And so maybe we should think about what 170 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 5: the long term future of these last places should be 171 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 5: you know, long story short. 172 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 4: What that led to was the Roadless Rule. 173 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 5: It was a very long process, you know, almost two years, 174 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 5: hundreds of public meetings, one point six million public comments 175 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 5: put in from the public in regards to whether or 176 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 5: not this is a good idea and how we. 177 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 4: Should go about it. 178 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 5: All that led to this rule being created enacted, and 179 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 5: it protected about fifty eight point five million acres of 180 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 5: our national forest system in a relatively unroaded way. So 181 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 5: there were exceptions baked into this rule that allowed for 182 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 5: some roads to be built in these places if there 183 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 5: was you know, need for wildfire mitigation and management. There 184 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 5: were exceptions put into this rule that would allow some 185 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 5: new road building in the case of wildlife habitat improvement 186 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 5: projects being needed. But in general, this fifty eight point 187 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 5: five million acres of national forests would not be the 188 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 5: home for new roads, so it would leave this area 189 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 5: and they relatively undeveloped, relatively intact, relatively unfragmented state. And 190 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 5: it has been in that state for you know, twenty 191 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 5: four years now. And these places are some of our 192 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 5: you know, our best, our last best backcountry elk hunting spots, 193 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 5: mule deer hunting spots, you know, high country trout spots. 194 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 5: I went on my two kids at the time, they 195 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 5: were four and six. I think it was their first 196 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 5: backpacking trip with both of them, or maybe the three 197 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 5: and five that was in one of our inventory roadless areas. 198 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 5: I killed my first elk on an inventoried roadless area. 199 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 5: So long story short, these are really really special places, 200 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 5: and they're in the news right now because the administration 201 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 5: has proposed removing that rule entirely, rolling back all of 202 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 5: those protections. So that's the high level scoop. That's what 203 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 5: the roadless rule is. That's why it's in the news 204 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 5: right now. 205 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: Gotcha. And so what are the I guess what are 206 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 2: the main arguments on both sides of the issue. What's 207 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 2: the rationale for You've laid out a bit of about 208 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 2: the benefits of these roadless areas for hunters and anglers, 209 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: but what's the rationale for rolling it back. 210 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, so in the proposal in the you know, in 211 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 5: all of the press releases and comments from the administration, 212 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 5: from the Secretary of Agriculture, the reason for rolling back 213 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 5: the roadless rule has supposedly been to to help you know, 214 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 5: move forward with President Trump's executive order to expand timber 215 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 5: production and then also to better manage our forests. There's 216 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 5: been a lot of talk about the fact that, you know, 217 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 5: our forests have been undermanaged. 218 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 4: They have you know, too much. 219 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 5: Fuel for wildfire, so wildfire risk is high, the habitat 220 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 5: isn't as good for wildlife, We're not producing as much 221 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 5: timber as maybe we have in the past, and so 222 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 5: the argument is that if we roll back the roadless rule, 223 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 5: that will fix all of that. 224 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 4: That's why they say they should roll this rule back. 225 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 5: On the flip side, advocates for the rule, which include 226 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 5: most all environmental and conservation groups, most hunting and fishing 227 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 5: groups that I've seen, have all been coming out very 228 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 5: strongly in support of the rule. The reason why we 229 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 5: think the rollless rule should stick around is because, as 230 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 5: I mentioned, this is protecting some of our last best 231 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 5: hunting and fishing places. This is protecting, you know, some 232 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 5: of our last unfragmented wildlife habitat for so many species, 233 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 5: whether it be species we hunt fish or endangered and 234 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 5: threatened species. We do not have very many of these 235 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 5: places that are not already broken up and separated and 236 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 5: bifurcated by roads and open to develop. So this is 237 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 5: something that is pretty rarely days. As I mentioned, there 238 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 5: are exceptions already for wildfire management and for habitat management. 239 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 5: Trout Unlimited has done a great job of starting to 240 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 5: quantify this. If you go to their website, they've got 241 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 5: an interactive map that showcases where these inventory roadless areas 242 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 5: are and what kinds of management management efforts have been 243 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 5: happening there. So significant wildfire mitigation efforts have been underway 244 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 5: in these places. So it's it's false to say that 245 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 5: these places have not had any management or any work 246 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 5: done on them. But certainly, you know, there's an argument 247 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 5: to be made that our national forces absolutely can and 248 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 5: should be managed better. We do need to manage for 249 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 5: fire risk, we do need to manage for wildlife habitat. 250 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 4: And I think there's you know, two things to consider. 251 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 5: One, a lot of that should be happening not in 252 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 5: our back country roadless areas, but up in the wildland 253 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 5: urban interface where there already are roads. Something like eighty 254 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 5: or eighty five percent of all of our wildfires are 255 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 5: started by us, first off, and I think it's ninety 256 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 5: percent of the fires on our National Forest start within 257 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 5: a half mile of a road. 258 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 4: So roads typically are what leads. 259 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 5: To wildfires igniting and started. That's where the stuff's happening 260 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 5: a lot of the time, and the places that we 261 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 5: want to protect from fire, homes, human development. You know, 262 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 5: that stuff's not in these roadless areas is up on 263 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 5: that what they call it the the wildline urban interface. 264 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 4: So the wouie, I think is what people refer to 265 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 4: that as. 266 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: Who could forget? 267 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 4: What's that? 268 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: Who could forget that? 269 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 4: The WOOI yeah, the wooie. 270 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 5: So, yeah, we need to have management that can be 271 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 5: done in these places that are not in our inventory 272 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 5: roldless areas it should be. There's plenty of challenges to 273 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 5: that that can be addressed, and maybe there are ways 274 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 5: we can improve the roadless rule. I think there's room 275 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 5: for enhancing it, fixing it, finding more ways for more 276 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 5: of these exceptions to be created for temporary roads, to 277 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 5: do more of this careful management in the right ways. 278 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 5: I think there's a conversation to be had there and 279 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 5: a lot of conservation and hunting and fish organizations I 280 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 5: think would be happy to engage in that. But this 281 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 5: wholesale rollback of all of it that would eliminate all 282 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 5: of these you know, carefully managed and protected places that 283 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 5: benefit a lot of folks and a lot of wildlife 284 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 5: and a lot of user bases. That seems the wrong 285 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 5: way to go about this, at least my two cents 286 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 5: on the matter. 287 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 2: Sure, are there specific regions or forests where this debate 288 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: is particularly heated, like areas of the country that are 289 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 2: going to be affected more than others. 290 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, So there are inventoried roadless areas, which are what 291 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 5: we call these places that the roadless road applies to. 292 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 5: There are iras inventory roadless areas and thirty nine different 293 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 5: states from west coast to east, but the vast majority 294 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 5: of these spots are in the ten Western states, and 295 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 5: Alaska in particular, with the Tongus National Forest has probably 296 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 5: the largest impacted zone. The Tongas has about just over 297 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 5: nine million acres of roadless area there. So that would 298 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 5: make a huge uh, This would be a really big 299 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 5: deal if the roadless role was rescinded, especially up there 300 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 5: in the Tongas where you have you know, there were 301 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 5: a lot of roads built back in the day to 302 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 5: start developing the Tongas, and that has you know, for example, 303 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 5: really really impacted salmon and steelhead runs up there because 304 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 5: every one of these roads has culverts crossing hundreds and 305 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 5: hundreds of different streams, and that's a major issue now 306 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 5: that I know that Trod and Limited has been working 307 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 5: on for years trying to you know, fix culverts and 308 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 5: open up passageway for fish through these many, many different roadways. 309 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 4: So there's a lot to be discussed there in Alaska. 310 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 5: I know, for example, you know, in Wyoming and Montana, 311 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 5: some of my favorite places that I've spent time in, 312 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 5: those could possibly be impacted. So if you live in 313 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 5: the West especially, this is something you should be paying 314 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 5: attention to. But I know in New Hampshire, in North Carolina, 315 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 5: in Michigan, all those states have less areas that could 316 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 5: be impacted as well. 317 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 2: Gotcha? And what should people who care about public lands 318 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: access and conservation be watching for as this issue develops? 319 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 2: Where do things stand right now?

Yeah, he's 364 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 6: out of the office. So he did us a big 365 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 6: favor jumping in. 366 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 2: So's he's on a little family hunting and fishing trip 367 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 2: and he took time out of his busy time off. 368 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: Can I can I throw in a little color on roadless? 369 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 3: Sure, because so we call it. 370 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: Roadless, but there's about twenty million acres out there that 371 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: have pre existing road networks mark cover that at the 372 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: very beginning. Then at the end he kind of went 373 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: back to roadless, which it is roadless designated, but there 374 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: are pre existing roads out there that people walk and 375 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: hike and used to access deeper into these areas. But 376 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: sometimes that gets thrown around as like. 377 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 2: The oh yeah we're locked out. 378 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: Well yeah, there's that too, but they're like, oh, yeah, 379 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: your roadless has roads on it. 380 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 3: How is it roadless? Right? 381 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: And the you know, the big thing here is that 382 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: there is a history of litigation by certain groups when 383 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: the roadless rule is used as it should be to 384 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: try to build roads for the purposes of habitat. 385 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 3: And things like that. 386 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of sewing that goes on to 387 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: stop all road and building even though it's written into 388 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: the roadless rule, and some of those feelings have very 389 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: much come to the surface to say get rid of 390 00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: the roadless rule. 391 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 3: But the flip side of this is. 392 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 2: That you see the same thing with the Endangered Species Act. 393 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly exactly is the roadless rule is really working 394 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: for a lot of people in a lot of areas. 395 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 1: And so obviously there's middle ground here for roadless rule 396 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: reform where it's needed, and this idea of it's got 397 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: to be all one way or all the other way 398 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: is just not accurate. And so this is just really 399 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: lazy management to say, okay, get rid of the whole thing, 400 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: and also to classify this as only a timber play 401 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: is completely wrong. Timbers the thing that gets absolutely talked 402 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: about the most, both in fire fuel reduction, which nobody's 403 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: come out to say how we're going to pay for 404 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: reducing you know, low growth that is not marketable by 405 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: and large unless it's extremely close to like a pellet 406 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: facility or you know, a pull situation that makes it 407 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: something you would get paid to do versus something you 408 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: pay for obviously right now, like we're not talking about 409 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: paying for a lot of things, right right. That's why 410 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: I bring that up. So the other thing that's not 411 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: getting talked a lot about here is this would provide 412 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: the ability to build roads to areas for mineral withdrawal. 413 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: And when we talk about mineral withdrawal, we're talking about 414 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: something with large footprints and long term impacts that instead 415 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: of our friends seth here having to wait for a 416 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: logging operation to get done over the course of a 417 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: couple of seasons, and then going in and hunting that 418 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: stuff that now provides early successional growth that animals love 419 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: to come in and eat and can be really good 420 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: hunting if if that cut is done in the correct way. 421 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: We're talking about an area that Seth does not go 422 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: back into for his entire lifetime because it takes a 423 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: long time to run these mineral extraction operations, and obviously 424 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: we need stuff that comes out of the ground too. 425 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: But is that a situation where we have to roll 426 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: back this entire thing, or can we identify these areas 427 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: right and say, hey, this is really important right now, 428 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: we need to reform the roadless rule. 429 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 2: To accommodate these yes, specific things. 430 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. 431 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: So, like, I, for one, very sick and tired of 432 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: a Democrat administration coming in swinging the pendulum extremely one 433 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: way and then a conservative administration coming in swinging it 434 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: completely the opposite way, when I feel like most Americans 435 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: are like, oh, this thing in the middle makes sense. 436 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, well, agreed, keep pounting the drum our.

Here 697 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 6: is from mad Sean a question for the crew for 698 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,800 Speaker 6: mid October Hunts. How do you adjust calling an approach 699 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 6: when hunting elk? He specifically says, Roosevelt elk but in 700 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 6: dense coastal forest compared to rocky Mountain environs. 701 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 2: Sounds like a question for old Ryan Callahan. 702 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 3: Boy, let's call Jason Phelps. 703 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 1: Boy. 704 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. 705 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: I don't know much about Roosevelt elk.

Late or sorry, early to mid 710 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: October around here is typically when the herds are are 711 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 1: built up and they're bigger, and that means they are 712 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: more vocal, so you have a good chance of locating 713 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:59,280 Speaker 1: elk because they're more talkative. And then cow calls, calcaf 714 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: calls and combo can bring in satellite and raghorn bowls 715 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: on the fringe, which most of the time when I'm 716 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 1: hunting elk, I'm hunting broadside elk. I don't need to 717 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: go find the big herd bull because I want to 718 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 1: put that sucker in my freezer and then worry about 719 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: mule deer. 720 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 3: I agree, can agree more. 721 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 2: Thank you, Phil, and for those of you in the chat. 722 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 2: Keep them coming, Please keep them coming.

Whenever I see someone with baby on their 789 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 2: back or on their chest, I'm like, Okay, that's good. 790 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 2: They know if they fall they can go that way 791 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 2: or that way opposite the baby.

So 905 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 6: we're gonna wait here for Ben to rejoin. Oh no, 906 00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 6: I'm sure he's fine.

Can you explain what 930 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,680 Speaker 2: the organization is and who participates. 931 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely, thanks again, guys around me on, I really 932 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 10: appreciate it. So MICRA is the leadership for fishery manager 933 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,279 Speaker 10: throughout the Mississippi River basin. And so there's thirty one 934 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,320 Speaker 10: states in the basin. We currently have twenty eight folks 935 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,239 Speaker 10: and this is going to be what's called the Chief 936 00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 10: of Fisheries. Every state fish and Game agency has you know, 937 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,439 Speaker 10: some number of employees, but the head is usually called 938 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:40,839 Speaker 10: the chief. 939 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:42,040 Speaker 3: So it's those folks. 940 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,760 Speaker 10: We also have federal agencies like US Fish and Wildlife Service, 941 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:50,040 Speaker 10: US Geological Survey on for Tennessee Valley Authority, folks like that. 942 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,600 Speaker 10: And then of course all the tribes within the basin 943 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,800 Speaker 10: are welcome. And basically, in short, the purpose of MICRA 944 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:02,360 Speaker 10: is to do it we can coordinating inner jurisdictional fish species. 945 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 2: Gotcha, What are some of the challenges or projects that 946 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,640 Speaker 2: you're currently working on as an organization? 947 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 10: All right, Well, I think what makes the Missing River 948 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 10: basin awesome is also some of the biggest challenges. I 949 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 10: mean one point two million square miles three hundred and 950 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 10: twenty million acres, you know, the Missippi River basin. Every 951 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 10: drop of water that goes from the east side of 952 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,640 Speaker 10: the Rockies to the west side of the Appalachians ends 953 00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:33,800 Speaker 10: up in the Gulf. So it's just gigantic. It's the 954 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 10: fourth largest basin in the planet after the Amazon, Congo 955 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 10: and the Nile. So scale here is a challenge. Also 956 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,560 Speaker 10: neat is that you know, a fish can swim from 957 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,360 Speaker 10: the Gulf twelve hundred miles without ever running into anything. 958 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,880 Speaker 10: Take a left and head up the Missouri all the 959 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 10: way to Gavin's Points South Dakota another eight hundred miles, 960 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,359 Speaker 10: so two thousand miles a fish can swim before ever 961 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 10: hitting a dam. But that's the best case in the 962 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 10: in the in the area, I mean, there's dams and 963 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,000 Speaker 10: things like that that you know, mess with fish passage 964 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,719 Speaker 10: and fish being able to move. We love working on 965 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,239 Speaker 10: on a positive native fish species, you know, big cool 966 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,799 Speaker 10: things like cattlefish and sturgeon and things like that, catfish, 967 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 10: et cetera. But probably our biggest drain on our energy 968 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,960 Speaker 10: is the invasive part issue that is most of the basin. 969 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 2: Gotcha, Now, I understand that the micro's currently working towards 970 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:34,520 Speaker 2: being recognized by Congress. What does that recognition mean and 971 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 2: what does that process involve. 972 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,840 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's great. I appreciate you guys checking on. So 973 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,759 Speaker 10: the goal of this, it's an association, so we just 974 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,239 Speaker 10: all exist by a bunch of signatures of you know, 975 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:50,359 Speaker 10: fisheries group leadership. But our goal since nineteen ninety one 976 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 10: and establishment was to become a commission and basically that 977 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 10: recognition would give us one just more stature and influence. 978 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 10: So you know, a letter to Congress or some from 979 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,840 Speaker 10: this association doesn't carry near as much weight as it 980 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,920 Speaker 10: does from the Mississippi River Basin Fishery Commission. And then 981 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,040 Speaker 10: the biggest probably is funding and resource. I think you know, 982 00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,360 Speaker 10: you guys talk all the time. I don't think you 983 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 10: find anybody that's a manager across the country that would 984 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 10: say they have enough resource to you know, for the challenges. 985 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 10: And so this draft legislation that we have right now 986 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 10: asks for in years two through five of existing thirty 987 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 10: million dollars a year for the basin and then fifty 988 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 10: million on after that. So a significant amount of resource 989 00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,439 Speaker 10: that would help us out.
