Can you 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.280 tell everybody about your road kill moose story? Sure? Can? Steve? 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:44.440 Go ahead? I was on my way home hard day 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.879 of work. Yeah, it was late, actually it was that 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.199 after six beautiful day though. I remember because I was 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.160 in my shorts and a short sleeved shirt and at 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.960 that time of the night it was still nice and warm. 0:00:57.960 --> 0:00:59.680 I was actually on my way to meet my neighbor 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:06.119 because is the post production team needed a piece of metal, um, 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.360 sheet metal or something of the like to put underneath 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:11.240 some food that they were going to be shooting, and 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.959 they wanted a different background. And as you know, my neighbor, Okay, 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.399 you gotta plug his business right anyone living in there. 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.679 Barton of Southwest Montana, Barton Fabrication, You need any sort 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.640 of welding, cool metal work type done. Steve had a 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.440 what's that thing called it's a long list. He made 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:35.199 my three sixteen inch thick garden boxes on a welded 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.440 steel plate, which your coolest ship. Yeah, they looked nice. 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:43.760 He made. He he does like fancy houses, I should 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.000 point out, but I have him do like low grade stuff. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.480 So he did that. He we. I had a stainless 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.720 steel trompo, which is like when you're in Mexico and 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.000 I got the the big thing of pork that spins 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.640 on a spindle and you order a taco and a 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.160 shave off to take like a machette and shave off 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.240 hunks of meat onto a street taco. I think more 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.080 people would uh understand it though, if you just said, 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.600 like a hero, like if you had a Greek place 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:09.840 and you look in the back and there's that big 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:11.840 hunk of meat, because that's where you like to go 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:16.160 for vacation. I don't. I've never been. I'd love to 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.000 check out Greece, though, but I'm just saying that most 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.640 people would. That's that's what you think of when you 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.520 think of a big hun good spinning meat. Yeah, well no, 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.760 sure if you do. Growing up in Missoula, Montana, there 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:35.840 were three euro places like yeah really yeah, a cropolis Greek, 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.120 and they all had a trumpo. Then it called a trumpo. 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:43.480 They probably call some Greek thing. Yeah, yep, correct. How 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.160 would you say it if you're goofing on like a 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:49.280 trompolo trumpo trumpolo, and if you put a Greek spin 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:57.680 on it, trumpoppopoca. So he yeah, mine was hand crack. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.799 You had to hand turn. Ronnie Bain made it. We 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.280 used it once at my wedding, but it was hand turned, 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:08.480 and so he retro fitted it for a He retro 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.919 fitted it for a Rotistrie motor, did a beautiful job 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:17.760 of it. Then he made me twelve des and I 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.920 haven't do a lot of stuff's way beneath him. He 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:24.919 made me twelve snare supports, So weldon galvanized wire on 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.120 the rebar so that you pound the rebarn to the 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.080 ground in position the wire right where he wanted to 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:35.480 hang beaver snares whatever you're snaring um. And and now 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.080 he's doing something doesn't require welding where because he's got 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:42.320 a hoist. He's helping me mount uh Honda jet onto 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:47.320 my hog island shallow water skiff nice. And meanwhile he 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.720 does all kinds of fancy house stuff spartan fabrication. He is. 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:52.760 We can go on and on about this guy. I 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.120 mean he I'm so lucky to have him as a neighbor. 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.400 He is the world's best neighbor. I mean he just 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.480 he's a fire chief. He's a higher achieved so he's 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.000 like home half the time. And when he's at home, 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.600 it's like any problem you could think of at your house. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.120 You're like, hey, Travis, uh my chains got one of these? 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.680 Come on down, you know, just bring the truck over, 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.600 We'll put on the lift. We'll just take those wheels 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.640 right off. Right now. That's not true though, because he 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:22.640 failed us on a thirty six inch chainsall bar. Yeah, 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:27.080 you're offered up a cross cut saw. Ye if you 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:32.239 can't help you out. He has a good sense of humor. Um. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.800 But yeah, in my house for our remodel, I mean 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:41.440 there's a ton of Travis bartin work handrails. Um. What 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.040 do you call the pieces? The ballusters? You know that 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.799 all that is Travis is there's some I beams in there, 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:52.760 some shelving. My whole kitchen table countertop is made out 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.480 of steel. And I can't tell a good world. But 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.160 anybody that's ever come over that must have some sort 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.760 of background in welding. They look at that table and 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.840 they go, whoever did this knows their ship. That's funny 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.240 because Doug Dering took a look at my garden boxes 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.159 and the first thing he said is he made a 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.440 joke about the worlds, meaning like he made like a 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:17.240 reverse joke, commented on the shitty welds meaning holy sh it, 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.120 kind of like a dirt like a dirt joke. Yeah, 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.320 like he basically he was saying, like, what a phenomenal weld, 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.919 but instead of saying that, he acted like he was. 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.320 He was like, it must have been this guy's first day. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.839 you know I'm doing a horrible job. Yeah, yeah, we 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.160 get it though. So I was on my way to 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:43.360 Travis's house and um, right when I pulled off the pavement, 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.520 I forgot we're talking about yeah, talking about my road 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:52.679 kill moose, um travishes. They're waiting for me on the dirt, 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:57.200 which I thought was odd and specifically waiting for you. Yeah, 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.560 because he I was going to his house to meet him, 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.159 so he knew I was on the way, and uh, 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.919 he walks up to my truck and he just says, uh, 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.320 you want to moose. Kind of caught me off guard, 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.560 and but I quickly put two and two together, and 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.760 like you, I could I look down the road maybe 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.080 a hundred yards and I could see a blue four 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.280 pickup trucks sitting down there and pick up was it 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:26.400 as as a raptor rafter? Yeah? And um, what's the 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.680 reputation that? Like when you see someone driving a raft? 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.800 What do you do you have like a thing like oh, 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.200 he like I think they have a bigger gas budget 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:38.159 than I do, just generally, probably bigger budget because I 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:42.520 don't think that's a cheap truck. No, but I'm not 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.560 because I was about a regular old F one fifty 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.960 a year ago. Yeah. Man, you should have gone raptor 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:52.760 because yeah, because it goes faster. Yeah. I like go 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.960 nice and slow. Yeah me too. I have no use 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:59.080 for a raptor. They both probably go equally as fast. 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.760 One just excel at rates. I like to accelerate slowly, 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.200 kind of more angry looking, more aggressive looking. Yeah, well 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.760 I am angry. Something that's prime for like big sticker 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:12.640 on the back window. Our buddy JA runs one. He 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.920 likes that truck. Yeah, loves it. Go on, big big truck. Yeah, 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:18.520 One of the first things he said is, I was 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.920 contemplating going to look at this moose. He's not much 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.080 damage on the raptor. I'm thinking, well, you know, that's 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.720 probably good. Good for your Yeah, good for the mouse. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.600 Probably not much damage on the moose either. He said 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.880 it was a calf um that had been hit, so 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.040 we went to check it out. And Uh. I had 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.280 one other experience, which I've told you before about with 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.760 picking up road kill. Buddy of mine, Jimmy and Colorado 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.360 once had gotten one from a herd that had been 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.360 demolished by I think actually a bunch of honeywagon trucks. 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:50.960 And he pulled up and they actually had a four 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:56.160 trucks carrying honey or carrying porter potties. Uh, just disposal trucks, 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.720 you know, I ain't. The company in Veil was called 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:05.200 racking Um. Anyways, a bunch had been knocked off the 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.120 interstate and they actually had like a bucket truck or something. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:14.600 There's loading elk into people's trucks and um Jimmy Miller, Yeah, 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:21.680 Jimmy Miller, who once found a buck tangled up. I 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.800 think you only unbail, hey, like a guy might unbail 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.000 hay and throws all the corriage into a pile. Wasn't 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.240 that what happened? Yeah, that's right. And found a buck 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.160 all tangled up in the corridage, you know, and went 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:34.480 down here and caught it free. And then the buck 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.760 trying to kick his head once he got it freed up, 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:46.320 you know, fell right into his plan. So there are Um. Well, 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.440 but back to Miller's story real quick. When we went 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.200 I went to his house to help him peel that 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.679 thing out, and it was just when we peeled out, 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.960 it was purple from knows the tail peeling it out 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:04.360 being a yeah, and uh so we turned as much 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.120 as of it as we could into dog food. And 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.000 I don't think any of it was fit for human consumption. 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.720 And so I was a little little leary, you know, 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.959 going into it. But I looked at this calf moose. Um, 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.240 it's unfortunately I much I had the moose running around. 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.120 We've been watching it, you know, since it was born. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.040 You know, the thing was probably only six to eight weeks. 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.000 I didn't catch that either. You were familiar with this 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:31.400 particular girl, Yeah, we had seen it maybe two days earlier. 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.360 Oh really, I didn't know she had to she had twins. 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.360 This is part remember the story I told about how 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.960 I saw the cow elk come and cut that one 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.480 calf out from underneath the cow moose with the two 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.880 remembered it. Really, I'm sitting there watching a cow moose 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.840 one night with her two babies. They come up the 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.199 dirt road and they kind of get off on the 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.559 edge and they're feeding along and out like my periphery, 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.360 I see something running and down the hill comes the 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:00.400 cow elk, and it's getting dusky. She comes down, goes 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.199 right up to him and then just stands there and 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:06.080 kind of an aggressive pose, and uh, I didn't know 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.240 what to make of it, you know, and the cow 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.960 moose just sort of pined her ears back, but like 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.640 became subordinate, definitely didn't stand up to this cow elk. 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.320 And the cow elk sort of starts chasing him a 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.400 little bit. It's like half play but half aggressive, and 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:24.480 she sort of starts cutting between the two uh calves, 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.440 and again these guys are like they looked like they 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.240 took their first steps a week ago, you know, and uh, 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.960 it's getting darker. But eventually the cow moose runs up 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.960 the hill with one of the calves and the cow 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:42.800 elk stayed with one of the calf. Moose pedophile kidnapping. 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.040 It was like that. Yeah, it was like it was 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.560 like in humans, you know, thought You're like, oh, she 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:54.840 must have lost her her cow elk or her cow 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.400 her elk calf, and now she's trying to pick up 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.560 another one from this moose. You know who knows. But 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.840 it was very odd, very odd animal behavior. Then Anthony, 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.320 better introduce yourself real quick, because, uh, you don't join 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:11.480 us all the time. I'm Anthony Locata. I'm editor in 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.880 chief here at meat Eater. There you go, olcome. Thanks, Yeah, 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:20.480 nice to have you first Meteator podcast. Yeah, yeah, I've been, 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.840 uh but you sat with us the other day. Ye 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.600 sat the other day, And I've been on a honey 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.200 collect a couple of times. But I've been working remotely 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.160 for the first couple of months here in the job. 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.839 But finally I'm here in Bozeman, so you'll be able 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:42.280 to editorialize. Yes in chief, you've been oh um, so yeah, 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.600 it's some history with uh, with this calf. So there 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:49.439 we are for ye and uh, it looks like the 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.440 calf has like a blow to the head and then 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.280 one of its back legs is you know, broken flopping 0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:01.160 like below the knee and otherwise doesn't look messed up 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.440 at all. There's not a lot of blood on the road. 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.680 Chaffs is like, literally, well, now, why did he not 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.600 want it? He's not a big hunter, not a big 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:14.760 wild game guy. Um. His daughter had actually witnessed it happened. 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.240 It was kind of traumatic for her. She's I don't know, 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.480 not quite high school age. Um. So I was like, well, 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.200 do you want some to meat? He's like, well, yeah, 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.600 I just but just don't tell my daughter where it 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.480 came from, you know. Um. So I'm gonna get him 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.440 some meat. But yeah, that's just not his style, you know, 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.440 not his style um eating stuff he found dead on 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.719 the side the road. Yeah, but I don't. I just 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.280 don't think they eat a lot of while a game 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:46.440 in that house. He's too busy welding fires. Um. So yeah, 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.520 I checked it out and uh sort of uh talks 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.560 to Chavis about what it would take to get it. 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:54.880 I kind of knew the steps, and I said, well, 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:56.839 let me just call highway patrol. I think that's who 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.920 I called. And the Chavis kind of guy again to sort, 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.800 you know, build his character out a little bit. I'm like, yeah, 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:08.599 I'll call high Control and he just rattles off the number. Um. 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.280 So I call him and the guy says, yeah, man, 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.200 really easy. Just go onto the fish and Wildlife website 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.400 and there's an application, fill it out and make sure 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.280 it's filled out and submitted within like twenty four hours. 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:23.280 Have at it, um and so we uh, I try 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.000 to put it into the truck as it was, it 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.600 was too heavy for us to just two men get 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.320 into the back of the truck. So I gutted it 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.400 right there on the median. I'm sorry the shoulder. You 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.200 got a good point. It seems only a few months old. Yeah, 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:42.439 maybe not even two months old. Huh yeah, the sweetest, 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:48.080 that's an insane amount of growth. Oh, it is too amazing, amazing. Yeah. 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:49.920 I think about what that cow must have to do 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.800 to produce those calories, to have two of them, you know, 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.960 putting on that kind of weight. Yeah. And I mean, 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.920 you're the my mental picture of your neighbor as he 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:07.640 not a small dude either, nice tough guy. Beat his ass. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.600 What amazing amount of growth. So I got it right there, 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.000 slide the guts down off the office shoulders. Kind of 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.680 a steep embankment goes down into the ditch grassy area. 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.800 Kind of we slung her in there. When did the uh, 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.800 you know, like I said, the permit application there online 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.640 and I don't know, thirty minutes later they sent me 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.520 an email and said, here's your salvage permit. Oh so 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:34.640 no physical inspection, Nope, no, no. Um. There was actually 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:37.680 a I think she was a sheriff. Maybe that rolled 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:39.520 in while we were working on it. She might have 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.240 been there right at the end to kind of help 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:45.640 push a little bit to get the moose in there. 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.800 And she didn't have much to say about it. She 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:52.160 said that good for you. Correct now the the awful, 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:56.880 the guts um with that salvage the law. Yeah, I 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.800 was gonna, what are you asking about that? With the 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.800 alvage permit? Right, aren't you supposed to remove anything that 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.200 could attract other animals too? There's something to that. Oh, 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.920 that's the logic behind that. And you put that together. 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:14.560 They they don't want like the bears, they don't want 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:15.960 them to bear and then you got like this whole 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.960 vicious cycle. Yep. I was wondered. Word. I felt like 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.040 like they didn't want people to see a gup popper honest, 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.280 is just downloading salvage permits all year Long's I got 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:32.120 bear moves on spot my truck Scott like two or 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.680 fifty miles on it, so you know with another ding. 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.760 But you broke the law by leaving the gut pile there. Yeah, yeah, 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.000 as I call it in the morning, and they said, yeah, 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.600 next time, you know, take the guts too, and um, 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.840 don't leave me on the side of the road. Otherwise 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.600 you're all sat man. So yeah, we let it. We 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.600 butchered it up that night quartered in got Luckily a 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.440 neighbor of mine had an empty fridge that was turned 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.960 on sitting in his Uh, it wasn't completely empty. He 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.840 has beer. Say you might have an energy efficiency chat 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.800 with that fella. Yeah, he's got some beer in there 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.920 staying cold. But we moved some things around were easily 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:08.920 able to get the whole moose in there. Yeah, let's 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.080 sit for a week and then butchered it the next weekend. 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.960 And uh, I gave you a package of the ground. 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.520 Did you eat it yet? Somebody can't believe you just 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.720 sent me like a package. I mean, that's great, thank you, 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.600 but just the package of ground, huh. I want to 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.320 be fair. On the text message chain, you were like, no, 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:30.000 I'm not gonna come help, but I'll take the tender lines. Yeah, 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.840 and I uh, I will admit. Also, your honest called 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:35.800 me right away and he's like, hey, if you can, 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.280 you want to come up and help. Did you ask 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:42.280 for help? Yeah, just with the uh just cutting it up. 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:47.000 You specifically asked for help when I said no, no, no, no, no, 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.480 just coult yeah, and I felt like trying to cut 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.640 me out. Hey, fill the engineer, What do you think 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.480 about all this? I think it's I've never had moose you. 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.160 I think you were about to go into the taste 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.760 of of the ground right, yeah, just as NUIs in general. 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.880 The smell before we even butchered it. I gotta talk 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.639 about this because it was the like the sweetest, most 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:13.880 like grassy fresh cut hay, like to the point where 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.240 it's almost like so pungent that it might turn some 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.320 people off. But I think once you get through the pungentness, 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.720 you just realize it's just like this sweet grass smell. 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.080 And I don't know if it's from the eight the 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.879 extreme young age of the animal, or if it was 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:33.440 just his diet at that time. It was definitely hanging. Yeah. 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.680 But and and that meat definitely it's nowhere near as pungent, 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.679 but it definitely carries that palette with it. You know 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:42.520 what you can tell me if you wanted to impress 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.000 the hell out of me, you tell me that you 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:49.639 drank the curdled mother's milk from its stomach. Yeah. Sorry, 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:58.960 I'm not gonna impress lose again. Um. Yeah, so I 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.760 got a I mean, I bet I didn't weigh it, 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:08.439 but I bet you we yielded um, well over a 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:12.000 hundred pounds. Are you serious? Yeah, more meat than you 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:13.840 would have gotten off a big meal in your buck. 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.439 Yeah it was you. No, it was definitely like a 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:23.480 small to medium cow elk. That's impressive. I think I 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.600 will take a little bit of that. Yeah, No, there's plenty. 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:28.480 I don't know why I only threw in the ground. 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:30.600 Maybe because that's always looking at when I was getting 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.760 your turkey and the ground was sitting right next to it. Yeah, 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.520 because I remember giving you some real nice uh hell 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:44.760 of it flas flames, choice cuts, choice cuts. I wasn't like, hey, 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:50.280 here's the guts off some salmon, Steve's choice cuts. Um good, 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:57.720 good on that quick nipple biting story. They flood in. 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:03.840 You wear this ant and they flood in. Guy guy 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:05.840 was sitting in the lake. I think it's a Massachusetts. 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.040 He wrote in we had talking about other people getting 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:12.960 their nipples bit by fish um, which started out, we're 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:16.480 talking about a woman tearing her nipple on. She wrote 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:18.440 in that she tore her nipple on a barbwar fence. 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:22.360 It was a mass and then all these nipple injuries 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.440 and she was in a hurry to go hunting, got 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:28.680 like some kind of she got out of some kind 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.159 of athletic event and was trying to get out in 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.560 the dove field hop the fence gas or nipple. She said. 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:39.160 Her ex husband called its scarface. She said, she's got 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:40.880 me like a fish if I gave her name, which 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:45.320 I never did, like her. Uh. And then more nipple 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.560 stories came in, but the most recent one is a 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.959 guy was he was sitting in the lake in Massachusetts 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:52.800 with his future with with who is now his wife, 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:54.639 and he said they were doing that thing where you 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:56.480 got your elbows kind of like up on a dock. 0:19:56.920 --> 0:19:59.520 You picture I'm saying, like hot tub style, Yeah, hot 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.600 tub style in a lake, elbows up on dock and 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:06.040 all a sudden now looks now as nipples bleeding all over. 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:08.119 What's funny is he do must not know a hell 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.440 of a lot about fish, because he said he thinks 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:12.840 it could have been bluegills because he had seen Here's 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:14.960 the story gets weird, but I believe every bit of it. 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:21.000 He had seen some guys spitting dip spitting tobacco juice 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.719 into the water on the same dock, and bluegills are 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:29.440 eating it. So he figures, you know what, this sound 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:31.240 looks like a good place for me, my gal to 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:36.680 go soak a minute. But know that it happened before. Yeah, 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:39.000 I understand he's aware that there's so he's I feel 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.359 like a bluegill. But a blue guild does not draw blood. 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.840 A blue guild does not bite your nipple and draw blood. 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.600 So there's got to be a kind of a b 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:51.400 test go It's like, well, we are blue gill more 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.200 aggressive with a healthy dose and nicotine. Oh that's a 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.720 good point. Maybe they get so jacked up. I'm but 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.520 I think that that, yeah, there's blue was around. I 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.360 think there's a north around Northern Pike, and I think 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.919 the Northern Pike gashed his nipple. But the takeaway is 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.440 he suggested that you'd make a fish and luard to 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:15.400 look like a nipple and smelled like chew nipples look 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:17.399 like bait. They just do. Yeah, they do have a 0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:19.880 bait like appearance. Man. I had to cist cut out 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:23.800 of my head, a sebaceous sits or whatever you call it, 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:25.680 like it was like on top. It was on top 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.639 of my like you don't want to sist in your skull, 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.040 between the skin and the skull, like a not scary one. 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:33.520 They cut it out and I had some little hairs 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:35.480 growing out of it still, and I kept it. I 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:36.880 asked me if I could have it, and I kept 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:39.359 it in this jar alcohol. It's about the size of 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:40.920 the end of your pinky. And I'd get to drinking 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.159 and get that thing out and tell people how I 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.680 was gonna catch a perch off that thing, and it 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:50.480 kind of overtime dissolved. That's too bad, and I never 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:53.320 got to never got to fulfill my my was back, 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:54.679 and I used to like to drink a lot more 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:56.200 than I do now. I still like to have a 0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:57.840 little drinking on him, but it never goes so far 0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:02.440 that I get out my cist and started, I don't 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:05.720 get off with sist anymore ts and rolled it in 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:10.320 some glitter A truth ain't no youth, So does that 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:15.000 guy rode in? Um oh, and Anthony talked about the 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:18.720 thing that you were going to talk about real quick. Bigfoot. Yeah, yeah, 0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.800 one of my favorite subjects. Right. Uh So we have 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:26.560 this great report from the proceedings of the Royal Society, 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:31.160 some organization and uh great Britain, and their mission here 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:35.280 was to take all these samples of hair that have 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.440 been collected over the years that for one reason or 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:42.680 another I have been identified as possible bigfoot here, bigfoot 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.000 sasquatch yettie, you know, depending because they're all over the world. 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:48.960 So setting it up here that I think this is 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.560 really important. What I found was a very interesting point. 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.120
