00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: From Mediators World News headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: Cal's weekend review, presented by Steel. Steel products are available

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: only at authorized dealers. For more, go to Steel Dealers

00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: dot com. Now here's your host, Ryan cal Callahan.

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: A man in British Columbia, was smacked in the face

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: by a grouse earlier this month as he was driving

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: in his car into Prince George, BC. Everything kind of

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: went bright and I heard a ringing in my ears,

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: said Josh Seymour, an elected counselor with the local First

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: Nations tribe. The bird had somehow managed to fly through

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: the four inch gap between the top Seymour's open window

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: and the doorframe. An ornithologist told CBC News that the

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: odds of that happening are one in a million. How

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: an ornithologist is qualified to come up with those odds.

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: We'll never know.

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: The possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid because it is.

17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: The books in at twenty to me the odds. Grouse

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: will often flush at the sound of an oncoming vehicle,

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: but they usually end up in the car's grill or

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: front bumper. This grouse was actually pretty lucky to find

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: himself inside the vehicle rather than flatten underneath it. Seymour

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: was confused enough for the both of them. Took about

23
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: twenty seconds for me to realize I had been hit

24
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 2: because I was still trying to figure out why there

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 2: was a grouse in my vehicle. He at first thought

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: he'd been hit with a snowball. The grouse appeared to

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: take the whole incident in stride. Seymour posted a video

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: of the bird in his back seat, and he led

29
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: it back into the woods, mostly unharmed, but looking a

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: little more ruffled than usual. Let's catch and release spring season, anyway,

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: we're out there breeding gott to leave him alone anyway.

32
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: This week expensive trout, winter kill, fake meat, and stripe bass.

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: But first I'm going to tell you about my week,

34
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: and my week was spent out of the mobile Turkey

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: camp the Black Series Camper, my first excursion with the

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: camper this season, and was happy to see that my

37
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: winterization job mostly worked. A little wrenching left to do

38
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: on finding the hole in the instant hot water heater

39
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: and patching that hopefully, if not, if anybody knows someone

40
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: at Fogatti, which sounds like a fancy Italian sports car,

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: but they make tankless hot water heaters. Let me know.

42
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: The birds cooperated. The shooting was good, and the food

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: was great. Homemade brats, peppers and onions on hogi rolls,

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: butter basted saute delua, mule deer loin, and bowling as

45
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: on joki. We ate well. My girlfriend Sam and I

46
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 2: both got a tom and a jacopiece. The action started

47
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: out outrageously good. Then the weather changed, as did the

48
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: temperament of the birds. We started out by calling in

49
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: birds from like a quarter mile away, was super awesome.

50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: And then we got this amazing thunderstorm, big lightning, thunder,

51
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: temperature dropped, dumped a bunch of rain thirty five one

52
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: hundreds of an inch to be exact. And I'm aware

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: that there's you know, turkeys elsewhere in the country where

54
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: fog is like a normal part of their day and

55
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: it probably doesn't affect them. Well, I will tell you

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: that in this part of eastern Montana, when the fog

57
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: hit after that early spring thunderstorm, well those birds shut up.

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: We got a lot of hiking in. Didn't find very

59
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: many ticks this year, which was awesome. And it's always

60
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: a win when you can get any turkey killed when

61
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: you have a bird obsessed labrador and a bird curious

62
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: border Collie underneath your jacket the whole time. So anyway,

63
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: we wound up with a couple of jakes and a

64
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: couple of toms. Turkeys are high on my list because

65
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: we have precious little white meat in the freezer. It's pheasants, turkeys,

66
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: and fish, maybe a chunk of mountain lion or a

67
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: pig from time to time. On top of that change

68
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: in protein turkey stock. Right now, in the background of

69
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: this recording, you may hear the little you know pops

70
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: and fizzes and steaming sounds of a pressure cooker. So

71
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: far this spring I have put up twenty six quarts

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: of turkey stock and two quartz of peacock stock. That

73
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: stuff is like gold. It's great for sauces, soups, pastas rices,

74
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: just to drink on a cold day whatever. And by

75
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: canning it, I don't tie up precious freezer space. One

76
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: tip I have for you in regards to birds, I

77
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: use my steel lopping shears to cut through the carcasses

78
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 2: about every two inches. By breaking open all those hollow bones,

79
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: you get a better stock in less time, and you

80
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: can dispose of the broken down bones a bit easier

81
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: than dealing with like an entire carcass that's mostly attached.

82
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: The other fun thing about these birds is you can

83
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: really utilize the entire animal. At this point, I pluck

84
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: every bird, I debone the breasts, I keep the thighsand wings,

85
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: then everything from the beak to the toenails goes in

86
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: the stock pot. It is collagen rich, awesome sauce. You

87
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: gotta try it now. As you may have heard, this

88
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: is kind of on the Turkey business side of things.

89
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: Meat Eater has acquired Dave Smith Decoys, which is in

90
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: my Turkey decoy of choice for several seasons, so it's

91
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: awesome to have them a part of us, which is,

92
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: you know, really making me think about fall goose season

93
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: because they have some amazing goose decoys. If you never

94
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 2: use the sleeper goose shells in your spread man for

95
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: whatever reason, you don't think it'd be a game changer,

96
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: but it is, and Dave Smith has some really nice ones.

97
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: Other thing I wanted to tell you is we have

98
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 2: a spring sale coming up. I'm probably not supposed to

99
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: tell you about it this week, but by the time

100
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: you hear this, you may be getting around to it anyway.

101
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: May sixteenth through the eighteenth, all of our brands will

102
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: have some seriously steep discounts, and a lot of this

103
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: stuff is stuff that you will need or will want

104
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: to have this fall. So do your shopping right now

105
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 2: when it's on sale, and don't get all flustered when

106
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: you realize you're missing your gear a week before the

107
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: season and then you know you got to pay full

108
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: pop to get it on top of that, So by

109
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: it now while it's steeply discounted. Okay, Moving on to

110
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: the crime desk, A Canadian judge find a YouTuber six

111
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: thousand dollars for illegally catching eight cutthroat trout and Banff

112
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: National Park. That must be a wrong line, because I

113
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: don't think he was illegally catching I think he was

114
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 2: illegally killing. The YouTuber. A man from British Columbia named

115
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: Greg Ovens was filming a video series called The Thirty

116
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: Day Survival Challenge in the Canadian Rockies. According to the

117
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: Canadian Press, Owens was filming the series alongside an American

118
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: named Zachary Fowler, and both men have been contestants on

119
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: season three of the History Channel series alone. The Paarage

120
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: purchased fishing licenses, but said they did not realize the

121
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: lakes were catching release only. They also used live bait,

122
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 2: which is prohibited because it could introduce a microscopic parasite

123
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: that can be deadly to trout and salmon. Along with

124
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: the find, the judge ordered Ovens to post details of

125
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 2: his plea and sentenced to the YouTube channel where the

126
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: videos are located. As of this recording, I haven't been

127
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: able to find that video speaking of illegal fishing. Carnival

128
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: Cruise Lines has banned at least two passengers after they

129
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: were caught fishing from the deck of a ship. Caught

130
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: is probably too strong of a word, because the offending

131
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: anglers posted a video of their escapade on TikTok. That

132
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: video has since been deleted, but not before it went

133
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: viral and caught the attention of carnival cruise officials. The

134
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: video shows someone hand lining a fish that's just using

135
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: line of some sort, no route or real anyway, hand

136
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: lining a fish from the water several stories below the

137
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: deck while the boat is docked at Nassau in the Bahamas.

138
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: The short lived fishing trip violated multiple carnival cruise line policies,

139
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: which I just have got to laugh at because if

140
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: you've ever been on a cruise ship, all they do

141
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: is encourage you to gambole and drink and eat and

142
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: then eat, and then gambole and drink and eat. But

143
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: apparently a healthier diverse of fishing off of a boat

144
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: in the ocean is a bridge too far for carnival

145
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: cruise lines. Gentleman, you can't fighting here. This is the

146
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: war room. A Kansas man received multiple citations from Finny

147
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: County game wardens after they caught him, quote, fishing with

148
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: a nine millimeter handgun. Details are scarce at the moment,

149
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: but the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks reports that

150
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: officials seized a firearm that was used successfully to take

151
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: a fish in Garden City. The full sized Ruger American

152
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: handgun had been outfitted with a flashlight in case, you know.

153
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: The fish didn't start biting until after dark. Game wardens

154
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: noted in a Facebook boast that it is illegal in

155
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: Kansas to catch a fish with any type of firearm,

156
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: and if we're being honest, anyone shooting at fish in

157
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: the water is more of a danger to themselves than

158
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: others than to the fish, both because it demonstrates a

159
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: lack of judgment and because bullets can ricochet off the

160
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 2: water and hurt someone. Big thanks to Lee Thomason for

161
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: sending that in. A Montana man was sentenced last month

162
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: on a felony lasiac charge in connection with illegal shed

163
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: hunting in the Bridger Titan National Forest. Bozeman resident Joshua

164
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 2: Anders Ray was convicted of collecting shed elk antlers outside

165
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: legal dates for areas west of the Continental Divide in Wyoming.

166
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: These areas were closed to protect wintering deer and elk,

167
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 2: but Ray just couldn't resist the sweet, sweet smell of

168
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: snow covered antlers. That and he operated an online elk

169
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 2: antler dog chew business and wanted to get in ahead

170
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: of all the other shed hunters. Not only did he

171
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: hunt in an off limits area, but he was also

172
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 2: in the region a day before the start of the

173
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: legal shed hunting season. And this wasn't the first time

174
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: he'd been caught. Back in twenty twenty one, he was

175
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 2: convicted of a misdemeanor lasiac violation for the same behavior

176
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: in the same region. He was sentenced to pay fifteen

177
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: thousand bucks, But this most recent investigation revealed he hadn't

178
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: paid any of that restitution. He pleaded guilty to this

179
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: latest charge, along with violating his probation, and was sentenced

180
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: to ninety day of home confinement, a five year ban

181
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: from entering federal public lands, and a five year ban

182
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: on hunting. That's Steve speaking of the Lasia Act. In Arkansas,

183
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: hunter is facing fines in probation for poaching a bowl

184
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: cariboo in Alaska and transporting it back home. The United

185
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: States Attorney's Office charged fifty four year old Edward Bundy

186
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: after he killed the animal in Alaska while falsely claiming

187
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: Alaska residency. All states treat resident and non resident hunters differently,

188
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: but Alaska is especially strict about its residency requirements for

189
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: hunting big game. Court records showed that Bundy had the

190
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: cariboo ship from a tannery in Alaska to his Arkansas home,

191
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: which is where he ran to follow the federal Lasi Act.

192
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 2: He faces up to one year in jail and one

193
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars in fines, but a tentative plea agreement

194
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: shows Bundy getting hit with a twelve thousand dollars fine

195
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: in eighteen months probation where he is not allowed to

196
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: hunt anywhere in the world. He would also be forced

197
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: to surrender two cariboo and one black bear trophy to

198
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: the US Fish and Wildlife officials. Thanks Tommy Lesher for

199
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: sending that one. In. In Wyoming, officials are searching for

200
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: the person who shot a grizzly bear and left it

201
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 2: on the side of the road. Spokespeople for the US

202
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: Fish and Wildlife Service in the Wyoming Game and Fish

203
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 2: Department told The Cowboys State Daily last week that there

204
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 2: is an open investigation into the incident, but did not

205
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: offer further details. The large male grizzly appears to have

206
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: been shot from the side of the road between Yellowstone

207
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: and Cody, and wildlife officials were seen scouring the area

208
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: for clues. Media outlets are reporting local outrage about the incident,

209
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: and that's understandable. Seeing any animal go to waste on

210
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: the side of the road is terrible. Killing an animal

211
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: that is so politically sensitive is a setback towards the

212
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 2: goal of official recovery and state management as well. Plus,

213
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: you know you're just an asshole. We'll end this week's

214
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: Poaching Desk with a fish mystery. A fishery if you will.

215
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 2: The Maryland Department of Natural Resources is seeking the public's

216
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: help after thousands of trout were killed at a fish hatchery.

217
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: The DNAR reported on Facebook that someone closed a discharge

218
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: valve in one of the raceways at the Albert Powell

219
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: Fish Hatchery. These valves help oxygen circulate in the raceways

220
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: where the trout live and grow. By the time employees

221
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: noticed something was wrong, twenty five thousand fish had died

222
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: due to the lack of oxygen. The DNR says the

223
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: vand was struck at some point between eleven thirty am

224
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 2: on Sunday and seven thirty am on Monday morning. These

225
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: trout were set to be released for Maryland anglers during

226
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four season, and their loss is estimated

227
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: at seventy five thousand dollars, which is low think the

228
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: economic impact that surrounds the fishing public on the opening

229
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: day of the season. Gas station money, hotel money, diner money.

230
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 2: If anyone has any information about this instant, contact Jeremy

231
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: Miller at four one zero two six oh eight eight eight.

232
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: Moving on to the stream desk, the Colorado Supreme Court

233
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: is considering a case that could have a profound impact

234
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 2: on how anglers access public waterways in the centennial state.

235
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: Much like the recent case in New Mexico, this lawsuit

236
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: revolves around one simple question. Can anglers wade along a

237
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: river bottom that runs through private property? In most Western states,

238
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: the answer is yes, but not in Colorado. There the

239
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: courts have refused to say which rivers count as navigable

240
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: and which do not, and the legislature hasn't stepped in

241
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: to resolve the issue. Landowners generally allow recreators to float

242
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: through their properties, but some get upset when anglers touched

243
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: the bottom or the banks. That's what happened to Roger

244
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: Hill in twenty twelve. During that summer, the seventy one

245
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: year old man encountered a landowner along the Arkansas River

246
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: who threw rocks at him as he was waiting upstream.

247
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: They threatened him with rest the next time he visited

248
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: the spot, and they even shot at two of Hill's

249
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: friends with a handgun. The bullet struck the stream about

250
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: five yards from where the anglers were standing. Hill sued

251
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: those landowners in twenty eighteen, and over the course of

252
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: the next five years, the case has worked its way

253
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: through the courts. The latest update came in twenty twenty two,

254
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: when an appeals court ruled that Hill had what's known

255
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: in the legal world as standing. Basically, this just means

256
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: that Hill has a right to bring his case before

257
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: the court. But that decision was immediately challenged by the

258
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: State of Colorado, which has been fighting Hill's claims. They're

259
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: arguing before the state Supreme Court that the legislature, not

260
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: the courts, should decide who has the right to access

261
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: which waterways. Three outdoor groups, the Colorado River Outfitters Association,

262
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: American Whitewater and Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, addressed this question

263
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: in a brief filed with the Colorado Supreme Court. They

264
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: argue that in other Western states, court rulings about stream

265
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: access have then spurred the legislatures to work out the

266
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: details of that access. In Utah, Arizona, and Montana, court

267
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: rulings have confirmed river access, which only then moved to

268
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 2: the states to legislate. Quote. Were a court to affirm navigability,

269
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: the political process might then be activated to define the

270
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: scope and conditions of the associated access. But the status

271
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: quo is silence and inaction, which are no support at

272
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: all for the state's plea to deny hill standing and

273
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: leave it to politicians. In other words, if the state

274
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: of Colorado really wanted to clarify these issues, they'd let

275
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 2: the courts sort them out. Instead, they're kicking the can

276
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: down the road and hoping to avoid resolving these disputes

277
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: that might cut against the status quo and expand river access.

278
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: Quick sidebar here, and this is the opinion part of

279
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: the podcast. Where do fish keep their money? Riverbanks huh

280
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: uh No, that's not what I want to talk about.

281
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: I wholeheartedly believe that the benefit to the people of

282
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: the United States in regards to stream access far outweighs

283
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: the perceived property rights of some. And keep in mind,

284
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: those trying to uphold these ill gotten property maintain their

285
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: individual rights to wade within the high water mark throughout

286
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: the majority of the West. The United States was founded

287
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: with navigable waterways in mind as a means of connectivity

288
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: and commerce, and it's something that needs to be fought over.

289
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: If we kick the can down the road, the fight

290
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: is just going to get harder for the next generation.

291
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: When we read about cases like this, be it stream

292
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: access or corner locked lands like the Elk Mountain situation

293
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: in Wyoming. The thing that it comes down to me

294
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: is the short sightedness of trying to prevent the public

295
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: from accessing public ground. We're only on this planet for

296
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: a blink of an eye. How does it benefit you

297
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: in a meaningful way to prevent somebody from accessing public ground?

298
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: Go ahead and right in to Askcal. That's Asscal at

299
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: the meat eater dot com. If you got a good

300
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: argument for the other side, let me know. One way

301
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: you can help in this fight is to throw a

302
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: few bucks at the organizations I just listed. I know

303
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: for example, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers has a spring fundraiser

304
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: auction coming up. In fact, I think it's going on

305
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 2: right now. Get yourself something cool and help the folks

306
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: that are trying to make public land available to the public.

307
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: That's a novel idea. Moving on to the wildlife desk,

308
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 2: we're starting to get a clearer picture of how this

309
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: winner will affect hunting tags, and it's not looking great.

310
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 2: In Utah, for example, the Wildlife Board just voted to

311
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: decrease the number of deer and elk permits across the state,

312
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: including a thirty one percent decrease in deer permits in

313
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: northern Utah. You might expect hunters to be upset about

314
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: these reductions, and I'm sure many are, but I think

315
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 2: most hunters understand why they're necessary, and some are even

316
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: volunteering to not kill any deer this fall. In fact,

317
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: one Wyoming mule deer hunter has launched a campaign called

318
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: let a Deer Walk, and he's trying to convince more

319
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: hunters to do just that. Zachary Key as the president

320
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 2: of the Upper Green River Chapter in mulely Fanatics, and

321
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 2: he told The Cowboys State Daily that many of the

322
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: hunters he's spoken to have decided to sit out this season,

323
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: but that would be a problem for the Wyoming Game

324
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: and Fish Department, which relies on license and tag sales

325
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: to fund their conservation work. So Key had an idea,

326
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 2: why not use deer tags as raffle tickets. Hunters should

327
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: still buy their tags, but instead of filling them, they

328
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 2: can enter them into a drawing for prizes donated by

329
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: Wyoming businesses. The ideas already gaining traction are Friends at

330
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: Weatherby agreed to donate a prototype hunting rifle that isn't

331
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: even out yet. A motorsports dealership donated a polarist ATV.

332
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: Anonymous donors have put up five thousand dollars in prizes,

333
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: and Rusty Bell of the Game and Fish Commission agreed

334
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 2: to donate his Commissioner's tag, which is a big deal.

335
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: To enter the drawing, Hunters will simply mail their unfilled

336
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: deer tag to an address that still being determined. Key

337
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: said that any general season or special draw mule deer

338
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: wid white tail tag will be valid for entry, and

339
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: he expects to set a deadline for August first for

340
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: an August fifteenth drawing. The idea is well intentioned, but

341
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: it's worth pointing out that it takes some decision making

342
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 2: authority out of the hands of the Wyoming Game and

343
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 2: Fish Department. I reached out to Brianna Ball, a public

344
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: information officer for the department, and she told me that

345
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: while they appreciate the thought and concern behind the LEDI

346
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: Deer Walk campaign, they've already adjusted their license and tag

347
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: allocations to adjust for this year's winter kill. Antelope tags

348
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 2: were cut significantly and statewide limited quote of mule deer

349
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: licenses were reduced by forty three percent.

350
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 3: The number of approved and allocated licenses this year that

351
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: will approved are sustainable and will facilitate that rebound as

352
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: the impacaste game population. You know, we took a hard

353
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 3: look at our season and we made modifications after our

354
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 3: official season Kupo Bob.

355
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 2: Instead of passing on a mule deer this year, Ball

356
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: encouraged hunters to help improve mule deer habit The best

357
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: way to help populations rebound is to make sure they

358
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: have quality food over the summer, and there are lots

359
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: of ways for hunters to volunteer.

360
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 3: You know, there is multiple ways we can all come

361
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 3: together to improve meal deer habitat, and that's by volunteering

362
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: for habitat projects, purchasing aligning Wildlife Conservation plant athlete if

363
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 3: you are a resident, purchasing Supertai grasvel ticket, or even

364
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: getting involved in a focal concervationization here in Wyoming.

365
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: If you want to participate in the Ledi Deer Walk campaign,

366
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: I don't think you're hurting anything, but after you enter

367
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 2: your tag into the raffle, get out on the landscape

368
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 2: and get your hands dirty. Our mule deer herds will

369
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: need all the quality habitat they can get. Moving on

370
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 2: to the fake meat desk, Italy's majority government has backed

371
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: bill that would ban lab grown meat and other synthetic

372
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: foods to protect the country's food heritage and public health.

373
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: Thanks to Mark Garringer and his daughter Evelyn for sending

374
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 2: in this story. The bill would impose a sixty seven

375
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 2: thousand dollars penalty on companies that produce, export, or import

376
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: food grown from animal cells. This prohibition would also apply

377
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: to lab produced fish and synthetic milk. I don't believe

378
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 2: this last category would cover nut milks or helmp milk,

379
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 2: but it would ban cow's milk grown in laboratory. The

380
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: bill is being supported by farmers and agriculture groups who

381
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: worry that lab grown meats would shrink the market for

382
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: their products. We could only celebrate with our farmers a

383
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: measure that puts our farmers in the vanguard not just

384
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: on the issue of defending excellence, but also in defending consumers.

385
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Georgia Milani told a group of supporters. Environmentalist

386
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: groups and fake meat companies oppose the bill. They argue

387
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: that lab grown meat is safe and can help reduce

388
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: carbon emissions by taking more livestock off the landscape. Commentators

389
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: have also pointed out that Italy would not be able

390
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 2: to oppose the sale of synthetic meat produced within the

391
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: European Union. EU rules allow the free movement of goods

392
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 2: and services, so Italy might have a hard time banning

393
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: fake meat from being imported into Italy. The United States

394
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: Food and Drug Administration is allowing lab grown chicken to

395
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: be sold in the US, but the EU has yet

396
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: to approve the products. Moving on to the mailbag desk,

397
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: listener Jamie Auben from Massachusetts wrote in to tell me

398
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 2: about the new emergency measures that have been taken to

399
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 2: protect the stripe bass population along the Atlantic coast. The

400
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 2: Atlantic State's Marine Fisheries Commission Stripe Bass Management Board voted

401
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 2: earlier this month to limit recreational anglers to one fish

402
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: between twenty eight and thirty one inches. This adjusts the

403
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: slot limit from its current twenty eight to thirty five inches.

404
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: Jamie wrote in to ask why the board is only

405
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: reducing the slot size for recreational anglers without doing anything

406
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: to limit the catch of commercial outfits. Quote. I'm all

407
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: for conservation and helping out species and need, but the

408
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: commercial industry is still allowed fifteen fish under thirty five inches.

409
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 2: How does that make sense? Excellent and understand end question.

410
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: I don't have any inside information on why the Stripe

411
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: Bass Management Board declined to impose limits on commercial harvest

412
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: in this emergency ruling, but a few things are worth

413
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 2: pointing out. First, commercial fishermen don't operate under the same

414
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: management strategies as recreational anglers. They're limited by quotas, or

415
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 2: the total number of pounds of fish harvested each year.

416
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: States impose creole limits per day, but those fish are

417
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: then weighed and go towards the quota for that state.

418
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: Once the quota is reached, the fishery closes. Recreational anglers,

419
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: on the other hand, are only limited by daily creole

420
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: and slot limits, so if you have more recreational boats

421
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 2: going out on the water, more fish will be caught,

422
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: even if their per day limits are much smaller than

423
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: the commercial outfits. The Stripe Bass Management Board reports that

424
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 2: the recreational harvest in twenty twenty two was nearly double

425
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 2: that of twenty twenty one. By contrast, the average commercial

426
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 2: harvest in twenty twenty through twenty one was sixteen percent

427
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: lower than the app average commercial harvest from twenty fifteen

428
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 2: to twenty nineteen. This aligns with the board's goal of

429
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 2: decreasing commercial harvest by eighteen percent. The recreational harvest is

430
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: also much larger than the commercial harvest. In twenty twenty one,

431
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: total recreational harvest was estimated at one point eight two

432
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: million fish, while the commercial harvest that year was estimated

433
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: at six hundred and thirty four thousand fish. I can

434
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 2: understand why recreational anglers feel like they're getting the short

435
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: end of the stick, but if regulators are trying to

436
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 2: keep stripe bass from being over harvested, the recreational industry

437
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 2: is the bigger of the two fish. Commercial quotas have

438
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: also been reduced, even though daily creole limits per boat

439
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: are still much higher than recreators. I know that's a

440
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 2: small comfort to Jamie and other East Coast fishermen who

441
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 2: must now throw back those thirty five inch fish, but

442
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: when it comes to resource management, sometimes that's just the

443
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 2: way it is. Thanks for listening. Remember to write in

444
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 2: to ask cl that's asked Cal at the Meat Eater
