53
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,800

54
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 4: you had to learn to cook barbecue to compete in

55
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,120

Speaker 2: These other folks.

57
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: So I got into cooking barbecue, and then I just

58
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: kind of that was a long time. You know, newsletters

59
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,720

61
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,760

66
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 4: because when I'm not barbecue and I'm hunting fishing, So

Speaker 1: That's it, you know.

98
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 6: Right off the bat. I had to help some fourteen

99
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 6: year old kid that had never handled a squirrel in

100
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 6: his entire life, Caden Blake, to skin a squirrel. I

101
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 6: went over there and showed him. I says, there's lots

102
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 6: of way to skin a squirrel, but there's only one

103
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 6: proper weight to skin a squirrel. Took me a long

104
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 6: time in my career to figure that out, but I

105
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 6: showed him how to do that. It says, I'm going

106
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 6: to do the one for you, and then you're going

107
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 6: to do the next one. And he did it exactly

108
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 6: like I told you.

109
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: The tail method is that work given on a squirrel

110
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: that's been frozen.

111
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 6: It did today. I don't know where those come from. Today,

112
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 6: they were tops of trees. About Thursday, I would say

113
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 6: they were frozen twenty two heads.

114
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,839

00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,680

Speaker 1: how many people were here?

122
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,680

123
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,279

Speaker 1: the first time that we've had a bona fide squirrel

146
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,240

149
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,720

Speaker 6: old bird dog people would call it a dropper they got.

157
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 6: They get no credit for anything because people don't want

161
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: So is she a bird dog or a scrowl dog?

162
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 6: She's both. You know, our old timmy dogs did everything

163
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 6: mm hmmm, from keeping us warm to hunting critters to

164
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,640

00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 6: Steve was at the NRA convention in Saint Louis, Missouri.

187
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 6: I come up to him. He just had like five

188
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 6: or six episodes or three or four were out, and

189
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 6: he was hunting antelope and bear and this and that.

190
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 6: I says, Steve, you need to do a small game,

191
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 6: a squirrel, rabbit or something, because kids can go out

192
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 6: their back door or down the you know, somebody's farm

193
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 6: or public land or wherever, and they can hunt small game.

194
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 6: And we become friends over that. And Steve told me

195
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 6: this year we were ride around the pickup truck in

196
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 6: between our hunting. He says. You know why I liked

197
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 6: you when we first met. I says, because I knew

198
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 6: about squirrels. He says, no, he says, because you told

199
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 6: me you were thinking that this fall was going to

200
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 6: be a really really good squirrel year, because we had

201
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 6: a good mask crop. He said, you were able in

202
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 6: your mind to predict what kind of hunting season where

203
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 6: we were going to have. And you know, I'd hunted

204
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 6: squirrels since I was probably seven eight years old, and

205
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 6: just you know, it used to be I mean that

206
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 6: was my life, his hunting squirrels. But you know, having

207
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 6: fun now is my life.

208
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 5: How many how many squirrels did you bring today?

209
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: Uh?

210
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 6: None?

211
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 5: Oh?

212
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 6: I'm here with chef Jeff out of Illinois. He's a

213
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 6: young dude that stalked me on Instagram. I took him

214
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 6: hunting one time. He comes to the top of the line.

215
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, we just linked that out. My mom's going

216
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 6: to get mad at me and clean my glasses now.

217
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 6: But he went hunting with me, and he would listen

218
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 6: to me, and we become instant friends, like three years ago.

219
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 6: So he asked me, said, hey, I got invited to

220
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 6: the Squirrel Championship cook Off. Do you want to go?

221
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 6: I says yeah. So I've already put in Monday through

222
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 6: Thursday forty six hours working up down Tornado Alley, putting

223
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 6: in a high mask, lighting one hundred and twenty foot

224
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 6: poles with a sketchy contractor. But you know, I like

225
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 6: to work. I work to a die and hunt and

226
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 6: meet people that like dogs and being outside cooking good food.

227
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: And you know what was the description, got to beat

228
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: a dead squirrel hunting horse. But tell us what Kevin's wearing.

229
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 7: Kevin is wearing I would say circa nineteen seventy one

230
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 7: Gi Joe style coveralls. I had a Gi Joe that

231
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 7: had a set of coverrolls just like that inside that

232
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 7: and it's his T shirt. He's got a blaze orange

233
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 7: camo with what.

234
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: That Okay, it's a blaze orange camel.

235
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 5: He's wearing a Browning high power on a cross.

236
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 6: Drove that nine milimeter, Yes, flipping shot.

237
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: You're also probably the first known bear grease render. This

238
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: is kind of a shame that was armed.

239
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: Well that you know about right exactly.

240
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 7: Continuing on, he's got a nice military style watch with

241
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 7: a compass and complimenting and rounding out this ensemble would

242
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 7: be his Fred Flintstone shoes. If he's wearing he is

243
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 7: barefooted as a goose, and I believe he could run

244
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 7: down the gravel road.

245
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: So so today Brent and Kyle and Malcolm were judges

246
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: the World Championship Squirrel Cookoff. Malcolm, what you can't? Can

247
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: you tell me who won.

248
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 4: I know, we don't know who one but me, and

249
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: I am going to tell you I was blown away

250
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 4: by the dishes that these squirrel chefs have turned in today.

251
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: I mean there were you know, you think a squirrel,

252
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 4: I think of squirreling dompla, just squirreling gravy or something

253
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 4: like that.

254
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 2: We saw all kinds.

255
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: Of just Kyle be thinking of some examples. What what

256
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: was what were.

257
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 4: Well, we had some squirrel and panadas, We had squirrel tamales.

258
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 4: We had you did have some like roasted quarters of

259
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 4: squirrel that were just fantastic, melting your mouth. Some of

260
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 4: them that did like a buffalo wings style. I saw

261
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 4: on their table. It was like a ramen. I mean,

262
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 4: I'm talking the squirrel bone broth, the whole nine yards whole.

263
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: Things we had.

264
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 4: We had some of these they're called what they call them,

265
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: it's like a little wrap. It's not a what was

266
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: that called the little basket, little poor purse, the beggar's purse.

267
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 5: The ooze and aws that come off of their judging tables.

268
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 5: When a particular dish and I'm trying to see what

269
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 5: the name of that team is, I can't find it

270
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 5: right now.

271
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: That was the hands down, Joe, the best thing I've had.

272
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 5: The scorecard in my pocket said, yes, I believe it. Okay,

273
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 5: So this team made Malcolm, you ate it. But they

274
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 5: made a uh was it a meat pie?

275
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: It was a squirrel mince meat pie.

276
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 5: Squirrel mince meat pie.

277
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 6: Hm.

278
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 4: They made uh vanilla bean honey, little glaze on it.

279
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: They did a Minnesota.

280
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: Got the biggest reaction of all of the clay.

281
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 5: Dude, this thing when it hit the table, you opened

282
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 5: up the box and you've seen the glorious dish that

283
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 5: would serve. But when all the judges are telling me

284
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 5: and I'm just like the referee, you got to buy

285
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 5: it into this and it was.

286
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: Man, it's pretty bold going for a squirrel mince meat pile.

287
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: And it doesn't necessarily sound like like if you're like squirrel,

288
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: Tomale squirrel and Panadas squirreled this squirrel mince meat pie.

289
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 5: It bold, fantastic. And the sauce that they had over

290
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 5: this quarter.

291
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: No, it was so they called it. I took a

292
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: picture of it. It was that good.

293
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 4: They called it a state u squirrel Loretta. Not to

294
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 4: be confused with the Steak Dan sauce. Because they made

295
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 4: it with bourbon whiskey, not kanyak. They said anybody, any

296
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 4: respective hillbilly would would drink, would not drink or cook

297
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 4: with koonyak.

298
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: They so did they do? They give you some like yeah, written.

299
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: Well you got this, you gotta you gotta plate.

300
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 7: It's covered, you know, a fold over to go plate

301
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 7: and had the number you know, the team that you

302
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 7: would score, not the name, just the number whatever it was.

303
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 7: So and you open it up and inside like in

304
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 7: the lid right here.

305
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: In one we got a little little car dish.

306
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: What everything was in there?

307
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: So fried squirrel al pasto or tacos with salcea verde sauce,

308
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: side dish, fried Mexican street corn with squirrel chariso.

309
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: Let me tell you, son, that was on the money.

310
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: That was good.

311
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: That's the one I took a little bit give.

312
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: That was money.

313
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 5: And the reason we had the teams put that little

314
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 5: index inside there was because we didn't know what this

315
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 5: stuff was. Like what Malcolm just read. We open up

00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 5: no way we've described lost that dish and it just like.

320
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 8: all kinds of stuff all over the world that you

321
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 8: would never expect a squirrel to be in.

322
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: What was your What was your favorite? You can tell

323

Speaker 3: I I like the tie the noodle soup.

326
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 8: It was a squirrel cow soy with a squirrel rangoon

327
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 8: and then they had the cream cheese and the rangoon

328
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 8: dipped in the sweet and sour sauce.

329
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 4: That's that might be the best bite I had because

330
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 4: someone passed me. They said, you gotta try this rangoon.

331
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 4: It would squirrel unreal. It was unreal.

332
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,600

00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I don't know why. I don't know why.

344
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it's the simple stuff. Man, this does he

345
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: kills it. I'm not a che I Cooke. Stuff folks

346
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: want to eat, he kills it.

347
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 5: But those all those dishes that you guys just read,

348
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 5: you know that started in year one, like our first

349
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 5: year of doing this. I thought it was going to

350
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 5: be dumplings, gravy, traditional.

351
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: Expecting today.

352
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 7: I was expecting today when you said that we're going

353
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 7: to get eighteen plates and the other table had seventeen,

354
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 7: I thought eighteen. Okay, that's going to be six place

355
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 7: of fried squirrel, six bowls of squirrel mulligan, and six places.

356
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: Spreads, Like this is just going to be like a Tuesday.

357
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 5: Was there anybody? Was there a dumpling?

358
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: In the closest we had was a ravioli.

359
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 6: Yeah.

360
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 7: I didn't eat none of it. It was, but I

361
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 7: mean not one of those traditional things that I would

362
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 7: thought about.

363
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: I didn't eat. I didn't see any.

364
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 5: And you know, Clay, tradition is real important to guys,

365
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 5: like all of us, like everybody in this room is

366
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 5: a traditionalist. We take a lot of pride in the

367
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 5: old ways and all of that. There is a one

368
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 5: hundred percent chance if someone turned in a solid squirrel

369
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 5: and dumplings that they could have killed it and won today.

370
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 8: You know, the pride squirrel that we had. You know,

371
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 8: in my mind, I'm like, I gotta give this one

372
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 8: just another bit of an edge, right because it is

373
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 8: more traditional.

374
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: Oh, that counted something for you. For me, that was

375
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: like that.

376
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: They're really honing in on the roots of squirrel eating, you.

377
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.

378
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's a unique deal because I think people,

379
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 5: you know, Clay Nucom's a flashy guy, got some flashy

380
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 5: mule all of this, and so I mean, he's just

381
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 5: a flashy guy. So these cooking teams think they got

382
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 5: to be really really flashy to win. Now, I'll go

383
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 5: ahead and tell you the dish that won was dang

384
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 5: sure flashy it was.

385
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: It was. It was good.

386
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 4: If that's the winner. If I had the winner, that

387
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 4: was amazing, Like, I would you pay for that dish?

388
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: Oh? I want the restaurant saw that on them menu?

389
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: I would pay good money.

390
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: Now would you say, like Chef Malcolm's of Pro are there? Well,

391
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: you weren't cooking today? How many pro like pro?

392
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 5: So we had probably three or four restaurant owners or

393
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 5: restaurant quality white tablecloth chefs out there, and yeah, and

394
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 5: so what they're competing against is what is it? The

395
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 5: backwoods guys? Right, they're competing against There's a couple of

396
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 5: old boys that run a croppy guide service up Nors.

397
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 5: You know, they come down to cook it. We had

398
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 5: croppy savice today, hmm.

399
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: With a squirrel or is that just I didn't have

400
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: that squirrel.

401
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 3: They had done, uh, tortilla chips made with squirrel broth,

402
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 3: squirrel bro broth, and then that was to be dipped

403
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: in the crappy slavice.

404
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: Wow.

405
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 1: Have you have you considered having more teams? Is it

406
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: possible or do you do? You feel like forties just

407
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: all you can handle.

408
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 5: If you would have asked me yesterday how many teams

409
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 5: we were going to have today, I had eleven teams

410
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 5: drop out over the last ten days and so I

411
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 5: had to scramble. And and the deal is he could

412
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 5: tell you this squirrel hunting unless you get out there

413
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 5: and do it, it ain't as easy as people think.

414
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: That's right.

415
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 5: I mean I squirrel hunted last week every day morning

416
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 5: and evening, sometimes during the day, and it just takes

417
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 5: the slightest wind we hunted with What if he.

418
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: Had said I hunted a night hunted squirrels.

419
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: Skylight, I wouldn't no doubt it any other man.

420
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 5: We didn't have a potent dog like that one laying

421
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 5: on the floor, but we had a good squirrel dog.

422
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 5: And those squirrel dogs are a huge advantage you squirrel

423
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 5: dog hunt.

424
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: I got flashy squirrel dog.

425
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 5: You do got flashy squirrel dogs. But I just want

426
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 5: people to know just because you see a squirrel in

427
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 5: it in your yard, that don't mean you're gonna get

428
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 5: a limited squirrel. Yeah, it's a tough, tough deal. So

429
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 5: you know I praised the teams earlier this morning at

430
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 5: the meeting. And this isn't something you could go to

431
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 5: the store and buy. You could be in a barbecue

432
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 5: competition and buy all the brisket you want to buy.

433
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 5: You could buy the wagou brisket and have an advantage here.

434
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 5: You want an advantage, you better shoot them, young Grace.

435
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 5: You know the wagoo of squirrel and so just an

436
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 5: amazing so.

437
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: So the original question was about the teams. Though she

438
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: had eleven teams drop out, so she had forty that

439
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: can only come eleven dry. Did we get forty teens?

440
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

441
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 5: So I scrambled hard. I scrambled hard, calling people. We

442
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 5: wound up with thirty five today, really, which you could

443
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 5: ask this panel of judges that is all they needed.

444
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I'll add something else to this. I did

445
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 7: not eat one thing that I wouldn't eat again.

446
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: It was good.

447
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 2: I'd agree with that. I didn't.

448
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 7: There wasn't anything in there that I took a bite of.

449
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 7: It was like, I'm not toting this, Kevin.

450
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: What did your team cook?

451
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 6: They cooked a bourbon sauce in country ham sauce, squirrel

452
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 6: with grints and cheese with onions on top, just a

453
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 6: simple I call it liquid corn bread ideal And it

454
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 6: was good. But I had, you know, the Kentuckians that

455
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 6: you talk about. I had what they had had. Numerous

456
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 6: people would bring me stuff up to eat.

457
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 5: O Is that a Kentucky team?

458
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 6: Of course, a kentuckis we were. We got blue grass

459
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 6: and bourbon and buckshot. But everything that people brought me,

460
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 6: I would tell, I'm here with chef Jeff from He's

461
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 6: got two restaurants in Chicago, and uh, he come, I'm

462
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 6: probably the only professional squirrel hunters got their own chef.

463
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 6: So I take him hunting and he cooks for me

464
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 6: and we have a good time. And uh, he has

465
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 6: to me to come down here with him. I said, yeah,

466
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 6: I'll come down, and but I mean impanadas, that mince meat,

467
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 6: uh squirrel. Uh everything was great, and I thought, us, man,

468
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 6: this is right here in.

469
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: The running, Kevin. I come to your house mid November.

470
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: We kill some squirrels. What are you cooking?

471
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 6: I'm cooking fried squirrel cadhead biscuits and gravy, fried potatoes

472
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 6: and onions.

473
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 5: I'm eating at you out.

474
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: Okay, tell me give walk me through how to how

475
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: you'd fry your squirrel at your house.

476
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 6: I gotta get one thing off my mind. I am

477
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 6: not g I Joe. I am John Wayne.

478
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 9: That's that's why I'm identifying ass.

479
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: How would you fry? How would you cook your squirrel?

480
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: Like?

481
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: Because it seems, you know, somebody just shoots the squirrel, cuts,

482
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, quarters up and fries it. They're probably gonna.

483
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 6: When I shoot a squirrel, I try to shoot it

484
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 6: or that I'm going to eat it now first that

485
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 6: I'm going to clean it and then I'm gonna cook

486
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 6: it and eat it. So I try to hit you

487
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 6: with a twenty two rifle. You can't always do that something,

488
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 6: you know, Sometimes you gotta shoot them shot gun. Sometimes

489
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 6: you got to body shoot them. You know. You try

490
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 6: to get those squirrels clean. You know, maybe not wret

491
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 6: the end, but as soon as you get home, get

492
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 6: them washed up, let them soak. I'm gonna cook it

493
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 6: in some lord, no shorten, no ordinate. And I just

494
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 6: like pork lard from the store, Yes, porkard, pork yard

495
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 6: from the store, low and slow. I might bake it

496
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 6: in the oven, make some kind of dish, you know,

497
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 6: from that barbecue squirrel or shirrel down parbol, parborrel or

498
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 6: pressure cook. Now, I think that cooks the flavor out

499
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 6: of that.

500
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: That's that's that's.

501
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

502
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 6: You gotta work at it. Steam steam, low and slow.

503
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 6: Get your squirrel, get it prep put it in your

504
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 6: in your cast iron. Skill it with some lard up

505
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 6: probably like halfway up on the squirrel. Turn it, turn

506
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 6: the heat up, get it, crisp on them on the

507
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 6: bottom with whatever your secret breading is. And I've got

508
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 6: a secret one, yes, secret by accident. Yes, the best

509
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 6: complimence ever got was I used to have when I worked.

510
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 6: I would get invited by contractors to go to like

511
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 6: golf games, like at the Legend golf course wherever that is,

512
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 6: and do stuff. I says, man, I don't do that.

513
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 6: You have a frog gigging tournament or something. I'll go

514
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 6: to that. But I only play golf every twenty seven years.

515
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 6: My next golf thing.

516
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 2: Nine.

517
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 6: But I'm looking for that for that one after twenty

518
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 6: twenty nine. It's what I'm looking forward to. So so

519
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 6: bring that flower, it up about halfway on the squirrel,

520
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 6: get it kind of crisp on the bottom, put your

521
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 6: lid on there, and then turn it down and just

522
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 6: let it simmer.

523
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: Oh, so flip it and then turn it down, turn it.

524
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 6: Down and just let it simmer. Just let it simmer

525
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 6: low and slow and steam it. And then after you

526
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 6: can take a fork.

527
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: And there's some nuance there. It's easy for me to go,

528
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: oh and then get home and burn it.

529
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 2: I don't know.

530
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 6: You got it it tough When you can take a

531
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 6: fork and slide it in that hind quarter and she

532
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 6: slides right in. When it's low and slow, it's gonna

533
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 6: get sloppy on your bready. So what you got to

534
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 6: do is hit it with some heat and turned it

535
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 6: back up and let it get crispy on the boy.

536
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: At the end. At the end, it's the guy's talking

537
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: about landing a super cub and then they they like

538
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: let it down. You feel like you're about to crash,

539
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: and then right for it. They hit the hit the tundra.

540
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: They they bounce it back up and landed just like

541
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: a pillow on a bed.

542
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 6: So hit it with some heat at the end, hit

543
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 6: it crispy on the bottom. It's all like gelatin on top.

544
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 6: Flip it over, ghit it crispy. Then take it off

545
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 6: and then you make the gravy.

546
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 2: You make it gravy out of that same lard or drippings.

547
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 6: It's turned into sirrels.

548
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was beautiful. That was like a

549
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: great artist recording. They'll be they'll be like Kevin Murphy

550
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,479
Speaker 1: did that recording of the Arkansas Game and Fish event

551
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: or Center in Springdale. Oh.

552
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 5: I think it goes down in the history of squirrel

553
00:27:59,480 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 5: right there.

554
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: That was a good description. So, okay, tell me about

555
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: your gravy.

556
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 6: Barefoot and beautiful, rightutiful. The gravy, like I said, you've

557
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 6: got your drippings in there with little pieces of.

558
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not drippings. It's a quarter inch.

559
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 6: To half inch larder, quarter inch three eight's not too much,

560
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 6: too much, too much. So then you look at it

561
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 6: and you know you can't make a big batch of

562
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 6: gravy at one time. You know, you couldn't make enough

563
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 6: to feed ten twelve people. You got to do like

564
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 6: small batches to make it turn out. So try to

565
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 6: have your milk the red top milk, not that sorry

566
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 6: blue top stuff or whatever.

567
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, sweet milk.

568
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's only kind of milk. Have it at room temperature.

569
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 6: Don't pull it out of the frigid air. That room temperature.

570
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: Mints some forethought.

571
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 5: The most important deal if you're a gravy maker is

572
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 5: what flour brand are you using.

573
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 6: I'm a godle man myself.

574
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 5: Oh you're not a Martha.

575
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 6: I could use, I could use whatever. It don't really matter.

576
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 5: You don't find a difference in gravy based off of

577
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 5: the flour. It's Martha White, ain't I like?

578
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 2: That's what I like?

579
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 4: That's what my mama always Bolt Strange.

580
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 6: Gold metal or Sunfloer comes right out of Hopkinsville, Kentucky.

581
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 9: So he goes, okay, So, so have your milk at

582
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 9: room temperature, you know, laid out and then just look

583
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 9: how much dripping you have in there, and you just.

584
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 6: Kind of judge it salt and pepper to whatever you think?

585
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: We hold on? What do you mean judge it? Tell

586
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: us what how you judge it?

587
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 2: Like?

588
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: So if you got if you got a quarter inch

589
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: of lard, how much milk you put in?

590
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 6: You know them dudes right next to us that that

591
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 6: from Kentucky they had the meat maps. They were talking

592
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 6: about all this measurement stuff. You know, I'm like a

593
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 6: handful a pinch twenty eight game shell. I don't I

594
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 6: don't you know, I don't have those. I just look

595
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 6: at it.

596
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 1: But I mean, would you how would you describe it?

597
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 6: I would say, if you had a twelve inch skillet

598
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 6: with a quarter inch of drippings in it, I would

599
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 6: use about a handful, maybe two handfuls of flyer, okay,

600
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 6: and a couple of pinches of salt, a couple of

601
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 6: pinches of pepper.

602
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: That's probably half a cup of so.

603
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 6: And then let that get brown.

604
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: Now wait a minute, wait a minute, let's go back.

605
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: We're talking about milk. Is you're putting your milk. You

606
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: gotta tell us the secret he ain't.

607
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 6: That you're jumping the ship. You're a horse, the mule

608
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 6: or whatever.

609
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: You jump in Okay, okay, so I'm with you.

610
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 6: So we've got the drippings in there, we add the flyer.

611
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: And which is very important, the sequence. Yes, you gotta flour.

612
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 5: You're basically making a root.

613
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 6: Exactly exactly salt pepper. It's best to try to get

614
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 6: it right in the beginning because when you add it

615
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 6: at the end, it's not the same. It's not You

616
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 6: can still do it overcoming, but it tastes better to

617
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 6: me if you got your sequence and your ingredients right

618
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 6: from the from the first. So you brown your gravy

619
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 6: and get it in there. And if you got some

620
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 6: dude that can pour milk on a steady basis, that's

621
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 6: the best thing to do. It's hard to stir and

622
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 6: pour milk at the same time because you got to

623
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 6: get with it, and you turn people. You turn the

624
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 6: heat up. You heard heat up cast iron skille it.

625
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 6: You turn it up on high, and then you start

626
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 6: easing that milk in there. It's slow room temperature, room temperature,

627
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 6: milk string stirring clockwise and the the hemisphere different counterclockwise.

628
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 5: Are you a for guy. Yes, that's all being done with. Yes,

629
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 5: that's how my daddy does it.

630
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, mash some lumps and then just like you know,

631
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 6: you got. If you've got a guy that knows how

632
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 6: to make gravy, he's better for if he's pouring the milk,

633
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 6: because you can't go too fast or too slow because

634
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 6: he gets it gets lumpy. And then once you get

635
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 6: lumpy gravy, it's hard to get it get it back.

636
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 6: You can save it if you know what you're doing,

637
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 6: but gravy is it.

638
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: You gotta work hard to get them back.

639
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 5: Yes, boy, I will tell you what. I've been listening

640
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 5: to this show since the inception or conception or whatever.

641
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 5: That description of making gravy was probably the most and

642
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 5: this is an amazing show filled with the detail and

643
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 5: historic just great inteil that gravy deal. Are you putting

644
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 5: them in the Hall of fame?

645
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 6: I'm not done, you know.

646
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

647
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 6: When I first started hunting stuff, I would figure out

648
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 6: things about squirrel hunting. I wouldn't tell you, sorry, I

649
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 6: wouldn't tell anything to anybody. And then I got to

650
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 6: see it as I got older, there was less and

651
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 6: less squirrel hunters. No kids, you didn't have to get

652
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 6: up early or two days before to go start squirrel season.

653
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 6: You could start on opening morning and get your spot.

654
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 6: And I got to think and says, man, I don't

655
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 6: want to take this stuff to the grave. I want

656
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 6: to tell people, give young people a head start on stuff.

657
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 6: And that's what I try to do, is, you know,

658
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 6: not take it to the grave, tell people how to

659
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 6: give them a head start on how to get things done.

660
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 6: But as you get that gravy, you got to think

661
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 6: in your mind, Okay, are you are we gonna serve

662
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 6: it right now or is it gonna be ten minutes

663
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 6: from now. So if you're gonna serve it right now,

664
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 6: you go ahead and make it to the thickness that

665
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 6: you like. I like mine thick that I can eat

666
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 6: with a fork. Some people like there's really thin. Steve's

667
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 6: like his thin. I don't know why. But thicker it

668
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 6: is better.

669
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was gonna say, yankee.

670
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 6: So but like I said, if you know it's gonna

671
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 6: be like ten or fifteen minutes, make it on the

672
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 6: thin side. And that way, as that gravy sets up

673
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 6: a cast starn skillet, it thickens up.

674
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: So so complished, brilliant, beautiful.

675
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 5: What you said, Kevin about you didn't want to take

676
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 5: it to the grave is one of the main reasons

677
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 5: why we do this squirrel cookoff. As you guys walked

678
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 5: around today and seen literally thousands of people, such a

679
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 5: small percentage of those people have ever shot a squirrel.

680
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 5: And the hope is is at some point we can

681
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 5: convert those folks, or at least, at a minimum, let

682
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 5: them appreciate us as hunters. You know, so many people

683
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 5: don't understand why we do what we do, that it's

684
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 5: a dying breed. Small game hunting is on such a

685
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 5: decline that there's a good chance it'll go away. And

686
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 5: so for us, all of you guys to be out

687
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 5: here today and to see us convert these people into believers,

688
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 5: it's a solid, solid squirrel believers.

689
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 2: Kids.

690
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 7: I don't know how many young uns I talked to

691
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 7: today that were here with their parents, families, whole families here,

692
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 7: mom and dad and four or five young and then

693
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 7: they were just eating it up. And I asked every

694
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 7: one of them that I talked to and I met

695
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 7: and took pictures with, and they're like, I asked him,

696
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 7: y'all eating they squirrel?

697
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 2: Not yet? Where do we get it?

698
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 7: They was coming here to eat it.

699
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: It was really good.

700
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 8: I'll say from my generation I'm twenty eight, most of

701
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 8: the people that I know that are my age have

702
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 8: never had squirrel. And so for them to see that

703
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 8: this is not just an event but event. With the

704
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 8: amount of people that ended up showing up and see like,

705
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 8: oh this is legit, Like you can actually have a

706
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 8: respectable competition around eating squirrel, I think goes a long

707
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 8: way because, like you said, thousands of people come through,

708
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 8: and how many thousands more will see that on social media?

709
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: Hear about it on here.

710
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 7: We got here last night. We got here yesterday afternoon

739
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: ever you ever cooked squirrel?

740
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 2: Yeah? We you know.

741
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 4: I got a little farm there in Mississippi where we

742
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 4: hunt on. I went on probably the best squirrelhod in

743
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 4: my life. Last year I got I heard you guys

744
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 4: talking about it here recently, but it was on one

745
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 4: of the Mississippi River clubs, and I didn't realize that

746
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 4: there was that many guys that hunted squirrels on those clubs.

747
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 2: There's a group of them. They come from over in Arkansas.

748
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 4: They hunt both sides of the rivers on these big

749
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 4: clubs and when they come, they come twenty deep, and

750
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 4: they bring their dogs and they they've got their dogs

751
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 4: trained to tree these squirrels, and no more than a

752
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 4: hundred yards off the trails because they're packing their side besides,

753
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 4: and I got invited to go with them, so I've

754
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 4: never seen this.

755
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 2: I brought my gun. I don't even think I got

756
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: my gun out.

757
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 4: Because it was It was a blast because they had

758
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 4: all the kids out there, and this was like a

759
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 4: family there was. There was I think three generations of

760
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 4: people hunting out there in this square and this big

761
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 4: packing squirrel. You know, drive that we kind of did,

762
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 4: and we rode around. We got out there daylight. You know,

763
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 4: you got to drive a long ways to get to

764
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 4: one of those clubs, cause they're out in the middle

765
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 4: of nowhere on another side of the levee. But it's

766
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 4: just a different country there. It's totally different than the

767
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 4: hills I'm used to where I'm at Mississippi. It's untouched land.

768
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 4: It's just big hunting clubs now or paper company owns,

769
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 4: at least to some of them. But it was amazing

770
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 4: and we killed the biggest black squirrels I've ever seen

771
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 4: a ton of black squirrels.

772
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: And it was a man, it was.

773
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 4: It was awesome, it really was because you got to

774
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 4: go and you got to see these big old timber

775
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 4: and the squirrels can are so fast from tree to tree.

776
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 2: And that stuff, and so you be gone. There was

777
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 2: there was two people doing both.

778
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 4: There were some some of the older men that wanted

779
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 4: to really, you know, take time meet squirrels. They were

780
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 4: shoot they were making good shots. And then because we

781
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 4: had some of those guys that would kind straggle behind

782
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 4: and let the kids and stuff get on them. And

783
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 4: when they start shooting at them, the kids all had

784
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 4: shotguns and you had to be quick to jump out

785
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 4: to beat them.

786
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 2: To the tree. Yeah, because the dogs there, they'll take

787
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 2: a dog.

788
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 4: One guy had a dog about this size and he

789
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 4: rode right on his leg and hung out his side

790
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: by side. He had a little mirror and he'd put

791
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 4: his feet on it. And if that dog caught win

792
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 4: of a squirrel, he was gone.

793
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 2: You could better believe there was one in that tree.

794
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 4: And you had to get out and shake the vines

795
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 4: and you're beating them with sticks, and there he goes,

796
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 4: and then it's kids.

797
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 2: And I said, I begged him. I said, y' I

798
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 2: gotta let me come back.

799
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 4: But it was such a it was like camaraderie hunting camp.

800
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: What you would expect that would be like.

801
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 4: And then you go half a day and everybody brings

802
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 4: out their grills and to get out the food, and

803
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 4: we cook them on the you know, just everybody kind

804
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 4: of corals up. You cook a big lunch and you

805
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 4: go squirrel hunt till dinner, and then you go back

806
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 4: and clean squirrels and cook squirrels and it's time to

807
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 4: go to bed and get up to it again to

808
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 4: the next camp. And that's all these guys do when

809
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 4: they're farmers. So when they get their crops in, they

810
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 4: go squirrel hunt. And they told me, those those squirrel

811
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 4: hunt from now till you know, to their wives, wake.

812
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 2: Will come back home. Just got and I said, that's

813
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 2: the life right there. Man, that's good.

814
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 1: Do you'll have a lot of black squirrels in Kentucky.

815
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 6: We have a few melanistic fox squirrels, really, but we

816
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 6: don't that I know of, having.

817
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: The black gray squirrels on the Mississippi River.

818
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: No, they're fire. I think they're fox square.

819
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: There's mollistic fox squirrels, okay, because like in the Ozarks

820
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: here to kill a black squirrel, I mean, if you

821
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: killed black squirrel somebody mounted. I mean, have you ever

822
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 1: seen a black squirrel up here?

823
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 2: No? Oh?

824
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 5: Really just on the levees that he's talking.

825
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I and I see pictures of guys in

826
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 1: different parts of the country acting like black squirrels are

827
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:45,479
Speaker 1: no big deal.

828
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 6: Michigan.

829
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: Steve Vanella when he came here to squirrel hunt with

830
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: me years ago, I told him we didn't have black squirrels.

831
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: And he gets off the airplane, drives through Bentonville and

832
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: swear to me that he saw a black squirrel on

833
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: someone's yard. So he shows up and he's like, you

834
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: got black squirrels, And I'm like, Steve Vanella, don't come

835
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: to the Ozarks and tell me about my squirrel. He

836
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: saw a black squirrel, and I told him, I was like,

837
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 1: no way.

838
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 6: But he may have seen a melanistic fox squirrel.

839
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: But what he may have seen, well, I've never even

840
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: seen one of those. They're they're just not coming up here.

841
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: But on the levee there everywhere. iDeer hunting down there

842
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago inside the levee of the Arkansas,

843
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: and uh, yeah they were. I saw multiple black squirrels anyway.

844
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, man, it's that cooking, cooking squirrels, rabbits, raccoon.

845
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 4: I mean, we grew up cooking stuff like that, and

846
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 4: I think it comes from just kids these days sit inside.

847
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 4: They don't go outside and hit the woods and stuff.

848
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 2: You know.

849
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 4: That's what I carried my daisy before my dad would

850
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 4: trust me with the twenty two. It was a BB gun,

851
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 4: and we wanted to stay outside, you know, we were

852
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 4: begging to buy more BB he says. We were wanting

853
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 4: to go try to shoot something. And so I think

854
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 4: I think that the younger generation's missing that. And that's

855
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 4: what's important about events like this. It's it's going to

856
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 4: rely on us to share that and to pass it

857
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 4: on and encourage people to get out and do this

858
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 4: kind of stuff and realize how much fun it is.

859
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 5: Let me tell you, let me tell you what I

860
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 5: noticed today. And I was busy running around, running around.

861
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 5: But this old guy that barely shows up on the

862
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 5: render anymore, Yeah, render boy is many full grown adults

863
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 5: think that he's a rock star. Them little kids love, yes,

864
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 5: they do. These little kids love this man. And uh

865
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 5: and they love you too, Clay. I mean it's you

866
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 5: guys have put such a new twist on what an

867
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 5: outdoorsman is. And I called Brent two weeks ago and

868
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 5: I said, man, I had a guy call me and

869
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 5: ask if his son who's like nine, could meet you.

870
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 5: That's a big deal. We idolize the wrong people in

871
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 5: this world. We have for a long time. Right, every

872
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 5: man sitting in this room is just a dude. We're

873
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 5: just normal people who tell our stories on podcasts or

874
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 5: whatever we do. To me, the impressive part is seeing

875
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 5: them idolize what I consider real men. And that's a

876
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 5: forgotten thing. And each and every one of us are

877
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,879
Speaker 5: doing our best at trying to change that. This man

878
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 5: sitting over here and the overalls, hey, he's the real deal.

879
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: He's the real deal.

880
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 5: How many people ask you how many pocketknives yet in

881
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 5: your pocket?

882
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: Just about all of them to borrow one.

883
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 2: Yep, they did. I'll let you hold it.

884
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 5: Absolutely amazing.

885
00:43:59,760 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: Man.

886
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 5: I was tearing up just now thinking about it. But

887
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 5: it's it's the real deal. I mean, this this group

888
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 5: right here, whether it's cooking, preaching about the outdoors, whatever,

889
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 5: it's hard for us to believe that we're making a difference,

890
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,720
Speaker 5: but we make a difference. And today it's kind of

891
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 5: the big the big bang of it. When we see

892
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 5: these people, all the kids coming the shooting competition across

893
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 5: the way here, they run out of targets and they

894
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 5: had over a thousand targets.

895
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: Really yeah, yeah competition.

896
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we had Gammo Daisy sponsor that deal.

897
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 5: I mean a thousand kids come over here and held

898
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 5: an air rifle. My neighbor kid lives down the way.

899
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 5: He's eleven. His parents won't let him shoot a BB

900
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 5: gun in my backyard, you know, which is weird, but

901
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 5: it's it's where we're at. And that's when Kevin talked

902
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 5: about holding on to it and teaching people. That's what

903
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 5: y'all do. I mean, you guys are the best.

904
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 6: You know. I had a family come by in the

905
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 6: song with the targets. I said, let me take a

906
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 6: picture of one of those squirrel targets that shot over

907
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 6: here at the daisy thing. And the dad he let

908
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 6: me see that. He says, it's pretty good target. I said, well,

909
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 6: you need to take some white out to this hole

910
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 6: up here. And then I looked at his daughter. I said, man,

911
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 6: she shot the best group. And I said, do you

912
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 6: y'all mind if I take a picture of all of

913
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 6: you guys with your target, hold it and I'll be

914
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 6: in the picture. And you know, I like that. You know,

915
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 6: the family, they all shot the pelt gun. The kids

916
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 6: outshot the adults and they were all happy there. And

917
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 6: there was one one of the family that didn't want

918
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 6: to shoot. And that's fine, because not everybody is meant

919
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 6: to be a hunter, right. You know. I've got a

920
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 6: little outdoors thing that me and my friends put together.

921
00:45:53,040 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 6: It's called Score Sportsman Conservationists, Outdoor Recreation in things, trying

922
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 6: to get everybody together that loves the outdoors. And there's

923
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 6: only a small percentage of us that are hunters and stuff.

924
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 6: And it's always been that way. That's way mankind is.

925
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 6: We just don't want that other percentage to be against us.

926
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 6: We want to respect what they believe in and then

927
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 6: what we believe in. And we're in together. We're human

928
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 6: beings and we're trying to make the world better. So

929
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 6: that's what I believe in.

930
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 2: I like, I'm on it.

931
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 6: We plant cypress trees. I'm going to do a squirrel

932
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 6: shoot next Saturday. Have some kids out from like six

933
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 6: years old to eighteen years old. They shoot twenty five

934
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 6: yards offhand. You know a lot of kids they don't.

935
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 6: They've got scope rifles. You know, they kill a turkey

936
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 6: or a deer now before they kill a squirrel or

937
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 6: a rabbit. That's hard for small game to compete with

938
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 6: with that. So you know, we've got to like get

939
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 6: them in here to shoot small game. And so man,

940
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 6: this is just as big as challenge. It's killing a deer,

941
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 6: a turkey, a duck, a goose, or whatever. But you know,

942
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 6: like you said earlier, just to go out and kill

943
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 6: a limited squirrels that it's not easy today.

944
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 5: That's our that's our boon and crocket. You know, when

945
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 5: we go out and kill a limited squirrel, that's our

946
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 5: big beard, that's our banded duck, banded duck. That's our

947
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty class buck. Whatever a limited squirrel

948
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 5: these guys found out to do. You know, this morning

949
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 5: we had six teams that showed up bare handed. They

950
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 5: didn't have any squirrels. Did you supply the squirrels?

951
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: Well, so those got a squirrel dog coming in hot

952
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: on it.

953
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 5: Well, this is most I've had a long time.

954
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 6: Might have a pocket full of medicines.

955
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 5: So we had a cooler and we had a twenty

956
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 5: twenty five squirrels in there. We had fifteen with the

957
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 5: biodegradable packaging still on them.

958
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 2: The fur.

959
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 5: I wouldn't follows. We had fifteen with the biout de

960
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 5: gradable packaging still on them, and we had ten with

961
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 5: that bioty of gradable packaging off of them. And whenever

962
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 5: I opened up that cooler and they said we got

963
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 5: to skin those things, I said, either that or wake

964
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 5: up earlier. We did a little rifle and we gave him.

965
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 5: And you know what, I used to be totally against that.

966
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 5: If you didn't have the squirrel, well you catch come.

967
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 5: But you know, a hunter's responsibility is to feed people. Yeah,

968
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 5: and that's the whole reason we've done it. And so

969
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 5: there's hunters who go out and come back to camp

970
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 5: and fed the people.

971
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: That's but five of.

972
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 6: Those gradable squirrel wrappers went to that fourteen year old

973
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 6: kid that had never handled you tottle in his life.

974
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 6: I went over there and showed him how to do that.

975
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 6: And we've made a squirrel hunter all that boy. I

976
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 6: guarantee you he'll be squirrel hunting from now to the

977
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 6: end of his life.

978
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 5: And can I tell you about that boy? So that

979
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 5: boy's name is Kayden Blake, and he's got a debilitating

980
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 5: bone disease. And about three years ago, that kid was

981
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 5: star football player and wrestler, He's everything, and he got

982
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 5: this debilitating disease and now he wears braces on his legs.

983
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 5: And he come to the Oklahoma State State Cookoff that

984
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 5: I was in seeing and his mama was pushing him

985
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 5: in a wheelchair and he can no longer play sports.

986
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 5: And he says, you know what I want to do.

987
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 5: I want to be a competition barbecue guy. I said, well,

988
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 5: guess what, You're gonna be fat, You're gonna be a drunk.

989
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 5: There's all kinds of problems that come from this son.

990
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 5: I said, you may want to learn how to paint

991
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 5: or something, and he says, no, I want want to

992
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 5: be a barbecue guy. And so I looked over and

993
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 5: there was a brand new The Oklahoma guys loved this.

994
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 5: There was a brand new Hasty Bake barbecue sitting over there.

995
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 5: And I walked over and I asked the boy. I said,

996
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 5: how much you take for that? And he told me

997
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 5: it was a fair amount, you know. And I wheeled

998
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 5: it over and I said, Kayden, it's your first step

999
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 5: to being a barbecue guy. I'm gonna give you this

1000
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 5: barbecue pit. And since then, that boy Malcolm could tell

1001
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 5: you he's cooked with every rock star barbecue guy there

1002
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,720
Speaker 5: is in the country. If you name a superstar, he's

1003
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 5: cooked with them. And the reason was is some dumb

1004
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 5: redneck from Arkansas bought that boy that barbecue pit. We

1005
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 5: could do the same thing with the twenty two rifle.

1006
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,240
Speaker 5: We could do the same thing.

1007
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 2: With a boat.

1008
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, your story about taking the old boy out coon hunting.

1009
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 5: It's our responsibility as men to be that guy that

1010
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 5: opens the door to these people. And so for you today, man,

1011
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 5: I hug you after this barefoot and all like y'all,

1012
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 5: but for you today to show that boy how to

1013
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 5: clean them squirrels. You change that kid's life another time.

1014
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 5: And it's super impressive that I've got a circle with

1015
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 5: so many cool people in it. It's just awesome.

1016
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 8: Amen, I wanted to say something about the progression of

1017
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 8: speaking for myself, getting to the point where you become

1018
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 8: obsessed with deer hunting and turkey hunting. You were talking

1019
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 8: about some kids today they'll shoot a turkey or deer

1020
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 8: before they ever go.

1021
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 3: Squirrel hunting or rabbit hunting.

1022
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 8: And I just think about my childhood and I grew

1023
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 8: up down on the Mulberry River in the Ozarks in Arkansas.

1024
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 8: I'm a sixth generation Ozark in My family has been

1025
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 8: here for a long time, so a lot of tradition

1026
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 8: passed down, a lot of just stories. But for me,

1027
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 8: it's it started with as a four or five year

1028
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 8: old on that property. It wasn't deer first, it was tadpoles.

1029
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 8: It's like, can I catch tadpoles? Can I catch crawdads?

1030
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 8: That fish that I see right there?

1031
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 2: Like?

1032
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 8: Can I catch that fish in those those reeds over there?

1033
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 8: And so my dad showing me the small things. Then

1034
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 8: as I got older and bigger, I was like, oh now, now,

1035
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 8: that's a squirrel. Now, now it's a bird over here,

1036
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 8: it's that turkey, it's a deer, it's a bear just recently.

1037
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 8: We got a bear just last weekend, and so some

1038
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 8: of that is yet. You may if you get exposed

1039
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 8: to something older and it's that's your only time you know,

1040
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 8: seeing it, you may not stick with it.

1041
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 3: But if you kind of start.

1042
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 8: Kids early and build that that hunt in them, that

1043
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:45,439
Speaker 8: will stick with them for life.

1044
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:45,959
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1045
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: Man, how does how does squirrel skin and contest go?

Speaker 2: Yeah?

1064
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 5: Elimination elimination round a squirrels.

1065
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,479
Speaker 1: I was tempted to get in there, but I didn't

1066
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: bring my clippers.

1067
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 5: I knew Kevin I.

1068
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: I use a method of a squirrel cleaning that he

1069
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: used clippers, not a knife. Have you ever I call

1070
00:53:51,719 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: it the Baitschool method. It's you take a whole squirrel,

1071
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 1: you clip his you clip his feet off, you clip

1072
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 1: his you clip all four feet off, clip his tail off,

1073
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: clip his head off. I mean you can do that

1074
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: just in seconds. And then you you you trim around

1075
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: the outside of the middle of the squirrel, just pinching

1076
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: the skin, and then you grab it and pull both

1077
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: directions and the front comes off and the top comes off.

1078
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: Have you have you seen people do that? I have

1079
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: not really. It's it's a pretty good method, especially if

1080
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: you you know the the tail method can sometimes the

1081
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,959
Speaker 1: tail method can sometimes be hard to skin if they've

1082
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 1: been shot, gun shot or something and and and they're

1083
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: all banged up. Anyway, I wondered if you'd ever seen that.

1084
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: I call it the Baitsful method because my buddy Michael Lanier,

1085
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,760
Speaker 1: he's from Baitsville. He taught it to mes. Main claim

1086
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 1: to fame is Michael Michael lanear and and then the method.

1087
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, so what's your timeframe? I'm getting that done.

1088
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: I hate to sound braggy, Kevin, he doesn't on the

1089
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,399
Speaker 1: on a good squirrel that's been headshot, that's not tore up,

1090
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: I can come close to getting it done in a minute,

1091
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 1: getting the guts out and everything. Now that doesn't mean

Speaker 2: Let's do it.

1130
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: It's not hard to you know, how this all started.

1131
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: Joe started this cookoff on a lie. Someone asked him

1132
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 1: a TV show was coming, Andrew Zimmern's show Bizarre Foods

1133
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 1: was coming to the Ozarks. They contacted our number one redneck,

1134
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: Joe Wilson, and they said Hey, we want to see

1135
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: some people cook squirrel And Joe said, well, we have

1136
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: the World Championship Squirrel cook Off here and she said,

1137
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: oh really, when is it? And he said, well, when

1138
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: are y'all coming? And she said and he said, well,

1139
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: I'll be darning. Just happened to be the same week

1140
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: and six weeks time, he put together like twenty something

1141
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: teams and they had the first first ever World Championship

1142
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: Squirrel Cookoff. Andrew Zimmern's team filmed it, and then it's

1143
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: gone on pretty much ever since except for COVID.

1144
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1145
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 5: Man, And and you know, I'll wrap up my part

1146
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 5: by just saying I had spectacular teams today. They worked

1147
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 5: real hard to bring what they brought to the table.

1148
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 5: I had a phenomenal group of judges. The facility, Joe,

1149
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 5: the facility, Arkansas Game and Fish stood up, man and

1150
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 5: gave us just a phenomenal place.

1151
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,479
Speaker 1: You know, tell what is the name of this place?

1152
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 5: You want me to try that again?

00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: It's the J.

Speaker 8: in Springdale? But man, I've had phenomenal people. I know,

1157
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 8: we touched a lot of people today by by doing

1158
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 8: this and so it cost me money to do this thing.

1159
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 8: I mean, there's no income, there's it's free to attend.

1160
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 8: I pay out money for the winners.

1161
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: Hey, that's got to change. Man, you needed to go

1162
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: fund me page.

1163
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 5: I don't own none of them.

1164
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,680

1165
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 5: We'll get you started started. I'm just saying a lot

1166
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 5: of the things that we've all done in our life

1167
00:58:55,160 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 5: people have thought were stupid. And there's alway I tell people,

1168
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 5: you're never too old to learn something stupid, for sure,

1169
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 5: But a lot of the stupid stuff that we've tried it,

1170
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 5: it's the oddity of it that makes us success. If

1171
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 5: I could said we were throwing a Hamburger cook off

1172
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 5: out here today, there would have been one hundred people.

1173
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 5: We cook this squirrel and we get thousands. And to

1174
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 5: what we think is normal, they think is as crazy

1175
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 5: as anything out there. So I'm proud. I'm proud of
