I've been working. Yeah, 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:11.480 I've been working on a heavy highway job doing nuclear 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.920 density testing. So wow, now there's your warning. 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.960 Okay, that's the week before that spare time, I was 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:19.360 at an. 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.000 Archeological dig looking for some of the first Americans that 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:28.760 paleo hunters that hunted the mastadons in mammoths. So we 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.919 dug where we're doing that northern Kentucky, on the edge 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:37.560 of the last glaciation, the Wisconsin, so the glaciers came down. Basically, 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.240 you can draw a line along the Ohio River and 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:44.559 that's where the glaciers ended, and so like sixty miles 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.520 as a crow flys from my house was the glaciers 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.919 fifteen thousand years ago. So in northern Kentucky there was 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:54.560 a gathering of mammoths and mastadons, one of the few 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.760 places in the world that you find both species at 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:02.120 the same spot. We dug up a bottom tusk of 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.800 a mastodon, which I didn't know at that time that 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.919 masadons had bottom tusk, and it was carved in the 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:10.920 shape of a penis. 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:16.480 Oh wow, so quickly, but I didn't know where we 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:17.200 were going there. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:27.080 So very so so did they know that the site 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:27.599 was there. 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:33.320 Yes, this is a site where Daniel Boone crossed the 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.200 river with his son and like one hundred and fifty 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.880 militia men ten months after the Revolutionary War was over. 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.039 And he said it was a bad idea to cross. 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.000 There's a ford there on a licking river that you 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.040 could wait across right now. But they crossed that went 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.440 up into the hills and they were met by one 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:56.320 hundred British and about two hundred American Indians. Like I said, 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.679 ten months after the Revolutionary War was over, the British 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.680 were still trying to take charge of the Northwest Territory. 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.400 They got ambush. Daniel Boone's son died in his arms there. 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.320 They made it back across the river licks little blue licks, 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:11.560 the battle little licks. 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:16.160 So the mastadon parts were at the blue lix. 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.839 Yeah, we're sitting there digging in a mud hole looking 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.880 at this river. Lick is a salt lick, salt lick. Yeah, 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.920 that's why the animals were there to begin with. That's 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:29.320 why the mastodons and the mammos were there because there 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.320 was water available. There was salt there that attracted them. 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.720 They was right on the edge of the Glacier's ideal 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.159 climate and it's just all. 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.800 So you You were there with archaeologists from where. 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:42.839 From all over the country. 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:43.440 Wow. 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.039 One guy was there and he was gathering cosmic dust 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.520 to see if he could prove that the the hit 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.839 the Earth and might have changed the climate. Another guy 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.960 that was there is, I know that you've been doing 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:58.680 some water witching thing, but you got to have this 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.719 guy on your show.

He says, I'm going to teach myself 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.600 to do that.

Thanks guys. 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:56.800 We kind of shrunk it down. 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:57.360 Last year. 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.520 We did a bunch, We did squirrel Call, and we 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.200 did uh. We had the under ten year old oystreet 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.360 and competition, which was just ridiculous. 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:07.160 Uh. 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.840 This year we limited it to the squirrel competition itself, 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.600 the cookoff cookof then we did the skinning competition, but 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.640 we did it two different ways. This year we did 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.840 it the traditional way, like Kevin would just tug and jerking, 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.520 kind of like you would with your little nippers, you know, 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:28.240 your little scissors you like to use. 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.640 And then they don't want me in that competition with 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.920 my nippers. He's got those nippers. You know, you think 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.840 that's this They think this cheating. 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.840 And then the second way is we used We had 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.280 a guy come down from Illinois that it was three 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.760 D printing these new you know the leg hold headhole deal. 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.800 I think, yeah, yeah, Kevin's got it had been three 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.880 D printing though, So we set out to see if 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.840 that was any better, and Kevin explained when that would 0:15:58.840 --> 0:15:59.680 work better. 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:06.680 Have had mobility problems, Uh, you would have like a 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.280 string with a carab beaner and you would mount it 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.640 up so if you couldn't bend, yeah, it would hang 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.440 so you can put their feet through there, their head 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.840 through there. So if you were like where you couldn't 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:20.520 get over, had trouble being mobile, you could skin from 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.960 standing up. So that's where that comes in handy. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.000 Now, But they're putting the head of the squirrel in there, right, 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.160 But I mean, nobody do people skin from the head down. 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.240 I've only only know how to skin from. 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.680 Think it's when they're gutting. It just gives you another option. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.400 Of course that the squirrel may pull in two, so 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.120 if you you know, if he pulls in two, then 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.840 it gives a better option to skin in the thing. Yeah, 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:44.920 they sent me one, and they asked me if I 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.120 used U as I keep my bourbon bottle on it. Okay, 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.040 So so I tell him when I get about seventy five, 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.800 I'll probably take take this, but as long as I 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.720 can bend over. Because Clifton, he was he won the 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.880 first heat and then he started using this thing, and 0:16:58.880 --> 0:16:59.960 then he kind of got lost. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.200 Did it if he body beat him with that when 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:04.280 they were using those. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.760 Yeah, if he would have just did his rigor skin in, 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.359 he would have won. Because if you're not used to it, 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.080 you know, it's like if you're not used to using 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.320 nippers or scissors, then it's extra motion that you don't 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.919 know what you're Yeah, you're going through. But it's a 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.399 good it's a good thing. Like I said, I'll use 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:20.840 it one of these days when I get older. 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.439 So how did how did cliff? Well did we answer 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:24.920 my question? 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:25.720 Uh? 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:30.600 Yeah, cleaning hot squirrel cleaning And then the Cookoff. 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.320 And the cookoff man, you just wait till Brent Reeves 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:34.159 tells you what he ate. 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:37.119 Well, yeah, I want to hear that in detail, like 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.680 what was actually cooked. But so if if you come 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:46.359 to the Squirrel Cookoff every we're at the the nature Center. 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.200 What's the name. What's the name of the center? Yeah? Yeah, 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.480 here in Springdale, Arkansas for Arkansas Game and Fish Nature Center. 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.399 That's correct, and really beautiful facility. 0:17:55.080 --> 0:18:01.679 Ozark Holland's Nature Center and John Hunt. Yeah, those are 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:05.879 those are Hollands Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.200 It's a mouthful Folks's Nature. 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.120 Center and a partridge in a pear tree. 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.399 There was one other thing that we tried to accomplish 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:20.480 this this event is uh. I want to stress this 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:28.159 that there was a bunch of young adults kids to 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.560 young adults who competed this year. And one of the 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.720 reasons why I thought that was important is these kids 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.200 had been branded with the name in front of them 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:43.240 of Foster. And one of my goals for this event 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:47.760 was to eliminate the name Foster on these kids and 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:52.040 just call them what they are as kids. And so 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.840 most folks didn't know it today because we didn't shine 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:57.159 any light on it, because that wasn't the goal. The 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.800 goal was was to put these kids in there just 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.480 like any other kids and compete. So we had three 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:05.760 teams located over here. I think they did a really 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:11.000 good job and we shined a light on a lot 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:16.080 of child organizations that need to have lights shined on 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:19.119 them today. And so I didn't do a lot of 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.960 bragging about that. I wanted it just to be come 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:25.400 out and see that deal, and I think we accomplished 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:26.520 a big, big goal. 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:28.640 Well that's good, that's good stuff good. 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.040 So when people come here, I think the most unique 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.920 thing probably about this event is that you get to 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.160 eat squirrel. Like, so all the cooks are out here 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.720 cooking and you can see the cooks cooking. When you 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:52.760 come here, you have to cook the squirrel here. It's 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:57.000 got to be verified that it's squirrel. So people are cooking, 0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.880 you can see them cook, and then people get to eat. 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.960 So almost probably most people standing around here have the 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.040 opportunity to eat squirrel that if they wanted to. 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.639 Yeah, I've heard of all kinds of other oddities that 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:11.679 were out there. Crow, there was like crow sausage. Someone 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:15.439 made crow sausage. Row sausage. There was a bunch of goose. 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:16.560 Uh. 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:17.879 There was all kinds of things. 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:24.119 Serve today, Brent, tell me as many possible, as many 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.639 titles of dishes that you can remember what was cooked, 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.920 because that's what people will always want to know. Sesame 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:33.280 And if y'all, if anyone out there remembers, you can 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:33.800 say too. 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:35.840 I'll have to I'll have to dumb it down and 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:37.960 give you, like the the Brint version. 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:38.960 Yeah, just kind of like what it was. 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:43.480 What there was like sesame, sesame squirrel, Like you'd eat 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:47.439 sesame chicken in a Chinese place, okay, and then there 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:55.240 would be like squirrel casos, squirrel case of dias okay, 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:59.360 squirrel case of is. Yeah, and then there was squirrel 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:04.160
