1 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: From Mediators World News Headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: Cal's weekend review, presented by Steel. Steel products are available 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: only at authorized dealers. For more, go to Steel Dealers 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: dot com. Now here's your host, Ryan cal Callahan. Five 5 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: percent of wildfires are sparked by humans, and a new 6 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: study published in the Wildlife Society Bulletin points to yet 7 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: another way we've been lighting nature on fire. According to 8 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: the study, forty four wildfires were lit in the contiguous 9 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: United States between two thousand fourteen and two thousand eighteen 10 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: by quote Avian electrocutions. Those are birds that are on fire. 11 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: Flom de bird, if you will, but he just caught 12 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: fire about time to These occur when a bird simultaneously 13 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: contacts and energize power wire and a path to the ground, 14 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: such as a grounded piece of equipment like a transformer. 15 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: Birds can also get electrocuted when they simultaneously contact two 16 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: energized wires at the same time. Raptor species like eagles 17 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: and vultures are particularly affected, and most of the fires 18 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: occurred in California, in ecoregion known as Mediterranean California, which 19 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: encompasses about half the state along the coastline. Ten of 20 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: the forty four fires sparked by avian electrocutions were in 21 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: the Mediterranean California region. Now, we don't know why California 22 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: barbecues so many birds, but we do know California, so 23 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: it's safe to assume birds are possibly power. Polls may 24 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: be illegal in the near future. This week, we've got 25 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: crime legislation, ponies and e h D. But first I'm 26 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: gonna tell you about my week. In My week, as 27 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, is brought to you by Steel Power Equipment, 28 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: steel makers of the world's finest chainsaws. I want to 29 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: give a quick shout out to all the athletes I 30 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: met at this year's Steel Power Sports Championships who happened 31 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: to be hunters too. It's about time putting down the 32 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: saws and axes and pick up bows and rifles. And 33 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: trust me when I say you want these folks in 34 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: your wilderness hunting camp. They can stack up the wood 35 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: real fast. As you know, hunting season is here. Hopefully 36 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: you're flinging arrows. I know I have been. I've been 37 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 1: running old Snore to kiss every day in the river. 38 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: Her landwork is in need of more repetition, but it's 39 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: just too darn hot. I've managed to get three rounds 40 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: of sporting clays in so far. By the time you 41 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: hear this, it'll be four old Casey hawks. Who's your 42 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: head of customer service? And I have a you know, 43 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: Clay pigeon date. First Light is doing some really incredible 44 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 1: work on the clothing front. They just opened a new 45 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: store front and Hailey, Idaho. You can see everything there 46 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: firsthand if you happen to come through, including the brand 47 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: new waterfowl line and everything else is brand new. One 48 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: thing you may not know is I was the first 49 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: employee at First Light. Things are really scrappy back then. 50 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: We worked really hard, made some great stuff. But I 51 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: will say that what FL is creating right now that's 52 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: an abbreviation for First Light Try to keep up, is 53 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: just at a much higher level. It's not even comparable 54 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: to what we were doing ten years ago. It's humbling 55 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: and really cool to see, and of course I'm looking 56 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: forward to thrashing the living hell out of all of 57 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: that gear this season, providing every opportunity for product failure. 58 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: Old snort and I can I hope you are doing 59 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: the same, but I know we'll all be surprised at 60 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: the abuse the gear can absorb and withstand good luck, 61 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: have fun, Be safe out there and be courteous and kind. 62 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: Say hello. You may just bump into me, and you 63 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: don't want to run into the wrong side. Out of 64 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: the weekend review. Moving on to the crime desk, Authorities 65 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: are asking for the public's help and identifying a man 66 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: who shot a bear hunter in the Washington Blue Mountains 67 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: near Walla Walla, Washington. The city so nice they named 68 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: it twice. According to local media, the hunter was looking 69 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: for a barriage shot while his partner stayed on the 70 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: mountain side to watch his progress. A shot rang out, 71 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: and the hunter on the mountains saw his buddy fall 72 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: to the ground and rolled down the hill. He rushed 73 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: across the canyon and saw another man running away through 74 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: a farm field. He also said he heard voices from 75 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: at least two hunters as he made his way to 76 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: his friend. The hunter who had been shot was bleeding profusely, 77 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: but he made it to the hospital where he is recovering. 78 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: Detectives are obtaining search warrants for vehicles that were seen 79 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: in the area. But if you have any info into 80 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: this case, give the Walla Walla Sheriff's office a call 81 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: at five zero nine five to seven, three to six five. 82 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,679 Speaker 1: The incident occurred in Nightingale Canyon, about five miles east 83 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: of wall al Wala. Even if your state does not 84 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: require it, I personally prefer to pack a minimum of 85 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: a blaze orange beanie took or ball cap for when 86 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: my hunt is over. It also helped for signaling other people, 87 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: not just not getting shot anyway. A couple in the 88 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: Florida Keys was arrested recently for attacking a man they 89 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: said was snorkeling too close to their dock. We've covered 90 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: how touchy dock owners can be about anglers getting too 91 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: close to their private kingdoms in Florida. For this couple, 92 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: snorkeling was a bridge too far. They argued with the 93 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: snorkeler for a few minutes before they went after him. 94 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: Sixty five year old Paolo day Olivera was charged with 95 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: aggravated battery after he hit the swimmer with quote some 96 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: kind of poll while sixty one year old Katie Day 97 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: Olivera was charged with battery for hitting him with a 98 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: fishing pole. The man was reportedly bleeding profusely from his 99 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: head when he was pulled out of the water by 100 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: his family in a nearby boat. I got to tell you, 101 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: this is next level crazy. There is nothing more docile 102 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: and non threatening than somebody snorkeling even the most fish. 103 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: Trust me on that one. The Oliveras weren't the only 104 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: Florida couple who found themselves in hot water for wildlife 105 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: related crimes. To Miami men were arrested in July after 106 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: officers found an endangered key deer in their car during 107 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: a recent traffic stop. Key deer are the smallest existing 108 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: North American deer species, and they are only found in 109 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: the lower Florida Keys. The men claimed they had hit 110 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: the deer and were taking it to a vet in Miami, 111 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: but when Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers responded 112 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: to the scene, they pointed out that the area isn't 113 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: even key deer habitat. The men were arrested and could 114 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: face fell any charges and probably not tiny ones next up. 115 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: I know it can be tempting to take the occasional 116 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: shot at neighborhood food, but two recent stories from New 117 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: Mexico and British Columbia should help alleviate that temptation. In 118 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: New Mexico, A roswell man was arrested recently after he 119 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 1: admitted to sheriff's deputies that he was hunting doves without 120 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: a license in a residential neighborhood. He claimed he didn't 121 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: know the hunting rags because he was from another planet 122 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,559 Speaker 1: and the FEDS already confiscated his spaceship. Love children comin, 123 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, and that's a roswell joke. Forty one 124 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: year old Thomas Vick is from this solar system as 125 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: far as we know, but that didn't save him from 126 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: being charged with negligent use of a deadly weapon and 127 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: hunting small game without a license. Residents told deputies they 128 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: saw him fire four shots into the air with his shotgun. 129 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: No word on whether he hit anything. In British Columbia, 130 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: another enterprising urban hunter was fined seven thousand dollars and 131 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: banned from hunting for six years after admitting to shooting 132 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: a mule deer in a residential neighborhood. Thanks to listener 133 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: Sean Earth for sending this one. In andre Comb, you 134 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: pled guilty to one count of hunting out of season 135 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: and one count of something called hunting without consideration, which 136 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: is just about the most Canadian sounding crime I can 137 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: think of. I will admit that I hunt all of 138 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: the time without considering at a minimum what Peter thinks. 139 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: For instance, Comu admitted to shooting the deer with a 140 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: crossbow in a neighborhood and the southern BC town of Kelowna. 141 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: He shot the deer and tried to track it through 142 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: his neighbor's yards before leaving it to die in someone's 143 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: flower garden. The optics, let alone the fact that he 144 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: left the deer are definitely not good. It's as if 145 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: Comu was not hunting well considering US hunters, who cares 146 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: about his neighbors. Moving up the coast to Alaska, an 147 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: author in Prolific bow hunter was fine fifteen thousand dollars 148 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: and had his hunting license revoked for three years for 149 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: violating the state's musk Ox hunting rules. Fifty six year 150 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: old Paul Atkins was originally hit with twelve charges for 151 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: keying trophies from a subsistence harvest and claiming residency status 152 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: in both Alaska and Oklahoma simultaneously. Subsistence hunting permits for 153 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: Muskoks are hard to come by, but the state grants 154 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: them to folks who proved that they need to harvest 155 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: the meat for food. In keeping with the purpose of 156 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: the permits, successful hunters must remove the horns within two 157 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: inches of the eye level prior to leaving the kill site. 158 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: This is to discourage hunters from trying to get subsistence 159 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: permits just a bag of trophy. Atkins may have eaten 160 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: all the meat, but he failed to remove the horns. 161 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: He was forced to turn over twenty taxidermy musk ox 162 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: as part of his punishment, moving on to the legislative desk. 163 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: In New Jersey, the mayor of a coastal town called 164 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: Sea Isle City announced a ban on shark fishing from 165 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: the beach, and violators could be fined up to one thousand, 166 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: two U fifty dollars for shark fishing. It's unclear how 167 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: city officials planned to enforce this new ban. After all, 168 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: shark fishing looks a heck of a lot like fishing 169 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: for other species, and anglers can't control what bites their books. 170 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: Anglers can also just move along the beach to another 171 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: municipality if they don't want to worry about being harasked 172 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: for catching a shark. However, the city did make a 173 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: few concrete changes to their fishing rags. Chumming, the use 174 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: of unmanned drones to drop bait, or having the assistance 175 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: of any water vessel will now be prohibited. The band 176 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: was apparently prompted by several shark catches that went viral 177 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: on social media. In Kentucky, the Department of Fish and 178 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: Wildlife Resources has proposed reducing the spring turkey bag limit 179 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: to one bird per hunter per state Wildlife Management area. 180 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: As we've covered several times over the last few months, 181 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: turkey populations are declining all across the country, and state 182 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: wildlife managers are making changes to address this troubling trend. However, 183 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: while I'm in favor of doing what we need to 184 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: do to protect the resource, this new proposal in Kentucky 185 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: doesn't seem equitable. First, it only targets public land hunters, 186 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: which birds have wings, so you know, they don't know 187 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: what offense is, they don't know what property boundaries are, 188 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: they don't have on X And at the same time, 189 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: private land turkey hunters who may border state w m 190 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: a s are still permitted to beg two turkeys under 191 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: this proposed rule. Did I mention you can call to 192 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: turkeys and manipulate them to coming into places that they 193 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: don't want to go anyway. Public land only accounts for 194 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: two percent of the state's overall land mass, and public 195 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: land hunters only account for about three percent of the 196 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: turkey harvest every year. According to the State Chapter of 197 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: back Country Hunters and Anglers, this proposal would only reduce 198 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: next year's turkey harvest by about two hundred and sixteen turkeys, 199 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: or point eight percent of the total harvest. It seems 200 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: like Kentucky maybe regulating public land hunters, not the turkey population. 201 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: Big game hunting seasons are kicking off across us the country, 202 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: so now is a good time to check your state's 203 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: hunting legs to see if anything has changed. And remember, 204 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: just like in Kentucky, we can only change regulations by 205 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: showing up by participating in surveys and public meetings. In Michigan, 206 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: white tail hunters will now be required to report a 207 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: successful harvest within seventy two hours or before transferring possession 208 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: of the deer. Hunters can report their harvests online at 209 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: Michigan dot gov or on the Michigan d n R 210 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: Hunt Fish Mobile app. The DNR believes that This new system, 211 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: which is similar to what other states have, will increase 212 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: hunter participation in reporting, provide vital information to biologists in 213 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: real time, and save the department costs with reduced mailings 214 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: and hard copy surveys. For folks in the other forty 215 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: nine states, most state fish and Game agencies published documents 216 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: listing all the significant changes from the previous year before 217 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: heading out into the field. Get your hands on that 218 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: document to make sure you stay on the right side 219 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: of the law, and you know we don't end up 220 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: covering any discretions here at the weekend review. Moving on 221 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: to the horse desk for it's a mouthful. Earlier this month, 222 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: the Bureau of Land Management announced its intentions to scale 223 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: up roundups of wild horses and burrows from federal arrange lands. 224 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: Once those horse gathers are completed, the BLM will then 225 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: begin increasing its use of fertility controls to further limit 226 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: the population. According to any News, the agency has rounded 227 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: up a record fifteen thousand, forty wild horses and burrows 228 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: since October of last year and permanently removed thirteen thousand, 229 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: nine hundred thirty. The BLM is rounding up the horses 230 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 1: because they say there are too many for federal lands 231 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: to sustain without causing damage to vegetation, soils, and other resources. 232 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: The agency capped population at twenty six thousand, seven five animals. 233 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: Right now, there are eighty two thousand three eighty four 234 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: wild horses and burrows roaming twenty seven million acres of 235 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: federal herd management areas in ten Western states. Of course, 236 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: wild horse advocates aren't happy with government roundups. They believe 237 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: fertility controls are more humane, more effective, and cheaper, and 238 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: have the added benefit of keeping the horses quote wild 239 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: and free. Whereas the BLM appears to agree. They say 240 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: that they plan to cut the horse roundups by more 241 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: than fifty percent next year and increase the use of 242 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: fertility treatments. If you haven't been following this story, you 243 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: might be wondering where these horses came from and where 244 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: they go after the BLM herds them into trailers and corrals. 245 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: The first question is much less controversial than the second. 246 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: Horses were introduced to the Americas in the fift hundreds 247 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: by Spanish explorers. Some of them escaped and became the 248 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: foundation for the wild horses that still roam the western US. 249 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: Even though The horses aren't a native species, just like 250 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: the Sechuan ring neck pheasant. They've been a symbol for 251 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: a long time, but they do not belong here, and 252 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: the BLM is obligated to manage the population in a 253 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: sustainable way. However, with no natural predators, the herds are 254 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: growing by fifteen each year. According to the BLM. This 255 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: is forced the agency to remove some animals if it 256 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: looks like one of the herds is threatening the larger ecosystem. 257 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: The controversy stems from that second question, what do we 258 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: do with all these horses? As of July, the BLM 259 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: was holding fifty eight thousand, eight hundred wild horses and 260 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: burrows in off range corrals and holding facilities. Keeping these 261 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: horses fed and housed cost seventy seven point six million 262 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: in fiscal year two thousand twenty one, which is about 263 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: six of the total wild horse and burrow program budget. 264 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: That's part of what we pay for in our taxes. 265 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: The BLM operates an adoption incentive program to place horses 266 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: in private care, but critics argue that some of these 267 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: horses end up being sold and turned into you know, 268 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: glue or dog food or those things you Yellowstone fans, 269 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: not the park. Well, probably you folks at the park too, 270 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: but you Yellowstone fans, you know the crappy TV show 271 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: that's being called like the Dallas of this Generation. That's right, 272 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: the Dallas of this Generation. For you folks who are 273 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: fans of that show, that's what you're being associated with. Anyway, 274 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: as you folks who have moved out here to Montana 275 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: and bought, you know, twenty acres in the middle of 276 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: Migration Corridor and threw a couple of horses out there 277 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: that were fun to mess around with at first, but 278 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: just start getting really super fat and cost me a 279 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: bunch of tons of money or kind of figuring out 280 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: on your own. Uncared for horses eventually end up at 281 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: slaughter houses because they're expensive and they beat the living 282 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: crap out of the land. Now, wild horse and borrow 283 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: advocates say about eight hundred and forty horses have ended 284 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: up in slaughter houses here in the United States since 285 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: two thousand, nineteen, eight hundred and forty. That is absolutely nothing. 286 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: I'd love to see how many while horses and burrows 287 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: get hit on the interstate and highways in comparison to 288 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: the slaughter house numbers. Horse eating countries are far more 289 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: numerous than horse killing countries. Like a lot of our 290 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: fancy tastes, we leave the killing or you know, quote 291 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: dirty business to a few, but many enjoy the actual 292 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: spoils anyway. China in two thousand eighteen killed about one 293 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: point six million horses. Behind them Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Brazil, Australia, Russia. 294 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: And you know the folks that we like to pick 295 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: on a lot for horse eating France, well you know 296 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: they come in at a very paltry two d and 297 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: fifty thousand animals, not exactly leading the charge. It's true 298 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: that biologists can administer fertility controls with darts, but as 299 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: with every wildlife management issue, the problem and the solution 300 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: isn't as simple as activists would have you believe. Some 301 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: herds are inaccessible and unapproachable except by hell copter. Others 302 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: need to be taken off the landscape before they starve 303 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: or die of thirst and droughts or plugues that hit 304 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: the West every summer. It's a sticky issue with no 305 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: easy solutions, you know, according to some, but the various 306 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: stakeholders are talking the free roaming equids and Ecosystems. Sustainability 307 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: Network is a group of organizations working to sustain healthy 308 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: horse herds and range lands. They seek to enhance communication 309 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: and engage diverse stakeholder groups in meaningful dialogue. They have 310 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: a summit coming up this October, so you know we'll 311 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: all look forward to that. My horse sense says more 312 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: of the same. Moving on to the wolf desk, are 313 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: good friends over at the Center for Biological Diversity or 314 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: CBD submitted a petition this month to withhold federal conservation 315 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: funding from Idaho and Montana. They argue that because these 316 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: states have adopted quote anti wolf legislation, they should be 317 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: barred from receiving millions of dollars that help conserve thousands 318 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: of lance and animals. You know the old saying, don't 319 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: cut off your nose despite your face. This is kind 320 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: of like that. The CBD is asking the US Fish 321 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: and Wildlife Service to cut off all Pittman Robertson funds 322 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: from two huge states because the animal rights groups doesn't 323 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: like their wolf management policies. Very similar to a tactics 324 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,479 Speaker 1: some of are desperate to be reelected have done with 325 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: a proposed firearm legislation CBD is toying with Pittman robertson 326 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: one of the greatest tools for conservation funding we have 327 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: in this country. Side note Montana Representative Matt Rosendale. I'm 328 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: still waiting on a letter email call back. I'm getting 329 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: a real taste of how customer service works in Maryland. Anyway, 330 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: Here's what CBD Legal director Andreas A. Carti said in 331 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: the press release quote Montana and Idaho have relied on 332 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: anti wolf rhetoric to pass aggressive laws permitting the widespread 333 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: slaughter of wolves with zero basis in ethics or science. 334 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: These new laws run completely contrary to conservation goal and 335 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: they should disqualify bull states from receiving conservation funding. I 336 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: wasn't a big fan of these wolf management bills. I 337 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: think wildlife management should be left to the biologists in 338 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: fishing game agencies, not politicians in state legislatures. The policies 339 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: themselves weren't supported by the states wildlife biologists, and that's 340 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 1: a huge problem. But cutting off all federal conservation funding 341 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: would hurt wolves just as much as it would hurt 342 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: every other wild animal in these two states. In two 343 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 1: thousand twenty, Montana received twenty three million in federal grants 344 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: to conserve habitat and wildlife. Montana's entire budget for that 345 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: year was about ninety million, meaning federal dollars account for 346 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: twenty of the annual income. It's the same story in Idaho, 347 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: where Pittman, Robertson and Dingle Johnson money represents about fifteen 348 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: percent of the state's fishing game budget. Moving on to 349 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: the medical desk, if you're a deer hunter, you're probably 350 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: familiar with the disease known as epizoodic hemorrhage disease or 351 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: e h D. E h D is caused by two 352 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: virus strands that infect white tailed deer, mule deer, and reindeer. 353 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: H D is transmitted by tiny biting flies, most commonly 354 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,959 Speaker 1: known as no sums or gnats, and the quick acting 355 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: ailment has been the cause of significant mortality events. Until now, 356 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: there has been no treatment or cure. Frost kills the 357 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: flies in late fall, which usually ends the seasonal outbreaks, 358 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: But just this month, the Indiana State Board of Animal 359 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: Health announced that an experimental vaccine is currently being tested 360 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: on captive deer herds in the state. Thanks to Wade 361 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: Peterson for sending this one in the vaccine is being 362 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: developed by an outfit called med Gene Labs, and despite 363 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: having a name that could come straight out of a 364 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: Marvel comic book, they've been generating data from the vaccine 365 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: since two thousand sixteen, and in two thousand twenty they 366 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: began working with a vet in Missouri to test its 367 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: efficacy on young deer fons. They've vaccinated ten fawns, all 368 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: of which generated and in une response strong enough to 369 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: kill the virus. The vaccine is still considered experimental, but 370 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: Madgin Labs is making it available to captive deer herds 371 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: upon request and approval from the owners. Of course, e 372 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: h D isn't the real boogeyman in the deer management world. 373 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: That honor goes to another acronym. I'm sure I don't 374 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: even have to repeat Chronic wasting disease or c w D. 375 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: C w D is still a major problem, and as 376 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: we look forward to the upcoming deer season, it's a 377 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: great time to, you know, think about how much we 378 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 1: appreciate getting out the deer woods. So maybe contact your 379 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: senators about the Chronic Wasting Disease Research and Management Act. 380 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: This bill would provide seventy million dollars annually to be 381 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: spent on c w D research and management. It's by 382 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: far and away our country's biggest investment to date in 383 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: limiting the diseases spread, and it's already been passed by 384 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 1: the U. S. House. It's currently being considered by the 385 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: Senate Agricultural Committee, and supporters are asking more senators to 386 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: become co sponsors so we can pass set by the 387 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: end of the year. So stop what you're doing, pause 388 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: this podcast and call your senator asked them to become 389 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: a co sponsor of the Chronic Wasting Disease Research and 390 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: Management Act. Hopefully, before too long, I'll be reporting about 391 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: an effective c w D vaccine thanks to you. Moving 392 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: on to the fishing desk. Will end today on a 393 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: positive note. Lake sturgeon are making a comeback in Georgia. 394 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: The prehistoric fish was wiped out in the Coosa River 395 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: in the seventies, but researchers with the University of Georgia 396 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: recently found evidence that female sturgeon are once again reproducing 397 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: in the river. Historically, the Cousa River basin was the 398 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: only place lake sturgeon could be found in the state. 399 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: They were extirpated due to poor water quality and over harvesting. 400 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: Both the fish and its eggs were highly sought for food. 401 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: The reintroduction efforts began around two thousand two when the 402 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: Georgia d n R took sturgeon from Wisconsin and put 403 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: them in the Couster system. They felt they would be 404 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: successful because the Clean Water Act had made the habitat 405 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: livable and harvest bands would ensure the fish weren't over 406 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: fished again. But here's the thing about sturgeon. It takes 407 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: twenty years for the females to reach sexual maturity. So 408 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: even though the Georgia d n R stock sturgeon in 409 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: the river system every year, they weren't sure whether the 410 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 1: fish would be healthy enough to reproduce. Now it looks 411 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: like they have their answer. A University of Georgia research 412 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: team led by Professor Marty Hamill recently discovered three females 413 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: carrying mature eggs ready to be fertilized. Good news for 414 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: you sturgeon males. It's the first time anybody has found 415 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: a sexually mature female since the reintroduction program begam Bad 416 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: news for you females. As Hamil explained, it means the 417 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: fish are ready to spawn now. Researchers are trying to 418 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: catch as many lake sturgeon as they can this summer 419 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: to get a sense of how many fish there are, 420 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: how old they are, and where they like to live. 421 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: This info will be crucial as they continue to build 422 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: the sturgeon population until hopefully it's healthy enough to be 423 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: fish sustainably. Sturgeon or fish with an exo skeleton super 424 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: cool whiskers. They eat old wide variety of things, from 425 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: nightcrawlers to dead fish, prehistoric creatures swimming in our waters 426 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: that we literally could and will eliminate from the earth 427 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: if we aren't careful. They taste great, they fight like 428 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: hell on a rotten reel, and are the largest freshwater 429 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: fish swimming in the United States. Sounds like something we 430 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: should take care of. Huh. That's all I've got for 431 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: you this week.
