0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:13.320
<v Speaker 1>This is me eater podcast coming in you shirtless, severely

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 1>bitten and in my case, underwear listening podcast. You can't

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 1>predict anything. How's it going, guys? Yo? When we got

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>up here, we're doing a thing called sound check, and

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>we found out that well, Jimmy Dorn was all excited

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 1>about Eddie Vetter and him jumping around up here right there.

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>But more important than that is who Denie. Who Deny

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>was on this stage was right about here two times.

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>My brother always likes to talk about how who Deny died? Where?

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Who Denie fell? That? Do you guys know this? He

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>felt that he could like clench his stomach and withstand

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.960
<v Speaker 1>any blow, and some kid was like, well, I'll try

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>it and killed him man like hit him. He did. Well,

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>we got what we were discussing that. We thought you

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.839
<v Speaker 1>were part of the conversation, but you obviously weren't listening

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to us. The stage manager told us that, yes, that happened,

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>but that's not what killed him. Yeah, it did. It

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.199
<v Speaker 1>rupture his appendence. He tried to do a trick after

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>that in a water tank right to get through his act.

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>He couldn't get through his act, went back, wouldn't go

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.759
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital or something like that, and died. Wasn't

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>this stage we should exactly he died and they said

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>they cut out they cut out a beam under the

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>stage that's still cut from his act in like nive

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>or more theater. Oh my introductions, um the Lavin Eagle,

<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Doran's pizza restaurant. Hopefully not that much longer. How

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>many years you've been at Belltown sixteen and then there's seventeen.

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I've been running it for owning it for

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 1>fifteen and then uh yeah, hopefully winding down. So he

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I told him he doesn't even if he doesn't say

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>anything tonight, that's all that I told him. He doesn't

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>ever say anything. We just wanted to be represented by

0:02:49.320 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>a generalist, seattleite outdoorsman. This guy he likes he likes

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>to catch salmon, he likes to shoot at deer, he

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>likes to root and like like every dude I know

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 1>in Seattle, like every guy in Seattle. He's like, well, yeah,

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>but I like the Seahawks a long time ago. Oh

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I did. I like the Seahawks when they sucked, but

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>we've been very fortunate they don't suck anymore. My favorite story,

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I think is when you tell him about Jimmy's turkey hunt.

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>How like overnight he became an expert turkey hunter because

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>you guys walked up on some turkeys one time. That's

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>a good story. We were actually driving back from a

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>set in the morning where we had sat out and

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>froze our asses off and didn't see a thing. And

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>we were two weeks into the turkey season, and I

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 1>believe the guide took us to a place where everything

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>had been shot and our guide, uh was We were

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>just literally driving back and he's like, hey, I just

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>want to check this little sliver Republic. And we were

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>just taking a meandering route through this one little sliver

0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>around the Colville area, and we came around a corner

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>and there was literally eight tom's in the road and

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>we basically jumped out of the truck and shot him

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>and we got a tax. He's like, what's the heart

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>about this. Yeah, it always happens that way. I didn't

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>really call it a hunt. I called it more of

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>a shoeing. Get it gets a good way. And then

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>uh are very on Sam London? If you Sam? Sam

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.839

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>for us? What's that your people are up top? I

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know. The guys don't matter. Oh yeah, tell where

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.599

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 1>bass Lewis McCord, we have Seth Wheeler, who I met earlier,

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>So him and his teammate are here. Good dudes been

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>in and out of war zones for a long time now.

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>As we were just discussing and um and then I

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>used to kind of be I was like a temporary

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>seatlite uh And I got all nostalgic here because we

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>rented a how's it air It's like a it's an Airbnb,

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>but it's more like a hotel. I feel like it's

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 1>uh like an apartment building department which looks down on

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:28.599
<v Speaker 1>my main most important squid jigging spot. And it got

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:33.039
<v Speaker 1>super nostalgic about that. Um Man, I didn't realize how

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:34.719
<v Speaker 1>much I was gonna miss it. I moved in August,

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and I got to thinking about razor clams, jigging squid

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 1>and the thing I like most. And this is why

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't trust anyone in this audience. It's because when

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I lived here, I discovered that you guys are sitting

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>on the continents greatest yellow perch fishery. Now, don't do that.

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Don't do that, because I'm telling you, me and my

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.799
<v Speaker 1>little boy hit it hard and we never once saw

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:08.359
<v Speaker 1>a serious perch fisherman on that lake. And you know

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the lake I'm talking about, it's a big gass lake.

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>And and as you catch fish, cyclones of perch come

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>up with the one you're reeling in. It's unbelievable. And people,

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 1>because you guys are steelhead and salmon snobs, I had

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 1>to I had like defend myself constantly as a perch

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>fisherman from Michigan, but a guy from Oregon with a

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>boat so that we could get out there and fish together. Yeah,

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>our body had to drive up with a boat from

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Portland to take us perch fish in the time. That

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 1>guy that he ate his first ever small mouth bass

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>on Lake Washington in that bass boat, remember the spark

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 1>bash We fished perch out of that um that that

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>was Matt Elliott's Matt Elliott Special basketball. He came up

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 1>to fish bass, but I've filled his little live all

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 1>up the perch. Well, they haven't opened the socky season

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>for such a damn long time that maybe people should

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>just get into perch instead. Yeah, what is what is? Uh?

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>When was the last time that that wasn't six? I believe,

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>So there's no sock fishery. No, they haven't come back

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>in the number of seas the last time. The last

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>time it was open, my dad and I ran our

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 1>boat down from Whidby through the locks through Lake Union

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>into Lake Washington fish stock for a couple of days

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>and then went all the way back. It's crazy when

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>that when that, I hope it happens again someday because

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.959
<v Speaker 1>it's such a ship show. It's it's amazing to watch.

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>It looks like you'd walk all the way across the

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 1>lake from boat to boat, like canoes next to yachts,

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 1>next to like drift boats to people are mostly trolling, okay, um,

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know. I imagine you could jig them too,

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>because in the Fraser we used to line up with

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 1>like bouncing betties and then twenty ft leaders and then

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>go through In philosophy right right Washington You know, people

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>always talk about how soccer I don't don't eat, don't

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 1>grab stuff that people always phlosoph the But but we

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 1>troll uh a big flasher with a bare red hook

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>behind it. Yeah, no, they'll bite the hammer that bare

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>red octopus hook like size too. That's legal in the snow.

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.200
<v Speaker 1>You can do that here. Yeah, you're not snagging. They

0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 1>eat it. Yeah, we we weren't allowed because they would

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>eat a bear hook, but it was illegal in BC.

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:25.680
<v Speaker 1>So we had to put like a little tuft of green.

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Lot of dumb laws in b C. Did you have

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 1>to pinch your bar? There's a lot of dumb wall

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>laws in Washington two to play fair, yeah, but this

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>they got some wicked laws that she was just telling

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.840
<v Speaker 1>us about it. Explain about if you're if you're not

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 1>a resident, you can't Yeah this is recent, but if

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 1>you're a non resident of British Columbia you can't fish

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 1>on weekends in the Skina system. Were on several classified rivers. Yeah,

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.840
<v Speaker 1>when I fished the Bulkley, I had to pay forty

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 1>bucks a day for Thursday and Friday, and then they

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 1>kicked me off and we had to keep on driving. Yeah,

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the residents actually don't support it. It's

0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>a long story and it's very political, but it was

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 1>the Guide movement that pushed that, not us the guy,

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 1>because if you're fishing with the guide, you can fish weekends. Yeah,

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and I don't guide anymore, so don't don't point at me.

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>But it isn't there aren't there some streams that are

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>completely closed to like yeah, actually, there there are rivers

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>that are BC resident only. So it's not it's not

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 1>just Canade. There are yeah, like the Talkla. Yeah, um,

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>but even someone from Alberta can't fish the Talkla. No,

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>you've got to be a BC resident. Can you imagine

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.959
<v Speaker 1>trying to pass a lot like that in the United States? No, Max,

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:30.199
<v Speaker 1>we believe in American rights. Yeah, yeah, told all these

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>people they can't come fish the Madison. Uh, Sam, while

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you can you break down the thing I told you

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 1>to break down that that's happening here in Washington. Which

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 1>thing was that? You've got three things you gotta break down.

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 1>This is the first one about how the bill that

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 1>will never pass, but Washington's backpack in the example in

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the proposed Yeah, this is something I just read about

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 1>this week that there's legislation in the Washington State legislature. Uh,

0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.320
<v Speaker 1>that they're proposing to have what's broadly been taught about

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>is the backpack tax and hunting fishing world, which was basically,

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>have people who enjoy the benefits of what we as

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>hunters and anglers pay for with our excise taxes through

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.439
<v Speaker 1>the Pittman Robertson Act and the Dinghill Johnson Act. Um.

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.679
<v Speaker 1>So what they're proposing is to have a tax on

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>outdoor equipment over two hundred dollars, you know in in

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Washington state. No, no, no, no, two tents of one,

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.839
<v Speaker 1>but you would be exempted from said tax if you show,

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 1>if you could display a hunting or fishing license. Because

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>there I think it's a damn good idea. Yeah, I

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 1>am completely supportive of because you've already paid ten tax

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>on a bunch of your equipment and so now other

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>people are gonna pony up and it goes into the

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>wildlife fund. Yeah, it's great. It's great. And in Washington,

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>there's a hell of a lot more people who are

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>enjoying looking at wildlife and just that we're just enjoying

0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.319
<v Speaker 1>the idea of wildlife. There's a hell of lot more

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 1>than them than there are of us. Now, I haven't

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.800
<v Speaker 1>seen any polling data, but I'm gonna venture to guess

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:07.839
<v Speaker 1>that this will not be dead on arrival. That's a

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:12.200
<v Speaker 1>good idea. You know a thing I want to mention.

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I should have mentioned it. I should have pivoted when

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you guys were talking about uh, bear hooks. I just

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>want to throw this out because I was just we

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>just spent the weekend in Saint Martin, down in the

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>St Martin in the um, creeping for for a birthday party.

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 1>And I flew down with like hooks in a carry

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 1>on bag. But down there you cannot carry on to

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 1>a plane a fish hook, and up until very recently

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>in Canada you couldn't carry on your fishing, like your line,

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:46.200
<v Speaker 1>and in Australia still you cannot carry line on because

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna gear itt someone. I've had to gut reels

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:53.959
<v Speaker 1>in airplanes. But but shoes, strings, neckties are fun. That's

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>like with the hook, because either are like small hooks.

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, the worst you could do is you

0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 1>could get it in someone's clothes and then they would

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:06.080
<v Speaker 1>be like agitated trying to get it out until yeah,

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 1>they'd find a way to crimp the bar, and then

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.199
<v Speaker 1>but every already lost their leather man at t s

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 1>a check and so they wouldn't be able to crimp

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the bar. And then you'd like take advantage of the

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>confusion and fly the plane somewhere. But I'm like, that's

0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:20.439
<v Speaker 1>the case. You shouldn't be able to bring gum on

0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 1>because that ship is annoying when it gets in your

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>clothes too. So it's like I could forgot. They want

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>to know, they want to touch on is you know

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 1>how everybody knows, Like like I'm sure everyone knows the

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.839
<v Speaker 1>story of the guy in Colorado not too long ago

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that's strangled the mountain lion like that that that story

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>and no fault of the guy that did it, like

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 1>he he didn't brag it up. But that story has

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>gotten less and less interesting. It's now it's now that

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 1>it was a three month old, emaciated, twenty four pound

0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 1>orphan mountain lion kitten. That's like the media loved that story.

0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>If you think the lion attacked the jogger, the jogger

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 1>attacked the lion instead of the other way around, like

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>it's been reported. It was a kid. And again, the

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 1>dude didn't brag it up. I'm not saying he like

0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>sold it to something that wasn't. But the story has

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 1>just and has just gotten less interesting. There's less reporting

0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 1>on it. I haven't heard a word about it. Pretty

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>soon it's going to be that he strangled a therapy

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>dog rescue puppy. That's the only that's the only thing left. Uh,

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, Uh, there's a guy and I had to

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 1>coax this out of it. At first, this guy didn't

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 1>want me to even say what stated happened in but

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 1>then then he came. He warmed up to me saying

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>what stated happening. But as you know, Washington um did

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a very naughty thing years ago and made it that

0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>you're you're not allowed to use hounds to pursue mountain lions,

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 1>but you still held outlines. Let's check this out. Though.

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>There's a dude in this state. I don't want to

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>say where he is, but he he's careful to say

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 1>that he did not pioneer this technique where he's been

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.400
<v Speaker 1>going out here. We we exchanged some emails. He's been

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>going out and cutting mountain lion tracks in the snow.

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 1>So he does the same way like a houndsman does. Wait,

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 1>so the right amount of snow covers on the ground,

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and he goes out and cuts a track, and he

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>just follows that track and wait till things look right,

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and he sits down and uses a predator call, and

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.840
<v Speaker 1>then he follows the track and uses the predator call.

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>And he just got a nice big time doing that.

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Hundred sixty pounds. That's awesome, dude, that's awesome. That's a

0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 1>tricky hunting man. Yeah, man, I like that guy. Yeah,

0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 1>we're also working in the difficult system that you get

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 1>placed in. I remember that happening when they banned hunting

0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 1>with hunt lions with hounds. So he, uh, life gave

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 1>him lemons and he made a lemonade. Lemonade out of it.

0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>A hot tip guy roared in about this. I might

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 1>be the only guy that's gonna appreciate this. I previewed

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>it with you guys. Maybe you know what, how many

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 1>people in here run a stand up freezer instead of

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:14.800
<v Speaker 1>a chest because it's a smart audience. This guy, this

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 1>guy you was writing in that you know how you

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 1>get all your stuff in there and then it all

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.240
<v Speaker 1>falls out when you open the door. He buys those

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>spring loaded um curtain rods and crams everything in there,

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and it puts a springloaded curtain rod in there to

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>hold his to hold the ship in there so don't

0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.840
<v Speaker 1>come out prevent the meat. How does he do it?

0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Does he hold the one arm in and then try

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>to adjust him. Maybe he has his wife ELTI out.

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what he does. But like some people

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>get all excited about, like you know, the iPhone ten,

0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I hear ship like that, and I'm like, man, that's solid,

0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>that's a thing. That's the real new tech. Quickly, I

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 1>want to touch on too. A guy I was chatting

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 1>with recently was talking about ice fishing, and he had

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the observation that ice fishing it's just a place where

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 1>people go to do whatever they already normally do well

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>even better. Whereas like guys that like to talk, they

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 1>just talk better, and more guys that like to drink,

0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>they just drink more. People like to fish fish more.

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.440
<v Speaker 1>And that concerns me because that means that my kids

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 1>are only good at getting wet and cold because they

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:35.480
<v Speaker 1>do that even more. Out there, Um northing to touch on. Honest,

0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.280
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about this. I'm gonna I'm gonna put it

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 1>to bed. After this, But if you don't mind, for

0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 1>like the nineteenth time breaking down your advice your marriage

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>advice thing, because there's two final thoughts I have about it.

0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:53.760
<v Speaker 1>But but I want you to tell everybody to get

0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:55.919
<v Speaker 1>everybody up to speed. I just wish I remember to

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.240
<v Speaker 1>use it as often as you asked me to tell

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.400
<v Speaker 1>everybody about the advice because now, and like you, I'm

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 1>like man last week, that would have been really good

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to bring up the one to ten uh scale game.

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Um so I actually stole it from Wayne Dyer, who

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.520
<v Speaker 1>my dad used to not really force his vast to

0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 1>make us listen to Wayne Dyre tapes. Mostly I would

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:17.919
<v Speaker 1>just fall asleep, but every now and then you pick

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.600
<v Speaker 1>up something. But he's got a thing where if you're

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 1>in an argument, most arguments with spouses, um really aren't

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.120
<v Speaker 1>that all that important about like like who's gonna win

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.920
<v Speaker 1>it or who's gonna be right. It's just you really

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>just want to get through it. So his his way

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.679
<v Speaker 1>to do that is to stop. And everybody assigns of

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:41.560
<v Speaker 1>value to how important they think the argument is and

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 1>how important like having it go their way is on

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.320
<v Speaker 1>a scale one to ten, and so you just stop

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.040
<v Speaker 1>the argument and everybody just throws a number out there,

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and so if it's a really not that important, it's

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 1>a two, you throw your two, and for the other

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.000
<v Speaker 1>person they might throw it eight or nine, and you

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 1>just stop and they get to go on and and

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you go of their direction, right, and it's just an

0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.439
<v Speaker 1>easy way to quit arguing and move on. And you

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 1>said a lot of times it's worked for you because

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:11.159
<v Speaker 1>we've been it's been improving our marriage. Man um, I

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 1>may be honest, I make you explain this every week.

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.560
<v Speaker 1>This is the last time you're gonna explain it. But

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.239
<v Speaker 1>there's two thoughts that came in because people have been

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 1>writing a lot about marriage. Honest is, I don't know

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 1>what you stole from someone, but it's gonna call your thing,

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:27.720
<v Speaker 1>your marriage savor thing. And one guy is in a

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:29.719
<v Speaker 1>he writes him where he's in a fight with his

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 1>wife because she likes to put vinegar in the soap

0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:38.200
<v Speaker 1>in the dishwasher, and he's arguing that if if dish

0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.200
<v Speaker 1>soap needed vinegar, they would just put it in there

0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 1>in the factory. So what's weird about it is he's like,

0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:49.080
<v Speaker 1>but the trick worked because like, I actually didn't really

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:50.879
<v Speaker 1>care once I thought about it, and I threw a

0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:54.719
<v Speaker 1>three and she threw like a nine, so she wins.

0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 1>But then he sits down and writes me a diet

0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:01.639
<v Speaker 1>tribe like this, it's blaming how stupid it is to

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:06.920
<v Speaker 1>put vinegar and soap. Another guy rolled in about he

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.399
<v Speaker 1>he didn't even get into what his fight was, but

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:11.840
<v Speaker 1>he gets in a big fight and he's like he

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.480
<v Speaker 1>wants to do Nice's trick to get out of the fight,

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and he throws a two and then gets in trouble

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>for how little he cares. So it's like, yes, that

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:33.359
<v Speaker 1>would absolutely be The biggest concern is underestimating somebody else's anger.

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 1>So if I think if it's a two and you

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>think it's a nine, I might just be digging my

0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:42.400
<v Speaker 1>hole even deeper. Were fighting about it at that point,

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:49.760
<v Speaker 1>So you don't care ashes, Um, what else you wanna

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 1>talk about? Oh, irrational behaviors? Where this vinegar in the dishwasher? Account?

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Is that? No? Because I don't really know about that.

0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:01.679
<v Speaker 1>That might be like a great idea. I don't know.

0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Here's a hot tip vinegar is um. I've been frying

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:07.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot in the house lately because I got my

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 1>bitch in New hood over my stove, you know, and

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm always blasting, I'm frying, and it's it's working, but

0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 1>it's still not like completely diffusing all you know, grease,

0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:23.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's it is. But what we do afterwards,

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 1>or I should say, my wife Jennifer does, is um,

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe a cup or two of some

0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 1>vinegar with a splash of lavender oil and to send

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:33.679
<v Speaker 1>a pan and throws that on the stovetop and just

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 1>lets it simmer and kind of disappear, and that just

0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:41.199
<v Speaker 1>dials the house right back in. Yeah, very nice problem.

0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.959
<v Speaker 1>That will improve your marriage. Yeah, because I remember when

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:46.199
<v Speaker 1>we used to live in a we used to live

0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 1>in a small apartment and being from Michigan, I fry

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fish and my wife be like, how

0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:55.280
<v Speaker 1>is it even the bath towels smell like fried fish.

0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 1>That's the one thing I wouldn't want to smell like

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:02.919
<v Speaker 1>fried fish. Yeah, you get out of the show. Everything

0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:06.200
<v Speaker 1>else is fair game. But but the irrational behavior there,

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:07.639
<v Speaker 1>and I don't mean to be penning. This is not

0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:10.040
<v Speaker 1>like a guy for this isn't like, you know, like

0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:12.920
<v Speaker 1>a guy versus wife deal. But this is a guy

0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:17.439
<v Speaker 1>wrote in where he was complaining about just coping with

0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:21.919
<v Speaker 1>irrational things. Where he kills a deer, guts it, and

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 1>then rinses the chess cavity out with I don't know

0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:28.640
<v Speaker 1>if it was creek water or creek water. I didn't

0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:31.120
<v Speaker 1>see the actual body of water, but rinses it out

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 1>with creek water, and now she refuses to eat the

0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 1>deer for fear that it has been contaminated by creek water.

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 1>And he wanted advice. I have no advice, but in

0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 1>that like, in that situation, you can only point out

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:55.879
<v Speaker 1>other activities, like like other things that seem irrational that

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 1>you need to cope with. And I think that the

0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:00.399
<v Speaker 1>reason this happens so much in the outdoor for suits,

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 1>is because you're just dealing with so many unknowns and

0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 1>untested things. Right, it's just and practices to get handed

0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:12.520
<v Speaker 1>down over time, and things that aren't really you can't

0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 1>replicate it in the laboratory, like certain orders you might

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:18.800
<v Speaker 1>encounter that you could never make. So I think that

0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:23.200
<v Speaker 1>it breeds like breeds uncertainty. So do you guys feel

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:26.600
<v Speaker 1>like have you encountered in your personal lives where you've

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you've had to just live with someone else's irrational belief system.

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead. My husband doesn't hunt and I am obsessed

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:42.240
<v Speaker 1>with it, and so we are constantly we don't see

0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 1>eye to eye on anything with hunting, but in particular

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:49.199
<v Speaker 1>the range finder situation. So he thinks that a range

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:53.720
<v Speaker 1>finder is um unethical because it's more ethical than not

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:58.200
<v Speaker 1>know how far away it is. So it's a constant

0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:01.159
<v Speaker 1>battle arrow and guest. He needs to just come with

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 1>me so he can see what it's all about. But yeah,

0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:04.960
<v Speaker 1>so I feel like I'm just constantly bashing my head

0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:09.080
<v Speaker 1>against the wall with some of these theories and opinions. Yeah,

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:12.480
<v Speaker 1>that's I should say, it's uninformed. But you know we

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 1>are going to later give away We're gonna play a game.

0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:17.040
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna give away a range finding binoculars. So that

0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:19.480
<v Speaker 1>was a good That was a good too nice, that

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:22.439
<v Speaker 1>was a good. Well, I I segued off there. If

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:27.639
<v Speaker 1>you'll notice, Sam had like irrational. I didn't come and

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 1>put with anything for this because you're not highly rational person. No,

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:42.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean you've never you're still you're still available, not

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 1>not married, not married? Correct, you never had a relationship

0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that an argument came out? Okay, So what I okay? So,

0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 1>so It's not that I didn't come up with anything

0:24:50.800 --> 0:24:53.120
<v Speaker 1>for this. I didn't. I didn't come up with anything

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that I could say publicly to our audience of hundreds

0:24:57.760 --> 0:25:00.920
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of of listeners. There's nothing is like it's

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a weird it's a weird gray or what we're talking

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:05.159
<v Speaker 1>about here is a weird gray area of like cute

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:09.680
<v Speaker 1>irrational where there's like crazy irrational that you just don't

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.119
<v Speaker 1>really want to like air to the to the public

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 1>what it is. I don't have to tell who it is, uh,

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 1>can I can? All? Right? Okay? Are you talking about

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:28.639
<v Speaker 1>like an ex girlfriend? Yeah? Okay, and of what like

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:32.720
<v Speaker 1>category of what category, like what life category did the

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:37.160
<v Speaker 1>irrational thing fall into? I don't even know which ex

0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend we're talking about here, but let's start off. I

0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 1>feel like, let's die, let's divide the world into like

0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 1>rooms of the house that way. Yeah, well, yeah, what

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>would be a area of one's existence that the irrational

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:56.879
<v Speaker 1>behavior a manifest? I had an ex girlfriend who would clean,

0:25:57.040 --> 0:26:01.080
<v Speaker 1>like deep clean her apartment every week, and she would

0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:03.400
<v Speaker 1>like she would go as far as pulling everything out

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:05.960
<v Speaker 1>of her freezer just to like scrape out the freezer

0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:08.160
<v Speaker 1>of ice. Every week I would have hung under her.

0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:15.399
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like there there's complicating circumstances. That was That

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:19.320
<v Speaker 1>was not the reason it ended. Get her phone number.

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:25.000
<v Speaker 1>He's like, yes, let's organized maybe, but but I'm like,

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:27.639
<v Speaker 1>you put stuff in the freezer to like you know,

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:30.480
<v Speaker 1>has to preserve it to hanging onto it for a while,

0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:32.280
<v Speaker 1>and like I'd stacked it full of elk. I'm like,

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:33.920
<v Speaker 1>why are you put alling all of that out there?

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:36.720
<v Speaker 1>It's defrosting in your fridge, in your in your sink

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.600
<v Speaker 1>right now. Okay, so that's good. I found that to

0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:45.119
<v Speaker 1>be highly irrational. It is, Jimmy, Uh, I don't have

0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:48.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot to add to this. I'm I'm fortunate. I'm

0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:50.480
<v Speaker 1>fortunately hello, oh come on here. You talked me into it.

0:26:50.560 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 1>You know I didn't want to. I told him I

0:26:53.800 --> 0:26:55.919
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to talk about this. I am fortunate enough.

0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:59.879
<v Speaker 1>My significant other, who was sitting right over there, is

0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 1>very rational, grounded. I find very very seldom do I

0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:11.560
<v Speaker 1>find it. Jim get called, Uh, you know things that'll

0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:14.639
<v Speaker 1>get me in a twist. I mean, she moves things around.

0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't figure out why we're always looking for things

0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:19.639
<v Speaker 1>that I know right where it's at. But in the

0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:21.879
<v Speaker 1>grand scheme of things that is a one on the

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:24.560
<v Speaker 1>argument scale as opposed to attend. So you know, I'm

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 1>very fortunate at no, no, ideo it's not boring. It's

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:33.159
<v Speaker 1>not boring. It's rational. As you know, it's battles. You

0:27:33.240 --> 0:27:37.160
<v Speaker 1>just chose. Well I did choose, she chose. Yeah, I'm

0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:41.919
<v Speaker 1>extremely fortunate. Let me just it's nothing. No, come on,

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna come up with irrational behavior by my wife.

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 1>That's what you're asking me. There's like little things that

0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 1>she does, um that I might like that might bug me,

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:56.879
<v Speaker 1>but I wouldn't call like irrational behavior. Well, I would

0:27:56.960 --> 0:28:00.199
<v Speaker 1>like she did something like that where I don't thing

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 1>like rents a deer out with creep water and then

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:07.000
<v Speaker 1>she was like, I'm not eating that because that water

0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 1>is so much different than stuff that comes out of

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the faucet. You know, it's rolling down rocks or something,

0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:16.679
<v Speaker 1>and and it's dirty. Yeah. I'd stop it at that

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 1>point and say we gotta have a conversation to see

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 1>this thing, and keep going on in my mind when

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about and my mom talking about it, be

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:27.080
<v Speaker 1>that one day my wife caught me letting my kids

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:30.159
<v Speaker 1>cut up pumpkins with a machete, and she feels it,

0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 1>and she feels that when someone's holding a machete or

0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 1>an axe or something that it's gonna, like inexplicably like

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 1>fly out of their hand, which I thought was right.

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 1>But then one day Callahan who heats holding a cleaver,

0:28:48.040 --> 0:28:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and she keeps being afraid that it's gonna fly out

0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:53.280
<v Speaker 1>of Callahan's hand, and so I feel like it's like

0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:55.960
<v Speaker 1>when she sees a large blade, she feels that it

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.920
<v Speaker 1>will fly out of the user's hand. And it just

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:06.600
<v Speaker 1>strikes me as on par with this. That's all, um.

0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure if he's here or not. There's a

0:29:08.600 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 1>guy he's fishing up Narrows Park not far from here,

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 1>on the gig Harbor side Narrows Bridge, and he writes

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:19.800
<v Speaker 1>in about how he's everyone around catching all kinds of fish.

0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:22.360
<v Speaker 1>He's not catching one. This guy here has to do

0:29:22.440 --> 0:29:27.400
<v Speaker 1>with a diving duck in the eagle. Okay, So he

0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 1>finally hooks a fish and he gets all excited for

0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 1>a couple of seconds until up pops a diver duck

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 1>that he has hooked, and as he's reeling it in

0:29:37.640 --> 0:29:41.280
<v Speaker 1>across the surface an eagle. I believe because the level

0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:44.560
<v Speaker 1>of detail, and eagle comes down and grabs his diver

0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:47.200
<v Speaker 1>duck off the surface. We used to have the eagles

0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:51.480
<v Speaker 1>steal our ducks when we're out duck hunting. His it

0:29:51.560 --> 0:29:59.080
<v Speaker 1>starts flying, singing drag out. He tightens his drag yanks

0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:01.680
<v Speaker 1>it and gets his duck back. It like gets it

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:04.680
<v Speaker 1>free from the eagle is able to bring it in

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:09.400
<v Speaker 1>and he's got a superficially hooked unhooks it and lets

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the duck go on. The duck's fine. That's a fishing story.

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:17.720
<v Speaker 1>That's a fishing story. Another guy, that's one of those

0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:20.959
<v Speaker 1>where the duck gets back to the cattails. He's like,

0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:27.920
<v Speaker 1>you guys are not gonna be doing He's just like,

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:30.960
<v Speaker 1>don't even don't even ask what I've been up to.

0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:36.680
<v Speaker 1>That's funny because like a duck go through his whole

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 1>life and nothing really that exciting happens. Remember one time

0:30:41.760 --> 0:30:43.960
<v Speaker 1>we're yeah, one time we're up in the mountains and

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 1>we had hung up all of our you know, hung

0:30:45.600 --> 0:30:48.560
<v Speaker 1>all of our food up in a tree. Bears wouldn't

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:50.960
<v Speaker 1>get into it. And then it's like somehow there's like

0:30:50.960 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a block of cheese. It didn't get hung up in

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the tree, and so my brother got up and something

0:30:55.520 --> 0:30:58.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of like tucked the block of cheese up in

0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 1>a like on top of the game bag, up in

0:31:00.200 --> 0:31:03.120
<v Speaker 1>a tree. And we come back later and there's a

0:31:03.160 --> 0:31:07.120
<v Speaker 1>pine squirrel who's discovered the block of cheese, which that's

0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:09.480
<v Speaker 1>some visional only ever eaten one thing is entire life.

0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:12.880
<v Speaker 1>And then all of a sudden he finds a block

0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:16.360
<v Speaker 1>of cheese, which has to seem like really unusual. And

0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:21.000
<v Speaker 1>on top of that, two large bipedal creatures come after

0:31:21.040 --> 0:31:23.280
<v Speaker 1>and chase it through the woods. It's like one of

0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the rains of pores. Man, you know, because I'm out

0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:30.040
<v Speaker 1>here every day, nothing ever had before. Have you ever

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:32.880
<v Speaker 1>this is super inappropriate, and I apologize to children in

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the audience, but have you ever seen a duck's penis?

0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:39.080
<v Speaker 1>We're just talking about this yesterday. They have excitement every day.

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:41.080
<v Speaker 1>That is. If you don't know what I'm talking about,

0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>you need to google this. Only three percent of bird

0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:47.800
<v Speaker 1>species have one penis, yeah, because they have coecause, but

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:51.120
<v Speaker 1>the duck has Some ducks have one longer than they are.

0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:55.400
<v Speaker 1>The spikes on No, that's the vagina. Well, yeah, there's

0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 1>like a spiraled and spiked Yeah, so why why do

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 1>they have the spikes? Just I mean, I don't want

0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:11.480
<v Speaker 1>their partner to get away. I guess reason. Alright, No, No,

0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a startling it's a startling thing, and

0:32:13.760 --> 0:32:15.479
<v Speaker 1>it's so funny. As we talked, we discussed this at

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:22.160
<v Speaker 1>length last night. Um, it's serious business and and keeping

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:25.600
<v Speaker 1>with a Pacific Northwest theme? Are you talking to me? Uh?

0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Pacific Northwest theme? A guy, I like the way this

0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:34.000
<v Speaker 1>thing starts. He writes in that his brother pregnancy checks.

0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:37.680
<v Speaker 1>So prag checks cows, arm up and you feel around

0:32:37.920 --> 0:32:41.760
<v Speaker 1>until it's pregnant or not. And he gets paid in salmon.

0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:51.120
<v Speaker 1>But but the salmon he gets have never been gutted,

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:55.720
<v Speaker 1>if they're frozen gut in salmon. And he wants to

0:32:55.720 --> 0:32:57.800
<v Speaker 1>know if this is a normal thing or not. I

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 1>think that is not normal. Well, the commercial fisherman or

0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:06.800
<v Speaker 1>a recreational fisherman give them to him commercial. Yeah, and

0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:10.040
<v Speaker 1>then I'd say that's normal, not normal. When I was

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:12.640
<v Speaker 1>when I was commercial fishing, we never gutted a salmon,

0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:19.920
<v Speaker 1>just frolle hole in game. Way. No, I mean I

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:22.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know anybody pray checks cows. But yeah, I mean we,

0:33:23.200 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean every every summer we catch in the scene

0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>just gets spilled into the fish hole and freeze to

0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:31.760
<v Speaker 1>death in thirty four degree refrigerating seawater. So the processor

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:34.840
<v Speaker 1>guts it. Yeah, so he just skips the processor. Yeah,

0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you're doing if you're singing correctly, you

0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:42.800
<v Speaker 1>never touch the fish and they freeze guts in. Yeah,

0:33:42.880 --> 0:33:44.600
<v Speaker 1>no one bleeds them. Well, that's so. I mean, so

0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:47.280
<v Speaker 1>like obviously there's a lot of types of of of

0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:51.520
<v Speaker 1>commercial fishing, and like we are primarily targeting pinks um,

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 1>so it's it's like en mass. And then we pull

0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:58.240
<v Speaker 1>up alongside a tender usually like bearing sea crab boats.

0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:02.160
<v Speaker 1>They take a big crane with a vacuum pump and

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:05.680
<v Speaker 1>swing it over, drop it in our hold and put

0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:08.440
<v Speaker 1>in a return tube and just over the course of

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:11.040
<v Speaker 1>an hour just suck all those fish out of there.

0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:13.600
<v Speaker 1>You have to keep the water level just right. And

0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:15.279
<v Speaker 1>at the end I'd have to go down there and

0:34:15.360 --> 0:34:18.000
<v Speaker 1>hit boots and to shovel and get up in the

0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:21.279
<v Speaker 1>corners of the fish hold and and move all the fish.

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Often try to like scrape them when they get frozen

0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:26.520
<v Speaker 1>up against like the refrigeration unit. It was really gross,

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:29.200
<v Speaker 1>was my least favorite part of the job. But what

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:31.399
<v Speaker 1>are you allowed to take fish home? Do you think

0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 1>he's being lazy or do you think he's sneaking them

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:34.920
<v Speaker 1>out without being allowed to take well, I mean I

0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:37.600
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't I wouldn't know, but I imagine, like in Washington,

0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:41.520
<v Speaker 1>it's it's either sainting or gill netting, in which case

0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:45.879
<v Speaker 1>you always deliver those fishhole to processors. And and I mean,

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 1>and you're usually freezing them as soon as you as

0:34:48.320 --> 0:34:50.640
<v Speaker 1>you catch them because you're just catching so many. I mean, like,

0:34:51.200 --> 0:34:52.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, the biggest day I ever had, we caught

0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:57.160
<v Speaker 1>seventy three pounds seventy three thousand pounds of salmon, pink

0:34:57.600 --> 0:35:00.560
<v Speaker 1>pink salmon in about two hours and the morning then

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:03.480
<v Speaker 1>we were on limits. So it was pretty it was

0:35:03.480 --> 0:35:06.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool to be like, I just made three grand.

0:35:06.680 --> 0:35:09.399
<v Speaker 1>It's not even ten am yet. Yeah, that's good. Yeah.

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:12.680
<v Speaker 1>So this dude question, though, is that what's that? Do

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 1>you know what the common like end product is for

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:17.080
<v Speaker 1>those pinks that you I think it's dog food and

0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:20.800
<v Speaker 1>and and and yeah, and a lot of like supplements.

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Um Can salmon is a good a good part of it,

0:35:24.400 --> 0:35:28.120
<v Speaker 1>the high quality stuff. But I mean they also they

0:35:28.200 --> 0:35:31.560
<v Speaker 1>also filet some pink side. Man. I wish I know, knew,

0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I have a lot of a lot of friends in

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.719
<v Speaker 1>that industry. But um but yeah, I mean it's it's

0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:40.000
<v Speaker 1>not like it's not like showing up on fancy restaurants

0:35:40.000 --> 0:35:44.520
<v Speaker 1>for for pinks anyway. And and where kings typically get kings,

0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:50.520
<v Speaker 1>hippli get caught in um trolling you know situations or

0:35:50.840 --> 0:35:53.480
<v Speaker 1>or gill netting where they're you know, treated with a

0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:57.080
<v Speaker 1>different level of care. And and there's there's also there's

0:35:57.080 --> 0:36:00.319
<v Speaker 1>a big growth in in the kind of the it's

0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:03.319
<v Speaker 1>not farm to table, but it's like, you know, boat

0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:07.680
<v Speaker 1>to table. Actually just had a guy hit man. Yeah, yeah,

0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I know, I can know a couple of those guys.

0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:11.320
<v Speaker 1>And and this guy's just hit me up from Sitka

0:36:11.360 --> 0:36:14.040
<v Speaker 1>who it's all about, like, no, your fisherman and and

0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:18.200
<v Speaker 1>he like they do straight like from from the boat.

0:36:18.239 --> 0:36:21.839
<v Speaker 1>And so those guys are like catching their fish, processing

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:25.480
<v Speaker 1>their fish, flash freezing, mailing them off. It sounds like

0:36:25.520 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 1>a giant pay in the ask to me. But it's

0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:31.120
<v Speaker 1>it's cool to see that kind of thing happens. Yeah,

0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:33.720
<v Speaker 1>this guy's word choice because I just realized he describes

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:41.120
<v Speaker 1>these fishes whole as hell doesn't matter. And yeah, like

0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I know you bleed him and that makes the difference

0:36:43.080 --> 0:36:45.440
<v Speaker 1>on the quality of meat, but doesn't matter, like if

0:36:45.440 --> 0:36:46.840
<v Speaker 1>you left the guts in and freeze it and then

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:49.239
<v Speaker 1>defrost and gut it home to He's trying to figure

0:36:49.239 --> 0:36:51.359
<v Speaker 1>out because the dude game all these fish. I think,

0:36:51.400 --> 0:36:53.200
<v Speaker 1>so I wouldn't think the guts would be polluting the

0:36:53.200 --> 0:36:56.000
<v Speaker 1>meat if it's all frozen. I think it's frozen quick.

0:36:56.120 --> 0:36:58.719
<v Speaker 1>I've got to for the whole lake trout frozen my

0:36:58.800 --> 0:37:01.919
<v Speaker 1>freezer right now. He rolls down because they throw they're

0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:03.960
<v Speaker 1>they're frozen the second we pulled them out of the

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:06.640
<v Speaker 1>lake and uh. And then I got home and I

0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:09.359
<v Speaker 1>had to run out here, and I'm like, I don't

0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:11.560
<v Speaker 1>wanna I don't want to defrost these things so I

0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:13.719
<v Speaker 1>could gut them so I can freeze them again, because

0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:16.240
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be even worse on the flesh to freeze

0:37:16.239 --> 0:37:19.520
<v Speaker 1>and thaw and freeze and thaw. So I did. I

0:37:19.560 --> 0:37:21.719
<v Speaker 1>did think about this for quite a while, and I

0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:22.920
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know, and I'm just gonna stick them

0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:25.520
<v Speaker 1>in the fraser. I don't have time. I've left guts

0:37:25.560 --> 0:37:28.879
<v Speaker 1>in grouse and aged them for seven days and then

0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:32.000
<v Speaker 1>ate them. Yeah, that's a big thing in Europe, man. Yeah,

0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I tried both. I tried with the gutting and then

0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:36.000
<v Speaker 1>as long as it's not a gut shot, I've left

0:37:36.040 --> 0:37:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the guts in and I've aged both for seven days.

0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:39.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it tastes cleaner if the guts have been out,

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:42.960
<v Speaker 1>but it wasn't bad, and aged for like made all

0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the difference in the world. It was like cutting sushi.

0:37:44.880 --> 0:37:46.239
<v Speaker 1>When I was cutting them up, I would have a

0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:52.399
<v Speaker 1>harder time with that than fish, because well, for sure, yeah,

0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 1>grouse are known for having especially weird smelling guts. I

0:37:57.480 --> 0:38:00.080
<v Speaker 1>want to get into I want to get into sam

0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and numbers because that's like a real thing that like

0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:07.600
<v Speaker 1>dominates the conversation around here, and it's confusing as hell,

0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and I'll kind of like lay out, like I pictured

0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:16.080
<v Speaker 1>like someone from Mars or some outer space planet with

0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:21.400
<v Speaker 1>just a superficial understanding of the world was listening to

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the conversation. They would be confused because you have where

0:38:26.160 --> 0:38:30.959
<v Speaker 1>king salmon numbers are really low, and so people keep

0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:36.520
<v Speaker 1>proposing different things that we might do, different things we

0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:39.560
<v Speaker 1>might try to kill off or reduce in order to

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:43.759
<v Speaker 1>up salmon numbers. So it's like, oh, we're gonna kill seagulls,

0:38:44.840 --> 0:38:52.600
<v Speaker 1>sea lions, harbor seals, what else, sawfish, cormorants. But also

0:38:52.680 --> 0:38:58.120
<v Speaker 1>like name brand, name brand sea, many big list of things,

0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:03.279
<v Speaker 1>name brand sea mammals that you reduced numbers to get

0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:07.520
<v Speaker 1>salmon numbers up. But then there's another name brand sea mammal,

0:39:08.719 --> 0:39:10.880
<v Speaker 1>killer whale or orca, which is the whole other conversation

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:13.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tonight, I'm going with killer whale le So

0:39:15.920 --> 0:39:20.640
<v Speaker 1>killer whales are suffering from the lack of fish and

0:39:20.680 --> 0:39:23.640
<v Speaker 1>no one's proposing and they eat nothing but kings, and

0:39:23.800 --> 0:39:30.720
<v Speaker 1>to my knowledge, no one has proposed shooting them things

0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:36.000
<v Speaker 1>not since everything else is on the list. Meanwhile, and

0:39:36.000 --> 0:39:39.080
<v Speaker 1>people be like, okay, another problem with kings. And I'm

0:39:39.120 --> 0:39:41.160
<v Speaker 1>not a subject matter expert here, this is my homs race.

0:39:41.280 --> 0:39:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Like another problem that kings have is they're getting too

0:39:44.400 --> 0:39:47.719
<v Speaker 1>much competition from hatchery fish in the river, so that's

0:39:47.760 --> 0:39:52.279
<v Speaker 1>that's a concerns and in the oceans. But because the

0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:55.600
<v Speaker 1>one marine mammal is not getting enough fish, they're now

0:39:55.640 --> 0:39:58.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about putting more hatchery fish in to make sure

0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:04.799
<v Speaker 1>that that greene mammal the orca gets enough and then

0:40:04.880 --> 0:40:08.040
<v Speaker 1>we'll get rid of the other ones. Like like, is

0:40:08.080 --> 0:40:10.440
<v Speaker 1>it is it as confusing as it seems it is,

0:40:10.480 --> 0:40:13.360
<v Speaker 1>And it's like right as w DFW is kind of

0:40:13.400 --> 0:40:17.000
<v Speaker 1>finally coming around the idea that that their intensive, crazy

0:40:17.040 --> 0:40:21.640
<v Speaker 1>hatchery program has not necessarily been the greatest boon to

0:40:21.760 --> 0:40:26.399
<v Speaker 1>wild salmon and steelhead, especially steelhead. Now the governor's coming

0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:29.120
<v Speaker 1>in and telling them to start pumping out more hatchery

0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:32.560
<v Speaker 1>shin up for the whales, for the whales, So it's

0:40:32.600 --> 0:40:35.520
<v Speaker 1>it's it's just it's as complicated as all hell. I'm

0:40:35.600 --> 0:40:37.480
<v Speaker 1>not even from Mars, and I don't even understand. It's

0:40:37.520 --> 0:40:40.600
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be a band aid, not a long term solution. Yeah,

0:40:40.680 --> 0:40:43.279
<v Speaker 1>well that's like it seems, I mean, this is this

0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:45.160
<v Speaker 1>is kind of one of the areas where the conversation

0:40:45.200 --> 0:40:49.000
<v Speaker 1>about SAM gets interesting in Sam and Steelhead is because

0:40:49.480 --> 0:40:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you have like, like it's no secret what the main

0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:54.680
<v Speaker 1>problem is, the main problem being like like a system

0:40:54.680 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 1>of dams that blocks fish migration, Like it used to

0:40:57.080 --> 0:40:59.200
<v Speaker 1>take I think, you know, a fishies to be able

0:40:59.200 --> 0:41:01.760
<v Speaker 1>to go from its natal stream out to the ocean

0:41:01.800 --> 0:41:03.839
<v Speaker 1>in three days, and now it takes twenty some days

0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:06.480
<v Speaker 1>in certain river systems, and so it's exposed to so

0:41:06.560 --> 0:41:09.040
<v Speaker 1>much more predation. But they're doing badly in rivers that

0:41:09.120 --> 0:41:12.200
<v Speaker 1>don't have damns too. That's a good point. Yeah, So

0:41:12.239 --> 0:41:16.560
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's bad timber practices, it's over harvest, it's

0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:19.640
<v Speaker 1>changing ocean condition. There's a there's a lot of damns

0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:22.879
<v Speaker 1>being definitely a primary drop. But I find that like, like,

0:41:22.880 --> 0:41:26.480
<v Speaker 1>like some people like Callahan's this way has argued this

0:41:26.480 --> 0:41:29.080
<v Speaker 1>where some people are like if you have this system,

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:31.840
<v Speaker 1>like this large systemic problem, being like you have this

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:34.880
<v Speaker 1>large problem with dams, and they don't want to entertain

0:41:36.320 --> 0:41:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the micro fixes. They're like, I don't want to do

0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to condone micro fixes because I want

0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:44.040
<v Speaker 1>to just focus on what the main problem is. To

0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:46.960
<v Speaker 1>be like, if you lost your job and had no

0:41:47.080 --> 0:41:50.400
<v Speaker 1>money and then you found a dollar on the street,

0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:54.120
<v Speaker 1>you'd pick it up, but but Colt would be like,

0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:56.919
<v Speaker 1>don't pick it up because you don't have a job.

0:41:57.600 --> 0:42:01.279
<v Speaker 1>So it's like I feel like I feel the frustration

0:42:01.360 --> 0:42:03.640
<v Speaker 1>of people who are wanting to like we we can't

0:42:03.640 --> 0:42:06.360
<v Speaker 1>control that, Like that's like a huge long term problem,

0:42:06.400 --> 0:42:09.960
<v Speaker 1>but there are small adjustments we can make and it's like,

0:42:10.320 --> 0:42:13.800
<v Speaker 1>it makes people extremely upset that you that you entertain

0:42:13.920 --> 0:42:18.279
<v Speaker 1>the idea of reducing harbor seal populations, reducing sea lion

0:42:18.360 --> 0:42:21.480
<v Speaker 1>populations in order to try to keep this thing hobbling

0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:24.919
<v Speaker 1>along while we get up the political and public will

0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to like actually get around to addressing the main problem. Yeah. Absolutely,

0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:30.839
<v Speaker 1>And if you look at it historically, all these things

0:42:30.880 --> 0:42:35.239
<v Speaker 1>are really closely tied together. In the territorial legislature of Washington,

0:42:35.719 --> 0:42:39.200
<v Speaker 1>it was illegal to block an Adremus fish passage that

0:42:39.320 --> 0:42:42.239
<v Speaker 1>was passed in the late eighteen hundreds UM when they

0:42:42.320 --> 0:42:45.160
<v Speaker 1>built the dams on the l law that were recently removed.

0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:49.280
<v Speaker 1>They built the lowest dam, which is some three miles

0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:53.240
<v Speaker 1>from the from tidewater, with no with no fish ladder,

0:42:53.640 --> 0:42:56.160
<v Speaker 1>no nothing, just cut it off one of the greatest

0:42:56.200 --> 0:43:00.560
<v Speaker 1>chinook runs ever known. But they made a deal that

0:43:00.640 --> 0:43:02.600
<v Speaker 1>was later codified in law that they're like, oh, we'll

0:43:02.640 --> 0:43:05.799
<v Speaker 1>just make a hatchery and solve the problem. We'll just

0:43:05.840 --> 0:43:08.759
<v Speaker 1>pump out enough fish to make up for the ones

0:43:08.840 --> 0:43:14.040
<v Speaker 1>we lost. And then that that was taken forth into

0:43:14.440 --> 0:43:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the Pacific Northwest that wherever we hose

0:43:18.360 --> 0:43:22.759
<v Speaker 1>a salmon run we just we we do Mitigation is

0:43:22.760 --> 0:43:25.280
<v Speaker 1>is I mean, it's still a word that's just thrown

0:43:25.320 --> 0:43:28.759
<v Speaker 1>around left and right. But that's where it all derives from.

0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Wherever we wherever we ruin a salmon run, We're just

0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:34.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna put in a hatchery and solve the problem. It's

0:43:34.360 --> 0:43:36.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna be all better. What were you guys saying, like, what,

0:43:36.600 --> 0:43:40.239
<v Speaker 1>what's the typical percentage of with steel head? What's the

0:43:40.280 --> 0:43:42.960
<v Speaker 1>percentage of steel head that are wild born and hatchery born? Man?

0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:44.719
<v Speaker 1>I was pulling number out of my ask before, but

0:43:44.719 --> 0:43:47.520
<v Speaker 1>it's probably less than a quarter anymore that are that

0:43:47.600 --> 0:43:49.719
<v Speaker 1>are like native. Like, of all the steel head that

0:43:49.800 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 1>returned to freshwater every year in Washington, I bet less

0:43:53.000 --> 0:43:55.480
<v Speaker 1>than a quarter have an out of post fun here,

0:43:55.560 --> 0:43:57.560
<v Speaker 1>not in the skin. So the Skina region has the

0:43:57.600 --> 0:44:01.160
<v Speaker 1>healthiest population of salmon in the world. The Club the

0:44:01.160 --> 0:44:04.399
<v Speaker 1>Columbia used to have the best steelhead fishery, but yeah,

0:44:04.520 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 1>we don't have any of that in the Skina. So

0:44:07.080 --> 0:44:10.279
<v Speaker 1>were you fished the steelhead or wild? Now? Do you?

0:44:10.320 --> 0:44:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Because you kind of let you like caught your teeth

0:44:12.040 --> 0:44:13.960
<v Speaker 1>as a steelhead guide and built your career off being

0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:15.719
<v Speaker 1>a steelhead guide. If you had if you had a

0:44:15.719 --> 0:44:18.839
<v Speaker 1>picture of crystal ball, how old your daughter? No? Not

0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:22.719
<v Speaker 1>not sixteen months? Sixteen months? If you if you had

0:44:22.719 --> 0:44:25.040
<v Speaker 1>to make a guess, like God's got a gun to

0:44:25.080 --> 0:44:26.759
<v Speaker 1>your head and you got to make a guess that

0:44:26.800 --> 0:44:31.359
<v Speaker 1>when she's your age, and don't don't play like what

0:44:31.400 --> 0:44:33.160
<v Speaker 1>you want to have. I think about this every day

0:44:33.360 --> 0:44:37.160
<v Speaker 1>hitting age. Will she be fishing steelhead? And you have

0:44:37.239 --> 0:44:40.879
<v Speaker 1>to get it right or else you die like that

0:44:40.960 --> 0:44:44.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of answer. So I'm thirty seven, So in thirty

0:44:44.160 --> 0:44:49.640
<v Speaker 1>six years in the skina, I think they'll be here.

0:44:50.000 --> 0:44:52.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they'll be here in the numbers that

0:44:52.560 --> 0:44:55.040
<v Speaker 1>they are now. I think that, I mean, they're the most,

0:44:56.600 --> 0:44:59.319
<v Speaker 1>the most resilient. I think that one of the most

0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:02.600
<v Speaker 1>resilient and will ever fish out there. But they'll definitely

0:45:02.600 --> 0:45:06.799
<v Speaker 1>be here unless less numbers. It's really scary. Have you

0:45:06.840 --> 0:45:09.319
<v Speaker 1>have you watched the decline in your own yes? And

0:45:09.320 --> 0:45:12.279
<v Speaker 1>the shifting baseline is really scary. And these people who

0:45:12.280 --> 0:45:14.800
<v Speaker 1>were fishing, you know, are they've been fishing for ten years,

0:45:14.800 --> 0:45:16.799
<v Speaker 1>say and they're like, oh, well, you know, in my

0:45:16.840 --> 0:45:19.399
<v Speaker 1>ten years, it hasn't been a major difference. But they're

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:21.759
<v Speaker 1>just they're not They don't know what the baseline was

0:45:21.760 --> 0:45:24.319
<v Speaker 1>a hundred years ago. They and and unfortunately a lot

0:45:24.320 --> 0:45:26.120
<v Speaker 1>of people in my age group, they don't want to

0:45:26.200 --> 0:45:29.040
<v Speaker 1>learn the history, you know, or they don't want to

0:45:29.080 --> 0:45:32.719
<v Speaker 1>learn about what happened before them. So yeah, pretty terrified. Yeah.

0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:35.120
<v Speaker 1>We had a guy at one time describe the shift,

0:45:35.560 --> 0:45:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the shifting baseline thing. He called it shifting baseline syndrome.

0:45:39.920 --> 0:45:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Where but but if you don't have that, you would

0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:44.560
<v Speaker 1>lose your mind. Yeah, well, you know what we're talking about,

0:45:44.600 --> 0:45:47.920
<v Speaker 1>shifting baseline, like the your perception of the like what

0:45:48.000 --> 0:45:51.080
<v Speaker 1>our perception of like normal constantly you have too else,

0:45:51.239 --> 0:45:54.600
<v Speaker 1>but you wouldn't be able to continue being alive, you know. Yeah,

0:45:54.719 --> 0:45:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it's going to be like in

0:45:56.080 --> 0:45:58.320
<v Speaker 1>in thirties six years honestly, Steve, I spoke to a

0:45:58.360 --> 0:46:00.879
<v Speaker 1>lot of the government biologists and they they've come over.

0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't live in Surrey anymore. You guys will live

0:46:02.880 --> 0:46:05.239
<v Speaker 1>on the Bulkley up in the skin of country and

0:46:05.400 --> 0:46:07.439
<v Speaker 1>the biologists will come to my place. And we've had,

0:46:07.680 --> 0:46:09.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, off the record chats about the fact that

0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:11.759
<v Speaker 1>these fish are not going to be here unless we

0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:14.600
<v Speaker 1>seriously put our foot down. But we have to make

0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:16.680
<v Speaker 1>some major changes, and I don't think that the sports

0:46:16.760 --> 0:46:19.240
<v Speaker 1>community or the Angland community is ready to make the changes.

0:46:20.040 --> 0:46:23.399
<v Speaker 1>What are the changes they don't want to make? Uh,

0:46:23.480 --> 0:46:28.279
<v Speaker 1>fishing for them? I mean they like the fish for him. Yeah,

0:46:28.520 --> 0:46:33.080
<v Speaker 1>have you quit? No? I mean yes and no, Like

0:46:33.160 --> 0:46:34.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't look. I don't want to look like I'm

0:46:34.880 --> 0:46:36.719
<v Speaker 1>sitting on a throne and be like, oh, yeah, I've

0:46:36.719 --> 0:46:39.400
<v Speaker 1>stopped fishing for them. Because I think everyone makes this

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:43.560
<v Speaker 1>decision in their own time. I personally have cut back immensely.

0:46:43.600 --> 0:46:46.640
<v Speaker 1>I probably catch to steelhead a week maybe, and if

0:46:46.640 --> 0:46:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I catch us steelhead a day, I go home. But

0:46:48.920 --> 0:46:50.719
<v Speaker 1>I also understand I live on the river. I'm out

0:46:50.719 --> 0:46:53.480
<v Speaker 1>there every single day. I don't I don't expect people

0:46:53.640 --> 0:46:56.560
<v Speaker 1>to make the same decisions I do. So Um, I'm

0:46:56.640 --> 0:47:00.160
<v Speaker 1>really close to stopping, especially because more that I that

0:47:00.200 --> 0:47:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I hunt, and the more that I spend outdoors, you know,

0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:06.640
<v Speaker 1>killing animals, the more I start to question my own

0:47:06.920 --> 0:47:10.120
<v Speaker 1>reasoning for catch and release. And when you start to

0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:12.680
<v Speaker 1>question why you catch and release for me anyway, Again,

0:47:12.719 --> 0:47:15.359
<v Speaker 1>everyone makes this decision at their own time in their life.

0:47:15.360 --> 0:47:17.840
<v Speaker 1>But for me, it was, Um, I catch and release

0:47:17.840 --> 0:47:21.480
<v Speaker 1>because I'm selfish, And I'm okay being selfish to a degree.

0:47:21.520 --> 0:47:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm a human, I'm an animal. I don't mind

0:47:23.440 --> 0:47:25.799
<v Speaker 1>being a little selfish, But um, I have to choose

0:47:25.800 --> 0:47:27.759
<v Speaker 1>the number on the scale and ask myself, you know

0:47:27.760 --> 0:47:30.640
<v Speaker 1>how important important it is to me? And when I

0:47:30.640 --> 0:47:35.560
<v Speaker 1>start feeling like I'm battling or like I'm compromising my integrity, UM,

0:47:35.600 --> 0:47:37.719
<v Speaker 1>I start to just take a step back. And That's

0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:41.359
<v Speaker 1>where I'm at now. So, UM, I feel like I'm

0:47:41.400 --> 0:47:44.160
<v Speaker 1>really selfish out there these days. You know what I

0:47:44.200 --> 0:47:47.400
<v Speaker 1>had Their day, We're fishing and we were messing around

0:47:47.400 --> 0:47:50.680
<v Speaker 1>with some tarp and and knowing that you're not gonna

0:47:51.000 --> 0:47:53.480
<v Speaker 1>do anything to it if you catch it. When it

0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:57.600
<v Speaker 1>came off, I couldn't make myself care. Yeah, because you

0:47:57.600 --> 0:47:59.080
<v Speaker 1>weren't going to do anything with it anyway, and you

0:47:59.120 --> 0:48:01.160
<v Speaker 1>don't want a photo. Was like, oh that's cool, yeah,

0:48:01.360 --> 0:48:04.120
<v Speaker 1>see you later. But when I'm out there, like, damn

0:48:04.160 --> 0:48:05.960
<v Speaker 1>cool to hook into it. Yeah, But when you're trying

0:48:05.960 --> 0:48:10.440
<v Speaker 1>to take the accomplishment, and then when it came off,

0:48:10.520 --> 0:48:13.080
<v Speaker 1>there was no disappointment. Have you landed a turpan? Though

0:48:13.280 --> 0:48:16.319
<v Speaker 1>I've hooked three miles four in my life, I've hooked one.

0:48:16.440 --> 0:48:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I really want to hold one. The first two I hooked,

0:48:21.000 --> 0:48:22.799
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even. They came out of the water and

0:48:22.800 --> 0:48:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I just I didn't even. I wasn't even fishing at

0:48:24.800 --> 0:48:28.719
<v Speaker 1>that point. I was just shocked. Um. And this last one,

0:48:28.760 --> 0:48:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I held it together for a couple of minutes. It's

0:48:31.680 --> 0:48:38.920
<v Speaker 1>it's impressive you've caught those probably yeah, uh, huntresses, it's

0:48:38.960 --> 0:48:42.360
<v Speaker 1>just hit me, hit me. So you want like you

0:48:42.440 --> 0:48:44.399
<v Speaker 1>reached out April, because you're you're gonna write, you want

0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:47.480
<v Speaker 1>to write a piece about like our use, like what

0:48:47.840 --> 0:48:52.320
<v Speaker 1>is the hunters of grandma unts? Well there are actually

0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:55.400
<v Speaker 1>well hang on, the grandmas don't have I'm right the

0:48:55.440 --> 0:48:59.160
<v Speaker 1>midle of writing this article, so I'm still accumulating my data. Um,

0:48:59.400 --> 0:49:01.400
<v Speaker 1>but the horror the huntress has actually been around for

0:49:01.400 --> 0:49:04.160
<v Speaker 1>a long like since eighteen hundreds, because by definition, a

0:49:04.239 --> 0:49:07.720
<v Speaker 1>huntress is simply a female who hunts. But the grandma

0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:11.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have social media, and social media is bastardizing that ship,

0:49:11.040 --> 0:49:19.840
<v Speaker 1>like it's really bad. Well, I don't have enough because

0:49:19.840 --> 0:49:22.640
<v Speaker 1>like fisherman is more problematic. Well, hang on, hang on,

0:49:22.719 --> 0:49:25.600
<v Speaker 1>hang on, my art I don't have an argument because

0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:27.880
<v Speaker 1>we're I don't know, I know you don't have an argument,

0:49:27.960 --> 0:49:30.200
<v Speaker 1>but I'm dying to get to the part of just

0:49:30.239 --> 0:49:32.520
<v Speaker 1>go ahead. Well, you're putting me on the spot because

0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:34.439
<v Speaker 1>I haven't actually written the article yet, so I haven't

0:49:34.480 --> 0:49:37.080
<v Speaker 1>come up with a conclusion write it. You can't write

0:49:37.120 --> 0:49:38.520
<v Speaker 1>until you think it, and I think about it all

0:49:38.520 --> 0:49:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the time. I am I am by definition a huntress,

0:49:42.200 --> 0:49:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess, yeah, But I don't call myself a huntress

0:49:45.400 --> 0:49:48.360
<v Speaker 1>because I don't identify with the modern day use of

0:49:48.400 --> 0:49:54.160
<v Speaker 1>the word today because temptress, stress, like all these stresses

0:49:54.200 --> 0:49:58.239
<v Speaker 1>are very sexualized and mistress and look a mistress. I

0:49:58.280 --> 0:50:01.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know it, just it just sounds sexy. And I

0:50:01.160 --> 0:50:03.279
<v Speaker 1>think there was like a comic book series with like

0:50:03.800 --> 0:50:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Huntress or something like that. And again I haven't I'm

0:50:06.920 --> 0:50:08.480
<v Speaker 1>right in the middle. He just threw me under the bus,

0:50:08.560 --> 0:50:11.200
<v Speaker 1>by the way. Um, but yeah, I just I I

0:50:11.680 --> 0:50:15.200
<v Speaker 1>think that hunter is so gender neutral. And we're talking

0:50:15.200 --> 0:50:18.440
<v Speaker 1>about this earlier. We're in this fox up excuse me

0:50:18.520 --> 0:50:21.480
<v Speaker 1>age where there's all of this, Like I don't even

0:50:21.520 --> 0:50:24.480
<v Speaker 1>know how to talk politically correct anymore, because everybody is

0:50:24.520 --> 0:50:27.840
<v Speaker 1>affected by something. No I'm talking now, but like I

0:50:27.920 --> 0:50:34.600
<v Speaker 1>just mean, I mean in in in general. In general,

0:50:34.719 --> 0:50:37.000
<v Speaker 1>it's so hard to refer to different people about what

0:50:37.040 --> 0:50:39.319
<v Speaker 1>they are because you don't even know what people's gender is.

0:50:39.680 --> 0:50:44.479
<v Speaker 1>So my point is is in today's age, in today's age,

0:50:44.520 --> 0:50:50.080
<v Speaker 1>we do we have this word that is so beautifully simple, right,

0:50:50.120 --> 0:50:53.360
<v Speaker 1>like you hunt and you are a hunter. It's not

0:50:53.400 --> 0:50:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a hunterman or a hunter hunter woman. You are a hunter.

0:50:56.520 --> 0:50:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Like we have the most perfect package of a word,

0:50:59.680 --> 0:51:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's still not good enough. Like I just give up. Yeah,

0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:05.160
<v Speaker 1>like when even when when one's working, it's no good.

0:51:05.360 --> 0:51:07.279
<v Speaker 1>The reason I threw you under the you know, the

0:51:07.320 --> 0:51:09.239
<v Speaker 1>reason I brought u up is someone actually rolled in.

0:51:09.520 --> 0:51:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you saw this, but someone rolled in,

0:51:11.440 --> 0:51:14.120
<v Speaker 1>like here's a question for April that they wanted to

0:51:14.120 --> 0:51:17.399
<v Speaker 1>be answered tonight. But it's not this one, but one

0:51:17.400 --> 0:51:19.800
<v Speaker 1>that made me think of this one because this person

0:51:19.880 --> 0:51:21.600
<v Speaker 1>was recently at what do they put it, They're at

0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:24.960
<v Speaker 1>an orientation event at a college in eastern Washington, and

0:51:24.960 --> 0:51:29.680
<v Speaker 1>it was like the person addressing the crowd, what what

0:51:29.920 --> 0:51:33.719
<v Speaker 1>was trying to it seemed to be I'm paraphrasing. It

0:51:33.760 --> 0:51:36.280
<v Speaker 1>seemed to be that their tendency was to say you guys,

0:51:36.400 --> 0:51:40.920
<v Speaker 1>you guys. But they had switched to you all, and

0:51:41.040 --> 0:51:44.160
<v Speaker 1>so the person was one of like, like, does do

0:51:44.280 --> 0:51:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you the person is asking you, like, do you take

0:51:47.120 --> 0:51:52.760
<v Speaker 1>offense by something me saying you guys to you because

0:51:53.000 --> 0:51:58.120
<v Speaker 1>you all is y'all is not politically correct. I mean

0:51:58.120 --> 0:52:00.359
<v Speaker 1>not only they came up with y'all as like a

0:52:00.360 --> 0:52:03.279
<v Speaker 1>gender neutral turn. No, they didn't. Uman. I know it's

0:52:03.280 --> 0:52:06.240
<v Speaker 1>not offensive, but I don't know. I honestly can't relate

0:52:06.400 --> 0:52:08.319
<v Speaker 1>to a lot of the people who are offended by

0:52:08.320 --> 0:52:10.239
<v Speaker 1>that stuff today. I just don't. I don't understand the

0:52:10.239 --> 0:52:12.640
<v Speaker 1>thought process. Have you guys read the subtle art of

0:52:12.719 --> 0:52:18.120
<v Speaker 1>not giving a fuck? No? Read it? It's awesome? Yeah?

0:52:18.320 --> 0:52:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you? Um does fisherman? Does fishermen bother you? I know?

0:52:23.800 --> 0:52:25.600
<v Speaker 1>But I get it. I do get it. Like I

0:52:25.680 --> 0:52:27.600
<v Speaker 1>understand if someone wants to call me an angler and

0:52:27.640 --> 0:52:30.640
<v Speaker 1>that makes everyone more comfortable, that's cool. But again, angler,

0:52:30.640 --> 0:52:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to be like an Anglish English anxtress.

0:52:34.320 --> 0:52:36.080
<v Speaker 1>What is it like a fish stress? If you call

0:52:36.160 --> 0:52:39.759
<v Speaker 1>me a fishtress? Siss. One of the things that I

0:52:39.760 --> 0:52:41.880
<v Speaker 1>asked all these women. I reached out to twenty different

0:52:41.920 --> 0:52:46.239
<v Speaker 1>women from from spear fishing, hunting, and fishing all age groups.

0:52:46.280 --> 0:52:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I interviewed the woman who fishing bikinis and you know,

0:52:49.719 --> 0:52:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the woman who would never who don't even own a bikini,

0:52:52.320 --> 0:52:59.640
<v Speaker 1>and I asked them, you know, what is it? I

0:52:59.680 --> 0:53:02.279
<v Speaker 1>asked on what the fish version is? And there is

0:53:02.320 --> 0:53:05.880
<v Speaker 1>no fish version of a huntress. I mean some angler

0:53:06.000 --> 0:53:09.279
<v Speaker 1>angling women will call themselves a huntress. But um. And

0:53:09.320 --> 0:53:12.880
<v Speaker 1>then actually, I interviewed as a sixty year old female

0:53:12.880 --> 0:53:15.759
<v Speaker 1>angler and she says she doesn't like being identified as

0:53:15.760 --> 0:53:19.440
<v Speaker 1>a fisherman or a an angler because she said it

0:53:19.440 --> 0:53:21.600
<v Speaker 1>made her feel like she didn't have a vagina, so

0:53:21.680 --> 0:53:24.680
<v Speaker 1>she likes to be called I know, but I can't.

0:53:24.719 --> 0:53:28.279
<v Speaker 1>I can't really want to be a fisher woman. And

0:53:28.320 --> 0:53:30.200
<v Speaker 1>as a sixth year old woman who is my senior,

0:53:30.280 --> 0:53:34.640
<v Speaker 1>like I'm, I'm I respect her opinion. Um, but no

0:53:34.760 --> 0:53:37.360
<v Speaker 1>fisherman doesn't offend me or or any of my girlfriends

0:53:37.360 --> 0:53:39.960
<v Speaker 1>who are are really into it. That's why I like

0:53:40.160 --> 0:53:42.920
<v Speaker 1>if i'm when I'm depending on the audience, like I'll

0:53:42.960 --> 0:53:47.600
<v Speaker 1>be writing and I'll catch myself to be inclusive. I'll

0:53:47.600 --> 0:53:52.640
<v Speaker 1>catch myself using hunters and anglers, which is still really clear,

0:53:52.800 --> 0:53:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Like we're not pioneering new words. We're using words that

0:53:55.320 --> 0:53:58.920
<v Speaker 1>have an accepted meaning, and it's not clunky. It's not

0:53:58.960 --> 0:54:01.560
<v Speaker 1>like clunky to say hunters and anglers. And I was

0:54:01.600 --> 0:54:04.239
<v Speaker 1>doing a story not long ago for Outside magazine and

0:54:04.280 --> 0:54:07.040
<v Speaker 1>they were saying, is there what's a way to say

0:54:07.200 --> 0:54:14.880
<v Speaker 1>sportsmen and people have it's it's clunky, it's sportsmen and women,

0:54:15.280 --> 0:54:17.400
<v Speaker 1>which I get the sentiment, but it just like if

0:54:17.520 --> 0:54:21.720
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't reflect a natural way of talking. Sportsmen sounds

0:54:21.760 --> 0:54:25.520
<v Speaker 1>like sportsmen to me. I don't know, but it's hard

0:54:25.560 --> 0:54:29.560
<v Speaker 1>because like human human, human whatever, we're not going to

0:54:29.680 --> 0:54:33.960
<v Speaker 1>introduce it as like huge humankind mankind. I don't know

0:54:34.000 --> 0:54:37.360
<v Speaker 1>how they I don't know how they fix that sports

0:54:37.440 --> 0:54:40.279
<v Speaker 1>people sports No, it's I think that the accepted one

0:54:40.320 --> 0:54:43.359
<v Speaker 1>now is sportsmen and women. But a problem and like

0:54:43.719 --> 0:54:46.799
<v Speaker 1>everyone's favorite topic is the bitch about PC stuff, which

0:54:46.880 --> 0:54:49.880
<v Speaker 1>like I understand, but like a problem with it. I

0:54:49.920 --> 0:54:53.000
<v Speaker 1>think a problem that's coming into culturally with word choice

0:54:53.600 --> 0:54:57.360
<v Speaker 1>is people are now measuring people. People are not measuring

0:54:57.840 --> 0:55:03.640
<v Speaker 1>one someone's moralities, some world someone's worldview only on the

0:55:03.680 --> 0:55:06.080
<v Speaker 1>only on the words that like on the his the

0:55:06.120 --> 0:55:08.520
<v Speaker 1>words of the use of historic words that come out

0:55:08.520 --> 0:55:10.759
<v Speaker 1>of their mouth, and not anything about like what the

0:55:10.760 --> 0:55:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the overall content that, like what they're trying to say

0:55:14.520 --> 0:55:17.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter, that the some package of what you're saying

0:55:17.200 --> 0:55:20.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. It's just they're like listening for the wrong

0:55:20.560 --> 0:55:23.400
<v Speaker 1>little thing that comes out of your mouth to condemn

0:55:23.520 --> 0:55:26.960
<v Speaker 1>that rather than like the gist of what you're getting at.

0:55:27.800 --> 0:55:29.439
<v Speaker 1>And I think that like that's the thing that winds

0:55:29.520 --> 0:55:32.520
<v Speaker 1>up making me uneasy about this. But I do do now.

0:55:32.560 --> 0:55:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I just say hunters and anglers because I like, in

0:55:34.719 --> 0:55:37.319
<v Speaker 1>my heart there's like an inclusivity. But but then at

0:55:37.320 --> 0:55:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the same time, I don't like things that that sound weird.

0:55:41.560 --> 0:55:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Whoever said it had to be gender specific? I mean

0:55:44.719 --> 0:55:47.160
<v Speaker 1>that was the when I call somebody a fisherman, that

0:55:47.200 --> 0:55:50.640
<v Speaker 1>means that guy's a fisherman, that guy knows what timing

0:55:50.760 --> 0:55:53.440
<v Speaker 1>is that, or that woman is a hunter, like she

0:55:53.520 --> 0:55:56.839
<v Speaker 1>knows what she's new, and it's like it's a term

0:55:56.880 --> 0:56:03.319
<v Speaker 1>of like it's sugar. I lost my train of thought. Yeah,

0:56:03.360 --> 0:56:06.719
<v Speaker 1>I hear you, man, And to me, it's like unnecessarily divisive.

0:56:07.000 --> 0:56:10.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's like it's like I'm stoked that that

0:56:10.960 --> 0:56:14.480
<v Speaker 1>hunters are female. Hunters are the largest like grow like

0:56:15.520 --> 0:56:17.680
<v Speaker 1>there's more the more growth in that than any other

0:56:17.719 --> 0:56:21.680
<v Speaker 1>demographic within hunting in the last recent decades. That's awesome.

0:56:21.719 --> 0:56:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad. I'm glad to see that. But but but

0:56:24.239 --> 0:56:26.320
<v Speaker 1>why why why do you want to be doing something different,

0:56:26.400 --> 0:56:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Like why do you want to go out like huntressing.

0:56:28.040 --> 0:56:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Why can't you just come hunting with the rest of us.

0:56:31.920 --> 0:56:34.720
<v Speaker 1>It's like, it's just it's it feels like it's drawing

0:56:34.840 --> 0:56:36.839
<v Speaker 1>lines when they're like trying to be kind of like

0:56:37.040 --> 0:56:38.799
<v Speaker 1>if women are trying to get in, trying to become

0:56:38.840 --> 0:56:40.920
<v Speaker 1>of the part of the community, like join the community,

0:56:41.000 --> 0:56:42.719
<v Speaker 1>like be part of be part of the club, don't

0:56:42.719 --> 0:56:45.160
<v Speaker 1>like have your own thing. It's but the battle you

0:56:45.320 --> 0:56:47.040
<v Speaker 1>get is the woman and then we'll drop it. But

0:56:47.080 --> 0:56:49.319
<v Speaker 1>the battle you get is the woman. I'm hearing from

0:56:49.360 --> 0:56:53.879
<v Speaker 1>who enjoy the word huntress are badass? Like or again

0:56:54.040 --> 0:56:57.640
<v Speaker 1>you never know that they call themselves huntresses. But they've

0:56:57.640 --> 0:57:01.359
<v Speaker 1>identified with that word for forty years because the word

0:57:01.360 --> 0:57:03.920
<v Speaker 1>has been around for a lot a long time. Um,

0:57:03.960 --> 0:57:05.920
<v Speaker 1>so it's hard to strip that from them. I get it.

0:57:05.960 --> 0:57:10.320
<v Speaker 1>And I know badass female hunters who who love that word.

0:57:10.360 --> 0:57:12.399
<v Speaker 1>I know this, this girl who hunts with a long

0:57:12.520 --> 0:57:15.719
<v Speaker 1>bow and kills deer and Elk every year, and and

0:57:15.840 --> 0:57:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I heard her read a poem about how her like

0:57:18.320 --> 0:57:21.000
<v Speaker 1>her huntress heart and stuff. But every time she says that,

0:57:21.080 --> 0:57:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I just cringe a little bit. I'm like, I just

0:57:22.840 --> 0:57:26.760
<v Speaker 1>don't really that word, like I could be convinced otherwise.

0:57:26.760 --> 0:57:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to read the story. I'm excited to write

0:57:28.520 --> 0:57:30.640
<v Speaker 1>the story. Got to write it before you read it.

0:57:30.680 --> 0:57:32.120
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like, now you've got a lot of material,

0:57:32.320 --> 0:57:34.080
<v Speaker 1>already had a lot of material before you threw me

0:57:34.120 --> 0:57:36.960
<v Speaker 1>under the bus. I want to get into this thing

0:57:37.040 --> 0:57:40.320
<v Speaker 1>that that's come up in New York. It's the Assembly Bill.

0:57:40.400 --> 0:57:43.880
<v Speaker 1>It's got an exciting name, a O seven to two,

0:57:44.040 --> 0:57:48.400
<v Speaker 1>which does this, it's interesting, provides that it shall be unlawful.

0:57:48.640 --> 0:57:50.080
<v Speaker 1>So this is in the state of New York, far

0:57:50.120 --> 0:57:54.320
<v Speaker 1>away but large, you know, continent and everything. Um, it

0:57:54.360 --> 0:57:58.560
<v Speaker 1>should be unlawful for any person to organize, sponsor, conduct, promote,

0:57:58.720 --> 0:58:04.600
<v Speaker 1>or participate in the contest, competition, tournament, or derby where

0:58:04.600 --> 0:58:09.680
<v Speaker 1>the objective of such contest or competition is to take wildlife.

0:58:09.960 --> 0:58:14.400
<v Speaker 1>So it would be illegal to have a salmon, illegal

0:58:14.480 --> 0:58:21.080
<v Speaker 1>to have a salmon derby, illegal to have screl hunting

0:58:21.080 --> 0:58:24.160
<v Speaker 1>about all these people competing for follows on Instagram? Is

0:58:24.160 --> 0:58:29.800
<v Speaker 1>that technically illegal? Yeah? The pointing to kill social media right, Well,

0:58:29.840 --> 0:58:31.560
<v Speaker 1>what I brought up is my dad and I always

0:58:31.600 --> 0:58:35.440
<v Speaker 1>used to play a game first biggest, most dollar a

0:58:35.520 --> 0:58:38.960
<v Speaker 1>category and I love that when I was a kid, like,

0:58:39.480 --> 0:58:42.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe work harder when we're out fishing, and

0:58:43.200 --> 0:58:48.959
<v Speaker 1>would charitable fundraisers three bucks between a dad and his son. Yeah,

0:58:50.240 --> 0:58:53.240
<v Speaker 1>but like all the charitable fundraisers that are run as Derby's.

0:58:53.920 --> 0:58:56.200
<v Speaker 1>But I know what they're gunning for. They just it's

0:58:56.040 --> 0:58:58.960
<v Speaker 1>a it's a sloppily written law. What they're gunning for

0:58:59.760 --> 0:59:02.480
<v Speaker 1>is like you know, the current like the enemy do

0:59:02.640 --> 0:59:06.760
<v Speaker 1>your which is like kyote un kyote contests, and then

0:59:06.880 --> 0:59:09.560
<v Speaker 1>there I think also like shark tournaments. Well there there

0:59:09.600 --> 0:59:13.600
<v Speaker 1>there's legislation in New Mexico right now that's more narrowly

0:59:13.640 --> 0:59:17.920
<v Speaker 1>tailored than that that's specifically going after kyote hunts, I believe.

0:59:18.600 --> 0:59:20.960
<v Speaker 1>But in New York they're just like all of it.

0:59:21.400 --> 0:59:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Two dudes, I bet you I catch a bigger perch. No,

0:59:24.200 --> 0:59:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you don't know. It's well that that whole that whole

0:59:30.200 --> 0:59:33.320
<v Speaker 1>squirrel hunt debacle in New Jersey. Did you do you

0:59:33.320 --> 0:59:35.280
<v Speaker 1>see this at least that spend your new heart. Yea,

0:59:35.280 --> 0:59:37.640
<v Speaker 1>you guys already talked about that. Yeah, that was wild,

0:59:37.720 --> 0:59:40.320
<v Speaker 1>like the just like seeing the news coverage of that

0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:44.440
<v Speaker 1>and seeing all the signs that people had, like lining

0:59:44.440 --> 0:59:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the road because there's some times as many protesters as

0:59:47.160 --> 0:59:50.120
<v Speaker 1>there were people doing it was like a kid's family thing,

0:59:50.240 --> 0:59:52.520
<v Speaker 1>like get everybody out hunting and stuff. And there was

0:59:52.640 --> 0:59:58.479
<v Speaker 1>some vicious shit about about hunters that I got hard

0:59:58.640 --> 1:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>hard even to repeat when years ago, Like the first

1:00:03.560 --> 1:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the first assignment I did for for Outside and I

1:00:07.040 --> 1:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>begin writing for them years ago, is to cover a

1:00:08.800 --> 1:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>shark tournament in New York called Mako Madness, And I

1:00:12.320 --> 1:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>interviewed a proponent of Mako Madness, and he was just

1:00:16.400 --> 1:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>saying that, sorry, an opponent, he didn't didn't like the tournaments.

1:00:22.000 --> 1:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>And his take was I don't like applying a carnival

1:00:26.560 --> 1:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>atmosphere to like the killing of game, which was his perspective. Yeah,

1:00:31.920 --> 1:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>but he wasn't a fisherman, right, he was a fisherman,

1:00:34.440 --> 1:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>he was. That's interesting. Yeah, so he actually served me

1:00:37.640 --> 1:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>some mako shark okay, okay, Well that's interesting then, because

1:00:40.360 --> 1:00:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I feel like there's a there's a deeper conversation we

1:00:42.840 --> 1:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>had there because I've always been kind of uncomfortable with

1:00:45.600 --> 1:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>like bass Master Classic and that kind of that thing,

1:00:49.440 --> 1:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>that kind of thing, because I think fishing is is

1:00:52.280 --> 1:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>is it's kind of a spiritual activity, at least to me.

1:00:55.560 --> 1:00:57.720
<v Speaker 1>It's it's like where you go to find peace and

1:00:58.280 --> 1:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>calm and quiet and really, you know, work on your

1:01:01.880 --> 1:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>thoughts and your life philosophy and deal with things and

1:01:04.960 --> 1:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>be with friends and commune with nature. And and to

1:01:08.920 --> 1:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>see people putting a two hundred horse outboard on the

1:01:12.800 --> 1:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>back of a sixteen foot boat that's covered in glitter

1:01:15.680 --> 1:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>and it I mean, I mean when I was a

1:01:19.560 --> 1:01:21.160
<v Speaker 1>kid and when I was eight, if you'd ask me

1:01:21.160 --> 1:01:22.400
<v Speaker 1>what are you gonna do with your life? I would

1:01:22.400 --> 1:01:25.960
<v Speaker 1>have said professional bass fishermen. But they're not hurting the resource.

1:01:26.000 --> 1:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>They're not hurting the resource, and it's all catch or

1:01:27.760 --> 1:01:30.320
<v Speaker 1>at least I mean the way they hold the bass

1:01:30.360 --> 1:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>by the lip and crank their neck like there's some science,

1:01:32.920 --> 1:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>new science out that's saying that's not the best handling practices.

1:01:36.960 --> 1:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>That's not my that's not my issue. But the carnival thing,

1:01:39.640 --> 1:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>like I mean that that resonates on some level that

1:01:42.920 --> 1:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>that to to put like an unnecessary just competitive car. Yeah,

1:01:50.520 --> 1:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>just it's just so, it's just it's also seems so

1:01:53.960 --> 1:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>loud and loudness to it. But I still opposed, like

1:01:57.840 --> 1:02:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I opposed the limits. I opposed the drictions because I'm

1:02:01.160 --> 1:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>always looking at when when I think about something like this,

1:02:03.040 --> 1:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm aways looking at like what is the end game?

1:02:06.600 --> 1:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>What is the end game of the person pushing for it?

1:02:09.560 --> 1:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>And I think that I think I don't agree with

1:02:11.760 --> 1:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>their end game, and so no more fun. Yeah, well,

1:02:16.120 --> 1:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I I disagree with the unintended consequences, perhaps more because

1:02:19.800 --> 1:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, are they gonna ban like the little cute

1:02:22.000 --> 1:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>trout Derby's they do in Central Park? Yes, yeah, exactly,

1:02:26.760 --> 1:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Like who's that hurting? You're not even you can't promote it,

1:02:29.320 --> 1:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>so you can't even staple the sign to a tree

1:02:31.240 --> 1:02:36.440
<v Speaker 1>anymore about it. Um, here's a question for someone, Dan Curtis,

1:02:36.440 --> 1:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>he's here tonight, his wife Grace. They got a question.

1:02:40.480 --> 1:02:42.320
<v Speaker 1>It was a long question. I'm trimming it down to

1:02:42.400 --> 1:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>a line. Uh, what is the level of etiquette that

1:02:47.160 --> 1:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>a hunter should expect upon gifting prime time meet to someone?

1:02:53.800 --> 1:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Prime time like high quality? Mine is high? Like I

1:02:59.400 --> 1:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>expect like like when I give something. If I give

1:03:01.960 --> 1:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>someone the gift of fisher fishing game, I have very

1:03:07.560 --> 1:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>like for them to please me. I need to see

1:03:14.200 --> 1:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>a high level of care and then you see prompt use.

1:03:18.640 --> 1:03:20.080
<v Speaker 1>And that was one of the nicest things when I

1:03:20.080 --> 1:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>was living here and Magnolia. I had my neighbor on

1:03:23.920 --> 1:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>that side, my neighbor on that side, and my neighbor

1:03:26.120 --> 1:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>across from me, and I gave them all a lot

1:03:29.800 --> 1:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>of fishing game and they all cooked it real quick like,

1:03:33.160 --> 1:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>and it would share with me, sometimes even with photographs,

1:03:37.000 --> 1:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>what they had done with it. And then I would

1:03:39.200 --> 1:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the next day bring them more stuff like I would.

1:03:42.080 --> 1:03:44.959
<v Speaker 1>I would constantly bring stuff over to these guys because

1:03:45.000 --> 1:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I was seeing that return. If you give something and

1:03:47.720 --> 1:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>you find in their freezer six months later, I've taken

1:03:50.920 --> 1:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>it back. I I was just up at my parents house.

1:03:55.400 --> 1:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>My Hi Mom, Hi Dad, And I want you to

1:03:58.240 --> 1:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>know that I've started to check your freeze or and

1:04:02.560 --> 1:04:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I see that you still have some of my elk,

1:04:04.480 --> 1:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm instituting a rule that I'm not giving

1:04:08.080 --> 1:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>anymore until I find that it's depleted. You got it,

1:04:14.400 --> 1:04:17.080
<v Speaker 1>And she sends me great photos of of the and

1:04:17.120 --> 1:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>she's an amazing uh pastry chef and does really cool

1:04:20.920 --> 1:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff with it and sends me snapchats or whatever the

1:04:25.440 --> 1:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>whole process, and I love that. I think that's a

1:04:27.840 --> 1:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>great feedback loop that i'd encourage people to implement. I

1:04:31.960 --> 1:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>scored a really good hunt permission one time where a

1:04:33.880 --> 1:04:36.640
<v Speaker 1>guy let me on his place, his farm, and I

1:04:36.720 --> 1:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>just asked, can I hunt squirrels on your farm? No

1:04:39.400 --> 1:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>one else was hunt squirrels. And I got some squirrels

1:04:42.680 --> 1:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and went home and made dinner with the squirrels and

1:04:45.320 --> 1:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>texted him a picture of what I made with his squirrels.

1:04:49.600 --> 1:04:51.520
<v Speaker 1>He texted me back that I can hunt deer and

1:04:51.560 --> 1:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>elk on his place or deer in Turkey's on his place. Yeah,

1:04:55.080 --> 1:05:00.439
<v Speaker 1>he was so impressive. People like to see it. That's

1:05:00.440 --> 1:05:03.280
<v Speaker 1>all it takes. How to score your next deer hunting permission?

1:05:03.400 --> 1:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Right there, Steven Ronnellae that squirrel and he'll let you

1:05:08.120 --> 1:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>hunt in his place. Yeah. I was gonna say if

1:05:09.920 --> 1:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I like I get some meat recently to some folks,

1:05:13.320 --> 1:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and um, I haven't heard back from them, but it

1:05:16.400 --> 1:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>got me thinking because I was gonna ask him next

1:05:18.440 --> 1:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>time I run into him. You know what you do

1:05:20.400 --> 1:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>how was it whatever? Because recently I did that with

1:05:23.080 --> 1:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>some other folks that had given me too, maybe six

1:05:25.600 --> 1:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>months ago, and I was like, hey, what did you

1:05:27.240 --> 1:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>do with the hall of it some hollibd that you've

1:05:29.080 --> 1:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>given me? And uh, I got the answer like, yeah,

1:05:32.400 --> 1:05:35.120
<v Speaker 1>we ate it. I was like, you just say that

1:05:35.120 --> 1:05:36.960
<v Speaker 1>that's all you got for me, and it's kind of

1:05:37.000 --> 1:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>in my mind, I was like, it's good you tell

1:05:44.600 --> 1:05:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the story that way because that better reflects. That better

1:05:47.880 --> 1:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>reflects what the question was, because the question was about

1:05:51.680 --> 1:05:55.840
<v Speaker 1>a gift and there was no you know, like, so

1:05:55.920 --> 1:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>how was it? There was no you wanted the person

1:06:00.280 --> 1:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>to be like this, but wait a second, so you

1:06:02.720 --> 1:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>regifted his halibut though, yeah, so how do you feel

1:06:08.400 --> 1:06:17.800
<v Speaker 1>on your healibet? Well, if I gave that's fine. I

1:06:17.840 --> 1:06:20.439
<v Speaker 1>just I only care about the end. If I gave

1:06:20.520 --> 1:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>someone something and then they gave it to someone and

1:06:23.200 --> 1:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>that person came and was like this to me, that's great.

1:06:27.320 --> 1:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>It's just knowing that because in my mind, I'm doing

1:06:30.560 --> 1:06:32.959
<v Speaker 1>people just a normal good turn, but I'm also doing

1:06:33.040 --> 1:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>like I'm also trying to like publicly elevate the status

1:06:38.280 --> 1:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>of the resource so that people will look at the

1:06:42.240 --> 1:06:45.480
<v Speaker 1>water and look look at the mountain or whatever, and

1:06:45.520 --> 1:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>they'll be like, Oh, there's that thing, this thing, this giant,

1:06:50.040 --> 1:06:54.080
<v Speaker 1>beautiful thing that produced this wonderful thing that I ate,

1:06:54.240 --> 1:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and therefore I recognize the value of the of the

1:06:57.320 --> 1:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>producing habitat. I'm kind of getting at and I'm also

1:07:00.560 --> 1:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of trying to be like a nice dude, but yeah,

1:07:03.640 --> 1:07:07.640
<v Speaker 1>like bringing up like elevating the resources, elevating the things

1:07:07.680 --> 1:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>that promote the resources, and so I don't give a

1:07:09.320 --> 1:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>ship who in the end wise though, having it another question,

1:07:14.200 --> 1:07:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and this is like a really like you and I

1:07:15.760 --> 1:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>talked to April. You and I talked about this one

1:07:17.400 --> 1:07:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot a long time ago. But this is this

1:07:19.040 --> 1:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>is a good This is an ethics conundrum where someone

1:07:23.560 --> 1:07:29.760
<v Speaker 1>don't don't what's that thing like, don't like killing the messenger.

1:07:30.440 --> 1:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading up this, I'm paraphrasing A thing of dude

1:07:33.360 --> 1:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>is saying how the pursuit of white tales with a

1:07:38.000 --> 1:07:42.960
<v Speaker 1>bow is one of the only times and inferior implement

1:07:43.160 --> 1:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>is considered morally superior. Using a spear would be further

1:07:48.160 --> 1:07:51.600
<v Speaker 1>inferior and difficult. But there are very few advocating the

1:07:51.640 --> 1:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>moral purity of spear hunting. That's like a very legitimate point.

1:07:57.000 --> 1:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like people feel great about using a bow but

1:07:59.240 --> 1:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>not a gun. But and if you use a spear,

1:08:01.400 --> 1:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>you lose all your sponsorships. Remember that dude that Yeah,

1:08:04.280 --> 1:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what people didn't celebrate him. It was. So it's

1:08:14.000 --> 1:08:19.559
<v Speaker 1>like rifle, this kind of moral um bow, this kind

1:08:19.600 --> 1:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>of moral spear. It's confusing. That's always confusing some states.

1:08:29.600 --> 1:08:33.360
<v Speaker 1>And he's not done. He's not done. Likewise, a person

1:08:33.439 --> 1:08:37.080
<v Speaker 1>could choose to commute in a model T or hand

1:08:37.120 --> 1:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>saw lumber for a home construction project. Making those choices

1:08:41.200 --> 1:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>would certainly make the tasks more arduous, But I doubt

1:08:45.040 --> 1:08:48.759
<v Speaker 1>anyone considers the Model T commuter stuck in the Lincoln

1:08:48.760 --> 1:08:53.759
<v Speaker 1>Tunnel to morally superior to those in air conditioned cars.

1:08:55.520 --> 1:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Choosing a weapon which increases the perceived personal reward level

1:09:00.040 --> 1:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>for the hunter at the expense of a quick, in

1:09:02.400 --> 1:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>humane kill is a dreadful, selfish act. His words. Let

1:09:09.200 --> 1:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the hunt be challenging, Let the train be difficult, the

1:09:11.640 --> 1:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>game reclusive and wary, the location parallel, perilous to access,

1:09:16.920 --> 1:09:19.200
<v Speaker 1>add difficult to do the hunt in places where the

1:09:19.280 --> 1:09:21.919
<v Speaker 1>quick dispatch of an animal doesn't hang in the balance.

1:09:23.200 --> 1:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>When it comes time to complete the most important task

1:09:26.360 --> 1:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>of hunting, choosing a weapon with the highest likelihood of

1:09:29.280 --> 1:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>an ethical and immediate kill is the highest moral ground.

1:09:32.960 --> 1:09:38.560
<v Speaker 1>So what's the question? I like this guy. The question is, uh,

1:09:38.800 --> 1:09:41.439
<v Speaker 1>you would express this to me before I had questioned you,

1:09:41.479 --> 1:09:43.599
<v Speaker 1>before you question about it. I'm just wondering where you're

1:09:43.600 --> 1:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>at on it, because that like a say yeah, I

1:09:47.240 --> 1:09:52.320
<v Speaker 1>put I hold like I struggle with how to. I

1:09:52.400 --> 1:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>know that I can tear his argument down. I just

1:09:55.280 --> 1:09:59.519
<v Speaker 1>know that it's it's hard to do it. Look, I'm

1:09:59.800 --> 1:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>do it a minute. Do you want it? I'm gonna

1:10:01.880 --> 1:10:05.519
<v Speaker 1>try go for it. I want you to go first. Well,

1:10:05.560 --> 1:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I had asked Steve when I had Steve on my show,

1:10:08.080 --> 1:10:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I had asked Steve if it was more ethical to

1:10:10.520 --> 1:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>kill with a bow or a gun, because I hear

1:10:13.360 --> 1:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>conflicting reports and I've only been hunting for I don't

1:10:15.960 --> 1:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>know four years, So for me, I was hearing all

1:10:18.400 --> 1:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>sorts of different reports, and a lot of people were

1:10:21.720 --> 1:10:25.760
<v Speaker 1>telling me that a bow was more humane, and um,

1:10:25.800 --> 1:10:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the more I looked into it, the more I was

1:10:27.720 --> 1:10:29.880
<v Speaker 1>finding that's actually kind of a gray area. So no,

1:10:30.000 --> 1:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not a gray area. Well, do you think that

1:10:32.000 --> 1:10:35.240
<v Speaker 1>they like look at capital punishment? Do you feel that

1:10:35.320 --> 1:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>you could you imagine a situation where the administered capital

1:10:39.200 --> 1:10:48.680
<v Speaker 1>punishment with archery equipment, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, they use

1:10:48.760 --> 1:10:56.439
<v Speaker 1>those guillotine broadheads, like a big nine inch cutting blade guillotine. Bro. So,

1:10:56.520 --> 1:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>since leaving you and and looking more into it, like

1:10:59.200 --> 1:11:01.000
<v Speaker 1>this year I went out with a gun. I was

1:11:01.000 --> 1:11:02.840
<v Speaker 1>going to fully try to get one with a gun.

1:11:03.360 --> 1:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I get stuck in limited situations when a when I've

1:11:06.160 --> 1:11:08.519
<v Speaker 1>got my baby on my back, I'm obviously stuck with

1:11:08.560 --> 1:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>a bow. I'm not going to take a shot with

1:11:10.320 --> 1:11:13.599
<v Speaker 1>her on my back with a gun. And um, some

1:11:13.640 --> 1:11:16.080
<v Speaker 1>of the properties that I hunt like in Australia especially,

1:11:16.120 --> 1:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I can't have a gun, so I'm limited to the

1:11:18.280 --> 1:11:20.840
<v Speaker 1>bow and same with obviously different seasons. But if I

1:11:20.840 --> 1:11:23.559
<v Speaker 1>can take an for me, I wanted to be the

1:11:23.600 --> 1:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>most most ethical shot possible. I know we had this conversation,

1:11:28.120 --> 1:11:30.040
<v Speaker 1>you said, the animal doesn't care. You know it's going

1:11:30.080 --> 1:11:32.639
<v Speaker 1>to die. But I would like to get as close

1:11:32.680 --> 1:11:35.479
<v Speaker 1>to the animal as possible, so I know I'm making

1:11:35.560 --> 1:11:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the most accurate shot as possible. I don't care if

1:11:37.680 --> 1:11:40.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a gun or a bow, but I need to

1:11:40.840 --> 1:11:43.280
<v Speaker 1>know it's the most humane shot that I can make

1:11:44.280 --> 1:11:46.400
<v Speaker 1>given my situation, whether I've got the baby or whether

1:11:46.439 --> 1:11:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I've got um property access. Like when I think about

1:11:51.160 --> 1:11:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the question, I think about why, Like I see what

1:11:53.439 --> 1:11:56.559
<v Speaker 1>he's getting at is the only thing about I think

1:11:56.600 --> 1:12:01.439
<v Speaker 1>that he's um. He's stripping this like really complicated thing

1:12:01.560 --> 1:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>down to a simple thing, because like taking something that

1:12:03.880 --> 1:12:06.519
<v Speaker 1>has many inputs and considerations and acting like the one

1:12:06.560 --> 1:12:12.000
<v Speaker 1>consideration is like is how quickly one can administer death

1:12:12.080 --> 1:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>to this thing you're trying to hunt for? And it's

1:12:15.160 --> 1:12:17.760
<v Speaker 1>like I guess you, I guess. Just to give a

1:12:17.800 --> 1:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>really honest answer about it, is I have a lot

1:12:20.800 --> 1:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>of other factors that I'm considering in and you also

1:12:23.960 --> 1:12:27.599
<v Speaker 1>have you also have like resource level things where the

1:12:27.680 --> 1:12:31.439
<v Speaker 1>lack of efficacy if like if bows, if a bow

1:12:31.640 --> 1:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>is less less effective than a gun, the lack of

1:12:35.320 --> 1:12:40.840
<v Speaker 1>efficacy allows more people to participate in the activity. That's

1:12:40.840 --> 1:12:42.559
<v Speaker 1>why in so many places you can get an over

1:12:42.560 --> 1:12:45.559
<v Speaker 1>to everybody that wants can go archery hunting for something,

1:12:45.760 --> 1:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>but every thebody that wants can't go rifle hunting for

1:12:48.439 --> 1:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>something is because the efficacy does it so if we

1:12:51.840 --> 1:12:53.680
<v Speaker 1>were really going to play the game to the end,

1:12:54.360 --> 1:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it would probably be that you had to put out

1:12:57.080 --> 1:13:02.040
<v Speaker 1>like a specific bait laced with um like lace with

1:13:02.080 --> 1:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>a sleeping agent in a poison. If you're really if

1:13:06.160 --> 1:13:08.320
<v Speaker 1>the only goal was always like if the only thing

1:13:08.400 --> 1:13:10.800
<v Speaker 1>that hunters cared about was just like administering death as

1:13:10.880 --> 1:13:15.240
<v Speaker 1>quickly as possible, you'd use grenade launcher, you know what

1:13:15.280 --> 1:13:17.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. So it's like if you no, I'm saying,

1:13:17.479 --> 1:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna chase that, if that's gonna be the

1:13:19.760 --> 1:13:21.920
<v Speaker 1>only thing you care about, the only thing you chase.

1:13:22.040 --> 1:13:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that we've really arrived at the right answer,

1:13:25.360 --> 1:13:28.040
<v Speaker 1>because it's just more complicated. And I do think that,

1:13:28.080 --> 1:13:31.639
<v Speaker 1>like if you factor in that that if you hit

1:13:31.680 --> 1:13:33.519
<v Speaker 1>someone with a bow and you get a shot and

1:13:33.520 --> 1:13:35.400
<v Speaker 1>you double along it, it has enough time to go

1:13:35.479 --> 1:13:37.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty yards and die, or it falls over and dies

1:13:38.280 --> 1:13:42.280
<v Speaker 1>much more quickly. UM. I think that hunting is like that,

1:13:42.320 --> 1:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a selfish act. What you're like, you're doing a

1:13:44.240 --> 1:13:47.880
<v Speaker 1>thing for a bunch of personal reasons, and in in

1:13:48.479 --> 1:13:52.559
<v Speaker 1>the reward one gets for doing it in a in

1:13:52.600 --> 1:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>a way like a difficult way, like a bow and

1:13:54.400 --> 1:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the amount of discipline and skill that it takes. It's

1:13:57.320 --> 1:14:00.639
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a cold calculation, but maybe that reward

1:14:00.720 --> 1:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that one feels outweighs that three seconds of right like

1:14:06.320 --> 1:14:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that gain for you and your calculus outweighs the three

1:14:09.960 --> 1:14:14.240
<v Speaker 1>seconds of stress that the thing has as it crosses

1:14:14.280 --> 1:14:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the stage and dies over there. Maybe for some people,

1:14:16.360 --> 1:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>not for me. I would take any weapon then I

1:14:18.120 --> 1:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>feel I can get the job done with most efficiently

1:14:20.439 --> 1:14:23.840
<v Speaker 1>fastest I just have. I started with a bow and

1:14:23.840 --> 1:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>it just kind of stuck from there. First gun I

1:14:26.840 --> 1:14:30.560
<v Speaker 1>really shot, was it your house is right? Yeah? I

1:14:30.640 --> 1:14:35.439
<v Speaker 1>still shot that motherfucker in your backyard. That's good. N

1:14:35.880 --> 1:14:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when hunt became like morally better? People

1:14:41.280 --> 1:14:45.759
<v Speaker 1>act like it's way more you say people. You say people,

1:14:45.840 --> 1:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>but what people are? They all name names, I know,

1:14:50.200 --> 1:14:52.240
<v Speaker 1>but they're like a group or like can you break

1:14:52.280 --> 1:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>it down? And I feel like it was just a

1:14:55.880 --> 1:14:57.920
<v Speaker 1>piece in the wall street That's what I'm hearing. And

1:14:58.240 --> 1:15:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Sam just hit it on the head. And same reason

1:15:00.120 --> 1:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>with why I started with the bow hunting is that

1:15:02.960 --> 1:15:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I was everybody would be like or people I would

1:15:05.000 --> 1:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>meet be like, oh yeah, Hunt, But I'm a bow hunter,

1:15:07.840 --> 1:15:10.559
<v Speaker 1>so as a non hunter someone looking to get into it,

1:15:10.600 --> 1:15:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I kept hearing this and I thought, well, that's just

1:15:12.840 --> 1:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's the rednecks who shoot guns. And I

1:15:16.280 --> 1:15:18.479
<v Speaker 1>heard someone just say fly fisherman and that that is

1:15:18.760 --> 1:15:20.000
<v Speaker 1>for me. It was a lot of that. A lot

1:15:20.040 --> 1:15:24.040
<v Speaker 1>of these fly fishermen were getting into or into bow hunting,

1:15:24.160 --> 1:15:26.759
<v Speaker 1>and they would they would say that there were parallels

1:15:26.800 --> 1:15:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and that it was the equivalent to fly fishing. Um,

1:15:30.520 --> 1:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>And they just made it sound like it was more ethical.

1:15:32.240 --> 1:15:34.719
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I asked you, is it more ethical?

1:15:34.800 --> 1:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Because these bow hunters were saying to me, yeah, you

1:15:37.040 --> 1:15:41.599
<v Speaker 1>don't interrupt the environment, you know with the sound, which

1:15:41.640 --> 1:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>is ridiculous because I was bow hunting all fall and

1:15:44.080 --> 1:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I could hear guns everywhere, like it didn't didn't make

1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>a difference where I was. Um. But the more I

1:15:50.400 --> 1:15:53.000
<v Speaker 1>think about just the I just I don't know, I

1:15:53.160 --> 1:15:55.200
<v Speaker 1>don't see how it is more ethical. Can you guys

1:15:55.240 --> 1:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>prove me? Theoretically? Leveling the playing fields somehow doing people

1:16:01.920 --> 1:16:05.120
<v Speaker 1>that don't hunt, or they're like, oh, you're giving them

1:16:05.120 --> 1:16:07.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, Oh well I had to sneak up instead

1:16:07.080 --> 1:16:10.559
<v Speaker 1>of just you know, you've got guys now eight yards away,

1:16:10.640 --> 1:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and you know the whole people, you know, non hunters.

1:16:14.160 --> 1:16:18.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I live in Seattle, I'm surrounded by him.

1:16:18.840 --> 1:16:21.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's lots of ways to pass judgment, but

1:16:21.320 --> 1:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>it's an easier way to gain some sort of you know,

1:16:26.240 --> 1:16:29.880
<v Speaker 1>legitimacy to it being it's like, well, it's hard, you know,

1:16:30.040 --> 1:16:34.360
<v Speaker 1>it's it's hard. Is hard. Let's be straight. It's not

1:16:34.520 --> 1:16:38.120
<v Speaker 1>harder for me to hard to worry about hard ethical

1:16:38.320 --> 1:16:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Hard is not ethical. It's two different things that you're asking.

1:16:41.560 --> 1:16:45.040
<v Speaker 1>The question is to why it's relevant. Yeah, and and

1:16:45.040 --> 1:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and it is. It is a lot of non I

1:16:46.880 --> 1:16:49.200
<v Speaker 1>think this bring that forward. And I also think that

1:16:49.240 --> 1:16:52.680
<v Speaker 1>like new hunters to like, I've had a lot of

1:16:52.680 --> 1:16:54.639
<v Speaker 1>my friends who have got into hunting in their late

1:16:54.680 --> 1:16:58.960
<v Speaker 1>twenties early thirties, and it's been fascinating to me to

1:16:59.200 --> 1:17:03.400
<v Speaker 1>see the issues they have to wrestle with that have never,

1:17:04.920 --> 1:17:07.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, never never bothered me. Like you know that,

1:17:07.360 --> 1:17:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, I I grew up like like shoulder

1:17:11.000 --> 1:17:13.679
<v Speaker 1>deep in salmon guts and and and you know, bonking

1:17:13.720 --> 1:17:16.400
<v Speaker 1>fish on the head and and helping put your deer

1:17:16.439 --> 1:17:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and and all that. So like the death part has

1:17:19.320 --> 1:17:22.960
<v Speaker 1>never you know it. I think I kind of walked

1:17:23.160 --> 1:17:26.080
<v Speaker 1>walked over that threshold before I had quite the mental

1:17:26.120 --> 1:17:29.200
<v Speaker 1>capacity to really wrestle with it. So it's always felt

1:17:29.240 --> 1:17:32.080
<v Speaker 1>very natural. But people who are coming into it later

1:17:32.200 --> 1:17:35.800
<v Speaker 1>really have to surpass some of these difficult questions, like

1:17:35.840 --> 1:17:39.600
<v Speaker 1>how they feel about taking a life just for the

1:17:39.640 --> 1:17:43.200
<v Speaker 1>sake of sport and sustaining their own life. And I

1:17:43.240 --> 1:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>think some people, I think a lot of people feel

1:17:46.120 --> 1:17:49.679
<v Speaker 1>better about that if it feels more fair to them.

1:17:50.000 --> 1:17:52.800
<v Speaker 1>And what I always say is rifle hunting for ELK

1:17:52.920 --> 1:17:57.120
<v Speaker 1>is plenty fair. Like I mean, in Washington, it's gonna

1:17:57.120 --> 1:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>be less than ten percent of people who buy an

1:17:59.240 --> 1:18:02.600
<v Speaker 1>ELK down matter where successful. Yeah, absolutely so. I'm like,

1:18:02.680 --> 1:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>if you want to be hard, only walk backward, Like

1:18:08.280 --> 1:18:12.040
<v Speaker 1>only walk backward with a rifle is really challenging, Yeah,

1:18:12.120 --> 1:18:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Or be responsible rifle hunter, like like you guys do.

1:18:15.680 --> 1:18:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Like a rule you guys have that I've adopted of

1:18:17.760 --> 1:18:20.599
<v Speaker 1>not taking shots past four hundred. I mean, I haven't

1:18:20.600 --> 1:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>taken a shot past three hundred and long in long,

1:18:23.040 --> 1:18:25.280
<v Speaker 1>long time. It's just a close in the gap. That's

1:18:25.280 --> 1:18:27.000
<v Speaker 1>all it was for me, was closing the gap. I

1:18:27.040 --> 1:18:28.759
<v Speaker 1>still if I have a gun in my hand, would

1:18:28.840 --> 1:18:32.360
<v Speaker 1>rather get closer? Sure? Yeah, just for me, It's all

1:18:32.400 --> 1:18:35.400
<v Speaker 1>about closing the gap. It's the fun part. Okay. If

1:18:35.439 --> 1:18:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you could, uh, if you could snap your fingers and

1:18:40.040 --> 1:18:44.639
<v Speaker 1>automatically be an absolute master of one hunting and fishing skill.

1:18:47.000 --> 1:18:58.160
<v Speaker 1>What would the skill be? Sneaking up on stuff? Okay? Yeah?

1:18:58.280 --> 1:19:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Figuring out how to stay quiet, keep my heart rate

1:19:01.280 --> 1:19:05.519
<v Speaker 1>under control, just like deep breath, see what I'm doing,

1:19:06.040 --> 1:19:10.120
<v Speaker 1>get the wind right, not let my the excitement of

1:19:10.200 --> 1:19:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the moment, just taking that deep breath and figuring out,

1:19:12.880 --> 1:19:14.599
<v Speaker 1>all right, the winds this way. I need to go

1:19:14.680 --> 1:19:17.559
<v Speaker 1>this way like my once I can because I have

1:19:17.680 --> 1:19:20.800
<v Speaker 1>good notes, I can like once I'm in it, all

1:19:20.800 --> 1:19:23.000
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, my old game plan in every magazine

1:19:23.080 --> 1:19:25.080
<v Speaker 1>or book or podcast, the thing that I've read goes

1:19:25.080 --> 1:19:27.680
<v Speaker 1>out the window, and it's like my heart rates at

1:19:27.720 --> 1:19:29.880
<v Speaker 1>like one forty and I'm like, you know, and then

1:19:29.920 --> 1:19:32.680
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to do everything correctly. Yeah, if I could

1:19:32.720 --> 1:19:37.000
<v Speaker 1>just stay calm for a minute, that would be mine.

1:19:37.000 --> 1:19:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Are you hip to guys who have been using beta

1:19:39.920 --> 1:19:45.599
<v Speaker 1>blockers to do that? Well? Define beta blockers. I've pretty

1:19:45.640 --> 1:19:47.800
<v Speaker 1>much tried everything. No, it's like, what the hell is it.

1:19:48.080 --> 1:19:50.559
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's like a medication. People take the medication

1:19:50.600 --> 1:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>for some reasons then find that they don't get buck

1:19:52.439 --> 1:19:56.200
<v Speaker 1>fever anymore. Yeah, and like you're not like there's it's

1:19:56.240 --> 1:19:59.559
<v Speaker 1>a band substance. Like people that shoot, uh competitive pistol

1:19:59.600 --> 1:20:03.000
<v Speaker 1>shooting and stuff, they can't use beta blockers calms you

1:20:03.040 --> 1:20:05.639
<v Speaker 1>down too much. Maybe I should look into beta blockers. Yeah,

1:20:05.640 --> 1:20:08.679
<v Speaker 1>guys talk about get no. Dudes say that their doctor

1:20:08.680 --> 1:20:10.439
<v Speaker 1>would put them on a beta blocker. And also they

1:20:10.439 --> 1:20:12.120
<v Speaker 1>realized that when a buck comes in, they don't get

1:20:12.120 --> 1:20:16.479
<v Speaker 1>panicky as panicky. I don't get panicky. I just get

1:20:16.880 --> 1:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the moment you're there. I just li

1:20:19.400 --> 1:20:22.800
<v Speaker 1>show wasn't better right if one skill quiet and just

1:20:23.479 --> 1:20:27.880
<v Speaker 1>quiet as a generality, mentally quiet, mentally quiet, and then

1:20:27.920 --> 1:20:29.840
<v Speaker 1>also just to be able to read this sick of

1:20:29.960 --> 1:20:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the circumstance. I think the one thing that like the

1:20:33.920 --> 1:20:37.360
<v Speaker 1>thing that I missed out on is um it was

1:20:37.439 --> 1:20:42.439
<v Speaker 1>lazy about is all forms of calling because I've always

1:20:42.479 --> 1:20:47.120
<v Speaker 1>was for whatever reason, uh would be with someone who

1:20:47.160 --> 1:20:49.840
<v Speaker 1>is better at it than me and then let them

1:20:49.880 --> 1:20:53.960
<v Speaker 1>be the one that did it. And that went on

1:20:54.000 --> 1:20:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and on and on that went on and on and

1:20:55.320 --> 1:20:57.640
<v Speaker 1>on and now here I'm in like my forties and

1:20:57.680 --> 1:20:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I've always like my early when I was a little kid,

1:20:59.840 --> 1:21:01.800
<v Speaker 1>my lollard Danny was a really good caller, So we

1:21:01.880 --> 1:21:04.040
<v Speaker 1>hunt a dugs. He is called to shut up because

1:21:04.080 --> 1:21:06.479
<v Speaker 1>Danny was good at it, and then like you know,

1:21:06.560 --> 1:21:08.360
<v Speaker 1>hunting out with the honest. Honest is a great caller,

1:21:08.439 --> 1:21:12.720
<v Speaker 1>so he just calls um and yeah, missing out on

1:21:12.920 --> 1:21:14.800
<v Speaker 1>like like that that and it's never too late, but

1:21:15.720 --> 1:21:19.080
<v Speaker 1>that that I didn't cultivate that skill and I'm only

1:21:19.120 --> 1:21:22.080
<v Speaker 1>now just like a you know, getting better at it.

1:21:22.240 --> 1:21:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Well I kind of suck at it. I mean I

1:21:24.000 --> 1:21:26.920
<v Speaker 1>make up for it in other ways a little bit.

1:21:26.960 --> 1:21:28.920
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, that was that's been a real miss man.

1:21:29.680 --> 1:21:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm I'm sorry interrupt, But the process is fun.

1:21:33.160 --> 1:21:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean I get this game, and I enjoy playing

1:21:34.960 --> 1:21:36.639
<v Speaker 1>the game and just throwing out something that we could

1:21:36.680 --> 1:21:39.920
<v Speaker 1>just like not have to learn and experience to get better.

1:21:40.560 --> 1:21:42.640
<v Speaker 1>But like if we're not sitting here saying that we

1:21:42.640 --> 1:21:46.439
<v Speaker 1>don't enjoy like going through learning buck fever and how

1:21:46.479 --> 1:21:49.719
<v Speaker 1>to you know, get over it and learning calls for

1:21:50.640 --> 1:21:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, we've been at it for twenty years

1:21:53.040 --> 1:21:57.040
<v Speaker 1>now of like was freaking latex and glue in our mouths.

1:21:57.160 --> 1:22:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Just yeah, you know, is over and over and over

1:22:01.320 --> 1:22:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and and but like you got to enjoy that, that

1:22:04.760 --> 1:22:08.360
<v Speaker 1>not being good and becoming good. I think that process right, Yeah,

1:22:08.400 --> 1:22:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I think the journey was seemed hard for me. You

1:22:11.000 --> 1:22:14.640
<v Speaker 1>know that's my regret. You didn't enjoy it? No, I

1:22:14.640 --> 1:22:19.679
<v Speaker 1>didn't enjoy it. Yeah. I if I could and snap

1:22:19.760 --> 1:22:23.280
<v Speaker 1>my fingers, become a master or something, I improve my

1:22:23.280 --> 1:22:27.360
<v Speaker 1>my archery shot I've been doing. I've been doing an

1:22:27.439 --> 1:22:30.519
<v Speaker 1>archery league at that little shop down the street from

1:22:30.520 --> 1:22:34.160
<v Speaker 1>the office, and god have been a mess, Like because

1:22:34.200 --> 1:22:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I archery practice has always been like a solitary thing

1:22:37.000 --> 1:22:39.800
<v Speaker 1>for me. I'd like you shoot my backyard growing up,

1:22:40.120 --> 1:22:43.040
<v Speaker 1>or go out to the range and zula by myself.

1:22:43.080 --> 1:22:47.960
<v Speaker 1>But shooting with the last week they had like a

1:22:48.080 --> 1:22:51.439
<v Speaker 1>they had like a steel barrel on a swivel that

1:22:51.479 --> 1:22:53.880
<v Speaker 1>would like go around to both ends were cut off

1:22:54.040 --> 1:22:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and it would like it wasn't it wasn't like a

1:22:56.400 --> 1:22:58.960
<v Speaker 1>slow spit. Oh my god. It threw me to what

1:22:58.960 --> 1:23:00.679
<v Speaker 1>the hell is that supposed to teach you? But I don't,

1:23:01.000 --> 1:23:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, like as like an elk passes through

1:23:03.320 --> 1:23:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the gap like yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, But I mean

1:23:09.040 --> 1:23:11.280
<v Speaker 1>having a bunch of people around and like, you know,

1:23:11.320 --> 1:23:14.000
<v Speaker 1>coming into it cold. Like the first day I rolled

1:23:14.120 --> 1:23:16.880
<v Speaker 1>up and I was already late. Everybody had started, and

1:23:16.880 --> 1:23:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I like, pull out my bow and get ready. I'm like, oh,

1:23:19.720 --> 1:23:22.559
<v Speaker 1>all broadheads great, and one still has elk long all

1:23:22.560 --> 1:23:27.240
<v Speaker 1>over it. Um, And so it's just I just, uh, yeah,

1:23:27.400 --> 1:23:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I could do so much to be a better bosh.

1:23:30.120 --> 1:23:32.759
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing it for fifteen years, and I still

1:23:32.800 --> 1:23:34.840
<v Speaker 1>feel like I have a long ways to go to

1:23:34.880 --> 1:23:37.880
<v Speaker 1>reach that, you know, those that ten thousand hours or

1:23:38.600 --> 1:23:42.439
<v Speaker 1>reach mastery. Uh. One last thing I want to touch

1:23:42.479 --> 1:23:44.960
<v Speaker 1>on and then we're gonna play our game. Oh you

1:23:45.000 --> 1:23:47.840
<v Speaker 1>just did it. Did you know? What was my thing

1:23:47.880 --> 1:23:50.120
<v Speaker 1>that I was going to become? The process of column

1:23:51.360 --> 1:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I was just enjoying. You can go three times. I

1:23:53.960 --> 1:23:57.559
<v Speaker 1>don't care. He wants some master enjoying the process of

1:23:57.640 --> 1:24:01.560
<v Speaker 1>learning things. Oh yeah, please. Um. If I could just

1:24:01.600 --> 1:24:04.200
<v Speaker 1>snap my fingers and just like one thing I could

1:24:04.240 --> 1:24:06.320
<v Speaker 1>just master in the whole honey and fishing world, it

1:24:06.360 --> 1:24:10.400
<v Speaker 1>would just be how to manifest and just conjure up animals,

1:24:10.479 --> 1:24:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Like when I look at that hill and be like

1:24:12.240 --> 1:24:21.960
<v Speaker 1>there he is the manifestations is dad knows how to manifest? Yeah? No,

1:24:22.200 --> 1:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>in all, in all seriousness, it'd be tracking. Oh yeah,

1:24:26.160 --> 1:24:29.439
<v Speaker 1>to have that skill just to like without even like

1:24:29.560 --> 1:24:32.760
<v Speaker 1>bending over from six ft too well, my eyes are

1:24:32.760 --> 1:24:35.439
<v Speaker 1>probably at six ft just to look down and be

1:24:35.479 --> 1:24:41.720
<v Speaker 1>able to just to see, you know, way ahead, just follow,

1:24:41.880 --> 1:24:44.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, the best guy. The best people I know

1:24:44.439 --> 1:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>that are people that refer trappers. Yes, I agree, because

1:24:48.040 --> 1:24:51.720
<v Speaker 1>just like for hours every day, hours every day you

1:24:51.800 --> 1:24:54.519
<v Speaker 1>being one of those people and little teeny clues man,

1:24:54.960 --> 1:24:58.200
<v Speaker 1>little teeny clues. Um, okay, we gotta do our deal.

1:25:00.120 --> 1:25:03.439
<v Speaker 1>How are we gonna you know, we didn't do Simon,

1:25:04.760 --> 1:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what we didn't do giving stuff away

1:25:08.120 --> 1:25:15.040
<v Speaker 1>to to to do seeing through the bullshit? Oh right, yeah.

1:25:15.080 --> 1:25:16.439
<v Speaker 1>But there's the thing I want to talk about real quick,

1:25:16.479 --> 1:25:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and so many people are written in about it. It's

1:25:19.080 --> 1:25:21.400
<v Speaker 1>like this is one of those you guys don't need

1:25:21.439 --> 1:25:23.880
<v Speaker 1>to say anything. But we've had so many people right

1:25:23.920 --> 1:25:28.719
<v Speaker 1>in about uh, a border wall on our southern border,

1:25:28.800 --> 1:25:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Like what does a border wall mean for wildlife? And

1:25:32.760 --> 1:25:34.840
<v Speaker 1>like every day someone writes in the box has been

1:25:34.920 --> 1:25:36.519
<v Speaker 1>in the news so much. But whether we're gonna build

1:25:36.520 --> 1:25:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the border wall or not. But I find that people

1:25:40.000 --> 1:25:42.719
<v Speaker 1>get mad, Like people don't want to hear the answer.

1:25:43.080 --> 1:25:44.720
<v Speaker 1>They don't want to hear about it because they don't

1:25:44.760 --> 1:25:48.479
<v Speaker 1>want it to um challenge. However, they feel about it

1:25:48.600 --> 1:25:51.519
<v Speaker 1>because you could have, you could have. There's a very

1:25:51.600 --> 1:25:55.600
<v Speaker 1>legitimate argument to be made. You want to build a

1:25:55.640 --> 1:25:58.840
<v Speaker 1>border wall, and you should be able to think that well,

1:25:58.960 --> 1:26:02.800
<v Speaker 1>knowing everything that that would mean. Right, like if you're

1:26:02.840 --> 1:26:06.040
<v Speaker 1>saying too, if you're talking with your spouse, but whether

1:26:06.040 --> 1:26:07.840
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna go on vacation, and you decide like we're

1:26:07.880 --> 1:26:10.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna go on vacation, and then someone points out, well,

1:26:10.439 --> 1:26:13.679
<v Speaker 1>if you go on vacation, we're gonna have less money

1:26:13.880 --> 1:26:16.599
<v Speaker 1>and our savings account. No one gets mad at you

1:26:17.400 --> 1:26:23.600
<v Speaker 1>for pointing that out. So does the wall affect wildlife?

1:26:24.920 --> 1:26:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Like how could it? Like? Absolutely it does. It cuts

1:26:27.080 --> 1:26:29.160
<v Speaker 1>off like people keep writing in about like it's some

1:26:29.240 --> 1:26:32.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of mystery. You're denying access to water, to certain things,

1:26:33.439 --> 1:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and you're preventing the movement of animals. And since since

1:26:37.680 --> 1:26:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the dawn of time, wildlife has moved freely back and

1:26:41.400 --> 1:26:44.680
<v Speaker 1>forth across the border, and like jaguars come in and

1:26:44.680 --> 1:26:48.560
<v Speaker 1>out awesol lots come in and out, desert, big horns,

1:26:49.200 --> 1:26:54.200
<v Speaker 1>prong horns, cou's deer, mule deer in some places, even

1:26:54.640 --> 1:27:00.439
<v Speaker 1>bison um. And then historically you had speci ease that

1:27:00.479 --> 1:27:03.320
<v Speaker 1>would like, for instance, at that they think that at

1:27:03.320 --> 1:27:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the end of the place the scene, we lost mountain

1:27:05.920 --> 1:27:08.080
<v Speaker 1>lions and what's now the Lower forty eight and mountain

1:27:08.080 --> 1:27:11.040
<v Speaker 1>lions only lived to the south and recononized back and forth.

1:27:11.360 --> 1:27:16.160
<v Speaker 1>So there's always been this exchange going on. Um. And

1:27:16.200 --> 1:27:18.599
<v Speaker 1>if you are saying you want to if one's gonna

1:27:18.600 --> 1:27:21.960
<v Speaker 1>build an impenetrable wall, you're gonna impede the exchange. But

1:27:22.000 --> 1:27:24.320
<v Speaker 1>that that's not like solving the question of whether it

1:27:24.360 --> 1:27:26.720
<v Speaker 1>needs to happen in my mind, But it's just like

1:27:26.880 --> 1:27:32.120
<v Speaker 1>a factor that one has to wait. But like people

1:27:32.120 --> 1:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>get pissed when you bring it up. I think you

1:27:34.280 --> 1:27:36.080
<v Speaker 1>could bring it up and realize that that's the truth

1:27:36.120 --> 1:27:37.519
<v Speaker 1>and still think that that's what you want to do,

1:27:37.600 --> 1:27:39.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's just the reality. I know guys who hunt

1:27:39.920 --> 1:27:42.840
<v Speaker 1>that border country you live down there, who are super

1:27:42.880 --> 1:27:46.720
<v Speaker 1>worried about it things. I think it's gonna mess up

1:27:46.720 --> 1:27:49.840
<v Speaker 1>there deer hunting. Yeah, I know people who are worried

1:27:49.880 --> 1:27:55.400
<v Speaker 1>about uh people coming across. I know those people in

1:27:55.479 --> 1:27:58.120
<v Speaker 1>that danger and worried about the danger of wildlife. It's

1:27:58.120 --> 1:27:59.960
<v Speaker 1>just a big It's just a big it's a it's

1:28:00.000 --> 1:28:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a massive issue. But people right in acting as though

1:28:02.920 --> 1:28:05.080
<v Speaker 1>like there's like this sort of debatable answer. But I

1:28:05.120 --> 1:28:08.559
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's like not debatable. It would be they

1:28:08.600 --> 1:28:13.360
<v Speaker 1>would have implications for wildlife doggie doors or something to

1:28:14.280 --> 1:28:16.840
<v Speaker 1>That's what I keep wondering about. Man, I haven't heard

1:28:16.840 --> 1:28:20.160
<v Speaker 1>a guy. I even heard a guy making the case. Yeah,

1:28:20.240 --> 1:28:25.439
<v Speaker 1>a special code that animals doggie door for desert mule here,

1:28:25.479 --> 1:28:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and yeah code doggie door a little thing. I've even

1:28:29.400 --> 1:28:35.320
<v Speaker 1>heard people talk about the implications for lowifying birds and insects.

1:28:35.840 --> 1:28:38.519
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, do guys. I'm talking about our hardcore quail

1:28:38.560 --> 1:28:41.080
<v Speaker 1>hunters who hunt like right down by the border. And

1:28:41.160 --> 1:28:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I can't imagine quail. I couldn't figure it out.

1:28:45.640 --> 1:28:48.600
<v Speaker 1>But they don't tend to fly super high, so it

1:28:48.680 --> 1:28:51.120
<v Speaker 1>might be problematic. I don't know how are we gonna

1:28:51.120 --> 1:28:53.280
<v Speaker 1>pick someone who play see through the bullshit? I gotta

1:28:53.320 --> 1:28:56.280
<v Speaker 1>figure it out, do it. I'll combine it with our

1:28:56.360 --> 1:29:00.320
<v Speaker 1>other thing that we're gonna do you like that. I

1:29:00.400 --> 1:29:02.519
<v Speaker 1>love it, and I'm just gonna go for the upper

1:29:02.640 --> 1:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>end of yeah. Alright, So a couple of things we're

1:29:07.720 --> 1:29:11.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna do tonight. Well, I'm just gonna bring anybody down first, Okay,

1:29:11.160 --> 1:29:17.840

1:32:30.040 --> 1:32:34.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you. Um, who's telling them? Sam? April. I'm

1:32:34.720 --> 1:32:38.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell a story. April's gonna tell a story. I'm

1:32:38.720 --> 1:32:41.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell a story. Sam's gonna tell a story. It's

1:32:41.080 --> 1:32:44.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell a story. One of them is true. You

1:32:44.640 --> 1:32:47.400
<v Speaker 1>just need to identify the true one. Let's start with

1:32:47.400 --> 1:32:52.400
<v Speaker 1>your honest Okay. Um, everybody knows that you can take

1:32:53.120 --> 1:32:56.040
<v Speaker 1>goats and put them in a pen and goats, yes,

1:32:56.200 --> 1:32:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and forced them to eat knap weed and other types

1:32:58.840 --> 1:33:02.360
<v Speaker 1>of weeds, and then you can let them. They'll they'll

1:33:02.520 --> 1:33:04.360
<v Speaker 1>sort of become accustomed to it, and and that will become

1:33:04.400 --> 1:33:06.479
<v Speaker 1>their diet. When you coutmeme loose out in the wild,

1:33:06.600 --> 1:33:08.599
<v Speaker 1>they'll eat the weeds and they don't eat the native

1:33:08.720 --> 1:33:10.400
<v Speaker 1>And that's the way that we here in the States

1:33:10.400 --> 1:33:13.240
<v Speaker 1>we get rid of weeds out on you know, wide

1:33:13.280 --> 1:33:19.760
<v Speaker 1>open pastures in the forest. It is well, it gets better.

1:33:20.800 --> 1:33:24.960
<v Speaker 1>So there's a problem here in Washington where there's a

1:33:25.000 --> 1:33:29.080
<v Speaker 1>pod of orca's. You may have heard of the Southern pod,

1:33:29.200 --> 1:33:33.760
<v Speaker 1>southern resident pod that only eat chinook sal salmon, right,

1:33:34.920 --> 1:33:41.760
<v Speaker 1>have you heard about this? Oh? Well, you people, just

1:33:43.000 --> 1:33:45.080
<v Speaker 1>you guys are gonna be you guys are gonna be

1:33:45.080 --> 1:33:47.200
<v Speaker 1>allowed to help later. We're gonna let you help later,

1:33:47.200 --> 1:33:49.320
<v Speaker 1>but let us get through the stories before you start.

1:33:49.880 --> 1:33:55.120
<v Speaker 1>You all, you all. I wouldn't trust them quite yet

1:33:55.120 --> 1:34:01.480
<v Speaker 1>because they have no idea. Yes everything hunters and huntresses,

1:34:01.800 --> 1:34:09.599
<v Speaker 1>thank you hunters huntresses. So so even you irrational ones

1:34:09.640 --> 1:34:15.000
<v Speaker 1>out there. Um, okay, So there's uh state of Washington

1:34:15.160 --> 1:34:16.840
<v Speaker 1>that they got a problem with these orcas because there's

1:34:16.880 --> 1:34:19.040
<v Speaker 1>not enough salmon for them to eat, so they're getting

1:34:19.080 --> 1:34:23.760
<v Speaker 1>skinny and they they're they're not doing well. So, um,

1:34:23.840 --> 1:34:26.320
<v Speaker 1>there's another pot of orcas out that that go up

1:34:26.320 --> 1:34:30.040
<v Speaker 1>and down the coast that eat mammals like sea lions,

1:34:30.320 --> 1:34:32.960
<v Speaker 1>seals and whatnot. So what they're thing about doing is

1:34:33.360 --> 1:34:36.120
<v Speaker 1>making a net and capturing a few of these Southern

1:34:36.120 --> 1:34:40.439
<v Speaker 1>pod orcas and actually taking seals that they've caught and

1:34:40.880 --> 1:34:43.400
<v Speaker 1>like cutting off a fin or a chunk of the

1:34:43.439 --> 1:34:46.640
<v Speaker 1>tail and putting it in the net with these orcas

1:34:46.760 --> 1:34:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to sort of start getting the orcas to feed on

1:34:49.800 --> 1:34:53.960
<v Speaker 1>these um the seals to then turn them into predators

1:34:53.960 --> 1:34:56.599
<v Speaker 1>that work off the seals and not be just you know,

1:34:56.840 --> 1:35:01.160
<v Speaker 1>so uh um so word I'm looking for. We're relying

1:35:01.280 --> 1:35:06.920
<v Speaker 1>on the salmon. Okay, they're just looking into that. Okay,

1:35:06.960 --> 1:35:13.559
<v Speaker 1>that's fine. Now you're familiar with the state of Wyoming. Okay,

1:35:13.600 --> 1:35:18.120
<v Speaker 1>there's a big reservoir called Flaming Gorge and whelming a

1:35:18.240 --> 1:35:23.360
<v Speaker 1>dude is they're fishing, and he cuts his thumb off

1:35:24.160 --> 1:35:30.960
<v Speaker 1>on his boat prop in July, Okay, that winner. A

1:35:31.080 --> 1:35:35.639
<v Speaker 1>feller is fishing through the ice and catches a lake trout,

1:35:37.320 --> 1:35:41.679
<v Speaker 1>opens it's got up and finds a thumb in its gut.

1:35:44.040 --> 1:35:48.240
<v Speaker 1>They connect the feller that lost his thumb with the

1:35:48.240 --> 1:35:51.120
<v Speaker 1>feller that found the thumb. The guy comes and has

1:35:51.160 --> 1:35:53.880
<v Speaker 1>a look and he says, I think that's my thumb.

1:35:56.720 --> 1:36:00.719
<v Speaker 1>And he now keeps the thumb in a are formalde

1:36:00.760 --> 1:36:11.920
<v Speaker 1>hyde on his mantelpiece. Care, Sam, So are you familiar

1:36:11.960 --> 1:36:17.439
<v Speaker 1>with Catalina Island off of southern California. So for a

1:36:17.600 --> 1:36:25.679
<v Speaker 1>very long time. They've had problems with feral goats eating. Yes, big,

1:36:25.680 --> 1:36:27.560
<v Speaker 1>big problems. They can't get rid of them. It's a

1:36:27.560 --> 1:36:31.760
<v Speaker 1>big island, very rugged terrain. They've tried all sorts of

1:36:31.920 --> 1:36:36.200
<v Speaker 1>different solutions for getting rid of them. Back in the seventies,

1:36:36.360 --> 1:36:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the US Fish and Wildlife Service proposed planting coyotes on

1:36:40.880 --> 1:36:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the island, which would naturally kind of take care of

1:36:45.320 --> 1:36:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the goats. But obviously they're worried about creating a new

1:36:49.160 --> 1:36:52.960
<v Speaker 1>invasive species. So what they proposed to do was plant

1:36:53.000 --> 1:36:58.920
<v Speaker 1>a subcutaneous cyanide pill inside the coyotes digestive tract that

1:36:58.960 --> 1:37:01.840
<v Speaker 1>would break down over the years, so after they've done

1:37:01.840 --> 1:37:15.000
<v Speaker 1>their jobs, they would expire with cyanide. No, yeah, because

1:37:15.000 --> 1:37:17.120
<v Speaker 1>somebody else could then eat them and then they die.

1:37:17.120 --> 1:37:20.080
<v Speaker 1>And you may be unfamiliar with the goofy stuff wild

1:37:20.160 --> 1:37:23.400
<v Speaker 1>game managers have done in this country. Talking about the seventies,

1:37:24.360 --> 1:37:27.080
<v Speaker 1>that's when animals were harmed in the making of movies.

1:37:31.000 --> 1:37:34.080
<v Speaker 1>That's when they were capturing its thumb back from the

1:37:34.120 --> 1:37:38.600
<v Speaker 1>belly of a lake trout or the orchid project that

1:37:38.640 --> 1:37:41.839
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna start feeding them new um cut up seals

1:37:41.920 --> 1:37:44.760
<v Speaker 1>to get them to turn them into better predators or

1:37:45.080 --> 1:37:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the cyanide pill filled coyotes. I'm you got it here,

1:37:58.360 --> 1:38:06.000
<v Speaker 1>It's okay. Here's the thing they are. Someone in Australia

1:38:06.080 --> 1:38:09.599
<v Speaker 1>is looking at how to do a time capsule death dingo,

1:38:11.520 --> 1:38:13.080
<v Speaker 1>that's where we got it from. That's where we got

1:38:13.080 --> 1:38:17.280
<v Speaker 1>it from. It won't happen. I guess Australia's bigger than

1:38:20.240 --> 1:38:28.280
<v Speaker 1>what do you can do with those? You win a

1:38:28.360 --> 1:38:33.800
<v Speaker 1>prize a really nice price. That's a paraminoculars that have

1:38:33.920 --> 1:38:46.360
<v Speaker 1>a laser range finder built into him. Oh oh did you?

1:38:46.920 --> 1:38:48.519
<v Speaker 1>I was just gonna ask, are you sure you came

1:38:48.560 --> 1:38:53.040
<v Speaker 1>to the right show tonight? Up? My chicken thinking why

1:38:53.080 --> 1:38:58.639
<v Speaker 1>are they gonna stall singing? That's coming next? The Power.

1:38:58.760 --> 1:39:05.400
<v Speaker 1>We're like, don't cry for me, Argentina. Oh wonderful, thank

1:39:05.439 --> 1:39:06.880
<v Speaker 1>you about appreciate
