25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: Did you know that bears in Minnesota have the largest

26
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: in the expanding ranges between the eastern deciduous forests and

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: the and the and the Great Plains. Minnesota black bears

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 2: have the largest documented home ranges of any bears in

29
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,360

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 4: Black bears, I.

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: Don't know that, but I believe that there's some there's

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: some boers that have four hundred square mile home ranges.

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,280

Speaker 5: getting ring cameras and all these next door Facebook things

37
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 5: pages and stuff like that, the amount of awareness of

38
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 5: black bear's just general population stuff went through the roof crazy.

39
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,919

00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: you excited about?

66
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 4: I'm excited.

67
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 6: I'm getting ready for a big hunt in Northern Canada

68
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 6: and Manitoba in September. Just finished the project just about

69
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 6: a month ago in Kansas on some decoy decoy dog

70
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 6: stuff with coats. Now getting ready to go on this

71
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 6: this moose hunt. Absolute dream hunt for me archery moose hunt,

72
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 6: but I'm may I may take a have a rifle

73
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 6: and backup. We get to the ninth ending and we

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 6: ain't got any meat in the freezer because I am

75
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 6: counting on.

76
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 4: I had a piece of moose steak that you cooked

77
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: from one of the ones that you killed, and it's fabulous.

78
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 4: So the ultimate goal is to fill the freezer. Second

79
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: goal would be to do it with.

80
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: Archery, Tony, I'll tell you what I told Brent, and

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: don't I really don't want to influence him in any

82
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: unnatural way. But I've decided on the big, big hunts

83
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: in wild country that I've never been in that are

84
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: kind of like these once in a lifetime, once in

85
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: three decade type trips to take a bow, which a

86
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: bow is what I've gravitated towards since I was a kid.

87
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: That's what I typically want to do is bow hunt,

88
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: and I have taken a bow on some of those trips,

89
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: and I find that rather enjoying this wild country that

90
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: I'm in for ten days of my life, I'm thinking

91
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: about the limiting factor of that hunt, which is trying

92
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: to get within forty yards of that animal and kill

93
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: it with a boat rather than enjoined being there. So

94
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: the I get, the more I'm kind of like less

95
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: interested in the weapon on a hunt like that. Now,

96
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: if I'm hunting somewhere else, I might be like I'm

97
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: taking a bow. Do you understand what I'm saying?

98
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: I absolutely understand what you're saying.

99
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: What do you think?

100
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 5: It's just different strokes man, Like I wouldn't people ask

101
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 5: me about moose hunting all the time. I wouldn't moose

102
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 5: hunt with anything other than a bow, just like for

103
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 5: me personally, that's what I'd want to do. But I

104
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 5: get I absolutely get what you would do. Or you

105
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 5: have that backup rifle with you. And to your point, Clay,

106
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 5: I find myself even though like I just I just

107
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 5: love bow hunting more than anything. But I find myself

108
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 5: more and more where I'm like, I just want to

109
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 5: be someplace really special, Like I don't care about going

110
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 5: here because I can kill a big one here or whatever.

111
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 5: It's like I want to be in those places before

112
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 5: I get too old. And so you know, the weapon

113
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 5: choice for me is like it's just kind of setting stone.

114
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 4: I don't know why.

115
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 5: I'm just that's just the way I am. But the

116
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 5: important thing. It's the same thing as you're talking about, Like,

117
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 5: I want that experience. I want to be in those places. Yeah, yep, it's.

118
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: A big part of it. I'm just looking forward to.

119
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 6: I'm going with some good folks, Craig McCarthy North Mountain

120
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 6: Adventures and there. I mean those folks. I killed a

121
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 6: bear with them last year, a big old chocolate bear.

122
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 6: And they're just good folks. They actually came down went

123
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 6: coon hunting with us, whole family. Just good folks, good folks.

124
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 6: Where you went with me? What's up where you.

125
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 4: Went with me? Down that? They came right right right

126
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 4: doctor Camp. Yeah m hm.

127
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: So that's the hunt you're excited about, Tony, what's the

128
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 2: what's the hunt this fall.

129
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 4: You're excited about.

130
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 5: Honestly, this is going to be a little crazy, but

131
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 5: I picked up permission to bear hunt in Minnesota in

132
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 5: this on this property. It's only an hour from my house,

133
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 5: so the lightest lift to get there that I've ever

134
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 5: had for a bear hunt, you know, for a do

135
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 5: it yourself deal. And I'm not going to hunt them,

136
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 5: but my daughters. You know, one of my daughters shot

137
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 5: one in Wisconsin last year. One of them hunted Wisconsin

138
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 5: didn't get one, and so this is a no quota zone.

139
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 5: We won't have big bears, but we should have some

140
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 5: to work with. And I'm like, weirdly excited about that

141
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 5: because both of my daughters are just geeked up to

142
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 5: hunt bears, probably because they know I'm gonna pull them

143
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 5: out of school the first week of school or first two.

144
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 5: You know they're gonna get some vacation time early for this.

145
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 5: But that one has kind of caught me off guard

146
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 5: because bears haven't always been my thing, but when my

147
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 5: daughters want to hunt them in it's fun.

148
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's cool. You always say that.

149
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: It always surprises me because you're known as the whitetail guy,

150
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: so I always think you're gonna be like, oh this

151
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: tag that I got here there, And like almost every

152
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: year I talk to you, you tell me something about

153
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: a bear and I'm like, I mean, I want to

154
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: hear some comments. Do you think Tony's feeding me what

155
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: I want to hear? Is he feeding Klay Nukem wan

156
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: Clay Nukem wants to hear or is he being honest

157
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: with the world. I want to hear the comments there.

158
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: How authentic that was? I think he's telling the truth.

159
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, when you do what we do for

160
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 5: a job, and like, I love the whitetail hunts. I

161
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 5: have a I'm going to go try to decoy one

162
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 5: in late October in western North Dakota, which is a

163
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 5: place I just love to hunt.

164
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so I'm excited about that.

165
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 5: But we sort of take whitetail hunts for granted because

166
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 5: we do a lot of them, and that's just like

167
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 5: such an omnipresent part of your life. So anything that

168
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 5: I can deviate, that's just different, right if I can

169
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 5: deviate outside of it. And I just I feel like

170
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 5: I learn a lot when I bear hunt, because I'm

171
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 5: not very good at the same thing with duck hunting.

172
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 5: When I go duck hunting, I'm like, I'm not very

173
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 5: good at this, and I just.

174
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: Enjoy it, but because I'm figuring the novelty of it.

175
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I was with Brenton Tony all week.

176
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: We're here at the at the the Meat Eater Go

177
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: to market meeting for the For the year or so,

178
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,360

180
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: FELP stuff, we've been seeing all that. And I heard

181
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: Brent the other day casually talking to Tony, who he's

182
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: known for like a very long time, and Brent was like, Hey,

183
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: how's Wisconsin And Tony's like, I don't know, I don't

184
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: live in Wisconsin, but Minnesota is great.

185
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 4: It's not even close. And not even close.

186
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 3: That's pretty much what happened. No, well, you got the

187
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: state mixed up. Okay. People do this with with us

188
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: in the South.

189
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, you're from Mississippi, right, And I'm like, no,

190
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: I'm not from Mississippi, and I'm like Arkansas and they go,

191
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I mean it's kind of the same. How

192
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: many of you online do that between the Great Lake

193
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: States and the Southern States? Like if you just kind

194
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 2: of get it right that Tony's from somewhere up there,

195
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: it's okay. And you know how many like which one

196
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: do you get more confused with?

197
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: Because I probably would have done the same thing, Tony.

198
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: They're kind of all the same.

199
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 5: So I'm from Minnesota and we have Steve from Michigan,

200
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 5: Mark from Michigan.

201
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: We have a lot of lot of dudes here from Michigan.

202
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 5: People Michigan and Minnesota but I don't take offense to that.

203
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 4: I don't care at all.

204
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 5: But I wondered if somebody says, oh, you're from Mississippi,

205
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 5: does that like make your blood boiler?

206
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: Are you like, say, hey, listen, the states like Arkansas

207
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: and Mississippi, they're at the bottom of the pile for

208
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: every single thing built into our culture as an insecurity complex.

209
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like a it's like a it's like

210
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: a sociological thing.

211
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: We're built with it.

212
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: That's why we're so passionate about the razorbacks. It's like

213
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 2: the only thing we've got. So if you try to

214
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: staple me to another state, I'm.

215
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: Like, dude, the only thing I got is this state.

216
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: That's all I got going for me.

217
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 5: How how much do you too think that you've personally

218
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 5: elevated Arkansas just being from there?

219
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 6: The governor probably has a worn out for our wrist. Probably,

220
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 6: I don't know. I think we've probably we brought some

221
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 6: eyes on Arkansas. We had a matter of fact, we

222
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 6: had some guy contact that sent us an email that

223
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 6: because of the stuff he was listening to on Bear

224
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 6: Greece in this country Life, they were moving to Arkansas.

225
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 3: I don't say that's so terrible.

226
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 4: I seen him an email said, don't do that. We

227
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 4: were lying. Don't come. Did you ask him if he's

228
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: heard of Bozeman?

229
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: You should move. Bozman's a great town.

230
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: It is.

231
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I can't wait to see you guys photos.

232
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 4: It's great. Is that next?

233
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: No, it's not.

234
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: But we are going to interview Ronnie Cohen Calwenh Ronnie is.

235
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 3: I'll let him introduce hisself.

236
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: But Ronnie is in Tennessee and we're going to talk

237
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 2: with him about what he does, but specifically about alpha

238
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: gal which is a tick born illness, which for years

239
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 2: I've always told my kids. I was like, I'm more

240
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 2: afraid of ticks than I am snakes. You know, when

241
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: I was a kid, it was the snakes that our

242
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: moms were scared of. Today it's the ticks because they're

243
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 2: way more consequential.

244
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: Really. But if we can get Ronnie up, Hey, Ronny, can.

245

Speaker 8: I love it, man.

270
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: Every time I see that blue tick come out, I

271
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: get fire it up. If I if I had a

272
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: team other than the Razorbacks, it would be the Tennessee Balls.

273
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I appreciate that it's true. It's true.

274
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 2: I was I tailgated there last year at one of

275
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: the big games with Brent.

276
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 4: Yep, there's a lot of In fact, we saw Ronnie there.

277
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right, we met Ronnie. Yeah.

278
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 6: I actually coon hunting with Ronnie and he can't here,

279
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 6: and some of his friends came down hunted with me

280
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 6: and Michael at at the Duck Camp and that's that's

281
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 6: when Ronnie told me about contracting Alpha Gal. And it's

282
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 6: it's interesting too because of his job. He's a wildlife

283
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 6: biologist and he's with the Extension Service and they do

284
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 6: a lot of educational stuff with kids there in Tendnessee

285
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 6: and Ronnie's always out in the field teaching stuff to

286
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 6: kids and stuff, and he's having to deal with this

287
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 6: Alpha Gal and I thought it'd be interesting to have

288
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 6: Ronnie on here to talk about how it's changed his life.

289
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, how did you How long have you had it? Ronnie?

290
00:13:58,920 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, what was that?

291
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: How long have you had Alpha Gal?

292
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 8: Yeah?

293
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 9: I've had Alpha Gal for about two and a half

294
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 9: close to three years now, and I've contracted it what

295
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 9: I suspect to be. During early arter season, pulled a

296
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 9: bunch of ticks off of me, and it's the lone

297
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 9: star tick that messes you up there down here in

298
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 9: South and I suspected it came from that area because

299
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 9: I was getting a bunch of ticks on me. But

300
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 9: Brin's right, I'm out in the field a lot. I'm

301
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 9: an outdoor recreation specialist, so I'm in the woods a lot.

302
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 9: And you know, if you recreate the South, you come

303
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 9: in contact the picks all the time?

304
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: Was the tick?

305
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: I've always heard that it's got to be on you

306
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: for like over eight hours before you can get any

307
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: kind of infection from the tick.

308
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 3: Is that true?

309
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 9: I'm not sure that's what I've heard too. I don't

310
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 9: specialize in ticks or anything. Unfortunately, I just contracted this allergys.

311
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 8: But yeah, I have.

312
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 9: Heard that too, And you know, I tried to take

313
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 9: here of that and pull them off. But you know,

314
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 9: it's real easy to get those picks that you can't see,

315
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 9: and they're not always real detectable. So yeah, if that

316
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 9: is true, that that makes you feel a little bit.

317
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: Better that what is what's the internet say? Oh look, yeah,

318
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: Brent's gonna look at that. Well, tell us, tell us

319
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: what alpha gal is for somebody that might not know

320
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: and how it's affected you, Ronnie.

321
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, so alpha gal is an allergen to a carbohydrate

322
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 9: in a million meat. There's a lot of misinformation out

323
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 9: there that I have found because it's such a new thing.

324
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 4: Uh.

325
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 8: Some people call it just a.

326
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 9: Red meat alergism, but actually alpha gala is an allergen

327
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 9: to alma million meat.

328
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 8: So anything with fur or gives milk, you can't eat

329
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 8: meat from it.

330
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 9: So one night I had a really bad reaction. I

331
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 9: don't know how to explain it other than having lizard skin.

332
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 9: Woked up in a cold sweat and couldn't hardly breathe

333
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 9: and didn't know what was going on through the cold shower.

334
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 9: I took some ben a drill and ben a drill

335
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 9: puts me to sleep, so I was able to get

336
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 9: through that. I knew I needed help. Went to the

337
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 9: doctor and they got me into an allergist, and by

338
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 9: the time I got to see a specialist, I had

339
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 9: my second reaction. It was very similar, but with some

340
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 9: bad stomach issues. And eventually got into the allergists and

341
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 9: they were asking questions and.

342
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 8: He would say, you know, have you heard of Africa?

343
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 9: And I said, yeah, I'm a wildlife biologist, and I

344
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 9: do a lot in the outdoors. I've heard of that,

345
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 9: but I eat red meat every day and I don't

346
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 9: think that's it. He said, well, we're going to test

347
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 9: you anyways, and they did an official blood panel and

348
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 9: at that particular clinic, they said that I had the

349
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 9: highest levels of that allergism that they've ever seen. I

350
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 9: was living in Florida at the time, but coming back

351
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 9: up here in Tennessee and recreating, and so that was

352
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 9: really kind of life changing for me being a biologist,

353
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 9: and every meal that I eate had some kind of

354
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 9: meat in it.

355
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 8: So it's really life changing and.

356
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 9: Really hard to kind of mold around that, and it

357
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 9: changed how I hunted and and everything after finding that

358
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 9: news out.

359
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: How do you eat now, Ronnie? Like you can eat?

360
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: You can eat chicken, birds, fish. Is that the kind

361
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: of protein you can eat?

362
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 8: Yeah?

363
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 9: So poultry, seafood, and fish. You know, I eat a

364
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 9: lot of And I tell my life if they ever

365
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 9: get over this on the root fried chicken sandwiches again

366
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 9: because he's here on the road, that's about the only

367
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 9: fast food you have. But luckily, you know, poultry is

368
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 9: pretty good. I do like seafood, but I do miss

369
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 9: red and meat and pork, and I'm just about giving

370
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 9: up breakfast because it's hard to have a good breakfast

371
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 9: without sausage and bacon. So when I do a protein

372
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 9: bar now and out the door.

373
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 3: Will you ever shed the allergy?

374
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 2: Because I've heard of it kind of going up and

375
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: going down inside of people.

376
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: Do you think you'll ever shed it?

377
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 6: Yeah?

378
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 9: I have heard of people getting over it and the

379
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 9: allergies that I see here in Tennessee. They claim that

380
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 9: you can build a torrance to it, just like any

381
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 9: allergyen that sometimes it leaves, but other individuals have it

382
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 9: for the rest of their life. That really depends on

383
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 9: the person, and I think they need to do some

384
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 9: more research on it. But yeah, it can it can

385
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 9: come and go, and uh, there's different avenues. There's no

386
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 9: medicine for it that I'm aware of. There's some holistic

387
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 9: approaches with acupuncturing things that I have not tried. Some

388
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 9: people squear by it, but I have not been told

389
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 9: how that affects the allergy to the sugar molecule. But uh,

390
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 9: you know, it's a big deal to me because I'm

391
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 9: in the deer woods. I target deer species a lot

392
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 9: in my hunting, and when I would harvest a deer,

393
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 9: just the raw blood would bother me.

394
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: You know, a deer hunting at all? Are you deer

395
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 3: hunting at all now?

396
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 9: So yeah, i still deer hunt, and I deer hunt

397
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 9: with friends, and so if I do harvest one, and

398
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 9: I've got some really good friends. When I harvest one,

399
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 9: they help me with it. And it uh for some reason,

400
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 9: the are the raw blood breaks me out and Alpha

401
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 9: Gael what's strange about it affects people differently in their sensitivity.

402
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 8: So some folks can't even stand the smell of it.

403
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 8: I'm I don't have that bad.

404
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 9: Of a reaction to it, but the raw blood wants

405
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 9: us been feel dressed and hanged. I can cut the meat,

406
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 9: I can work it, I can fabricate it. I was

407
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 9: a butcher in college, so we grew up doing our

408
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,239
Speaker 9: own meat, our own processing. I can still do that

409
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 9: part of it. But getting out of the woods. The

410
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 9: first season after I had Alpha Gal, I harvested a

411
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 9: nice buck and just you know, moving the horns, taking

412
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 9: pictures of Griffin Grim's, I'd get the blood on them.

413
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 9: It would cause a lot of gets in a lot

414
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 9: of rotation, and so my friends helped me out. But still,

415
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 9: you know, it's it's had to change the way I hunt,

416
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 9: and luckily my good friends turned me on to birds.

417
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 9: I went on my first duck hunt a couple of

418
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 9: years ago and Arkansas, fell in love with it, came back,

419
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 9: bought a dog, a shotgun, and a new habit, and

420
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 9: so I've kind of changed. I grew up on the

421
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 9: side of a mountain here in East Tennessee, so that

422
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 9: so the duck hunt was totally new. And making a

423
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 9: long story short, in my job, I get new people

424
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 9: into hunting, and I grew up hunting as long as

425
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 9: I was old enough to toe the firearm.

426
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 8: So me having to.

427
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 9: Transition to another discipline, if you call it, really opened

428
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 9: my eyes what it needs to take to learn a

429
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 9: new skills. So even that you know, someone's very experienced

430
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 9: big game hunting for whitetail deer in Tennessee, transitioning the waterfowl,

431
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 9: it was a whole new ball game, and my responsibility

432
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 9: is getting other folks into it. So it actually I

433
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 9: think gave me a good perspective of how to do.

434
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 6: So, yeah, hey, Ronnie, I got a question and I

435
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 6: did a podcast on about TIX several episodes ago, and

436
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 6: we talked about alpha gal and Rocky Mountain spotted fever

437
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 6: and the ones that are predominantly in the US. But

438
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 6: I had some folks contact me and reach out about

439
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 6: acupuncture treatment for alpha gal being a successful treatment. What's

440
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 6: your experience with that and have you discussed that with

441
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 6: anybody there, with your physician or anything.

442
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, are, Yeah, my wife has was the first person

443
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 9: brought that to my attention. I know people personally have

444
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 9: done it, and they swear by it and they really

445
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 9: believe it, and uh, you know, I'm not a doctor.

446
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 9: I don't judge them, but it seems like to help it.

447
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 9: I do know that they really think it helps them.

448
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 9: I've looked into further research and there's not a lot

449
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 9: out there, but I do know that it goes in

450
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 9: and out of remission or can as far as an

451
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 9: allergyen goes through, just through what I have seen, So

452
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 9: I don't know if they're experiencing just you know, a

453
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 9: delayed response, or if it's actually working. But my friends

454
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 9: that have done it, they go and they get acupunctury,

455
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 9: they get a series of needles in their ear and

456
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 9: they have to walk around for a couple of days

457
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 9: with those needles in their ear, they come back and

458
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 9: take it out.

459
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 8: But I don't know how that affects.

460
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 3: The sugar out to eat red meat. Rodnie, I don't know.

461
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 9: I don't know if that's the answer, but I do

462
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 9: know those folks to truly believe it, and so I'm

463
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 9: not going to say it don't work.

464
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 8: It's just I don't know how it works, and I

465
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 8: haven't done that.

466
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 3: So last question here from Tony Ronnie.

467
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 5: So, Ronnie, I've lived in tick territory my whole life.

468
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 5: I'm just curious after you got diagnosed with this and

469
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 5: it sort of changed the arc of your life and

470
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 5: you know, just your time in the outdoors, did you

471
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 5: kind of not take texas seriously before? And are you

472
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 5: pretty pretty vigilant about treatments, paying attention like how has

473
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 5: how has your preventative you know kind of mindset, How

474
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 5: has that changed ever since your diagnosis?

475
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 3: Oh?

476
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 9: Absolutely, So I always thought I took ticks seriously. You know,

477
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 9: we were concerned about Rocky Mountain spot fever and lime

478
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 9: disease and things like that, and I would use your

479
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 9: sprays and your deets, and really where I hunted at

480
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 9: particularly worried about tiggers more than we did tick. We've

481
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 9: got a bad batch of them down here too. But

482
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 9: or I was pretty serious, But since I've caught this,

483
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 9: I've been real serious because Aler just says a great

484
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 9: way to get over this is to keep the ticks

485
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 9: off of you, which is a tall shore if you

486
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 9: recreate in the outdoors. So, uh, you know, I have

487
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 9: a pretty intensive plan where I dipped my clothes and

488
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 9: that breath or bar ether and however you pronounce it,

489
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 9: and then I spray deep and even you know this

490
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 9: is not maybe not the best advice, but you know,

491
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 9: even putting around your ankles on bare skin, I don't

492
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 9: know what they say about that, but it has helped

493
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 9: me tremendously and shut a lot of that down where

494
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 9: you put it on contact points around your ankles, around

495
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 9: your waist, use the products available out there, because.

496
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 8: I obvisually want to get over this.

497
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 9: So I'm trying to take the doctor's orders and try

498
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 9: to keep those ticks off of me. But we also,

499
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 9: you know now that I bird hunt a lot, I

500
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 9: take care of my dog too and make sure that

501
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 9: he's got a lot of the tick protection too, because

502
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 9: another great way is to them bringing into your house,

503
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 9: bringing into your kennels and things. So my hunting companions

504
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 9: like my lad my bird dog, I always take care

505
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 9: of that too, and try to keep it out of

506
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 9: the home and just real cautious of it because if

507
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 9: you're in shade, you know you're you're probably more likely

508
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 9: to get it. And the bad thing about that spotted tick,

509
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 9: the lone start tick, it's from my knowledge, if they

510
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 9: sense your carbon dioxide and they actually hunt you. It's

511
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 9: not like a deer tick that kind of hangs out

512
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 9: and grabs on to you when you.

513
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 4: Walk by it.

514
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 8: Those ticks actively crawl and hunt you. So right, and

515
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 8: keeping those things off.

516
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 2: Hey man, we're rooting for you, and uh, I think

517
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 2: you're gonna kick it. Man, I mark my words, two

518
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: and a half years, you're gonna be good to go.

519
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 9: I appreciate that, but I'm still keeping out there recreating

520
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 9: and just making them positive and getting more people in

521
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 9: the outdoors. And if you don't care, I'd like to

522
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 9: tell a little bit about what we're doing with Hunter

523
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 9: Advocacy before we go, just real quickly that you know,

524
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 9: we focused on the positives with Hunter Advocacy. We talk

525
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 9: about that tick protection, but we also try to bring

526
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 9: everybody into it for hunter advocacy. Part of my job

527
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 9: here at UT is, you know, teaching these new hunters

528
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 9: and kids how to get into outdoor recreation. So we

529
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 9: talk about those dangers of the ticks and the bugs,

530
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 9: but we also bring it back into the culture where

531
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 9: they have a lot of fun and the importance of conservation.

532
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 4: Thank you. Awesome work, Ronnie.

533
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 3: Awesome work, Thank you, Ronnie.

534
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 4: Thanks buddy.

535
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 3: Appreciate it. Man, all right, man' that's scary stuff. It

536
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: really is real. It can change your life, does dang ticks.

537
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: I had er lichyosis one time, and the best way

538
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 2: I describe it to people is it's what it feels

539
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: like when you die. Yeah, I mean, like, that's the

540
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: sickest I've ever been was with lichyosis, which is also

541
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: a tick board illness that's more concentrated over in our

542
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 2: part of the world.

543
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 4: Our dogs get it. We get it.

544
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 2: Now it's time for listener feedback. I see a lot

569
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 3: What else we got, Phil.

570
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 7: Freddy Rick, He asked this question every single week even

571
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 7: if we don't. But since we don't have a meat

572
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 7: Eater menu segment today, I will ask the crew. Well, first,

573
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 7: Freddy Rick says, I'm cooking a pronghorn neck right now

574
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 7: to make barbacoa. What if the guy's been cooking lately.

575
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 4: With the game, I've been cooking fried fish, and a

576
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 4: lot of it fried fish.

577
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 5: I I've been so what I like to do is

578
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 5: take my backstraps out hole in the fall and then

579
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 5: in the summer grill a whole backstrap for the family.

580
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 5: And since we had a bunch of redfish from Louisiana

581
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 5: last year, I've been doing surf turf. Even though I

582
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 5: can't eat the fish, my wife and kids love it,

583
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 5: and so we've been We've been going pretty simple, but

584
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 5: it's so good.

585
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: I've been doing bear smash burgers.

586
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: I've developed quite a reputation around our house for making

587
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: some mean black bear smash burgers. And so I've got

588
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 2: the patty like hanging out a half inch outside the

589
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: bun and cook him on the grill. I don't cook

590
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: him on like a griddle, like on a fire grill,

591
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: but press them down real thin.

592
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 3: And so been hitting a lot of those this summer.

593
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 2: And I'm on my annual water melon I try to

594
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: for sixty days straight from July and August, full month

595
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: often bleeds into September, eat watermelon every single day.

596
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 4: That's good.

597
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 2: But I've actually I just realized in Montana. I haven't

598
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 2: done that, but thanks Freddy.

599
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 3: Thanks Freddy. What else we got, Phil.

600
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, Tony, I think we might have gotten something like

601
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 7: this the last time you were a part of the show.

602
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 7: But Alan, it says Tony best advice for getting your

603
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 7: daughter into hunting. My daughter is four years old and

604
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 7: this will be her first season getting into the woods

605
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 7: with me, And I think this can extend to Brent

606
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 7: and Clay as well, who are also fathers of daughters.

607
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 5: You know, I would say four years old. One thing

608
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 5: that we do with kids a lot that I think

609
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 5: we get wrong is we take them the first time,

610
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 5: like on a hunt, where we're like, we're going to

611
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 5: try to be the most successful as possible, even if

612
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 5: your daughter's just observing because at force she's probably not

613
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 5: going to be shooting anything. But so for my daughters,

614
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 5: it was a big deal to go out and set

615
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 5: a blind with me. Something simple, you know, eat some candy,

616
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 5: talk about the deer tracks, just sort of get them

617
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 5: involved so they have that connection to it. When I'm

618
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 5: going to take them back there on some nice September

619
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 5: evening or something, when the conditions are going to be

620
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 5: right and they're actually going to sit with me, and

621
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 5: so it's just like, you know, it's kind of like

622
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 5: training a puppy, right, Like you have like a short

623
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 5: attention span to get this thing to stick, and you

624
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 5: want them, you want to leave them wanting more. So

625
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 5: you make it special. Right, you stop at dairy queen,

626
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 5: you get blizzards on the way home, whatever. But it's

627
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 5: always like this just tight window thing. You get in

628
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 5: something cool, do something that's tied to the next thing, right,

629
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 5: Or you walk them into the woods and you're like,

630
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 5: we're gonna go look for some berries or something, and oh,

631
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 5: by the way, here's this little brook trout stream that

632
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 5: we're gonna come back to next week. And it's just

633
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 5: this connection to nature instead of just just going in

634
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 5: and being like this is how I'm gonna kill a

635
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 5: deer and you're gonna watch it, which, you know, whatever

636
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 5: might work for some kids, but for girls, I think,

637
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 5: especially like daughters, just that overall connection and like the

638
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 5: recurring like we did this, now this, we did this,

639
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 5: now this, and just and plus that's just a good

640
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 5: excuse to get.

641
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 4: Out there more.

642
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 8: You know.

643
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 6: Bailey's introduction was with with my coon dog Whalen, when

644
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 6: we got Whalen. He was nine or ten months old.

645
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 6: This was twenty twenty. So Bailey was like in this

646
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 6: second grade, first second grade, I think, and we just

647
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 6: we'd take an evening. We were all learning together and

648
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 6: we were just walking and talking only coon Hunt when

649
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 6: not coon Hu with when Bailey went with me, the

650
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 6: only time I ever remember talking about glitter, hair bows,

651
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 6: anything along that line. But we made it fun and

652
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 6: we just had fun out there, and the best part

653
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 6: about it was just being with her, just walking out

654
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 6: there and showing her the things that I was interested.

655
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 7: Speaking of Bailey, I think she might have hijacked your

656
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 7: wife's YouTube account. She says, it's your favorite daughter with

657
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 7: four hours. She says, comments, Yeah, hey Bailey, their their

658
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 7: old way to Hello Bay.

659
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 3: And Alexis b Reeves.

660
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: You know, I think I think getting kids in Tony's

661
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: advice was so good. But to me another point is

662
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: involve them in the in the family culture inside of it.

663
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: Like if it's just this isolated incident like that, you

664
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: just their whole life is not connected to nature, then

665
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden one day it is. You know,

666
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: I think the the and I had I had, I'd

667
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: say I had over all success with my kids and

668
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: and the goal which was not to make them hunters,

669
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 2: but to make them appreciate hunting and wildlife conservation and

670
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: wild places. And just I think with with my son

671
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: who really stuck with hunting, and it was that involvement

672
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: in the culture, like he saw that his granddad did

673
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: it and I did it, and we eat this meat

674
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: and this is this is part of just like what

675
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: makes our family kind of who we are in a way,

676
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: you know, So bring them in, bring them into the culture.

677
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 5: I want to touch on one more thing about that,

678
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 5: even with four year olds, make them do just like

679
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 5: a little bit of work so they have a buy

680
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 5: in like this, like when you see a lot of

681
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 5: parenting these days, we're doing an awful lot of stuff

682
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 5: for our kids and like prioritizing their schedules and their lives.

683
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 5: But even like when my daughters were little, like that,

684
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 5: if I made them carry a trail camera or something

685
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 5: like do something so I'm like, honey, you got to

686
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 5: lug this into the woods and then when we need it,

687
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 5: we'll set it up together. And they there's just a

688
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 5: different level of buy in for them, Like they feel

689
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 5: different about it because they did a little bit of work,

690
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 5: So like barbaiting with my daughters when they were young,

691
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 5: which horrified my wife. But I'd be like, you're carrying

692
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 5: a little bucket a trail mix and gummies or whatever,

693
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 5: and you're going to be a part of this too,

694
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 5: you know, And I think there's just like a I

695
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 5: think there's a little bit different impact there.

696
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Phil, do we have one more hot, hot question.

697
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 7: Or we have a ton of hot questions.

698
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 3: We'll try to move a little faster.

699
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 7: Sure, Mitchell says, question for Tony, is it plausible to

700
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 7: train my lab GSP mix to both hunt grouse and

701
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 7: track deer? I realized the season can overlap it. Is

702
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 7: there a risk of confusing her?

703
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 4: That's a great question.

704
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 5: Dual purpose dogs used to be can my dog duck

705
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 5: hunt or you know, waterfall hunt? Can my dog upland hunt?

706
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 5: And then somewhere along the line, guys like Tom Doc

707
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 5: and a few other people started training for shad antlers,

708
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 5: and so then people would be like, well, if I

709
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 5: trained my dogs for shad antlers, is it going to

710
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 5: run off and forget about the roosters and look for antlers?

711
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 5: It's like, that's not how it works. When you when

712
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 5: you look at a long enough timeline. With training a dog,

713
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 5: we we way underutilize them. Like a good sporting dog,

714
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 5: a good working dog can handle a lot of tasks.

715
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 5: So if you if you take that dog and you

716
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 5: train it to blood trail, to which are you know,

717
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 5: tracking dog?

718
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 4: Essentially they're not really blood trailing.

719
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 5: That dog's not going to get distracted when it's time

720
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 5: to go point some grouse.

721
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 4: It's just not.

722
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 5: But it's also an amazing off season thing you can

723
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 5: train for because a lot of bird hunting, you can

724
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 5: train for parts of bird hunting, right, especially especially if

725
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 5: you have a retriever, you know, where you can do

726
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 5: a lot of long distance work and marks and all

727
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 5: that stuff, but you can't you can't do the hunt,

728
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 5: you know, like you just mostly can't. But with shed antlers,

729
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 5: with blood tracking or game trailing dogs, you can set

730
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 5: that up all off season long, and people kind of

731
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 5: we look at that and go, well, that's a that's

732
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 5: a really good skill I want my dog to have,

733
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 5: right my buddies, you know, gut shoot on elk or whatever.

734
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 5: I want to be able to bring my dog go

735
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 5: out there and find it. But it's also as a

736
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 5: dog owner just gonna help you level up that relationship

737
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 5: because now you have another reason to work with them

738
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 5: and read them and for them to read you, and

739
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 5: now you have another way for them to solve problems

740
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 5: with you and just level up. Like I encourage people

741
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 5: to do whatever whatever they can train their dog like

742
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 5: in this kind of arena.

743
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 4: Add on that skill set, work on it. Good good stuff.

744
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good.

745
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 2: When Brent thinks about a dual purpose dog, he thinks

746
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 2: about his dog that will tree coons and possums. That's

747
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 2: a deep inside coon hunter joke. The worst thing possible

748
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: that a dog could coon dog can do would be.

749
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 7: Let us know the check If you appreciated that joke

750
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 7: has a.

751
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 3: I can joke with the brand because he's got a

752
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 3: top notch walker dog.

753
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 4: Jealous.

754
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 3: Hey, I see two questions.

755
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I was gonna we have another round of

756
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 7: these at the end, and I was going to hit

757
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 7: you up with a bunch of these claim if you

758
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 7: want to tackle it, now's let's do it.

759
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 2: Well, let's go, let's move on. I'll tell you what.

760
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,959
Speaker 2: Let's move on. Let's come back to some of those.

761
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 2: I saw a question about my book, which I would

762
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: like to respond to. I saw a question about the

763
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 2: Bargreas Hall of Fame yep, which I would like to

780
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 4: Few and far between. And if you look in the background.

781
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 3: Back there, there's that possum trend.

782
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 4: There's a coon dog laying back there.

783
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 6: Now, my grandfather was a if you'll see the the

784
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 6: overalls and the pocket watch there, And I would give

785
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 6: anything if I could have one thing out of that photograph.

786
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 4: It wouldn't be the antlers and the watch would be

787
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 4: number two.

788
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 6: But my first item that I would love to have

789
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 6: is that hat that he's wearing, right, But he was

790
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 6: a farmer and a woodsman, and he is the guy

791
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 6: that introduced case knives into our family. That's the guy

792
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 6: that started it all. And that that would be.

793
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 4: Bailey's great great grandfather. And there's six generally.

794
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 3: Did you know him?

795
00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 6: No, he died in nineteen sixty four, I think, or

796
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 6: maybe sixty three, but.

797
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 4: Just a few years.

798
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,959
Speaker 3: So that's your dad's dad.

799
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 4: That's my dad's grandfather.

800
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 3: Oh, it's your great grandfather. I got it, ye man,

801
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 3: that that for real.

802
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 2: When I saw that picture, it looks like one of

803
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: those photos that you know, you you you got off

804
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: the internet because it's so cool, you know, But it's like,

805
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 2: that's really I love that photo.

806
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's a great photo. It's an absolute treasure

807
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 6: in our family.

808
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 3: So those those deer horns aren't a round.

809
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 4: No no idea.

810
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 6: I'm sure they went with the rest of that deer

811
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 6: that didn't get eating. Right then, it wasn't a it

812
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 6: wasn't a thing keeping antlers back then. Probably the biggest

813
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 6: uh trophy of the deal was absolutely encountering a deer.

814
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 3: And I'm probably using those walkers to run them weren't they.

815
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 6: That or I figure that they were probably squirrel hunting

816
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 6: and the deer came through because he wasn't leaving the

817
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 6: house to go deer hunting back then, because he's got

818
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 6: a squirrel vest on. Ye, And that's how I assume

819
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 6: that deer got got brought to the table.

820
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 4: I don't know. That's cool. That's a cool photo.

821
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, back when when, I mean the traditional way to

822
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 2: hunt deer, and a lot of places in the country,

823
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: but specifically the South, was using dogs to run them.

824
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:12,479
Speaker 4: Yep.

825
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: Because there were so few, so few deer, you just

826
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 3: had to.

827
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: Get them up and moving, you know. Aund And so

828
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 2: a deer and a dog just went together. Today it's

829
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: not not as popular.

830
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 3: Good job, Brent, good photo. Good photo.

831
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 2: Let's throw Tony's photo up there for throwback Thursday. Let

832
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: us know what you think in the comments.

833
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 4: Look at that one. So this fish, you guys, do

834
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,479
Speaker 4: you guys have small eat and this big right?

835
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 5: So clay, you guys know this right, somebody shoots a bear.

836
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 5: Everybody says they're three hundred pounds. You're like, they're one

837
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy five pounds. You know, somebody shoots a

838
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 5: giant you're like maybe, right, you see a picture of it.

839
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 5: You kind of know in the in the beast world

840
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 5: where I live, like to truly break the six pound

841
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 5: mark is like, you're just not going to do it

842
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 5: very often, even if you fish a lot smallies or

843
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 5: large mouth, right, m hm. So that's my little girl

844
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 5: when she was I think she was six, and we

845
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 5: went out to this rock pile at sunrise, and we

846
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 5: like to throw top waters, right, and so I had

847
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 5: her she wasn't throwing a bait caster yet, but I

848
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 5: had her with a seven foot you know, medium heavy

849
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 5: rod braided line so you could we use a lot

850
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 5: of wopper ploppers, you know, streamline.

851
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 4: Pretty heavy top water that you can throw a mile.

852
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 5: And so we pull up to this rock pile and

853
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 5: you know, she casts out there, casts it far, and

854
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 5: that that wopper popper hits the water and she reels

855
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 5: like half a turn and this fish hits and you know,

856
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 5: I just I heard a blow up and she set

857
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 5: the hook. You know, she's tiny, and that fish came

858
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 5: straight up like they always do small mouth, and I

859
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 5: saw it come up and in my head, I just go,

860
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 5: she will never get this fish.

861
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 4: Like I didn't go for the net.

862
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 5: You know, I'm cheering her on, but I'm like, there's

863
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 5: no way this fish is isn't going to throw this

864
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 5: in the amount of time it's going to take her

865
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 5: to get it back in. And she leaned into that

866
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 5: fish and fought it and fought it and fought it,

867
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 5: and finally got it up by the boat, got it

868
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 5: to where she could kind of work it around. I

869
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 5: had a net with me. I netted that fish, and

870
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 5: you know, I don't mount fish, right, Like I'm that's

871
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 5: that stage is kind of gone for a lot of people.

872
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 5: And it's the first time I'll never forget I had

873
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 5: the impulse. I looked into that net and I was like,

874
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 5: I'm throwing this sucker in the freezer and we're going

875
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 5: to mount it. But so before I get judged on this,

876
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 5: got it into the boat, measured it. It was just

877
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 5: broke twenty two inches, which is a crazy mark, right,

878
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 5: Like when you actually start measuring big smallies twenties and

879
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 5: twenty ones, they're big fish, right, But that twenty two

880
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 5: inch mark up up where we live is just no joke, right.

881
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 3: It's almost two foot long.

882
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 5: Right, And so we got really nice pictures of it

883
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 5: and then like, we gotta let this fish go, you know,

884
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 5: and she didn't. You know, she wasn't like we got

885
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 5: to keep it and stuff at whatever, like that's not

886
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 5: her thing. But it was like one of those things

887
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 5: when she let it go. I'm like, you, you have

888
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 5: no idea how many of you caught that big I

889
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 5: have caught two for sure in my life that broke.

890
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 5: I caught one that was twenty two and I caught

891
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 5: one that was twenty three with ten billion hours of effort.

892
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 4: Yeah right. I wasn't in first grade.

893
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 5: Right, And so that was just one of those things

894
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 5: where I was like, this is just such a beautiful fish.

895
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 5: And you know, when you look at the studies of

896
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 5: how how old a fish that that could be where

897
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 5: we live a couple hours south of there, they did

898
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 5: a pretty good study on smallmuff a long time ago

899
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 5: and to get to fourteen inches, which on the river

900
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 5: where that fish or where they were studying those fish

901
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 5: was a keeper the slot whatever it was seven I

902
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 5: think it was seven years old, seven years and so

903
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 5: you think about a fish that's a couple hours north,

904
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 5: short growing season, hitting twenty two inches, you know, I mean,

905
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 5: you're like that fish might have been out there for

906
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 5: fifteen years, I don't know, but a long time, and

907
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 5: I just think that's cool as hell. Yeah, that that

908
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 5: is really cool. Now, can't could you have gotten a replicam.

909
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 4: Out of that fish?

910
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 5: We could have, you know, I mean it's like it's

911
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 5: just not into that, right, you get when you get

912
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 5: really we catch a lot of big fish, and we

913
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 5: had really nice pictures of it.

914
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 4: It was just this cool moment.

915
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 5: And so yeah, maybe I should have measured the girth

916
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 5: and done the whole thing I did.

917
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 4: I just didn't.

918
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, in the South, we have or at

919
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 2: least in where I'm from, we have small mouth in

920
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 2: creeks and rivers, not as much in the lakes like

921
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 2: people's largemouth bass fish and the lakes. But you would

922
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 2: go to the creeks and rivers in the mountains to

923
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 2: catch small mouth and they, you know, a big one.

924
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 2: I don't really know length. Barry would know length pretty good,

925
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 2: but you know, like a two or three pounder would

926
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 2: be a nice creek fish.

927
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I mean that's I'm sure down where

928
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 5: you live that's connected to water town picture and rocks.

929
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you.

930
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 5: Don't have rocks, you know, the boulders. You just don't

931
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 5: have a lot of smallies.

932
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, cool, great photo, great photo. All right, let's

933
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 2: go to my This is the final photo in our

934

Speaker 2: Thursday throwback Thursday.

935
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 3: All right.

936
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 2: In the in the front of the fore wheeler, there

937
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 2: is my youngest son, Shepherd Nukeomb crying wearing his cowboy boots.

938
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 2: That's Bear John Newcomb in the middle there who I

939
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 2: think a lot of people know Bear.

940
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 3: And uh, if you'll notice that is a live coyote tied.

941
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 4: To the back of the of the four wheeler.

942
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 2: And that day, it was in late summer, and we'd

943
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 2: gone to this place that we were going to deer

944
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 2: hunt from some private land and it took the boys

945
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 2: and we'd hung a stand and it was it was

946
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 2: a funny moment because I literally remember like wanting to

947
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 2: make the trip fun for the boys. And I told them,

948
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 2: I said, y'all stay here at this four wheeler.

949
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 3: I'll be back.

950
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 2: And I really didn't know what I was looking for,

951
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 2: but I knew I was going to find something and

952
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 2: bring it back to them.

953
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 3: I'm not kidding.

954
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 2: And I took off and they're little guys and they're

955
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 2: throwing rocks and wrestling there around the four wheeler on

956
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 2: a little road, and I go off in the woods

957
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 2: and I don't walk fifty yards and I see a

958
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 2: litter of coyot pups get up in front of me

959
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 2: and flush like a covey of quail, and they take

960
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 2: off running and I take off running after them. And

961
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 2: basically it was like a cheetah chasing a herd of gazelle.

962
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 8: You know.

963
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 3: One would split.

964
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 2: Off to the right and I'd stick with the two,

965
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 2: and then one split off to the left, and I

966
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 2: just picked the one.

967
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 3: And I could run as.

968
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 2: Fast as that cayo pup, but I couldn't catch it,

969
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 2: and it he took a turn and started going down

970
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 2: this real rocky drainage, and I remember it just like

971
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 2: it was yesterday. I'm running so fast, is as fast

972
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 2: as I can run downhill, running on this boulder patch,

973
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 2: and I start to feel my chest and head lean

974
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 2: out in front of my face, and I know I'm toast,

975
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,919
Speaker 2: and I just say, I just just go straight down,

976
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 2: just fly through the air land on the rocks. Figure

977
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 2: I'm all busted up. And also Tony figured that the

978
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 2: coyote has gotten away because he was like eight feet

979
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: in front of me, both of us running full speed.

980
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 2: I bite the dust and when I stand up, I

981
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 2: see him.

982
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 3: I saw him duck into a little hole like he

983
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:49,919
Speaker 3: gave up the chase.

984
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,720
Speaker 2: Immediately when I bit the dust. And so I jump

985
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 2: up and he's under this rock. And I flip over

986
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 2: the rock, thinking Mama cayote might be in there. I

987
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 2: didn't know, and there's that pup curled up on the ground.

988
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 2: I reached and just grabbed him by the nape of

989
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 2: the neck, grab him up like.

990
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 3: This and he just goes limp.

991
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: And I walked back to Baron Shepherd and boys, I'm

992
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 2: telling you, I was a hero of the year when

993
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 2: I walked back up and I had that kayo pup

994
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 2: by the nape of the neck and said, boys, look

995
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 2: what I caught. And I had a little rope and

996
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 2: tied him to the to the to the to the

997
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 2: back of the vehicle there and took him home and

998
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 2: we kept him for about a week. And I also

999
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 2: at that time it was legal in Arkansas to have deer,

1000
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 2: and we we were raising the deer at that time too,

1001
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 2: And I kept the deer and the coyote in the

1002
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 2: same little kennel. And then the coyote. Is everybody interested?

1003
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 2: I hope the story's not going too long. The kyote started,

1004
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 2: I thought, well, I'm going to raise this kyote. We're

1005
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: gonving pat kyote. And it started getting mean and biting me,

1006
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 2: and so I knew I had to get rid of it.

1007
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 3: But it and this, this is true.

1008
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: I was worried about the legal ramifications of killing a

1009
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 2: coyote out of season. I mean it was on a

1010
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 2: deer hunting property, like we're trying to get rid of coyotes.

1011
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 2: So you thought I might have just exterminated the coyote,

1012
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 2: but I actually took it out into another place and

1013
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 2: turned it loose.

1014
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 4: Why did you take it back where you caught it?

1015
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 3: Because it's where a deer hunt Tony he put on

1016
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 3: the story of the coyote. Why we called him Wiley?

1017
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 4: Very original, very original?

1018
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 3: All right? All right?

1019
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 2: What is success Throwback Thursday? Great photos, guys. We're now

1020
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 2: going to go on to interview number two. We're going

1021
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 2: to be interviewing a guy that Brent knows. His name

1022
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 2: is Each Stewart from Arkansas. Brent, I'm gonna let you

1023
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 2: take it over.

1024
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 4: My buddy. Each.

1025
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 6: He is the director of the Public Timber Project there

1026
00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 6: in Arkansas. He's a dedicated lifelong duck hunter water fowler,

1027
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 6: good friend of mine, and I want to get him

1028
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 6: on here and talk about the stuff that he's doing.

1029
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 4: Each. Can you hear us, buddy, gotcha?

1030
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: Can y'all hear me?

1031
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 4: I got you? Man?

1032
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 1: Each tell us about Thanks for having me.

1033
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 4: You're very welcome.

1034
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 6: We're pleased that you hear tell us about the project

1035
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 6: you got going, what the name of it is, what's

1036
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 6: your role in it is, and what the plan is

1037
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 6: for Arkansas.

1038
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: All right, well, thanks for thanks again. My name's Eah Stewart.

1039
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: I guess I'm I'm the president of the Public Timber Project,

1040
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: and in reality, I'm just one of the fellaws that's

1041
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: started it, but one of us had to fall on

1042
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: the grenade and call ourselves the president. We formed ourselves

1043
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: as a form profit here in Arkansas, so we had

1044
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: to get organized on paper at least at the very beginning.

1045
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: But in reality, the Public Timber Project is a grassroots

1046
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 1: movement for public land duck hunters all across the country.

1047
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: Of course, our focus was on issues that we were

1048
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: seeing in Arkansas and our public lands, so we're more

1049
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: of a social experiment and a movement than we are

1050
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,479
Speaker 1: on profit. And at the end of this I'll ask

1051
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: folks to if you want to support us, support us

1052
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: by following us reaping out. We don't really need your

1053
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: money right now. The only expenses we have is on

1054
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 1: ball caps and trash bags. But I'll step back a

1055
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: little bit and talk a little bit about why we

1056
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: started in the first place. And for folks that don't

1057
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: duck commers that aren't from the South, that aren't aware,

1058
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, in the duck hunting world, hunting ducks and

1059
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: flat under sort of the holy grail of duck hunting.

1060
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen ducks finish through the canopy of

1061
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: the trees and land at your feet in the woods, man,

1062
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: you ain't lived. And there's only so many places we

1063
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: can do that. Arkansas happens to be one of the

1064
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: states that has more public land available for folks to

1065
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: carry on this tradition than any other state in the US,

1066
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: But most of the states in the South have public lands,

1067
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: state and federal where folks can go and hunt this way,

1068
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 1: and it's an old way of hunting. It's an old tradition.

1069
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: This is duck hunting. Flooded timber in the South. It's

1070
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: part of our culture, it's part of our identity. It's

1071
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:24,439
Speaker 1: who we are. A lot of us included. I'd rather

1072
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: rather skunked in the woods than shoot a limit on

1073
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: a rice field, because it's something about being.

1074
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 4: In the woods.

1075
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 1: It's the way we hunt. It's our history, our tradition.

1076
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 1: Like I said, this is culture for us down here.

1077
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: And things are changing and not all further better. On

1078
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: our public lands there in Arkansas. We've got a lot

1079
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: of management issues. Don't necessarily get into but we've got

1080
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: a lot of challenges. I'll leave it at that. And

1081
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: one of the things that's come about in the last

1082
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: few years, the way the state and the Feds are

1083
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 1: modified and changing how they're managing these places is that

1084
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: fewer and fewer places are holding water. So all these

1085
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: flooded timber areas in the South that we duck hunt,

1086
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: these are forests. That's forest management. These are forests that

1087
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: floods seasonally. As the Mississippi comes up in the winter

1088
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: and all the rivers in Arkansas and all the southern

1089
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 1: states flood up with water. These forests get water on them,

1090
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: and the water comes up and it lets the ducks

1091
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: come in there. It gives them safety, shelter, food. They

1092
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: feed on acorns and all the other food in these areas.

1093
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: And so if you have less and less water on

1094
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: our public lands, then the places that we do have water,

1095
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: what we're seeing is a huge concentration of hunters in

1096
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: these few areas. And probably nowhere is this more the

1097
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: Black River here in Arkansas. And I hate to mention

1098
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: the Black Rivers so much because folks that locals up there,

1099
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: that live and hunt up there, they don't really want

1100
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: everyone knowing about the Black River. But the word is

1101
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: out on the Black River. I think they ain't no

1102
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 1: secret man. It's all over the internet and YouTube. So

1103
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: just to kind of paint a little bit of a

1104
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: picture on why the public timber project exists. Last season

1105
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: on duck Opener at Ashball Boat Ramp, which is one

1106
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: of the three probably busiest boat ramps on the Black River,

1107
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,399
Speaker 1: we had a thousand trucks and boat trailers lined up

1108
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: at the boat ramp. That line it stretched out a

1109
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: mile and a half from the boat ramp and fellas

1110
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: were in line for up to a week before opening morning.

1111
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: That's a thousand trucks and trailers at one boat ramp,

1112
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: there's no trash services, there's no porta potties, and the

1113
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: impact this has happened on this area, it's an consequence

1114
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: of our current management, if that makes sense. We're really

1115
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: impacting this these areas in a way that we're causing

1116
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 1: damage to some of these areas. So we're seeing changes

1117
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: like that happening in duck hunting in Arkansas and the South.

1118
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: We're seeing a lot of areas that we used to

1119
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: hunt that aren't holding water and aren't holding ducks, and

1120
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: we're seeing this huge concentration of hunters on fewer and

1121
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: fewer public land areas that have water and have birds. Okay,

1122
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: we're seeing some other big changes on public lands down

1123
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: here with duck hunting that it's sort of all this

1124
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: stuff fits in together. Probably one of the biggest ones

1125
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: concerned about is the changing demographic of the public land

1126
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: duck hunter in the South, in particular in Arkansas. Now,

1127
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: when we all grew up, if you duck hunted in

1128
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: Arkansas at all, on you hunted public if you weren't

1129
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,359
Speaker 1: you weren't a rich man, if you were a poor

1130
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,879
Speaker 1: kid like I was, and you hunted the ramp because

1131
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: you couldn't afford membership at a private club. You were

1132
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: going to run into a whole litany of fellas at

1133
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 1: the boat ramp, and there was going to be plenty

1134
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 1: of old timers there that had been doing it their

1135
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: whole lives, that had a thing or two to teach

1136
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: the rest of us. Well, because of this increase of

1137
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: pressure that we're seeing, we've run off all our old timers.

1138
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: You just don't sing no more out of the boat ram.

1139
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: So what we have is basically a angry mob of

1140
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:19,240
Speaker 1: twenty three year olds that are being mentored by YouTube.

1141
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: And if you want to I love it, I watch y'all. Well,

1142
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 1: if you were to talk to my dad, who's still

1143
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: duck hunts with me seventy eight years old, he tell

1144
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: you that there ain't a show on YouTube that ain't

1145
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: tree popping dirks. So the point being that these young

1146
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: fellas are getting into duck hunting. They're not being taken

1147
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: out by their dads and their uncles and their granddads.

1148
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: They're learning everything they can from YouTube and our opinion

1149
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: that we're making the wrong folks famous in duck hunting,

1150
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: and we've got some just bad examples out there, and

1151
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: we're seeing our culture shift. We're seeing traditions and the

1152
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,919
Speaker 1: ways we used to hunt things that got passed down

1153
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: from generation the generation is we're seeing it and road

1154
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: and change and all but disappeared from the landscape when

1155
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: we go duck hunting. And so as a response to that,

1156
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: like every other duck camp in Arkansas in the South,

1157
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, we sit around and we complain about all

1158
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 1: the problems.

1159
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 4: Of duck hunting.

1160
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: Yes, at our camp, we decided we wanted to do

1161
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: something about it. And uh, you said, preach, ain't preaching

1162
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:32,919
Speaker 1: really talk cheat everybody in duck hunts preaching about duck hunt.

1163
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: So we thought from the beginning, hey, if we're going

1164
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: to change things for the better, it needs to be

1165
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: through action and not just So last fall we started

1166
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 1: doing cleanups here in Arkansas, and we started off down

1167
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: on the White River Clarendon at a boat ramp that's

1168
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: probably one of the most trash places that you could

1169
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: launch a boat to go hunt ducks or get a

1170
00:55:55,640 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 1: real busy boat ramp. We did a clean up, not really,

1171
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 1: we didn't everybody show up, but we thought this is

1172
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: a good place to start. We just need to start

1173
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 1: showing up organized duck hunters and get folks to come

1174
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: out of the woodwork, show up to our cleanups, get

1175
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 1: involved in a positive way, making a difference in our woods.

1176
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: And the next cleanup we did, we had a cople

1177
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: people show up, and the next one we had a

1178
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: couple more folks show up, and it slowly started building

1179
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 1: and we realized early on that these cleanup projects, that

1180
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:35,280
Speaker 1: these boat ramps were working. The other thing that happened

1181
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 1: is we had a lot of duck hunters reaching out

1182
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: to us across the South and all of Minnesota, Cannon,

1183
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: all over the place that started finding out about us

1184
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: on social media do and they wanted to get involved,

1185
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: but they couldn't make it to any of our organized cleanups,

1186
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: and so we started our hat campaign, which is basically,

1187
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: duck hunters, clean up your local area. There's publicans that

1188
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: you love that that's where you hunt, make ownership, clean them, up,

1189
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: them up, be a good role model, Send us the picture,

1190
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 1: and we want to fill social media with positive images

1191
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: coming from the duck hunting community as opposed to the

1192
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: fist fights and duck holes and the horse races to

1193
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: get to your spot. There's far too much negative press.

1194
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: We're our own worst enemies. Out there. We're painting a

1195
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: picture to the ag FC and to all the land

1196
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:29,880

Speaker 3: make it quick.

1341
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 6: They're all impressive. I have at least experience with Muley's,

1342
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 6: so that didn't really. I mean, I like the photo

1343
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 6: because of the action. But the big one, the big

1344
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 6: one is standing in that wide oak bottom that.

1345
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 4: That grab right there. Yeah, that and.

1346
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 6: It's like a three day old photograph.

01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 4: That's cool. That's that's right where I'm at too.

1348
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 5: When I look at that picture, I mean, obviously it's

1349
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 5: a beautiful deer, beautiful deer, but where it's at, I mean,

1350
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 5: that's the kind of stuff I just love to hunt.

1351
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 5: I look at that picture, and that picture brings me

1352
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 5: into a place where I would see a deer like that.

1353
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with the team here.

1354
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 2: I would be voting for Andrew's big Buck number one,

1355
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 2: but I think you can make a case for the

1356
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 2: albino buck.

1357
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 8: It is.

1358
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 7: The pull is very tight right now. So if you

1359
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 7: haven't voted yet, get in there and let your voice

1360
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 7: be heard.

Speaker 2: Andrew, if you're out there, what are the chances that Brent,

1362
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 2: Brent can come hunt that buck with you?

1363
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,560

01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:29,520

1398
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 2: and you know where Brent's gonna hunt up there with,

1399
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 2: so congratulations, Tony tell us about the Moultrie Edge.

1400
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 5: So I got a Moultrie Edge three right here in

1401
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 5: this fancy box. We learned all about these dudes yesterday.

1402
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 5: So I mean, this is this isn't my world. But

1403
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 5: some some of the listeners here Southern guys running feeders.

1404
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 4: They have Moultrie Connect.

1405
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 5: You can basically manage and monitor your feeders and it's

1406
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 5: a whole system. It's a totally way more efficient way

1407
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 5: to live in that world, which isn't my world. What

1408
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 5: is my world is trying to find big Bucks on

1409
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 5: a natural pattern. And you know, I know AI is

1410
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 5: sort of a buzzword out there right now. Anybody who

1411
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 5: plays in the stock market or messes around Wall Street

1412
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 5: bets you're seeing Nvidia and you're seeing Palenteer in these

1413
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 5: companies that are they're doing a lot with AI or

1414
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 5: you hear hear about a lot. Well, Moultrie has Moultrie

1415
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 5: AI coming out on this Edge three. And one of

1416
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 5: the things this can do is help you filter through

1417
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 5: to only get videos of Bucks sent to your sent

1418
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 5: right to your apps, set right to your phone, instead

1419
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 5: of getting notifications for all the other critters, doze whatever.

1420
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 5: If you want to select it down pretty far. You

1421
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 5: can you can kind of customize it too. If you

1422
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 5: want to get just photos of non target animals or

1423
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 5: photos of all animals, but also get videos sent to

1424
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 5: you of bucks. You can do that too. And I

1425
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 5: keep thinking about this. I'm heading back down to Nebraska

1426
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:35,560
Speaker 5: where I'm hunting with Steve this fall. I have a

1427
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 5: whole bunch of cameras down on this ranch that we're hunting.

1428
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 5: It's a brand new property to us, working cattle ranch,

1429
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 5: and so I put up cameras and in some spots

1430
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 5: I'm getting cattle, I'm getting beavers, I'm getting geese, I'm

1431
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 5: getting lots of raccoons, non target animals. And so when

1432
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 5: I go back down there, I'm going to swap out

1433
01:08:56,080 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 5: some of those cameras with these edge threes because I'm filtering.

1434
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 2: Through don't want to get notifications about cows. Right that

1435
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 2: when it sends out a picture to you, it's using

1436
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 2: battery life, So the moultra AI when you program it,

1437
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 2: and some of these guys that are putting cameras over

1438
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 2: feeders are potentially getting hundreds of pictures of a.

1439
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 5: Day, right well, right, And when you put up a

1440
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 5: camera in a pasture, that doesn't have cows in, and

1441
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 5: they put it in cows. You get hundreds of pictures

1442
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 5: a day too, So it's and this is you know,

1443
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 5: I like pictures of deer, I like pictures of all animals,

1444
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 5: but this is like our rut hunt. So I'm kind

1445
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 5: of just trying to key in on the bucks. The

1446
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 5: other thing I'll say about this quick. This isn't new

1447
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 5: to the Edge three, but it is a feature of it.

1448
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 5: A lot of cameras for for a while had like

1449
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 5: a live aim feature they had. They had some kind

1450
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,640
Speaker 5: of you know, viewing window, LCD screen, whatever, so you

1451
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 5: could set it up and point in the right direction.

1452
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 5: Because I do a lot of public land hunting, I'll

1453
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 5: put them up high, uh in this situation, because we

1454
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 5: knew cows were going to get rotated through there, and

1455
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:56,959
Speaker 5: I didn't want them to mess with the cameras.

1456
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 4: You're mounting them higher and pointing them down.

1457
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,680
Speaker 5: And so there's a live aim feature on here that

1458
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 5: you can go to your phone and see exactly what

1459
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 5: you're seeing. So I can I can customize that and

1460
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 5: set it up exactly the way I want to, so

1461
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 5: I know when I walk away, I'm not waiting for

1462
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 5: that test picture or anything like that. I'm like, Okay,

1463
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 5: I know this is going to be aimed exactly how

1464
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 5: I want it to be.

1465
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:20,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, Man, the multies.

1466
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 2: I'll tell you one of the things I was most

1467
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,600
Speaker 2: impressed about was the price point on those things. I

1468
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 2: don't know exactly what that's going to be, but I

1469
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:28,799
Speaker 2: mean this is not this is like under one hundred

1470
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 2: and forty cameras one hundred and fifty dollars camera. Yeah,

1471
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,480
Speaker 2: so I mean that's pretty inexpensive.

1472
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 3: And they and they the.

1473
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 2: Some of the other cameras are less cheaper than.

1474
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:43,800
Speaker 4: That, right and it.

1475
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 5: And the last thing I'll say about this too is

1476
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 5: you know, it wasn't that long ago in cellular cameras

1477
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 5: where we had to select a Verizon, select a carrier

1478
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 5: right and at and T whatever. Now you can connect

1479
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 5: to all major carriers with this sover whatever company has

1480
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 5: the best reception wherever you're gonna go.

1481
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,719
Speaker 4: So in the white tail world, maybe not that big.

1482
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 5: Of a deal in a lot of places, but if

1483
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 5: you're trying to monitor a water hole or a wallow

1484
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 5: for ELK or you know, some of the western applications

1485
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 5: and just someplace, you know how it is like some

1486
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 5: places you go where for whatever reason, your buddy's got Verizon,

1487
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 5: he's got awesome coverage, and you have AT and T

1488
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 5: and it sucks. It's kind of nice to not have

1489
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:21,599
Speaker 5: to worry about that anymore. It'll pick the best one

1490
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 5: and use it.

1491
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 2: Yep, yeahep excellent, excellent, excellent. We're moving on to the

1492
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 2: end of our show here, guys. We appreciate everybody being

1493
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 2: here commenting. We're gonna take a last round here of

1494
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:36,600
Speaker 2: listener feedback.

1495
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 7: Phil, Yeah, I got it here. Let's go ahead and

1496
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 7: talk about your book, Clay. Where's where's the question? It

1497
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 7: was somewhere If you just want to start talking.

1498
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 3: About Yeah, I had somebody ask about the book.

1499
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 7: We go let's promote or Hey, Clay, how's your book

1500
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 7: coming along? I'm really looking forward to.

1501
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 3: Hey man, that.

1502
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:51,760
Speaker 4: Guy right there is the most He may be the

1503
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 4: most lower listener ever.

1504
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 7: I see him every he lives in Hungary. Clay, how

1505
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 7: you watch the show? He's here every single week. He's

1506
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 7: got great questions, he's got a bear grease out. It's

1507
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 7: a big fan.

1508
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 2: Ah man. The book is going incredible. It's it's changing

1509
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 2: my life. It really is just the discipline involved in

1510
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 2: the level of research. We do a lot of research

1511
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 2: on bear grease, but I've never had to research stuff

1512
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 2: like like we are for this book. And we're still

1513
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 2: a long long ways from from Clay's book coming out

1514
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 2: in Tony. But uh, I'm I'd say I've got We've

1515
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 2: got a third of the book in a format right

1516
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 2: now that I would feel comfortable, you know, sending to share.

1517
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 4: Can you share the target date with it?

1518
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 2: Or is that still though it's it's not really got you. Yeah,

1519
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 2: But the book is about the American black bear. It's

1520
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 2: the it's the it is the the bio of the

1521
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 2: American black bear, told like it's never been told before. Guaranteed,

1522
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 2: book has never been written like this before. It's going

1523
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 2: to blow your mind.

1524
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 1: Uh.

1525
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 7: From Freddy Rick, another food centric question, he says he

1526
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 7: doesn't have much access to squirrels here in Nevada. Do

1527
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 7: you guy, do you think I could replace them with

1528
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 7: jack rabbit for recipes that call for squirrels.

1529
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, I ain't never had a jack rabbit. But if they,

1530
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,840
Speaker 6: if they taste anything, I mean here, what you're going

1531
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 6: to do with a squirrel is what I'm gonna do

1532
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 6: with a cottontail. And that's frame powder is behind with

1533
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 6: buttermilk and flour. And though we meant some hot grease.

1534
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:22,799
Speaker 2: M I don't have a lot of experience with Jack Rabbits.

1535
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:24,599
Speaker 2: I heard bad things about him though.

1536
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, Steve, Steve was talking crap about him the other day.

1537
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 5: I think I think frying them would be the best bet. Yeah,

1538
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 5: And I don't know if you're going to pull it

1539
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 5: off or not.

1540
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. I ain't never had one, but

1541
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 4: good idea.

1542
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:37,719
Speaker 7: It's good. And talk about the Hall of Fame question

1543
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 7: Tigers Tiger's Fan sixty eight eighty four.

1544
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 2: If you're not familiar with the Bear Grease podcast, we

1545
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 2: have an official Bear Grease Hall of Fame which typically

1546
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 2: goes to There are I believe there are nine or

1547
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 2: ten members that people that have been inducted into the

1548
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:57,000

Speaker 7: I'd love to have her help me.

1571
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 5: Well, old dogs can learn new tricks, and I think

1572
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 5: I don't think there is an age where you can't

1573
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 5: teach them stuff. It changes how you train them a

1574
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:29,639
Speaker 5: little bit, you know. But teach that dog to blood trail.

1575
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:32,599
Speaker 5: I mean, you're not going to take anything away from

1576
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 5: that dog, and it will.

1577
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 4: Learn what to do.

1578
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 5: I mean, the first dog that I trained to shed

1579
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 5: hunt was a Golden Retriever. I had several dogs ago,

1580
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 5: and I think she was five or six, probably five

1581
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 5: when I started teaching her. And it wasn't any different

1582
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 5: than taking an eight week old pup and being like,

1583
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 5: you know, here's what we're starting with. We're stringing together

1584
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,639
Speaker 5: these behaviors the daisy chain them together until you finally

1585
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 5: have that skill set. Then you work on that. So

1586
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 5: train that eight year old lab. That lab will love it,

1587
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:01,920
