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 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: dot com. Now here's your host, Ryan cal Callahan. According

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: to the News and Observer, an aggressive type of goose,

6
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: the Egyptian goose, is an invasive species of waterfowl which

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: is native to central and southern Africa, and it has

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: started establishing itself in Arkansas. I know that's a lot

9
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: to take in, but relax, we don't have to call

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: out the Arkansas Home Guard to watch out for fresh

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: flights of African geese. According to the Arkansas Game and

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: Fish Commission, Egyptian geese were once popular in zoos and aviaries,

13
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: but some manage to escape and find a suitable home

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: in the wild. M hmm, inter sting, How did these

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: birds manage to escape into the wild? Could they have

16
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: used their wings? Fine? Now that's fine now m hm. Anyway,

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: Egyptian geese numbers around the rise and the State of

18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Arkansas is concerned that this aggressive, non native species could

19
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: cause competition problems with native waterfowl, as well as cause

20
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: conflict issues with farmers and golfers. Contrary to this concern,

21
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: there is no open season nor plans for an open

22
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: hunting season for Egyptian geese, no matter how aggressive, hungry,

23
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: or poopy they apparently are. The species has a baize

24
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: chest and dark brown, dark orange, black and white feathers

25
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: on its back. Distinctive dark brown patches surround its eyes.

26
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: The beak is pink on top and black on the bottom,

27
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: which is a long way of saying, if it's not

28
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: from Canada, call it in, which is exactly what the

29
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: USGS and the State of Arkansas wants you to do.

30
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: Sighting should be reported to the Egyptian Goose Research Project

31
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: at p M M zero zero five at U A

32
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: r k dot e d U and c R zero

33
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: six five at U A r k dot e DU.

34
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: This week we've got Turkey infrastructure, firearms safety, and so

35
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: much more. But first I'm gonna tell you about my week.

36
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: And my week was a good one. The snort Dog

37
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: and I packed into the Elk woods looking for mule deer.

38
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: We found a bull elk way back in, and while

39
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: he didn't give me forever to think about it, I

40
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: decided to let him keep walking, as I really just

41
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: wanted a mule deer. Of course, after that, for the

42
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: next three days of walking around I saw nothing. On

43
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: top of that, the wind was blowing and instead of

44
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: getting wind and frost nipped, it was sixty degrees save

45
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: on everything at Christmas in July. I love cold weather hunting.

46
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: I love hunting in November, and it's just hard for

47
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: me to get in the November hunting mood when it's

48
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: rain instead of snow. This was snorts first alcnt I

49
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: would say she does not enjoy it. Despite finding several grouse.

50
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: She didn't like the snap of the tarp and the

51
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: wind at night, and I believe she just was pretty

52
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: bored about everything. I have a small variety of sleeping

53
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: bags for different adventures. I brought a lightweight quilt with

54
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: me on this particular trip, and it's just easier to

55
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: throw a dog underneath than a traditional sleeping bag. The

56
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: wind would blow so hard underneath my tarp set up

57
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: that it would levitate the quill perfectly horizontally about eighteen

58
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: inches above us, and then it would settle back down.

59
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: Normally this would be irritating, but when you go to

60
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: bed at seven pm in the dark, you still get

61
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: plenty of sleep with this type of stuff happening, so

62
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, you'll laugh. What else, I ran out of

63
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: stove fuels, so when it was time for my freeze

64
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: dried meal, which on this particular adventure, I decided to

65
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: clean up some really old off brand freeze dried stuff

66
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: that I had had kind of accumulated over the years.

67
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: So wattery, and yet there's a smack at hand to it.

68
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: It's hot hand water. That way I could save my

69
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: tasty stuff for friends on the next adventure. Anyway, no

70
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: stove fuel, so every time I wanted to heat up

71
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: a meal, I had to start a fire, which the

72
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: next time you dump camp cup of hot water into

73
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: a fire, you'll notice that the camp fire flavor really

74
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: infuses itself, and that little bit of smoke actually helped

75
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: some of the crappy meals I was eating. And that,

76
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: friends and neighbors, is how I spent my thirty ninth birthday.

77
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: No shots fired, very few animals seen in the rain

78
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: that should have been snow, watching my blanket levitate above me,

79
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 1: listening to my tarp snap and holacious wind, eating bad

80
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: old freeze dried food food, and drinking cold coffee and

81
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: the two warm and wet morning. It was great. Wonder

82
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: what forty will look like? And if you're wondering, yes,

83
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: that black Rifle instant coffee is pretty darn tasty cold.

84
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: I could write a whole book about backpack coffee. Next up,

85
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: got some listener feedback. A little while back, I posted

86
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: yet another picture of Snort on the old Californ OH

87
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: six Instagram page, and I happened to notice this exchange

88
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: in the comments between Ben one three five seven point

89
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: nine and Knife Dog Cowboy. As far as I can tell,

90
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: these two people do not know each other. Ben writes,

91
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: I love your dog. I lost my dog on Friday.

92
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: She was fifteen, happy hunting. Knife Dog Cowboy replies, I'm sorry.

93
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: Losing dogs is the worst. Ben sells. It feels like

94
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: losing my best friend. Knife Dog Cowboys says, I know, man.

95
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: Last summer I lost my fifteen year old Jock, a

96
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: lab that had gone with me everywhere. He was a

97
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: good boy and I miss him every day. Labs are

98
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: the best. Sorry for your loss. Dogs in general are

99
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: just hard to lose. I'm sorry you lost yours. I

100
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: felt obliged to include that this week because we can

101
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: all including myself stand to have a good reminder of

102
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: how far simple acts of kindness and empathy can go.

103
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: We need more of that on our social media channels

104
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: on the internet in general. Happy holidays, right, thanks for

105
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: listening and thanks for being part of the community. Ban

106
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,640

107
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,680

Speaker 1: send it around to someone that would be interested in

116
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,640

Speaker 1: I have several and then all sorts the other things,

136
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: and all that stuff expires on the blackest of Friday,

137
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: as the Friday after Thanksgiving. Cool Cool. Moving on to

138
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: the legislation desk. Just a quick legislative update. If you

139
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: follow political news, you probably saw that President Joe Biden

140
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: just signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, otherwise known

141
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: as Biden's one point to trillion dollar Infrastructure Bill. Some

142
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: folks really like this bill, Others not so much. No

143
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: surprise there. If you care about the outdoors, you should

144
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: know that it includes infrastructure related improvements that benefit hunters, anglers,

145
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: and wildlife. As per a great Rundown published by a

146
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 1: Country Hunters and Anglers, the bill includes funding for reclaiming

147
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: abandoned minds, improving wildlife connectivity, and improving forest service roads

148
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: and trails. The bill authorizes eleven point two nine billion

149
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: for an Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund to restore land and

150
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: water degraded by coal mining. It also includes four point

151
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: six seven billion in new funding for the plugging, remediation,

152
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: and reclamation of or find oil and gas wells. When

153
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: a mine or well shuts down, it doesn't stop polluting

154
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: the environment without maintenance. In fact, according to b h A,

155
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: those mines are the single largest source of pollution in

156
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: the United States, and estimated fort of Western watersheds are

157
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: contaminated in some way by mine tailings and mine runoff.

158
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: In addition, the bill provides three d and fifty million

159
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: dollars for habitat connectivity. In other words, the infrastructure bill

160
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: doesn't just build bridges for humans. Highways are great for people,

161
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: but animals haven't figured out how to look both ways.

162
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: These bridges are good for the animals, they're good for

163
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: the people to Every year, about two hundred people die

164
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: from animal car collisions. Wildlife overpasses do a great job. Plus,

165
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: the fewer animals on the side of the road, the

166
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: more animals available to hunters. I have eaten quite a

167
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: bit of road kill, but I'll admit, while roadkill is convenient,

168
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: it's not for everyone. I accidentally ran over it. It's

169
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: a Christmas miracle. Finally, this new Infrastructure Bill allocates two

170
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: d and fifty million dollars to the Forest Service Legacy

171
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: Roads and Trails Program. This program helps upgrade and repair

172
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: forest roads to give hunters and anglers better access to

173
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: the land and waters they love. It also decommissions unneeded

174
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: roads that aren't in use, which can help improve habitat quality.

175
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: We've talked about it many many times here, Trail density

176
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: and use affects wildlife. This isn't the only piece of

177
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: legislation I'm watching. Congress should be considering the Recovering America's

178
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: Wildlife Act soon, and I hope to also see movement

179
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: on the North American Grass Lions Conservation Act. To learn

180
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: more about the Grass Lions Act, checkout episode for the

181
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: Recovery of America's Wildlife Act. Take a listen to episode one.

182
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: After you do, make your weekly phone call to your

183
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: representatives and let them know how important these two acts

184
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: would be to you. If those folks would, you know, like,

185
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: co sponsor them. Moving on, I know many of you

186
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: already have that Thanksgiving turkey brining, so it's only fitting

187
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: that we bring you some turkey news this week. Unfortunately,

188
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: over the past several years, most of that news has

189
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: not been great on the wild turkey front. They peaked

190
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: about six point seven million birds in two thousand thirteen.

191
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: Turkey numbers in North America have been falling steadily, and

192
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: now the National Wild Turkey Federation estimates that we've got

193
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: right around six million birds remaining, which is still amazingly

194
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: good considering the fact that when nw t F was

195
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: founded in nineteen seventy five, there were only around one

196
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: point five million turkeys on the entire continent, and it's

197
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: unbelievably good compared to the low point in the nineteen thirties,

198
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: when there may have been as few as thirty thousand birds.

199
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: So we have two hundred times as many turkeys now

200
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: as we did at the bottom of the population curve. Still,

201
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: you don't like to see an eleven percent drop over

202
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: eight years. Biologists attribute the decline to a factor familiar

203
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: to all you regular listeners, habitat loss. They stressed that

204
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: turkey numbers are determined by production and survival of young,

205
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: not predation, meaning those coyotes here at night don't pose

206
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: a population level threat on their own. That peak number

207
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: of six point seven million may also have been too

208
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: much of a good thing. Turkeys may have exceeded the

209
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: carrying capacity of their habitat and many parts of the country.

210
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: Hands trying to find high quality nesting areas often have

211
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: a tough time beating the crowd. The slow to nest

212
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: hands have to nest wherever they can, even in exposed

213
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: areas without adequate vegetation. The less desirable nesting locations correlate

214
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: to eggs and poults being less likely to survive, kind

215
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: of a maccabb animal reflection of our housing market. But

216
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: not all turkeys and turkey regions are the same. The

217
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: recovery of the Gould's wild turkey and New Mexico is

218
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: a great example. New Mexico is home to three varieties

219
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: of turkey, the Goulds, the Merriam's, and the Rio grand And.

220
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: While the other two subspecies are widely distributed across the state,

221
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: meaning they have lots of different habitats they can depend on,

222
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: Gould's turkeys are concentrated in the extreme southwest corner of

223
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: the state and the mountainous Sky Islands. The idea of

224
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: a sky island was first described in ne by the

225
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: writer Nat Dodge, who called the Cherra Coowa Mountains and

226
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: southeastern Arizona one of the homes of the Gould's turkey quote.

227
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: A mountain island in a desert sea, Isn't that a

228
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: nice picture? The elevation of the mountains creates a more

229
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: temperate ecosystem where plants and animals can survive, but between

230
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: those ecosystems, the harsh desert creates wide zones much less

231
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: hospitable to life. Depending on these small and isolated areas

232
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: means that Goulds are more vulnerable to any changes there.

233
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: The new Mexico State Recovery Plan lists fires, limited water sources,

234
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: livestock overgrazing, and loss of territory from fuel, wood and

235
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: grass harvesting as the most serious threats. Those factors brought

236
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: the numbers of Gould's turkeys to extremely low levels. A

237
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: few decades ago, a study by New Mexico State University

238
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: determined that there have been as few as twelve Goulds

239
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: turkeys in the Pellencelo Mountains in the nineteen eighties, and

240
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: subsequent studies found only fifty to one hundred individuals in

241
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: the Animous Mountains and Arizona's Sand Louis Mountains with flocks

242
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: this small. Inbreeding became a big danger. As we've covered before,

243
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: when the numbers of a given species get too limited,

244
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: the DNA of each generation becomes more uniform. If a

245
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: new threat appears that takes advantage of a certain genetic

246
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: future a novel pathogen, for example, then all the members

247
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: of that population can be wiped out much more easily.

248
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: In Breeding also makes genetic abnormalities more likely. All of

249
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: this led to the State of New Mexico listing the

250
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: Gould's turkey on its threatened Species list way back in

251
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: four al Right it you know, I said this was

252
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: good news. It's coming. Thanks for hanging in there. Gould's

253
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: turkey habitat has now recovered so well that the New

254
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: Mexico Department of Game and Fish has issued a proposal

255
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: to take the subspecies off the threatened list. In two

256
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: thousands seventeen, a recovery plan was established for Gould's populations

257
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: in the Peal and Slo Mountains. The plan coordinated habitat

258
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: improvement on public and private lands and relocated about sixty

259
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: turkeys from Arizona into the New Mexico flock, greatly improving

260
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: the biodiversity there. Interestingly, it's very hard to find an

261
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: accurate account of Gould's turkeys, both in New Mexico and

262
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: in general. These are remote parts of the world and

263
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: conducting accurate surveys every year is very difficult. In fact,

264
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: part of the recovery plan involved developing a better way

265
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: of counting, which included aerial surveys. As you know, I'm

266
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: not a big fan of drones, but in this particular application,

267
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm on board. So the move to delist the Goulds

268
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: was prompted by meeting objectives for restoring suitable habitat, not

269
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: by directly measuring the numbers of individual birds. If the

270
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: Gould's turkey is delisted, tags to hunt them will become

271
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: more abundant, which will mean more revenue to continue with

272
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: their recovery. So we're not out of the woods yet

273
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: population wise, but the woods themselves are getting better for

274
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: the Gould's turkey. When that Gould's population is ready to

275
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: live in them. I'm gonna hit you with a few

276
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: fun turkey facts for the road. The Latin name for

277
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: the wild turkey is Malagrius gallipavo, or MG for short,

278
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: and the different varieties are distinguished by a third subspecies, moniker.

279
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: So the Goulds turkey is the MG Mexicana, the Merriam's

280
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: is MG Merriami, the Eastern is MG sylvestris, and so on.

281
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: The Goulds turkey is a bit bigger than the others,

282
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: with longer legs, but its most distinctive feature is the

283
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: white terminal band on the tail feathers that beautiful white

284
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: arc when the tom goes into full struck. One extinct subspecies,

285
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: Meleagris californica, was a variety native to you guessed at California,

286
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: and was around in abundance through the Pleistocene era, meaning

287
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: up until about ten thousand years ago. No one knows

288
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: for sure, but the appearance of human beings on the

289
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: scene could have contributed to the species extinction. I would

290
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: say that's a safe bet, and if you are listening

291
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: to this on a post Turkey day blow, I think

292
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: you get it. Moving on to the hunter safety desk.

293
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: Anti hunting organizations sometimes try to scare the general public

294
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: into opposing hunting because the activity is quote dangerous. The

295
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: Committee to Abolish Sport Hunting, for example, has been publishing

296
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: an annual report since two thousand three detailing hunting accidents

297
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: from across the country without any context. The list of

298
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: deaths and injuries sounds disturbing. I'll admit hunting is more

299
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: dangerous than let's say, crochet, but most hunts aren't dangerous

300
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: at all. In fact, hunting has never been safer than

301
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: it is today. The Committee to Abolish Sport Hunting conveniently

302
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: forgets to include this. As meat eaters own Pat Durkin

303
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: pointed out in a recent article, deer hunting in Wisconsin

304
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: is six times safer than it was sixty years ago.

305
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: The state recorded twenty seven hunting accidents per one hundred

306
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: thousand Wisconsin deer hunters from nineteen sixty four to ye

307
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: From two thousand three to two thousand thirteen, that number

308
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: dropped all the way down to four, more than six

309
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: times fewer accidents. This trend holds true and other states

310
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: as well. I'll rattle off some stats here. Texas, there

311
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: were twelve point six hunting accidents per one hundred thousand

312
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: licenses sold in nineteen sixty six. In twenty twenty, that

313
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: number dropped all the way down to one point eight.

314
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: Utah saw one hundred and twenty six total hunting incidents

315
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty seven, including twenty two fatalities. In two

316
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: thousand seventeen, there were seven hunting incidents and one fatality,

317
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: and the state saw zero hunting related fatalities between two

318
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: thousand nine and two thousand thirteen. In Maine, same story.

319
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: In the seventies, there were three hundred and seventeen hunting

320
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: incidents and thirty nine fatalities, according to the Portland Press Herald.

321
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: From two thousand to two thousand nine, the state only

322
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: saw ninety three accidents and six fatalities. I got one

323
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: more for you. Washington state hunting incidents peaked in the

324
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: seventies with four hundred and forty one separate incidents, which

325
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: really sounds like a lot like a Rainier fueled sasquatch

326
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: hunt or let's be honest, Washington State in the seventies,

327
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: I'm thinking these were pot farm disputes conveniently covered up

328
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: by hunting season. In the two thousand tens, that number

329
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: dropped from fourty one to forty nine. And if I'm

330
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: not mistaken, quick little Google search here, yep, coincides with

331
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: the opening to the medical card carrying public dispensaries in

332
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: the state. See I cracked the cold case there. Yeah, well,

333
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: you know that's just like your opinion, man, I should

334
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: be on one of those Solve the Crime in thirty

335
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: minutes or less tv shows. Sometimes hunters are just an

336
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: easy target, get it. That's a tasteless joke. It doesn't

337
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: matter which state you're looking at. Hunting accidents, injuries, and

338
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: deaths have dropped across the board. But why first? In

339
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties, states began requiring hunters, say fifty courses

340
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: to get out in the woods. You can see this

341
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: in the charts in every state I looked at. Hunting

342
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: incidents remained steady throughout the sixties and seventies and began

343
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: to fall in the eighties. By the nineties, states started

344
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: to see a market decline in the number of folks

345
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: killed or injured in the field. Hunter orange requirements likely

346
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: helped as well, and Dirkin reports that reduced deer drives

347
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: and hunting for tree stands also played a role. Deer

348
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: Drives can be dangerous if too many hunters are occupying

349
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: a small section of land and aren't communicating well. Tree

350
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: stands increased visibility and allow hunters to shoot towards the

351
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: ground at an angle, which reduces the chances of a

352
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: bullet ending up uh someplace that shouldn't. Maybe this goes

353
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: without saying, but keep it up everyone. Safety and firearms

354
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: go hand in hand. Here are a few things to

355
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: remember the next time you're out in the woods. Treat

356
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: every firearm as if it's loaded. Don't point a firearm

357
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: at anything you're not willing to destroy. Keep your finger

358
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: off the trigger at all times until you are ready

359
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: to fire, and know your target and what's beyond your target. Oh,

360
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: and you know that safety is there for a reason.

361
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: Utah publish as an annual report detailing each year's hunting incidents,

362
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: and it's a sobering reminder that you can't let your

363
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: guard down when you're carrying a firearm. In two thousand nineteen,

364
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: one hunter was removing a shotgun when the barrel caught

365
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: on his foot while his finger was on the trigger.

366
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: The safety was off in his twelve gage removed his

367
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: middle toe. Another elk hunter that same year shot himself

368
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: in the foot when he slipped and fell backwards down

369
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: a hill. The safety on his three oh eight was off,

370
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: and the wound in his foot was bad enough that

371
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: he had to be rescued with a helicopter. Second, remember

372
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: to wear your safety harness in the tree stand. Tree

373
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: stand accidents are the most common kind of hunting accident,

374
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: but they can be avoided with the simple and sometimes

375
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: inconvenient habit of always wearing your safety harness. Finally, always

376
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: always clearly identify your target before you even shoulder your firearm.

377
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: If you can't clearly identify the vital area of your

378
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: target animal, you have no business pulling the trigger. I

379
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: know I'm speaking to the choir here. Hunters are some

380
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: of the most responsible, safety conscious people you'll meet, and

381
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: our track record has only gotten better over time. Still,

382
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: we can't let our guard down. Hunting accidents give ammo

383
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: to the anti hunting crowd and can turn the general

384
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: public against the activity, which could result in a lack

385
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: of access, not just a lack of friendly waving over

386
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: the steering wheel on country roads. The country of France

387
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: is a great example. Each year, about twenty people die

388
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: in hunting related accidents among the country's one point two

389
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: million hunters. For some context, they're about six hundred thousand

390
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: hunters in Wisconsin and the state has averaged less than

391
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: one fatality per year since two thousand six. Some French politicians,

392
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: probably the ones that survived hunting season, have accused hunters

393
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: of disregarding safe hunting practices. And there's a real possibility

394
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: that the country bands hunting on the weekend, which I

395
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: would suppose would limit the amount of crossfire. Twenty people

396
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: every year, twenty people every year. Somebody's gotta explain that

397
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: to me. I mean, I know the French are into

398
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: extreme sports and wingsuits and skiing at your own risk.

399
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: Maybe they just have a different version of hunting. Anyway,

400
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: we're on the right track here in the US. But

401
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: let's remember the French, who have given us the examples

402
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: of democracy and revolution, are also showing us what we

403
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: hunters could be losing by forgetting safety in the woods

404
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: and lastly, in an odd holiday barbecue miracle of sorts,

405
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: Georgia hunters that hang a stand in the Glasscock to Jefferson,

406
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: back to Glasscock up through Hancock and then cutting over

407
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: to the talia Faro lineup in Greene County. That type

408
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: of region, You folks have the legal opportunity at harvesting

409
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: or red stag. Georgia State biologists Charlie kill Master. That's

410
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: k I L L M A S t R. Old

411
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: Master boy. If that's the biologist name, what's the chief

412
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: warden's name. I'm sure it's not Tinkerbell. I'm sorry. If

413
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: your name is, it's taste of face. That's right. Do

414
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: you shoot tastes out of your face? It's metaphorical anyway.

415
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: Kill Master thinks the deer is likely an escape ee

416
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: from a high fence operation that is licensed nearby, the

417
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: owner of which does not want the animal back. The

418
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: Georgia d n R would like to test the animal

419
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: for disease no matter who or how it is killed,

420
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: and they have notified processing facilities in the area. Here's

421
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: a quote from Charlie kill Master. He's been betting down

422
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: in the day and moving at night. He's looking for love,

423
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: but he isn't going to find it. Anyone who sees

424
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: the deer, captures images of it, or needs to report

425
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: its destruction is asked to contact kill Master at seven

426
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: oh six seven three three zero. That's all I've got

427
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: for you this week. Thank you so much for listening.

428

Speaker 1: up with a clean, quiet chainsaw that you can fill

435
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: with canola oil and make butchering a breeze this holiday season,

436
