Speaker 1: great to see the enthusiasm right of all all these

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: Turkey fans. We helped MC host the Grand Slam after

83
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,479

84
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: money for NWTF, sell some raffle tickets that went good.

85
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,520

86
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: owl contest, which you know, you would think you're an

87
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: NWTF like it would just be no problem to find

88
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: just twenty of them that sound just like a damn owl.

89
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: Really sad, I don't know if we're just somehow we're

90
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: still looking in the wrong places where we're not getting

91
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: the word out that or it's only Clay and I

92
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: that actually appreciate someone that can actually do a good

93
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: voice awl cal Well.

94
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: I also feel like in the past we've we feel

95
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: like we've heard good ow you know, it's always the

96
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: last place where we heard some good ones. Or last

97
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 3: year we heard some good ones and maybe we're just.

98
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: Did you hear a couple three good ones? And we

99
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 1: had that at the at the convention too. But again

100
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: we were thinking that like, oh my god, it's gonna

101
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: be very tough to vet this crowd to get eight

102
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: of them to get come on stage, because we're going

103
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: to have fifty good ones. Yeah, it wasn't the case.

104
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: The next day we hung out in the booth for

105
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: about six hours and it actually wasn't too bad. But

106
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: and that's my favorite part because you just talk to

107
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: fans coming through and it's good to get the one

108
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: on one feedback, you know, and hear what they appreciate

109

Speaker 2: Yeah, there is no red Man anymore.

127
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: Nope, it's America's best. But back in the day, red

128
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: Man used to sponsor.

129
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: Oh they changed the name.

130
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, changed understandably. Understandably. Well, ye, honest, since you asked

131
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: about my weekend, I'll tell you.

132
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: A little bit about my weekend. You did that before

133
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: I asked you about your weekend. On on Thursday, Steve

134
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 3: and I went to Cody and we went to the

135
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: Cody Firearms Museum. Shout out to Danny and Emma there.

136
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: Gave us a little tour, saw some super cool stuff.

137
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: I think they run the joint. Uh.

138
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: Danny is the curator of the firearms collection, and then

139
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: Emma is from their marketing team. And we got to

140
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: hold guns, one of which was owned by Oliveryt and Johnson,

141
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: the inspiration for Jeremiah Johnson, and then the other one,

142
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: the Provedance, is a little more cloudy, but allegedly belonged

143
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: to one Jed Smith. So some real mountain man heavy

144
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: hitters there.

145
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: That place is so impressive. I was there last winter.

146
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: I think it's cool.

147
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: I think you said they had six thousand firearms in

148
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 3: the collection or on display one of the two, and

149
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 3: that they have drawers you can just pull out drawers

150
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: full of guns.

151
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and my.

152
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 3: Favorite part was they have when you walk in, they

153
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: have because it's it's made. The museum is geared both

154
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: towards weirdos like myself and towards just general, you know,

155
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: tourists who don't have experience with guns, so it explains

156
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: like bolt action, pump action, whatever else. And there's a

157
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: bolt action that is the most probably one of the

158
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: most cycled bolt actions in the world. It's literally falling

159
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 3: apart because it's probably got a million cycles on it

160
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: from every kid that walks in there and does it

161
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: thirty times as fast as they can. Yeah, it's pretty

162
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: weird to see what happens when you just wear one

163
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: of those things out that's cool. Afterwards, Steve and I

164
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: gave a talk about the mountain men at the Cody

165
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: Culture Club invited us down and one Jim Zumbo was

166
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: in attendance. Local Jim Zumbo, lovely man. It's nice to

167
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: meet a living legend. And then I went to the

168
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 3: Hunt Expo in Salt Lake.

169
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: Again.

170
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: I got to see a lot of the folks there

171
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 3: that tune in, and it's always nice to meet people

172
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: that appreciate the weird stuff that I do and that

173
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 3: we do together. Shout out to Kaid Loyal Media to

174
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: Radio Live listener with whom I shared a multi beverage.

175
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's listening.

176
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: Oh, I think he is. I'm guessing he is. Good guy,

177
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: good guy. Competitive rim fire shooter. Oh, which interests me

178
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: to no end.

179
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: I've been doing some competitive shooting lately. I meant to

180
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: talk about this, I think last week excuse me shooting

181
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: bows and arrows. Oh yeah, I'm shooting my first ever

182
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: league and I encourage everybody. Like. The worst part about

183
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: it is realizing how much fun it is and then

184
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: realizing that I haven't done it for the last forty

185
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 1: years like I should have been maybe or maybe not

186
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: i'd be a better shooter. I don't know, but I.

187
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: Definitely feel that way about video games.

188
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: I've definitely missed out on a lot of fun. Yeah,

189
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, and but no, it's also fun to shoot well.

190
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: And I didn't know how well I was shooting. But

191
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: my buddy Jeremy, you know, I love Jeremy, but we've

192
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: been there's a little bit of a gentleman's scoring going

193
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: on a little bit, and so where the eight ring

194
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: and the insert outline are oftentimes can be kind of blurry.

195
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes if it's a really big insert, it's very clear,

196
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: but other times it's close. And sometimes if it's just

197
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: in the insert, we were like, oh, yeah, that's an eight.

198
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: Outside of the insert, it's a five. Well, no, you

199
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: got to be within the eight ring or touching the

200
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: eight ring to get an eight. So I felt like,

201
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't really care because I'm just like, I'm there

202
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: to have fun, stretch the string, keep my bow muscles active. Well.

203
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: As soon as you see your name on the leaderboard

204
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: and you're like top ten, then there's going to be scrutiny, right,

205
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: and so you can't be like, oh, yeah, we have

206
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: this gentleman's scoring, and I you know what I mean.

207
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: So I called the shop and I said, look, you

208
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: guys got to knock off fifteen points off my square

209
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: because I think on average we've probably at least been

210
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: doing that once around. Now, good for you with pure

211
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: honest scoring. Last night, I still shot my best.

212
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: Round ever, nicely done.

213
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: So I'm stoked. And like I said, I encourage everybody

214
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: to do an archery league. Man, it's just super fun.

215
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: Stretching the string is what is that like burning some

216
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: powder in the archery world.

217
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know where I came up with that.

218
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: I like it.

219
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I've never heard that before.

220
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: You should make a T shirt this is stretched the string.

221
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna think about that for a day or two,

222
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: but yeah.

223
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 2: I love it.

224
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: You love it?

225
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: Okay, very marketable. You're done. We're done.

226
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I can talk about an archery club for forever.

227
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: No, let's talk to it. Let's talk to my friends.

228
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 2: Scott here.

229
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm interested to hear about what s guy has

230
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: to say about the American Prairie.

231
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: Our first guest today is Scott Heidebrink, Director of Landscape

232
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 3: Stewardship at American Prairie. Scott welcome to the show.

233
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 6: Hey, thanks for having me.

234
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: Appreciate it, Scott. Some of our listeners may have seen

235
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: a story about a recent federal land management decision involving

236
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: American Prairie. Can you give us the basics who American

237
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: Prairie is, what you're trying to do, and why you've

238
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: been in the news lately.

239
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: Sure.

240
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're a nonprofit organization. We with a goal of

241
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 6: seeing a fully functioning ecosystem prairie ecosystem here in Montana.

242
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 6: So that's kind of three pillars for US land, wildlife,

243
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 6: and people, and so focusing on habitat, the animals that

244
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 6: use that habitat, and the people that come to see

245
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 6: or utilize those animals on the landscape. And yeah, like

246
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 6: you said, why we're why we've been in the news

247
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 6: is that the Bureau of Land Management and the Secretary

248
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 6: of the Interior have have changed or may day per

249
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 6: posed decision to cancel our bison grazing leases which have

250
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 6: been in place for some of them for up for

251
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 6: twenty years, and to convert them back to cattle leases.

252
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: So that's the that's the short story there, gotcha.

253
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: So for those who who are unfamiliar with how this

254
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 3: stuff works. Can you explain what it means to have

255
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: a BLM grazing lease and uh, how these leases factor

256
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 3: into your bison program, because that's that's what you guys

257
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: are really known for in a lot of ways. I

258
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: think when people think American Prairie, they think bison.

259
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

260
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 6: Sure, So with with the BLM here in the West,

261
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 6: where you have these public lands, they're they're often interspersed

262
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 6: with private lands. And how the grazing system was set

263
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 6: up is that when you purchase a piece of deeded property,

264
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 6: you have the opportunity to have grazing privileges on neighboring

265
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 6: allotments or on these federal lands. And so when you

266
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 6: purchase these properties, you have the first shot at leasing

267
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 6: those lands. And so when we buy property at American Prairie,

268
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 6: we also retain those leases that go with them, and

269
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 6: that's integraling into our bison program. About two thirds of

270
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 6: our acres that we have bison on our BLM acres,

271
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 6: and so that's how we've been able to grow our

272
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 6: herds over the past twenty years, from sixteen animals in

273
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 6: two thousand and five to the nine hundred and forty

274
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 6: that we have right now, gotcha.

275
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: And just so you've got nine hundred and forty. Now

276
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 3: I'm kind of skipping ahead a little bit, but you

277
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 3: guys also have cattle grazing on American prairie lands. Can

278
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: you give folks because you hear a lot of times

279
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 3: like they want to replace all the cattle with buffalo.

280
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 3: That's sort of what some of the critics would say

281
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 3: about your organization. Can you give us some of the

282
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: statistics about cattle versus buffalo on your property? We're on

283
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: your and your leases as well.

284
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have so.

285
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, in addition to the two properties that have bison on,

286
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 6: we have thirty six lesses across the other over five

287
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 6: hundred thousand acres that we manage. That we have about

288
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 6: eighty two hundred cattle right now that are grazing on

289
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 6: these other allotments that we don't have bison on.

290
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: Gotcha.

291
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: So bison are just a fraction of the overall grazing

292
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: that happens on American prairie right.

293
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, we can figure roughly like ten percent of the

294
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 6: land base and ten percent of the animals.

295
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: Gotcha.

296
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: Now, the BLM's justification for revoking these leases centers on

297
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: the argument that bison aren't livestock because they're not managed

298
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 3: for production, and those are the words that they are using.

299
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: How do you explain that legal interpretation and does it

300
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: accurately reflect how you guys think of that that bison heard?

301
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 5: Uh?

302
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 6: No, it does not accurately reflect that. So, yeah, we

303
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 6: we have always been classified as livestock in Montana. That's

304
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 6: the only classification we have for bison. And so over

305
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 6: the past twenty years that we've owned bison, we've been

306
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 6: operating under the Taylor Grazing Act. At no point has

307
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 6: anyone told us we were not in compliance with the Act.

308
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 6: And so, you know, when I look at our herd,

309
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 6: we do we do manage differently. We manage you know,

310
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 6: for even our natural sex ratios and natural herd demographics

311
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 6: and things like that where we are a little different.

312
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, we are still

313
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 6: running in operation where we are producing animals on the landscape.

314
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 6: We've produced about twenty We've grown twenty one hundred bison

315
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 6: that American prairie over our first twenty years, and forty

316
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 6: eight percent of those animals we're either field harvested or

317
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 6: shipped to other herds for genetics or to grow or

318
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 6: supplement other herds. So although we do it a little

319
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 6: differently and our management is a little different, you know,

320
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 6: we are we are producing, we are shipping out animals,

321
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 6: we are harvesting those animals.

322
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I would like to point out, just as

323
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 3: sort of a for my own sake, it's a bit

324
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: of a brag. I have one of those animals in

325
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 3: my freezer thanks to my wife's opportunity a couple of

326
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 3: years ago. And yeah, it's we killed that on BLM

327
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 3: land on one of your leases. So that's to give

328
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: folks a picture of what this looks like in the field,

329
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: Like we were on BLM ground on on X when

330
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: we when we shot that buffalo, Scott. There there are

331
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: other there are other people grazing bison on BLM lands

332
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 3: across the west. The BLM is acknowledged in twenty twenty

333
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 3: two that Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming,

334
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 3: they all have federally administered leases where bison grays. How

335
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: can you reconcile that, or how can they reconcile that

336
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 3: with its current position regarding American prairie.

337
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I think there's there's a couple of things there.

338
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 6: We're looking you know there the facts that are being

339
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 6: used to make this proposed decision are not based on

340
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 6: what's actually happening on the ground. They're based on a

341
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 6: few very vague or old quotes or documents that are

342
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 6: being used to define our management. And so with that,

343
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 6: I think, you know, I've I've been grazing bison for

344
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 6: ten years now.

345
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: We we don't.

346
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 6: We have never been told that we were not in

347
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 6: compliance with this, and so it's kind of out of

348
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 6: left field for us. And we feel like we're being

349
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 6: targeted here for our specific management, even though we are

350
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 6: producing something something on the landscape here, which is all

351
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 6: those bison.

352
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: And so.

353
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 6: I think the BLM is making an effort to not

354
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 6: impact others, but at the end of the day, it

355
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 6: is targeting, targeting us for our different kind of management.

356
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think we would be remiss if we

357
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 3: didn't acknowledge that there is controversy that bubbles up whenever

358
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: American Prairie is mentioned. Your organization has critics that argue

359
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 3: that it's a it's a threat to the livelihood of

360
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: ranching and ranching communities. We already heard that your operation

361
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 3: is mostly grazing cattle on lands and leases. But I'm

362
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: wondering how you guys respond to those critics in terms

363
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 3: of your relationship to the communities around American Prairie.

364
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

365
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 6: So, so I'm from a rural community. I totally get

366
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 6: the fear of you know, somebody new coming in a

367
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 6: big landowner changes things like that, and I'm really empathetic

368
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 6: to that. I I understand all of that, and you know,

369
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 6: I would ask people, you know, to look at the

370
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 6: facts and actually what's happening on the ground out there.

371
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 6: You know, with the eighty two hundred cattle, with the

372
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 6: thirty some less eas We have a wild wildlife friendly

373
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 6: land management program for private landowners with twenty one participants

374
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 6: in it, and so, you know, at the end of

375
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 6: the day, I think there is that fear component, but

376
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 6: in practice, we're we're working with a lot of people

377
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 6: on the landscape that have lived there for a really

378
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 6: long time. And I think there are a lot of

379
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 6: other factors outside of American Prairie that are really impacting

380
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 6: the ranching community, like the demographics of the region, or

381
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 6: policy changes at the federal level, things like that that

382
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 6: are that are really hurting the ranching economy in the

383
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 6: ranching community.

384
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Scott, I at this point, I think we can

385
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 3: assume you've you've mentioned this as a proposed decision. Can

386
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: you tell us a little bit about the next steps.

387
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 3: I assume that there's going to be a challenge to

388
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 3: this in the courts, and I've seen that some other

389
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 3: groups have spoken up on American Prairie's behalf. Can you

390
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 3: tell us a little bit about, like what the road

391
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 3: looks like ahead of you.

392
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, So we're in this protest period right now. Well,

393
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 6: the protest period has ended. All the protests have been

394
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 6: turned over, and essentially what that means is that interested

395
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 6: parties are making arguments as to why this is a

396
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 6: valid decision or a not valid decision. And so, yeah,

397
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 6: like you said, American Prairie, we submitted our own protests

398
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 6: because it directly impacts us. But then groups like Western

399
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 6: Watersheds Projects, Tonka Fund, the Coalition of Large Tribe Defenders

400
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 6: of Wildlife have all submitted protests against this proposed decision.

401
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 6: And so at the end of the day, Well, the

402
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 6: BLM will analyze all these protests and they will make

403
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 6: a final decision whether that's to keep the current proposed

404
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 6: decision or something else, or to go back to the

405
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 6: old permit with the bison. There's a wide range of

406
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 6: options there. At the end of the day, this is likely.

407
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 6: There's two paths after the protest period, which are either

408
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 6: Federal Quarter, Administrative Court, and we don't know what route

409
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 6: it's going to take yet, and so either either way,

410
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 6: it will likely head one of those routes.

411
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 3: Though, gotcha, and I mentioned earlier when we when I

412
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 3: was lucky enough to go on my wife's buffalo hunt,

413
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 3: we ended up harvesting that animal on BLM ground. Or

414
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 3: would would your inability to graze buffalo on BLM impact

415
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 3: public hunting opportunities because you guys offer twenty some harvest

416
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 3: opportunities for the public each year.

417
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: Is that going to be affected at all if this

418
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 2: goes through.

419
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, likely will be affected. As of right now, we're

420
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 6: moving forward as normal operations until we know what the

421
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 6: BLM's decision is. One that has made you know the bison.

422
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 6: Two thirds of the acres that the bison are on

423
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 6: our federal land, and so if we have to remove

424
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 6: those bison, we have to move them to other properties

425
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 6: or ship them to other herds, things like that, and

426
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 6: so that will likely impact the harvest program. So, like

427
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 6: you said, twenty to thirty opportunities a year right now

428
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 6: that would likely be reduced or eliminated for a period

429
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,239
Speaker 6: of time until we're through all the steps we need

430
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 6: to take with the courts.

431
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: Gotcha.

432
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: Well, Scott, we're going to keep a close eye on this.

433
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 3: Thanks for coming on the show. And hopefully I'll see

434
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 3: as soon at a fence pull or something like that

435
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 3: somewhere out on the prairie.

436
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, sounds good. Thanks for having me, guys.

437
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Scott. Thanks Scott.

438
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: That's a good dude right there.

439
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: I need to remember to put in for that tag

440
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: I always forget.

441
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: Oh, the coolest, the coolest, one of the coolest things

442
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 3: I've ever done, in terms of just being on a

443
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: wild landscape only people hunting.

444
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: It just wild animals.

445
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 3: They're you know, they don't they might technically be live stock.

446
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 2: But they don't act like it.

447
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: They're spooky.

448
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's like it's like aneloe punting uh the

00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: I brought a white tail buck?

461
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: And this buck the story behind it goes it was

462
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving Day, and no it wasn't Thanksgiving Day.

463
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: It was a day before Thanksgiving. I hadn't killed a

464
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: deer yet.

465
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 2: And this is twenty twenty two.

466
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 4: Twenty one, oh, twenty twenty one, I haven't written round

467
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 4: the back.

468
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: I was driving.

469
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 4: So I planned to go to a deer hunting spot

470
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: and just stay there through Thanksgiving for like a you know,

471
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 4: till the end of the season basically. And on my

472
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 4: way there, I left super early in the morning. It

473
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 4: was just cracking daylight. I'm in my in my car

474
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 4: heading to the spot, and I just happened to see

475
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 4: this guy cross the road in front of me and

476
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 4: did the old pull up on X real quick, see

477
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 4: if there's anything look around. Sure enough, he like dropped

478
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 4: down in a drainage that led right to a piece

479
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 4: of state ground.

480
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: So I drove up there, parked my vehicle got.

481
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 4: Down in that drainage where it crossed the state ground

482
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 4: and sat there and waited for probably I don't know,

483
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 4: thirty forty minutes.

484
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: And here you come. He popped out. Yeah, and then

485
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: I killed him.

486
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: Nicely done. Let me shoot him with.

487
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 4: Uh six or five creed more, I'll do it. Yeah,

488
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 4: just like four hundred and twenty five yards.

489
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: Beautiful.

490
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 2: Oh it's a nice buck.

491
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

492
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 4: I cut him up, threw him in the truck, stopped

493
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: and got a case of bush light, and then went

494
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 4: to my friends for Thanksgiving.

495
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: Beautiful.

496
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: We celebrated this buck. I liked it.

497
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 2: He's broken, yeah, fighter, Oh yeah, got some gird.

498
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 4: It would have been you know, a big score if

499
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 4: if he still had those points, you know what I mean?

500
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, if you'd grown it. Could you imagine if the.

501
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: Other year I got it? What do you think? Two

502
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: year old year old? Probably three? My three year old? Yeah?

503
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 4: That that that's a very typical Montana buck.

504
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: That reminds me of my idea for a hunting program

505
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 3: that I host called could have been a booner where

506
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 3: I shoot two to three year old animals with a

507
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 3: lot of potential.

508
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: How most of my falls work out?

509
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: Yep, I'm not going wrong with that?

510
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I love it. I can't help myself. Janny,

511
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 3: do you want to go last?

512
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: I don't care. It's up to you. Why don't you

513
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: go on?

514
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: Don't you go? Do you want me to go?

515
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: Okay? I brought in two things. One is this here skull? Mmm?

516
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: Spooky you guys getting a good Oh? Yeah, it's the

517
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: bear skull. This is the second bear skull, the first bear.

518
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: Everybody asks this is your first bear? It kind of

519
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: really is, because it's the first bear A hunted. We

520
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: had a problem bear in my yard. I've probably told

521
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: this story a couple of years ago, and Mingus treat him.

522
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: He was eating our chickens. Mingus treat him, and I

523
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: was on the phone with the warden and he was like, well,

524
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: you can either shoot him right now out of the tree,

525
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: or I can come. And they're all shooting out of

526
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: the tree or out to get him. But once he's

527
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 1: been eating chickens, he's not going to quit eating chickens.

528
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: And it's just that's the how it is. Since then,

529
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: we've gotten a super like grizzly bear proof fence that

530
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: I've touched it, and I'm telling you you don't want

531
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: to touch our electric fence. So we haven't had any

532
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: chicken problems since then. So I shot a little baby

533
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: bear out of a tree one time, But this is

534
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: the first actually hunt. I went to Manitoba last spring

535
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: and did my first ever baited black bear hunt with

536
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: Craig and Mel McCarthy of North Mountain Adventures. And I

537
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: think on the third evening, classic hunt doesn't matter if

538
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: it's like spot in stock or baited, right, we hunt

539
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: one spot that that day we get pictures of like

540
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: two or three good bears at another bait spot, and

541
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: we decide to switch locations, so we go to another location.

542
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: Sure enough, no big bears show up there, and at

543
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: the first spot, this one shows up. So the third

544
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: night we go back and he showed up right at

545
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: last light. Again, what was cool? A couple things you're

546
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: gonna be able to see this, I think next Tuesday

547
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: we drop my Manitoba Barry episode. But a couple of

548
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 1: cool things about this hunt is like you're so close

549
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: to these bears, or like one afternoon sitting on a

550
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: baited hunt, like you get to see more beary activity

551
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: and observe more bears than you would in a decade

552
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: of doing spot stock hunting in Montana, you know what

553
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean, at least in my experience. So just all

554
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: the interactions amongst the bears, the crazy sounds that they make,

555
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: and then like their ability to figure stuff out, like

556
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: they love a beaver carcass for whatever reason we don't

557
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: actually know. Craig's got a theory that their mothers teach

558
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: them that in the spring, that's your first way to

559
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: get easy and meat is sit on a little beaver,

560
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: run and snag a beaver and you go, yeah, right, whatever.

561
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: We had barrels full of oats and corn soaked and

562
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: used fryer oil with a few pastries or birthday sheet

563
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: cakes on top. Whatever. If there was a beaver carcass

564
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: hanging there, the bears were like, we're gonna get that

565
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: thing before we mess around with whatever's in that barrel.

566
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: And they can smell it all, you know, I mean,

567
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: the bait is doped up with all kinds of fancy

568
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: smelling stuff. But they love that beaver carcass and so

569
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: like the first day we hung it way too easy

570
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: to grab and they just like the first bear goes

571
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: in there, takes it down out of the tree and

572
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: he goes off into the bush and you can hear

573
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,239
Speaker 1: him chewing on it for the next hour. You know,

574
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: another bear might go over there and try to take

575
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: it from him or whatever. So I'm like, well, we

576
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: don't want that, we want to see it. So we

577
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: started hanging it. We did like a high line and

578
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: then hung it off the middle. But that one didn't

579
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: work too good because it was almost just too difficult,

580
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: like they would like look and look, try to figure

581
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: it out. And maybe it was just the bears, like

582
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: the individual bears themselves, because the third night we did it,

583
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: we hung one kind of like you'd hang a bag

584
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: of food, you know, slung it over a branch, and

585
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: then tied it off. Just one bear comes in and

586
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: he's determined and he spends an hour. He'd like climbed

587
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: every single tree he could climb in the vicinity and

588
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: just is like thinking, thinking, thinking, looking, going out on

589
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: these little limbs, and I can't go out there. It

590
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: comes back and he finally figures out that that yellow

591
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: rope when he touches it, the beaver moves right, So

592
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: then he starts putting the rope in his mouth and

593
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: climbing down the tree, and the beaver's going up and

594
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: you get down to the bottom and let it go.

595
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: And again I didn't know. I don't know if the

596
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: bear knows that. Oh, if I do this enough times,

597
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: there's gonna be enough sort of force that something's going

598
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: to give and this beaver is going to drop out

599
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: of the sky. But can accident that Eventually that happens

600
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: and the beaver, just like our little not or whatever,

601
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: the new standing hold beaver hit the ground and he

602
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: got his So it was just like cool to see

603
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: bears doing bear things. And how like Clay's got a

604
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: new book coming out. I think it's about a year

605
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 1: out about the American bear and they, according to the

606
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: research Clays done, bears are like the most sort of adaptable,

607
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: curious animal out there. Like they're the ones that will

608
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: sort of see something and more human like right where

609
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, I need to know more.

610
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: I need dolphins.

611
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: Figure that out.

612
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: It likes dolphins.

613
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: I like dolphins are pretty cool, very sexual. Yeah, so

614
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: this big old boy. The cool thing about this bear

615
00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: when he finally came in is that there's a lot

616
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: of noises around a bait pile or bait you know,

617
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: a bait site. I guess, right, there's just like I mean,

618
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: at times there was a half a dozen bears and there,

619
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of interactions. And anytime there's

620
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: a sow with cubs, anytime another bear comes around, the

621
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: sow makes the cubs run up the trees. Right, So

622
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: it's just like this constant grunting and stuff running through

623
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: the brush, chasing each other, cubs going up and down trees.

624
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: When this dude got to probably seventy five eighty yards

625
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: of the bait, it was like the woods went silent,

626
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: like the mom the sow had moved these couple cubs

627
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: off of the bait and they were like at the

628
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: base of a tree. I don't know if they had

629
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: climbed yet, maybe they climbed a little ways, but it

630
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: was almost like the birds quit chirping, and it's just

631
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: like all you could hear was a little stream trickling

632
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 1: down behind me that was behind us. And he just

633
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: walked in just slow, and you know how those boars

634
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: do when their you know, toes are kind of pointed

635
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: in a little bit and started snaw and around. But

636
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: again limited experience for me, I'm like, is that the one,

637
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: Like I think it's not the one I can't. I've

638
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: been saying to myself that that soal was a really

639
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: good sized, good looking bear, and if she had been

640
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: in there by herself and no cubs, I've probably been like, oh,

641
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: I would shoot that bear. And this bear came in

642
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: and he was, you know, another whatever thirty percent bigger

643
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: than her. So I'm like, Okay, it's got to be

644
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: the right bear. She'd have brought it in a picture

645
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: of him. So anyways, Yeah, I got my first real

646
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: bear skull here. And then when I'm I'm excited about

647
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: the skull, I mean, skulls are always fun. But check

648
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: this out. This This is that bear's hide. And I

649
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 1: can't remember exactly. I think we squared him like close

650
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: to eight feet. Craig, I wish you were listening. You could,

651
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: you could call, you could write in and say, but

652
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a giant, huge bear, and I'm

653
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: gonna use this as an actual rug at my house.

654
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: Go ahead and flip her back on their stuff. I'm

655
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: not gonna put it on the wall. I'm gonna put

656
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: it on the floor. Our fireplace is kind of in

657
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: the wrong spot right now, so it's probably not gonna

658
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: be in the fireplace. Eventually when I move my woodstove

659
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: to a cozy little area, I'll do that. But now

660
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have it like in front of the couch

661
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: so you can put your feet on it. I'm gonna

662
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: let my dog lay on it because I want to

663
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: use it, you know, like it's a comfortable thing to

664
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: put your feet on, and.

665
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be warm, it'll be cool.

666
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've reached that point with a lot of animal

667
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 3: parts that I'm just like, I don't know, I'm gonna

668
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 3: hang onto this for twenty years in a box.

669
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 2: Somewhere, Yeah, just to look at it.

670
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, like Sydney's Sydney's bison robe sits on the couch.

671
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 3: The dogs love it, right, and you get to interact

672
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 3: with it every day, Right, you might as.

673
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: Well use it. You can always go get it. Well

674
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: maybe not always, but for right now, you can go

675
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: get another bear hide or another bison robe, you know,

676
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: if you get lucky to draw that hunt, and same

677
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: thing with these. These are like fun to look at

678
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 1: the skulls. But honestly, I'm gonna do more bear hunts.

679
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do more spot in stock hunts. I'm gonna

680
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: do more baited bear hunts the number one reason, I mean,

681
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: besides the adventure and enjoying a hunt. But as far

682
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: as something to take home, it's bear meat and bear grease. Yep,

683
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: Like I love eating bears when you're just like the

684
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: last twenty years, I feel like all I've been eating

685
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: is super lean venice of different types. And to have

686
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: like a freezer full bear meat, it's awesome.

687
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 2: Love it.

688
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: So there you go. It's my show and tell.

689
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 3: And before we later we'll explain a bit more about

690
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 3: your film. Yes, and we have some exciting announcements at

691
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 3: the very end of this, so stay tuned. But it's

692
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 3: coming out next week.

693
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe on Tuesday, the twenty fourth.

694
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: Cool Well, I brought in a I brought in a lion.

695
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: Highe No, it's been here the whole time.

696
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 2: It's been sitting in my office. So actually I didn't

697
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 2: bring it in.

698
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: You brought it down.

699
00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:58,959
Speaker 2: I brought it down.

700
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let me feel the claws about it. Yeah.

701
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 3: I just think this is one of the cooler, one

702
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 3: of the cooler things I have. It's a tome I

703
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 3: killed a number of years ago when I was living

704
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 3: in Missoula, and it's just a wild, wild animal to like, Yeah,

705
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,479
Speaker 3: look at the claws, look at the pads on its feet.

706
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 3: I had it hanging in my garage for a while

707
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 3: while I was butchering it, and just like messing with Like,

708
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 3: it's just an animal that you're not going to get

709
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 3: up close and personal with unless it's sedated, or unless

710
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 3: it's moved on.

711
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: To the next world, unless it's mauling you.

712
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 3: Unless it's malling you. Yeah, but speaking of delicious things

713
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 3: to eat, my god. Yeah, yeah, if I could put

714
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 3: a deer, if I had the option of putting a

715
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 3: deer in the freezer or a lion in the freezer

716
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 3: every year, it would probably be the lion.

717
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 2: Just for variety. Yeah, I mean, I'd still be hopefully

718
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: killing elk and things like that.

719
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: You have some kind of venison, yeah, but.

720
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, the.

721
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 3: I mean, we we made like a lot of polled

722
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 3: like barbecue sandwiches. Our favorite thing was making pasole with it,

723
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 3: like a Mexican stew where you'd ordinarily get a big

724
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 3: like pork shoulder and chop that up. But just a

725
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 3: super cool animal. It was a cool hunt. The only

726
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 3: animal I've hunted with hounds and that.

727
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: Was did you do it? With our buddy Pete, Yeah, Pete.

728
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 3: And then another another his buddies and yeah, we you know,

729
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 3: rode the sleds up and down for service roads. So

730
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 3: we cut a track and then went back, got all

731
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 3: the dogs chased downhill, treed. They actually the dogs split up.

732
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 3: One of them got on another cat's track and treed

733
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 3: that cat. We pulled those dogs off that cat, and

734
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 3: by the time we did that, the other dogs had

735
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 3: this one treed.

736
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 2: And so then we hiked back to the road back

737
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 2: up above.

738
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 3: The road and then shot him with twelve gates or sorry,

739
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 3: twenty gage slug, which was I figured the best thing

740
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: I had for like a thirty yard shot. Yeah, and

741
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 3: just super cool. But yeah, like again, the whole process

742
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 3: and the meet in the freezer was really the highlight

743
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 3: for me. Like Sydney was kind of like, this is

744
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: what you're doing, and then we got it in the

745
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 3: freezer and she was like, I would like you to.

746
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 2: Do that more.

747
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: So that's good.

748
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: I feel like that's the optimum outcome for hunt.

749
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's a very well manned species, especially in

750
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: our state of Montana, and I mean there's not enough

751
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: lions for everybody to have one in their freezer every year,

752
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: but a lot of quotas are never met. Yeah, and

753
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's a whole nother thing. The quotas

754
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: in our state are a little bit controversial right now,

755
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: but like, if you want to try it, there's opportunities

756
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: out there, you know. And if you want to be

757
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: a person like myself with a hound that wanted to

758
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 1: put one in the freezer every single year, like I

759
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: don't see why not. Yeah.

760
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 3: And if if for some reason someone had an allergy

761
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 3: to cat meat, I don't know if that exists or not,

762
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 3: and they ended up getting one and said, hey, does

763
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 3: anyone want this? I would be knocking down their door

764
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 3: to get.

765
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: Happy to take it.

766
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, I'm going tomorrow.

767
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: We got some snow. Finally, I'm gonna go out and

768
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: about dress warm. Maybe I'll get my keep moving. Well,

769
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: you don't want to be wearing is I'm gonna be

770
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: wearing this thermogrid uh merino top shape right against right

771
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: against my skin, underneath my soft shell. That'll be my

772
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: kit tomorrow, great piece for active.

773
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: Excellent, excellent. Tomorrow's a weekday, right, okay.

774
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I some days I guess a hunt for work Randall,

775
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: you knew that.

776
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just just you know, just occasionally. Uh, Phil,

777
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 2: what's the chat saying?

778
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: The chat?

779
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 2: How are they hanging in there?

780
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: Oh? God, Brent Reeves in the chase.

781
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 2: He probably wants he hasn't got enough of the new cooms.

782

Speaker 1: I'm sure.

784
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 5: But before we get there, Uh, let's see. Valancourt asks,

785
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 5: when Radio Live ends and it drops to the news segments,

786
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 5: will those do recording? And I recorded in a live

787
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 5: setting with questions comments from the YouTube chat, No, Valancourt,

788
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 5: they will. It will not be a live show.

789
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 3: No, but we recognize that this is a fun dynamic.

790
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 3: So I don't we don't have any concrete plans, but

791
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 3: we will do occasional I don't think we will abandon this.

792
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: Randall and I are in the midst of planning a

793
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: live tour. We don't know where it's gonna happen in

794
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: the United States. But uh so, if you want more live, Randall,

795
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,279

00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 3: McCullough Leland's daughter, whom we wished good luck on her

836
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:58,040

Speaker 3: of a squadron of Havelna's sweet.

838
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 2: Which was the term he used. And I believe that

839
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 2: if that's the technically appropriate term, I love it.

840
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 1: That'd be a good trivia.

841
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 2: He'll hit me.

842
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 5: You guys are very ducky people in here?

843
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: Are you not super? But what? But what is it?

844
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 5: It's just someone's just curious you've never shot a duck

845
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 5: or goose with a Jack Miner band or known anyone

846

847
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what that meant.

848
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what Jack miner. I know what a

849
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: band is, but I don't know what a Jack Miner.

850
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: I looked it up.

851
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 5: It's a big thing. There's a sanctuary in Canada apparently

852
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 5: that oh like it was banded a Jack Miner. Yeah something.

853
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 5: They're kind of unique in certain ways. But we can

854
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 5: just move past this. Let's see here we go. Mogor

858
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 5: are a lot of progress is being made in the

859

Speaker 5: new studio, and in the last week it's gone from

860
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 5: being kind of a cavernous, dusty space to nearly complete.

861
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 5: So I would show pictures, but I kind of just

862
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 5: want you guys to be surprised. It looks pretty good

863
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 5: and I'm excited about it. So that's the update on

864
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,719

865
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 5: month or two.

Speaker 7: Two weeks ago, February seventh, about roughly two weeks ago,

986
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 7: we turned in the manuscript for my.

987
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 8: Black Bear book.

988
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 7: It's currently titled American Bear, going to come out Spring

989
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 7: of twenty seven, Randall, you'll appreciate this.

990
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 8: It was one hundred and five thousand words. The manuscript

991
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:35,720
Speaker 8: was that'll do it. And just never been.

992
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 7: More excited for anything that I've done in terms of

993
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 7: career and everything. I just feel like it's kind of

994
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 7: a for me. It's just a defining piece of work.

995
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 7: And regardless of if anybody ever even reads it, I'm

996
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 7: it will be excited that it's in existence. And so

997
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 7: Spring of twenty seven. The timelines on these, you know,

998
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 7: book projects are just ridiculous, but it is what it is.

999
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 3: So I think next, I think you were trying to

1000
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 3: sell that book back when you and I were bear

1001
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 3: hunting on Prince of Wales three years ago.

1002
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 7: Maybe, Yeah, we got the contract two and a half

1003
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 7: years ago. Well, it'll be three years in August, and

1004
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 7: so we've been working on it for two and a

1005
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 7: half years and the last year was kind of a

1006
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 7: fever pace of work. And that it's been submitted to

1007
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 7: the to the publisher, and there's more work to be

1008
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 7: done once they get their hands on it and look

1009
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 7: at it. But the but the bulk of the work

1010
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 7: is done.

1011
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're done pouring your soul into it and bleeding

1012
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 2: for it.

1013
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 8: That's right.

1014
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 7: There's never nobody's ever written a bare book like this.

1015
00:52:54,120 --> 00:53:00,240
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not saying that it's there's just there's

1016
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 7: there's academic people that understand the history of wildlife trade

1017
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 7: and all this. There's people that understand biology. There's people

1018
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 7: that understand uh, Native American culture and ceremonialism around animals,

1019
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 7: and then there's hunters that have like real life experience

1020
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 7: with bears and and there's there would be books and

1021
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 7: information in all of those sectors, but this is kind

1022
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,240
Speaker 7: of a combination of all these things.

1023
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: Are there any pictures in this book, Clay, I hope

1024
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: so it's you know, you know, oh is that still

1025
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 1: up for debate?

1026
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, anytime, that's up to a higher power.

1027
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah.

1028
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I would hope there's pictures, but it's it.

1029
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 7: If it is, it would be minimal.

1030
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: You know.

1031
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 7: That's just kind of the way books work. I don't

1032
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 7: you know, It's like books are big into words.

1033
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: I hear, okay, I just you know, for me, little

1034
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: pictures go a long way. You know, when I flip

1035
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: through and I see a couple of pictures that, you know,

1036
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:15,240
Speaker 1: I get I get engaged. Give us a little tidbit.

1037
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you've you've shared a lot of little tidbits

1038
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:21,240
Speaker 1: with us about like what you learned about black bears

1039
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: that you didn't know before starting on this project. What's

1040
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: something cool you learned about bears you didn't know a

1041
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: year ago.

1042
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 7: That's a good question. It's it's so so big. I mean,

1043
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 7: you know the bear grease oil trade. As Randall is

1044
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 7: just a national expert on on the deer hide trade

1045
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 7: and the buffalo market hunting and all that stuff. You know,

1046
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 7: there's a whole giant story about bear grease and bear

1047
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 7: market hunting, and and we tell that story, though that's

1048
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 7: not the entire book. And you know, basically, the Mississippi

1049
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 7: River in between the Appalachian Mountains and the Great Plains

1050
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 7: would have just been a bear grease highway, especially in

1051
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 7: the latter half of the seventeen hundreds into the early

1052
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 7: eighteen hundreds, just a ton of bear grease coming down

1053
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 7: coming down that river. And Native Americans heavily involved in

1054
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 7: the bear grease oil trade.

1055
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 1: What were people do? What were people doing with bear

1056
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 1: grease back then?

1057
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 7: Well, there was a period of time when animal fat

1058
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 7: oils were essential to human life.

1059
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 8: I mean they were cooking with it, they were frying.

1060
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 7: With it, they were using it as dressings for salads.

1061
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 7: That's what a lot of first contact Europeans saw Native

1062
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 7: Americans doing in the East was using it on greens like.

1063
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 8: No they saw.

1064
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 7: The first account of the word bear grease in the

1065
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:04,760
Speaker 7: history oracle literature was July fifth, fifteen forty Hernando Desoto's

1066
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 7: scribe name Elva. He said he was in what is

1067
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 7: now eastern Tennessee, and they came upon a tribe and

1068
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 7: they said they noted that they stored large quantities of

1069
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 7: what they called bear grease in gourds, and they said

1070
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 7: that the Native Americans anointed themselves with it daily, and

1071
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 7: they were like using like copious amounts of barreil on

1072
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 7: their skin. And that's what Native Americans were doing, the

1073
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 7: barre oil market trade. They were using it for food,

1074
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 7: but they were also using it for fuel. The first

1075
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 7: street lights ever in the world were in New Orleans. Okay,

1076
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 7: so just think of the world as being run by firelight,

1077
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 7: basically no artificial lights, no electricity. And New Orleans was

1078
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 7: such a rough town that these rich neighborhoods said, man

1079
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 7: got to have some lights at night on the street,

1080
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 7: so these criminals can't just run around. And so they

1081
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 7: put oil burning lamps hung out on a little post.

1082
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 7: And and they were using pelican oil, bear grease and

1083
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 7: whale oil in in in those and it it may

1084
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 7: not have been the first in the world, the first

1085
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 7: and in North America. The first street lights in America

1086
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 7: burned some barre oil, and you know, they were using

1087
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 7: it for making soap. Candles. You know, candles were essential

1088
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 7: for for light. I mean it's like a light bulb.

1089
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:40,959
Speaker 8: I mean like.

1090
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 7: Everybody had them, everybody used them, everybody ran through them

1091
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 7: and needed more.

1092
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:47,479
Speaker 8: And uh, you know.

1093
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,840
