And some of this is simply, you know, 172 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: a disagreement over how you manage landscape, and some of 173 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: it is I think concern over you know, changes you 174 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: know in the region, and some of it it's just 175 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: that we're new, you know again, twenty years in Montana 176 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: is an eyeblink and so some of it's just been 177 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: we've had to go out there and earn trust, say 178 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: what we're going to do, and then back that up 179 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: with action, and so I think what you find is 180 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: we go out, you talk to our over the fence neighbors, 181 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: you talk to the more than sixty ranchers in the 182 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: region that we partner with on leasing grass or working 183 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: through our wild Sky program. 184 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 7: Together, you find that actually we have great relationships. 185 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: And I think you know head on, we are not 186 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: the enemy of Montana agriculture. 187 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I mean. 188 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: Agriculture does great. The reason that we can do this 189 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: in this part of the world is because all of 190 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: the good stewardship that Montana ranchers have carried out for 191 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: generations on this landscape. And often we find that we 192 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: actually have the same goal, which is that we're hoping 193 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: that and working to have this landscape look much like 194 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: it does right now. Slightly different methods there sometimes, but 195 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we want this place 196 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: to you know, as you're saying, it is one of 197 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: the most spectacular parts not only Montana, but the entire 198 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: United States, and we'll all work in to make sure 199 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: it stays that way. 200 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: And something I'll point out is that on like I'm 201 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 2: not sure like what percentage of the acreage this is 202 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: true on, but there's still cattle ranching going on on 203 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: some of your properties. 204 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and again that's you know, I think, you know, 205 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: when folks say, hey, there's controversy around this, a lot 206 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: of that controversy is coming from a lack of understanding 207 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: of what we actually do. So, you know, we're sometimes 208 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: get cast as like these bison folks who want wild 209 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: bison everywhere. We manage our bison as livestock, so we 210 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: disease test them. They're contained behind fences. They're not wild, 211 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: free roaming bison. They're an important part of conserving them 212 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: as a species, but they're not wild and free roaming. 213 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: And we have about eight hundred and fifty bison right 214 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: now on two properties. 215 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 7: We have over seven thousand cattle on our properties. So 216 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 7: most of our properties, the grazer that does. 217 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: That role in the ecosystem, you know, which again is 218 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: a really important one, is cattle. And again, I was 219 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: listening to Cal on the Joe Rogan podcast this week 220 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: while I was driving, and it was awesome to hear 221 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: him talking in front of such a huge audience about 222 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: the value of prairies and that prairies globally are disappearing 223 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: faster than any other ecosystem, and we have one of 224 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: the best chances to set aside and protect some of 225 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: our remaining grasslands anywhere in the world, right here in Montana. 226 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: And so hearing him talk to Joe about that was awesome. 227 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: And yet even cal who again, I mean, he's he's 228 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: here in Montana, you know, had a couple of bits 229 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: of misinformation about American prairie. 230 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 7: You know, our our. 231 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: Money doesn't come from the Dutch. Ninety seven percent is 232 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: from within the United States. And our bison don't come 233 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: from Yellowstone. They came from Elk Island to Canada. And uh, 234 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: and we've done trades with some of our tribal neighbors 235 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: who have Yellowstone genetics in their herd. 236 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 7: But but again I think that's and not to give 237 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 7: cal a hard time, because. 238 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: No, no, we'll make sure he hears this, for sure. 239 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 7: We don't. 240 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 4: We don't let go any chance to correct cal On. 241 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: Oh well you can, you can tell me shanked it 242 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: on that one. 243 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 7: He's just a mess, But he's a good guy. 244 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: He'll acknowledged that he got wrong and make a correction. 245 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: But uh, but you know, I think it just speaks 246 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: to look, you know, here's somebody who's really well educated 247 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: on conservation in Montana and around the US, but still 248 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: had some of you know, these sort of persistent you know, 249 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: miss misinformation about what we actually do, and a lot 250 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: of that's on us, Like we can to make. 251 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 7: Sure we're out here talking to folks. 252 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: You know, we're a bunch of Montana's We're a Montana 253 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: nonprofit buying land, opening up to public access, managing it 254 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: for wildlife. 255 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's talk about that.

I think you guys have a campground. There's 261 00:14:54,200 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 2: fishing opportunities, and there's hunting opportunities. American Prairie runs a lottery, 262 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 2: but for several bison hunting opportunities. 263 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 8: Uh. 264 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 2: Randall's wife last year took advantage of that and got herself. 265 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: Got herself was a great She sat a big bold no. 266 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: No. 267 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 4: She she had one of the yearling. 268 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: Oh, she had one of. 269 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 4: The yearling tags. 270 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 5: But honestly, the one of the coolest, wildest hunting experiences 271 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 5: of my life. 272 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: You guys still eating that thing? 273 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, nice, Yeah, we just got the hide back. 274 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: So beyond the bison thing, like, you can go on 275 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: these properties and hunt small game, upland birds, waterfowl, big 276 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 2: game through Montana's Block Management program, which is a public 277 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 2: access to private land program.

So Mike tell us about Bullwhacker Road, 284 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: the Wilkes brothers and your your latest acquisition and why 285 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 2: it's such an important public access win for all kinds 286 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 2: of outdoors enthusiasts, including hunters. 287 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this has been one of the things 288 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: we've been most excited about over the last couple of years. 289 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 4: Here. 290 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: We closed on a property called the Anchor Ranch that's 291 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: on the north side of the Missouri River about seventy 292 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: miles southeast to have her on the high line and 293 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: sixty six thousand acres of deeded and least land. But 294 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: most importantly the deeded land includes a four mile section 295 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: of the Bullwhacker Road that was you know, in and 296 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: out of court.

They were unable 348 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 5: to given the sort of strictures around federal land acquisitions. 349 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 5: But someone was going to buy that land, right like, 350 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 5: like that property was for sale, someone was going to 351 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 5: buy it. And so in this case, because American Prairie 352 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 5: was the buyer, all that landlocked public land is now 353 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 5: open to the public in addition to the access that 354 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 5: you guys provide through block management. 355 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just a big win. 356 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 357 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 358 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: And both of those properties too are examples of you know, 359 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: large properties that were formerly owned by out of state owners, 360 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: largely as either private hunting properties or as you know, 361 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: amenity properties or investments and so you know, again we 362 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: think a Montana based nonprofit now owning them, now managing 363 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: it for public access and for wildlife habitat. 364 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's a net positive. 365 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm sitting in the room having given a presentation last 366 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: week where I was showing these, you know, these charts 367 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 1: for what the growth of populations in Montana have done 368 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years since COVID. I mean, 369 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: we're sitting here at Bozeman and see that, you know, 370 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: it's grown by eighty six percent in the Gallatin Valley. 371 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 2: This is supposed to be good news, Mike. 372 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: Well, so here's the other, you know, to set up 373 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: the good news. This is what public land you know, 374 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: has done. It's essentially flat. Yeah, not only flat, but 375 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: I mean cal has done such an incredible job at 376 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: all of you you know, at meat eater, backcountry hunters 377 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: and anglers in fighting the efforts to sell off public 378 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: land recently. But so not only have we not been 379 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: created more public land necessarily, you know, we've even had 380 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: you know, proposals to sell it off. So I think 381 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: that's part of the bigger, bigger world in which we 382 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: operate is Look, we are trying our hardest to shift 383 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: that a little bit, you know, because we as a species, 384 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: we certainly are making more people more of ourselves, we're 385 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: not necessarily, you know, doing as much to create more good, 386 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: publicly accessible land. 387 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 7: And that's a big. 388 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: Part of what gets me up every day and into 389 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: the office and out in the field. 390 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. So got asked, new property, is it open to hunting? 391 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 7: Not this year? 392 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: This is yhere. We got to take it to h 393 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: And as you were saying, you know, b M A contracts, 394 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: generally we finalize those in May or June. 395 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it just wasn't the timing wasn't right. 396 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 7: Exactly exactly. 397 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: So I'd say, stay tuned, you know, we'll have a 398 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: public access you know policy. I'd say by by next 399 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,959 Speaker 1: summer and certainly by the next hunting season. 400 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: So but what about but the road is open, road 401 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 2: is open, Okay. 402 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: So so folks can access all of the BLM and 403 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: state land to the south. And also I'll just give 404 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: my usual safety plug, like don't drive your minivan down 405 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: in there, don't take the Corolla. 406 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 4: Watch the weather forecast. 407 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,239 Speaker 7: Watch the weather forecast. Right now. 408 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: I just had a meeting with some of the BLM 409 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: monument folks this week and they were saying, there's a 410 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: there's a VW s u V rented from the Billings 411 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: Airport that's been sitting down in there. 412 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 7: Since about May. 413 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: It's nice and they couldn't get it out, so it's 414 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: it's rugged. 415 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 7: You know, you got to do your homework before you 416 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 7: drive down in there. 417 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't even try if it's going to rain or snow. 418 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 2: It's good advice, I think, Mike, before we let you go, 419 00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 2: thanks for all this really is good news. Can you 420 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 2: pull out your crystal ball and kind of give us 421 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 2: an idea of what we can expect from American prayer 422 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 2: kind of in the near future and and kind of 423 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 2: layout like what best case scenario, end goal would be 424 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 2: for you guys. 425 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely so. 426 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: I think again, we recognize, hey, being around for twenty years, 427 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: you know, we're still earning trust. And that goes for 428 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: you know, the general public, It goes for ranchers, it 429 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: goes for hunters, it goes for you know, folks who 430 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: are just curious about, you know, what this thing is. 431 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 7: They've heard of. 432 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: So I'd say continue to look to us to you know, 433 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: illustrate our or to underwrite our words. With deeds, you know, 434 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: in terms of public access, you know, I used to 435 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: get questions like, hey, are you guys, you know, is 436 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: this some sort of bait and switch. Are you guys 437 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: just offering public access? And then you're going to like lock. 438 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 2: The gates up, right, That's something I'm absolutely not. 439 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: Like, we buy properties that have conservation easements on them. 440 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: This year, we donated one hundred and nine acres to 441 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,719 Speaker 1: the state of Montana to create a state park at 442 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: Judith Landing. You know, we open previously landlocked public land 443 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: across our deeded roads and then assume the costs of 444 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: maintaining those roads. So I'd say, continue to judge us 445 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: on what we do. And you know, I think we 446 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: often say, look, you know, we're not asking for support 447 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: or endorsement, you know. 448 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 7: Do your homework, come to your own conclusion. 449 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: But we do ask for understanding, like just just understand 450 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: what we're actually doing. And in terms of public access, yeah, 451 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: I think it's probably going to look a lot like 452 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: what you see right now, where you know, we're in 453 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: the top ten largest landowners in the state enrolled in 454 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: that block management access program with FVP, They're an incredible 455 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: agency to work with for your listeners outside the state. 456 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: I mean, Montana is truly the last best place I 457 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: think as an outdoors person and as a hunter in particular. 458 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 7: So it's a lot of it. 459 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: You know, it's over eighty thousand acres available to hunt 460 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: in that program. We're building a couple more backcountry huts 461 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: in our huts system over the next two years, so 462 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: you'll see more of those and just more chances to 463 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: explore different parts of the prairie. Those have you've been 464 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: up there, know that you know some of it.

This my buddy buddy's 641 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 2: dad's land. My buddy's dad has now passed away, but 642 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 2: my buddy still hunts his property. 643 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 5: And this this was. 644 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 2: The first like big nice buck I had ever shot 645 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania. Grew up deer hunting. But like when I 646 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 2: was growing up, man like there just wasn't very many 647 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 2: big bucks around like this one. They just didn't live 648 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 2: long enough. We would see a shit ton of deer hunting, 649 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 2: but it would be like twenty two does and a 650 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 2: spike in a day of hunting, and like you just 651 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 2: shot whatever buck you had a chance to shoot. This 652 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 2: picture was taken I think maybe a couple years after 653 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 2: they the state implemented Antler point restrictions. In Pennsylvania's Antler 654 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 2: point restrictions aren't like. 655 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 4: With like Texas. 656 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 2: It's at the time it was most of the state 657 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 2: was three on one side, and this in northwestern Pennsylvania 658 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 2: it was three on one side plus a brow time 659 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 2: and a lot of guys were like very against this 660 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 2: new regulation at the time, but it really started paying 661 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 2: off quickly, Like you know, a percentage like of those 662 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 2: year and a half old bucks, a large percentage of 663 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 2: those year and a half old bucks that would have 664 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 2: gotten shot now had a chance to at least get 665 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 2: to another year. And now in Pennsylvania, like they're killing 666 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 2: big bucks, which was just not a thing that happened 667 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 2: very often when I was a kid. So yeah, that's 668 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 2: like my one and only nice big Pennsylvania buck there. 669 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: Nice. 670 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 6: The same thing happened in Texas where people were very 671 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 6: against the Antler restrictions. 672 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 673 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 6: First and now you talk to pretty much everyone and 674 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 6: they say it was a good thing. Yeah, you know, 675 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 6: we're seeing a lot more big deer. 676 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 2: It works. Some places, it doesn't work others they've like 677 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 2: Colorado tried it with mule deer. It was just like 678 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 2: it didn't work, just like it was a failed experiment. 679 00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:01,399 Speaker 2: But like it's definitely worked in Pennsylvania.

You do truly have to 702 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 5: emulsify it, just make it into goo. The tough thing 703 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 5: is going to be the snap. So we're we're discussing 704 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 5: that yesterday. You want a good, a good positive snap 705 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 5: on the dog. But we will hopefully address this in 706 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 5: a video at some point. 707 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 3: Cool uh Ian asks on the heels of the CLBD podcast, 708 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 3: how often do you guys get your deer and elk tested? 709 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 3: I get them all or there with signs on the animal, 710 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 3: cause I've just gone to get. 711 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:30,720 Speaker 2: Them all tested. 712 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 7: Man. 713 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 2: And in some places, like where I'm gonna hunt in 714 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 2: Colorado this year, it's mandatory. In other places it's a voluntary. 715 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 2: But I've just like I got, I just get them 716 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:44,760 Speaker 2: all tested. 717 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 5: Now, I just I test them when they're required. And 718 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 5: uh obviously like in Montana here we have big game 719 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 5: checkpoints and so they sort of catch you in a 720 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 5: funnel to track animals moving across the state. And so 721 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 5: at some of those still test, But yeah, I haven't. 722 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 5: I don't think I've ever voluntarily submitted something for testing. 723 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you had kids, proud of that, if you 724 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 2: had kids, you might. 725 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 8: Look at it. 726 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 4: Or if I valued my own health. 727 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's not. 728 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a joke. That's a joke. 729 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 2: I know, Jordan, you doing that down and those Texans 730 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 2: just care. 731 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. 732 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 3: Well. 733 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 6: Our our CWD problem, you know, tends to be with 734 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 6: the breeding facilities. 735 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,439 Speaker 2: Well, it's like that everywhere. I mean when you look 736 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 2: at like the spread a map from like the US 737 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 2: I think it's the USGS. Maybe it's fish and wildlife. 738 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 2: I don't know, but you can look at a map 739 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,240 Speaker 2: and see where these outbreaks start and it's like almost 740 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 2: guarantee that in the center of that thing, Yeah, there's 741 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 2: a high fence. 742 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, and there are I know, there are areas where 743 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 6: the wild population, you know, there is a problem, and 744 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 6: there may be mandatory testing there, but not where where 745 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 6: I'm hunting. 746 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 3: So, speaking of kids, question for Brody and Jordan. Adam's 747 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 3: taking a six year old daughter on her first hunt 748 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 3: this weekend, DIY blind in the woods. Do I let 749 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 3: her try and shoot or just sit and watch me 750 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,760 Speaker 3: do it. I want to give her a good experience. 751 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 2: There's too many unknowns here, like has she practiced, has 752 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 2: she put in the time, does she want to? Does 753 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 2: she want to? Has she been exposed to it at 754 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 2: all yet? 755 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 3: I what hunt? 756 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 2: I'm assuming deer, but I don't know. I'm assuming it's 757 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 2: a deer from in my opinion, like you see a 758 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 2: lot of pictures of five six year old kids like 759 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 2: holding the buck up. In my opinion, it's a little 760 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 2: too early simply because they don't really know what they're doing. 761 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 2: They like don't understand it yet. It's not that you 762 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 2: can't set them up with a rifle that'll work and 763 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 2: stuff like that. So I would probably do the shooting 764 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 2: and see how she reacts if she hasn't had any 765 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 2: exposure to it yet. 766 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 6: Jordan, Yeah, no, I totally agree with that. And you know, 767 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 6: if you get something that's plenty of excitement for us, sure. 768 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 2: And walk walk through the skin and in the gut 769 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 2: and all like all that stuff tends to like as 770 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 2: long as you don't be like this is going to 771 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 2: be a little gross, like don't do any of that, 772 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 2: Just like do it, and they're probably going to be fascinated. 773 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 3: But yeah, Jackson asks, do you think the same arguments 774 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 3: against crossbows aka arrow guns, according to Rody, should be 775 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 3: applied to the use of TSS turkey loads and long 776 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 3: range rifles. Never used a crossbow, but I've always thought 777 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 3: that the hate was odd. I agree. 778 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 2: I don't get the hate. What's he talking about turkey loads? 779 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, like the super No, Like there's. 780 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 2: Like no way.

But you know, you've taken it 924 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:14,759 Speaker 2: a step further and proven that these smaller cartridges are 925 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 2: capable of like cleanly killing everything from from bears to moose.
