1 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: From Mediators World News headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: Cal's weekend review, presented by Steel. Steel products are available 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: only at authorized dealers. For more, go to Steel Dealers 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: dot com. Now Here's your host, Ryan cal Callahan. 5 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 2: A family of three was found dead at a remote 6 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: Colorado campsite last month, after relatives say the trio was 7 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 2: trying to live off the grid. Forty two year old 8 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 2: Rebecca Vance, her fourteen year old son, and her forty 9 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: one year old sister, Christina Vance, were found partially mummified 10 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: in the Gunnison National Forest after a hikers stumbled across 11 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 2: their tent in early July. Officials believe they'd likely been 12 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: camping since July of last year and may have died 13 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 2: during the winter. Their relatives say they had grown distrustful 14 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: of the media and the modern world during the COVID 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: nineteen pandemic, and they were hoping to escape the dangers 16 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: of modern society. But they reportedly had very little outdoor experience, 17 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 2: and they found another set of dangers in the woods. 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: Travala Jara, the sister of the two women, told The 19 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 2: Washington Posts they were relying on YouTube videos and online 20 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: research to survive by themselves. They rejected offers to use 21 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 2: an RV and a generator and instead tried to build 22 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 2: a lean to shelter. They were surviving on canned food, soup, 23 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: and other prepackaged items, but they were unable to complete 24 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: an insulated shelter by winter. The local corner thinks they 25 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: may have died due to starvation or extreme cold, but 26 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: an official cause of death hasn't been announced. Jarra says 27 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 2: her sisters refused to tell her where they'd be, so 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: when she didn't hear from them for several months, she 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 2: wasn't able to find them. If you're going out into 30 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: the woods, even if it's to live off the grid 31 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: and away from society, it may be a good idea 32 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: to let at least someone know where you'll be. It 33 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: could be the thing that saves your life when your 34 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: off grid life doesn't pan out. This week, we've got 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: the crime desk legislation getting the let out and I 36 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 2: don't mean Zeppelin. But first I'm going to tell you 37 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: about my week. In my week, you know, it was packed, 38 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: as per usual. One of the most interesting and important 39 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: things to happen was an order to deny a stay 40 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: requested by the plaintiff, Iron Bar Holdings in the Wyoming 41 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 2: Corner Crossing case. That case, of course, has already been 42 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 2: judged once, but if you recall, Iron Bar Holdings has 43 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: filed an appeal, that appeal process will hopefully happen sometime 44 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 2: this year. The Tenth Circuit Court meets again in September. 45 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: A stay of opinion is a request that can be 46 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: made which essentially puts the original ruling on hold. In 47 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: this instance, the stay was requested to be in place 48 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: until the case could be reheard in the appeals court. 49 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 2: Just as Skovdaal in his judgment to deny the request 50 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 2: for a stay of opinion, lays out the reasons one 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: could be granted a stay and then goes through each 52 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: of those reasons and explains why he chose to deny 53 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: the request. We're going to dig into this a whole 54 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: lot deeper, as it is really interesting, but the takeaway 55 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: that everyone should keep in mind is literally written into 56 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: the end of the judge's order quote the actions of 57 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: a few can ruin the opportunities for many, meaning that 58 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 2: had the Missouri Corner Crossers behaved in any way other 59 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: than respectful law biting and courteous, the stay of judgment 60 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 2: could have been granted, and the outlook on corner crossing 61 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 2: a lot more dubious than it is right now. Hunting 62 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: season is coming right up our tree. Antelope is down 63 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: near here. In Montana, fall bear seasons rapidly approach. Early 64 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: wilderness hunts, even depredation private land elk hunts start within 65 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: a few days of listening to this podcast. Remember that 66 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: everyone is excited for seasons and opportunities to start. Be patient, 67 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: be polite, and if you are in Wyoming and you 68 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: do intend to corner cross, be darn sure to know 69 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: where you are. Know that rudeness for behavior or any 70 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: intent other than moving from public ground to public ground 71 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: could derail a more straightforward future with non confrontational public 72 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: access to public land for all of us. Please take 73 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: a minute to read the order to deny the stay. 74 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: We'll have it up at the meat eater dot com 75 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: forward slash col There's some really great lines in there, 76 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 2: if I do say so myself, And if you're in 77 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 2: or near Wyoming and want to be more informed, TRCP 78 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: and Wyoming BHA are hosting a series of listening sessions 79 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 2: around the state.

As many 90 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 2: of you are aware, I am on the International Board 91 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: for Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. Our longtime leader, President and CEO, 92 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: Lantani of BHA, has stepped down after ten plus years 93 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: at the Helm Land was able to accomplish in just 94 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,119 Speaker 2: five short years what most people said could not be done, 95 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: grow a grassroots, member driven organization from just a handful 96 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: of people to over fifty thousand members strong. BHA participates 97 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: in stewardship projects, access projects, habitat restoration, but possibly what 98 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: we're the best known for is advocacy on behalf of 99 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 2: our wild places, our hunting and angling rights and access 100 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: to wild places. We're one of the very few organizations 101 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: out there that will take anyone who is interested and 102 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 2: give you the tools to be the best possible advocate 103 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 2: for the things you love and your family loves to 104 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: go out and do on the weekends or during those 105 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: precious weeks of paid VAKA. If you are interested in applying, 106 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 2: go to Backcountry hunters dot org, forward slash Careers and 107 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: here's a fun fact for you. If you choose to 108 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: pursue this and get the job, I would then get 109 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 2: to be one of your bosses. Doesn't that sound like fun? 110 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:33,119 Speaker 2: Are we having fun yet? Moving on to the crime desk, 111 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 2: seven men were charged in Illinois last week for killing 112 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 2: more than twenty wild turkeys with AR fifteen rifles equipped 113 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 2: with thermal optics and suppressors. A twenty eight year old 114 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 2: ironically named hunter Baxter and his thirty eight year old buddy, 115 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: Dustin Goldsmith, face the worst of the charges, including several felonies. 116 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: Their five hunting buddies were also charged with misdemeanors in 117 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: connection to this poaching operation, and between the seven of them, 118 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: they face a wopping sixty three charges. If these yahos 119 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: were using thermal optics to hunt turkeys, that means they 120 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: were probably shooting them out of trees at night while 121 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: the birds slept. As I've said many times on this podcast, 122 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: I really don't have anything wrong with shooting the bird 123 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: out of a tree, if you know, if that's your 124 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: means of getting meat in a limited time frame. However, 125 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 2: shooting probably solid core amo cheap two two three stuff 126 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: into the air is not a good thing, would be 127 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: very dangerous in fact. Jumping over to California, the National 128 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: Park Service is investigating the mysterious death of five burrows 129 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: in Death Valley National Park. The wild donkeys had all 130 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: been shot in the lower wild Rose area of the park, 131 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: and officials aren't sure who did it or why. Like 132 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,239 Speaker 2: wild horses or mustangs, burrows are not native to North America. 133 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: They were brought in by Spaniards in the fifteen hundreds, 134 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: and they can damage sensitive ecosystems and compete for food 135 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: with native animals like bighorn sheep. Despite these downside the 136 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: US Congress passed a law in nineteen seventy one designating 137 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: wild horses and burrows as quote living symbols of the 138 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: historic and pioneer spirit of the West. Federal agencies are 139 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: now in the difficult position of having to protect these 140 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: invasive animals while also keeping them from destroying native habitat. 141 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: This is not to say anyone is justified in gunning 142 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: down wild donkeys in a national park, but it is 143 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: true that burrows, despite what you may have heard from 144 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: at least one famous green ogre, are not entirely harmless. 145 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: We could see I late swapping manless stars, and in 146 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: the morning. 147 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm making waffles. 148 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: Speaking of mysteries, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is 149 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: searching for the person who killed six elk last week 150 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 2: and left them to waste. The carcasses of one bowl, 151 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: three cows, and two calves were found in Boyd County, 152 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: in the northern part of the state. Elk's season does 153 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: not start until August first, and there was no attempt 154 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 2: to salvage any part of the animals. A two thousand 155 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 2: dollars reward is being offered for information that leads to 156 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 2: an arrest, and tips can be submitted anonymously by calling 157 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: one eight hundred seven four two seven six two seven. 158 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: Thanks to listener Jonathan greedy for sending us that story. 159 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: The US Fish and Wildlife Service plans to indict to 160 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 2: Alaska men for their role in running an illegal bear 161 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 2: guiding service that offered clients prostitutes and the chance to 162 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 2: profit from selling bear gallbladders. That's right, prostitutes and gall bladders. 163 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: Buckle up, folks. Investigators say that John Lang, who went 164 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: by the English name Harry, advertised his supposed guiding services 165 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: on a Chinese language app called Little Red Book. His 166 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 2: clients were mostly other Chinese nationals who would travel to 167 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 2: Alaska for the chance to kill brown bear. This scheme 168 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: caught the attention of Homeland Security, and they sent agents 169 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 2: to contact Lang and pretend to be clients. Lang charged 170 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: them each thirty thousand for the hunt, and he immediately 171 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: used some of that money to buy himself a Mercedes SUV. 172 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: He got the undercover agent's bear tags by pretending that 173 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: another man, Alaska resident Brian Falon, was the brother in 174 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 2: law of the two agents. He set up the agents 175 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 2: in a hunting blind for four days, during which time 176 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 2: they unsurprisingly saw no bears. But he did offer to 177 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 2: secure prostitutes for the two agents and said he'd sell 178 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 2: them a bear gallbladder for five thousand. Bear gallbladders have 179 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. 180 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 2: There's a big market for them in Asia, and we've 181 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: referenced them before here on the show. Anyway, long story short, 182 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: both Lang and Phelan have been arrested in June, and 183 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 2: Lang was charged with attempted violation of the Lacy Act, 184 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 2: illegal possession of a firearm by an alien, wire fraud, 185 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 2: money laundering, and several others. If you'd like more of 186 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 2: the interesting deats, check out the article by Eli Fournier 187 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 2: on the medieater dot com. The father of an NFL 188 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 2: player admitted last week to killing a bald eagle that 189 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 2: had been living in a Pittsburgh suburb. The US Attorney's 190 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 2: Office announced that fifty year old to Rodney Thomas had 191 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 2: been indicted by a grand jury for violating the Bald 192 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: and Golden Eagle Protection Act. His son, Rodney Thomas, the second, 193 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 2: is a safety for the Indian Apple Colts. There are 194 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 2: one million jokes I could tell about how the elder 195 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: Thomas clearly has a problem with the Philadelphia Eagles, another 196 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: NFL team, But I'm going to restrain myself You're welcome anyway. 197 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: Thomas reportedly turned himself in shortly after killing the bird 198 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 2: with an air rifle in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania. The bird 199 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: was one of a pair that had been nesting in 200 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: the area for the last twenty years. The eagles had 201 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: raised several clutches of eaglets over the decades and were 202 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 2: a favorite spectacle for local residents. It is unclear at 203 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 2: this point what motivated the killing, but residents have been 204 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 2: angry that the name of the perpetrator wasn't released for 205 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: more than two months. I have serious doubts that being 206 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: the father of an NFL safety gets you much special treatment, 207 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: but I suppose stranger things have happened. In Texas, a 208 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: Carnes County game warden was called to the scene of 209 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: a man lying on the ground next to a dead deer. 210 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 2: But the man wasn't dead. In fact, he wasn't even injured, 211 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 2: at least not seriously. The witness who found the man 212 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 2: had heard a shot from nearby road and yelled to 213 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: ask the shooter what he was doing. The shooter, who 214 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: turned out to be a poacher, and the aforementioned prone individual, 215 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: ran into the woods. He later told the game warden 216 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: that he'd had a few beers and decided to take 217 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 2: home some venison. The beers convinced him that poaching was 218 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: a good idea, and apparently that he might be able 219 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: to get away with it by playing possum, which brings 220 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 2: up the true victim here, possums. Possums eat ticks, they 221 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 2: can get bitten repeatedly by rattlesnakes and live. We can 222 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: get anti venom from them. They're super cool critters. They 223 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: should not be brought up in the same sentence as 224 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: a no good, dirty down poacher. Moving on to the 225 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: AMMO desk. The US Fishing Wildlife Service that made waves 226 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: last month when they announced a plan to phase out 227 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: the use of lead tackle and ammunition at eight National 228 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: Wildlife refuges, but state agencies are also making changes to 229 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: how hunters are allowed to use lead ammunition. The Minnesota 230 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: Department of Natural Resources announced this month that led ammunition 231 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 2: and will be banned on certain state owned lands starting 232 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 2: this fall. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is justifying 233 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 2: the decision based on their fear that animals like eagles, ravens, hawks, 234 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 2: and bobcats will ingest lead fragments from bullets. In addition, 235 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 2: they say lead ammunition left on the landscape can leach 236 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: into soil and waters. The ammunition ban is limited to 237 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 2: special hunts in state parks and recreation areas or scientific 238 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 2: and natural areas where hunting is allowed. The DNAR explains 239 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 2: that quote, hunting is not a primary purpose of state 240 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 2: parks and SNAs unless hunting is consistent with or helps 241 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 2: manage the natural resources in those areas. The band does 242 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 2: not apply to state park youth deer hunts in the 243 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: shotgun zones as long as hunters remove all parts of 244 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 2: harvested deer, including the entrails. This exception was made quote 245 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: due to shortages in certain ammunition types. The good news 246 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 2: for folks who like traditional lead ammo is that these 247 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: areas represent less than ten percent of dn R managed 248 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: lands in Minnesota. Ammunition will not be limited on wildlie 249 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: life management areas and state forests, which is where most 250 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: of the state public hunting takes place. Still, the agency 251 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 2: is not claiming to be banning led to address any 252 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: specific issue. They're not claiming that led ammunition is having 253 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 2: population wide effects on any of the species they list 254 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 2: in their press release. Given this lack of specificity, I'm 255 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: not sure why they wouldn't roll out lead AMMO bans 256 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: on other state lands in the coming years. The state 257 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 2: of New York also announced a multi year initiative to 258 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: study the impact of led ammunition on bald eagles. The 259 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: press release by the state's Department of Environmental Conservation admits 260 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 2: that the bald eagle population is quote doing well in 261 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: New York. Despite this conservation's success, they're still looking for 262 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 2: hunters to participate in a study to investigate quote the 263 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: reduction in bald and golden eagle deaths that can be 264 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: achieved from increased use of non lead ammunition for deer hunting. 265 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: They're offering a sixty dollars rebate on non lead ammunition 266 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 2: or non lead bullets for hunters who participate in pre 267 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: and post hunt surveys this coming fall. Only hunters who 268 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: were issued a deer management permit in certain wildlife management 269 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: units are eligible to participate, and the DEEC says it 270 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: plans to offer the rebate through twenty twenty four and 271 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five seasons. The state currently allows hunters to 272 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 2: use lead ammunition on state land, but the legislature is 273 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: considering a bill that would ban it. A recent study 274 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 2: found that lead ammunition could be harming adult bald eagles 275 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: in the state between the years nineteen ninety and twenty eighteen. 276 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 2: The study estimates that lead killed one to two birds 277 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: a year, but the eagle population in those years rose 278 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: from twenty six to seven hundred and thirty eight, and 279 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: they did not find that lead affected eaglet survival rates. 280 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 2: They admit that their findings cannot be extrapolated to the 281 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 2: entire state, which is likely why the DC announced this 282 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 2: new initiative. If you'd like to participate and get your 283 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 2: free box and non lead ammo, we'll post a link 284 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: at the meat eater dot com forward slash col We 285 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 2: talked about lead and raptors a lot. This is a 286 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 2: personal decision. I don't think the state should be weighing 287 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: in on, particularly when raptors in these areas are on 288 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: the rise on a population level, But as an individual, 289 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 2: we make individual decisions. A big benefit to me for 290 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 2: shooting solid copper ammo is the fact that I kill 291 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 2: one thing that I intend to kill, versus having a 292 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 2: bunch of carrying eaters fly in there and fly away 293 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 2: with leading their gut and then they're highly acidic stomachs, 294 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 2: give them lead poisoning right away and they die a 295 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 2: painful death. Again, that's an individual decision, and I can 296 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: afford the non lead AMMO. There are other ways of 297 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: disposing carcasses that will have the same effect as shooting 298 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 2: copper AMMO. So if you're in a place where you're 299 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: taking stuff to a landfill or able to bury it 300 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 2: something like that, then you're in the clear. Moving on 301 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: to the extraction desk. Speaking of controversial policies, the Bureau 302 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: of Land Management announced last week that it will raise 303 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: the cost for oil and gas companies to drill on 304 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 2: federal public land. Starting in the year twenty thirty two, 305 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 2: oil companies will pay sixteen point sixty seven percent of 306 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 2: their revenue to the federal government, up from the current 307 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 2: twelve and a half percent. Rents are also rising. Under 308 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 2: the current system, companies have to pay one dollar and 309 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: fifty cents per acre each year for the first five 310 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 2: years of a lease, and two dollars per acre per 311 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 2: year after that. The new system will encourage companies to 312 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 2: relinquish leases by charging three dollars per acre per year 313 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 2: during the first two years, five dollars per acre per 314 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 2: year for the following six years, and then fifteen dollars 315 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 2: per acre for every year after year eight. The BLM 316 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 2: argues that this new leasing structure modernizes a program that 317 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 2: was developed sixty years ago. They also frame it as 318 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 2: a way to provide a fair return to taxpayers, who, 319 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 2: after all, own the land on which the oil and 320 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 2: gas companies are working. Whether those taxpayers see any benefit 321 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: from that increased revenue is another question, but the money 322 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 2: is to fund federal and state programs that benefit everyone. 323 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 2: As you can imagine, oil and gas companies aren't happy. 324 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 2: The American Petroleum Institute released a statement slamming the Biden 325 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 2: administration for adding barriers to future energy production during a 326 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: global energy crisis. The rule will increase costs and uncertainty 327 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 2: for producers, and it will hurt our country's ability to 328 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: independently meet our energy needs. Though the BLM doesn't mention 329 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 2: climate change anywhere in its press release, opponents of the 330 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 2: new rule say it's a thinly veiled attempt to cut 331 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 2: oil production and advance the president's climate change agenda. I 332 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 2: know this issue is larger than wildlife and habitat, but 333 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 2: this is a conservation podcast, so that's what I focus 334 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: on From that perspective, this new rule checks a few 335 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 2: positive boxes. For one thing, As the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation 336 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 2: Partnership points out, increasing rental rates will cut down on 337 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 2: something called speculative leasing. When rental rates are low, oil 338 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 2: and gas companies lease land with no real potential for 339 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 2: economic viable oil and gas production. They aren't likely to drill, 340 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: but they want to reserve the land just in case 341 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: they might in the future. According to the TRCP, this 342 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 2: prevents the BLM from being able to effectively manage that 343 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 2: land for other important, multiple uses that may not be 344 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: compatible with the oil and gas. The rule addresses this 345 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 2: issue by raising the rental rates and by prioritizing leasing 346 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 2: in places with existing oil and gas infrastructure or high 347 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 2: production potential. Remember, other leasing operations out there right can 348 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 2: include public land outfitters, grazing operations, and you know, ideally 349 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 2: sometime in the future habitat work. In addition, the BLM 350 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 2: is raising the amount of money oil companies have to 351 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: pay up front to cover the cost of cleaning up 352 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 2: well if they abandon it. This is called the bond, 353 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 2: and it was set in nineteen sixty at ten thousand 354 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 2: for each lease The new bond amount will be one 355 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars for a single lease or 356 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 2: five hundred thousand dollars for a statewide lease. This will 357 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 2: hopefully disincentivize companies from abandoning wells and make sure taxpayers 358 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 2: don't have to foot the bill for a well cleanup. 359 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 2: And since we all know that the wheel of time 360 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: grinds slowly in federal agencies, I think it's good if 361 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: we don't have to rely on the FEDS to clean 362 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 2: up oil wells. Whatever you think about this new rule, 363 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 2: you have a chance to share your thoughts. There will 364 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: be a sixty day comment period during which folks can 365 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 2: submit online comments, and the agency is also planning a 366 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 2: series of public meetings. The details on those haven't been 367 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 2: published yet, but will be sure to get those on 368 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,959 Speaker 2: the meat eater dot com forward slash call as soon 369 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: as they are. I do want to ask you this 370 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 2: in regards to this, to anybody pays attention to real estate, 371 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 2: have you ever come across a deal where you can 372 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 2: lease ground for three dollars per acre a year for 373 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 2: two years, or five dollars per acre a year for 374 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: six years, and then fifteen dollars per acre for every 375 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: year after that. No, the answer is no, you have not. 376 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 2: That seems darn cheap, and that's the increased rates. Moving 377 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 2: on to the legislative desk. In South Dakota, the Game, 378 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 2: Fish and Parks Commission is considering expanding the areas in 379 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: which hound hunters can go after mountain lions. Current South 380 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 2: Dakota regulations limit lion hunting with hounds to Custer State Park. 381 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 2: One of these petitions could expand hound hunting to all 382 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: public land outside the fire protection District without the need 383 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: to start on private land. The other would expand hound 384 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: hunting to the fire protection district of the Black Hills. 385 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: These opportunities would be for residents only, and the harvest 386 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 2: would be limited to six males and six females. Petitioners 387 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 2: argue that the state lion population is robust and growing, 388 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 2: and hound hunting would encourage lions to stay away from humans. 389 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 2: The Commission agreed to adopt the second petition that would 390 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: expand hunting to the Black Hills, and they send it 391 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 2: to the Game, Fish and Parks Department for suggested changes. 392 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 2: They'll consider those suggestions and make a final decision at 393 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: their October fifth meeting in Deadwood, South Dakota hound hunters. 394 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: This is your chance to do what almost no other 395 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 2: states are doing. Expand the use of hunting dogs. Don't 396 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 2: let it slip away. Get in touch with Game, Fish 397 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 2: and Parks Commission and let them know how you feel. 398 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,959 Speaker 2: We'll post contact info at themeadeater dot com forward slash 399 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 2: cal The House Appropriations Committee passed a bill that would 400 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 2: cut the budgets of the Interior Department and related agencies 401 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: by a whopping thirty five percent from last year. For example, 402 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 2: the bill would cut the Bureau of Land Management budget 403 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 2: by eighteen percent, the US Fish and Wildlife Service budget 404 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 2: by thirteen percent, in the National Park Service by thirteen percent. 405 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 2: The Environmental Protection Agency would lose the most. The bill 406 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 2: cuts the EPA's budget by thirty nine percent, including a 407 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 2: twenty six percent reduction in environmental programs and management. The 408 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 2: US Forest Service is one of the only agencies that 409 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 2: receives a raise. They'll get nine hundred and forty nine 410 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 2: million dollars more than last year, most of which will 411 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 2: be used to manage wildfires. The one hundred and eighty 412 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 2: six page bill also includes a a ton of provisions 413 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: that have nothing to do with money. For example, it 414 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: prohibits listing the lesser prairie chicken under the Endangered Species Act, 415 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 2: requires the Department of the Interior to reissue the twenty 416 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 2: twenty rule delisting the gray wolf, and prohibits introduction of 417 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: grizzly bears in the North Cascades ecosystem. It also prohibits 418 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 2: the regulation of lead content in ammunition and fishing tackle, 419 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 2: and blocks restrictions on hunting, fishing, and recreational shooting on 420 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 2: federal lands. In addition, it would force the BLM to 421 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: rescind their latest Conservation Lease rule and rescind Biden Administration's 422 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 2: latest clean water rule. The bill does a lot of things, 423 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 2: some good, some bad, but it's unlikely to pass both 424 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 2: chambers of Congress in its current form. The House Appropriations 425 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: Committee passed the bill on a thirty three to twenty 426 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 2: seven party line vote, Republicans in favor and Democrats against. 427 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: The Democrat controlled Senate passed their own version of this bill, 428 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 2: and you can probably guess that it looked much different. 429 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 2: Most agencies received more money than last year, including a 430 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 2: four million dollar raise for the EPA. The final version 431 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 2: of the bill will be some sort of compromise. Both 432 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 2: appropriations bills emphasize and fund wildfire suppression. Hopefully that means 433 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 2: by being proactive with good forest management outside of wildfire season. 434 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 2: That's all I've got for you this week. Thank you 435 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 2: so much for listening as per usual, right in to 436 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 2: ask c A L.
