But that's popular these 18 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: days and people know what I'm saying. That's what I 19 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: was hoping. We could do it without it, But I 20 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: can do it anyways. I've been doing it for I 21 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: don't know ten years, but it's a way to um 22 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: get through uh small petty arguments that maybe at the 23 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: time don't seem smaller petty with your spouse or loved one, 24 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: to get through him efficiently and move on, which he 25 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: then realized that it was probably a petty argument, and um, 26 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: it's better just to have it behind you. But the 27 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: way you do it is if you find yourself in 28 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: this situation where you're arguing about how that's the example 29 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: would be how to load the dish washer, and you're 30 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: arguing about it, and someone realized this, man, it would 31 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: be a great time to execute the one to tend 32 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: um what would you call it, like device to get 33 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: through this argument to basically you just say, all right, 34 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: how important it is to you? And at that moment 35 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: both people throw out a number one to ten, one 36 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: being I don't get ship at all, but I load 37 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: the dishwaher like that I think about it. I really 38 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: don't care. Yeah, ten being like this is so important 39 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: to me that if we don't load the dishwasher right, 40 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be up tonight in three o'clock in the 41 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: morning thinking about it. And so everybody throws a number 42 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: out and whoever has the higher number, you just go, Okay, 43 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: it's obviously more important to you than it is to me. 44 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: Let's do it your way and you move on. I 45 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: found that it works because I've once I asked myself 46 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: the question realized I was arguing about twos and threes. 47 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: And I also had to work to my advantage where 48 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: I was adamant about something and my wife threw a 49 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: two or three or whatever, and I was like, well, 50 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: you know what, for me, it's like a nine, and 51 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: I won and she backed out and she's never brought 52 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: it up again. But you have to be fair. You 53 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: can't always be throwing out eights and nines. Well, this 54 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: dude that rolled in, he shot the biggest meal deer 55 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: of his life with his little boy. Okay, with his 56 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: little boy, and he's like, yeah, I'm putting it right 57 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: in the living room with my other ones. And she's like, uh, okay, 58 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: he already had some up and he's gonna add it. 59 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: There's a whole long story about what's there not there 60 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: and all that, but just the gist of it is 61 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: he wants it there. She's like, uh um. So they 62 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: do the trick that they that you taught them, and 63 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: she throws an eleven. But then he's like, hey, so 64 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: and so he's throwing eleven back. So at that point 65 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: you're just in a regular fight. Yeah, I just know. Yeah, 66 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: that's gloves off. Obviously, just go back to like sleeping 67 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: on the couch and you can combine this with your 68 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: hand holding trick.

So I don't get 156 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: it Like That's that's where this guy's letter becomes really funny, 157 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: because another main gripe of his is that he doesn't 158 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: feel that non residents should be able to apply for 159 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: He's mad that we talk about and have friends who 160 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: and that we apply for nonresident big game tax, especially 161 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: for like limited draw stuff. He thinks that this is 162 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: bad because a lot of people can't afford that stuff 163 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: and you apparently he feels it only a taxpayer, like 164 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: you should have to pay taxes in a state, two 165 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: hunting the state if it's for limited draw stuff. But 166 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: again he's talking about like the working man. But again 167 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: you're buying too many airport beers. I always feel them 168 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: with people. It's like if you honestly can't afford if 169 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: you're alive in America today and have a vehicle in 170 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: the house, I could come in and analyze your budget 171 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: and find the money for you to do an out 172 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: of state tag. I have often said, like myself personally, 173 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that I write off as unaffordable, 174 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: but if I looked at my yearly beer budget, the 175 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: money is more than likely right there. You know, you're 176 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: honest could drink it for a year. I was conversing 177 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: with his wife about this, Well, I haven't yet, how 178 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 1: do you? I was, actually, this is yeah, I'm in 179 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: the midst he haven't done it yet. That's right, Uh, 180 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: next year in can say that, But it's your intention 181 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: right now to take a year off of booze. It 182 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: is as I look to get back into it. He's 183 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: looking to get out of it, and his wife was 184 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: observing to me, um, just the observation of of not 185 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: having to buy all that beer, and she said, this 186 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: kid can do whatever. This guy like think about it 187 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: actually like impacts the bottom line. Yeah, well boxers and 188 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: I P A s are not cheap. So and then 189 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: he was also mad. Yeah, he talks about how I 190 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: have a d h D and I mean narcissist. UM 191 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,599 Speaker 1: guy wrote in something funny. He was saying that we 192 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: were talking about button box, like do button bucks ever 193 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: shed their buttons? And and a lot of people wrote 194 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: it in fact, like send pictures and stuff. This guy 195 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: tells this funny story where he him and his old 196 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: man killed the button buck once and it shed it's 197 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: buttons in their vehicle as they're handling it, so he 198 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: saves them. He hears us talk on the podcast about 199 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: whether button bucks ever shed the hardened piece, goes to 200 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: get his to take a photo of him, can't find him, 201 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: asked his wife, have you seen my two little things? 202 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: She says, I didn't what the hell those were? And 203 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: I threw him out. So he's bummed about that. UM 204 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: emails coming in lately about Janice not getting the respect 205 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: he deserves and not being properly appreciated. And someone wrote 206 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: in the best I can tell, this is a poem 207 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: about honest. Have you seen this? Does it say he's 208 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: not getting respect from no? I feel like I assume 209 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know, he feels the honest doesn't 210 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: get the appreciation he deserves. In fact, the guy that 211 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: wrote the big hate mail about me having a d 212 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: h D and stuffering from narcissism, he also said something 213 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 1: like you gotta have all those people around you to 214 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: save you from bears. So he's not again he's referring 215 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: to he's referring to be honest. Uh Now, I hold 216 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: the creation of Sam McGhee and the shooting of Dan 217 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: McGrew as sort of like epinnacle of American poetry. Me too, 218 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: Like there's no better poem ever been written. So with 219 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: that as the here here's I'll read a little bit. Oh, 220 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: it's long, more imperturbable than a stoic philosopher, more patient 221 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: than job as, brave as a lion, a sharp eyed 222 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: as a mountain eagle. Women at dorm, critters fear him 223 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: in action? How like an angel? Yeah? Like this in action? 224 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: How how oh in appreciation, In apprehension, how like a god? 225 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: He goes on. Another guy wrote in talking about how 226 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,599 Speaker 1: bad I feel lucky just to be sitting next to 227 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: But then another guy writes in about how bad you honest? 228 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: Is it math? Well, the poem didn't say anthing about maskills, 229 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: I mean math, how bad? Remember were talking about in 230 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: Ohio if you shoot a buck, and it's like how 231 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: Ohio rates the penalties for poaching, and that if you 232 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: shoot a trophy class animal, they want to make it 233 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: a lot worse for you than if you shot a 234 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: forkey and they have this formula. Do you still have 235 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: the formula on you? I'd be able to find it quickly. 236 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: You made it. You you use it. You made a 237 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: mistake in a term, in a term you used in 238 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: a man and a teacher, a calculus teacher wrote in 239 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: about it. You said, okay, so you take the gross score. 240 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: Here's the formula. You already have it. Yeah, I just 241 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: realized to have in front of me. You take the 242 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: gross Boone and Crockett's score of an animal, and just 243 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: real quick, remind people how you determine the like what 244 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: are the measurements when you when we talk about this 245 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: U there's a whole bunch of measurements, but it's basically 246 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: the lengths of both main beams depending on how many 247 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: places you can get it. There's mass measurements that go 248 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: around the main beams, and then the length of the 249 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: times as well as the inside spread. It wouldn't be mass. Yeah, yeah, 250 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: circumference measurements and in the length of all the times. 251 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: You had this all up, and there's a couple different 252 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: systems for doing this, right. Is there total overlap between 253 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: Boone and Crockett and Pope and Young or is there 254 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: a difference the scoring systems. I'm pretty sure it's total. 255 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: I think it's the same. Yeah, I think it's as 256 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: far as methodology of But then the sci is a 257 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: different is My brother is a proponent of. He wants 258 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: to establish a system which might be in use somewhere. 259 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: He thinks that there's only one measurement. It should only 260 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: be water displacement. I've heard that. I've got a friend 261 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: in Idaho is a really serious shed hunter, and he's 262 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: found the sheds off the same crazy Buck for like 263 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: the last five years straight, both sides. It's awesome. He's 264 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: just got a stack of them. But it wouldn't score 265 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: anything on either Sei or Boone and Crockett because it's 266 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: just they look like moose anglers that stick forward. It's 267 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: just so massive and palmated. But it's not long and 268 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: it's not wide. But he was telling me about the 269 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: water displacement and how it would do very well. Be like, 270 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: that's his view. His perspective is if it's big, it's 271 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: just big. Dip it in the water. How much water 272 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: does it displace? And there you see who's the biggest 273 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: that if he drew a giant club, you could potentially anyhow. 274 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: Uh So you score up the deer and then you 275 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: take one off the score. So let's say he's a 276 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: real whopper, and I think they only start at one. 277 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: So in that case, you acts a hundred, so you 278 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: square then times that by a buck sixty five and 279 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: you create the and that's what the finest. So we're 280 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: talking about this guy killed this big whopper white tail, 281 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: and the fine was twenty seven thousand dollars. You have 282 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: a thousand bucks for the add ons. Uh you increduckly, 283 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: I didn't even catch this. You described it as exponential, 284 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: that it grows exponentially. Apparently, Well so I used the 285 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: term exponential when something is being squared. It's not exponential. 286 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: That function is quadratic quad radical. So he had his 287 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: uh calculus kids make a calculator for us so we 288 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: could like type in any number and to do it. 289 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: And he said he also made a calculator that if 290 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: you use Janice's method, if you use the honest method 291 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: and got away from a quadratic system and went to 292 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: an exponential system, uh, a one buck would okay. He 293 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: he made an exponential system and and rated it so 294 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: that the one buck scores the same on the quadratic 295 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: and the exponential. And then he ran, what would happen 296 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: if you killed a real whopper, a two fifty inch 297 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: white tail, if it was exponential, Hi, you would have 298 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: a one point three million dollars five. With the quadratic system, 299 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: your two white tail would get you a thirty seven 300 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: thousand dollar fine. How much familiarity, uh, you guys have 301 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: with North Dakota? Got some kN from North Dakota. It's 302 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: about it. You don't hunt it? No hunted, damn close. 303 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm hunted looking over into it. I got Northern Pike 304 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: on bluegilld jigs over there one time that was pretty exciting, 305 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: just throwing out nothing but a jig head and popping 306 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: it back and I was catching like hammer handle. Uh. 307 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: There's a bill there right now in the North Dakota 308 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: Senate State Senate to make it that I'm approached the 309 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: wrong way right now in North Dakota, you a landowner 310 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: needs to actually post his land no trespassing. Like if 311 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: you're in North Dakota and you see private land that 312 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: isn't posted, you can go on it. And I guess 313 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: oftentimes there will be like large properties and someone might 314 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: post along the roads or whatever, but you can oftentimes 315 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: find um landowners who don't bother to post it, and 316 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: it's just understood that you can hunt it or in 317 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: people that try to post it don't do the thorough 318 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: enough job, I guess, and people find, you know, find 319 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: place where it didn't he wasn't a posted according to law, 320 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: and then therefore you're allowed to access it. And there's 321 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: a bill in the North Dakota Senate to change the 322 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: law so that becomes an automatically posted state, meaning the 323 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: landowner has no obligation like tell you you can't go 324 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: on it. Just understood if it's private, you can't go 325 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: on it without permission. I can see both sides of 326 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: that one. Uh um. Another interesting thing from a guy. 327 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: He was hunting in Oregon and got a bad hit 328 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: on a bowl. He said he took a longish, longish shot. 329 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: At what point does the shot become longish? I suppose 330 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: if you start question that would be very long if 331 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: you start questioning. I don't know if he felt those 332 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: longest in hindsight, or if he felt those longish when 333 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: he was going to pull layer back. He takes longest shot, 334 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: uses the wrong pin, it's high, squaring the shoulder, gets 335 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: a couple of inches of penetration. Uh. On a whim. 336 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: He goes on to an Oregon An Oregon hunter Facebook 337 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: page and describes his uh insert broadhead combo. He says, Hey, 338 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: if anyone hunting this year we're to encounter this, let 339 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 1: me know. Ten days later, guy sends him a photo 340 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: telling him he was six inches high of his broad 341 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: head and this bowl. This guy shot this bull twelve 342 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: miles due north of where he hit it in a 343 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: different unit. Wow, it crossed? Is it Grand Rond or no? Wrong? 344 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 1: It is ron ron ron across the Grand Round River 345 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: twelve miles away ten days later, scared it pretty bad, 346 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: or he's just all doing elk type stuff, or he's like, 347 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: I am out of here. Man on the upper end 348 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: of that's just that giant plateau be kind of easy walking, 349 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: but twelve miles in between the plateaus is pretty rugged. Yeah. 350 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: Up on top top by like the big the big 351 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: gorge there is amazing Yeah, like down uh Joseph Canyon 352 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: and all that stuff is un unbelievable good for more. 353 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: Lots of people rolled in. We're talking about can you 354 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: really slip on banana peels? Lots of people rolled in 355 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: about slipping on banana peels, first hand accounts of people 356 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: slipping on banana peals. One guy feels it's such a 357 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: problem that banana peles should be banned. He says, He's like, 358 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: if I'll say this, like if lawn dart still are illegal, 359 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: you should not be allowed to have banana peels. That's 360 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: really interesting because if you get an upgrade in uh, 361 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: your flying service of choice, typically the snack basket includes bananas, 362 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: So I mean, but lower class people are not permitted 363 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: to have bananas. They might be irresponsible with the bananas 364 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: are the most eaten fruit in the world. We were 365 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: doing kids trivia last night. Back in two thousand seventeen, 366 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: Dude Massachusetts, an angler Massachusetts catches a four hundred pound 367 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 1: blue fin tuna fifteen days after the season ends. It's 368 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: like a ten thollar fish. Decides to keep the fish, 369 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: but it's hard to like hide a four pound tuna. 370 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: The words spreads around the boat, Doc, But this fella 371 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: is running around with a tuna. At some point he 372 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: gets scared and he can't get it in his truck, 373 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: but he ties it to his truck and drags it 374 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 1: out into the woods. Okay, he gets a federal fine 375 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: of fifteen thousand dollars for killing this tuna. Then just 376 00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: now the in the in uh, you know, putting Alton 377 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: the wounds. His local municipality doubles around and hits him 378 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: for another thousand and fines for littering and disposing of 379 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: waste from a vehicle. They're like, and so you didn't 380 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: learn your lesson, we will now find you an additional 381 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: one dollars for charges related to you dragging a blue 382 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: fin tuna out into the woods. That is very interesting. 383 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: I think that's totally fine for I'm not criticizing I 384 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: think that fine should be higher considering the value of 385 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: those fish and that fishery and the waste that should 386 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: be k for a white tail. And here you have 387 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: like here you have like a fairly written species, like 388 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: a fairly depleted species. Yeah, and it wasn't if we 389 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: we've fold around that article about that bluefin the first 390 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: bluefin in the season for a million bucks. Over a 391 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: million bucks.

Yeah, but I 434 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: just wonder if there's something that made him be like, Okay, 435 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: screw kick the doors open and haul this thing on. 436 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: I'm keeping it because then and it's not his boat apparently, 437 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: because I'm sure they would have dinged his It could 438 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: have taken his damn boat. I don't know what. I 439 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: don't know if they did that to poach those bear cubs. Man, 440 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: they got their boat taken away, and I think the 441 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: truck they used to pull the boat. Yes, is that 442 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: state by state though, whether or not they can confiscate 443 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: gear for poaching, I don't know. I don't I don't 444 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: mean don't know, but yeah, that guy had to have 445 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: just been a mess. Then, like all that compounds by 446 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: the time you get back to the dock and you're like, oh, man, 447 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 1: I'll just let that damn fish go. Yeah, and then 448 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: to waste it. Yeah. Oh that's sacrilegious. Man, that's weird. 449 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: That's kind of the weird part of them. Who you know, 450 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: you have the ones had to hang out with the 451 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: guy like is at some point he even abandoned the 452 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: idea that he's just gonna stake it out and put 453 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: it in a bunch of freezers. Yeah, and that's why 454 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, make that jack that fine up even further. 455 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're if you're wrestling, he's like, he's 456 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: clearly wrestling with this idea and yet chooses to do 457 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: a series of worse and worse actions. It's like, you 458 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: had a lot of opportunities to right this wrong. I 459 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: get it. But we used to break all kinds of 460 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: rules and we were little. Yeah, I don't know if 461 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: he's little. I was gonna say, I doubt this is 462 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: a kid we're talking about. I don't think this is 463 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: like a sixteen year old yesterday fishing when the sheriff 464 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: pulled up.

Um uh, one last thing I want to 567 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: bring up, and we're gonna talk about what we're here 568 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: to talk about. We got couple of three things. Um. 569 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: This guy is talking about how he used to hunt 570 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: scrolls and his grandpa and his grandpa they hunt scrolls 571 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: with dogs, and when it in his grandpa kept a 572 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: kit with him which was a fire making kit and 573 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: a coffee can, a tin coffee can. So when the 574 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: squirrel would hole up in a hollow tree, Grandpa would 575 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: get a fire burned in his coffee can and then 576 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: set the coffee can in there to thereby smoke the 577 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,919 Speaker 1: squirrel out. And if I remember right, like, I feel 578 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: like when we were little kids, we would you know, 579 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: those smoke bombs, you get it? Fourth of July. I 580 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: feel like we do something similar with that, like sticks 581 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: in my head. But you're saying one time he's out 582 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: there with grandpa and Grandpa forgets his can, gets a fire, 583 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: ripping no can and uh starts himself with fortrest fire. Yeez, 584 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: did you get that squirst fire? Heard of it today? 585 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: I hunted the web today with old bench made and 586 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 1: chose the wrong answer when I was gonna just kick 587 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: out my coals or should I use the rest of 588 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: my water to douse my fire. It's like a choice 589 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: I had to make and benchmates hunt the web realistic game, 590 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: and Uh, I decided just to shuffle the coal out 591 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: because I was hunting in the Pacific Northwest and say, 592 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: nothing can fire here, And sure enough I walk away 593 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,240 Speaker 1: and next thing I know, game over, forest fire giant. 594 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: So I gotta go to clarify. He didn't Okay, he 595 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: didn't start a forest fire. He burnt the whole damn 596 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: tree down. But then the fire did spread, okay, on 597 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: the lines of Pacific Northwest and fires and bad decision making. 598 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: Our good buddy Jeff Lander all uh primitive outfitting his 599 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: buddies that are floating floating a moose river um for 600 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 1: years and years and years. One of them dies, they 601 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,479 Speaker 1: bury his ashes underneath this prominent tree on the bank 602 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: of the river. Um. One of these years, they'd invite 603 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: Jeff to come down with them um and they they 604 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: this tree is prominent because they've called in a bunch 605 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: of moose in this same spot and it's nice and 606 00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: you know, breaks all that BC drizzle and uh, they're 607 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: kind of having a peaceful moment. They're and they're they're 608 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: calling moose and Jeff has everybody's sandwiches and tinfoil and 609 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: he starts a little fire there at the base of 610 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: the tree. Swiches heat the sandwiches, they eat their lunch, 611 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: move on down the river. Somebody makes the comment of like, oh, 612 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: you're sure that fires out. The next day, Jeff has 613 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: burned down the sacred tree, so to speak, with the 614 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: ashes with the ashes under it, because he decided to 615 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: shuffle the coals instead of because he's he's in a 616 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: really wet place and it's just nothing matters, doesn't doesn't 617 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: burn by that. Yeah, that's pretty sad. Well, it kind 618 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: of gives that sacred spot even better. Story does one more? 619 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:58,479 Speaker 1: One more quickie? Now, one more quickie? No, um seth 620 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: if you said anything yet?

Oh yeah, uh did you tell people 622 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 1: about how about your ill fated one hunt of a lifetime? Oh? Um? 623 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,320 Speaker 1: Drew a bison tag in Montana this year for Gardner 624 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: and talk about that. How did you feel about three 625 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 1: areas and three areas West Yellowstone there's Gardener and then 626 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: there's the absorka back country unit. It's like West Entrance, 627 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: North Entrance and then the back country unit. And um, 628 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: were you excited to draw that? Tex? Super excited. I 629 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: was excited. Everyone was excited. Gave them all kinds federal bullets. 630 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: Was gonna um the first year I put in for 631 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: it and drew it. UM had big plans. We talk 632 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: about what needs to happen. So the bison spend most 633 00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: of their life in Yellowstone part and in the wintertime, 634 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: when the weather gets real nasty, they migrate out of 635 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: the park to find better grass. Um. You know, there's 636 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: they migrate out because there's some some animals stay in 637 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 1: the park. This is from what I gather from talking 638 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: with game wardens and stuff. They stay in the park. 639 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: Some animals stay in the park. Um, but there's too 640 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: much pressure for you know, the park to handle that 641 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: many bikes and over the winter, so they move back. 642 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 1: And they're they're predisposed of roman and UM. So they 643 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,240 Speaker 1: usually push out of the park. You know, the season 644 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: closes February. By that time, they're usually you know, having 645 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,760 Speaker 1: all sorts of trouble with them and gardener and um 646 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: getting into people's backyards and destroying stuff. Well, this year, 647 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 1: the weather or it was pretty mild, not much snow 648 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: down there, and they didn't decided to leave the park. Yeah, 649 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: we're up in that neck of the woods yesterday and 650 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: it was like no snow. Yeah, so my bison tag 651 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: that I don't know if I say it's once in 652 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,359 Speaker 1: a lifetime tag because you definitely draw it again. Yeah, 653 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: but that means different things. There's like once in a lifetime, 654 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 1: like the expression yeah, and then there are once in 655 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: a life once. So once in a lifetime Montana for 656 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: this tag would be like an expression right, meaning like 657 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: it's not it's not like an Idaho moose tag. Right, 658 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: that's once literally in a lifetime. If you are a 659 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: successful yes, really yeah that before that's right, draw the tag. 660 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: Got tags your opportunity. If you fill the tag, that 661 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: is your one star. What's the weight period? Apologies to 662 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: the guy who thinks you should only be able to 663 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: hunt in the state where you live, Like you can't, 664 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: let go to your own les and then go out 665 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: do you a little hunt with your uncle? That's like 666 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: no way, Um how many years if you don't, I 667 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,839 Speaker 1: want to say, it's seven so long? Wait so they 668 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,399 Speaker 1: never Yeah. When I talked to a game warden, no 669 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: state now he used the term state hunters because there 670 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 1: are tribal hunters, like a lot of the tribes exercise 671 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: treaty rights or exercise right no, come and shoot some. 672 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 1: I went down there one time, uh and watched the 673 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:34,240 Speaker 1: nez purse shoot five of them. I think our buddy 674 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 1: ed Garcia, I think it was just last fall, last winter, 675 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: he was down there. He's got a cabin somewhere down there, 676 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: was driving through and saw a bunch of hunters getting 677 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: after it, and there was so many and they were 678 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,240 Speaker 1: having like problems like getting all the meat out and everything, 679 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: and there's gut piles everywhere. And he went down there 680 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: and he harvested ribs and hearts and livers, all kinds 681 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: of stuff so much he's like, oh, you want a heart, 682 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,240 Speaker 1: buffalo heart on the way way home and he stopped 683 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 1: buying dropping. I've heard of people doing that down there 684 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 1: in the gut piles. Well, there's none of that this year. Yeah, 685 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: not one tag holder, not one state tagle. I guess 686 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,439 Speaker 1: a handful of tribal hunters got some early. Not one 687 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: state tag holder. Yeah, it's just not the year. He 688 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 1: said numbers were low in the park. Yeah, because they'll fluctuate, 689 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 1: you know, like three thousand seven numbers were low in 690 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: the park, which means the pressure for grazing isn't there. 691 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: So did you gotta wait seven years now to try again? 692 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not sure I used to put 693 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: in for it, then I quit putting in for it 694 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 1: just because it just gets a little crazy. But I 695 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna start again. I'm not gonna let that 696 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 1: scare me off. No, I'm gonna put in for it again. 697 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: But the snow dance wasn't the year for it. Nonresident 698 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,959 Speaker 1: where to snag that tag out for underneath? You don't 699 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,839 Speaker 1: tell that guy and that don't tell the guy who's 700 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,919 Speaker 1: all drunk at the sea tag bar on the Wyoming's 701 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: Like I blew all my money on nine dollar beers, bro, 702 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: I can't do that hunt Wyoming side that opportunity to 703 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 1: pursue that buffalo for a bull. I think it is 704 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: like over three grand now, Yeah, they tacked their prices 705 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: up last year. Oh the tag if you draw the 706 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 1: tag is three grand. Yeah. As a non resident, now 707 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: you're resident price. Uh. There's typically a pretty vast discrepancy 708 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 1: between your resident and nonresident prices. When anybody like to 709 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 1: venture a guess as to why, because they don't pay 710 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: taxes in the state. Because states raise a held lot 711 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 1: of money. Uh, and they fund a large portion of 712 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: their fishing game operations through the sale of non resident 713 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 1: grossly inflated price to tags maybe, and all those resident folks, 714 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,920 Speaker 1: of which all of a sort of beneficiary of our 715 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:09,800 Speaker 1: tag bryces seldom get raised. Yeah. Yeah, so it's a subsidy. Yeah, 716 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 1: you hunt, you hunt deer for thirty bucks, and another 717 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: guy hunts deer for six hundred bucks, and therein you 718 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: can fund a lot of wildlife work. Yes, yeah, I 719 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: do feel for this guy, though in the fact that 720 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 1: I have definitely been the guy doing a lot of 721 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 1: bitching about all the nonresident folks out of state license 722 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: plates and stuff. And oh yeah, I feel it. I 723 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 1: feel it. I would, I would, you know what. Sure, 724 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: Montana f w P raised something on the order of 725 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,320 Speaker 1: twenty one million dollars last year on nonresident license fees. 726 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,880 Speaker 1: It was like the second highest in the country, I believe. 727 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 1: You know what happens in the trapping world. There's like 728 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:53,360 Speaker 1: a reciprocity thing in the trapping world where, for instance, um, 729 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 1: if a lot of states because because fur bears are 730 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: more like a commodity, management like a commodity, a lot 731 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 1: of states will prohibit nonresident fur trappers from trapping in 732 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 1: their state. And there's a reciprocity system where, um, if 733 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 1: you live in a no go state. If you live 734 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 1: in a if you're if you're like a trapper from 735 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: a state where your state doesn't allow non residents to 736 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:23,279 Speaker 1: trap beaver, other states will reciprocate and not allow you. So, 737 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: for instance, in Montana, you cannot trap fur bears. No, 738 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 1: a nonresident cannot trap fur bears in Montana. So a 739 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: Montana person is not allowed to go over into Wyoming, Idaho, 740 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: wherever and trap someone from another state. Yeah, your state 741 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,879 Speaker 1: won't let our people come. We're not gonna let your 742 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: people come. You get into a little tip for tat. 743 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 1: A guy wrote in like how come how come people 744 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: don't talk like why is Washington not a popular hunting 745 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: state for non residents? Like one of the things that 746 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,360 Speaker 1: we start. Yeah, there's a bunch of reasons. Um, they're 747 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 1: extremely conservative of tag allocation. Uh, it's it's expensive just 748 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 1: to apply and a turn of points in Washington and 749 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 1: now it's three thirty dollars just for the application fee 750 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 1: for each one. So for like my moose coach sheep, 751 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: I guys just don't do anymore because be a thousand 752 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 1: bucks just down the drain, nonrefundable, nonrefundable. So some ste 753 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty dollar application fee. Some states will really 754 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: stick it to you, like to even get in is 755 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 1: gonna cost you. Alaska's smart, and I should say you're smart. 756 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: Their strategy is to sucker you in the applications. Not bad. 757 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: We got to buy a base license and you get 758 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: paid his fees and then you draw and you get 759 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: all excited and a zap you hard on the tag. 760 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 1: But then you get people who draw and can't afford 761 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: the tag, and it probably screws you up on allocations 762 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. So some states want to be like 763 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 1: is he good for it or not? Sending all your money, 764 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 1: demonstrate that you're good for it, so that when we 765 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: give you the thing, we get our money and it 766 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 1: doesn't like you can wait and then later decide to 767 00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: buy it or not buy it, and then we have 768 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:04,440 Speaker 1: a better sense of who's like ready to roll. Yeah, Wyoming. Um, 769 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,720 Speaker 1: you know mountain goat is a species and the bison 770 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 1: as well, where you can't accrue points for those, um, 771 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 1: But that's all the cash up front, just like if 772 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 1: you were to put in for any of the other 773 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 1: species and not and go for like the thin chance 774 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,320 Speaker 1: that you might get drawn, um without the points you 775 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 1: throw all your all your cash up front. But yeah, 776 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,440 Speaker 1: that's two thousand bucks for a goat. If you're putting 777 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,439 Speaker 1: in for a by his sending a bowl bison too, 778 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,880 Speaker 1: you're at like five grand in Wyoming. Yeah, what did 779 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 1: your take cost you? Bucks? It's one thousand, two undred 780 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 1: fifty for non rays. Once you a good pivot I do, 781 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,880 Speaker 1: speaking Wyoming, you like that? That's what we learned to 782 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 1: call it. We just call it a segue of it. 783 00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,240 Speaker 1: Someone's saying it's like a pivot Larry Keene, Larry Keene 784 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 1: pivots uh Larry Bird for that matter.

Only had one named 821 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,359 Speaker 1: after my mother, but if I had more, I wanted 822 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 1: to name one zena um. But yeah, it has to 823 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 1: do with the guest host bond, like meaning like it's 824 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:42,440 Speaker 1: you host someone. Like let's say, uh, let's say my 825 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 1: father hosted your father in his home, you would owe 826 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 1: me still, like it's that strong the guest host bond 827 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 1: is that strong? What culture does that drive from? I 828 00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 1: learned it when we were reading the Ilian in the Odyssey, 829 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 1: and that because it was Troy you had to do 830 00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 1: with like you remember how the dude that you remember 831 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 1: how Killes kills Hector. Achilles kills Hector and drags his 832 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 1: body all over to damn place and Hector's dad pri 833 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:23,279 Speaker 1: Um maybe remember Hector's dad. Hector's dad comes to beg 834 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 1: Achilles let me have my boy's body back and stopped 835 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 1: disgracing his body. And it's like all these other things 836 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,920 Speaker 1: that went on with how he guilted him into it, 837 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,800 Speaker 1: but part of it had to do with with achilles father. 838 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,800 Speaker 1: Um was once the guest of like pri ums father, 839 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,280 Speaker 1: and so he was somehow through this. Some some people 840 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,280 Speaker 1: like there's an explanation that because of that, he's like, Okay, 841 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,919 Speaker 1: I'll give you your boy's body back, and I'll stop 842 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,919 Speaker 1: dragging it behind my chariot and making a total mess 843 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:58,839 Speaker 1: out of it. Zena uh whelming in the in the 844 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,840 Speaker 1: thing that one dacent speak about. It's there's a Supreme 845 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: Court case there. I want to explain to people, the 846 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 1: damn Supreme Court. The Supreme Court Court case. Well, now 847 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,080 Speaker 1: you got me all nervous about about opening my mouth 848 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,360 Speaker 1: about it, and you know which I've definitely felt throughout 849 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:16,920 Speaker 1: the reporting on this. Do you want to know how 850 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 1: he You want to know the metaphor he used. I 851 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,720 Speaker 1: used it the other night. He said it's a deep 852 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 1: cold river and you will get in over your waiters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 853 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 1: it certainly felt that way. But it's also been a 854 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 1: it's been a fascinating experience diving deep into this. But 855 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,759 Speaker 1: what we're talking about is the Supreme Court case horrariv. E. Wyoming, 856 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,840 Speaker 1: which was heard by the United States Supreme Court on 857 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 1: January eight. And they haven't decided yet. No, they haven't 858 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,279 Speaker 1: decided yet. Most folks anticipate a ruling coming out this 859 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,200 Speaker 1: summer or this fall. But you don't really know what 860 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,399 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. This isn't funny how it takes along. Yeah, 861 00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,279 Speaker 1: it takes up a lot of research issues, I'm guessing. Yeah. 862 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,479 Speaker 1: And the alleged crime here happened, uh five years ago? 863 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,400 Speaker 1: Lay it out? Laid out all right? What happened? Sam's 864 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:09,319 Speaker 1: now getting he's up to his n You ordered some 865 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,920 Speaker 1: hate mail to me yesterday about this, So now I'm 866 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 1: all nervous because Sam, right, Sam wrights. Well, let's clarify. 867 00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 1: Sam writes an article about this, which can be found 868 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 1: at the mediator dot com. What's the article called. It's 869 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,520 Speaker 1: called her Air of Yoming inside the elk hunting case 870 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,719 Speaker 1: before the Supreme Court. Uh. And he's already gotten a 871 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:28,879 Speaker 1: hate mail, ye yep. But you know, I mean, it's 872 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 1: more people airing their biases towards us um than than 873 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 1: hate per se. Yeah, this was like, to be fair 874 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,239 Speaker 1: to the one I'm talking about, it wasn't hate mail. 875 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 1: It was like being like, hey, man, here's some stuff 876 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 1: that you might not know. I learned. I learned a 877 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 1: couple of things I shouldn't. That was a bad you 878 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:48,319 Speaker 1: know what? Me saying that it was a shitty thing 879 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:49,880 Speaker 1: to say because it was not hate mail. It was 880 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,080 Speaker 1: like being like, hey, I think you missed. You're off 881 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,160 Speaker 1: the mark. He was a total dick about it, but 882 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,919 Speaker 1: he also he was, he was, he was, He wasn't. No. 883 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 1: He started by saying he was sorely disappointed, which is 884 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,879 Speaker 1: I feel like, I don't know, I feel like that's 885 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 1: my mom, Like, well, I'm not I'm not mad, I'm 886 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:13,959 Speaker 1: just disappointed. It's amazing that people something so are really 887 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,439 Speaker 1: disappointed really easily. We got a piece of hate mail 888 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,359 Speaker 1: one time because because just out to half, we use 889 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,880 Speaker 1: the term like to instead of using something to be 890 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,960 Speaker 1: like you're running it, you're like running whatever tripod and 891 00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 1: a guy took the time to write about how bad 892 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,440 Speaker 1: that is, so that people are like ready to be 893 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,240 Speaker 1: not happy. Yeah, they're they're, they're, they're they're they're trying 894 00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 1: to find any small flaw within it. And you know, 895 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,359 Speaker 1: I worked on this for three weeks, and I'm sure 896 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,799 Speaker 1: there are are elements missing, but I you know, obviously, 897 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,279 Speaker 1: my my goal as a journalist here was to put 898 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 1: forward the most complete, inaccurate version I could, And I 899 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,719 Speaker 1: tried to write something that would walk the line of 900 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,320 Speaker 1: like explaining this without you know, pissing off people based 901 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,759 Speaker 1: on their preconceived notions of it. So I tried to 902 00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 1: play fair. It's it's it's highly racially charged. So let's 903 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,840 Speaker 1: let's back up a little bit and talk about what happened. 904 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,440 Speaker 1: So there's this guy, Cleaven Herrera, who used to be 905 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 1: a game warden for the Crow Tribe of southeastern Montana 906 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,840 Speaker 1: UM and with two fronts, with a couple of friends, Uh, 907 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 1: they followed a herd of elk off of the Crow 908 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 1: reservation across the state line into Wyoming the Big Horn 909 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 1: National Forest, where they killed three elk that they packed out. Uh. 910 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 1: The game warden who ultimately found who ultimately tracked down 911 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,440 Speaker 1: this case and um brought them to to justice, if 912 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 1: you will, found a fourth bowl that was untouched. But 913 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,799 Speaker 1: they all claimed that that was that must have been 914 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 1: from something else, or that he's lying or something like that. UM, 915 00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 1: and how how did the Is it worth getting into 916 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 1: how the warden tracked down. I think it is worth 917 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 1: getting into, uh because I found that to be I 918 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,840 Speaker 1: found that to be a fascinating element of this um. 919 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 1: So this this game, this warden who testified before the 920 00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,920 Speaker 1: before the court in Wyoming, UM, and I read through 921 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,640 Speaker 1: all of that. So he was finding a lot of 922 00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:14,719 Speaker 1: poaching cases in this area. He referenced a friend of 923 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,640 Speaker 1: his who's a shed hunter spending a bunch of time 924 00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 1: up there, and this guy alone, who's not law enforcement, 925 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 1: reported twelve elk poaching cases in this area that year. Partly, 926 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 1: Buscher like like, there's one whereas a big bull um 927 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 1: with missing just its head and its backstraps. Um, And yeah, 928 00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,920 Speaker 1: I've got a I've got a quote, um it sounds 929 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,279 Speaker 1: like good hunt zone. Yeah yeah, And he's like, yeah, 930 00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:48,800 Speaker 1: he's getting on. Then this warden said, I was getting 931 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,080 Speaker 1: pretty desperate. I mean, you know, the public and trust 932 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,799 Speaker 1: of game warden to enforce the game laws. The way 933 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,920 Speaker 1: the vehicles were coming going, it was obvious to me 934 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 1: there was a possibility it was members of the Crow 935 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 1: tribe who response from some of this um. But the 936 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,480 Speaker 1: way he actually the way he actually got to these 937 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,359 Speaker 1: particular guys, and it sounds like they're you know, there's 938 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,440 Speaker 1: probably different groups of people in the Crow tribe is 939 00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 1: large with a large reservation. But the way you got 940 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:18,480 Speaker 1: to these particular people, and Herrera in particular, was Herrera 941 00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:24,600 Speaker 1: sent an email to Wyoming Fishing Game asking to discuss 942 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 1: poaching incidents in this very area, and that was forwarded 943 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 1: onto this game warden, Dustin Sharma, who then reached back 944 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,040 Speaker 1: out to Herrera and said, heck, yeah, I love to 945 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,959 Speaker 1: talk about that. We're having We're getting her asses kicked 946 00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:47,920 Speaker 1: out there, basically, So they met up UH on a 947 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 1: back road near the state line in this area and 948 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,400 Speaker 1: and talked about what what their two departments could do 949 00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:01,360 Speaker 1: to collaborate UH and to try to say all this problem. 950 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,480 Speaker 1: But he walked away with kind of a fishy feeling 951 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 1: about that meeting. So that was he, he Herrera, who 952 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,719 Speaker 1: whose name carries the Supreme Court case. Yes, he reached out. 953 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 1: I didn't realize this even like alright, I realized, I 954 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,800 Speaker 1: didn't realize the implication of it. Yeah, he initiated contact, 955 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,000 Speaker 1: he did. I could I could pull up that email 956 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,120 Speaker 1: if you if you wanted to see it and even 957 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,200 Speaker 1: reading it and talking with you about I missed that fact. Yeah, 958 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,520 Speaker 1: he sent that email. I knew there's a conversation, but 959 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't know that that's how it was initiated. Yeah, 960 00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,920 Speaker 1: and he voluntarily went to meet up with Dustin Sharma 961 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 1: at the state line. They went up and looked at 962 00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 1: the carcass of a spike bowl that had been poached 963 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 1: in that area, but Shorma walked away feeling uncomfortable with 964 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:48,640 Speaker 1: the meeting. Um. Here's here's another quote from his testimony. 965 00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,400 Speaker 1: He was interested in knowing who I suspected was responsible 966 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,000 Speaker 1: for these poaching incidents. He was curious as to the 967 00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,560 Speaker 1: capabilities of our forensic laboratory and Laramie. On the way home, 968 00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,800 Speaker 1: I was kind of, don't know, maybe excited that I'd 969 00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,960 Speaker 1: be able to solve some of these cases. But by 970 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 1: the same token, it bothered me some of the conversations 971 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,600 Speaker 1: that we had. I started thinking like I was maybe 972 00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 1: being taken advantage of I guess. Um. So he got 973 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:19,040 Speaker 1: home and googled Claven Herrera and found his Facebook, but 974 00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,760 Speaker 1: also found his postings on a brag board website called 975 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,920 Speaker 1: monster mule E's dot com is it fair to call 976 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,760 Speaker 1: that a bragboard. That's what a lot of other folks 977 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:32,640 Speaker 1: have called it. But I, yeah, you know, I haven't 978 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 1: really just dude swapping info man whatever. We no, no, no, 979 00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 1: that's part within those forms. A lot of times they'll 980 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 1: be sections where you swap info. But then there's also 981 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,040 Speaker 1: like a thread or an arizone where all it is 982 00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,600 Speaker 1: It's like, I wasn't trying to preference. That's just kind 983 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 1: of shorthand yeah, no, no, I got you know what 984 00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,080 Speaker 1: I mean. But yeah, I just would hate to take 985 00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,200 Speaker 1: like a thing like that where people are you know, 986 00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 1: sharing like legitimate infolture, like to look it's like like 987 00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,040 Speaker 1: to show pictures of I don't know, were we all 988 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:04,760 Speaker 1: like to do that? And I guess Instagram has become 989 00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:09,960 Speaker 1: a bragboard, brag board or forum website. But uh found 990 00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,520 Speaker 1: a post there that Herrera had made called Goodyear on 991 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:16,680 Speaker 1: the Crow Reservation, and there was photos of these three 992 00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:21,080 Speaker 1: elk in question, also a pronghorn and a mule deer 993 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 1: that other folks he knew had killed. Um but Sharma 994 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,760 Speaker 1: saw looked closely at the background of the photos and 995 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 1: felt like they looked like they were in Wyoming. He 996 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:37,960 Speaker 1: felt like he recognized the topography, the vegetation. UM. Obviously 997 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,560 Speaker 1: he knows this area very well UH and talked about 998 00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,280 Speaker 1: that at length in his testimony about how familiar he 999 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,360 Speaker 1: is with the landscape. UM. He said, just based on 1000 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,360 Speaker 1: the limited topography and vegetation I could see from the photographs, 1001 00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:52,840 Speaker 1: I kind of had a hunch where it was at. 1002 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:54,919 Speaker 1: But I wanted to confer with some people who knew 1003 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:56,920 Speaker 1: the area a lot better than I did. So we 1004 00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 1: talked to some folks. He talked to that guy who 1005 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:05,200 Speaker 1: reported all the all the poaching incidents UM. And then 1006 01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:10,000 Speaker 1: this is many months later after the snow had cleared 1007 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,280 Speaker 1: because they weren't able to get up into that into 1008 01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:16,880 Speaker 1: that area in May. So this UH, the that shooting 1009 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 1: and the conversation between Sharma and Herrara happened in January 1010 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:26,160 Speaker 1: and May Uh Shurma went in there with a wildlife 1011 01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:31,400 Speaker 1: investigator and print outs of these photos and they basically 1012 01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 1: walked to the kill sites and found all the carcasses. 1013 01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 1: He talked a lot about UM finding like the frozen 1014 01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,560 Speaker 1: ball of of like cud if you will, UM that 1015 01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 1: apparently doesn't doesn't get taken by by predators when they're 1016 01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,480 Speaker 1: when they scavenge interrupt you real quick. Go ahead, talk 1017 01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:56,720 Speaker 1: about that seth with your special buffalo tag that you 1018 01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:02,080 Speaker 1: didn't fill. Um. So this is fascinating and they send 1019 01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,280 Speaker 1: you all this information when draws tagging, one of the 1020 01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,120 Speaker 1: rules that they want you to follow is if you 1021 01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 1: kill one, you have to cut open the stomach. You 1022 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 1: cut open the stomach and spread the contents out, because 1023 01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 1: think about it, when mug has been hunting in the area. 1024 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,960 Speaker 1: Later other people go, you have this big bloated stomach, 1025 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,160 Speaker 1: I mean, grizzlies and self eventually eat it. But then 1026 01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:26,920 Speaker 1: you got like that. You know, it just winds up. 1027 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,320 Speaker 1: So they want you to cut it because when you 1028 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,200 Speaker 1: cut it and emptied out, it's like a really small thing. 1029 01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 1: I feel like it's aesthetics. There's no other explanation. Yeah, 1030 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna be aesthetics because everything else is gonna mop 1031 01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:40,800 Speaker 1: up all the soft tissue, ravens, whatever gets into it quick. Yeah, 1032 01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:44,840 Speaker 1: I mean a predator or a scavenger rather is gonna 1033 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,760 Speaker 1: come tear that stomach. Oh bears, It just leaves it 1034 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 1: looking like someone dumped out a bag of long clipping. 1035 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. But I mean there's no other explanation besides, 1036 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,040 Speaker 1: like just the way it looks, because there is a 1037 01:01:56,080 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 1: lot of non hunting recreator overlap, and that's like the 1038 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,800 Speaker 1: size of a wheelbar. Yeah, that stomach is like you 1039 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 1: couldn't even fit it in most wheelbear. That's also a 1040 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 1: sensitive topic around there, shooting buffalo, and there are a 1041 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:12,640 Speaker 1: lot of folks who are up in arms about that. 1042 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:16,560 Speaker 1: And the whole organization built around a whole organization, so 1043 01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,280 Speaker 1: I can kind of understand why they want to worry 1044 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,720 Speaker 1: about the optics of that. Ye, all right, go on. 1045 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:26,880 Speaker 1: They did some cut analysis. They but they were able 1046 01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 1: to take photos that matched the photo print outs they 1047 01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:37,440 Speaker 1: had brought with them, um by identifying specific like unique 1048 01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:43,000 Speaker 1: knots on trees and burn marks and branch configurations and 1049 01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,200 Speaker 1: and and took GPS way points at the same time 1050 01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,240 Speaker 1: finding all these all these kill sites were um they said, 1051 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,000 Speaker 1: within the space of about a football field, and they 1052 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:58,760 Speaker 1: were all a mile away from the Montana border. Um 1053 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,560 Speaker 1: so he and they they so they found those three 1054 01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:06,760 Speaker 1: butchered elk um, which in Herrera's defense, sounds like they 1055 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,800 Speaker 1: were well, they were well taken care of. They'd taken 1056 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,200 Speaker 1: all the meat. But they did find a fourth bowl 1057 01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:16,440 Speaker 1: that had been untouched and so yes, but it's main 1058 01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 1: so that so it's it's it's unclear uh, whether that 1059 01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:27,040 Speaker 1: was from Herrera or his group or somebody else, or 1060 01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:30,840 Speaker 1: if it died of natural causes. They couldn't tell what 1061 01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:36,080 Speaker 1: that bold died from. I don't remember exactly. Um. There, 1062 01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,400 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of chatter about this. I think 1063 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:42,080 Speaker 1: it's something we should discuss, like ch That's why I'm 1064 01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,760 Speaker 1: letting you say, because you've looked into it more. I've 1065 01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:46,720 Speaker 1: heard a lot of chatter and I heard some like 1066 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,919 Speaker 1: surprising things that that I don't know if they're true 1067 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,920 Speaker 1: or not. Yeah, And you know, I've had very little 1068 01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,400 Speaker 1: conversation with Claven Herrera, but I have tried to get 1069 01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 1: in touch with him several times. And I asked him 1070 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 1: specifically about that. Um. That was the first thing I 1071 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,560 Speaker 1: asked him, in fact, because it's a you know, it's 1072 01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,640 Speaker 1: a big accusation to level at a hunter and um. 1073 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:11,360 Speaker 1: But I also figured that was something that would you know, 1074 01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:13,760 Speaker 1: maybe get him to respond to me instead of a 1075 01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:17,000 Speaker 1: softball question. Uh. And he told me, he, um, he 1076 01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't even dignify it with a response. That's how like 1077 01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:26,720 Speaker 1: you know, he felt very highly insulted by the accusation. UM. 1078 01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 1: But anyway, Uh, that's what the game warden from Wyoming 1079 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:37,480 Speaker 1: said they found. UM. So they put together this evidence UM, 1080 01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:42,760 Speaker 1: the GPS way points, the photographic UM matches, and he 1081 01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:49,240 Speaker 1: confronted Herrera on the cro reservation UM in September and 1082 01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:53,400 Speaker 1: cited him for two misdemeanors, obviously the hunting out of 1083 01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,480 Speaker 1: season without a license, but also being accessory to other 1084 01:04:56,520 --> 01:05:00,640 Speaker 1: people doing so. Uh. For the two folks they a UM, 1085 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:06,280 Speaker 1: they possessed or they seized the heads of the elk. 1086 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:12,320 Speaker 1: All three elk had already been eaten by that point. Um. 1087 01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 1: And Uh, those three folks went to court. Uh they 1088 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,280 Speaker 1: were pressured very hard by the State of Wyoming Uh 1089 01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:26,600 Speaker 1: to plead guilty, to plead out. The state of Wyoming 1090 01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:30,840 Speaker 1: was seeking some thirty thousand dollars in fines and was gonna, 1091 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, come after them really hard with like, you know, 1092 01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:36,480 Speaker 1: removal of hunting privileges and certain things. The two other 1093 01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 1: guys UM who's names are escaping me right now, Uh 1094 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:47,240 Speaker 1: did plead guilty UM for a lighter fine, yes, Uh, 1095 01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:51,360 Speaker 1: And somewhere in the neighborhood of eight thousand UM and 1096 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:56,360 Speaker 1: probation and not hunting in Wyoming for three years UM. 1097 01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of this stuff is Uh. 1098 01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,840 Speaker 1: I feel like people who know this case are just 1099 01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:06,040 Speaker 1: taking notes about what I'm getting wrong here, and I'd 1100 01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:07,960 Speaker 1: like to, Uh, I'd like to, you know, kind of 1101 01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,560 Speaker 1: address that briefly by saying that a lot of these 1102 01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:14,640 Speaker 1: case files are sealed because it's an active, active litigation 1103 01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,919 Speaker 1: before the Supreme Court. Nobody wants to talk about this. 1104 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,880 Speaker 1: Like the guy who sent us that that pissy note 1105 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:25,480 Speaker 1: um yesterday. Uh, he was privy to seal the information. 1106 01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:27,560 Speaker 1: He was very he was privy to seal the information, 1107 01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:33,320 Speaker 1: and uh ended his his letter um with a long 1108 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:36,240 Speaker 1: disclaimer about how we could not reproduce this, we could 1109 01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,800 Speaker 1: not use his name, that it was not the official 1110 01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,960 Speaker 1: opinion of anybody or anything. Uh. And that's the That's 1111 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 1: what I've run up against a lot in this court case, um, 1112 01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:52,880 Speaker 1: because you know what happened. Yeah, And they tell me 1113 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,880 Speaker 1: some other part of it, and I would say, well, man, 1114 01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,880 Speaker 1: how where can I go see that? And they'd say, 1115 01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:00,840 Speaker 1: you can't. It's not part of public so it's hard 1116 01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:03,480 Speaker 1: to Yeah, And and what I'm what I'm talking about 1117 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:07,840 Speaker 1: here this testimony what I extracted by by skimming through 1118 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:12,560 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy pages of court transcription from the 1119 01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:17,360 Speaker 1: from the testimony. But anyway, um, the the court in 1120 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:22,640 Speaker 1: Wyoming um did A issued a pre trial decision saying 1121 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:28,520 Speaker 1: that these men could not use a treaty right argument 1122 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:34,240 Speaker 1: within this within this case. So they and you don't 1123 01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:36,440 Speaker 1: need to explain to you. But I just don't understand 1124 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,880 Speaker 1: the court system enough to understand that. I don't either, 1125 01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:45,800 Speaker 1: Steve and so, and it seems it's it seems odd. 1126 01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:50,320 Speaker 1: It seems odd to me. Let you understood it better. 1127 01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,320 Speaker 1: I do. I do too. And I imagine this podcast 1128 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 1: will get a lot of people reaching out and maybe 1129 01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 1: somebody we can actually quote about it. Um And and 1130 01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:02,480 Speaker 1: I loved dr talk to anybody about this. And I'm 1131 01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,840 Speaker 1: sorry if I pissed anybody off. I want to point 1132 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,479 Speaker 1: out I think you're doing a great job. Okay, thanks, 1133 01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,720 Speaker 1: I appreciate that you're trying really hard, because here's the thing. 1134 01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,680 Speaker 1: It's not like we're airing someone's dirty laundry. This is 1135 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 1: being heard by the Supreme Court. Yeah, and as we'll 1136 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,760 Speaker 1: get to this could is something that could have significant 1137 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:27,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to say major could have significant tangible ramifications. 1138 01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:32,160 Speaker 1: It could and it couldn't. You couldn't, it couldn't. So 1139 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,680 Speaker 1: so if you hit some points here, Sam, where you like, 1140 01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:42,439 Speaker 1: during your investigation here tracking down UM leads, have you 1141 01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:46,400 Speaker 1: hit some points where you're like, I'm just this is 1142 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,679 Speaker 1: pointless to go forward. Yes, So I wanted to walk 1143 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,960 Speaker 1: away from this so badly. I I got to the 1144 01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:54,720 Speaker 1: point where I was like, man, I really wish I 1145 01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,840 Speaker 1: hadn't opened my mouth about this story, because it got 1146 01:08:57,840 --> 01:08:59,200 Speaker 1: to it got to the point where it was it 1147 01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:02,760 Speaker 1: was very difficult to proceed and to really know, to 1148 01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:06,280 Speaker 1: be able to parse it because everybody, everybody's got vested 1149 01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:10,680 Speaker 1: interest here and there. There's so many different, strange, like 1150 01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:15,920 Speaker 1: competing UH sympathies. Most of the mainstream news coverage you 1151 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,600 Speaker 1: see on here is about this is oh nasty, Wyoming 1152 01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:24,320 Speaker 1: is just being mean to those natives that they promised 1153 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,080 Speaker 1: this too, and now they're reneging on these treaty rights, 1154 01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:31,000 Speaker 1: all these hundreds this hundred fifty years later. UM. But 1155 01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,640 Speaker 1: then on the other side of it, UH, you know 1156 01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:39,280 Speaker 1: is some some pretty uh I feel like overblown UM 1157 01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:46,080 Speaker 1: rhetoric about what would happen UH I think both extremes absolutely, 1158 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:48,280 Speaker 1: and so that that's what I was seeking to accomplish 1159 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:50,640 Speaker 1: with this story, is to is to make something that 1160 01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,360 Speaker 1: people could read all the way through that you know, 1161 01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:57,320 Speaker 1: I was aware of those extremes but didn't buy into them. 1162 01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,479 Speaker 1: And I think, honestly, most of the fee back I've 1163 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:06,400 Speaker 1: been getting about this was Hunters saying Hunters were angry 1164 01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:12,400 Speaker 1: at us for not condemning her era M and I 1165 01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 1: that's just not my role as a journalist. Like, I 1166 01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:17,599 Speaker 1: kept myself out of this as much as I possibly could. 1167 01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:21,360 Speaker 1: Obviously you can't completely eliminate bias, but I wasn't willing to. 1168 01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't willing to say that you know he but 1169 01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,639 Speaker 1: you haven't. But you haven't even gotten to the part 1170 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,280 Speaker 1: that the court cares about. Yeah, okay, so yeah, the 1171 01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:31,519 Speaker 1: part that the court cares all circumspects. But yeah, well yeah, 1172 01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,840 Speaker 1: so so that's how we got caught. The went went 1173 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:40,200 Speaker 1: to trial, it was found guilty. The the jury agreed 1174 01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:43,479 Speaker 1: with the prosecution. That uh, and so he argued because 1175 01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,519 Speaker 1: he couldn't make the treaty right argument in court, he 1176 01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:50,360 Speaker 1: argued that he didn't know he was in Wyoming, and 1177 01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:55,760 Speaker 1: that is the kind of return to what side tractice, Yeah, 1178 01:10:56,560 --> 01:11:00,360 Speaker 1: like some legal professional needs to explain to me how 1179 01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:04,920 Speaker 1: you can how in a court they can it can 1180 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,320 Speaker 1: be dictated to you. What I don't get it. Like 1181 01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,479 Speaker 1: let's say you kill someone and you're like, you're like, 1182 01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 1: but those self defense bro or I'm gonna act like 1183 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,680 Speaker 1: those self defense whatever, and they say you can't say that. 1184 01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,559 Speaker 1: I don't understand that. But I don't understand Okay, Okay, 1185 01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,200 Speaker 1: So I think I think I think part of this 1186 01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:22,960 Speaker 1: in gosh, I wish, I wish I understood this center, 1187 01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,040 Speaker 1: but part of it is is an issue, a thing 1188 01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:28,400 Speaker 1: called issue preclusion. So I think I think that's what 1189 01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:33,080 Speaker 1: perhaps where where this pre trial is decision derives from, 1190 01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:37,479 Speaker 1: because Wyoming is saying that because this issue has already 1191 01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:41,280 Speaker 1: been litigated in in high court decisions that I'm about 1192 01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:45,160 Speaker 1: to discuss, because this issue has already been been litigated, 1193 01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:51,840 Speaker 1: you can't relitigate that issue, yes, So so what go ahead? 1194 01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:54,599 Speaker 1: He's saying he didn't know he was in the state 1195 01:11:54,600 --> 01:12:00,479 Speaker 1: of Wyoming, but he wasn't like the list of charges 1196 01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:04,960 Speaker 1: brought against him didn't include hunting without a license. Yeah, 1197 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,840 Speaker 1: I did, it did he would have been legal he 1198 01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:11,400 Speaker 1: would have been, it wouldn't have been Wyoming's issue. And 1199 01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,919 Speaker 1: the Crow reservation, I don't believe the Crow tribe issues 1200 01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:19,479 Speaker 1: deer or elk hunting licenses because it's treated as a 1201 01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 1: as an inalienable right. You're allowed to go shoot deer 1202 01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,720 Speaker 1: and elk as a Crow tribe member on the reservation 1203 01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:33,200 Speaker 1: kind of whenever you want. Collateral estopple is your issue preclusion? Yeah, 1204 01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:37,040 Speaker 1: issue preclusion is is by and large what's being argued, 1205 01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:40,439 Speaker 1: um by Wyoming in the Supreme Court. That's correct me 1206 01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,040 Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. But isn't there also something that hinges 1207 01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,519 Speaker 1: upon the definition of occupied land? Yes, oh yeah, but 1208 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,559 Speaker 1: that we haven't got that. But but you know, now 1209 01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:52,679 Speaker 1: I'm feeling it on how you cannot like let's say, 1210 01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:58,040 Speaker 1: let's say we've live in some fictitious world in which um, 1211 01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:03,360 Speaker 1: some Supreme Court decide hides that that self defense is 1212 01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:08,000 Speaker 1: not a justifiable self defense isn't justifiable for murder. So 1213 01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:10,000 Speaker 1: then later I'm like, I get murdered. I'm like, well, 1214 01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that it was self defense, and they say, no, 1215 01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:17,280 Speaker 1: you're not, because it's been decided that that isn't a defense. 1216 01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,720 Speaker 1: So I could see some version go on. Yeah, I'm 1217 01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:23,679 Speaker 1: feeling better now. Yeah. So Wyoming is pointing to two 1218 01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:28,719 Speaker 1: separate court cases. Um in eighteen ninety six Supreme Court 1219 01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:32,479 Speaker 1: ruling called Ward v. Racehorse, I'll back up because you're 1220 01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:37,000 Speaker 1: not you're not there yet. I'm you're right, You're tight, 1221 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:43,320 Speaker 1: You're you're right, You're right. He's convicted and appeals Yes, 1222 01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:46,880 Speaker 1: and uh. The appeal obviously has made it to the 1223 01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:49,439 Speaker 1: United States Supreme Court. And what is his what is 1224 01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:54,360 Speaker 1: his appeal? His appeal to forbidden appeal? Correct. His appeal 1225 01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:58,240 Speaker 1: is that the eighteen sixty eight second Treaty of Fort 1226 01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:02,519 Speaker 1: Laramie included Lane Whidge that the Crow tribe when the 1227 01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:07,040 Speaker 1: Crow tribe exceeded some thirty million acres of Montana, Wyoming, 1228 01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:10,960 Speaker 1: North and South Dakota to the United States and were 1229 01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:18,200 Speaker 1: allotted there I think eight million acre reservation, they retained 1230 01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:20,840 Speaker 1: the right to hunt on the unoccupied lands of the 1231 01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:24,360 Speaker 1: United States, so long as game may be found there. 1232 01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:33,720 Speaker 1: On some wishy washy words. Yeah, yeah, but no, not 1233 01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:38,719 Speaker 1: words I wishy washy word right, what is it unclaimed 1234 01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:43,320 Speaker 1: or unoccupied? Unoccupied, unoccupied lands of the United States, so 1235 01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:47,559 Speaker 1: long as game may be found there on. So the 1236 01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:51,720 Speaker 1: state of Wyoming became a state shortly after that in 1237 01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:59,160 Speaker 1: eight and in eight six the Shoshoni Bannock tribe UM 1238 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,800 Speaker 1: tried to assert a similar hunting right with similar language, 1239 01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 1: I think the same language actually unoccupied lands of the 1240 01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:14,760 Speaker 1: United States UM, asserting off reservation tribal hunting rights in Wyoming. 1241 01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:19,840 Speaker 1: And the Supreme Court said that, Um, when the state 1242 01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:24,040 Speaker 1: of Wyoming entered the Union, they did so on the 1243 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:27,360 Speaker 1: same footing as all other states, the equal footing doctrine. 1244 01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 1: That's that's pretty ubiquitous, UM. And that that equal footing 1245 01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:36,200 Speaker 1: includes sovereignty over the natural resources within that state. So 1246 01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:42,960 Speaker 1: word vy Racehorse said that the the Shoshone Bannocks tribal 1247 01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:49,200 Speaker 1: hunting rights were extinguished by Wyoming's statehood, like they became 1248 01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:55,080 Speaker 1: not unoccupied. Yes, that that land became occupied when Wyoming 1249 01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:59,360 Speaker 1: became a state. It was it was unoccupied territory prior 1250 01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:02,280 Speaker 1: to that, then it became a state. So that's that's 1251 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:06,600 Speaker 1: your definition right there of what is occupied. Yes, and 1252 01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:10,240 Speaker 1: that's being tested, yes, and and that's and there's there's 1253 01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:17,200 Speaker 1: another layer to that, UM. There was another Uh, there's 1254 01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:23,360 Speaker 1: another decision from the Tenth Circuit Court in so just 1255 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:26,800 Speaker 1: shy of A hundred years later UM in a case 1256 01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:30,400 Speaker 1: called Crow Tribe of Indians Versus Repsis, which is a 1257 01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:34,000 Speaker 1: very similar case to this, it was a Crow tribal 1258 01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,559 Speaker 1: member who killed an elk out of season without a 1259 01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:39,280 Speaker 1: license in the Big Horn National Forest. That did not 1260 01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,920 Speaker 1: go to the Supreme Court UH. That ended at the 1261 01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:45,800 Speaker 1: at the Tent Circuit court. But the Tent Circuit asserted 1262 01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,960 Speaker 1: that the creation of the Big Horn National Forest resulted 1263 01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,679 Speaker 1: in the occupation of the land. The Big Horn National 1264 01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:55,160 Speaker 1: Forest was designated in seven it's one of the oldest 1265 01:16:55,160 --> 01:17:00,960 Speaker 1: protected areas UM in the country. So there's those two 1266 01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 1: those two cases. But shortly thereafter after the Repsist decision UH, 1267 01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:14,320 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court heard a case called Minnesota the mill 1268 01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:18,680 Speaker 1: Locks Band of Chipwah Indians UM and the curt The 1269 01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:26,240 Speaker 1: Court maintained in that decision that the Millocks tribe main 1270 01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,640 Speaker 1: did maintain hunting and fishing rights on the lands they 1271 01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:33,720 Speaker 1: had seated under a similar treaty agreement UM. But they 1272 01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:38,800 Speaker 1: did not reverse either the Racehorse or the Repsist decision. 1273 01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:45,519 Speaker 1: So now there's these three conflicting precedents that the Supreme 1274 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,720 Speaker 1: Court is is is wrestling with yeah, because I'd have 1275 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:52,760 Speaker 1: to challenge, like, is the U S territory of Guam 1276 01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:58,639 Speaker 1: technically unoccupied because it's not incorporated as a state, well, 1277 01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:00,679 Speaker 1: and you could show up and hunt a tribal member, 1278 01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:04,840 Speaker 1: go hunt Guam. The oral arguments in the Supreme Court, Uh, yeah, 1279 01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:08,759 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think so. The Supreme Court 1280 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,240 Speaker 1: UM wrestled with this in the in the oral oral arguments, 1281 01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:14,240 Speaker 1: and they're I mean they're they're throwing jokes back and 1282 01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:16,800 Speaker 1: forth about like how the hell do we decide what 1283 01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 1: unoccupied land is? They asked, let's see, three lawyers, attorneys 1284 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 1: spoke before the Supreme Court UM, one representing her Era, 1285 01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:29,559 Speaker 1: one representing the United States, who is intervening on behalf 1286 01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,479 Speaker 1: of Herrera in this case, so they're siding with the 1287 01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:36,200 Speaker 1: Crow tribe, and then the the attorney for Wyoming. Uh. 1288 01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:38,599 Speaker 1: And they asked all of them, what, how do how 1289 01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,400 Speaker 1: do we what's what's unoccupied land? How do we decide that? 1290 01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:47,920 Speaker 1: I asked the wildlife professional about this. UM. I don't 1291 01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,679 Speaker 1: want to tell who because I didn't talked to about 1292 01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 1: how I was going to use this perspective, but I 1293 01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:56,880 Speaker 1: was asking, like when when people were drawing up these treaties. 1294 01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:01,479 Speaker 1: I was expressing some surprise about using language it would 1295 01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:04,720 Speaker 1: be so confounding to later generations, and he said that 1296 01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:09,559 Speaker 1: confounding gets it. He said that that probably wasn't the 1297 01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:12,800 Speaker 1: word that mattered to them because at the time when 1298 01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:15,800 Speaker 1: they were doing this, because I think the assumption was 1299 01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:20,280 Speaker 1: that the game would be exhausted. Yes, yes, they didn't 1300 01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:23,599 Speaker 1: view it wasn't normal. Was picturing that we'd still have 1301 01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:26,640 Speaker 1: the resources, and it was like they were watching it 1302 01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:32,280 Speaker 1: vanish as long as they're go ahead, Well, it was exhausted. 1303 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:35,719 Speaker 1: And and that's and that's an interesting argument that hasn't 1304 01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,360 Speaker 1: been made, but has been suggested to me that elk 1305 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:42,600 Speaker 1: were extirpated from the Big Horn Mountains. So so the 1306 01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,720 Speaker 1: tree language not only says the unoccupied lance part, but 1307 01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,920 Speaker 1: so long as game may be found there on. So 1308 01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 1: the state of Wyoming also could make the argument that 1309 01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:56,719 Speaker 1: because at one point game could not be found there 1310 01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,840 Speaker 1: on in the Big Horn National Forest in the state 1311 01:19:59,880 --> 01:20:03,280 Speaker 1: of Wyoming brought them back as well as bringing elk 1312 01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:07,320 Speaker 1: back to the Crow Reservation, that you know that the 1313 01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:10,160 Speaker 1: treaty right right was extinguished because of that. That's not 1314 01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:13,040 Speaker 1: the argument they made. But it's when they perhaps could 1315 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:16,599 Speaker 1: have that. Yeah, and and and I've I've heard that too, 1316 01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:22,120 Speaker 1: that uh, the negotiators, if you will, for the United 1317 01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,800 Speaker 1: States at the time, we're thinking that that, well, we're 1318 01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:30,320 Speaker 1: we're we're damn far down the road of getting rid 1319 01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:32,479 Speaker 1: of all the bison and elk and everything, and they're 1320 01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:35,960 Speaker 1: probably not gonna last a whole lot longer. So what 1321 01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:39,320 Speaker 1: what what value validity does this have? This, this truck, 1322 01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:42,360 Speaker 1: this right will will go away just because they won't 1323 01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:46,160 Speaker 1: have anything left to shoot not too long. It seems 1324 01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:51,040 Speaker 1: that the money is betting on Wyoming losing. Like we 1325 01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,439 Speaker 1: don't know how much they'll lose or how bad they'll lose, 1326 01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:55,160 Speaker 1: but the money seems to be betting on that Wyoming 1327 01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 1: will lose. Yes, Yes, that's that's a that's my if 1328 01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:01,960 Speaker 1: I to read the tea leaves, and there's two, there's 1329 01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:06,800 Speaker 1: two competing wisdoms here, one competing one one wisdom. One 1330 01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:12,160 Speaker 1: idea is that this will mean that the whole system 1331 01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:18,760 Speaker 1: that we've built around assessing wildlife populations, making a determination 1332 01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:22,639 Speaker 1: about harvestable quotas and being able to enforce that, like, 1333 01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:26,320 Speaker 1: all of that's gone. Now. If I'm just saying that 1334 01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:29,479 Speaker 1: that the two look radical competing with that that is 1335 01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:33,080 Speaker 1: the given the radicals here, Yeah, the radical sides and 1336 01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:36,599 Speaker 1: and and we'll getting on what might be the thing. 1337 01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:38,920 Speaker 1: But like you, you wouldn't need to you, you don't 1338 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:42,720 Speaker 1: need to look far to find someone who could say, well, 1339 01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:47,439 Speaker 1: what this could mean was is that tribal members can 1340 01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:51,519 Speaker 1: go out onto any national forest, any blm land. I've 1341 01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:57,639 Speaker 1: even heard national park and shoot whatever you want, whenever 1342 01:21:57,680 --> 01:21:59,720 Speaker 1: you want, whenever you want unoccupied land. And it will 1343 01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,280 Speaker 1: make land and will make wildlife management very difficult because 1344 01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,920 Speaker 1: we won't have enforcement systems in quotas and and bag 1345 01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,880 Speaker 1: limits and seasons and all that. That's that's one thing. 1346 01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:14,439 Speaker 1: Another thing is that, um, this is nothing new. Other 1347 01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:17,400 Speaker 1: states have been in this situation. There's states that work 1348 01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:23,760 Speaker 1: in cooperation, most states, and it wasn't and it wasn't 1349 01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,479 Speaker 1: wildlife armageddon, and there's no reason to think that it 1350 01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,200 Speaker 1: will be here. Those are like right. I haven't been 1351 01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:31,760 Speaker 1: able to confirm this, but I've heard a couple of 1352 01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:34,840 Speaker 1: times that Wyoming is the only state that does not 1353 01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:41,320 Speaker 1: allow any form of off reservation treaty hunting every other apparently, 1354 01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:45,040 Speaker 1: I cannot confirm this but I have heard that every 1355 01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:48,519 Speaker 1: other state in the West there exists some form. I mean, 1356 01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:50,439 Speaker 1: we were just talking about it. In the case of 1357 01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:55,559 Speaker 1: the Gardener bison hunt that's off reservation treaty hunting. Yeah, 1358 01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:58,639 Speaker 1: and there I think and and man I could be off. 1359 01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 1: But in there, I feel like it just has to 1360 01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,720 Speaker 1: be that the tribe actually, like the tribe doing the 1361 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:06,200 Speaker 1: bison hunting, but they're doing it in cooperation. They're like, 1362 01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:10,479 Speaker 1: there's like quote as they went place, it's like historic 1363 01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:14,000 Speaker 1: use patterns. So it can't be that like that. I 1364 01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:18,759 Speaker 1: don't think that that someone from um, like a seminole. Perhaps, 1365 01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:20,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, I could be wrong with us. I 1366 01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,960 Speaker 1: don't think a seminole could come out and make a 1367 01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:28,040 Speaker 1: claim that they're gonna shoot buffalo on the border of 1368 01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:30,320 Speaker 1: Also National Park. I think it has to be a 1369 01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:33,599 Speaker 1: group that has some sort of historic youth handing. Now 1370 01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:36,559 Speaker 1: the Nez Purse, who I went there. As we all know, 1371 01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:39,240 Speaker 1: when the yes net Purse were during the Netz perse War, 1372 01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:43,040 Speaker 1: Um they traveled through Yellowstone, so it was like they 1373 01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,519 Speaker 1: had an awareness of the area they were able to 1374 01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:48,840 Speaker 1: navigate through there. They had historically gone out and hunted 1375 01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:52,439 Speaker 1: on the plains because like our our people, if they 1376 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:54,719 Speaker 1: didn't know about it and didn't know how to travel 1377 01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:56,639 Speaker 1: through there, they wouldn't have gone through there in eighteen 1378 01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,560 Speaker 1: seventy seven. So we had a historic there was a 1379 01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:03,679 Speaker 1: historic use. Yes, and in many tribes have petitioned based 1380 01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:07,400 Speaker 1: on historic use and in treaty language successfully and in 1381 01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:13,760 Speaker 1: very very recently too. Um. Two uh, restore those those 1382 01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:18,920 Speaker 1: hunting rights based on historic use. Um. So what didn't 1383 01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:22,760 Speaker 1: we hit? What didn't we hit? Well, yeah, okay, so 1384 01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:25,320 Speaker 1: we we didn't. We didn't quite we didn't quite wrap 1385 01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:27,880 Speaker 1: that wrap that up about what what would happen. So yeah, 1386 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,000 Speaker 1: there's people who are saying, well, yes, if the Supreme Court, 1387 01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:35,160 Speaker 1: you know, rules in favor of Herrera, then all of 1388 01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:39,559 Speaker 1: a sudden, there will be tribal members in every national 1389 01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:43,479 Speaker 1: forest in the West, shooting whatever they want, whenever they want. 1390 01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,200 Speaker 1: I'd be I'd be extreme. I would be that that's 1391 01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:49,320 Speaker 1: just not gonna happen. Well, the matter is that's not 1392 01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:51,080 Speaker 1: gonna happen. You don't know because there could be some 1393 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:54,000 Speaker 1: huge sweeping like now and then the court will have 1394 01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:57,880 Speaker 1: like some huge sweeping thing that causes a lot of Yes, 1395 01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,400 Speaker 1: but that there overturned a lot. The doctrine of conservation 1396 01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:05,200 Speaker 1: necessity is in everyone's minds here, and that is a 1397 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:13,000 Speaker 1: a well established UM precedent. That's that basically prevents courts 1398 01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:20,120 Speaker 1: from issuing decisions that would have drastic negative consequences for 1399 01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:23,479 Speaker 1: wildlife populations. This is this is this is something that 1400 01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:28,519 Speaker 1: dates back a long ways and UM the Supreme Court 1401 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:32,480 Speaker 1: is is highly aware of The Supreme Court is unlikely 1402 01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:38,439 Speaker 1: to completely solve this issue. Uh They they typically, I 1403 01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:43,280 Speaker 1: mean the Supreme Court deals and high minded ideals, if 1404 01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:48,160 Speaker 1: you will, so they what I would guess they would 1405 01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:53,400 Speaker 1: do is issue a test for occupancy. Two. I imagine 1406 01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:59,559 Speaker 1: they will say that there are unoccupied lands in Wyoming still. 1407 01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:04,800 Speaker 1: But what that means that they may remand to a 1408 01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:07,920 Speaker 1: lower quarter or they may issue some form like what 1409 01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:11,200 Speaker 1: what I think about? Here is another case I'm familiar with, 1410 01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, the current litigation surrounding the Clean Water Act. 1411 01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:19,679 Speaker 1: Uh So that the the issue there is like what 1412 01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:23,040 Speaker 1: what what are connected waterways? Like? What are you allowed 1413 01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:26,240 Speaker 1: to pollute? What are you not allowed to pollute? And UM, 1414 01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:28,960 Speaker 1: what they're basing a lot of the revision of that 1415 01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:35,200 Speaker 1: Clean Water Act rulemaking is on UM significant nexus or 1416 01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:39,080 Speaker 1: is it is it navigable or you know how water 1417 01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:40,720 Speaker 1: flows from one place to the other. That's what the 1418 01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:43,280 Speaker 1: Supreme Court likes to do, is like, here's a test. 1419 01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:46,240 Speaker 1: This is how you go down and you go figure 1420 01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:49,320 Speaker 1: it out. And so they'll probably remand to the tent 1421 01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:53,120 Speaker 1: circuit or whoever it is um based on this, and 1422 01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:56,400 Speaker 1: I've heard some I've heard some suggestions that it's hundred 1423 01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,240 Speaker 1: and fifty yards from a road and two hundred yards 1424 01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:03,200 Speaker 1: from a campground in in a national forest and on 1425 01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:07,040 Speaker 1: on public land or so so they they may issue 1426 01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:11,840 Speaker 1: some some like these are unoccupied lands, but the conservation, 1427 01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:17,400 Speaker 1: the doctrine of conservation necessity will likely lead them or 1428 01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:21,799 Speaker 1: the lower court they were manned to too effectively force 1429 01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:28,599 Speaker 1: Wyoming and the Crow tribe to come to the table 1430 01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:33,080 Speaker 1: and and say, okay, you do have the Crow tribal 1431 01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:36,920 Speaker 1: members do have this right to hunt these unoccupied lands, 1432 01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,240 Speaker 1: whatever they may be, and put it to Wyoming to 1433 01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:42,360 Speaker 1: accommodate them. Yeah, exactly, Wyoming will have to accommodate them. 1434 01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:44,400 Speaker 1: And and in the story I have an example of 1435 01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:51,519 Speaker 1: how how that um went down with a tribe in Colorado. UM. 1436 01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:54,799 Speaker 1: And so you know, one guy I talked to UH 1437 01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:58,040 Speaker 1: for this for this story he gets. He gives the 1438 01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:01,920 Speaker 1: example of UM, so say there's hundred ELK tags for 1439 01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:06,400 Speaker 1: that unit currently. He if he's looking at the crystal 1440 01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,080 Speaker 1: ball or t leaves or whatever, he's saying, like, you 1441 01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:12,200 Speaker 1: know currently, and you know these these are numbers out 1442 01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:13,880 Speaker 1: of thin air. But he's like, so if you currently 1443 01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:16,640 Speaker 1: have eighty licenses, of those licenses going to residents and 1444 01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:22,680 Speaker 1: twenty going to non residents, after whatever may happen, if 1445 01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:26,320 Speaker 1: they rule in favor of Herrera, then you'd have sixty 1446 01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:30,320 Speaker 1: of those licenses going to residents, ten going to non residents, 1447 01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:35,200 Speaker 1: in like thirty going to crow tribe members. So that 1448 01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:40,680 Speaker 1: that's that's how that's how significant reduction of available tags. Yeah, yeah, 1449 01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:42,400 Speaker 1: you know that's what you just brought up. Something that's 1450 01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:44,519 Speaker 1: interesting with the guy that this idea of, like should 1451 01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:47,559 Speaker 1: you be able to do nonresident hunting is um Most 1452 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:50,680 Speaker 1: states also put a cap. Most states limit like an 1453 01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:53,000 Speaker 1: available resource for only ten percent of the resources can 1454 01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:55,439 Speaker 1: go to non residents. Yeah, and Wyoming does all sorts 1455 01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:57,280 Speaker 1: of crazy stuff like that, like you can't hunt in 1456 01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:00,519 Speaker 1: the wilderness areas and nonresident that without not a guide, 1457 01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:05,240 Speaker 1: which I believe is unconstitutional. But I asked the governor 1458 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:08,000 Speaker 1: there about that. He didn't want to discuss it. I 1459 01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:11,000 Speaker 1: would imagine that's unfair rule. How do you justify that? 1460 01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:12,479 Speaker 1: He goes, I don't need to justify it to you. 1461 01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:16,640 Speaker 1: I spent out it was it was a joking. He 1462 01:29:16,680 --> 01:29:20,240 Speaker 1: didn't really. I mean it was we're formally joking around, 1463 01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:24,000 Speaker 1: uh my buddies over there on the Idaho side. That 1464 01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:28,280 Speaker 1: That's kind of what they always come back to is like, listen, 1465 01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:33,920 Speaker 1: you may have more pressure in your area, but the 1466 01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:39,360 Speaker 1: number of nonresident hunters doesn't change. It's like, for the 1467 01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:43,519 Speaker 1: last X amount of years it's been this much, it's capped. Yeah, 1468 01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:49,840 Speaker 1: It's like it's it's never above ten percent. And he's like, yeah, 1469 01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:53,439 Speaker 1: I don't doubt that you're seeing more pressure in year zone. Well, 1470 01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:58,519 Speaker 1: Colorado Archery ELK, it is not capped. There's over the 1471 01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:03,200 Speaker 1: counter tags all over damn state. Oh really that's cap 1472 01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:06,960 Speaker 1: That's interesting because he feels like you will see Brody. 1473 01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:09,920 Speaker 1: Brody is predicting that you will see the end of that. Yeah, 1474 01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:13,639 Speaker 1: it will become capped. I I thought that they I guess, 1475 01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:17,000 Speaker 1: not right. Not happening to move at that direction. But 1476 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:19,400 Speaker 1: they're doing some stuff this year. But they didn't. They 1477 01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:23,200 Speaker 1: didn't cap like the OTC tags. They didn't do any Idaho. 1478 01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:28,680 Speaker 1: Every non resident purchase goes against that quota. So it 1479 01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:32,320 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you're buying all the way up in 1480 01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:37,600 Speaker 1: the Panhandle, uh, you know, unit one or all the 1481 01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:42,240 Speaker 1: way on the complete opposite side of Hell's Canyon. Um, 1482 01:30:42,360 --> 01:30:45,799 Speaker 1: it all comes out of a nonresident pool, can I 1483 01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:47,160 Speaker 1: I know I got us off on that, but I 1484 01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:51,040 Speaker 1: get us back. What are we missing? Sam? I feel 1485 01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:54,560 Speaker 1: like we've covered it, so we gotta wait now, we 1486 01:30:54,680 --> 01:30:56,720 Speaker 1: gotta we gotta wait. But yeah, you know, I mean 1487 01:30:56,760 --> 01:30:59,200 Speaker 1: too if you had to one to tenant, one to 1488 01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:04,840 Speaker 1: tenant on this is like one to tenant, um Like 1489 01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,320 Speaker 1: this is like, oh my god, this is gonna change 1490 01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:10,040 Speaker 1: life as we know it. Being a ten one will 1491 01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:11,840 Speaker 1: be that there's no not even a blip. You'll never 1492 01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:13,280 Speaker 1: really you could live your whole life and never knew 1493 01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:18,240 Speaker 1: this happened. Um, where are you putting it? Putting into? 1494 01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:20,200 Speaker 1: Yeah it is. I wish you'd ask me that an 1495 01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:22,000 Speaker 1: hour ago, and I could have thought about a little bit. 1496 01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:24,599 Speaker 1: But I'd say a three or four for three or four, Yeah, 1497 01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:27,479 Speaker 1: I mean and and so and and everybody like with 1498 01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:29,439 Speaker 1: with this piece of everybody wanted to put like big 1499 01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:34,120 Speaker 1: implications in the in the headline and and major changes coming. 1500 01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:37,840 Speaker 1: And I just I was uncomfortable with that because I 1501 01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:41,920 Speaker 1: because because of the content doctrine of conservation necessity, we 1502 01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:47,000 Speaker 1: don't have unregulated hunting in the United States by and large. 1503 01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:53,439 Speaker 1: You know this will this will ultimately fit into some 1504 01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:57,720 Speaker 1: form of game management system. Will people in Wyoming lose opportunity? 1505 01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:03,160 Speaker 1: That's that's possible. I don't think that's yeah, quite possible. Um, 1506 01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:07,160 Speaker 1: But uh, you know something something that um Herrera's lawyer 1507 01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:10,800 Speaker 1: keeps harping on whenever I've talked to her is that 1508 01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:16,960 Speaker 1: elk are over objective in that unit and that Wyoming 1509 01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:20,960 Speaker 1: apparently can't get rid of enough elk tags. And so 1510 01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:23,960 Speaker 1: what's interesting about this, and we talked about this, and 1511 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:27,800 Speaker 1: you talked about it too, is that none of this 1512 01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:32,400 Speaker 1: matters to the court. The Supreme Court doesn't care like 1513 01:32:32,479 --> 01:32:35,080 Speaker 1: about the elk objective. They don't care if you took 1514 01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:37,599 Speaker 1: all the meat, none of the meat. It doesn't matter 1515 01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:40,240 Speaker 1: if you shot a hundred of them. Yeah, it doesn't 1516 01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:44,240 Speaker 1: matter if you tortured them they're talking about ceremonials, talking 1517 01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:46,800 Speaker 1: about like three or four words. They're talking about issue 1518 01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:50,960 Speaker 1: preclusion and unoccupied lands. They're not that's all they're making 1519 01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:52,960 Speaker 1: Like was this ethical? And it's like there, it's like 1520 01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:55,400 Speaker 1: they're looking at something very clean. All of the stuff 1521 01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:57,800 Speaker 1: we're getting into, all the preluders like Germane. It's like, 1522 01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:01,559 Speaker 1: is someone who's living under this treaty that was made 1523 01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:04,600 Speaker 1: with the federal government, what is the definition of a 1524 01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:07,200 Speaker 1: term that was using your treaty? Yeah, and so and 1525 01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:09,240 Speaker 1: so that whole story I took I took people through 1526 01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:11,519 Speaker 1: is like and that that's what everybody points to, is I. 1527 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:13,880 Speaker 1: It's like, oh man, he just he's felt so guilty. 1528 01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:17,080 Speaker 1: He felt he really feels like poaching. Even someone on 1529 01:33:17,160 --> 01:33:18,960 Speaker 1: staff was like, while he was poaching, let's just say 1530 01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:22,519 Speaker 1: it was poaching. That's not, that's not, that's not, that's 1531 01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:24,479 Speaker 1: not what's a foot here that that's not what the 1532 01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:29,000 Speaker 1: Supreme Court does. More than likely, I would expect that 1533 01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:32,400 Speaker 1: whatever the Supreme Court decides, there will be another ruling 1534 01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:34,760 Speaker 1: by a lower court case that will decide if he 1535 01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:36,720 Speaker 1: was poaching or not, and he will gets slapped with 1536 01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:39,960 Speaker 1: a fine for that. You don't think so. No, if 1537 01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:43,080 Speaker 1: he wins, he's not going to get a If he 1538 01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:44,800 Speaker 1: wins the Supreme Court case, he's not going to get 1539 01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:49,040 Speaker 1: fined by the state. Right, Well, you know who knows. 1540 01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:51,320 Speaker 1: Let's let' let's let's revisit this after Yeah, let's bring 1541 01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:54,960 Speaker 1: a lawyer in here. But yeah, so I I really, 1542 01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:58,800 Speaker 1: I really think that you know, it will affect hunters 1543 01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:03,000 Speaker 1: in Wyoming, UM by some measure, But I don't think 1544 01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:05,640 Speaker 1: it blows up the North America in the auto of 1545 01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:08,400 Speaker 1: wildlife conservation like some people are asserting. That's your prediction, 1546 01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:11,240 Speaker 1: that's my prediction. We'll return to it. Okay, Yeah, I'm 1547 01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:14,479 Speaker 1: gonna I'm hooked now. I can't help but continue to 1548 01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:17,320 Speaker 1: follow this. So, uh, it's it's gonna be. It's gonna 1549 01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:19,160 Speaker 1: be quite a while until this is resolved, so we'll 1550 01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:22,360 Speaker 1: have plenty more opportunities. I don't have a good segue 1551 01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:27,120 Speaker 1: for what's coming. Net. Do you have a pivot? No? Well, yeah, 1552 01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:28,840 Speaker 1: I think a pivot that's just like you just start 1553 01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:32,680 Speaker 1: talking about something different, right, No, pivot's kind of like 1554 01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:35,320 Speaker 1: a segue. You could just jump. I like how you're 1555 01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:38,200 Speaker 1: wearing a jump my dad. My dad calls My dad 1556 01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:40,760 Speaker 1: calls it changing gears without hitting it, without stepping on 1557 01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:43,120 Speaker 1: the clutch. I'm not clutching, and he loves to do that. 1558 01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:47,200 Speaker 1: He just changes changes topics on the drop of the happen. 1559 01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:50,479 Speaker 1: I forgot to clutch there. Sorry, because the theme, the 1560 01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:53,519 Speaker 1: theme here, one of the themes here is um uh 1561 01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:56,680 Speaker 1: we're talking about here, I'm working this out. One of 1562 01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:59,719 Speaker 1: the themes that we're talking about. We're talking with writers 1563 01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:05,120 Speaker 1: and uh and writing. We're talking about writing. They can 1564 01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:07,519 Speaker 1: be found at the meat Eator dot com. And I'm 1565 01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:15,000 Speaker 1: pivoting too, Miles Nick Nolton's kid, Miles, you never sent 1566 01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:17,800 Speaker 1: me any good you know, birthday, yes, or anything. That's 1567 01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:20,200 Speaker 1: what I was always hoping. Yeah, I mean he could 1568 01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:22,479 Speaker 1: have afforded some some good ship. I never got anything. 1569 01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,280 Speaker 1: You gotta do a paternity claim, Like, well, how else 1570 01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:30,360 Speaker 1: would I have the same name? Uh, lay out your deal. 1571 01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:34,559 Speaker 1: So the story that we're talking about comes from I 1572 01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:36,320 Speaker 1: mean this kind of kicked around in my head when 1573 01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:40,120 Speaker 1: I was ice fishing not too long ago, and we 1574 01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:41,840 Speaker 1: were we were having a good day and we were 1575 01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:45,080 Speaker 1: pulling a whole lot of perch through the ice and 1576 01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:47,559 Speaker 1: just kind of take them off the hook, and we 1577 01:35:47,600 --> 01:35:50,280 Speaker 1: had probably three inches of standing water on the ice 1578 01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:52,479 Speaker 1: in the hut at that time, and I could just 1579 01:35:52,600 --> 01:35:57,719 Speaker 1: hear these dozens of perch splashing around beneath us, not 1580 01:35:57,720 --> 01:36:00,839 Speaker 1: not really dying, just kind of gasping and half freezing. 1581 01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:05,559 Speaker 1: And it got me thinking about how, particularly as hunters, 1582 01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:08,200 Speaker 1: we talk a lot about ethical killing. Yeah, like, you'd 1583 01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:09,639 Speaker 1: never have a half a live deer in the back 1584 01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:11,720 Speaker 1: of your truck. No, No, well I hadn't. My old 1585 01:36:11,720 --> 01:36:14,080 Speaker 1: man was it was accident, it was a road kill. 1586 01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:15,760 Speaker 1: He didn't. He didn't do it, and someone else did it. 1587 01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:17,720 Speaker 1: You never drag a half a live deer and like 1588 01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:19,800 Speaker 1: have it kicking behind me. That that's fine. Yeah, I'm 1589 01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:22,240 Speaker 1: not worried about that. That That sounds pretty dangerous too. I 1590 01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:24,840 Speaker 1: mean there is that aspect, but that's beyond but that's 1591 01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:28,040 Speaker 1: not what that's not the point here. Beyond danger. Yes, 1592 01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:31,559 Speaker 1: So it got me thinking about how we we talk 1593 01:36:31,600 --> 01:36:34,960 Speaker 1: a lot about ethical killing, and we judge people who kill, 1594 01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:38,960 Speaker 1: how we determined to be unethically as hunters, but no 1595 01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,120 Speaker 1: one seems to give a shit about fish. My sister 1596 01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:44,360 Speaker 1: in law, you're okay, your sister in law teaser for it, 1597 01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:49,080 Speaker 1: for it and she made her job to dispatch fish, 1598 01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:53,120 Speaker 1: and we ridicule her for it. But we don't have 1599 01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:58,120 Speaker 1: live squirrels bouncing around in our game bags. That would 1600 01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:00,720 Speaker 1: be barbaric. And and if you wound the bird bird 1601 01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:03,360 Speaker 1: hunting and it's still flopping, what do you do? Kill 1602 01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:07,200 Speaker 1: it immediately? Immediately, immediately? And if you don't, you're a 1603 01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:09,640 Speaker 1: bad person, right, I mean by all of like the 1604 01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:14,160 Speaker 1: collective consciousness assessment, fish like tough shit, We just let 1605 01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:16,439 Speaker 1: him go? Why is it? And this is my question, 1606 01:37:16,479 --> 01:37:18,559 Speaker 1: this is what I started thinking about, is why why 1607 01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:22,880 Speaker 1: do we not care about fish? It's I think it's like, well, 1608 01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:25,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's just like a person, 1609 01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:29,200 Speaker 1: what the amount of credit you give them? High you've 1610 01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:32,599 Speaker 1: talked about before. But so after you and I talked 1611 01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:35,120 Speaker 1: about this, Steve, I went and did a deep dive 1612 01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:39,200 Speaker 1: into some of the literature, like the actual research literature 1613 01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:44,000 Speaker 1: on this and the dark web, Yes, the dark web? 1614 01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:48,280 Speaker 1: Is that? Is that what we're calling the truth about 1615 01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:54,840 Speaker 1: the truth about whatever. It's a real answer and and 1616 01:37:55,160 --> 01:38:00,720 Speaker 1: believe it or not, like in certain biology circles or 1617 01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:04,439 Speaker 1: certain certain uh corners of academia, right now, there is 1618 01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:09,360 Speaker 1: a lively debate about how much pain fish feel and 1619 01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:12,200 Speaker 1: whether or not they do feel pain. And this they're 1620 01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:15,200 Speaker 1: like these sort of these two camps that are lobbying 1621 01:38:15,320 --> 01:38:18,240 Speaker 1: articles back and forth in different journals. They keep referencing 1622 01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:21,320 Speaker 1: the same each other and and going back and forth 1623 01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:27,280 Speaker 1: convinced fish do feel pain or convinced the argument for 1624 01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:32,479 Speaker 1: why fish can't feel pain. And it seems to me 1625 01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:34,640 Speaker 1: that all of this, like I learned, I learned a 1626 01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:36,800 Speaker 1: lot of vocabulary while I was doing this. I figured 1627 01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:40,479 Speaker 1: you guys would would appreciate vocabulary. So one being, um, 1628 01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:44,880 Speaker 1: the things that cause pain into two critters are referred 1629 01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:49,120 Speaker 1: to as noxious stimuli. Got it. Yep, I'm liking that one. Yep. 1630 01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:53,360 Speaker 1: And the beginning for a band, Yeah, would like it's 1631 01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:57,639 Speaker 1: real hard metal. Yeah, very like death metal. Knocks at 1632 01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:03,240 Speaker 1: a lot of like feedback and they sing like death metal. 1633 01:39:03,439 --> 01:39:06,080 Speaker 1: Well that that's that's a great segue into your lead. 1634 01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:08,840 Speaker 1: It is. But I'm I've got more like I've got 1635 01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:12,280 Speaker 1: I've got these the goes on right like you got. 1636 01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm not a stimuli. I'm just saying your vana. I 1637 01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:17,040 Speaker 1: know I do cover that in the article. We do 1638 01:39:17,120 --> 01:39:19,320 Speaker 1: get into you know, I do believe there's but there's 1639 01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:22,120 Speaker 1: possibly like the reason at least our generation doesn't think 1640 01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:25,240 Speaker 1: that that's cool. The torture fish is because of Kurt Cobain. 1641 01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:28,160 Speaker 1: We can completely blame him for his his lyrics that 1642 01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:30,000 Speaker 1: you know it's okay to eat fish because they don't 1643 01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:32,720 Speaker 1: have any feelings. But I don't buy that. Cobain said 1644 01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:36,920 Speaker 1: that he did Underneath the Bridge. Yeah, I never did 1645 01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:39,320 Speaker 1: like that band. I mean nothing to do with that. 1646 01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:42,559 Speaker 1: It's like, well, you're from that area. I couldn't help it. 1647 01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:44,360 Speaker 1: I still I don't. I don't don't consider him like 1648 01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:47,960 Speaker 1: a solid source on on fish. You don't go there 1649 01:39:47,960 --> 01:39:50,200 Speaker 1: for your theology. I don't. I don't. There were people 1650 01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:56,560 Speaker 1: in my class bawling the day Cobain killed himself, or 1651 01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:58,400 Speaker 1: the day of the news came out that he had killed. 1652 01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm not about being I'm not gonna like act like 1653 01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:04,400 Speaker 1: I'm sad when someone passes away. I'm not. I'm not 1654 01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:06,600 Speaker 1: sitting up sorry. I'm not gonna act like I'm not 1655 01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:09,439 Speaker 1: gonna stay like. That's not I means said the opposite. 1656 01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:13,600 Speaker 1: I went, I'm saying like meat digging, and I just 1657 01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:16,200 Speaker 1: don't like the music as bearing out my feelings about 1658 01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:21,040 Speaker 1: one's passage, especially someone has a child. Yes, I'm gonna 1659 01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:24,799 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pivot this back to to where the noxious 1660 01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:28,760 Speaker 1: stimulator things that could hurt something. The the behavior of 1661 01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:33,160 Speaker 1: responding to noxious stimuli without being conscious of it or 1662 01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:36,280 Speaker 1: is known as no seception or nazi semption. I'm not 1663 01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:41,439 Speaker 1: totally sure. And and where this really hinges is the 1664 01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:45,960 Speaker 1: difference between having the subjective experience of pain, which is 1665 01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:50,240 Speaker 1: known or subjective experiences are known as quality just more 1666 01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:52,680 Speaker 1: more thrown out there. But there's a subjective experience of 1667 01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:58,440 Speaker 1: pain versus sort of the unconscious response to a noxious stimulus. 1668 01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:02,400 Speaker 1: And the best analogy that I was able to find 1669 01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:05,479 Speaker 1: was that, like when you put your hand down on 1670 01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:11,439 Speaker 1: a hot burner, your body jerks your hand away before 1671 01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:17,800 Speaker 1: you experience pain, And so those two neurological experiences are different, 1672 01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:20,879 Speaker 1: like that the processes in the brain are very different 1673 01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:24,959 Speaker 1: between having what they would call a nose defensive behavior 1674 01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:28,519 Speaker 1: pulling your hand away, and then having the subjective experience 1675 01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:31,920 Speaker 1: of having pain. And so where these two camps of 1676 01:41:32,200 --> 01:41:35,600 Speaker 1: researchers seem to differ is do fish have the physiological 1677 01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:41,640 Speaker 1: capability of getting to that pain experience? And some say 1678 01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:44,200 Speaker 1: they dunes, some say they don't. So there there's still 1679 01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:47,200 Speaker 1: debate between these two camps of biologists as to whether 1680 01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:51,800 Speaker 1: or not fish are just reacting to not just stimuli, 1681 01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:54,760 Speaker 1: or they're actually have or they have the capacity to 1682 01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:57,160 Speaker 1: both react to it and feel it as a pain experience, 1683 01:41:57,400 --> 01:42:00,960 Speaker 1: if the quality or the subjective experience is similar to 1684 01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:04,519 Speaker 1: ourselves and higher primates. And so there's there, you know, 1685 01:42:04,600 --> 01:42:07,320 Speaker 1: if you look at it in terms of the evolutionary 1686 01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:10,759 Speaker 1: tree of vertebrates, fish are about as far from primates 1687 01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:12,479 Speaker 1: as you can get. And there are a lot of 1688 01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:15,479 Speaker 1: differences in the way that we're put together. And these 1689 01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:18,640 Speaker 1: two camps of researchers are essentially arguing over something that 1690 01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:22,120 Speaker 1: right now is unknowable. What is the internal experience of fish? 1691 01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:25,719 Speaker 1: And point unknowable it is? And and they both seem 1692 01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:27,880 Speaker 1: to me, And I'm sure we're gonna get mail from 1693 01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:29,720 Speaker 1: folks who are researching to no more than I do. 1694 01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:32,559 Speaker 1: It seems to me that they're working from predetermined notions. 1695 01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:35,360 Speaker 1: One camp be in like it is we since we 1696 01:42:35,439 --> 01:42:40,320 Speaker 1: can't know the possibility of subjecting these critters to pain 1697 01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:43,920 Speaker 1: that's not unnecessary, is is atrocious, and we should therefore 1698 01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:46,120 Speaker 1: make sure we're not doing it, and the other camp 1699 01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:49,479 Speaker 1: saying the value to humans of our the way that 1700 01:42:49,479 --> 01:42:51,160 Speaker 1: we're doing things like the way that we fish, the 1701 01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:53,799 Speaker 1: way that we farm, the way that we do testing 1702 01:42:53,880 --> 01:42:56,599 Speaker 1: on fish is so high that we can't assume that 1703 01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:59,000 Speaker 1: they're having the pain experience. And so they both are 1704 01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:03,040 Speaker 1: working from their their preconceived notions of value and trying 1705 01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:05,760 Speaker 1: to prove something that at this point is unknowable. Where 1706 01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:10,640 Speaker 1: are you add it? I mean, I'm stuck on the 1707 01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:14,920 Speaker 1: unknowable part, and I have I love fishing and I'm 1708 01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:18,599 Speaker 1: not gonna stop fishing. And I think that fish experience stress. 1709 01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:20,680 Speaker 1: There's no question they experience stress. You can, you can, 1710 01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:23,160 Speaker 1: there is is there no question that fish experience stress. 1711 01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:25,559 Speaker 1: That part is is no question they experienced stress. They 1712 01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:28,320 Speaker 1: have stress hormones. They there are a lot of studies 1713 01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:31,280 Speaker 1: that demonstrate that they avoid noxious stimuli right, and that 1714 01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:35,080 Speaker 1: they different fish more than others. By the way, trout 1715 01:43:35,560 --> 01:43:38,479 Speaker 1: do not avoid noxious stimuli because they're not as smart 1716 01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:41,839 Speaker 1: as say goldfish. Different story though. The other thing I found, 1717 01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:44,600 Speaker 1: but that's why the can catch them so good. I 1718 01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:48,360 Speaker 1: still think I still from when going back to the 1719 01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:52,559 Speaker 1: initial story, I don't think there's any reason to unnecessarily 1720 01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:56,360 Speaker 1: subject fish to stress if you're just gonna kill him anyway. 1721 01:43:56,360 --> 01:44:01,880 Speaker 1: So you're now stopping, you're stopping. Okay, let me put 1722 01:44:01,880 --> 01:44:05,000 Speaker 1: it this way. Let's say you're fishing bluegills. It's hot, 1723 01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:08,479 Speaker 1: and you're throwing them in a bucket because they stay 1724 01:44:08,479 --> 01:44:10,240 Speaker 1: alive in the bucket, they do. And you keep adding 1725 01:44:10,240 --> 01:44:14,080 Speaker 1: water because you're live well alive because it's hot out 1726 01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:16,160 Speaker 1: you don't happen to have a whole bunch of ice 1727 01:44:16,200 --> 01:44:18,360 Speaker 1: and packing them on ice and whatnot. Do you think 1728 01:44:18,439 --> 01:44:22,240 Speaker 1: that's bad? He damn sure is not wanting to be 1729 01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:25,479 Speaker 1: in that bucket. Yeah, I mean, I I think that. 1730 01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:29,960 Speaker 1: I think that. I'm not I'm not condemning live wells. 1731 01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna come. I'm not gonna go with that 1732 01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:34,920 Speaker 1: about buckets. I mean, do you make an argument the 1733 01:44:34,920 --> 01:44:38,280 Speaker 1: bucket alive well, pretty damn so properly managed. I think 1734 01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:40,040 Speaker 1: those are pretty dmpn similar, I think. And I think 1735 01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:42,320 Speaker 1: that in that case, if you're playing to harvest that 1736 01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:44,439 Speaker 1: fish and it's a question of spoiling the meat and 1737 01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:47,360 Speaker 1: wasting the critter, I'm gonna say keep it in the 1738 01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:50,680 Speaker 1: keeping the bucket and keep alive, but then dispatch it 1739 01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:53,160 Speaker 1: quickly when you remove it from there. Here's the thing 1740 01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:56,040 Speaker 1: that makes us interesting too. And you talk about this, 1741 01:44:56,240 --> 01:44:59,400 Speaker 1: you talk about killing fish. When you were a commercial fisherman, 1742 01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:01,200 Speaker 1: I was. I was. I was a guide that was 1743 01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:03,400 Speaker 1: a recreation guide, but we were harvesting a lot of 1744 01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:05,120 Speaker 1: I was gotten up in Alaska. I got it up 1745 01:45:05,120 --> 01:45:07,160 Speaker 1: in Alaska for years, and we harvested a lot of 1746 01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:10,200 Speaker 1: salmon for our clients, and we essentially became fish processors. 1747 01:45:10,680 --> 01:45:14,519 Speaker 1: Best practices, yeah, was to get them in as quickly 1748 01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:16,840 Speaker 1: as possible, whack them right at the base of the 1749 01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:20,960 Speaker 1: skull until you get the twitch, and then bleed them 1750 01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:25,880 Speaker 1: out and get that meat off the bone. I did. 1751 01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:28,200 Speaker 1: I I commercial fish in Alaska for a long time, 1752 01:45:28,240 --> 01:45:30,880 Speaker 1: and we would haul in tens of thousands of sam 1753 01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:34,360 Speaker 1: at the same time into our hold of refrigerated seawater 1754 01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:37,719 Speaker 1: that's exactly thirty four degrees and so, and they would 1755 01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:40,639 Speaker 1: freeze to death over the span of about an hour 1756 01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:44,320 Speaker 1: they'd be swimming around in there. So that seems much 1757 01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:46,720 Speaker 1: less humane than what you were doing. Yeah, and and 1758 01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:48,960 Speaker 1: that like to to that point. That's one of the 1759 01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:51,720 Speaker 1: issues going on with the researchers are talking about right 1760 01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:55,880 Speaker 1: the way that we harvest fish commercially, if they experienced pain, Like, 1761 01:45:56,040 --> 01:45:57,800 Speaker 1: we have all these things in place for livestock, in 1762 01:45:57,840 --> 01:45:59,439 Speaker 1: the way that you can kill livestock too, so that 1763 01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:02,479 Speaker 1: it is as humane as possible, even like blind Yeah, 1764 01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:04,760 Speaker 1: like blind alleys, you can't they can't see the one 1765 01:46:04,760 --> 01:46:07,400 Speaker 1: in front of it. Yeah, and they don't see like 1766 01:46:07,960 --> 01:46:10,479 Speaker 1: in a normal situation. I guess they they're not even 1767 01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:12,280 Speaker 1: watching the one in front of it get hit. And 1768 01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:14,760 Speaker 1: that's a neat quality issue as much as a that's 1769 01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:17,680 Speaker 1: what That's what I's getting out the commercial practices is 1770 01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:20,920 Speaker 1: it winds up being that Um, people who are like 1771 01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:23,640 Speaker 1: just concerned with since they're just concerned without it's like 1772 01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:29,280 Speaker 1: a reductive thing. People who are concerned with quality of flesh. Um. 1773 01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:31,280 Speaker 1: I didn't know about your case. I think people are 1774 01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:34,479 Speaker 1: concerned with the quality fresh process real quick. Yeah. But 1775 01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:37,599 Speaker 1: Sam's case is slightly different too, because we're talking about 1776 01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:43,040 Speaker 1: he's talking about humane ethical kill and this is a 1777 01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:46,400 Speaker 1: question of do fish feel pain? Well, this is both 1778 01:46:46,439 --> 01:46:49,000 Speaker 1: And that's the difficulty of this of this debate is 1779 01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:52,880 Speaker 1: because we're trying to apply science to a philosophical issue. 1780 01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:55,680 Speaker 1: The reason that we know this is possible though, or 1781 01:46:55,800 --> 01:47:01,639 Speaker 1: it's a relatable thing is congenital in sensitivity to pain 1782 01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:08,640 Speaker 1: or SIP genital and sensitivity genital um, which is the 1783 01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:13,400 Speaker 1: human version of you have never felt pain, nor are 1784 01:47:13,479 --> 01:47:20,000 Speaker 1: you capable of feeling physical pain. So by knowing about that, 1785 01:47:20,080 --> 01:47:23,320 Speaker 1: we do know that it is at least possible to say, well, 1786 01:47:24,720 --> 01:47:29,680 Speaker 1: these fish or what whatever you want to discuss this on, 1787 01:47:30,760 --> 01:47:33,400 Speaker 1: it is possible that they could very well not feel 1788 01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:37,920 Speaker 1: pain because we do have an established case. Um, I 1789 01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:41,640 Speaker 1: know that these critters damn sure don't want to die. No, 1790 01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:46,200 Speaker 1: that's why. That's why. Yeah, I don't don't really have 1791 01:47:46,240 --> 01:47:49,360 Speaker 1: any to add. My sister in law changed my my 1792 01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:51,559 Speaker 1: My sister in law made me feel slightly sensitive to 1793 01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:55,760 Speaker 1: it because she doesn't like it, and that that was 1794 01:47:55,800 --> 01:47:59,040 Speaker 1: the base of your We're out fishing catfish, she don't 1795 01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:01,679 Speaker 1: like them laying by. I'm about we're going all around, 1796 01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:05,519 Speaker 1: she won't even fish. Should just take a flame knife 1797 01:48:05,520 --> 01:48:09,640 Speaker 1: and kill all the catfish. I would say this. I 1798 01:48:09,640 --> 01:48:11,800 Speaker 1: would say this. I think that the point for me 1799 01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:14,160 Speaker 1: in all of this is that we we talk about 1800 01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:17,080 Speaker 1: trying to be at least conscious of the way that 1801 01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:18,960 Speaker 1: we kill things, we're gonna harvest somewhere to eat them. 1802 01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:20,880 Speaker 1: And I think that we should apply that to fish 1803 01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:24,479 Speaker 1: as much as we do anything else. And and because 1804 01:48:24,520 --> 01:48:27,320 Speaker 1: because it's unknowable, take steps to you know, I'm not 1805 01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:29,160 Speaker 1: saying don't go out and kill fish, because I'm not 1806 01:48:29,160 --> 01:48:32,680 Speaker 1: gonna stop doing that, but to to do it in 1807 01:48:32,720 --> 01:48:36,080 Speaker 1: a way that like if to not unnecessarily draw out 1808 01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:38,760 Speaker 1: that process, because this was not hard to just whack 1809 01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:40,760 Speaker 1: him over the back of the head. And they're done 1810 01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:43,080 Speaker 1: the same way, like if you kill your ducks to 1811 01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:45,160 Speaker 1: someone say like I don't, I think you should when 1812 01:48:45,160 --> 01:48:46,800 Speaker 1: you run up to a duck, you should make sure 1813 01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:50,559 Speaker 1: it's dead. That's not by extension saying you shouldn't hunt ducks. No, yeah, 1814 01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:53,200 Speaker 1: we've just accepted that. That's like a normal practice. Have 1815 01:48:53,280 --> 01:48:56,240 Speaker 1: you guys seen the videos of the Messiah when they 1816 01:48:56,280 --> 01:48:59,160 Speaker 1: had decided to kill you know, they're nomadic hurds and 1817 01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:01,800 Speaker 1: when they had decide I had to kill one of 1818 01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:08,759 Speaker 1: their beeves. Um, like, it's quite the slaughter process because 1819 01:49:10,560 --> 01:49:16,880 Speaker 1: like everybody's around petting this. I would assume a steer um. 1820 01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:19,760 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what age class they select, but that 1821 01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:22,479 Speaker 1: would suggest that they cast right. That would suggest that 1822 01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:24,599 Speaker 1: they cast right if it's a steer. But and I'm 1823 01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:30,360 Speaker 1: putting a lot of western uh yeah. But they're around 1824 01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:36,720 Speaker 1: like petting this uh beef and uh I had and 1825 01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:40,080 Speaker 1: from what outside looking in, making it seem very special. 1826 01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:43,519 Speaker 1: And then somebody just pops a real quick hole and 1827 01:49:43,560 --> 01:49:49,160 Speaker 1: it's jugular vein and uh they continue to sit there 1828 01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:53,759 Speaker 1: and and pet it and eventually it just like weekends 1829 01:49:53,800 --> 01:50:00,680 Speaker 1: and goes to sleep. There's a apocalypse now now they 1830 01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:10,160 Speaker 1: do it. No, no, but that seems like killing them 1831 01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:15,760 Speaker 1: softly approach. I think. I think the the quick kill 1832 01:50:17,880 --> 01:50:22,680 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, quickly dispatching our our game is 1833 01:50:22,720 --> 01:50:27,519 Speaker 1: something that's very caught up in the uh you know, 1834 01:50:27,560 --> 01:50:31,760 Speaker 1: the fair chase ethic that's developed around sport hunting in 1835 01:50:31,080 --> 01:50:36,439 Speaker 1: the United States over the last hundred years. Because I 1836 01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:40,240 Speaker 1: imagine the market hunters of old didn't care so much 1837 01:50:40,280 --> 01:50:42,960 Speaker 1: about it. I'm guessing not guys who were out killing, 1838 01:50:43,240 --> 01:50:47,719 Speaker 1: you know, dozens and dozens of deer bison every day 1839 01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:52,200 Speaker 1: probably weren't overly bothered by the you know, how long 1840 01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:56,160 Speaker 1: it took for them to die. They were, but for 1841 01:50:56,240 --> 01:51:01,400 Speaker 1: other reasons. But someone who ran four their bison off 1842 01:51:01,520 --> 01:51:05,360 Speaker 1: cliff right. Yeah, probably wasn't top of mind to go 1843 01:51:05,479 --> 01:51:07,000 Speaker 1: and make sure I mean that that was like a 1844 01:51:07,080 --> 01:51:09,559 Speaker 1: maiming exercise. It was like, probably not top of mind 1845 01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:12,240 Speaker 1: to make sure everyone was humanely dispatched real quick. No. 1846 01:51:12,479 --> 01:51:14,599 Speaker 1: But I mean, this is this is something that has grown, 1847 01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:17,120 Speaker 1: as you know, I feel like concurrently with the fair 1848 01:51:17,200 --> 01:51:20,760 Speaker 1: chase ethic, and I think it's a positive notion. I 1849 01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:24,880 Speaker 1: think it's tied to a lot of other Western ideals 1850 01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:28,759 Speaker 1: and even anthropomorphism, the growth of that in our culture. 1851 01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:31,680 Speaker 1: So it's it's fascinating to me. And just dealing with 1852 01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:34,320 Speaker 1: the working on this piece with Miles, it's it's really 1853 01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:37,800 Speaker 1: made me introspective about it. Now. I sort of feel 1854 01:51:37,840 --> 01:51:42,120 Speaker 1: bad for letting tens of thousands of pink salmon, uh 1855 01:51:42,280 --> 01:51:44,679 Speaker 1: you know, die over the band of a couple hours. 1856 01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:48,240 Speaker 1: And it's it's really made me think about this and 1857 01:51:48,439 --> 01:51:51,559 Speaker 1: every every fish I've caught since then. I've just it's 1858 01:51:51,600 --> 01:51:54,439 Speaker 1: not too hard to take a filet knife and stab 1859 01:51:54,479 --> 01:51:58,400 Speaker 1: it right behind the eye and make them dead quickly. Man, 1860 01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:01,479 Speaker 1: those boys and gone are good at it. They kill him, 1861 01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:06,760 Speaker 1: they do because all their fish bite. Yeah, they around 1862 01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:08,439 Speaker 1: the bottle of the boat. They'll take a chunk out 1863 01:52:08,439 --> 01:52:11,479 Speaker 1: of your leg. Man, they got it down pat. They 1864 01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:13,840 Speaker 1: hit it like it's like they take that knife and 1865 01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:17,840 Speaker 1: they'll they'll stand the fish up, belly down, thin up, 1866 01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:21,280 Speaker 1: and they hit the sweet spot with that tip of 1867 01:52:21,280 --> 01:52:24,760 Speaker 1: that knife that fishes. It's a good practice. Sometimes. My 1868 01:52:24,840 --> 01:52:26,880 Speaker 1: dad almost lost a toe to a dungeon s crab 1869 01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:29,080 Speaker 1: that was wandering around at the bottom of the boat. 1870 01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:33,280 Speaker 1: But you know, some folks again for the meat, the 1871 01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:36,439 Speaker 1: consistency of meat that they're looking for. It's like you 1872 01:52:36,479 --> 01:52:41,400 Speaker 1: want to leave that heart pumping pop a gil so 1873 01:52:42,160 --> 01:52:45,519 Speaker 1: it's bleeding out. That doesn't sound very good. And then 1874 01:52:45,560 --> 01:52:51,760 Speaker 1: there's that may practice miles about that. That's that that 1875 01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:54,760 Speaker 1: can't be a good a good way to go. That's 1876 01:52:54,760 --> 01:52:57,720 Speaker 1: where that's where the man. Once you e k G 1877 01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:02,640 Speaker 1: may something. It's dead dead dead dead dead, Yeah, the 1878 01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:09,200 Speaker 1: dead dead. Explain what that is e k G. Man Um. Basically, 1879 01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:11,960 Speaker 1: you start at the tail um and there's a lot 1880 01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:15,439 Speaker 1: to do with like getting the fish cold um, but 1881 01:53:15,479 --> 01:53:20,439 Speaker 1: it's still alive. Um. You cut the tail open. It 1882 01:53:20,439 --> 01:53:22,679 Speaker 1: hasn't been bonked on the head or nothing. It hasn't 1883 01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:25,760 Speaker 1: been bonked on the head. Yeah, you peel the tail back. 1884 01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:28,519 Speaker 1: You take a metal rod and you running up the 1885 01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:32,519 Speaker 1: spinal column to the base of the brain. And what 1886 01:53:32,640 --> 01:53:37,760 Speaker 1: that does is it uh prevents the fish going uh 1887 01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:41,920 Speaker 1: for going through riga moartas changes change us the way. Yeah, 1888 01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:44,839 Speaker 1: we had a guy right in all about this changes 1889 01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:48,479 Speaker 1: the way to say, like there's like when you slaughter cattle. 1890 01:53:48,520 --> 01:53:52,479 Speaker 1: Have you ever watching the slaughter cattle and a slaughter facility? 1891 01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:57,559 Speaker 1: Not personally, so I think this is the right sequence. 1892 01:53:57,680 --> 01:54:01,639 Speaker 1: The hit with a captive bolt gun, hoist it up, 1893 01:54:02,479 --> 01:54:07,000 Speaker 1: cut it, electrocute it, electrify it. And that has to 1894 01:54:07,080 --> 01:54:12,000 Speaker 1: do with yeah, it has to do with like neat 1895 01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:15,439 Speaker 1: quality issues. But it just melts. There's no like like 1896 01:54:15,520 --> 01:54:18,559 Speaker 1: changes the way. It's like seized up. And and we're 1897 01:54:18,880 --> 01:54:20,759 Speaker 1: the first time I went to Guyana, they killed turtles 1898 01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:23,120 Speaker 1: that way. Cut the head off the turtle and take 1899 01:54:23,160 --> 01:54:25,280 Speaker 1: a long skewer. Did they go out caught in the jungle, 1900 01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:28,240 Speaker 1: Take a long skewer and run it down the turtle spine, 1901 01:54:28,880 --> 01:54:31,200 Speaker 1: down the center of the spine. Because normally if you 1902 01:54:31,280 --> 01:54:32,720 Speaker 1: kill a snap and turl, you can't clean it for 1903 01:54:32,760 --> 01:54:35,440 Speaker 1: an hour or two. You clean that turtle the second 1904 01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:37,680 Speaker 1: you cut its head off because once you e K G. 1905 01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:42,000 Speaker 1: Made it, I'm using verb form up. Once you did 1906 01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:44,760 Speaker 1: that to it, you could lift this leg up and 1907 01:54:44,840 --> 01:54:47,600 Speaker 1: drop it and the leg just falls flat dead. There's 1908 01:54:47,640 --> 01:54:51,360 Speaker 1: no nerve like, there's no like nerve contraction. It just melts. 1909 01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:57,400 Speaker 1: That's fascinating telling you what, man, And it has to 1910 01:54:57,400 --> 01:55:02,160 Speaker 1: do with like like sushi, and you know the applications. 1911 01:55:02,160 --> 01:55:03,680 Speaker 1: I'm not even totally checked out. I need to tell 1912 01:55:03,720 --> 01:55:06,240 Speaker 1: again this is somebody reading about it right now. But 1913 01:55:06,280 --> 01:55:08,879 Speaker 1: it was interesting on the fish thing because if at 1914 01:55:08,920 --> 01:55:15,600 Speaker 1: any point in time a thousand years ago, um, somebody 1915 01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:21,200 Speaker 1: truly thought fish had pain experiencing that, I think it'd 1916 01:55:21,200 --> 01:55:23,360 Speaker 1: take a real tough son of a bit should be like, listen, man, 1917 01:55:23,440 --> 01:55:25,840 Speaker 1: I know it's really gonna hurt, but I'm gonna run 1918 01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:32,160 Speaker 1: this metal route up your spine. If you're quick about it. Yeah, 1919 01:55:32,480 --> 01:55:37,160 Speaker 1: you know what's dead. It's going to be dead, real dead. Yes, 1920 01:55:37,240 --> 01:55:40,760 Speaker 1: if I did that to you, just like jelly, no 1921 01:55:40,880 --> 01:55:43,960 Speaker 1: bringing you back. But I think I think the point 1922 01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:46,400 Speaker 1: here that s important is that like, is it possible 1923 01:55:46,400 --> 01:55:52,080 Speaker 1: that that we are anthropomorphizing all the game as it's 1924 01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:54,960 Speaker 1: very possible, But I also think that that's there's there's 1925 01:55:55,120 --> 01:55:57,800 Speaker 1: a validity to that, to it to to take best 1926 01:55:57,800 --> 01:56:02,879 Speaker 1: practices that we can to tomize the potential of suffering, 1927 01:56:02,920 --> 01:56:05,360 Speaker 1: whether because we do not know, like, at least from 1928 01:56:05,440 --> 01:56:07,040 Speaker 1: the research that I was reading, we do not know. 1929 01:56:07,520 --> 01:56:10,480 Speaker 1: You're not ruining You're not like ruining the meat. No, 1930 01:56:11,240 --> 01:56:15,120 Speaker 1: you're not. It's like it's not costing you anything. And 1931 01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:18,160 Speaker 1: if it's only a ten percent chance that it's diminishing suffering, 1932 01:56:18,160 --> 01:56:21,440 Speaker 1: why not exactly? And from a oral standpoint, it's just 1933 01:56:21,680 --> 01:56:24,320 Speaker 1: better ground to stand on. Yeah, I feel like we 1934 01:56:24,320 --> 01:56:27,000 Speaker 1: can feel better about ourselves as hunters and anglers if 1935 01:56:27,040 --> 01:56:29,520 Speaker 1: we have a higher degree of respect for the animal 1936 01:56:29,560 --> 01:56:31,800 Speaker 1: in its life. And I feel like, you know, in 1937 01:56:31,840 --> 01:56:35,600 Speaker 1: the day and age we live in, having you know, 1938 01:56:35,720 --> 01:56:40,840 Speaker 1: a positive public perception of our practices is as is 1939 01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:44,320 Speaker 1: very important that we consider these things. In fact, just 1940 01:56:44,360 --> 01:56:46,800 Speaker 1: the very fact that we consider them. I think it's beneficial. 1941 01:56:47,040 --> 01:56:50,560 Speaker 1: Was the name of your article, Miles, Uh, it's it's 1942 01:56:50,600 --> 01:56:56,040 Speaker 1: it's currently being decided because it hasn't come out yet. 1943 01:56:56,440 --> 01:56:58,400 Speaker 1: It will be coming out next week, so we we 1944 01:56:59,200 --> 01:57:01,400 Speaker 1: the draft hoppy is finished, But you go with a 1945 01:57:01,480 --> 01:57:03,240 Speaker 1: clever one or just one that lays it right. Out. 1946 01:57:03,280 --> 01:57:05,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure yet. Like I've got two different options 1947 01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:08,200 Speaker 1: right now, so I'm I'm I mean, the obvious one 1948 01:57:08,240 --> 01:57:12,280 Speaker 1: is do fish feel pain? I've seen that or that exactly. 1949 01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:16,880 Speaker 1: That undersells it, man, I know, I think you should 1950 01:57:16,880 --> 01:57:19,520 Speaker 1: call it um. It's working on ethical right now. It's 1951 01:57:19,560 --> 01:57:21,920 Speaker 1: ethical fish killing. It's sort of the working title. But 1952 01:57:21,960 --> 01:57:23,720 Speaker 1: I think that's lame and I want to get more interesting. 1953 01:57:25,480 --> 01:57:27,440 Speaker 1: I don't have a good title. I'm working on it. 1954 01:57:28,120 --> 01:57:30,040 Speaker 1: I was trying to get to a one fish to 1955 01:57:30,360 --> 01:57:33,520 Speaker 1: fish red fish. Oh yeah, that's a type of situation. 1956 01:57:33,640 --> 01:57:36,760 Speaker 1: I was trying to go with fish. I was trying 1957 01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:39,839 Speaker 1: to go with a play on Nirvana or Kurt Cobain. 1958 01:57:40,680 --> 01:57:43,240 Speaker 1: I wonder if there's another lyric we get to extract there. 1959 01:57:43,800 --> 01:57:46,840 Speaker 1: There was there was one of those in the spirit 1960 01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:52,360 Speaker 1: maybe yeah, de fish, real quick? What's wrong? Honest? Well, 1961 01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:54,120 Speaker 1: I just want to say something. I've been listening to 1962 01:57:54,120 --> 01:57:55,760 Speaker 1: you guys talk for like ten minutes. I was gon 1963 01:57:56,880 --> 01:58:01,000 Speaker 1: and uh, I just feeling It's fun because last night 1964 01:58:01,160 --> 01:58:03,160 Speaker 1: my wife and now we're talking about just like how 1965 01:58:03,360 --> 01:58:06,240 Speaker 1: much does an animals suffer? We're like the kids were 1966 01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:09,480 Speaker 1: somehow the HSUS came into it. And we're trying to 1967 01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:13,040 Speaker 1: explain to kids like species versus individual animals, and we 1968 01:58:13,120 --> 01:58:17,120 Speaker 1: got talking about suffering whatever until like we actually are 1969 01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:20,920 Speaker 1: able to say, yes, this is the experience the animal hats. 1970 01:58:21,360 --> 01:58:23,840 Speaker 1: We can't really even use a term and apply the 1971 01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:27,360 Speaker 1: term suffering to them because you just don't know. And 1972 01:58:27,400 --> 01:58:29,760 Speaker 1: I mean, look at how individuals are different. You might 1973 01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:32,520 Speaker 1: suffer when we're out there in Alaska in the rain 1974 01:58:32,640 --> 01:58:35,560 Speaker 1: and it's shitty and you have a suffering sensation. I 1975 01:58:35,680 --> 01:58:38,760 Speaker 1: might not. I might relish that, and and and and 1976 01:58:38,760 --> 01:58:41,200 Speaker 1: and do well in it, right, and so like it's 1977 01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:44,160 Speaker 1: and it's we bring up these things were like we're like, oh, well, 1978 01:58:44,360 --> 01:58:46,760 Speaker 1: we feel better about it, and sure we do, but 1979 01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:50,400 Speaker 1: it's like this made up fantasy really that like it's 1980 01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:53,520 Speaker 1: in our own heads that we now feel better about 1981 01:58:53,520 --> 01:58:55,240 Speaker 1: this thing that we're doing where we really don't have 1982 01:58:56,640 --> 01:58:59,440 Speaker 1: like there's just no basis to it because we don't know. 1983 01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:01,720 Speaker 1: You could say in the experience. You can say the 1984 01:59:01,760 --> 01:59:06,760 Speaker 1: same thing though about all fair chase philosophy. Totally no, 1985 01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:09,440 Speaker 1: And I agree, like it's something that we've made up 1986 01:59:09,680 --> 01:59:11,840 Speaker 1: and we decided that those are the rules that we're 1987 01:59:11,840 --> 01:59:14,040 Speaker 1: going to play by. Yeah, well, that that's what ethics is. 1988 01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:20,520 Speaker 1: An animal rights ethicist that I spoke with, the guy 1989 01:59:20,560 --> 01:59:23,160 Speaker 1: that's interviewed in the Stars in This Guy documentary, he 1990 01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:27,760 Speaker 1: one of the things he tries not try it out. 1991 01:59:27,760 --> 01:59:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the things you explained to me 1992 01:59:29,400 --> 01:59:30,920 Speaker 1: is he's like, look at the way are like the 1993 01:59:30,960 --> 01:59:35,680 Speaker 1: way the country handles human rights. All we recognize that 1994 01:59:35,800 --> 01:59:39,520 Speaker 1: all people have rights. It's not we don't base out 1995 01:59:39,600 --> 01:59:43,760 Speaker 1: your rights like an American's rights recognized by the government. 1996 01:59:43,920 --> 01:59:45,960 Speaker 1: We don't go like, oh yeah, but you're not that smart, 1997 01:59:46,080 --> 01:59:51,320 Speaker 1: so you don't have them, or um, you know, you're 1998 01:59:51,360 --> 01:59:54,400 Speaker 1: handicapped in some way, so you don't have them. It's 1999 01:59:54,440 --> 01:59:56,720 Speaker 1: just that we extend them. We agree on these ideas 2000 01:59:56,760 --> 02:00:00,120 Speaker 1: that all people are created equal have these things. And 2001 02:00:00,200 --> 02:00:04,760 Speaker 1: so that's what makes him uncomfortable with this idea. Well, 2002 02:00:04,840 --> 02:00:09,480 Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it too dear, um, but I would 2003 02:00:09,520 --> 02:00:11,560 Speaker 1: do it to a fish. But he does a better, 2004 02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:14,320 Speaker 1: far better job of articulating this than I do. But 2005 02:00:14,520 --> 02:00:15,960 Speaker 1: I'm kind of doing like such a bad job. I 2006 02:00:15,960 --> 02:00:18,680 Speaker 1: almost regret bringing it up. But you get the point. No, no, absolutely, 2007 02:00:18,720 --> 02:00:22,080 Speaker 1: And I'm glad you mentioned him because his segment in 2008 02:00:22,120 --> 02:00:25,080 Speaker 1: that film absolutely informed by thinking on this. I thought 2009 02:00:25,160 --> 02:00:28,680 Speaker 1: I thought that was a super interesting inclusion to the 2010 02:00:29,040 --> 02:00:31,960 Speaker 1: your discussion of hunting. Yeah, he's a good dude, like 2011 02:00:31,960 --> 02:00:37,280 Speaker 1: an interesting well spoken um looks the part of a philosopher. 2012 02:00:38,080 --> 02:00:41,160 Speaker 1: He's an interesting guy. Oh that the human hierarchy of 2013 02:00:41,320 --> 02:00:47,560 Speaker 1: animals is something that I find really terrible. It's you. You, 2014 02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:49,520 Speaker 1: you'd get a lot of advantage out of that. You know. 2015 02:00:51,200 --> 02:00:56,000 Speaker 1: Do I get a personally know what he's saying? You do? Oh? Yeah, yeah, sure, 2016 02:00:56,040 --> 02:01:00,000 Speaker 1: I know what. I know what you've been eating. Um 2017 02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:02,640 Speaker 1: all right, seth, sorry, um, just so we don't have 2018 02:01:02,640 --> 02:01:05,200 Speaker 1: to deal with it next time we podcast E K G. May. 2019 02:01:05,280 --> 02:01:07,920 Speaker 1: I just did a quick search, read three quick different articles. 2020 02:01:08,120 --> 02:01:11,280 Speaker 1: And they do because the main purpose is to do 2021 02:01:11,320 --> 02:01:14,160 Speaker 1: it quickly to end up with a better quality flesh. 2022 02:01:14,440 --> 02:01:16,880 Speaker 1: And so there's a spike driven usually right, that's right 2023 02:01:17,720 --> 02:01:22,000 Speaker 1: to kill it and then the process of bleeding and 2024 02:01:22,240 --> 02:01:25,320 Speaker 1: severing the spinal Helen Choe Helen Show and her boyfriend 2025 02:01:25,760 --> 02:01:31,200 Speaker 1: do it, and they have a special spike. That's right. 2026 02:01:31,240 --> 02:01:33,200 Speaker 1: I forgot all about it. He's got a special spike 2027 02:01:33,280 --> 02:01:36,280 Speaker 1: and a special wire and he takes the special spike 2028 02:01:36,400 --> 02:01:38,160 Speaker 1: and puts it in a special place in the fish's 2029 02:01:38,160 --> 02:01:41,040 Speaker 1: head and then runs the wire up. That's exactly right. 2030 02:01:42,080 --> 02:01:44,000 Speaker 1: I would think he's got like a little special driver 2031 02:01:44,120 --> 02:01:48,520 Speaker 1: for a spike. This is very particular about the placement 2032 02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:50,560 Speaker 1: of said spike. Now that I think about it, I'm 2033 02:01:50,560 --> 02:01:53,240 Speaker 1: glad you brought that up. The picture here looks very 2034 02:01:53,280 --> 02:01:56,520 Speaker 1: much like were you fishing with us out there? We 2035 02:01:57,840 --> 02:02:02,800 Speaker 1: had the fish raw? Was it especially good? It's good, man, 2036 02:02:02,840 --> 02:02:04,600 Speaker 1: we had a lot of it. It's a bummer when 2037 02:02:04,600 --> 02:02:05,760 Speaker 1: you get back to the dock and most of your 2038 02:02:05,800 --> 02:02:11,360 Speaker 1: fishes are eating up. Yeah, living in the moment um 2039 02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:19,600 Speaker 1: anything else, Yeah, no, seth bad. You'd be a bison hunter, 2040 02:02:20,080 --> 02:02:22,120 Speaker 1: I know. And you could have gone down and tried 2041 02:02:22,160 --> 02:02:26,160 Speaker 1: to implore them to extend the season. Yeah. I tried. 2042 02:02:26,280 --> 02:02:29,520 Speaker 1: I know I tried that. But no word of it, 2043 02:02:31,120 --> 02:02:32,680 Speaker 1: not not that I've heard of yet. I feel like, 2044 02:02:32,680 --> 02:02:35,080 Speaker 1: if it was gonna happen, what happened, right, Yeah, I 2045 02:02:35,120 --> 02:02:41,440 Speaker 1: think so, Sam. Final thoughts concluders, you know, I'm talked out. Really, 2046 02:02:42,200 --> 02:02:45,760 Speaker 1: you got water coming in over your waiters, bro. No, 2047 02:02:45,880 --> 02:02:47,920 Speaker 1: I think it's good. I'll stay. I'll keep my feet 2048 02:02:47,960 --> 02:02:49,360 Speaker 1: on the bottom. You did a great job, man, I 2049 02:02:49,360 --> 02:02:51,720 Speaker 1: don't want to do it. Someone had to do it. Yeah. 2050 02:02:51,760 --> 02:02:53,320 Speaker 1: I felt I felt like it was I felt like 2051 02:02:53,600 --> 02:02:57,280 Speaker 1: it was something you know, in the space we exist 2052 02:02:57,320 --> 02:03:00,400 Speaker 1: in as the company that we are, I felt like 2053 02:03:00,440 --> 02:03:02,720 Speaker 1: somebody had to talk about it, and I I didn't 2054 02:03:02,720 --> 02:03:04,840 Speaker 1: want to put that on anyone else, So I decided 2055 02:03:04,880 --> 02:03:06,480 Speaker 1: to do it myself. And it was. It's been. It's 2056 02:03:06,480 --> 02:03:10,360 Speaker 1: been a fascinating, a fascinating process, and uh, I hope 2057 02:03:10,360 --> 02:03:14,040 Speaker 1: people understand that trying my best to to give you 2058 02:03:14,080 --> 02:03:16,800 Speaker 1: the most accurate version of the truth and I'm not 2059 02:03:16,840 --> 02:03:20,440 Speaker 1: trying to preference it either way, will continue to be fascinating. 2060 02:03:20,600 --> 02:03:24,760 Speaker 1: It will continue to be fascinating. Miles Maulty, I'm gonna 2061 02:03:24,760 --> 02:03:27,160 Speaker 1: echo the praise that you've given Sam. I think you 2062 02:03:27,160 --> 02:03:28,720 Speaker 1: did a really good job of that piece. I think 2063 02:03:28,760 --> 02:03:31,080 Speaker 1: that's a really hard one to do, and I'm glad 2064 02:03:31,080 --> 02:03:34,240 Speaker 1: it didn't fall to me. You grad to find about 2065 02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:38,600 Speaker 1: flopping perch that that one. I feel like I can 2066 02:03:38,640 --> 02:03:40,680 Speaker 1: get my head around and I will piss off a 2067 02:03:40,760 --> 02:03:45,160 Speaker 1: lot fewer people. Yeah, you never know, though, You'll always 2068 02:03:45,160 --> 02:03:48,320 Speaker 1: find someone to get mad. I'm good at pissing people off. 2069 02:03:48,960 --> 02:03:53,880 Speaker 1: I've done that my whole career. Okay, do you want 2070 02:03:53,920 --> 02:03:58,160 Speaker 1: me to clarify my hierarchy of animals statement? I was, 2071 02:03:59,040 --> 02:04:03,160 Speaker 1: it's I is just excluding the human animal from that equation. 2072 02:04:03,360 --> 02:04:05,960 Speaker 1: Oh I thought you're talking about position at the top 2073 02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:09,080 Speaker 1: of the higherarchy. No, no, it just it really bothers 2074 02:04:09,080 --> 02:04:12,480 Speaker 1: me where it's like, well, yeah, but that one special 2075 02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, it goes in the charismatic Magafana argument that 2076 02:04:15,640 --> 02:04:18,000 Speaker 1: we always talk about. It just drives me crazy that 2077 02:04:18,080 --> 02:04:22,200 Speaker 1: people are so disconnected from what food is, so disconnected 2078 02:04:22,280 --> 02:04:26,880 Speaker 1: from the animals, yet they feel like glue trapping mice 2079 02:04:26,920 --> 02:04:33,800 Speaker 1: and ship like that. Yeah, slapping the glue trapping mice 2080 02:04:33,880 --> 02:04:36,120 Speaker 1: and getting worked up because some guys eating deer somewhere. 2081 02:04:36,400 --> 02:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, But I mean we play we play into 2082 02:04:40,080 --> 02:04:44,200 Speaker 1: that too on some level. I mean, most hunters get 2083 02:04:44,240 --> 02:04:48,400 Speaker 1: weird about, you know, when to eat a monkey, Oh yeah, 2084 02:04:48,600 --> 02:04:51,280 Speaker 1: or dog? Yeah, dude, I'm telling you what. Everyone bleeds 2085 02:04:51,280 --> 02:04:55,160 Speaker 1: in the hierarchy. Yeah, I put monkeys on the thing. Well. 2086 02:04:55,200 --> 02:04:57,280 Speaker 1: I remember when we were at the fish shack years 2087 02:04:57,280 --> 02:05:02,960 Speaker 1: ago and your oldest boy was challenging the hierarchy.
