What people don't know is that Joannice wears 6 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: a special Latvian power ring. It's a somewhat lady like 7 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: braided silver ring and uh it's called a nams the ring. 8 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: Yannest paying absolutely no attention to what we're talking about 9 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: right now, just do my job. Here. Where's the special 10 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: Lavian decorative power ring on his right hand? Now his 11 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: father is here, and I would like his father also 12 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: named be honest, All Lavians are named, be honest. I 13 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: would like his father to explain to us all once 14 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: and for all, why uh why you fellas where Latvian 15 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: power rings? Okay, well, first, I'm not sure that where 16 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: the power of thing came from, because well because one 17 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: day I was making a joke like you know, you 18 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: know that genre of jokes that go like your ma, Yeah, okay, 19 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: I I got into those for a while and and 20 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: and I like to do it to Yanni because he's 21 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: the only guy knew that Cared got it. So if 22 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: you did a your ma if he's like, hey your ma, um, 23 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: he would actually act like you were talking about his mom. Yes, 24 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: And he said, the next time you do that, you're 25 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: gonna see a blinding flash of silver and as my, 26 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: as my namies makes contact with your face. So then 27 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: I started we started calling or I did, maybe the 28 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: Latvian power ring. So just we'll just call it anomies. 29 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: But I feel like if you said to Joe Blow 30 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: American that you had anamson, how are you talking about? 31 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: What if you said to them you're wearing a Lavian 32 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: power ring. I think that they start to get the picture. 33 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: It could be depends on where they're from. I don't 34 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: have the answer to that. So it's not a Latvian 35 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: power ring. It's just a ring. And now Mason, it 36 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: has a definite braiding to it. There's actually more than 37 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: one type, so you can get variations on them. It's 38 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: a it's a I think, a beautiful ring, and it's 39 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: something that Latvian men wear with a lot of pride. 40 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: But but you pointed out to me this week that 41 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: while hunting moose that you owned four, but stopped wearing anomies. 42 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,559 Speaker 1: I have three and then and they're broken because I 43 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: got my finger caught in the wrong place. And they're better. 44 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: You know, some are better than others. So yeah, they 45 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: break somewhat easily. So tell us, tell us all the story. 46 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: I want to warrant it. This has absolutely nothing to 47 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: do with the normal things we talked about on this program. 48 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: Which story, the one where I got my finger caught? 49 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: Why uh, why Latvians wear as rings? How that? How 50 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: that tradition came to be? I have no idea. Well, 51 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: I know you telling me something I already know. Yeah, 52 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: you tell them. Maybe I don't know more than I 53 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: about it. I told you the other day, I told 54 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: you the story to check it with you. I don't recall. 55 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: I can tell this, I know it. You should, Okay, 56 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: you know as well as anybody. Okay. Now, Lab's a 57 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: small country in Europe. Once upon a time they had 58 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: a king named a mast I remember the story. Okay, 59 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: A bad guy, an enemy of the Lavian folk says, uh, 60 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna come kill that king. Nas gonna kill him. 61 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: And someone must have said to him, well, how are 62 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: you gonna know it's him? How are you gonna know 63 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: to kill the right Lavian kind? The customer story, Nam says, 64 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: or the enemy of Nami says, well, he wears this 65 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: special braided ring, so I'm gonna find him and kill him. Now, 66 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: the Lavians get winto this, and they can coct a 67 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: scheme by which all Lavan men will go out and 68 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: get themselves a ring just like king names. Then the 69 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: bad guys gonna show up, and he's gonna have to 70 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: either kill every single Lavian male or he'll be you know, 71 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: you there's a story like this is the Bible. You know, 72 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: it has to do with paint stuff on doors. But 73 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,119 Speaker 1: uh so, now in case they're still out there looking 74 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: for him, it's it's you know, it's become tradition now 75 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: to wear the ring as an act of solidarity to 76 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: protect king. Though I'm guessing Lavina no longer has a king. 77 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: That that is true. Let me never had a king 78 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: as a democratic country, but it was a bunch of tribes, 79 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: so there were at some point there were king's hundreds 80 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: of years ago. So does that how much of that 81 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: story drives with the truth. Well, I mean, I think 82 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: it's a good story, so that it literally happened with 83 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: the legend. Yes, it would follow the legend. So so 84 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: why did I ask you to tell me the legendent? 85 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: You told me you didn't know that you didn't know 86 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: because I recall this story, I don't particularly no, I mean, 87 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure there may be other legends that deal with 88 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: this particular ring, like Latvian's have a bride's ring too, 89 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: has seven bells from it and those and you can 90 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: get various you can get variations on what every one 91 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: of the bells means or how it's to be worn 92 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: and how it's to be given. So so it's spend 93 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: their own yard sort of similar thing. Um I used 94 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: to for a long time. I had a Jewish girlfriend 95 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: and we would go to this uh this place. It 96 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: was fun to go. And he was placed called the 97 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: Habad House, where like super hard hitting ultra Orthodox, and 98 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: their mission is to take their their mission. I don't 99 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: know if they've stayed it quite this way, but their 100 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: mission would be that you take moderate Jews or secular 101 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: Jews and and and bring them into the traditional old way, 102 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: to bring him into the hard line. Yeah. So but 103 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: we would go down because we like talking to these 104 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: guys and getting the inside scoop on deep Judaism, and uh, 105 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: we're talking about the various prohibitions cause I was asking 106 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: the this rabbi. I was like, is it ever possible 107 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: whatever you possibly have kosher wild game? Like, could you 108 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: have kosher wild game? He said, the only way you 109 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: could have kosh your wild game because we just we 110 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: always ate wild games. So realized we can't be kosher, right, 111 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: So uh, he said, here's what you have to do. 112 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: You have to catch it in the net and not 113 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: harm it, not injured it at all, captured in the net, 114 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: and then bring it in for for kosher slaughter. Right, 115 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: That's the only way to do it. Anyways, what I'm 116 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: getting at is a similar thing where you would say 117 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: to this guy. You know, people say like there's like 118 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: this prohibition. There's this Old Testament, Like the Jewish Bible 119 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: is the you know, the tour is the Old Testament. 120 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: So there's a story in the Old Testament where you 121 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: have all the dietary prohibitions and and that originates because 122 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: they didn't want people eat bad food. Right, No, nope, nope, nope, no, 123 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: that's my assumption. But I'm just saying when I'm when 124 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: I put that to that guy, I said, to this 125 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: this hobbad house guys like, yeah, but don't you think 126 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: that they didn't want you to eat pork because you 127 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: could catch parasites from undercooked pork, and so it's sort 128 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: of like a prohibition that kind of saves you from yourself, right. 129 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: He said, you don't know why God said don't eat pork. 130 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: God didn't say don't eat pork because I'm concerned about 131 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: tricking nosis. It's not your business to even understand why 132 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: God said don't eat pork. God said don't eat pork. 133 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: Don't eat pork. Don't rationalize this and guess my motives. 134 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: My motives are unknown to you. But that's a little 135 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: different than the ring. Just reminds me that, Okay, sure, 136 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: that's acceptable. I mean, the ring is basically to protect 137 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: one person's life, to make it so is now dead. 138 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: Oh for many centuries, so many people still wear the 139 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: ring though, Rip a cow, call ladies and gentlemen, Oh ladies, gentes. 140 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: Brody Henderson, you don't you don't think I can't figure 141 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: out we have so many fly fishing guides on this 142 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: damn show.

You'll hear me 169 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: say something. Are you guys getting over your head set? 170 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: Here's a factory produced cow call. So now I think 171 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: it's the end that does it, that separates it. What mean, 172 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: separates the men from the boys. Yeah, bulls from the no. 173 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: There's something about the guttural quality that fall off that's 174 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: either real or us blowing out our noses. And mine 175 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: is real bad, and I can hear it be real bad. 176 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: But I think the difference isn't that that last little section. 177 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: Everybody can kind of make that tone, but it's that 178 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: that like exhale of whatever their exert exertion. Ye. Well, 179 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: here's the problem with it is this. Raise your hand. 180 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 1: There's six mugs sitting here. Raise your hand, ye, raise 181 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: your hand for radio. If you have heard a cow 182 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: or cow moose calling the wild, I've heard him be pestered. 183 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: I've heard bulls growing the wild on at least two 184 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: occasions that I'm thinking of right now. I've never heard 185 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: of Kyle, but Bowden when I told him ripped me 186 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: a cow call, he ripped a cower call. I started 187 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: talking about this in that place I've learned. He says, well, 188 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: that's just what I've heard Coles do. And he's not 189 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: a he's not a bragg and Fellow. So yeah, I 190 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: don't think it's a very complex sound. I think it's 191 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 1: probably a sound that just really like you know, it's 192 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: a sound meant to carry. And my guess is that 193 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: a bull isn't sitting there hearing it and be like, yeah, 194 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm buy it like educated Elkwood or an educated Turkey 195 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: who's seen it. Only because I think that in the 196 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 1: especially in the area we just came out of, I 197 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: don't think they hear a lot of calls. So we 198 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: just came out of area. We're seventy five miles seventy 199 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: five miles from a highway roughly central Alaska in the 200 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: Alaska Range, say five miles hond we just flew out 201 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: this morning. We've been out there, moosan um your honesty, 202 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: and you're tell him, tell explain your big bull and 203 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: what happened and all that, particularly the part about how 204 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: you conjured it. Oh, well, I just visually. I've been 205 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: visualizing this for a year, though it doesn't happen overnight. Oh, conjuring. 206 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: You started conjuring it a year ago. Well you can 207 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: call it what you like. What you called it, you 208 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: use the word manifesting. Manifesting visualizing that I was gonna 209 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: be when I knew that I was going on this 210 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: trip to hunt with my son and to hunt with you, 211 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: I just created this scenario where there would be this nice, 212 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: big bull to come in. And it did. But it's 213 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: more than that, because you told me where it would 214 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: come and how big it would be. Well, be honest 215 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: and in that wanted be true. Janice said that the 216 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: area where we are that somebody had killed the bull 217 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: before and it had literally come up the drainage. And 218 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: when I got there and saw the area, and I thought, well, 219 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,239 Speaker 1: this is just like what you know I've been conjuring 220 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: or thinking as you that story that you created a 221 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: mental picture, mental picture. The only difference was that I 222 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: was above the bull, and in the picture I had 223 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: seen this bull coming in on flat land. But the 224 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: bull was actually coming out of the drainage, and he 225 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: literally I was not expecting this bull. So we were 226 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: walking down and to this second we were on a 227 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: higher bench. We had walked down to that first bench 228 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: where you could see a little bit more of the 229 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: base of the valley, but not entirely. And when we 230 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: kept moving around, and I can talk about cameraman right right, so, uh, 231 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, Garrett's behind me, and we stop at one 232 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: point and start talking about the area and how nice 233 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: it looks and wouldn't it be nice? And then literally 234 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: as we stepped down to the lowest bench, the third bench, 235 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: we're there and Garrett is behind me. So minutes. Yeah, 236 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: I've been calling about every ten minutes, just what you heard. 237 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: And Garrett all of a sudden gives me one of 238 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: these taps on the shoulder and I go, ship man, 239 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: there's a ff and bull coming right. I mean, he 240 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: was probably well, he was closer when I first saw him, 241 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: because then he moved away on the drainage, So he 242 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: was probably seventy five when he first saw him and 243 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: moved out to about ninety when I shot him. So, uh, 244 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: but why were you surprised to see him? Because I 245 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: would feel that you would be like, well, here he is. Wait. Yes, 246 00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: I made him correct, But like when my child was right, 247 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: that's right, I wasn't like you know. I mean I was, 248 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: but I knew that it was coming right. Well, but 249 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: it's just like when you have a good experience and 250 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: you go like, yeah, but I didn't think it was 251 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: going to be that good. So yes, when I saw 252 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm only seeing the top of him, 253 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: barely seeing the hump and the antlers. And when I 254 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: dropped down, I mean he was doing the old mot 255 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: side to side swaying, and I mean he was hot. 256 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: He was looking for that cow that had made that sound. 257 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: The sound again, no, no, no, you're your cow call, Oh, 258 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: the real one, the one you use in the field. 259 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: Now again I may not be able to do it again, 260 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: approximation of the actual cow call you RiPP in the field. 261 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: You know that you're not trying for real face because 262 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: I know you're calling from the field, and I don't 263 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: why you won't treat the listen. I can't do it, 264 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: you sre my lips apart. Now I've been doing it 265 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: for you know, wind chap. Yeah, I said in the 266 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: picture too, because a mouse is at his shoulder as 267 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,479 Speaker 1: tall as a person, yes, and ways like even if 268 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,719 Speaker 1: you're a substantial size dude. He if you're a two 269 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: hud pound dude, he's still ways like six of you 270 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: laying there. Yes, that's what I'm saying. So the surprise 271 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: to see this animal and literally off to my right 272 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: below it, and then he disappeared because there's some brush 273 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: some of those uh a little dwarf birch or willows 274 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: that he's going through. Kind of picked the spot where 275 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: I knew he was coming through, dropped down to my knee, 276 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: you know, flipped up the scope covers, dropped one in 277 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: the chamber, made that defenders covers. Yes, I did defenders Yeah, yeah, right, 278 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: shooting that nice savage shooting. Uh some really great Federal 279 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: one eighties bear claws, Yeah, the little special tips on 280 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: him and bouched. Yeah. First shot, I mean I made 281 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: sure that Garrett was, you know, like you on this. 282 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: He acknowledged that he was. And the first shot at 283 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: just short of ninety yards right in the honeypot, and 284 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: you know, the bull kind of stopped. And they don't 285 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: do the statue of liberty like elk do or sometimes 286 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: there white tails you know what the kind of stand 287 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: up on your hind legs. But you could tell this 288 00:19:53,560 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: bull was hit and chambered another one and uh, hey, 289 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: he's still moving a little forward. We don't want to 290 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: chase this bull. We want to make sure he goes 291 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: down exactly where he is, So we put another one 292 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: and he was actually dropping down a little bit. So 293 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: that bullet came in. I'm sorry, he's going up more. 294 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: So it came in a little bit lower than what 295 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: I anticipated. But both both were killing shots and we 296 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: found the one bullet, so it was a perfect I 297 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: believe that was the first bullet. And then he ran 298 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: behind some spruce, got woozy and tipped right over. He 299 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: didn't run, he didn't go five yards. Yeah for the 300 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: second shot. Yeah, And I mean it was just textbook hunting, 301 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: kill everything. Yeah. The only thing the missing was Stephen 302 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: Ranella coaching me at that point, so I wouldn't have 303 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: nothing to say or did mess it up. Well, what 304 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: I thought was missing was the suffering, because it was 305 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: we had nine hunt days, ten hunt days, m and 306 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: the whole point of the whole trip to make me suffer, 307 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: to get your honest's day out of bull news. Okay, 308 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: So we did that successful. We had eight days left. 309 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: I just felt like it should have been like getting 310 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: dark on the last day and you're like crying. Who's 311 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: who's crying? Crying because like it didn't work out and 312 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: Austin's out of the bog man. Yeah, well, yeah, I 313 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: don't know about the crying part. That's probably you're never 314 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: going to see that. What did what did you think 315 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: about all that? Er dad got a bull so easily, 316 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: And what were you doing at the time while he 317 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: was getting this bull? Making coffee? Were you really at 318 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: the top of the hill because we're in a cold, 319 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: windy spot a couple of hours, I'm sure not like 320 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: the infamous wind tunnel you guys were sitting at. Our 321 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: calling station was called the wind tunnel. We didn't have 322 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: a tunnel. We're just like in a chamber. So you're 323 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: up there making some coffee. What how did you feel 324 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: when the old man starts blouching down there? Yeah, that's 325 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: what I was gonna say, Like my only I don't 326 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: call it a regret, but like, well, what could have 327 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: made it better for me? That would have been the 328 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: point of the trip if I would have been able 329 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: to see it. Yeah, earlier I summed up the whole 330 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: point of the trip. I missed a part. The whole 331 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: point of the trip was that your father was gonna 332 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: get a bull moose with you. Yeah, and then we 333 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: still kind of did Yeah, you're making coffee. He was close. 334 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: I mean he was hundred yards a hundred fifty yards 335 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: up the hill. So when when you heard boat boat, 336 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: what do you think? Bull down? Did you really? You 337 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: don't think he's getting malled by Chris. I'll tell you 338 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: something interesting. So we butchered the ball, which is no 339 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: small task, perfect weather for bull butchering. But um, we 340 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: butchered the ball. Was it the next day? I think 341 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: when the wolverine showed up the next day or two 342 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: days later? Maybe next day? Yeah, so we go to Yeah, 343 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: there's a glass and tip where you can look down 344 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: on where the no two days because we went caribou 345 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: hunting the next day and then the next day. Oh yeah, 346 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: I decidn't want to go hunt with you. A little 347 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: bit before I get to the Wolverene. How you double manifested? Yeah, yeah, 348 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: this is where I see. I'm a very skeptical person. 349 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: There's a famous quote that I often tell you, honest, Um, 350 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: Skepticism is the chastity of the mind. No, the chastity 351 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: of the intell intellect. Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect. 352 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: So fellow tells me he's gonna conjure up or he's 353 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: gonna manifest the bowl. I but my knee jerk reaction 354 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: is skepticism. That's interesting. But nevertheless, you're sitting on a chair. 355 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: Is somebody conjured? Yeah, then had to make it. Oh, 356 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: so what's the difference? What's the difference difference? If I 357 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: could tell you, it would take me while to think 358 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: of it, and I don't want the listeners to get 359 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: bored while I try to articulate, while I try to 360 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: conjure and then articulate. Why that's different? I can tell 361 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: you the difference is you don't believe that you can 362 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: do it, and you haven't worked on that skill set. 363 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: But you know what your skill sets are. You know, 364 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: conventional college education, a lot of honey education, right, and 365 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: you have a great deal of woodsmanship and knowledge. Nobody, 366 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: I mean you created all of that, right? How did 367 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: all that start? Where did that come from? You can 368 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: call it conjuring, you can call whatever you want. Man 369 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: of fact. It's the same thing. It's just that people 370 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: don't realize what and we do this every day, and 371 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: what happens is we get stuck in our environments of 372 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 1: maybe perhaps you have a parents that says it, well, 373 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: you can't do this, or hey, if you don't become 374 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: a doctor, you're no good. Right, So you decide to 375 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: be a woodsman and a writer, Well you're no good, 376 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: Steve right, and that we are, you know, kind of 377 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: kept in line in that way. I think that if 378 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: you understand that anybody has that capacity as a human 379 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: being and nothing special, I do see what you're saying 380 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: that I'm kind of I'm coming around the way you're thinking. 381 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: And I don't mean I don't want you to think 382 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm trickeralizing the ships. I'm not. It doesn't matter to 383 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: me because I have lived my life this way. It 384 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: matters to you some amount, or you wouldn't have just 385 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: said you wouldn't have taken the energy to tell me 386 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: that energy. You can't take energy to tell me and 387 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: then say it doesn't matter. Well, of course it matters. 388 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: But because that's the way I lived my life, and 389 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: I'm agree, I'm starting to see a point what you're 390 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: saying because you said that you had a you had 391 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: an image how this would work. You got there, you 392 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: you had this thing, and what do you need to 393 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,239 Speaker 1: do to make it work. It wasn't gonna work if 394 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: you say at your tent, that is correct. But in 395 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: order to make this work, I'm gonna call, I'm gonna 396 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: go look there, I'm gonna go look there, I'm gonna call. 397 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look there and look there. I'm gonna call 398 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: and gonna look there and look there. And they had 399 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: you needed to do it for ten days, for two days. 400 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: One day you were gonna Yeah, I understand. And and 401 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: I'm and I'm pointing out because it's a little bit 402 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: funny and also kind of interesting that that at the moment, 403 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 1: you didn't know that correct. I didn't know that your 404 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: bull was in root, but you had a bowling root. 405 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: And I was in the drainage. I was point six 406 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: miles away. I checked my jeeps, uh, because I took 407 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: a way point I found a bull. I have been 408 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: calling at a call station the wind tone and I 409 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: go there and there's a bull but thrashing brush hunter 410 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: yards from where we were calling, and took a gander 411 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: at him, kicked it around bull bed down. Couldn't find it, 412 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: bro what you found it? Came told me he found it. 413 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: We went over the head to look at it, and 414 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: I said, well, let's go grab Janice's dad and see 415 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: if he wants to put the moves on this bull. 416 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: No sooner do we just like I'm packing my bag 417 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: and we're even kicking around, like should we leave our 418 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: ship or grab our ship? I was taking way point 419 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: who right? So you had and it's not like we 420 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: had a ton of accounting. We saw some bulls, but 421 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 1: I mean they're close encounters. And you you you had 422 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: manifested bulls up two parallel draws or I'll take credit 423 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: for the one. But it was mysterious. Do you remember 424 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: the way you met you su tell you everything about it. 425 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 1: I'm sure there was a bit of manifesting in that. Okay, No, 426 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: I didn't know. I never manifested that I would like 427 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: have a different girlfriend and then go to a business 428 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: meeting in New York and meet a gal who grew 429 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 1: up like an hour and forty five minutes from where 430 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: I grew up. And it wasn't my mind. But you 431 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: know what I did say this, I had already known 432 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: her but after me and my girlfriend, my last girlfriend 433 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: broke up. I said, at the end of that relationship, 434 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: I said, from now on, I am only dating Michigan 435 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: girls ever. Smart man have a wonderful Yeah, and I'm 436 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: sure if you looked at it more in detail you 437 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: would find more than just per chance. Corey, what do 438 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: you think about all this? No? I love this stuff. 439 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: It's right up my alley, you know, visualization and something 440 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: occurs that becomes the truth. We weren't we talking just 441 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: on the last shoot about like the difference between imagination 442 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: and a great idea. No, I think Corey and I 443 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: were were Maybe you were not the last year I'm sorry, 444 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: two shots ago in Nevada. Maybe it was Joe and 445 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: I were talking about this. We're talking about how the 446 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: fact is is that like the same thing happens in 447 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: your rain. Sometimes it works out like immediately, or something 448 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: resolves and people go, damn, that was a great idea. 449 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: If if there is no resolve, people could just say, oh, 450 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: they're just kind of imagining things, So that's his imagination. 451 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: You can kind of write it off in that way. 452 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: Does that make sense? It doesn't. I feel like it's 453 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: the failures on my part. I just don't understand like 454 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: it's one of the same thing. It's just how it's perceived, 455 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: like your brain doing the same thing. So if you 456 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: see you're having like an an idea or something that 457 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: just happens in your brain, you okay, you're sitting there, 458 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: you have an idea, yeah, or I imagine something whatever 459 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: you want to call you that has like vanilla accents, 460 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: for instance, yes, okay, okay, and I go and make 461 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: it okay, and it just happens that accents is a 462 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: good thing. Doesn't sound good to me, but I come 463 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: back and you're like, damn, great idea oka, or you'd 464 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: be like, man, that guys just imagining things. When people 465 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: say it that way, just say you're imagining things, it 466 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: kind of puts it in this negative sort of connotation 467 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: where it's just like this wild, kind of like goofy 468 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: thing that really didn't make it much of anything. Where 469 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: when they say, man, great idea, all of a sudden, 470 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: it's like, put up on this pedestal. The same thing 471 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: happened I hear you're saying. But it's a difference because 472 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: you wouldn't say, like, let's say, I'm like, oh, world 473 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: peace right now? People say, imagine world peace. You can't 474 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: say I got an idea world peace, okay, because it's 475 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: exists at an imaginary level, because it's almost like a 476 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: hypothetical notion. That's it's kind of impossible. No one would 477 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: say imagine. You could say, like, imagine beer with nilla accents. 478 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: You could just be like, I'm gonna make beer with 479 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: vanilla accents. But you can't go and make world peace. 480 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: You have to imagine world peace, not world not world peas, 481 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: but world peace or world peas you can make. So 482 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: there is a big difference between an idea of something 483 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: and imagining something. Right. Well, this is the funny thing 484 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: people that this is introduced. I'm Rick Smith. Dangers like, yeah, okay, 485 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: tell you whatever happened last. But people with wildly unorthodox 486 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: views are often kind of put in the crackpot until 487 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: they actually do something that makes effects. Makes make some visionaries. 488 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: So most visionaries, once they have had their idea and 489 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: implemented it, you know, in retrospect, it's like, oh, that 490 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: guy was just like this budding genius. But at the 491 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: time when he was an actual budding genius, everybody thought 492 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: that guy is just a weirdo thinking about some idea 493 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: that nobody has thought about and imagining things. But some 494 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: of them were crackpots, like Hitler was a crack pot, 495 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: well or all, I mean crack pot. If you put 496 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: your idea into practice, might have some great effects, whether 497 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: they'd be negative or positive. If you had one, there'd 498 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: be a segment of the population they would talk about 499 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: him being like, you know, like true believers would say 500 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: that he was a visionary, right, you know. And you 501 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: know when Steve Jobs was cruising around, you know, at 502 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: Reed College attending classes for free, people were like, that 503 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: guy is a weirdo. He's not paying for class, he's 504 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: just sitting in. What is he doing with his life? 505 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: But once he was running a billion dollar empire, it's like, oh, 506 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: Steve Jobs the messiah freaking technology. I just read a 507 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: piece about the sculptor Michael Heiser, and he's one of 508 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: the earth movers, you know, the guys do like large 509 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: formation sculptures out on the earth and also welding steel 510 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: and making giant things that you can't put in new 511 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: museum now. And this piece is talking about like his 512 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: father was an archaeologist and he'd come from a ranch family, 513 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: and and it was talking about his father. He was 514 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: like a straight f student in a terrible funk up, 515 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: and his father later came to him and said, I'm sorry, 516 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: we just all thought you were a loser, but he 517 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: made it right. Yeah, I don't I don't think there's 518 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: any I don't know that the idea that you can 519 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: do well in school and that is predictive of your 520 00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: future success is a correlation. Hardly bush. Yet there's hardly 521 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: a correlation between doing well. I guess we were so 522 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: we're just so badly. So we've cut this moose up. Now, 523 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: we cut this moose up, and the bat came on 524 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: a moose. We explained the weight because it's a little 525 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: bit complicated. Yeah, well, I think our pilot today, who's 526 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: handled many many moose, and we're asking about why they 527 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: have to be de bones, and he said he don't 528 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: really care about the bones themselves. It's the fact that 529 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: you get a rear ham that weighs somewhere between a 530 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: d and a hundred fifty pounds, and you have to 531 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: wield it in one big chunk. That's why you have 532 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: to debone it and then split it into two. They 533 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: like fifty pound chunks, So every ham is you know, 534 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: hy pounds and that was Yeah, this is cut off 535 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: at the ball skinned, cut off at the ball joint, 536 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: and cut off at the set at the what what 537 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,879 Speaker 1: we consider the knee. And by the way, I want 538 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 1: to point out what a badass you are, Steve, because 539 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: you walked one of those suckers all the way back 540 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: up to camp damn in a backpack. Do you say 541 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: badass or dumbassad bad The dumbass words should go to 542 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: Korey and I for doing it without a backpack. We 543 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: take team to one of those just because, yeah, they 544 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: put it over their shoulder like they're carrying a piece 545 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: of log and you're kind of doing like a Chinese 546 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: dragon thing, you know, with sticking out of the bottom. Yeah, 547 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: you're just not Like, the size of these things is 548 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 1: hard to get across. So if you took the front, 549 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,280 Speaker 1: like a moose's highest the highest spot on the moose 550 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: is the you know, the shoulders, it's not actually the shoulders, 551 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: but it's backbone. Has that thing there. When you cut 552 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: the front leg off, then cut it off at the knee, 553 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: that's some bitch comes up to your clavicles. You set 554 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,439 Speaker 1: it on the ground, It's like, yeah, huge big piece 555 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: of meat anyway, yanaka continue the story. No, well, obviously, 556 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: because we wait on one tip at our scale, at max, 557 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: our hunter pound hunter sex. So cut this mooz all up, 558 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: and uh, you can't. You're flying in the places were 559 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: flying when you're flying it on something called supercup, and 560 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: a super cup has the capacity to carry uh just 561 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: hundred four h pounds three fifties what they want on max. Yeah, 562 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: but they'll carry four the way some air carriers. The 563 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: way some air carriers will do it is they'll just 564 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: take your body weight. So they'll say that you can 565 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: put a grown person in there. Just has to do 566 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 1: with weight distribution. You put a grown person in there 567 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: and his clothes and whatever he's got on him, and 568 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 1: then fifty additional pounds. So if you're going on a 569 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: on a sheep hunt in a super cubs on dolls 570 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: sheep and land in the mountains, you might have it 571 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: dictated you by your bush pilot, your transporter that you 572 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 1: can only have fifty pounds of you can only have 573 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 1: a fifty pound backpack that's gonna want to put into 574 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: a super cup now when you're flying. So when you're 575 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 1: flying a moose quarter so the moose quarterways a hundred 576 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: thirty pounds. Obviously the plane has the capacity to do it, 577 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: but you gotta get it in a little tight spot. 578 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: So they don't like the flyout bone meat. They they 579 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: stipulate that you, um sorry, they don't like to fly 580 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: out bone in meat. And this air carried that we 581 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: were flying with makes you bone out your moose meat 582 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 1: and have bags that weighed no more than fifty pounds 583 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: per bag, and we had probably about it. No I 584 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: think you counted a sixteen or seven Okay, yeah, because 585 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 1: we had to separated more. Okay, the pounds. The pilot said, 586 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: five pounds is what they're flying out from. So five 587 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: h pounds of bone was meat. We want not taking 588 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,879 Speaker 1: some of the marrow bones out on a later flight. Now, 589 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: the pilot one of the piles to tell me a 590 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 1: couple of interesting things. He uh, his wife cooks uh 591 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: when he killed the moose. He knew his wife His 592 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 1: wife uh was brought up in in in Native Alaskan culture, 593 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:21,399 Speaker 1: and they she uses all the merrow when he kills moose. 594 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: He has to bring all the marrow bones home because 595 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: she wants the merrow. He brings the nose home and 596 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: they take the whole nose of the moose, burn the 597 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: hair off with a blowtorch, boil it until it gets soft, 598 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 1: cut it in slices, and just put salt on it 599 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: and eat it. And he knew that she liked the stomach, 600 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: but they do cut the carsage out of the nose. 601 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: That's what he's saying. He knew that she likes the stomach, 602 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: so he went and took the stomach and washed it 603 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 1: all out in the creek and brought the stomach home. 604 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: And she was pissed because you don't want to wash 605 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 1: it too well because all the stomach you washed away, 606 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: all the stomach acids and things in those stomach acids 607 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:08,760 Speaker 1: are what lends it like the right texture and taste. Interesting, Yeah, 608 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: I heard. I learned that this morning. So to cut 609 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 1: this moose up, and lo and behold, two days go by, 610 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: and uh we go over there, and uh shiploads of 611 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 1: ravens hanging around, and we're looking at the wolverine scavenging 612 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: the carcass. The wolverine has a hoof, a hoof from 613 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,399 Speaker 1: the knee down, which is a substantial chunk of thing, 614 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,439 Speaker 1: and he's dragging it and he's getting dive bombed by 615 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: ravens and then Uh would stop what he was doing 616 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: now and then to kind of like hiss at and 617 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: and kind of challenge the ravens and then drug his 618 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: hoof over the hill. We started making plans to uh 619 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: get the wolverine and put a tag on him. And 620 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 1: the wolverine never turned up again. But we had hiked 621 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: this meat up, bone in meat up to the airstrip 622 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,879 Speaker 1: and boned it there. And over the course of the night, 623 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,720 Speaker 1: the moose dragged off two hold back boned out legs. 624 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: What did I say, No, he didn't do it was 625 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: the wolverine and dragged all that stuff off, going to 626 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: cash it somewhere. When we were fixing to kill the wolverine, 627 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:33,959 Speaker 1: Rick got sensitive. We realized that Rick has a do 628 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 1: not He has a special animal list in his mind. 629 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: Can you speak to this? Yeah, I mean, I mean 630 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,280 Speaker 1: are on the list? They're on there on there, especially 631 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:52,439 Speaker 1: they're carrying a baby on their back. I mean, why 632 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: is the wolverine? I understand. I was want you to 633 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: tell me why. I mean, for me, the idea of 634 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 1: eating wolverine, why, how possible? Does not seem practical? Um? 635 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of death for a little meat. Yeah, 636 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,439 Speaker 1: a lot of death for a little meat. And it's 637 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 1: a symbol of wildness in a way that very few 638 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: critters are. I mean, they just their ranges are pretty large. 639 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: But I understand why you would want to kill a wolverine. 640 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: They have the coolest freaking but range is as big 641 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: as a cariboo. That's true, Okay, So why was it? Okay? 642 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: Why is the density? Well, yeah, I mean it's not ranged. 643 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: Don't tell me it's range because it's not range. Yeah, 644 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 1: but he's the only he's the only one in his range. 645 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: There might be a couple, but the terms of the 646 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: terms of density and abundance where they are in the 647 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: trophic scale, there's there's this freaking glacial weasel. I mean, 648 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: they evolved to deal with super cool there and just 649 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: like the cariboo, I like the caribou too, but I like, 650 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: I think I would like eating the caribooe better than 651 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 1: the wolverine. So in a way, it has to do 652 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,840 Speaker 1: with and I know because I have things that I 653 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,760 Speaker 1: don't like to things that I've eaten that I wouldn't 654 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 1: want to go get myself. Okay, But but when you 655 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,919 Speaker 1: look at it at a at a wolverine. Yeah, it's 656 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: that um. Is it fair to say that you value 657 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,839 Speaker 1: him more alive than dead? Yeah? I mean I see 658 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 1: him kind of like us, Like he's cruising around looking 659 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: for his meal in a way that we are, and 660 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: I put him on our level in a way that 661 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: I don't put the caribou or the moose. That makes sense. Okay, 662 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: would you put a pine Martin? I like part of 663 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: pine Martins as much as a wolverine. They're pretty badass. Yeah. 664 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 1: A monkey? Yeah, monkey more or less. If we had 665 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: a monkey and a wolverine standing there and I said, 666 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 1: rick on one of them, what kind of what kind 667 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:09,719 Speaker 1: of monkey? Ranging? No tailed monkey? Like a capuchin, white 668 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 1: white face capuchin. Yeah, they're they're relatively abundant. Red howler 669 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: mean little fucker's capuchins in a red howler. That's the 670 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: kind of iet the howler. How was it? Yeah? I 671 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,439 Speaker 1: said a thousand tas. It tastes like if you took 672 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 1: a steel cable and put liquid smoke on it. Oh yeah, 673 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: that bad. I just like a dry I mean they 674 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 1: smoked the jeeps on thing. What do you think it 675 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: tastes like? I don't know, I'm eating blue smoke, turkey, 676 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 1: drop stick. I mean, I'm eating blue guy, which I 677 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,839 Speaker 1: think is worse than the in a old ring in 678 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,000 Speaker 1: some ways. So if I had a red holler monkey, 679 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 1: a bluega whale, and a wolverine, I said, Rick, I'm 680 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 1: killing one of them and you're eating it. Man, you 681 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 1: would tell me to shoot the ah the I think 682 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: that the one I like the lease is the howler. Okay, whale, 683 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: but that's the whale. A wolverine and a monkey, Yeah, 684 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 1: you would say shoot the monk. That's a great game. 685 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like the listeners need to 686 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 1: chime in and send in their their answer. The wolverine, Yeah, 687 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:32,399 Speaker 1: a whale, a monkey, I know, and that's probably that's 688 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,399 Speaker 1: a good answer. I think that's a good answer. I mean, 689 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 1: the coolest thing about wolverine is I mean, they're freakingly 690 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 1: he warmed up to the idea. No, no, we definitely 691 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,840 Speaker 1: did not. And I understand this is a like a 692 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: human like when I the new iPhone comes out, I 693 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 1: want one. That's how I feel about wolverine, hight Like, 694 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 1: I just kind of want it, like in a I 695 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: want to take the session of it. And I think 696 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 1: that desire is problematic a little bit. Yeah, it's like 697 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 1: it's part of like consuming culture kind of thing, like 698 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 1: I want to I want to have it. I want 699 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 1: to put it on my jacket because they're cool. It's cool. Yeah, yeah, 700 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 1: you know, but even if you lived, like if you're 701 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 1: the last person alive on Earth. Okay, so your last 702 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: person alive on the planet. And when I put this out, 703 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, there is no there's no more checking 704 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: things against your peers. There's no more any sort of judgment, 705 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 1: like judgment is gone. There is no judgment left on 706 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 1: the planet. So your own judgment of yourself, right. I 707 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: feel in that situation, you would kill the wolverine right 708 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: off the bat because I want it. Yeah, because you 709 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 1: didn't want to kill the wolverine. I think because it 710 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,320 Speaker 1: had something to do with your perceived the perceived judgment 711 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,839 Speaker 1: I'm there is. Yeah, I think that's probably the last 712 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: man on Earth would want that thing. He'd be like, 713 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 1: she looks warm. Yeah, there's something desirable about it, for sure, 714 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,440 Speaker 1: but I don't need it. I got some oil based 715 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 1: material that does pretty good, and and those porty geese 716 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: provide amazing Yeah. I'm not trying to I'm not trying 717 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,400 Speaker 1: to put holes with thin because it's my feeling about it. 718 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to kill the wolverine because I have 719 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,720 Speaker 1: said for many years that there's one animal, like outside 720 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 1: of a polar bear, there's one sort of animal in 721 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:35,720 Speaker 1: the you know, the large North American critters, land critters 722 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,800 Speaker 1: that I hadn't laid eyes on. And it was him, 723 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,839 Speaker 1: and there I wasn't there he was and I got 724 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 1: to see him, and I said, yes, I don't want 725 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 1: to shoot the first wolverine I ever saw. I didn't 726 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 1: want to shoot the first links I ever saw. Yeah, 727 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a good because it's like, but I'm like, 728 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: how about it another one popped over the hill, just 729 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 1: like I would feel different about the second one because 730 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,120 Speaker 1: I felt like I didn't have a personal the personal 731 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 1: level of context with where I didn't have that predatory feel. 732 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,280 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, and I know that the best 733 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 1: material for trimming out a parka wolverine's wolverine. Damn straight 734 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 1: frost and stuff. It doesn't frost up, doesn't frosty. So 735 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 1: if you saw that wolverine the next day you went 736 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 1: to went after it because it was still would have 737 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 1: been the same one I would have rather someone else 738 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 1: went after it. Yeah, you know, and I'll point out 739 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: to listeners, Um, if you're a non resident honey in Alaska, 740 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: it depends what unit you're in. The unit we were in. Um, 741 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 1: you're allowed one wolverine per season, so we're not going 742 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,600 Speaker 1: out on a limb here without ten. And this unit 743 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:51,760 Speaker 1: we're in your allowed ten wolves, one wolverine, one wolverine proceed, 744 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 1: So we're not talking about something. Yeah, this is like 745 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,880 Speaker 1: by the books sort of sort of thing. September September one, 746 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: if you want it. If you did want to kill 747 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,719 Speaker 1: that wolverine, I would have been like, sweet, yeah, give me, 748 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,120 Speaker 1: give me part of it. But yeah, most folks without 749 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:13,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of education would probably think that the wolverines, well, 750 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 1: I guess they are. It's kind of similar situations the 751 00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 1: grizzly bear, Like in a lower forty eight, there's not 752 00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 1: a lot of them. They're also like you often hear 753 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 1: the term symbol of or icon of, and the wolverine 754 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:35,719 Speaker 1: is one of those iconic wilderness northern animals. Yea, yeah, 755 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 1: university mission. Well, some people say wolver the wolverine may 756 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,439 Speaker 1: have never stepped foot in Michigan. Do you know that 757 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 1: they just spotted one a couple of year or two ago. 758 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 1: I think that's the thing about the Lower forty versus Alaska, right, 759 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,279 Speaker 1: lower forty eight, we have all these like well, like 760 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: preserving wilderness, and Alaska just is and wilderness. It just 761 00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 1: is wilderness. You don't have to even think about it. 762 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 1: There's a much susy bears occupy like nine of the range, 763 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:07,040 Speaker 1: wolves occupy nineties percent of the exactly functioning, much different 764 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,480 Speaker 1: view of grizzlies in the Lower forty eight than they 765 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: do up here, like very differently. And you can kill 766 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of wolverines, you can kill wolves, you can 767 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,160 Speaker 1: kill grizzly bears in Alaska and there's not any global 768 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:22,880 Speaker 1: effect to their populations. And they view the wolf the nuisance. 769 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,920 Speaker 1: That's what. Yeah, in some areas to some degree, in 770 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 1: the area we were hunting in, Um, they get after 771 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 1: wolves pretty hard because they're trying to they're trying to 772 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: assist a beleaguered herd of caribou in the area, So 773 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 1: they tend to get after wolves pretty hard in that area, right, Um, 774 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,239 Speaker 1: And your thoughts on this wolverine thing, that's cool to see. Yeah, 775 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 1: I liked it. I mean it's pretty rare to to 776 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 1: be able to see a wolverine in person. One of 777 00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 1: our pilots today, forty four years in a Alaska I'm 778 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:11,399 Speaker 1: guessing probably twenty or more of them flying. Never seen one. No, yeah, yeah, 779 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: we all expect grizzlies to show up in camp. There 780 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,360 Speaker 1: was grizzly ship everywhere and then boom, a wolverine shows 781 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,479 Speaker 1: it up right next to camp. So that was pretty cool. 782 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 1: You know, one thing I want to make a little 783 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 1: remark about which some hunter I've done a lot of 784 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 1: hunting out West are significantly more than most Midwest hunters. 785 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 1: And on occasion out West, you know, you'll be walking 786 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,359 Speaker 1: a big field or a meadow and you'll come up 787 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 1: on grizzly bear, well not grizzly bear, but just black 788 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:44,359 Speaker 1: bear ship. Here. When you're walking these meadows, every third 789 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:49,280 Speaker 1: step there's a bear turd and some of them like Brody, 790 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 1: that one big pile, big boy, This is no kidding, 791 00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 1: I've got a normal sized fist. This ejection came out 792 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,919 Speaker 1: of the bear was bigger than my bigger gauge bigger 793 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 1: gauge friend Bearer Biologist Carl Malcolm said that there is 794 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,920 Speaker 1: a correlation and they use it in research as a 795 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,239 Speaker 1: correlation between the gauge on a bear ship in the 796 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,879 Speaker 1: size of the bear man. I would believe it. I mean, 797 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,000 Speaker 1: and but you're seeing a lot of You have to 798 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 1: understand like you're seeing a ton of bearship where you 799 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 1: are because you're in the spot. You're in the barry 800 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 1: zone right and get above the alder and dwarf birds 801 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 1: and they're the alpine. But there's still a lot of 802 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,520 Speaker 1: good groundcover before you get into the bear rock and 803 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 1: there's like a there's a band of exceptional barry growth. 804 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,879 Speaker 1: You happen to be also, you know when you're honey 805 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 1: has been a lot of time in that band because 806 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 1: it's got a good visibility, easy traveling. So you're in 807 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,040 Speaker 1: there where the bears are, and there's just a lot 808 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,919 Speaker 1: of bear ship there. So it's like that little boy 809 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 1: digging for that pony on that piloo. I don't know, 810 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 1: but it's an old story, like you know, my dad 811 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 1: always told this story. Yeah no, I haven't heard this. 812 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:10,920 Speaker 1: So my dad said, you said there's two kinds of people. Okay, now, 813 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 1: well no, my dad put like this.

First thing, 902 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,640 Speaker 1: I didn't even off the plane, throw up my knockers 903 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,600 Speaker 1: and I see three grizzlies and three caribou. I'm sorry, 904 00:57:54,600 --> 00:58:01,600 Speaker 1: explained that throw your what up knockers by no oh binocular. Okay, 905 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,000 Speaker 1: I was called boks well when I grew up knockers 906 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,080 Speaker 1: for something else that they still are. But I keep 907 00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 1: my knockers right there at that part of my body. 908 00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:14,680 Speaker 1: And when I see a fella and I like his knockers, 909 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:20,720 Speaker 1: I'd be like, nice knockers, bro, You've never said that. 910 00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,120 Speaker 1: So that was day one. I didn't I didn't see 911 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:29,280 Speaker 1: those three. I think the next day I lasted up 912 00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:34,800 Speaker 1: six bulls. But we were moose hunting and we're like thinking, 913 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 1: there's gonna be more caribou, and they're they're moving. We 914 00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 1: later heard we're moving northward. Yeah. The way they what 915 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,320 Speaker 1: these bulls did that day is we spotted them fairly 916 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,440 Speaker 1: early and actually ended up betting in this big valley 917 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,280 Speaker 1: for quite a while and then feeding, and they never 918 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:56,200 Speaker 1: left sight before dark, so they actually could have been bulls. 919 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,200 Speaker 1: We could have caught it. Yeah, that day I think 920 00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:05,160 Speaker 1: I saw yeah, one bull. It was tricked out. He 921 00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 1: was already getting his his He was already getting his 922 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:14,800 Speaker 1: winter pellage, big white main, big white feet, clean antlerd, 923 00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:16,840 Speaker 1: big sun a bit, and he had five or six 924 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,320 Speaker 1: coles with him. Yeah. Out of the six I saw, 925 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,439 Speaker 1: half looked like that, half tricked out like all five 926 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,480 Speaker 1: yo out. So we're pretty good. We're pretty confident that 927 00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna see more cariboo. We've been told we're probably 928 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:34,320 Speaker 1: hunting stragglers, but at that point we've been seeing cariboo 929 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 1: every day.

It was we 981 01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:02,920 Speaker 1: did yeah, I mean you're no, this is not normal 982 01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,920 Speaker 1: TV production. We had to catch him. Carib was one 983 01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,440 Speaker 1: of the few things you could run after that high elevation. Like, 984 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:14,000 Speaker 1: let's back up, because it just general carrib hunt. When 985 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:17,720 Speaker 1: I spend a little bit of time caribe hunting, uh, 986 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 1: we would go and get on a big high knob 987 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:28,520 Speaker 1: or a big high tit and just wait and and 988 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,240 Speaker 1: why because they're always moving, like you seldom watched then 989 01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,600 Speaker 1: just like rarely doesn't care. Just stay someplace, to stay 990 01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:35,920 Speaker 1: there all day long. They just are drifting and we 991 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,960 Speaker 1: would sit out there and you have to catch them 992 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:44,400 Speaker 1: where You're always like calculating, like if we start a 993 01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:47,560 Speaker 1: hauling asks now we'd be able to intercept him somewhere. 994 01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:49,720 Speaker 1: If you caught one going away from me, you can't 995 01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:53,280 Speaker 1: catch him. You know, he's like a mile out. You're 996 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:59,400 Speaker 1: not gonna overtake a grazing caribou there just like moving. Um, 997 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,440 Speaker 1: we see the most of them when if we're hunt 998 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:07,640 Speaker 1: in August early September and if there was a wind 999 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:11,320 Speaker 1: it feels breezy, you would not see carribo. You wouldn't 1000 01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,479 Speaker 1: see any cariboos. Then the winded die. In the minute 1001 01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:19,160 Speaker 1: the wind died, the hordes of mosquitoes and white socks 1002 01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 1: and black flies would rise up out of the tundra 1003 01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 1: and start mauling you. And you put your mash gloves on, 1004 01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,800 Speaker 1: and you put your bug net on your head, and 1005 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,960 Speaker 1: then you start seeing shiploads of cariboos because the bugs 1006 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,000 Speaker 1: would bother the carribe was so bad. That would make 1007 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,720 Speaker 1: the carribould get up and start moving, and they would 1008 01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,320 Speaker 1: settle into these little draws and stuff to feed. And 1009 01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 1: then when it got buggy, they just start hauling ask 1010 01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 1: because they wanted to get away from the bugs. And 1011 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 1: you're always like trying to gauge where you could catch them. 1012 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,480 Speaker 1: We started off after Yanni's carried, but kind of not really. 1013 01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:56,040 Speaker 1: We thought we were being that we were gonna go 1014 01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:03,280 Speaker 1: and way had them off and then actually go toward him. Yeah, 1015 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,240 Speaker 1: but by the time we go out there, we way 1016 01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,520 Speaker 1: missed the mark. Way missed him, and we were saved 1017 01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:12,880 Speaker 1: by the gregarious nature of caribou. Yeah, he was on 1018 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:16,280 Speaker 1: his own, gonna just feed walk do the care. Both 1019 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,760 Speaker 1: caribou thing across the bottom of the valley and up 1020 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,919 Speaker 1: the other side and disappear over the ridge. And as 1021 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,440 Speaker 1: he's cressing the ridge and he's on the horizon again 1022 01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,760 Speaker 1: on gone gone, I mean ten more, ten more, ten 1023 01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,600 Speaker 1: more steps and yeah, you're not being our bellies. At 1024 01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:35,160 Speaker 1: this point, he happens to look over his shoulder and 1025 01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:39,720 Speaker 1: see six mugs and cameras and dudes throwing their packs 1026 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,320 Speaker 1: down getting ready to shoot. And he's like, oh, what's 1027 01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:48,040 Speaker 1: that my friends? Yeah, he's like and he was a 1028 01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:51,280 Speaker 1: young bull, so he's probably that much more curious. I've 1029 01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,040 Speaker 1: seen him all. It's just the thing they do. Man, 1030 01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,720 Speaker 1: It's like when you see him the best sea. Here's 1031 01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,919 Speaker 1: just get down, let him see it and get down. 1032 01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:02,840 Speaker 1: And they just they just don't want to rule out. 1033 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:07,480 Speaker 1: They don't want to like they have a herd mentality. Yeah, 1034 01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 1: and I don't know why I even thought about it, 1035 01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,479 Speaker 1: because I don't think I've ever heard about it. Isn't 1036 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,360 Speaker 1: like a thing that dudes do. Care ab hunting with 1037 01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:16,920 Speaker 1: the white flag. I know it from antil My. Yeah, 1038 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,800 Speaker 1: Antilop punting. It can work. I've seen it work well. 1039 01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:24,439 Speaker 1: So we tried that with a game bag. Brody picked 1040 01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,040 Speaker 1: up a drop antler, which are littering the ground around there. 1041 01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,760 Speaker 1: He picked up a drop antler and waved it. Wait, 1042 01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,760 Speaker 1: he didn't want to leave. Then he caught our win 1043 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,120 Speaker 1: and then that changed his mind about in a hurry. 1044 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,320 Speaker 1: But I like the fact that he was all on. 1045 01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,400 Speaker 1: He he was missing, he was missing out on the 1046 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,760 Speaker 1: days behind everybody else. Yeah, he was looking for his friends. 1047 01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:51,280 Speaker 1: The pilot told me. I told that about. He said, 1048 01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 1: it's a little bit unusual. You know, he he lived 1049 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:55,680 Speaker 1: his whole life. You're flying here. He says a little 1050 01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,520 Speaker 1: bit unusual that you would see a bull traveling with 1051 01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 1: no known other cariboo in the area. But he said 1052 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 1: that in his experience, Um, it's coming from his set 1053 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:12,800 Speaker 1: of experiences. It's frustrating for him to watch nature documentaries 1054 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:17,720 Speaker 1: where they are saying, like, oh, the caribou are migrating 1055 01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:23,520 Speaker 1: to X place this time of year. They go this direction, 1056 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:25,640 Speaker 1: and they all go there, and they all know to 1057 01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:30,320 Speaker 1: go there. He said that. He says that that herd 1058 01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:35,919 Speaker 1: has many places. They wind up. Some years they're up 1059 01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 1: in the White Mountain Range north of Fairbanks, the same 1060 01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:41,960 Speaker 1: herd hundreds of miles away. Some years they go an 1061 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:45,880 Speaker 1: entirely different directions. Some years for days they're going north. 1062 01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,120 Speaker 1: They're like, oh, they're going north, and then all of 1063 01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,800 Speaker 1: a sudden, for days they're going back south. Or one 1064 01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,640 Speaker 1: side of the river, theres a bunch of Cariber going east. 1065 01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:56,959 Speaker 1: Side of the river, there's a bunch of Carriber going west. 1066 01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:58,840 Speaker 1: And he said it's like he says, he has seen 1067 01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,800 Speaker 1: many times where a band of Cariboo will hold up 1068 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,600 Speaker 1: on one of those mountains where we were, get on 1069 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,439 Speaker 1: the wind blown side and spend the whole damn year there. 1070 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,280 Speaker 1: So he was saying, yeah, it's unusually saw and run 1071 01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:14,280 Speaker 1: around by yourself until you consider that there's no like 1072 01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,640 Speaker 1: absolute there's sort of like these general things. But within that, 1073 01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:21,639 Speaker 1: he said, there's so much really nearly behavior and and 1074 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,640 Speaker 1: things sort of bucking the trend. He said, it's a 1075 01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,440 Speaker 1: little bit like when he said when people speaking absolutes 1076 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,519 Speaker 1: about Cariboo movements, it's a little frustrating, but they do 1077 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,439 Speaker 1: like grate. Yeah, but he was saying that like to 1078 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,680 Speaker 1: be like, oh, they all went north. He said, it 1079 01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,920 Speaker 1: just is it's like narrative simplicity, right, You Like you 1080 01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 1: have a documentary that needs to be like, okay, we're 1081 01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 1: talking about Cariboo migration. We can't talk about all these 1082 01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,639 Speaker 1: places that are going. We don't have time. We gotta 1083 01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 1: they're going one place. Yeah, So he was saying it 1084 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,080 Speaker 1: could be that off last where every day all winter. 1085 01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 1: I think there's one bullet for whatever reason. Side just 1086 01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:01,600 Speaker 1: make a stand. Janna shot dynam label. Yeah, but he 1087 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,320 Speaker 1: was heading out. He was head its owner's head north. 1088 01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,040 Speaker 1: He was in the same direction as everybody else we 1089 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:08,840 Speaker 1: had seen. I was hunt one time on the north 1090 01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:10,639 Speaker 1: slope of the Brooks Range, right ahead of the rut, 1091 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 1: and I remember it was we were out there first 1092 01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:16,080 Speaker 1: week in October. I killed one on in October nine, 1093 01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,240 Speaker 1: and at that time of year, it's it's like the 1094 01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,920 Speaker 1: ruts coming on, and everybody says, those carribou there all 1095 01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:28,519 Speaker 1: not Oh there I go. Those caribou that are on 1096 01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:32,040 Speaker 1: the north slope of the Brooks Range tend to winter 1097 01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,040 Speaker 1: on the south slope of the Brooks Range, where they 1098 01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,760 Speaker 1: go down into the Tiger Forest and winter down there. 1099 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,760 Speaker 1: And they have on the coastal plane because it's more 1100 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:42,200 Speaker 1: wind and you can get away from the bogs and 1101 01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:46,840 Speaker 1: it's good food. Now we were waiting and we're convinced 1102 01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,960 Speaker 1: that all the caribou had left the coastal plane and 1103 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,920 Speaker 1: gone over the range because we weren't seeing ship. And 1104 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:58,400 Speaker 1: then one day here comes from miles off. I can't 1105 01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:02,120 Speaker 1: remember what it was, nine or ten bulls just like 1106 01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:09,200 Speaker 1: a laser headed towards the coastal plane. So going on 1107 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:13,040 Speaker 1: the wrong direction that quote wrong direction, but they move 1108 01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,320 Speaker 1: so much that they could they could correct and be 1109 01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, the next day turned around and recover all 1110 01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:18,880 Speaker 1: the ground. But it is I mean, you do get 1111 01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:21,679 Speaker 1: your heavy one to see these these certain things. Also 1112 01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,759 Speaker 1: something we discussed. Yeah, they said that, uh, those moose 1113 01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:31,280 Speaker 1: do winner there. He said, they particularly like those draws, 1114 01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,879 Speaker 1: those willow choked draws will lead down to the main drainage. 1115 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:36,880 Speaker 1: He said, they'll move once the snow starts piling up, 1116 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:40,439 Speaker 1: they'll move up into those kind of like right blow 1117 01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,280 Speaker 1: where we got it out. Yanni's cariboo, butcher down he's 1118 01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:46,360 Speaker 1: cariboo that head high willow. He says, they like that 1119 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:51,640 Speaker 1: stuff a lot for wintertime. It's great walking through. You know. 1120 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:57,120 Speaker 1: Try to go back to one thing about these camera guys, Well, 1121 01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:00,360 Speaker 1: can I got I got such an epic in uptually 1122 01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:06,320 Speaker 1: going on right now, We're gonna get He's at like 1123 01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:10,280 Speaker 1: probably five hundred as he's about to go over the horizon, right, 1124 01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:15,639 Speaker 1: I think that's what you're yelling numbers. But he sees us, 1125 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:17,680 Speaker 1: he comes back towards us and gets I think all 1126 01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:22,320 Speaker 1: the way maybe even under three hundred, heard something like that. 1127 01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:26,240 Speaker 1: But he's facing us the whole time, the winds kind 1128 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:30,320 Speaker 1: of blowing. I'm just not a huge like frontal guy shot, 1129 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,719 Speaker 1: especially when I'm like thinking meat. Yeah, YI was practicing 1130 01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:35,720 Speaker 1: excellent restraint because he was gonna let to carry but 1131 01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:39,000 Speaker 1: get away rather than hit in the front. Yeah. And 1132 01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:42,960 Speaker 1: then and I will not lie. This makes me kind 1133 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,679 Speaker 1: of like the trophy hunter or whatever. Had it been 1134 01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,000 Speaker 1: just like the guard gangein like monster Bull with just 1135 01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:52,680 Speaker 1: points coming off every direction, I would have taken that shot. Yea. 1136 01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:56,240 Speaker 1: So were you not shooting like on the shot place 1137 01:11:56,280 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 1: with an argument? Were you not shooting the front facing 1138 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:05,519 Speaker 1: you because you're worried about meat wastedge because you're worried 1139 01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,840 Speaker 1: about having a greatly diminished kill zone and getting the 1140 01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:12,280 Speaker 1: clean kill in such whipping and it was it was 1141 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:20,080 Speaker 1: it was brisk wind. Yeah, which one was more? I 1142 01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:21,759 Speaker 1: don't know, I mean it's one of the same. Really 1143 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:26,320 Speaker 1: wasted meat and crippling the critter. It's not the same thing. Well, 1144 01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:30,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's still like a huge negative both of them. 1145 01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:35,000 Speaker 1: You know, So you're practice incredible restraint, bad ethics. He 1146 01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:40,680 Speaker 1: was practicing good ethics. Weird shot, big antlers would have 1147 01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,800 Speaker 1: caused me to make a maybe take a little bit 1148 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:47,000 Speaker 1: more questionable shot, possibly loose some meat, possibly not have 1149 01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:50,200 Speaker 1: quite as you know, the hypercentage for a quality kill. 1150 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:52,639 Speaker 1: I feel like I could have made that shot, sure, 1151 01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,240 Speaker 1: But on that bowl, I was like not. I was 1152 01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,160 Speaker 1: like very able to like just be calm and be 1153 01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:01,360 Speaker 1: like I'm gonna get the right shot, wait for it 1154 01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,599 Speaker 1: to happen. You were just gonna let him walk. Well, 1155 01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:09,320 Speaker 1: it was very I'll continue my story. He got down 1156 01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:12,880 Speaker 1: like two or whatever, and he's like coming, he's coming, 1157 01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,040 Speaker 1: He's coming, And I thought he was almost I was like, man, 1158 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:16,760 Speaker 1: he's just gonna walk into our laps and it will 1159 01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,240 Speaker 1: be a real gimme. And then also his nose picked 1160 01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:21,960 Speaker 1: up and he got our wind and he was again 1161 01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,280 Speaker 1: heading out. It looked like he got hit by a 1162 01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,479 Speaker 1: car when that wind hit him. Yeah, so you're in 1163 01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:30,960 Speaker 1: the bottom of the valley, yeah, right, and instead of 1164 01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:32,760 Speaker 1: heading right back towards the her ezes, and he kind 1165 01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:38,080 Speaker 1: of just heads back and like a side he's traversed 1166 01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:40,400 Speaker 1: in the side of the hill instead of going, you know, 1167 01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,479 Speaker 1: just back right it towards the horizon where he could 1168 01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:45,320 Speaker 1: have quickly, you know, had he gone the same distance 1169 01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:47,760 Speaker 1: towards her eyes, and he would have disappeared. But he 1170 01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:51,400 Speaker 1: went across the hillside and uh, you gave him a 1171 01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:54,519 Speaker 1: couple of hoots and hollers. He didn't stop. I feel 1172 01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:56,960 Speaker 1: like that that that trick didn't he didn't care about 1173 01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,720 Speaker 1: that trip. Yeah, I gave him. I gave him my my, 1174 01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:08,760 Speaker 1: you try to bugle beagle Dad. I whistled bugle. He's like, hey, 1175 01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,320 Speaker 1: my distant cousins stopped and he turned Bron's side and 1176 01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:14,080 Speaker 1: you said, I don't know what you said, four oh something. 1177 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,120 Speaker 1: I remember hearing four oh. And I was like, okay, 1178 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,439 Speaker 1: I got this. I knew that my second hash down 1179 01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:23,840 Speaker 1: was roughly four yards, so I held right on and 1180 01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:31,719 Speaker 1: shot broke clean what was it went through both lungs 1181 01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:34,600 Speaker 1: and he ran down into a little fold in the 1182 01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:38,200 Speaker 1: land and disappeared. Because I thought you missed. Because I 1183 01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:41,080 Speaker 1: saw what I thought I saw. It was a proof 1184 01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:44,680 Speaker 1: of powdered rock, right, But no, I don't know if 1185 01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:46,680 Speaker 1: I might have just seen some hair come up. So 1186 01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:48,120 Speaker 1: I heard the thump like when you get a good 1187 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,200 Speaker 1: hit on an animal. Sounds like a hitting the pumpkin, 1188 01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:55,160 Speaker 1: like hitting the watermelon. It's unmistakable. Yeah, I've heard described 1189 01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,120 Speaker 1: as like a baseball bat to a wet towel that's hanging. 1190 01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:03,280 Speaker 1: That's good. A it is good. Um punch the pumpkin 1191 01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:07,200 Speaker 1: hitting the wet toil the baseball bat just like oh no, 1192 01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:10,720 Speaker 1: not like that, Like is that good? There's like a 1193 01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:19,840 Speaker 1: whap wap deeper. Yeah, there you go. No, it's like 1194 01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:28,599 Speaker 1: I heard that. Uh. And then we went over there 1195 01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:32,479 Speaker 1: and he was you you double along to him. It's 1196 01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:35,280 Speaker 1: the heart. We had to keep the harb very windy 1197 01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:39,639 Speaker 1: and cold, and we uh dug it, drug it down 1198 01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:43,640 Speaker 1: the hill and then and then proceeded to butcher it up. 1199 01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:48,800 Speaker 1: And his liver. We're going a conversation about liver. I 1200 01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:51,400 Speaker 1: had just had some very good deer liver hunting down 1201 01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:54,920 Speaker 1: the southeast, and uh, I was kind of excited to 1202 01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:58,080 Speaker 1: replicate that meal with this liver. And and the liver 1203 01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:06,360 Speaker 1: is full of spots now in kosher slaughter which is 1204 01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:12,800 Speaker 1: called um. Okay, if you're an observe if you're an 1205 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:17,880 Speaker 1: observant Jew, you would you eat kosher food non kosher food? 1206 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:21,360 Speaker 1: I think is it glad anyway? One of the things 1207 01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:24,000 Speaker 1: you do during the Kosher slaughter processes you inspect the 1208 01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:28,240 Speaker 1: animals organs because God said in the Old Testament, God says, 1209 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:34,320 Speaker 1: don't eat carrying okay, um, I mean don't eat dead. 1210 01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,479 Speaker 1: Don't eat animals you find laying around dead. Now, you 1211 01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:39,600 Speaker 1: don't know why I said that. It's not for you 1212 01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:41,200 Speaker 1: to like, it's not for you to say like, oh, 1213 01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:42,680 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it because I don't want to 1214 01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,479 Speaker 1: get sick. You don't know why I said it, But 1215 01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:47,960 Speaker 1: don't eat dead animals you see laying around. So to 1216 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,440 Speaker 1: be extra careful because a lot of that, like the interpretation, 1217 01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:53,639 Speaker 1: a lot of the rules is to be like if 1218 01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:55,679 Speaker 1: he says something like God said, don't shave the corners 1219 01:16:55,680 --> 01:17:00,880 Speaker 1: of your face in the Old Testament. Now, ultra observant 1220 01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:05,960 Speaker 1: Jews will will grow out the sideburns because they're like, well, 1221 01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,639 Speaker 1: I don't know where the corner of your face ends 1222 01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:11,280 Speaker 1: and your hair begins. So to play it ultra safe 1223 01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:15,120 Speaker 1: and to be extra careful to be observant of the law. 1224 01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:18,400 Speaker 1: I'll grow out this long thing. So God says don't 1225 01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:20,599 Speaker 1: eat carrying. They would say, well, then you better not 1226 01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:24,040 Speaker 1: eat a wounded animal. Don't eat an animal that's damaged. 1227 01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,960 Speaker 1: To be extra careful. So when you do kosher slaughter, 1228 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:32,840 Speaker 1: you inspect the organs to to look and make sure 1229 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,880 Speaker 1: there's no evidence of illness in that animal, because you're 1230 01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:41,640 Speaker 1: being extra careful to follow God's word. Now that's not 1231 01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,839 Speaker 1: why I was inspecting his liver, but I haven't. But 1232 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,400 Speaker 1: but I happen to be inspecting his liver and they 1233 01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,839 Speaker 1: had large white spots on it. Yeah, this way predates 1234 01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:57,280 Speaker 1: the FDA, but that's actually us. So I happen to 1235 01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:00,559 Speaker 1: be inspecting his liver. Notice some large whites on it. 1236 01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:05,320 Speaker 1: Yanni tries to tell me, it's some land in the creek. Well, 1237 01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:06,960 Speaker 1: it was just funny that we hadn't noticed it when 1238 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:09,200 Speaker 1: well I had noticed when I cut it out and 1239 01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:10,840 Speaker 1: then went and put it in the creek, and we 1240 01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,080 Speaker 1: talked about leaving in the creek. Washed off a little 1241 01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:14,720 Speaker 1: because my mom when I was a kid, I had 1242 01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:16,240 Speaker 1: iron poor blood and I used to eat a lot 1243 01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,320 Speaker 1: of liver and my mom would take deer liver and 1244 01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,519 Speaker 1: so cut the deer liver up and soaking lemon water 1245 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:25,160 Speaker 1: to draw the blood out. People soaking milk or water, 1246 01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:26,960 Speaker 1: various things that draw the blood out. When you throw 1247 01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:30,360 Speaker 1: you throw a liver in the creek, let me change 1248 01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:34,280 Speaker 1: its color, yeah quickly? Um So Yanni threw in his 1249 01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,479 Speaker 1: cold ass creek. And then we pulled it out and 1250 01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,400 Speaker 1: I had these things in it. Who wasn't did a 1251 01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:43,479 Speaker 1: biopsy on that liver. We cut it open. I don't 1252 01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:45,320 Speaker 1: senor know about it though. I thought it was some 1253 01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:54,160 Speaker 1: deposits a big ass parasite there. I don't real what 1254 01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,839 Speaker 1: it was, but that's what I recalled. The DNR Michigan 1255 01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:02,360 Speaker 1: biologists tell me it was some kind of parasite. He said, Tony, 1256 01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:06,040 Speaker 1: it's real waxy. Yeah, what do you do on your phone? Rick, 1257 01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking up fatty liver, which that's what I think 1258 01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,559 Speaker 1: it is. I don't think it's a parasite. Rick feels 1259 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:13,560 Speaker 1: as though, and we caught we did a biopsy on it. 1260 01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:14,960 Speaker 1: You pull out a thing the size of a p 1261 01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:17,960 Speaker 1: with an encase. It's got a case and you pulled 1262 01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:22,040 Speaker 1: out and it is just like a waxy fat inside there, 1263 01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,240 Speaker 1: whether it's a paris that are not so we uh, 1264 01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:28,719 Speaker 1: we discarded the liver. Would animals get I mean, humans 1265 01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,360 Speaker 1: do because they eat the wrong diet. Would that animal 1266 01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:35,120 Speaker 1: get that? It wouldn't occur in that way. It occurs 1267 01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:37,160 Speaker 1: just like you have like a lot of abdominal he'd 1268 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,720 Speaker 1: have like a lot of fat in his abdominal cavity, 1269 01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:43,040 Speaker 1: like kidney fat. He's not gonna wind up with balls 1270 01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,840 Speaker 1: of fat. Rick. Well, yeah, maybe that's that's what I'm 1271 01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:48,880 Speaker 1: looking like. It didn't look like a larvae. That might 1272 01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:50,840 Speaker 1: have been an agger or something. Where the hell was? 1273 01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:55,280 Speaker 1: It was good, eat, not deliver.

No, 1301 01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,200 Speaker 1: I thought we put it on the We did put 1302 01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:33,559 Speaker 1: it on schedule, ok. Yeah, So we put it on 1303 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:37,519 Speaker 1: the bone of the scapula of the moose and that 1304 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:43,280 Speaker 1: was very impressive for a field and it all tasted excellent. 1305 01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,040 Speaker 1: So for those of you who have never had any 1306 01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,479 Speaker 1: bone marrow, you gotta do it. But you had eaten 1307 01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:51,080 Speaker 1: bone marrow, Oh yeah, I've done. It was Dennison, thanks 1308 01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:55,519 Speaker 1: to you and Hank Shaw. So it's not it's not 1309 01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,679 Speaker 1: a h and I'm sure I could find a Latman 1310 01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:01,920 Speaker 1: recipe for it. I would think most European NU countries do. 1311 01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:04,960 Speaker 1: That's grand down the bone marrow in a French restaurant 1312 01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:08,000 Speaker 1: in San Francisco and I ordered that bone. I remember 1313 01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,120 Speaker 1: sitting there and I saw it. I was like, I 1314 01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,280 Speaker 1: can't this is this is many many years ago. I 1315 01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:14,599 Speaker 1: think this is you know, I'll tell you what year 1316 01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:16,679 Speaker 1: it was. It was two thousand three or two thousand four, 1317 01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 1: and sitting there and uh, there's two thousand three and 1318 01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:24,120 Speaker 1: I see bone around like I just didn't understand what 1319 01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:27,439 Speaker 1: they meant. And I order it and its discs of 1320 01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:31,720 Speaker 1: femur cut and they got each one has a sprig 1321 01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:35,040 Speaker 1: of time and a sprig of rosemary stuck in it 1322 01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:38,160 Speaker 1: with sea salt on top. And I spread some of 1323 01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,280 Speaker 1: that on some toast. And the first thing, the first 1324 01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:43,800 Speaker 1: and only thing I thought, was do you know how 1325 01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 1: many pounds of that ship I have left land in 1326 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:50,800 Speaker 1: the woods. Yeah, and most tunners should they don't know 1327 01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:54,360 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, but it does take some word white 1328 01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:56,559 Speaker 1: tailor is not a lot there. I usually say to people, 1329 01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:00,120 Speaker 1: I just say, like white bigger than a white hell. 1330 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,840 Speaker 1: It's worth your while. I think on tongue, and I 1331 01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:06,559 Speaker 1: think on marrow bones. You know, you get into an elk, 1332 01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:09,599 Speaker 1: like that's a marrow bone, a mule to your white tail. 1333 01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:13,120 Speaker 1: It's just not a lot of think about game processors 1334 01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:16,479 Speaker 1: in the West, how many pounds of that stuff? But 1335 01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:18,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that ship can't be that good for you. 1336 01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:21,840 Speaker 1: I think it's really good for you. I don't know. 1337 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:23,960 Speaker 1: If you're trying to like watch, I don't care. I 1338 01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:25,360 Speaker 1: don't pay attention to it. But if you're in a 1339 01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:28,840 Speaker 1: situation physically where you're trying to watch cholesterol and all, that, 1340 01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:32,240 Speaker 1: better than a Coca cola, I'm pretty sure is actually 1341 01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:38,840 Speaker 1: good for you. It depends on what diet is in fat. 1342 01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:42,200 Speaker 1: In these days, high fat is in so yeah. But 1343 01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 1: here's the thing I didn't change what I I eat, 1344 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,280 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna eat. I know what I feel good eating. 1345 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:50,439 Speaker 1: Now people who are like, are you used to not 1346 01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:53,040 Speaker 1: eat this and now I eat that? When you're involved 1347 01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:55,160 Speaker 1: in a fat diet, no one knows they're doing a 1348 01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:56,960 Speaker 1: fat diet while they're doing it. They only know it's 1349 01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:59,240 Speaker 1: a fat diet later. So now you got the whole 1350 01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,280 Speaker 1: damn world. You were just like red, Yeah, it's like, oh, 1351 01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,080 Speaker 1: this is what jeans look like. No, it's not what jeans. 1352 01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:10,639 Speaker 1: So it's like it's like now I was like, yeah, fat, fat, fat, 1353 01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,040 Speaker 1: Oh of course it's you know, it's healthy. But like 1354 01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:15,160 Speaker 1: a while ago, no one was doing it. They're doing 1355 01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 1: it now. All the people that change what they eat 1356 01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:20,679 Speaker 1: all the time according to what they're hearing on, whatever 1357 01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:23,760 Speaker 1: kind of media they take in, those people will in 1358 01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:27,320 Speaker 1: some amount of time move away from fat. I will 1359 01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:31,000 Speaker 1: still be consuming the same food I always eat, cause 1360 01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 1: I don't shift my food around based on what dudes 1361 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:37,040 Speaker 1: tell me. But for but most people, not most, many 1362 01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,519 Speaker 1: many people do. And and and now they'll be like, oh, 1363 01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:41,080 Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do? And then they'll be on 1364 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:42,519 Speaker 1: to some other ship and I'll be like, you should 1365 01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:45,160 Speaker 1: really be eating a ton of bread and refined sugar. 1366 01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:48,479 Speaker 1: That's actually where the science is and then and that's 1367 01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:53,040 Speaker 1: what I eat now. Yeah, No, I'm just saying, no 1368 01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:55,160 Speaker 1: one engaged in a fat diet and knows they're in 1369 01:25:55,160 --> 01:26:00,479 Speaker 1: a fat diet. Right now, there's a fat diet that 1370 01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:02,400 Speaker 1: happened to be Like Yanni, there were talking about this 1371 01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:05,120 Speaker 1: with shoes. When I used to work for Ronnie Bain 1372 01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:09,960 Speaker 1: Twinlak installations, we wore red wing boots that had a 1373 01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:12,600 Speaker 1: white flat soul on them because we did most of 1374 01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:17,040 Speaker 1: our work on concrete bear concrete floors. I the other 1375 01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:19,559 Speaker 1: day found a pair of these boots and purchased them 1376 01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:22,519 Speaker 1: because I always liked that style of boot. And Yanni 1377 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:24,479 Speaker 1: was saying, those boots and the ship right now really 1378 01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:29,720 Speaker 1: in fashion. And we're talking about when fashion comes and collides, 1379 01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:34,479 Speaker 1: like fashion comes and collides with you, like you're on 1380 01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:36,479 Speaker 1: a path and all of a sudden it's get you 1381 01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:39,960 Speaker 1: get hit by fashion. Yeah, that fashion was just where 1382 01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:43,320 Speaker 1: somebody went home and saw a pair of grandpa's little boots. 1383 01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:46,120 Speaker 1: He said, man, those mothers would look good. Why don't 1384 01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:48,920 Speaker 1: I make some money and we'll just popularize that and 1385 01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:51,479 Speaker 1: make that the new things. So fashion collided with you. 1386 01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:55,639 Speaker 1: And that's easy because stupid follows that all the time. Yeah, 1387 01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:59,599 Speaker 1: I mean look at America. I mean just oh yeah, 1388 01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:02,200 Speaker 1: that's create this and it's another stupid thing we can 1389 01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:06,360 Speaker 1: spend money on exactly. But for the bone, I feel 1390 01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:08,679 Speaker 1: like I feel like my diet has been I feel 1391 01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:12,000 Speaker 1: like the diet I eat has has fashion came and 1392 01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:14,920 Speaker 1: collided into my diet. Now they'll all go off and 1393 01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:16,960 Speaker 1: do other ship, but I'll be eating what I like 1394 01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,640 Speaker 1: to eat. For the bone marrow, there's like if you 1395 01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:25,560 Speaker 1: eat a like back and you know, before people agriculture 1396 01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:31,360 Speaker 1: and not quite poor people, but before we could go 1397 01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:34,000 Speaker 1: buy food in the grocery store, there's a legitimate reason 1398 01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:38,000 Speaker 1: to eat bone marrow because lean meat doesn't have what bone. Man, 1399 01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 1: you want to hear an interesting theory that I read 1400 01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:43,960 Speaker 1: one time. I don't know where. I don't know if 1401 01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,240 Speaker 1: this theory is fashionable anymore. Ricky might be able to 1402 01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:49,800 Speaker 1: speak to it. You're schooled up on this kind of stuff. Uh, 1403 01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:56,280 Speaker 1: when you look at the African diaspora by which hominis 1404 01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:02,200 Speaker 1: Um left Africa, of course, Neanderthals left Africa, you know, 1405 01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:04,800 Speaker 1: six years ago and had quite a long ten year 1406 01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:09,479 Speaker 1: in Europe before we showed up for Homo sapiens showed up. 1407 01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:17,120 Speaker 1: But there's a theory out there that hominids didn't leave Africa. 1408 01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:18,439 Speaker 1: Tell you if you've ever heard this, I read this, 1409 01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:20,880 Speaker 1: and I'm not I'm not weighing in on this. I'm 1410 01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:22,840 Speaker 1: just telling you about a thing I read. I find 1411 01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:25,760 Speaker 1: oftentimes people have a very hard time, Like you'll go 1412 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:30,120 Speaker 1: and tell someone about something you read and you're just saying, like, 1413 01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:32,920 Speaker 1: I read this thing. I'm telling you what I read, 1414 01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:37,000 Speaker 1: and they'll get mad at you. So you're like, they're 1415 01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:39,040 Speaker 1: like mad at you. I'm like, I can't tell are 1416 01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:41,200 Speaker 1: you mad at me that I read it? Are you 1417 01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:43,200 Speaker 1: mad at me that I'm telling you about it? Because 1418 01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:46,120 Speaker 1: I'm not claiming that it's mine. I'm just telling you 1419 01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:49,479 Speaker 1: as not a one to one right in the reading 1420 01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:53,120 Speaker 1: and the interpretation of the thing you read, well, I 1421 01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:55,200 Speaker 1: mean you might you have a pretty good memory, though 1422 01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:59,240 Speaker 1: you give For example, I'm talking about I once read 1423 01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:01,000 Speaker 1: an article thing I just told you guys about this. 1424 01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:03,719 Speaker 1: I read an article where I was saying like, were 1425 01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:08,439 Speaker 1: we to build were we to build an impenetrable wall 1426 01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:14,479 Speaker 1: between the US and Mexico? Here we go, I'm not 1427 01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,719 Speaker 1: doing any here's the problem. I'm not doing value judgment 1428 01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,799 Speaker 1: right now. But there's no way for people to listen 1429 01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:24,360 Speaker 1: to me without realizing I'm not doing value judgment because 1430 01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:26,840 Speaker 1: people have so much ship in their head that they 1431 01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:30,400 Speaker 1: need to assign value even when someone's not making value judgment. 1432 01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:32,680 Speaker 1: But there was a biologist who said, were we to 1433 01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:35,000 Speaker 1: build this impenetrable wall between the US and Mexico border, 1434 01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:42,640 Speaker 1: it would have it may have the following implications for 1435 01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:50,719 Speaker 1: migratory patterns and movements of jaguars, mountain lions, and black bears. 1436 01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:55,000 Speaker 1: So he's just saying, as we consider this idea, if 1437 01:29:55,040 --> 01:30:01,439 Speaker 1: you're interested in large carnivores and large omnivores when making 1438 01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:04,320 Speaker 1: the decision about the rights and wrongs of this, a 1439 01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:08,760 Speaker 1: set of factors to consider would be the movements of 1440 01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:15,439 Speaker 1: large rare animals. Okay, he's just throwing it out there now. 1441 01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:20,320 Speaker 1: I put this article up on social media. I put 1442 01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:26,439 Speaker 1: it up on Facebook and get bombarded with people saying, well, 1443 01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:30,599 Speaker 1: if you lost your job to a you know, but 1444 01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:33,160 Speaker 1: it's like but like, no, no, no, I wasn't saying 1445 01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:36,799 Speaker 1: that at all. I didn't write the article I'm sharing 1446 01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,439 Speaker 1: with you a collection of thoughts about a thing that's 1447 01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:44,240 Speaker 1: in the national debate, and people were attacking me for 1448 01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:47,559 Speaker 1: having drawn attention to a piece of field work done 1449 01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:50,600 Speaker 1: by someone because they couldn't keep their values out of 1450 01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:53,599 Speaker 1: it or their their world view out of it. But 1451 01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:56,280 Speaker 1: here's what I fail to see. Why did you not 1452 01:30:56,400 --> 01:31:00,240 Speaker 1: support the wall? And do it be like, yes, all 1453 01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:05,160 Speaker 1: factors included, all factors considered, including the implications for jaguars, 1454 01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:07,639 Speaker 1: mountain lions, and black beards. I still support the wall, 1455 01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:11,519 Speaker 1: and I've taken time to consider that because my people 1456 01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:13,920 Speaker 1: don't work that way. They're like, I don't want to 1457 01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,479 Speaker 1: hear about that ship because I support the wall. Who 1458 01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:21,640 Speaker 1: cares about those bears? Not even there? They're like, they're like, 1459 01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:28,479 Speaker 1: you can't say, like you can't look at the look 1460 01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:33,160 Speaker 1: at things. Well, so I'm precacing. I'm practicing my story 1461 01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:38,439 Speaker 1: because I'm not making a comment about humans and how 1462 01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:42,160 Speaker 1: our species came. I'm not telling any of that. I 1463 01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:48,439 Speaker 1: read a story where someone was positing someone was making 1464 01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:56,320 Speaker 1: a hypothesis that the human diaspora from Africa had some 1465 01:31:56,479 --> 01:32:02,439 Speaker 1: link in time with the um with the proliferation of 1466 01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:06,640 Speaker 1: saber tooth cats. Now here's why this is important to 1467 01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:11,800 Speaker 1: this theory. Saber tooth cats can't crack open bones, could 1468 01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:16,200 Speaker 1: not just tooth structure. We were talking about how wolverine 1469 01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:19,960 Speaker 1: will get in due. He'll whittle his way in there 1470 01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:22,960 Speaker 1: like a dog. You know, dog will slowly destroy a bone. 1471 01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:25,120 Speaker 1: Wolverine was gonna get in there, eventual's gonna get that 1472 01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:29,679 Speaker 1: marrow out, saying saber tooth cats, uh can make a kill, 1473 01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:32,080 Speaker 1: they eat soft tissue. They couldn't. They couldn't get into 1474 01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:35,559 Speaker 1: the bone once you had this guy was positive came 1475 01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:37,800 Speaker 1: here as a man of woman, saying that once we 1476 01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:41,280 Speaker 1: see this great proliferation of sabre tooth cats on the landscape, 1477 01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:46,080 Speaker 1: we start seeing more movements out of humans. He was 1478 01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:50,280 Speaker 1: suggesting that that there was a there was a an 1479 01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:55,559 Speaker 1: abundance of bone marrow on the landscape because people who 1480 01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:59,719 Speaker 1: were didn't have a very sophisticated tool set. Um we're 1481 01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:03,280 Speaker 1: just starting to mess around with stone tools and figuring 1482 01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:05,280 Speaker 1: out how all that ship worked. We're in knew about 1483 01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:08,679 Speaker 1: ads is and hammers and anvils and things, but weren't 1484 01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:12,479 Speaker 1: very effective at going out and killing large, dangerous animals 1485 01:33:12,479 --> 01:33:15,360 Speaker 1: with projectile points yet. And they were making a lot. 1486 01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:18,320 Speaker 1: They were making them like pre pre human human, right, 1487 01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:22,120 Speaker 1: making the lifestyle out of out of scavenging carcasses and 1488 01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:24,600 Speaker 1: cracking them open and getting and getting meryl. You know, 1489 01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:27,880 Speaker 1: it was just throwing it out there. That's something I read. 1490 01:33:28,280 --> 01:33:31,760 Speaker 1: I think that's whether's they talked about, this idea that 1491 01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:37,240 Speaker 1: early humans were scavengers. All these like sort of bipedal 1492 01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:41,000 Speaker 1: semi bipedal creatures cruised around and then they could carry 1493 01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:43,839 Speaker 1: away meat. They could like run up to a carcass, 1494 01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:46,880 Speaker 1: grab some ship, and hustle off before the big guys 1495 01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:52,439 Speaker 1: showed up before. Yeah, rain front or right now. You 1496 01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:54,960 Speaker 1: don't want to you can't fight, you don't, I mean 1497 01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:58,640 Speaker 1: you just starn't equipped to fight with other predators. But 1498 01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:03,360 Speaker 1: you can and grabbing stuff, barrows transportable, it comes to 1499 01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:06,800 Speaker 1: its own package. It's sealed, it's her medically sealed. Yeah, 1500 01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:10,920 Speaker 1: I think can that last? You know what I'm gonna start. 1501 01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:13,479 Speaker 1: I should start messing routh going and cracking open a 1502 01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:14,960 Speaker 1: bone out and then and seeing what it looks like. 1503 01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:16,960 Speaker 1: I have found old bones and fore and cracked and 1504 01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:19,360 Speaker 1: open and had it been like kind of dry it 1505 01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:21,479 Speaker 1: out and whatnot. But it'll be really interesting to take 1506 01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:24,680 Speaker 1: a shin bone and throw all the yard. I have 1507 01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:26,920 Speaker 1: to think it would last a long time, man, I 1508 01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:28,880 Speaker 1: mean a hell a lot longer than the than the 1509 01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:32,200 Speaker 1: bones a week and like seventy degree weather or longer 1510 01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:33,920 Speaker 1: and not even I can't say it would. I wouldn't 1511 01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:35,600 Speaker 1: be I can tell you wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, but 1512 01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:39,320 Speaker 1: I think if it's cool, reasonably cold out for like 1513 01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:42,439 Speaker 1: forty degrees or colder, it's solid a room. It's solid 1514 01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:45,080 Speaker 1: at room. It's a fat it's solid at room temperature. 1515 01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:50,080 Speaker 1: More than a week later, yeah, true, nine days later. Yeah, 1516 01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:55,840 Speaker 1: just laying on an air striping. You know. The best 1517 01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:58,759 Speaker 1: thing is a scapula had you know, bit some meat 1518 01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:03,479 Speaker 1: just kind of on it. But the like, oh gosh, yeah, 1519 01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:07,400 Speaker 1: I was cured. But the color, the white bone, red meat, 1520 01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:12,720 Speaker 1: blueberry bone. Marrow. Yeah, we had a scavenge. From the scavenger. 1521 01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:15,760 Speaker 1: We had to take what the wolverine left us. We 1522 01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:18,599 Speaker 1: went on to get the fevers, and the wolverine fevers. 1523 01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:22,120 Speaker 1: We had to know. It's my favorite marrowbone. I don't 1524 01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:23,599 Speaker 1: know why in the world I had never cut into 1525 01:35:23,640 --> 01:35:28,360 Speaker 1: a shin bone. Yeah, I'd watch those camp robbers climbing 1526 01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:30,360 Speaker 1: all over those things when they were up there on 1527 01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:33,519 Speaker 1: the so you know they were doing another thing on 1528 01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:36,800 Speaker 1: those bones, tooth on those capulus. That's a bright bird man, 1529 01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:39,840 Speaker 1: like the camp robbers after we So we killed a 1530 01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:42,519 Speaker 1: moose and the camp robbers were there within a couple 1531 01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:46,479 Speaker 1: of hours, not even probably an hour, and we were 1532 01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:49,120 Speaker 1: throwing bits of fat to him, and then we realized 1533 01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:53,599 Speaker 1: we were being followed. The rest of the week, we 1534 01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:56,400 Speaker 1: were being followed by camp robbers all the time. They're like, 1535 01:35:56,880 --> 01:36:00,559 Speaker 1: see those dudes, Yeah, follow those guys, man, because there's 1536 01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:08,120 Speaker 1: gonna be something. Because they called whiskey Jack Gray j 1537 01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:11,840 Speaker 1: camp robber. Yeah, Corvette. Corvette's old trappers don't like him 1538 01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:16,479 Speaker 1: because too right is that another word for him? I 1539 01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:18,799 Speaker 1: know that like you read when you read old trapper accounts, 1540 01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:21,599 Speaker 1: they really didn't like them because they would tune into 1541 01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:24,519 Speaker 1: your trap line and in all your Martin sets they 1542 01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:26,960 Speaker 1: would always be they'd harass your bait. So people were 1543 01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:28,760 Speaker 1: always pissed that when they killed the Matt Trap, the 1544 01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:31,160 Speaker 1: mad trap from Rat River, he had a couple of 1545 01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:34,400 Speaker 1: frills and whiskey Jacks in his backpack. He was feeding 1546 01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:37,920 Speaker 1: off him. Wolverines feeding off the trappers hate wolverines too. 1547 01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:39,760 Speaker 1: They do the same thing. Follow the trap line, right, 1548 01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:42,439 Speaker 1: and then they would just eat eat the stuff they 1549 01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:46,840 Speaker 1: got stuck on the trap. Kill your catch, Jhanna Senior. 1550 01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:52,439 Speaker 1: You any concluding thoughts, Oh yeah, quite a few extraordinary week, 1551 01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:59,559 Speaker 1: well two weeks basically. Uh, well, a couple of things. 1552 01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:03,519 Speaker 1: Let me start out. First of all, having just watched 1553 01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:08,240 Speaker 1: the show, having been involved with my son, just you know, 1554 01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:14,840 Speaker 1: seeing what he goes through. What does that mean? Well, 1555 01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:17,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, let me back, having talked to my son 1556 01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:23,040 Speaker 1: and you know, hearing what he does to do the show, 1557 01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:27,439 Speaker 1: and having met you in the field before doing a show, 1558 01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:31,559 Speaker 1: but now being in a show. But it's a whole 1559 01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:37,240 Speaker 1: entirely different perspective on it. It's an incredible amount of 1560 01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:40,760 Speaker 1: work that you guys, and I'm talking about everybody. It's 1561 01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:45,240 Speaker 1: not just you, it's not him, it's the camera crew, 1562 01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:50,080 Speaker 1: the field, you know, production assistance. Everybody works their asses 1563 01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:53,680 Speaker 1: off to make this show go. And I mean it 1564 01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:57,599 Speaker 1: to me. You know, everybody has kind of like their 1565 01:37:57,680 --> 01:38:01,719 Speaker 1: time and place. They're all like a well oiled wheel 1566 01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:05,679 Speaker 1: in the bigger set of wheels. It all moves together. 1567 01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:09,920 Speaker 1: You never hear anybody bitching at least hardly at all. 1568 01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:15,840 Speaker 1: Did you hear some bitching? Dude? I start feeling bad, 1569 01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:20,040 Speaker 1: Like I felt bad for Corey because I'm reminded myself 1570 01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:22,559 Speaker 1: the course you're working, and it's like we're just sitting 1571 01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:26,080 Speaker 1: in one place for several days. I started to feel 1572 01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:30,160 Speaker 1: self conscious. No, I just go in my own little world. 1573 01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:40,360 Speaker 1: People pray for the job that you just described people 1574 01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:44,080 Speaker 1: when they watch a show. I mean, like, you know, 1575 01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:47,960 Speaker 1: some of these silly reality shows are on TV. I 1576 01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:51,000 Speaker 1: don't think that those camera people have to move around 1577 01:38:51,040 --> 01:38:54,880 Speaker 1: as much. Is what I saw you guys doing this week. 1578 01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:58,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's when they say forty pounds of gear, 1579 01:38:58,080 --> 01:39:01,160 Speaker 1: they're not kidding, and that's probably more than that. And 1580 01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:04,400 Speaker 1: then you've got headsets on, and this stuff that we're 1581 01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:08,600 Speaker 1: walking over is I mean, it's either rock shale sliding 1582 01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:11,519 Speaker 1: or its moss that sinks in. And then you got 1583 01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:17,479 Speaker 1: these tussocks of grasses right very uneven, and you're watching 1584 01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:20,559 Speaker 1: somebody on the lens and you're moving across this while 1585 01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:24,599 Speaker 1: they're moving. That's a tough job. Tough job. And then 1586 01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:28,240 Speaker 1: putting the whole that entire picture together, it's an incredible 1587 01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:30,960 Speaker 1: amount of work. That's the first thing I want to say. 1588 01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:33,400 Speaker 1: So my hat's off to you guys. And then my 1589 01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:38,040 Speaker 1: hat's off to you Steve, because you add an incredible 1590 01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:42,320 Speaker 1: amount of authenticity to that show because you won't take 1591 01:39:42,360 --> 01:39:46,519 Speaker 1: anything but top tier. Man. It's like, there's no fraud 1592 01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:50,200 Speaker 1: to this show. It's like the real deal. And it 1593 01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:54,840 Speaker 1: was tough enough just walking, you know, around, hanging around you, 1594 01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:57,479 Speaker 1: but just to keep up with you. It's it's tough 1595 01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:02,920 Speaker 1: and knowing that you want that better quality show. So 1596 01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:05,800 Speaker 1: when I asked you why are you making why do 1597 01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:09,160 Speaker 1: you do meet either? Your answer was excellent. Was for 1598 01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:12,160 Speaker 1: those guys who hate TV who want to see the 1599 01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:15,519 Speaker 1: real deal. And I may be paraphrasing it, that's what 1600 01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:17,479 Speaker 1: almost you know, you get like in your mind, you're 1601 01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:21,679 Speaker 1: sort of picture who you want. Yeah, yeah, and that's 1602 01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:24,920 Speaker 1: what this show is about. And of course you know, 1603 01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:26,760 Speaker 1: I'm coming in kind of from the outside, you know, 1604 01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:30,360 Speaker 1: considering myself a experienced hunter man. Well not really, not 1605 01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:33,959 Speaker 1: when you put yourself into Alaska, because that's an entirely 1606 01:40:34,040 --> 01:40:37,599 Speaker 1: different environment. So that that, you know, I mean, there's 1607 01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:40,720 Speaker 1: a lot of environmental conditions that I had to get 1608 01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:44,920 Speaker 1: used to, like constantly having your hands cold, you know. 1609 01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:48,040 Speaker 1: I mean you do warm up, but it's you're constantly cold. 1610 01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:50,840 Speaker 1: It's just just one of those things I thought you 1611 01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:53,519 Speaker 1: were kicking ask though, Well, I thought I did. Okay 1612 01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:57,000 Speaker 1: for a guy that's you know, my age and and 1613 01:40:57,120 --> 01:41:00,320 Speaker 1: physical condition, all things considered. Yeah, I thought what I did. 1614 01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:03,680 Speaker 1: All right, crew, acknowledge that we talking a little bit 1615 01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:06,320 Speaker 1: about can you hear me? Why are you wearing it 1616 01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:14,320 Speaker 1: like that across your forehead? Because I've got a pointy head, 1617 01:41:14,439 --> 01:41:16,880 Speaker 1: And when we get into this time period of the 1618 01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:19,679 Speaker 1: podcast and it's sitting right on top, it really starts 1619 01:41:19,720 --> 01:41:24,920 Speaker 1: to keep passing with them cold. He's yeah, um, but 1620 01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:29,200 Speaker 1: no about how you really haven't camped in forty plus 1621 01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:31,479 Speaker 1: years and all of a sudden you went on a 1622 01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:35,840 Speaker 1: nine day camping forty years Where are you camping all 1623 01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:39,360 Speaker 1: those how many ever? Forty years ago? That was with 1624 01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:43,280 Speaker 1: my dad, you know, in a tent. And then we 1625 01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:45,840 Speaker 1: know this isn't car camp and this is like this, 1626 01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:48,400 Speaker 1: this is the real deal. This is the real deal. Yeah, 1627 01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:50,840 Speaker 1: I mean you're out there in the f and wilderness 1628 01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:55,479 Speaker 1: and yeah, it's it's it's cold. You were a sleeping 1629 01:41:55,520 --> 01:42:01,240 Speaker 1: about twenty seconds every you know, Hey, there's is no kidding. 1630 01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:04,080 Speaker 1: I would lay down. I could get like a third 1631 01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:08,160 Speaker 1: way through my meditation. You know, I remember my son 1632 01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:10,880 Speaker 1: waking me up, quit snore and dad that was only 1633 01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:14,439 Speaker 1: one night. What's your medic what's your meditation? Uh? That's 1634 01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:18,360 Speaker 1: for me. Well it's not okay, don't tell me yours. 1635 01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:21,160 Speaker 1: What do you mean by that I meditate? What does 1636 01:42:21,200 --> 01:42:25,760 Speaker 1: that mean? Basically? I just released everything. Just I just 1637 01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:29,840 Speaker 1: let it afist in your head. Well I do, We're gonna, yeah, 1638 01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:31,840 Speaker 1: I do. I go through a little checklist, and then 1639 01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:35,120 Speaker 1: at the end of that checklist, I basically just I 1640 01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:39,320 Speaker 1: zone out. I just go to that other place. Nothing. 1641 01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:43,880 Speaker 1: Your checklist consists of specific things that you need to 1642 01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:46,479 Speaker 1: think through, or is it that you're emptying of everything 1643 01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:48,200 Speaker 1: that comes up? Yeah, I'm not going to share that 1644 01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:49,960 Speaker 1: with you. You're gonna have to develop that on your own. 1645 01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:52,439 Speaker 1: Why can't you share with me? Because it's it's a 1646 01:42:52,479 --> 01:42:55,040 Speaker 1: personal thing. It's what I do in the other ways. 1647 01:42:55,080 --> 01:43:02,960 Speaker 1: It's the way I've developed my intuition. My actue Corey 1648 01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:04,800 Speaker 1: will tell you. I mean, I think it's a very 1649 01:43:04,840 --> 01:43:07,400 Speaker 1: personalized thing. But what is the goal? And you ask 1650 01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:12,960 Speaker 1: the goal is nothingness, to be totally nothing, to be 1651 01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:18,439 Speaker 1: totally withdrawn from everything that is around you, so from all, 1652 01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:24,519 Speaker 1: from emotion, from all, want to be just. I don't know, 1653 01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:29,920 Speaker 1: that's like the ultimate spirit that point. Are you able 1654 01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:33,000 Speaker 1: to meditate while hunting or do you meditate you've got 1655 01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:34,800 Speaker 1: to be in the dark and you're sleeping. You can. 1656 01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:38,439 Speaker 1: You can meditate any place point time. That's just darious 1657 01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:41,760 Speaker 1: levels of meditation that you can achieve. Yeah. I don't 1658 01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:43,880 Speaker 1: do anything like that, but I remember I read something 1659 01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:47,880 Speaker 1: that long ago where someone was a practitioner of meditation. 1660 01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:52,360 Speaker 1: Someone said to him, you know, I don't have time 1661 01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:56,040 Speaker 1: to meditate twenty minutes a day. He said, if you 1662 01:43:56,080 --> 01:43:58,559 Speaker 1: don't have time to meditate twenty minutes a day, you 1663 01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:01,920 Speaker 1: ought to be meditating two hours today. I totally agree, 1664 01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:04,800 Speaker 1: And basically in two minutes you can do anything that 1665 01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:08,840 Speaker 1: you need to do at the last Yeah, there's a 1666 01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:13,360 Speaker 1: lot of good stuff online. People want to check it out. 1667 01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:15,000 Speaker 1: I got no experience with it. I don't really to 1668 01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:18,240 Speaker 1: understand what it is. Well, but you're going there. I mean, 1669 01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:21,200 Speaker 1: you're on your own path, you know, and eventually things 1670 01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:22,880 Speaker 1: will come to you that will say, hey, you know 1671 01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:26,000 Speaker 1: what I gotta check this out. What I do do 1672 01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:30,200 Speaker 1: I stumbled into a Eastern practice, if you will, I 1673 01:44:30,200 --> 01:44:32,559 Speaker 1: don't know if it is or not. When I can't sleep, 1674 01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:39,400 Speaker 1: I focus very heavily on inhaling and exhaling breath. I 1675 01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:42,160 Speaker 1: just think about, okay, like air coming in coming, in coming, 1676 01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:44,080 Speaker 1: in air going out, going out going, Well, that's and 1677 01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:47,040 Speaker 1: it makes me falseleep, so goddamn fast. I don't I 1678 01:44:47,080 --> 01:44:51,479 Speaker 1: don't do yoga like my son does, but I think 1679 01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:54,640 Speaker 1: that's the ones common thing with with meditation. That's the 1680 01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:59,000 Speaker 1: simplest of all meditations, just basically concentrating on your breath, 1681 01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:03,200 Speaker 1: a little simple. So the last thing I want to 1682 01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:07,960 Speaker 1: say about you all you want the last item would 1683 01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:11,519 Speaker 1: be that having grown up in the Midwest, hunted in 1684 01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:14,200 Speaker 1: the Midwest and then in the West for big game 1685 01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:21,439 Speaker 1: elk and a lope and uhl, dear hanging out there 1686 01:45:21,479 --> 01:45:24,680 Speaker 1: is still you kind of get the feeling that you're 1687 01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:29,200 Speaker 1: hunting in a box, so yuh kind of like a 1688 01:45:29,280 --> 01:45:32,680 Speaker 1: corn flakes box. But I'm saying Midwest was definitely the 1689 01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:35,559 Speaker 1: corn flakes box. And then you go out west, it's 1690 01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:40,040 Speaker 1: a little bit bigger when you when you get to Alaska, 1691 01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:44,479 Speaker 1: it's like somebody took the top and just ripped it 1692 01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:48,000 Speaker 1: right off of that corn flakes box. And there's just 1693 01:45:48,120 --> 01:45:50,560 Speaker 1: no limit. I mean there is. You look around you 1694 01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:53,840 Speaker 1: and you go like, holy smokes man. No matter what 1695 01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:58,800 Speaker 1: direction I look in, it's this is it? Yea? And 1696 01:45:58,880 --> 01:46:01,680 Speaker 1: that took some I'm getting used to the thing that 1697 01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:04,040 Speaker 1: first struck me when I started hanging around in Alaska. 1698 01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:05,960 Speaker 1: And it was after I started hanging around in Alaska 1699 01:46:06,120 --> 01:46:10,839 Speaker 1: til my one of my older brothers, finished his schooling 1700 01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:14,559 Speaker 1: and went up there to as a biologist the first 1701 01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:17,320 Speaker 1: thing to struck me. And it still strikes me now 1702 01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:22,120 Speaker 1: as you see the size of rivers, they don't have 1703 01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:25,200 Speaker 1: roads on them because you think about like even in 1704 01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:30,600 Speaker 1: the West, there's a certain size of river, the like 1705 01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:33,240 Speaker 1: there's a threshold right where you get like a size 1706 01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:37,000 Speaker 1: of river the invariably has a road on right, right right. 1707 01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:41,320 Speaker 1: And the fact that you can have well the Yukon, 1708 01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:46,639 Speaker 1: for instance, which is a you know, drains significant portion 1709 01:46:46,680 --> 01:46:49,280 Speaker 1: of the conda, it is by all definitions, a mighty river. 1710 01:46:52,200 --> 01:46:56,559 Speaker 1: There's there's no paralleling road. Yeah. And if you imagine, 1711 01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:58,439 Speaker 1: like I used to think, like if I was king 1712 01:46:58,520 --> 01:47:02,439 Speaker 1: of the world, where my call just made. I would 1713 01:47:02,479 --> 01:47:05,880 Speaker 1: take a lot of river courses in the American West, 1714 01:47:07,120 --> 01:47:09,720 Speaker 1: and I would and I would, I would make them 1715 01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:11,439 Speaker 1: not roaded. If I was just able to act with 1716 01:47:11,479 --> 01:47:13,600 Speaker 1: im community, you know what I mean, I would say, like, 1717 01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna take this river and does that 1718 01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:16,840 Speaker 1: even road on it. We're gonna tear the road up, 1719 01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:20,000 Speaker 1: but um it will last. You have giant, mighty rivers 1720 01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:25,680 Speaker 1: that you can't there's no road to go on them, right, 1721 01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:28,439 Speaker 1: I said to the pilot today flying out, I said, 1722 01:47:28,439 --> 01:47:31,639 Speaker 1: do you think right now, still today, that there are 1723 01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:36,000 Speaker 1: populations of game animals, moose and whatnot that are living 1724 01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:40,040 Speaker 1: and dying unhunted simply because you cannot get to him? 1725 01:47:40,240 --> 01:47:45,400 Speaker 1: He said, oh, yeah, absolutely sure. Because you got a moose, 1726 01:47:45,479 --> 01:47:47,439 Speaker 1: you kill a moose, you have you are bound by 1727 01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:52,599 Speaker 1: law to move five hundred pounds of flesh out of there. 1728 01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:58,040 Speaker 1: So you either are gonna have to get a wheeled vehicle, 1729 01:47:59,400 --> 01:48:02,800 Speaker 1: or you're gonna have to get a boat, or you're 1730 01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:05,040 Speaker 1: gonna have to get fixed wing aircraft because you can't 1731 01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:08,080 Speaker 1: and you can't use the helicopter for any aspect upon it. 1732 01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:10,880 Speaker 1: You can't transport hunters, you can't transport hunting equipment. You 1733 01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:13,880 Speaker 1: can't transport meat has to be fixed wing aircraft, right 1734 01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:17,080 Speaker 1: or a horse? Did you mention a horse? Horse? So 1735 01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:21,320 Speaker 1: you need to get some form of conveyance there, or 1736 01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:24,599 Speaker 1: you're limited by what you can do on your own self. 1737 01:48:25,200 --> 01:48:28,240 Speaker 1: Yanni was just saying that tonight that this hunt that 1738 01:48:28,280 --> 01:48:31,920 Speaker 1: I experienced today probably would not have been possible except 1739 01:48:31,920 --> 01:48:36,600 Speaker 1: for a very few people. What years ago? I was 1740 01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:41,160 Speaker 1: relating to him, how Buck, now we can do these 1741 01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:44,439 Speaker 1: hunts in a week because it's so easy to get 1742 01:48:44,479 --> 01:48:48,760 Speaker 1: in get out. We're even just twenty years ago when 1743 01:48:48,760 --> 01:48:50,439 Speaker 1: you wanted to come up and do this kind of hunt, 1744 01:48:50,560 --> 01:48:53,800 Speaker 1: it was gonna take a month. You know, the old 1745 01:48:53,840 --> 01:48:56,439 Speaker 1: old guys would say that Alaska was ruined by the 1746 01:48:56,479 --> 01:49:01,040 Speaker 1: bush plane. Um Buck bow who we were talking about, 1747 01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:05,280 Speaker 1: being a moose expert, moose caller. Buck Bowden one day 1748 01:49:05,400 --> 01:49:07,960 Speaker 1: was saying to me just a couple months ago, in fact, 1749 01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:10,360 Speaker 1: I was at his place in the southern Alaska Range, 1750 01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:14,719 Speaker 1: and he was saying, you know, the really true hunting, 1751 01:49:16,479 --> 01:49:21,040 Speaker 1: the true hunt ended thirty four years ago, And I said, 1752 01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:23,800 Speaker 1: what was the true hunting? He goes, before we had 1753 01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:27,320 Speaker 1: satellite phones and stuff. He goes because back then that 1754 01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:30,679 Speaker 1: was like the exploration. You could still ride a horse 1755 01:49:32,200 --> 01:49:35,679 Speaker 1: and go in and fly in and ride a horse 1756 01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:40,679 Speaker 1: in and hunt stuff knowing and hunted in modern times, 1757 01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:45,080 Speaker 1: and he said, the sad phone ruined it because as 1758 01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:47,639 Speaker 1: a guide, we used to wave goodbye to that plane 1759 01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:50,280 Speaker 1: and it was gonna be ten days, twenty days, and 1760 01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:52,680 Speaker 1: there was no change in anything. It was when that 1761 01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:56,040 Speaker 1: plane took off, it was gone, and you had a 1762 01:49:56,080 --> 01:49:59,280 Speaker 1: rendezvous to meet that plane at a specified point in 1763 01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:02,559 Speaker 1: ten or twenty days, and then you just hunted. He said, 1764 01:50:02,600 --> 01:50:07,800 Speaker 1: Now a lot of clients get their thing and they 1765 01:50:07,840 --> 01:50:11,240 Speaker 1: can't get out of there quick enough, and they're on 1766 01:50:11,320 --> 01:50:14,439 Speaker 1: the phone. He'll even say let's go get a caribou, 1767 01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:16,720 Speaker 1: let's go look for a bear, and they're like, well, 1768 01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:18,680 Speaker 1: let's get the hell out of here. I got what 1769 01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:22,799 Speaker 1: I'm after, And he said it really started to sour 1770 01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:26,160 Speaker 1: things for him that long ago. So it's always like, 1771 01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:28,720 Speaker 1: you know, wolt from our perspective, like I guess there 1772 01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:31,000 Speaker 1: that we're like, I'll always be that I experienced the 1773 01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:34,240 Speaker 1: good old days, right, And there'll be some as yet 1774 01:50:34,360 --> 01:50:38,120 Speaker 1: undeveloped technology and then in ten years or twenty years 1775 01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:41,080 Speaker 1: I'll be sitting around saying that I had it during 1776 01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:43,360 Speaker 1: the good days and now it's all messed up because 1777 01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:46,400 Speaker 1: of unknown At least we didn't have cell phones out there. 1778 01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:49,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I can imagine one day where for some 1779 01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:54,720 Speaker 1: sort of satellite whatever, I can't send a tax can't 1780 01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:56,680 Speaker 1: make a phone call. So yeah, you can make a 1781 01:50:56,680 --> 01:50:58,439 Speaker 1: phone call on a satellite phone. But yeah, so someday 1782 01:50:58,479 --> 01:51:00,280 Speaker 1: we'll be like, man, it used to be why I 1783 01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:03,479 Speaker 1: couldn't send a you know, text messenger or whatever. You're 1784 01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:06,639 Speaker 1: making up for it tonight though, that's right, But don't 1785 01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:09,880 Speaker 1: feel bad, Rick, I can't tonight yet either. So all right, 1786 01:51:10,120 --> 01:51:14,760 Speaker 1: that's good. I'm making Yeah, I'm bouncing out though. Yeah. 1787 01:51:14,760 --> 01:51:21,040 Speaker 1: A concluding thought, he got his headset back on, right? 1788 01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:29,439 Speaker 1: Was it the wolverine think about taking the two femurs? 1789 01:51:29,560 --> 01:51:32,200 Speaker 1: My closing thought is a question. I have a theory 1790 01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:35,880 Speaker 1: about this. Did he take the two femurs or was 1791 01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:39,160 Speaker 1: it just coincidence and or randomness? I think you could 1792 01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:43,680 Speaker 1: move those front legs because of the shoulder blades just 1793 01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:46,200 Speaker 1: too damn big with that scapula and everything. That's my theory. 1794 01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:49,080 Speaker 1: He's got four legs. I should call my brother who 1795 01:51:49,080 --> 01:51:51,240 Speaker 1: does a lot of statistics work through work for work. 1796 01:51:52,360 --> 01:51:55,080 Speaker 1: What are the chances if you have four objects? Rick 1797 01:51:55,240 --> 01:51:58,760 Speaker 1: Ricker Bill hear this out? What are the chances that 1798 01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:03,160 Speaker 1: he grabbed the two back legs? What are the odds 1799 01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:05,320 Speaker 1: you have four objects? What are the odds that two 1800 01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:08,360 Speaker 1: of them, two specified ones get picked? I don't know. 1801 01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:10,719 Speaker 1: What are your combinations? One you can grab one front, 1802 01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:17,879 Speaker 1: one back, two fronts or two backs? Yes, there's only three. 1803 01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:21,760 Speaker 1: You have two a's and two bees, and someone has 1804 01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:24,120 Speaker 1: two picks and they happen to grab two bees. What 1805 01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:28,519 Speaker 1: are the odds that they're gonna grab two? Aren't bad odd? 1806 01:52:28,640 --> 01:52:30,840 Speaker 1: Is it? But you're not talking about a human being, 1807 01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:32,519 Speaker 1: You're talking about an animal. You know, you trip me 1808 01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:35,479 Speaker 1: up about statistics. That was still the same probability, right, 1809 01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:38,120 Speaker 1: I mean, if it was random, I'm saying, I don't think. 1810 01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:41,839 Speaker 1: In my mind, I haven't thought, oh it was randomness. 1811 01:52:41,840 --> 01:52:44,080 Speaker 1: But here's nothing my brother talks about oftentimes because he's 1812 01:52:44,120 --> 01:52:48,200 Speaker 1: very involved in you probabilities that we find patterns. He 1813 01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:51,680 Speaker 1: thinks fly fishermen are fishermen, not fly fishermen are more 1814 01:52:51,720 --> 01:52:55,360 Speaker 1: guilty of this than most. We see patterns where no 1815 01:52:55,400 --> 01:53:00,439 Speaker 1: pattern exists. Oh, they were coming on Shard Truce and 1816 01:53:00,439 --> 01:53:02,479 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they were coming on Olive. 1817 01:53:04,960 --> 01:53:06,680 Speaker 1: He's like, I think that it has a lot to 1818 01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:09,720 Speaker 1: do with coincidence and what was going on, and like 1819 01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:12,439 Speaker 1: maybe one of you you were running three different things 1820 01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:14,880 Speaker 1: and some guy cast at Chartreuss and someone caught one 1821 01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:17,920 Speaker 1: on and then everybody put a Chartruss on and later 1822 01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:21,240 Speaker 1: appeared as though Chartruss. But you know, it's the classic 1823 01:53:21,280 --> 01:53:26,360 Speaker 1: correlation causation issue. It's rampant. But with the wolverine, I 1824 01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:30,320 Speaker 1: feel that I just might drive him nuts were he 1825 01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:33,760 Speaker 1: here right now. I feel as though there's something about that. 1826 01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:35,560 Speaker 1: It was easy to drag those back legs off, and 1827 01:53:35,600 --> 01:53:38,080 Speaker 1: the capitoles were hard to manage. I don't know. Maybe 1828 01:53:38,120 --> 01:53:40,200 Speaker 1: they taste yeah, maybe they taste better. And that's what 1829 01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:43,599 Speaker 1: John he was driving at. But oh yeah, he's thinking 1830 01:53:43,640 --> 01:53:48,320 Speaker 1: there's more more. He's handled enough carcasses to know what's 1831 01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:52,000 Speaker 1: got the goods? Were they too closest bones? What was 1832 01:53:52,080 --> 01:53:54,680 Speaker 1: interesting about because BRONI and I went and looked for 1833 01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:57,439 Speaker 1: it for him one last time last night, right at dusk, 1834 01:53:57,840 --> 01:54:01,800 Speaker 1: and I pulled that high over that carcass that hide 1835 01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:05,880 Speaker 1: was still pulled over the rib ken. He so he 1836 01:54:05,920 --> 01:54:09,320 Speaker 1: hadn't gone through the pain to go do that, to 1837 01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:12,400 Speaker 1: dig inside there too. For whatever reason, he's like, no, 1838 01:54:12,520 --> 01:54:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm taking these four lower legs and I'm gonna go 1839 01:54:16,200 --> 01:54:20,919 Speaker 1: stash him. I think, and this again me, I'm not anthropomorphizing, 1840 01:54:21,040 --> 01:54:25,479 Speaker 1: but I'm I think that when when a critic like 1841 01:54:25,560 --> 01:54:30,479 Speaker 1: that shows up, I think that he, through experience, knows 1842 01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:32,920 Speaker 1: that a bigger bed or something's gonna show up the 1843 01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:35,400 Speaker 1: same way like a gray j they're the first of 1844 01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:38,040 Speaker 1: the carcass. They get displaced, no doubt by the ravens. 1845 01:54:39,040 --> 01:54:42,160 Speaker 1: The ravens are gonna get displaced. The ravens we saw 1846 01:54:42,440 --> 01:54:47,080 Speaker 1: get displaced by the wolverine. The wolverine has to know 1847 01:54:47,280 --> 01:54:50,920 Speaker 1: from experience that when you find something, a very good 1848 01:54:50,920 --> 01:54:53,440 Speaker 1: approach is to get that ship out of there before 1849 01:54:53,440 --> 01:54:58,560 Speaker 1: the grizzly shows up. So they're known to every now 1850 01:54:58,600 --> 01:55:01,600 Speaker 1: and then. Yeah, but I'm sure are like like the 1851 01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:05,000 Speaker 1: fact that he was dragging it way across the hillside 1852 01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:08,000 Speaker 1: down into wherever he was dragging it. He was getting 1853 01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:11,720 Speaker 1: it away from something. Sure, and we know that that 1854 01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:14,200 Speaker 1: he was dragging I know that he was dragging it, 1855 01:55:14,200 --> 01:55:18,560 Speaker 1: but we saw him dragging parts off. So I don't know. 1856 01:55:18,600 --> 01:55:20,960 Speaker 1: I'm just like I'm trying as I try to make 1857 01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:23,600 Speaker 1: sense out of other things I observed in a somewhat 1858 01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:26,880 Speaker 1: unscientific fashion, informed maybe by some amount of science. I 1859 01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:28,760 Speaker 1: feel like there's something like that going on. It just 1860 01:55:28,840 --> 01:55:32,360 Speaker 1: happens that when I saw the other wolverine that I 1861 01:55:32,400 --> 01:55:39,320 Speaker 1: saw four years ago, and he was doing the same thing, 1862 01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:44,760 Speaker 1: he was cashing parts off caribou kills. Was there any 1863 01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:48,640 Speaker 1: rhyme for reason why he was hauling away? No. The 1864 01:55:48,680 --> 01:55:50,760 Speaker 1: first thing I saw him hauling away, which just like 1865 01:55:50,960 --> 01:55:52,960 Speaker 1: before I get my spot and scope on him, I 1866 01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:54,680 Speaker 1: could not, for the life of me figure out what 1867 01:55:54,720 --> 01:55:57,000 Speaker 1: animal was looking at because he was hauling away a 1868 01:55:57,120 --> 01:56:00,200 Speaker 1: whole half a neck and a whole head of a 1869 01:56:00,200 --> 01:56:02,720 Speaker 1: cow cariboo that still had you know, her antlers on 1870 01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:06,280 Speaker 1: her head. You see that dragon along the ground. No, 1871 01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:10,440 Speaker 1: I mean, this dude was like just moving and I'm 1872 01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:12,560 Speaker 1: looking at it, and I just could not, like, because 1873 01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:15,480 Speaker 1: you're seeing white, you're seeing antler and just like you're 1874 01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:18,920 Speaker 1: just like running through the species in your head. Yeah, 1875 01:56:19,040 --> 01:56:21,080 Speaker 1: and you know black animal in the snow and it 1876 01:56:21,240 --> 01:56:26,320 Speaker 1: wasn't Yeah, exactly, pretty much like this weird jack little thing. 1877 01:56:26,600 --> 01:56:28,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, finally that spot ands go bind. I'm like, 1878 01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:33,080 Speaker 1: oh Wolverin hearing ahead, Sure, why did I think of that? 1879 01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:36,240 Speaker 1: And we watched him for you know, we're probably watched 1880 01:56:36,280 --> 01:56:38,440 Speaker 1: him make four or five trips. He would go into 1881 01:56:38,480 --> 01:56:41,000 Speaker 1: like this kind of a draw that later we skied 1882 01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:42,920 Speaker 1: by it and you could see kind of had like 1883 01:56:42,640 --> 01:56:45,280 Speaker 1: a crevasse almost, you know, kind of he had like 1884 01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:48,440 Speaker 1: a little stat like just a dark hole that he 1885 01:56:48,520 --> 01:56:51,120 Speaker 1: was going down into, and we watched him make four 1886 01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:54,360 Speaker 1: or five trips putting cariboo parts in there. This is 1887 01:56:54,440 --> 01:57:00,320 Speaker 1: up around the Arctic Circle. Yeah, north Arctic Circle, um, 1888 01:57:00,520 --> 01:57:05,120 Speaker 1: north side of the Brooks Range south and north north. Uh. 1889 01:57:06,920 --> 01:57:09,480 Speaker 1: Is that your concluding thought? Yeah, that's a good addition 1890 01:57:09,560 --> 01:57:14,720 Speaker 1: to the story, Corey. Uh, since we I think it's 1891 01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:18,960 Speaker 1: just just fake. Sorry it's late, but we just finished 1892 01:57:19,040 --> 01:57:21,880 Speaker 1: up a father's son meat either. It's just a good 1893 01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:27,160 Speaker 1: reminder I think that I take for granted your loved 1894 01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:30,280 Speaker 1: ones or your family members, and you know, set aside 1895 01:57:30,320 --> 01:57:32,920 Speaker 1: some time and you're busy schedules, maybe to go do 1896 01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:36,400 Speaker 1: an adventure with them, or you know, just get out 1897 01:57:36,400 --> 01:57:41,040 Speaker 1: there and enjoy each other's company while you can that's 1898 01:57:42,440 --> 01:57:44,080 Speaker 1: I thought about that a lot. I think about a 1899 01:57:44,080 --> 01:57:45,480 Speaker 1: lot of I think about my father a lot all 1900 01:57:45,520 --> 01:57:47,400 Speaker 1: the time. I thought about like how much he would 1901 01:57:47,400 --> 01:57:51,080 Speaker 1: have enjoyed a trip like that. Yeah. No, I heard 1902 01:57:51,080 --> 01:57:54,120 Speaker 1: it once in a hunting camp reaction in Mexico guiden 1903 01:57:54,200 --> 01:57:56,960 Speaker 1: cous deer and there's a father son combo there and 1904 01:57:57,000 --> 01:57:58,760 Speaker 1: they said one of the biggest reasons they like to 1905 01:57:58,760 --> 01:58:02,640 Speaker 1: go hunting together was for the windshield time. Because when 1906 01:58:02,640 --> 01:58:05,200 Speaker 1: they're on the hunt, they're like pretty hard, they're hardcore 1907 01:58:05,280 --> 01:58:07,920 Speaker 1: hunters and their hunt, but they're like, yeah, we always 1908 01:58:07,960 --> 01:58:11,200 Speaker 1: drive everywhere, So there's like this time, this time period 1909 01:58:11,240 --> 01:58:13,160 Speaker 1: with it that they don't have in their lives anymore, 1910 01:58:13,320 --> 01:58:16,600 Speaker 1: without kids and wives and life and work and stuff 1911 01:58:16,640 --> 01:58:18,560 Speaker 1: going on. So they get to get in the truck 1912 01:58:18,600 --> 01:58:23,000 Speaker 1: together and drive six or twelve or two days time 1913 01:58:24,160 --> 01:58:28,080 Speaker 1: and have winshow time and just get to talk. Yeah. Yeah, hunting. 1914 01:58:28,240 --> 01:58:32,000 Speaker 1: I mean for me and my father, it's it created 1915 01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:34,960 Speaker 1: this situation last ten fifteen years where we spent time 1916 01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:38,320 Speaker 1: together where that we wouldn't have otherwise. You know, best 1917 01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:42,280 Speaker 1: hunt I was ever on was when he shot that, 1918 01:58:43,960 --> 01:58:47,080 Speaker 1: and nothing I've ever s like, no hunt I've ever 1919 01:58:47,080 --> 01:58:52,120 Speaker 1: been been on is compared to that. You know, Well, 1920 01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:54,640 Speaker 1: that's true because I now kind of every year we 1921 01:58:54,680 --> 01:58:56,920 Speaker 1: tried to get up to Wisconsin and I have a 1922 01:58:56,960 --> 01:59:01,160 Speaker 1: turkey hunt. I do with both my sons and other people, 1923 01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:04,920 Speaker 1: but primarily with them, and it's yeah, it's enjoyable time. 1924 01:59:06,440 --> 01:59:08,600 Speaker 1: And they're you know, it's not like they're little kids anymore. 1925 01:59:09,400 --> 01:59:14,120 Speaker 1: I'm learning it's valuable, especially that it's different when you're 1926 01:59:14,440 --> 01:59:16,760 Speaker 1: when you're both adults. You know, it's not like dad 1927 01:59:16,800 --> 01:59:21,000 Speaker 1: taking the twelve year old right now. It's right. Yeah, 1928 01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:25,480 Speaker 1: maybe thinks that's that's the problem is I never got 1929 01:59:25,720 --> 01:59:27,880 Speaker 1: with my own with my own dad. I never got 1930 01:59:27,960 --> 01:59:30,280 Speaker 1: beyond that point like I got to be the age, 1931 01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, and then we moved like we just moved away. 1932 01:59:33,480 --> 01:59:36,160 Speaker 1: So I never had like, uh, I never took the 1933 01:59:36,200 --> 01:59:39,320 Speaker 1: time really except for like hunting rabbits and small game 1934 01:59:39,360 --> 01:59:42,280 Speaker 1: for five six hours. Never took the time to go 1935 01:59:42,360 --> 01:59:45,120 Speaker 1: out like as adults. Then he died. We'll just hanging 1936 01:59:45,120 --> 01:59:47,000 Speaker 1: out with Joannie Senior. We'll give you some more of 1937 01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:53,080 Speaker 1: this good, right. I mean there's two two things. One 1938 01:59:53,360 --> 01:59:56,000 Speaker 1: I mean, as a non hunter, I've really enjoyed getting 1939 01:59:56,040 --> 01:59:59,920 Speaker 1: to hang out with the like, I don't know, hunting 1940 02:00:00,080 --> 02:00:05,520 Speaker 1: cultured humans like progressive hunters that are getting after it, 1941 02:00:05,640 --> 02:00:10,840 Speaker 1: and I feel like doing it in a way that's, um, 1942 02:00:11,320 --> 02:00:14,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, I can see myself pursuing hunting in 1943 02:00:14,600 --> 02:00:17,960 Speaker 1: a way that I haven't before. And one just mostly 1944 02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:26,640 Speaker 1: wolves and wolverines totally all the Yeah, and omnivorce. Yeah, 1945 02:00:26,680 --> 02:00:30,080 Speaker 1: let's not about the omnivorce. Um No, But I just 1946 02:00:30,200 --> 02:00:32,320 Speaker 1: I do look forward to that point where I'm gonna, 1947 02:00:32,760 --> 02:00:35,600 Speaker 1: i don't know, kill kill something and eat it and 1948 02:00:35,640 --> 02:00:39,960 Speaker 1: cook it up. And it's just it's such a cool process, 1949 02:00:40,800 --> 02:00:43,480 Speaker 1: um to be a part of. So that's that's on 1950 02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:48,000 Speaker 1: the one hand. And then ye, you still talk to him. Yeah, yeah, 1951 02:00:48,280 --> 02:00:51,240 Speaker 1: he would. He would have not wanted to hike around. 1952 02:00:51,320 --> 02:00:53,760 Speaker 1: He would have he would have been camp cook. Yeah, 1953 02:00:53,800 --> 02:00:55,640 Speaker 1: he would have been happy to cook up some good stuff, 1954 02:00:55,680 --> 02:00:58,160 Speaker 1: put some butter on some bone marrow. He would have 1955 02:00:58,200 --> 02:01:00,800 Speaker 1: loved that. But he would have but he would have 1956 02:01:01,080 --> 02:01:04,720 Speaker 1: not really wanted to hike around. Yeah, I mean he 1957 02:01:04,760 --> 02:01:09,640 Speaker 1: would have done it maybe, But that being said, the 1958 02:01:09,680 --> 02:01:14,080 Speaker 1: other thing was the Latvian part of this episode, Like 1959 02:01:15,120 --> 02:01:17,520 Speaker 1: I mean we sort of like joke about it when 1960 02:01:17,520 --> 02:01:19,560 Speaker 1: you guys are. I mean, I'm listening to your audio 1961 02:01:19,960 --> 02:01:24,839 Speaker 1: all the time, and so no, well, when they're on camera, 1962 02:01:25,040 --> 02:01:29,080 Speaker 1: the Jans when they're on camera would speak English, but 1963 02:01:29,200 --> 02:01:32,480 Speaker 1: as soon as soon as they walked off almost always 1964 02:01:32,920 --> 02:01:36,320 Speaker 1: just bust right into Latvian. And to listen to that, 1965 02:01:36,400 --> 02:01:38,680 Speaker 1: it's just like, I don't know if there's something fulfilling 1966 02:01:38,760 --> 02:01:45,720 Speaker 1: about um, about a culture that has kind of maintained 1967 02:01:46,160 --> 02:01:53,120 Speaker 1: its language. And I mean Janice Jr. Yanka, I mean, 1968 02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:56,000 Speaker 1: he was born in the States, his dad was born 1969 02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:00,920 Speaker 1: in the States, but still speaks Fian And I think 1970 02:02:01,720 --> 02:02:05,760 Speaker 1: that that seems rare that that would still that would happen, right. 1971 02:02:05,920 --> 02:02:10,640 Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of second generation immigrants sort 1972 02:02:10,680 --> 02:02:15,760 Speaker 1: of uh have a really tough relationship with their um 1973 02:02:15,920 --> 02:02:20,960 Speaker 1: first language. I think just because of trying to assimilate uh. 1974 02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:25,160 Speaker 1: So to see to see Yanka and kind of embrace 1975 02:02:25,560 --> 02:02:29,560 Speaker 1: speaking Latvian, it's just it's I feel like I'm jealous 1976 02:02:29,600 --> 02:02:32,240 Speaker 1: in some ways. It's such a cool thing to be 1977 02:02:32,280 --> 02:02:35,880 Speaker 1: able to have your your guy's own like I don't know, 1978 02:02:36,240 --> 02:02:44,840 Speaker 1: a little incret, secret, freaking coded, ancient, unrelated language. It's 1979 02:02:44,920 --> 02:02:46,960 Speaker 1: weird to listen to because they'll be doing their thing 1980 02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:49,560 Speaker 1: and then like an English word will pop up in 1981 02:02:49,600 --> 02:02:51,800 Speaker 1: the middle of a sentence and it just sounds wrong. 1982 02:02:52,880 --> 02:03:02,520 Speaker 1: Copy and then Latin. Yeah, yeah, so I just enjoyed. 1983 02:03:02,560 --> 02:03:05,360 Speaker 1: I didn't enjoyed the whole The whole deal was good. 1984 02:03:05,720 --> 02:03:08,480 Speaker 1: What was the charm you were given? Steve? Oh? Yeah, 1985 02:03:08,520 --> 02:03:11,240 Speaker 1: can you tell that that secret charm? Well, it's not 1986 02:03:11,320 --> 02:03:14,440 Speaker 1: a secret charm, it's just a well known charm. It's 1987 02:03:14,480 --> 02:03:17,640 Speaker 1: actually or whatever it is. I didn't tell you the 1988 02:03:17,680 --> 02:03:19,800 Speaker 1: full story. I thought. I didn't want to spoil it 1989 02:03:19,840 --> 02:03:22,120 Speaker 1: for just don't tell a story. Just blessed this here 1990 02:03:22,160 --> 02:03:25,160 Speaker 1: beer bottle or not blessed, but whatever it was, And 1991 02:03:25,360 --> 02:03:27,600 Speaker 1: I can't do that with a beer bottle, not the 1992 02:03:28,160 --> 02:03:30,960 Speaker 1: it's it's the mystique. Could you tell people? Would you 1993 02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:35,360 Speaker 1: mind telling listeners what it was? The incant whatever? Yeah? 1994 02:03:35,360 --> 02:03:38,920 Speaker 1: I just the words you uttered when when when giving 1995 02:03:38,960 --> 02:03:42,000 Speaker 1: my when setting things in moment. But I have to 1996 02:03:42,040 --> 02:03:43,600 Speaker 1: do the whole thing. But I have to tell you 1997 02:03:43,680 --> 02:03:46,800 Speaker 1: this what it is that I told? Yeah, I will, 1998 02:03:46,840 --> 02:03:51,520 Speaker 1: I will know. So this incantation is nothing more than 1999 02:03:51,560 --> 02:03:56,040 Speaker 1: a little ditty that you use with small children that 2000 02:03:56,160 --> 02:04:00,240 Speaker 1: when you're deciding which one is it. So it was like, 2001 02:04:00,600 --> 02:04:12,920 Speaker 1: thank good dank coold really do bricks. So now you 2002 02:04:12,960 --> 02:04:19,080 Speaker 1: because I mean believer out of you for that moment, 2003 02:04:19,200 --> 02:04:26,240 Speaker 1: I changed your acceptance of that and you you believed it. 2004 02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:28,760 Speaker 1: You were right there, man, because you have you do 2005 02:04:28,760 --> 02:04:37,440 Speaker 1: it twice. You remember when he said did you crosswater? 2006 02:04:37,560 --> 02:04:41,160 Speaker 1: You're like, He's like, oh God, you crosswater right washed 2007 02:04:41,200 --> 02:04:45,640 Speaker 1: it away. So I don't care. You want to you 2008 02:04:45,640 --> 02:04:47,360 Speaker 1: want to put that. I mean there's a lot of 2009 02:04:48,800 --> 02:04:51,800 Speaker 1: in that context. You get it. So if I make 2010 02:04:51,840 --> 02:04:53,280 Speaker 1: a book and say this is the book of you, 2011 02:04:53,320 --> 02:04:55,080 Speaker 1: honest man, this is the way you gotta do it. 2012 02:04:55,760 --> 02:04:58,040 Speaker 1: If you're a believer, you're gonna do it that way, 2013 02:04:58,560 --> 02:05:06,880 Speaker 1: i'd priority concluding thoughts. Yeah, obviously this whole things about Alaska. 2014 02:05:07,800 --> 02:05:10,320 Speaker 1: And when people talk about Alaska, they talk about it 2015 02:05:10,360 --> 02:05:16,360 Speaker 1: as this like all encompassing, like umbrella kind of word. 2016 02:05:17,200 --> 02:05:20,720 Speaker 1: And my experience with Alaska up until this point was 2017 02:05:20,800 --> 02:05:24,680 Speaker 1: at your cabin in southeast Alaska, which couldn't be more 2018 02:05:24,880 --> 02:05:29,800 Speaker 1: different from where we were in the Alaska Range. And 2019 02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:33,080 Speaker 1: like it's almost a disservice to say I went to 2020 02:05:33,160 --> 02:05:35,720 Speaker 1: Alaska because people just get whatever they're gonna get in 2021 02:05:35,760 --> 02:05:40,280 Speaker 1: their heads. Some some nature documentary about Denali or whatever. 2022 02:05:40,320 --> 02:05:45,480 Speaker 1: And Alaska has like I don't know how many, like 2023 02:05:45,640 --> 02:05:53,120 Speaker 1: Southeast Alaska, Interior Alaska, Arctic Alaska, and it's just big. Yeah. 2024 02:05:53,800 --> 02:05:57,920 Speaker 1: And so it's so different to the Yeah, and it 2025 02:05:58,040 --> 02:06:02,040 Speaker 1: was amazing to see that that different friends experience. It 2026 02:06:02,080 --> 02:06:05,440 Speaker 1: makes you want to see different more different places going Alaska. 2027 02:06:06,280 --> 02:06:10,360 Speaker 1: Do you had a good time? Hell? Yeah, Yeah, it 2028 02:06:10,480 --> 02:06:15,960 Speaker 1: was impressive, even though you know he passed up on 2029 02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:23,840 Speaker 1: all three times. Uh My concluding thought it kind of 2030 02:06:23,840 --> 02:06:25,360 Speaker 1: has to do with fathers and sons. We just talked 2031 02:06:25,360 --> 02:06:27,080 Speaker 1: about this R day and I can't get it out 2032 02:06:27,080 --> 02:06:29,080 Speaker 1: of my head. It's not something that I came up with. 2033 02:06:29,120 --> 02:06:32,440 Speaker 1: But mo Um, who we work with quite a bit 2034 02:06:32,480 --> 02:06:37,160 Speaker 1: over the years, was was talking about having kids and 2035 02:06:37,200 --> 02:06:41,200 Speaker 1: he was saying that how when you have kids, and 2036 02:06:41,200 --> 02:06:44,680 Speaker 1: he has young kids, they're my kids ages. He's like, 2037 02:06:45,080 --> 02:06:47,720 Speaker 1: when you have kids, all you wish upon them is 2038 02:06:47,760 --> 02:06:52,840 Speaker 1: that they'd be happy, you know, and you don't, like 2039 02:06:52,880 --> 02:06:54,520 Speaker 1: he said, he was talking about how you don't spell 2040 02:06:54,560 --> 02:06:57,200 Speaker 1: it out. You don't spell out like oh I wanted to, 2041 02:06:57,240 --> 02:06:58,920 Speaker 1: you know. He's just like, no, just it's just that, 2042 02:06:59,040 --> 02:07:02,040 Speaker 1: like that's all I is one gonna be happy whatever 2043 02:07:02,080 --> 02:07:05,640 Speaker 1: that means for them, you know, and then later in life, 2044 02:07:06,800 --> 02:07:08,200 Speaker 1: you know, later life, when you're when you're looking at 2045 02:07:08,200 --> 02:07:11,360 Speaker 1: your own life, you get into all these specifics, like 2046 02:07:11,480 --> 02:07:13,800 Speaker 1: you want if you don't want this truck, I want 2047 02:07:13,840 --> 02:07:17,840 Speaker 1: this house, all these specific things you want, and you 2048 02:07:17,880 --> 02:07:20,240 Speaker 1: lose started that original idea that you would have upon 2049 02:07:20,320 --> 02:07:21,800 Speaker 1: your own children, be like, oh, I just want them 2050 02:07:21,800 --> 02:07:25,320 Speaker 1: to be happy. It's just you don't talk about you 2051 02:07:25,320 --> 02:07:28,000 Speaker 1: don't use that term anymore. You know, you're something like 2052 02:07:28,080 --> 02:07:31,160 Speaker 1: things that will write. But you're saying that now that 2053 02:07:31,240 --> 02:07:32,880 Speaker 1: he knows, that's just the side note to where he's 2054 02:07:32,920 --> 02:07:34,760 Speaker 1: the point he's making with me that's really stuck with me. 2055 02:07:35,240 --> 02:07:38,840 Speaker 1: You're saying that now that he has kids and he 2056 02:07:38,920 --> 02:07:42,600 Speaker 1: knows how badly he wants his kids to just be happy, 2057 02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:48,840 Speaker 1: He's like, oh, now I understand how my parents must 2058 02:07:48,840 --> 02:07:52,480 Speaker 1: have felt, right. They must have just looked at me 2059 02:07:53,560 --> 02:07:56,080 Speaker 1: and all they ever wanted was for me to be happy. 2060 02:07:56,960 --> 02:07:58,680 Speaker 1: And he was saying, and now I'm at a point 2061 02:07:58,680 --> 02:08:03,320 Speaker 1: in life we're I am. It's like, and I'm gonna 2062 02:08:03,360 --> 02:08:05,800 Speaker 1: make a point to go and say, you know what, 2063 02:08:07,400 --> 02:08:10,360 Speaker 1: I'm happy because now that I'm a parent, I realized 2064 02:08:10,400 --> 02:08:14,080 Speaker 1: how much that probably means to you, you know, got 2065 02:08:14,080 --> 02:08:18,320 Speaker 1: it because it's an interesting observation. He's like, that's the 2066 02:08:18,440 --> 02:08:20,840 Speaker 1: least I could do for my parents is to let 2067 02:08:20,880 --> 02:08:23,960 Speaker 1: them know that the thing they obsessed over all through 2068 02:08:23,960 --> 02:08:27,080 Speaker 1: bringing me up has come true. It's like they did it, 2069 02:08:27,480 --> 02:08:29,920 Speaker 1: you know. So you bring up an interesting questions and 2070 02:08:30,240 --> 02:08:33,280 Speaker 1: that question is very obvious to me. Did your father 2071 02:08:33,560 --> 02:08:38,680 Speaker 1: ever know about your finding your happiness right? And that's 2072 02:08:38,720 --> 02:08:41,320 Speaker 1: probably your biggest regret is that, Yeah, I have a 2073 02:08:41,320 --> 02:08:44,560 Speaker 1: million regrets, man, millions of No, it's probably not a million, 2074 02:08:44,560 --> 02:08:48,600 Speaker 1: but I had a shipload of regrets. Uh No, because 2075 02:08:48,600 --> 02:08:51,920 Speaker 1: I wasn't I was. I was in Um I took 2076 02:08:53,560 --> 02:08:57,360 Speaker 1: at that period, I had in my head something I 2077 02:08:57,400 --> 02:09:00,800 Speaker 1: wanted to do and it and it was it seemed 2078 02:09:00,920 --> 02:09:03,920 Speaker 1: like a moon shot. It seemed impossible. So I think 2079 02:09:03,960 --> 02:09:08,440 Speaker 1: he saw me. Um, he definitely saw me struggling towards 2080 02:09:08,480 --> 02:09:12,080 Speaker 1: something that was that I thought was impossible, and he 2081 02:09:12,240 --> 02:09:14,360 Speaker 1: was very encouraging that I go and do it. Never 2082 02:09:14,360 --> 02:09:19,600 Speaker 1: put anything oh my parents, listen, that's good. My mom, 2083 02:09:19,880 --> 02:09:23,000 Speaker 1: uh my mom. My dad never laid any bullshit on 2084 02:09:23,080 --> 02:09:26,240 Speaker 1: any of us about you need to do this and 2085 02:09:26,280 --> 02:09:28,640 Speaker 1: you need to do that. And that's you're just dreaming 2086 02:09:29,400 --> 02:09:34,120 Speaker 1: and that's not how the real nothing like that.
