This guy wants to

1:05:33.960 --> 1:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>know Adam um mixed experiences with atoms throughout my life.

1:05:38.720 --> 1:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Warning to give him the benefit of the doubt, he says, like,

1:05:41.960 --> 1:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>do you think each state has its own hunting subculture?

1:05:48.720 --> 1:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Does the state have a hunting culture? I would say

1:05:53.040 --> 1:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>no for states, but regions? Do you think so? Oh yeah?

1:06:00.120 --> 1:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Definitely expand on that, man, Um, I guess either works, right,

1:06:09.560 --> 1:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you can't. Yeah, go ah, I've grappled with that in

1:06:12.360 --> 1:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the past. You can expand or expand. I don't carry, honny,

1:06:15.400 --> 1:06:21.640
<v Speaker 1>what everyone seems wrong hunting culture by region or by state? UM,

1:06:21.680 --> 1:06:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that you could probably find a little like

1:06:24.360 --> 1:06:28.160
<v Speaker 1>nuances about hunting culture in certain states and be like, oh, yeah,

1:06:28.240 --> 1:06:30.439
<v Speaker 1>that's just like a total Idaho thing, you know, But

1:06:31.240 --> 1:06:34.160
<v Speaker 1>it probably more more likely you'd be able to break

1:06:34.240 --> 1:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>the country across like the classic regions of northwest, southeast, northeast,

1:06:41.400 --> 1:06:45.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, Midwest, UM, and sort of find things that

1:06:45.120 --> 1:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>are you know, uh, maybe tactics that are more accepted

1:06:49.840 --> 1:06:52.320
<v Speaker 1>one place or another, Like you and I grew up.

1:06:52.360 --> 1:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, did you guys? Do money drives deer drives?

1:06:55.080 --> 1:06:56.400
<v Speaker 1>So where you brought that up because I was the

1:06:56.440 --> 1:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>guy rolled in and wanted to know the morality of

1:06:58.520 --> 1:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>deer drives, like, I mean, that's like, that's how I mean.

1:07:01.920 --> 1:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I was kind of I grew up in deer drive culture. Yeah,

1:07:04.040 --> 1:07:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and we do. I mean we did. It was funny

1:07:05.480 --> 1:07:08.080
<v Speaker 1>because you just like you go right from the evening

1:07:08.120 --> 1:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>before you'd still be in full archery mode, setting up

1:07:12.880 --> 1:07:15.440
<v Speaker 1>stands and hunting deer on the ground and trying to

1:07:15.480 --> 1:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>get close. And then the next day you would just

1:07:18.400 --> 1:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>like flip the switch and it's like dudes just pushing

1:07:21.040 --> 1:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>through the woods running deer and you're you know, taking

1:07:24.120 --> 1:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>running shots at deer. I mean I killed my first

1:07:26.240 --> 1:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>deer and he was screaming and buy me at ten

1:07:28.640 --> 1:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>or fit twenty yards, you know. And we didn't switch

1:07:30.920 --> 1:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>into drive mold. We had a ten day or two

1:07:33.040 --> 1:07:36.479
<v Speaker 1>week rifle season whatever it was. Um, we didn't switch

1:07:36.520 --> 1:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>into drive mold to the last couple of days, and

1:07:39.520 --> 1:07:41.080
<v Speaker 1>you were kind of an a hole if you were

1:07:41.080 --> 1:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>out driving deer early in the season. We do. We

1:07:44.800 --> 1:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>do opening. We would sit opening morning for two to

1:07:48.320 --> 1:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>three four hours. Doug they have like in Wisconsin and

1:07:52.320 --> 1:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the Doug during property dug during family property they have

1:07:55.480 --> 1:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>a light drive, a gentle drive that they call the moot.

1:08:00.160 --> 1:08:02.280
<v Speaker 1>They'll start mooching the second day of the season. But

1:08:02.360 --> 1:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a gentle drive. It's not like dudes lined up

1:08:05.680 --> 1:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>banging pots and pans and stuff, you know, which is

1:08:08.160 --> 1:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>we kind of grew up driving deer, not with pots

1:08:10.200 --> 1:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and pans. But it was like, yeah, it was a

1:08:14.440 --> 1:08:17.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys in the woods, but that okay, couple

1:08:17.080 --> 1:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>of a couple of your guys camp stuff too. Yeah,

1:08:20.439 --> 1:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>like the car, the camp that you went to. Yeah,

1:08:23.120 --> 1:08:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna bring up just a couple of differences

1:08:25.200 --> 1:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>that I've seen between just the two regions that have

1:08:28.479 --> 1:08:30.640
<v Speaker 1>hunted a lot in, which would be the Midwest and

1:08:30.680 --> 1:08:37.040
<v Speaker 1>then the Inner Mountain Rockies. Um, but like uh, deer

1:08:37.200 --> 1:08:40.519
<v Speaker 1>poles or meat hanging polls. Right, Like, we have a

1:08:40.560 --> 1:08:42.840
<v Speaker 1>picture of every single year that I've been at that

1:08:42.880 --> 1:08:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Wisconsin deer camp, of most of the deer unless someone

1:08:45.720 --> 1:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>left early and took theirs, but hung up on a

1:08:47.760 --> 1:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>pole and all of us standing in front of it.

1:08:50.080 --> 1:08:52.439
<v Speaker 1>And it's like a picture that's taken not really to

1:08:52.520 --> 1:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>like be like, oh, look at everything we killed, but

1:08:55.080 --> 1:08:59.519
<v Speaker 1>it's sort of just it commemorates in UM archives the hunt,

1:09:00.120 --> 1:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>right and like who was there? How many deer were killed,

1:09:03.240 --> 1:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>so that you know it was a good year bad

1:09:05.080 --> 1:09:10.639
<v Speaker 1>here um attracts time, yeah, but a lot like so.

1:09:10.720 --> 1:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>And then if you compare that to out West, like

1:09:14.479 --> 1:09:17.840
<v Speaker 1>deer drives and I think meat poles are by a

1:09:17.840 --> 1:09:20.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of like Western hunters are kind of considered like

1:09:20.640 --> 1:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>not not cool, you know, not part of the culture. Yea,

1:09:24.160 --> 1:09:26.519
<v Speaker 1>not part of the culture. Well, the deer drive thing,

1:09:26.680 --> 1:09:30.200
<v Speaker 1>like we did some some drives here and there for

1:09:30.240 --> 1:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the large part, I would say, completely unsuccessful. But you're

1:09:37.240 --> 1:09:41.040
<v Speaker 1>dealing with bigger chunks of ground, right typically, right, Yeah,

1:09:41.280 --> 1:09:44.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just not as manageable because you're generally driving like

1:09:44.360 --> 1:09:47.080
<v Speaker 1>when you're doing deer drives, you're driving places that have

1:09:47.720 --> 1:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>way more dear per unit of space then you're gonna

1:09:52.880 --> 1:09:56.280
<v Speaker 1>have in the West, and we always had way fewer people. Two.

1:09:56.439 --> 1:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, if you really want to find success

1:10:00.040 --> 1:10:03.360
<v Speaker 1>on a drive, the number of hunters you have to

1:10:03.400 --> 1:10:07.679
<v Speaker 1>have has to be way higher, and we just never had,

1:10:09.240 --> 1:10:12.479
<v Speaker 1>you know. That's why the whole deer camp thing it is.

1:10:12.520 --> 1:10:14.479
<v Speaker 1>So it was always so weird to me in the

1:10:14.520 --> 1:10:18.559
<v Speaker 1>West because it was like, yeah, where everybody together artist

1:10:19.000 --> 1:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>artisans small batch drives too. Like the first deer I

1:10:22.160 --> 1:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>killed when I was third team was on an artisans

1:10:24.040 --> 1:10:28.880
<v Speaker 1>small batch drive. There's a four man drive, and that's

1:10:28.920 --> 1:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>when you know how the deer, you know what they do,

1:10:33.000 --> 1:10:36.479
<v Speaker 1>you know how they respond. So like there's this creek,

1:10:36.640 --> 1:10:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Mosquito Creek, and there's this big sort of bend in

1:10:39.920 --> 1:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the creek, and when deer get bumped out of that bend,

1:10:41.960 --> 1:10:46.639
<v Speaker 1>they go up, you know, the second ridge down every year,

1:10:47.200 --> 1:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and every year someone's gonna kill a deer coming out

1:10:49.800 --> 1:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>of that bend in the creek going up that second ridge.

1:10:53.400 --> 1:10:55.920
<v Speaker 1>And so then it just as a matter of you say, hey,

1:10:55.960 --> 1:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>at ten, I'll post up on the ridge and you

1:10:59.320 --> 1:11:01.960
<v Speaker 1>go down in the big band and you know it's

1:11:01.960 --> 1:11:04.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna work. You can't do it the next day, it

1:11:04.600 --> 1:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>definitely won't work, but every year it'll work. Yeah. So

1:11:08.240 --> 1:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>that's like a kind of a different sort of drive

1:11:09.920 --> 1:11:11.840
<v Speaker 1>in the big pop bang and drives. You could also

1:11:11.880 --> 1:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>do um. A subculture that I used to struggle with

1:11:18.640 --> 1:11:20.799
<v Speaker 1>but now I understand it is when you see hunting

1:11:20.840 --> 1:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>pictures from Arizona in Utah, why how there's so many

1:11:26.120 --> 1:11:29.600
<v Speaker 1>people in the picture like a Gripp and Grin and

1:11:29.760 --> 1:11:33.559
<v Speaker 1>Arizona gripp and Grin will have a dozen guys Utah

1:11:33.640 --> 1:11:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the same way. And I used to be like, why

1:11:36.080 --> 1:11:39.400
<v Speaker 1>is that? Then I realized it's because they you know,

1:11:39.479 --> 1:11:43.479
<v Speaker 1>you don't have huge populations of wildlife there and it's

1:11:43.520 --> 1:11:46.800
<v Speaker 1>hard to draw tags. So to draw like an Elk

1:11:46.840 --> 1:11:48.680
<v Speaker 1>tag in Arizona is you know, if you live in

1:11:48.720 --> 1:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Arizona and you draw an Elk tag, it's a big deal.

1:11:51.160 --> 1:11:54.160
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of your bodies didn't draw an Elk tag. Yes,

1:11:54.240 --> 1:11:57.639
<v Speaker 1>so if you want hunt every year, so helping somebody out, Yeah,

1:11:57.680 --> 1:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>So we now that we like have friends in Arizona

1:12:00.040 --> 1:12:02.160
<v Speaker 1>who are have sort of a tribe, you know, like

1:12:02.200 --> 1:12:03.880
<v Speaker 1>a group of guys that hang out with it they

1:12:03.920 --> 1:12:07.160
<v Speaker 1>hunt with. When one of them draws, it's just a

1:12:07.400 --> 1:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a thing that yeah, we're all gonna do it.

1:12:09.280 --> 1:12:12.040
<v Speaker 1>So if some so draw some sweet elt tag, everybody

1:12:12.040 --> 1:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>wants to get involved and everybody wants to go hunt.

1:12:14.560 --> 1:12:16.200
<v Speaker 1>So all of a sudden, he's got eight barties that

1:12:16.240 --> 1:12:21.639
<v Speaker 1>all want to go too because someone's got his tag. Now,

1:12:21.760 --> 1:12:23.680
<v Speaker 1>if you get up in a state like like Colorado

1:12:23.760 --> 1:12:29.040
<v Speaker 1>with like you know, vastly more elk than the other state.

1:12:29.320 --> 1:12:32.719
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's got a ELK tag. Yours out hunting onesies, twos,

1:12:32.760 --> 1:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>these threezies. You don't need to have eight guys because

1:12:36.360 --> 1:12:38.040
<v Speaker 1>those eight guys all got their own tags. You're like,

1:12:38.080 --> 1:12:41.160
<v Speaker 1>you do your thing, I'll do mine. It's more individualistic.

1:12:41.600 --> 1:12:43.680
<v Speaker 1>But it's like a communal form of hunting down there.

1:12:46.200 --> 1:12:49.160
<v Speaker 1>And that's why you see these big packs of dudes

1:12:50.120 --> 1:12:53.400
<v Speaker 1>standing behind some animal. I couldn't do it. Drive drive

1:12:53.479 --> 1:12:56.400
<v Speaker 1>me insane. Well they also but they also radio. Yeah,

1:12:56.439 --> 1:12:59.320
<v Speaker 1>they radio hunt down there. Yeah. So Jennie, what you're

1:12:59.320 --> 1:13:04.439
<v Speaker 1>doing is everybody's out glass and um theyroreout glass and

1:13:04.439 --> 1:13:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and then when they find something they just through text

1:13:06.880 --> 1:13:11.760
<v Speaker 1>messages or radios convey its location. Yeah. It's just like

1:13:11.800 --> 1:13:15.280
<v Speaker 1>a way, it's like a hunting culture. Yeah, and and

1:13:15.320 --> 1:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I Understandyeah, I imagine it'd be very successful for me.

1:13:18.880 --> 1:13:26.040
<v Speaker 1>It would just like lead to paralytic indecision, information overloading. Yes,

1:13:26.320 --> 1:13:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and then you got like that like again, like that

1:13:28.040 --> 1:13:31.080
<v Speaker 1>South Texas hunting culture where there's no public land or

1:13:31.160 --> 1:13:37.360
<v Speaker 1>virtually no public land. Um, it's general practice to use

1:13:37.920 --> 1:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>corn to bring to your out of an area that's

1:13:40.160 --> 1:13:42.640
<v Speaker 1>otherwise very difficult to find them and to concentrate them.

1:13:43.280 --> 1:13:47.200
<v Speaker 1>There's general practice to huntt of elevated tripod stands or whatever,

1:13:47.439 --> 1:13:50.439
<v Speaker 1>elevated platforms, and it creates like a sort of culture

1:13:50.640 --> 1:13:55.639
<v Speaker 1>around that. That's like how deer hunting works. Uh. We

1:13:55.640 --> 1:13:58.439
<v Speaker 1>were down at the Dallas Fire Club Show a couple

1:13:58.479 --> 1:14:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of weeks ago, and unbelievable amount of Texas residence saying

1:14:08.680 --> 1:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>we're going out and we're gonna hunt public land this year.

1:14:11.439 --> 1:14:16.440
<v Speaker 1>And they're all going out of state, lots of New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming,

1:14:17.000 --> 1:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>some Montana, but all like I gotta go try out

1:14:21.040 --> 1:14:24.519
<v Speaker 1>this public land hunting stuff because we just can't do

1:14:24.560 --> 1:14:28.599
<v Speaker 1>anything around here. Yeah, pretty cool to see. Here's another

1:14:28.640 --> 1:14:32.240
<v Speaker 1>one guy named Patrick. I've always had great luck with

1:14:32.280 --> 1:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Patrick's uh plan to hunt the future and have a

1:14:34.760 --> 1:14:36.639
<v Speaker 1>question that's yet to be Oh, this guy's never even

1:14:36.680 --> 1:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>been hunting. It's not been addressed anywhere. He's sure after

1:14:41.120 --> 1:14:45.240
<v Speaker 1>looking everywhere. Why does no one mention harvesting the diaphragm

1:14:45.640 --> 1:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>from a deer or elk We've not even kind of true,

1:14:51.400 --> 1:14:54.880
<v Speaker 1>but no one's mentioned it. Yeah, skirt steak, So when

1:14:54.920 --> 1:14:57.519
<v Speaker 1>you got it's just small on the deer. Like when

1:14:57.520 --> 1:15:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you open up a deer, where the diet for am

1:15:01.920 --> 1:15:05.040
<v Speaker 1>fastens to the rib cage, there's sort of like a

1:15:05.080 --> 1:15:08.080
<v Speaker 1>little like the diaphragm kind of t bones. This makes sense.

1:15:08.120 --> 1:15:11.519
<v Speaker 1>It kind of t bones into the rib cage and

1:15:11.560 --> 1:15:17.479
<v Speaker 1>there's a big piece of of of stride it or

1:15:17.560 --> 1:15:22.439
<v Speaker 1>like stringy kind of meat that's long and thin. It's

1:15:22.479 --> 1:15:24.639
<v Speaker 1>like a like a Hershey's bar would be like four

1:15:24.720 --> 1:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Hersh's bars or two three Hershey's bars set end to

1:15:27.760 --> 1:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>end right diameter in length to hers She's bars laid

1:15:33.439 --> 1:15:36.439
<v Speaker 1>end to end, let's say. And that's where the diet.

1:15:36.479 --> 1:15:41.920
<v Speaker 1>That's how the diaphragm joined to the cavity. Now that

1:15:42.080 --> 1:15:45.800
<v Speaker 1>skirt steak, is it a continuation of the diaphragm or

1:15:45.840 --> 1:15:50.040
<v Speaker 1>the skirt steak it's like the diaphragm from the ribs back. No,

1:15:50.120 --> 1:15:53.439
<v Speaker 1>it's like the diaphragm sort of goes out and that's

1:15:53.439 --> 1:15:56.280
<v Speaker 1>how it's sort of welded, which is an anatomical term.

1:15:56.280 --> 1:16:00.120
<v Speaker 1>But the diaphram kind of welded to the the the

1:16:00.400 --> 1:16:03.160
<v Speaker 1>body of the animal. And when you go and get

1:16:03.920 --> 1:16:09.280
<v Speaker 1>uh carne a saba that's in a Mexican restaurant, that's

1:16:09.320 --> 1:16:12.920
<v Speaker 1>what you're getting. And on deer, it's just really small

1:16:13.439 --> 1:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>on elk and moves. It's like legit, like you can

1:16:15.880 --> 1:16:23.320
<v Speaker 1>make like full on balls out fajitas with the skirt. Yeah.

1:16:23.439 --> 1:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if anyone who takes like the who

1:16:26.080 --> 1:16:29.680
<v Speaker 1>who does anything besides maybe grind up the actual diaphragm.

1:16:29.720 --> 1:16:34.280
<v Speaker 1>But that skirt steak portion is usable, which is the

1:16:34.280 --> 1:16:38.240
<v Speaker 1>one that you're talking about that basically flaps below the

1:16:38.320 --> 1:16:42.560
<v Speaker 1>ribs going back. It's very close to below the ribs,

1:16:42.600 --> 1:16:46.320
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's yeah, it's kind of like where our

1:16:46.400 --> 1:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>our ribs really start to v and and angle back.

1:16:51.800 --> 1:16:56.040
<v Speaker 1>That's where the the right right at the syphoid process

1:16:57.280 --> 1:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>where the ribs come together. Yeah, so I think on

1:17:00.000 --> 1:17:01.800
<v Speaker 1>do you just don't really notice because it's really small

1:17:01.800 --> 1:17:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and moves. When you open that thing up, you're like,

1:17:03.439 --> 1:17:07.320
<v Speaker 1>holy ship, that's a big chunk of meat. Yeah. Yeah,

1:17:07.400 --> 1:17:11.400
<v Speaker 1>but you guys aren't answering my questions. Still, that could

1:17:11.400 --> 1:17:14.400
<v Speaker 1>be it doesn't taper back like it's but you know,

1:17:14.560 --> 1:17:16.960
<v Speaker 1>when you when you got an animal. Okay, so yeah,

1:17:17.040 --> 1:17:20.639
<v Speaker 1>you're calling that then the flank steak, yes, and then

1:17:20.640 --> 1:17:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the skirt being a diaphragm yes, Oh the flank, yeah

1:17:24.600 --> 1:17:27.800
<v Speaker 1>is the well and I always grew up calling the

1:17:27.880 --> 1:17:34.439
<v Speaker 1>paunch m yeah, which should be your sides blow your ribs,

1:17:34.439 --> 1:17:37.160
<v Speaker 1>but above your hip bone, below your ribs. Or's this

1:17:37.160 --> 1:17:39.400
<v Speaker 1>this thin thing the paunch? We call that the paunch

1:17:39.520 --> 1:17:43.400
<v Speaker 1>that you just grind up. It's low quality meat and

1:17:43.560 --> 1:17:46.760
<v Speaker 1>has a very strong bit of fashion in there, or

1:17:46.840 --> 1:17:50.880
<v Speaker 1>like a like a thick. It's where love handles form. Yes,

1:17:51.320 --> 1:17:55.880
<v Speaker 1>there you go. No, yeah, I'm pinching mind. I believe

1:17:55.960 --> 1:17:57.880
<v Speaker 1>that's where it would be. I've been putting a lot

1:17:57.920 --> 1:18:03.599
<v Speaker 1>of work in love. It is really a thing like, yes,

1:18:04.000 --> 1:18:07.720
<v Speaker 1>you're like I need something to grab onto, grab on

1:18:07.960 --> 1:18:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the love handle. Oh no, no, no, I think that's

1:18:10.720 --> 1:18:16.479
<v Speaker 1>a marketing spin one. Okay, it's like an ironic, is it?

1:18:17.040 --> 1:18:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Because it just seems like like, I don't know, I

1:18:19.640 --> 1:18:22.439
<v Speaker 1>just have a hard time with it. That's the hand

1:18:22.479 --> 1:18:28.599
<v Speaker 1>that that's when one needs purchased. That's where they find it.

1:18:30.600 --> 1:18:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, um, quickie, there's a quickie. There's a quickie,

1:18:36.760 --> 1:18:43.120
<v Speaker 1>then a quickie, then a long. This first quick is

1:18:43.120 --> 1:18:46.920
<v Speaker 1>a question, second quick is the observation. The third long

1:18:47.479 --> 1:18:50.960
<v Speaker 1>is just a whole different thing. Uh. This guy says

1:18:51.000 --> 1:18:54.040
<v Speaker 1>to say, how do you sharpen your knife found in

1:18:54.080 --> 1:18:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the field. He talks about he's got a bench made

1:18:58.000 --> 1:19:01.280
<v Speaker 1>saddle Mountain skinny knife, which is a damn fine knife.

1:19:01.439 --> 1:19:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Agreed Um. He goes on to say that how a

1:19:04.920 --> 1:19:06.640
<v Speaker 1>bench man has a deal where you can send your

1:19:06.680 --> 1:19:09.559
<v Speaker 1>knife in and get it sharpened, which he likes. But

1:19:09.680 --> 1:19:12.000
<v Speaker 1>let's say you're out hunting and you've gotta you're gonna

1:19:12.000 --> 1:19:14.320
<v Speaker 1>be skinning a couple of different animals. How do you

1:19:14.439 --> 1:19:20.200
<v Speaker 1>what do you how do you sharpen out in the field? Well,

1:19:20.439 --> 1:19:25.040
<v Speaker 1>bench mate also makes you use their sharpeners. Yeah, it

1:19:25.080 --> 1:19:27.720
<v Speaker 1>happens a little one of the big one. Honestly, I

1:19:27.760 --> 1:19:30.439
<v Speaker 1>think the big one is well worth packing if you're

1:19:30.439 --> 1:19:34.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna really stick with a true fixed blade knife. And

1:19:34.160 --> 1:19:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember what it's called, but it's got a

1:19:35.760 --> 1:19:39.120
<v Speaker 1>ceramic part to it. It's got kind of a course

1:19:39.200 --> 1:19:43.840
<v Speaker 1>and a fine diamond sharpener on there and and yeah, man,

1:19:44.560 --> 1:19:49.599
<v Speaker 1>a little minimal bit of practice and you can sharpen,

1:19:49.760 --> 1:19:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean sharp sharpen those things. Yeah, it's a little

1:19:52.560 --> 1:19:54.439
<v Speaker 1>it's a little heavy and a little clunky, but it

1:19:54.439 --> 1:19:56.719
<v Speaker 1>depends what you're up to, Like, if you're out hunting

1:19:56.720 --> 1:19:58.439
<v Speaker 1>where you're you know, let's say you and your buddies

1:19:58.479 --> 1:20:02.360
<v Speaker 1>are out hunting anilope you're not one or two a day. Um,

1:20:02.520 --> 1:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>then I'll be like, okay, this warrants bringing like more sharpening.

1:20:06.240 --> 1:20:08.360
<v Speaker 1>If just going out on for one thing, I don't

1:20:08.400 --> 1:20:10.679
<v Speaker 1>worry about it. I used just carry like a little

1:20:11.520 --> 1:20:16.360
<v Speaker 1>just like basically a little teeny teeny diamond hone it.

1:20:16.360 --> 1:20:18.680
<v Speaker 1>But it's like you get so much more to have

1:20:18.760 --> 1:20:23.120
<v Speaker 1>an actual yes, an actual face to to sharpen on.

1:20:23.280 --> 1:20:26.800
<v Speaker 1>If you bring a multitool of some sort, you can

1:20:26.880 --> 1:20:30.120
<v Speaker 1>use the hard edges on that, you know, straighten out

1:20:30.160 --> 1:20:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the edge of your of your blade, which is typically

1:20:34.560 --> 1:20:37.519
<v Speaker 1>more than enough to keep you keep you running. I

1:20:37.560 --> 1:20:39.400
<v Speaker 1>feel if you want to be minimalist, you know, and

1:20:39.520 --> 1:20:41.599
<v Speaker 1>you're bringing that. What I like about them that bench

1:20:41.680 --> 1:20:45.080
<v Speaker 1>made deals. It's got the angle so it's like molded

1:20:45.120 --> 1:20:47.679
<v Speaker 1>into it. There's there's like a big diamond honer, not big,

1:20:47.720 --> 1:20:50.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a diamond honer face on it, but molded into

1:20:50.840 --> 1:20:54.839
<v Speaker 1>the molded into the sharpener is the is a set bevil.

1:20:56.080 --> 1:20:58.160
<v Speaker 1>So each swipe you take you can lay it up

1:20:58.160 --> 1:21:01.040
<v Speaker 1>on that beveled piece and it sets your angle. You

1:21:01.040 --> 1:21:03.719
<v Speaker 1>gotta doesn't hold your angle. You gotta maintain the angle

1:21:03.760 --> 1:21:06.559
<v Speaker 1>as you swipe, but it establishes your angle to go

1:21:06.600 --> 1:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>on there and sharpener up. It's got like a little

1:21:10.080 --> 1:21:12.760
<v Speaker 1>leather strappy thing on and a ceramic rod on it.

1:21:13.040 --> 1:21:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what. It's called guided field sharpener and

1:21:18.439 --> 1:21:22.720
<v Speaker 1>it's got a hook sharpener on it. Guided field sharpener.

1:21:24.160 --> 1:21:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Thea you can sharpen sread knives, scissors. We all know

1:21:30.000 --> 1:21:31.559
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of ways of skin of cap. There's

1:21:31.600 --> 1:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>more ways to sharpen a knife. This is one of them,

1:21:34.040 --> 1:21:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's like I like it. But if you take

1:21:36.400 --> 1:21:40.479
<v Speaker 1>a brand new blade out of the box and you're

1:21:41.000 --> 1:21:43.840
<v Speaker 1>careful with it, it does not take much at all

1:21:43.920 --> 1:21:47.160
<v Speaker 1>to get that thing sharp sharp if you don't mess

1:21:47.160 --> 1:21:49.479
<v Speaker 1>it up. Yeah, I think that's the key, is uh,

1:21:49.720 --> 1:21:52.960
<v Speaker 1>staying on top of your maintenance. Don't let it get

1:21:53.360 --> 1:21:59.360
<v Speaker 1>doll Yeah. And what dolls knives more than anything in

1:21:59.400 --> 1:22:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the whole wide world is bone. Mm hmmm, and dirt

1:22:05.360 --> 1:22:11.880
<v Speaker 1>hair bone is bad hair. Dolls bone messes up. Get

1:22:11.960 --> 1:22:14.519
<v Speaker 1>some mud in that hair when you like, can you

1:22:14.560 --> 1:22:18.080
<v Speaker 1>watch your buddy come in, you know, come into like

1:22:18.680 --> 1:22:21.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of shank or something off and you're like, oh boy,

1:22:21.439 --> 1:22:24.000
<v Speaker 1>that's not I think the knife ruining. This activity I

1:22:24.040 --> 1:22:29.479
<v Speaker 1>know about is when you're skinning out ahead for like

1:22:29.800 --> 1:22:32.639
<v Speaker 1>whatever whatever reason you're doing it, caeping something or skinning

1:22:32.640 --> 1:22:34.840
<v Speaker 1>it out for a euro amount, and you get your

1:22:34.920 --> 1:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>knife in there and you're working the you're working off

1:22:38.360 --> 1:22:42.640
<v Speaker 1>the hide around the pedicles. Yeah, that's a knife ruining activity.

1:22:43.960 --> 1:22:47.960
<v Speaker 1>That's almost like throwing knives at rocks. Oh here in

1:22:48.000 --> 1:22:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the knife the blade hit the teeth too. That just

1:22:50.200 --> 1:22:53.880
<v Speaker 1>send shivers up my spine just thinking about it. Oh yeah,

1:22:54.080 --> 1:22:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I can usually carry the little they called the tacticle sharpener.

1:22:58.360 --> 1:23:01.160
<v Speaker 1>They have a mini version too, but it's only a

1:23:01.240 --> 1:23:07.000
<v Speaker 1>couple three inches long. It's got the ceramic V notch yeah,

1:23:07.040 --> 1:23:11.080
<v Speaker 1>and the stone. So I just use that little V

1:23:11.200 --> 1:23:13.760
<v Speaker 1>notch and just you know, through an elk, maybe hit

1:23:13.800 --> 1:23:18.320
<v Speaker 1>it two, three, four times and uh, just to keep

1:23:18.320 --> 1:23:22.320
<v Speaker 1>an eye on her, just keep her straight. Keeper. What's

1:23:22.360 --> 1:23:23.920
<v Speaker 1>that thing called? I have one of those two. I

1:23:23.960 --> 1:23:25.960
<v Speaker 1>carry it if I'm like, if I can't justify my

1:23:26.040 --> 1:23:28.679
<v Speaker 1>big thing, it's called the tactical. If I can't justify

1:23:28.720 --> 1:23:31.439
<v Speaker 1>my big full on sharpener, then I'll grab that little

1:23:31.520 --> 1:23:34.240
<v Speaker 1>V notch. Deally but I like, I kind of like

1:23:34.320 --> 1:23:39.200
<v Speaker 1>became suspicious of those V notch dealis, I think you

1:23:39.320 --> 1:23:42.280
<v Speaker 1>can unless you take the time to really line that

1:23:42.320 --> 1:23:45.040
<v Speaker 1>thing up perfectly vertical and the V notch, you can

1:23:45.360 --> 1:23:50.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of mess your devil edge up a little bit. Uh.

1:23:50.479 --> 1:23:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Here's the observation that was the question. Here's the observation.

1:23:54.360 --> 1:23:58.519
<v Speaker 1>This guy says, you guys were struggling with a term.

1:23:58.600 --> 1:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I think you were trying to refer to the Alley effect. Now,

1:24:01.800 --> 1:24:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the Allee effect, because when you're talking about a population

1:24:05.600 --> 1:24:11.360
<v Speaker 1>not being able to recover from low numbers, meaning there

1:24:11.360 --> 1:24:15.640
<v Speaker 1>are like critical population levels at which certain social aspects

1:24:15.760 --> 1:24:19.880
<v Speaker 1>important for reproduction begin to break down. So mean, like,

1:24:19.960 --> 1:24:23.040
<v Speaker 1>let's say you have a large um, there's a there's

1:24:23.040 --> 1:24:26.720
<v Speaker 1>a reproductive strategy called predator swamping. For instance, Let's say

1:24:26.760 --> 1:24:29.879
<v Speaker 1>you have like like picture a large collection of say geese,

1:24:31.000 --> 1:24:33.679
<v Speaker 1>and these geese all lay their eggs at the same time,

1:24:35.439 --> 1:24:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and hundreds of geese, and they're all in an area,

1:24:37.280 --> 1:24:39.000
<v Speaker 1>they all build a nest at the same time, they

1:24:39.040 --> 1:24:41.040
<v Speaker 1>all lay their eggs at the same time, all those

1:24:41.040 --> 1:24:44.160
<v Speaker 1>eggs hatch at the same time. There will be a

1:24:44.200 --> 1:24:47.679
<v Speaker 1>lot of predators lurking around, But since all of those

1:24:47.720 --> 1:24:50.760
<v Speaker 1>hatchlings all emerged together at the same time, it's called

1:24:50.760 --> 1:24:54.400
<v Speaker 1>predators swamping, where the predators can gorge themselves and gorge

1:24:54.400 --> 1:24:57.880
<v Speaker 1>themselves and gorge themselves, but they can't get them all

1:24:59.000 --> 1:25:01.040
<v Speaker 1>because they're all hiding the ground at the same time.

1:25:01.880 --> 1:25:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Whereas let's say it took the same of the same

1:25:05.200 --> 1:25:07.719
<v Speaker 1>set of circumstances, but let it play out over a month,

1:25:09.160 --> 1:25:13.320
<v Speaker 1>where every day just some percentage of of these eggs hatched,

1:25:14.160 --> 1:25:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and the predators could every day gobble up the small

1:25:17.320 --> 1:25:21.160
<v Speaker 1>available thing, you would end up where they could feasibly

1:25:21.200 --> 1:25:23.720
<v Speaker 1>get them all. But with predators swamping, you're creating such

1:25:23.760 --> 1:25:27.479
<v Speaker 1>a like a a deluge of offspring getting put out

1:25:27.520 --> 1:25:29.920
<v Speaker 1>there that the predators can't They just don't have a

1:25:30.040 --> 1:25:33.680
<v Speaker 1>chance of getting them all during that that window of vulnerability.

1:25:33.920 --> 1:25:37.160
<v Speaker 1>So likewise, if you'll see the like like elk, for instance,

1:25:37.360 --> 1:25:39.840
<v Speaker 1>will sometimes gather up in very large groups, like you

1:25:39.880 --> 1:25:44.080
<v Speaker 1>might see two hundred three hundred cows in their calving grounds,

1:25:44.400 --> 1:25:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and those calves are all hitting the ground over of

1:25:46.040 --> 1:25:49.479
<v Speaker 1>course of a couple of days, preferably right, and you've

1:25:49.479 --> 1:25:51.280
<v Speaker 1>got some predators hanging around, but they can't get them

1:25:51.280 --> 1:25:54.400
<v Speaker 1>all and then the calves are very vulnerable for a

1:25:54.400 --> 1:25:58.280
<v Speaker 1>couple of days um, but then they're up on their

1:25:58.280 --> 1:26:00.560
<v Speaker 1>feet and everybody's find they can run in. The ulnerability

1:26:00.600 --> 1:26:03.559
<v Speaker 1>goes down and you have some survival. So the alley effect,

1:26:04.080 --> 1:26:10.519
<v Speaker 1>they're only effect is when you reduce a population down

1:26:10.720 --> 1:26:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and then to wind up being that it's hit like catastrophe,

1:26:13.280 --> 1:26:16.880
<v Speaker 1>low levels like that. You can't just have some. Either

1:26:16.920 --> 1:26:19.840
<v Speaker 1>have to have a whole bunch, or you're gonna have none,

1:26:20.320 --> 1:26:22.600
<v Speaker 1>because they need lots in order for them to be

1:26:22.640 --> 1:26:25.479
<v Speaker 1>able to survive. I can't remember what we were talking

1:26:25.479 --> 1:26:31.320
<v Speaker 1>about when this came up. Was it the condor condor

1:26:32.479 --> 1:26:35.559
<v Speaker 1>It's applicable to a ton of things. Passenger we definitely

1:26:35.600 --> 1:26:40.120
<v Speaker 1>talked about long ago by name with the passenger pigeon,

1:26:40.360 --> 1:26:43.639
<v Speaker 1>that maybe that species. If you don't have a billion,

1:26:43.680 --> 1:26:47.240
<v Speaker 1>you don't have any Like you can't maintain a population

1:26:47.280 --> 1:26:51.680
<v Speaker 1>of ten thousand passenger pigeons because passenger pigeons need to

1:26:51.760 --> 1:26:56.720
<v Speaker 1>have hordes of them in order for them to be

1:26:56.840 --> 1:27:01.200
<v Speaker 1>socially effective or to be reproductively effective. Final one is

1:27:01.240 --> 1:27:04.360
<v Speaker 1>this final thought for the day. A guy wrote in

1:27:04.400 --> 1:27:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, curious about is it worthwhile putting in

1:27:07.400 --> 1:27:12.599
<v Speaker 1>for the buffalo hunts in Montana, which are a mess,

1:27:12.920 --> 1:27:15.680
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's worth while. So there's a couple

1:27:15.680 --> 1:27:17.600
<v Speaker 1>of buffalo hunts you're looking. There's a gardener hunt in

1:27:17.600 --> 1:27:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the West, Elstone hunt. It comes up every year where

1:27:20.240 --> 1:27:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you have uh buffalo or bison are summering in Yellowstone

1:27:27.960 --> 1:27:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and the winter, late winter, as the snow accumulates, they

1:27:31.240 --> 1:27:34.920
<v Speaker 1>need to migrate out. And when they migrate out, they

1:27:34.960 --> 1:27:38.479
<v Speaker 1>crossed the park boundaries and entered private land in national

1:27:38.520 --> 1:27:43.519
<v Speaker 1>forest land. And there's a debate. There's this this argument

1:27:43.520 --> 1:27:46.200
<v Speaker 1>that's a perennial argument that goes on around this where

1:27:46.960 --> 1:27:53.000
<v Speaker 1>legally the animals aren't regarded as wildlife in Montana. Um

1:27:53.160 --> 1:27:55.840
<v Speaker 1>they regarded once they go from being their wildlife in

1:27:55.880 --> 1:27:58.479
<v Speaker 1>the park, even though their native fauna that have been

1:27:58.760 --> 1:28:02.120
<v Speaker 1>present on the ground always it's like a native land mammal,

1:28:02.280 --> 1:28:05.000
<v Speaker 1>native game animal, I would like to say, um. But

1:28:05.000 --> 1:28:07.559
<v Speaker 1>when they leave the park, they lose their status is

1:28:07.600 --> 1:28:11.479
<v Speaker 1>wildlife and they fall under right right now, to varying

1:28:11.479 --> 1:28:14.080
<v Speaker 1>degrees that they fall under the jurisdiction of the Department

1:28:14.080 --> 1:28:17.799
<v Speaker 1>of Livestock. They fall under the jurisdiction of the Department

1:28:17.800 --> 1:28:22.120
<v Speaker 1>of Livestock because they carry brucellosis, which is a livestock

1:28:22.200 --> 1:28:26.920
<v Speaker 1>disease that cattle passed to buffalo, and now buffalo carry brucellosis,

1:28:27.240 --> 1:28:30.280
<v Speaker 1>and they don't want the buffalo passing the brucellosis back

1:28:30.320 --> 1:28:34.080
<v Speaker 1>to cattle. And so a state, you know, they enjoy

1:28:34.200 --> 1:28:37.719
<v Speaker 1>brucellosis free status, and if the disease were to cross

1:28:37.800 --> 1:28:40.719
<v Speaker 1>the species barrier back in the other direction once again,

1:28:41.320 --> 1:28:44.360
<v Speaker 1>you'd have brucellosis in Montana livestock and you have to

1:28:44.400 --> 1:28:47.519
<v Speaker 1>start doing all this testing and quarantining and it's very expensive.

1:28:47.560 --> 1:28:50.599
<v Speaker 1>So they don't want brucellosis getting back in livestock. Forget

1:28:50.640 --> 1:28:53.000
<v Speaker 1>about all that for a second. Um. One of the

1:28:53.040 --> 1:28:55.000
<v Speaker 1>things that they do, one of the things that the

1:28:55.040 --> 1:28:57.040
<v Speaker 1>state has been experimenting with and trying to do for

1:28:57.080 --> 1:28:59.840
<v Speaker 1>a long time, is treating him like lives, treating him

1:28:59.880 --> 1:29:03.080
<v Speaker 1>like wildlife. So they migrate out of the park, they

1:29:03.080 --> 1:29:06.920
<v Speaker 1>cross in the national forest land. Here you have a

1:29:07.000 --> 1:29:11.680
<v Speaker 1>resource that has value to people as food. It's a renewable,

1:29:11.840 --> 1:29:17.040
<v Speaker 1>sustainable resource. And so the state will issue through a

1:29:17.040 --> 1:29:22.559
<v Speaker 1>lottery permit, draw some limited number of hunting permits. And

1:29:23.640 --> 1:29:29.519
<v Speaker 1>it's uh controversial. Can be a controversial hunt. There can

1:29:29.560 --> 1:29:33.080
<v Speaker 1>be situations where there's not a lot of privacy while

1:29:33.120 --> 1:29:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you're hunting. There can be a fair bit of hand

1:29:35.240 --> 1:29:37.719
<v Speaker 1>holding going on and like letting you know when they've

1:29:37.800 --> 1:29:42.599
<v Speaker 1>left and where they are. It's not perfect, but I

1:29:42.640 --> 1:29:46.960
<v Speaker 1>think people should participate in it and and engage in

1:29:47.000 --> 1:29:48.439
<v Speaker 1>it and get the most out of that that they can,

1:29:48.479 --> 1:29:52.240
<v Speaker 1>including a whole shipload of great buffalo meat, for the

1:29:52.280 --> 1:29:54.799
<v Speaker 1>reason that it is a step in the right direction.

1:29:55.280 --> 1:29:58.000
<v Speaker 1>And by that I mean it's a step in the

1:29:58.040 --> 1:30:07.639
<v Speaker 1>direction of managing this herd as native wildlife that can

1:30:07.680 --> 1:30:13.479
<v Speaker 1>support some amount of consumptive use. You have people that

1:30:13.640 --> 1:30:18.240
<v Speaker 1>want the meat, the population can support limited harvest. It

1:30:18.320 --> 1:30:21.280
<v Speaker 1>might not be perfect, but hunters should get in there

1:30:21.800 --> 1:30:24.479
<v Speaker 1>and be engaging in it and putting in their two

1:30:24.479 --> 1:30:28.080
<v Speaker 1>cents and doing the hunt and helping hunt, letting hunt

1:30:28.120 --> 1:30:30.320
<v Speaker 1>managers know, like what they liked about it, how it

1:30:30.320 --> 1:30:32.599
<v Speaker 1>could be different in the future, and not just turning

1:30:32.600 --> 1:30:34.200
<v Speaker 1>your back on it. Because this is a step in

1:30:34.240 --> 1:30:36.759
<v Speaker 1>the right direction. It's good that they're conducting these hunts.

1:30:37.640 --> 1:30:40.120
<v Speaker 1>He wants to know if I would suggest three eight

1:30:40.240 --> 1:30:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the huntee, you know, look into it. I put in

1:30:46.120 --> 1:30:49.160
<v Speaker 1>form I put an inform and I've been down there

1:30:49.200 --> 1:30:53.599
<v Speaker 1>observing the hunt before. It's something that we just need.

1:30:53.640 --> 1:30:55.679
<v Speaker 1>I think it's nothing we need to be doing. There's

1:30:55.680 --> 1:30:59.200
<v Speaker 1>no negative to it at all. And the more we

1:30:59.240 --> 1:31:06.479
<v Speaker 1>can do to encourage states to recognize and manage these

1:31:06.520 --> 1:31:10.120
<v Speaker 1>animals as as a big game species, the better. So

1:31:10.240 --> 1:31:11.840
<v Speaker 1>take one for the team and go down there and

1:31:12.600 --> 1:31:14.320
<v Speaker 1>do the hunt. What's the worst it comes out of it?

1:31:14.360 --> 1:31:17.400
<v Speaker 1>You walk home with three hundred pounds, four hundred pounds

1:31:17.439 --> 1:31:20.720
<v Speaker 1>of bones meat, and if you draw the tag, you

1:31:20.800 --> 1:31:24.280
<v Speaker 1>can give it up, Like if you all of a

1:31:24.280 --> 1:31:27.040
<v Speaker 1>sudden you're like, boy, I mean over my head, you

1:31:27.080 --> 1:31:28.760
<v Speaker 1>can give it up. But yeah, th where you're happening

1:31:28.760 --> 1:31:30.439
<v Speaker 1>the ring. But the hunts occur at a time of

1:31:30.479 --> 1:31:32.000
<v Speaker 1>year when no one's hunting anyway, so you be able

1:31:32.000 --> 1:31:34.679
<v Speaker 1>to round up all your bodies, like, dude, we're gonna

1:31:34.680 --> 1:31:36.400
<v Speaker 1>go out. We're gonna you know, it's kind of it's

1:31:36.439 --> 1:31:39.479
<v Speaker 1>a hunt, it's a management thing. Um, we're gonna get

1:31:39.479 --> 1:31:41.240
<v Speaker 1>the most out and we're all gonna walk home. We're

1:31:41.240 --> 1:31:45.200
<v Speaker 1>all gonna walk with a hundred pounds of boneless heck. Yeah,

1:31:45.360 --> 1:31:50.559
<v Speaker 1>So Larry, get down there, bro, Thanks for joining US,
