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

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: Cal's weekend review, presented by Steel Steel products are available

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: only at authorized dealers. For more, go to Steel Dealers

00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: dot com. Now here's your host. Ryan cal Callahan, the

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: chief operations officer of Beyond Meat, was arrested last month

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: after he bit the nose of a man he was

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: fighting with in a parking garage. If you can't keep

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: all the alternative meat company straight, Beyond Meat is the

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: one that sells vegan burger patties. It's been endorsed by

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: luminaries like reality TV star Kim Kardashian and NBA player

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Chris Paul. Anyway, the company's chief operations officer, Doug Ramsey,

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 1: got into a fight in a parking garage following an

13
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: Arkansas Razorbacks college football game. The driver of a Super

14
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: U bumped into Ramsey's car, and the Beyond Meat executive

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: got out of his car and punched through the back

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: window of the soup. Now, I hate to generalize here,

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: but out of all the vehicle owners out there, a

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: Subaru driver may be the most likely to buy Beyond Meat.

19
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: Ramsey beat up the driver and in the process quote

20
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: bit the owner's nose, ripping the flesh off the tip

21
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: of the nose. He's been charged with third degree battery

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: and with making terroristic threats since he also allegedly said

23
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: he would kill the other driver. Now it's no secret

24
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: as to why we are covering this terrible, no good,

25
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: very bad day for Beyond Meat CEO here on the

26
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: weekend Review. It's because it's fake meat related, and fake meat,

27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is just a convenient way to ignore

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: rolling up our sleeves and doing the hard work to

29
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: do better in the agricultural world, and do better in

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: our food purchasing, and do better by not housing up

31
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of productive farmland. And if that's not good

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: enough for you, I'll leave you with this. Hungry is

33
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: defined by Oxford languages as bad tempered or irritable as

34
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: a result of hunger. The owner of the company that

35
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 1: makes fake meat was so angry that he was cited

36
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: for making terroristic threats, smashing windows, and biting human noses

37
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: made of meat and cartilage. This week, we've got the

38
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: spear fishing report, be careful out there and where the

39
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: chestnut grows, plus so much more. But first I'm gonna

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: tell you about my week. In my week as well

41
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: as This podcast is of course powered by steel Power equipment,

42
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: makers of the world's finest chainsaws. A lot of listeners

43
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: have written in and asked about what particular saw I'm

44
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: referencing when I say clean, quiet, dependable, battery powered saw.

45
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: Something that you can tuck underneath the truck seat or

46
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: put on top of a mule. Something that's gonna cut

47
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: a road free from a down tree just as easily

48
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: as clearing a trail for the pack string, or you know,

49
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: maybe splitting a big fat cow elk right down the spine.

50
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: And that's all, my friends, is the m s A one.

51
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: It's economical, more than enough for the variety of situations

52
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: you can encounter on the trail, and so light you

53
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: can throw it over the top of a tall mule.

54
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: You'll just have to trust me on that one. This

55
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: week I was down in southern California spear fishing with

56
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: some friends that I met around and through Rife International,

57
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: which is a really cool spear fishing company. Ryan Moore,

58
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: Mike rab Joel ol Nick. We set out of Daina

59
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: Point and hopped kelp patties, which are floating masses in

60
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: varying sizes of kelp that have broken off from their beds.

61
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Anything floating in the ocean can be very attractive to

62
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: small and large fish, so we checked the small kelp

63
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: islands on our way out to San Clementi Island or

64
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: sci One of these patties had a large school of

65
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty pound Mahi mahi or dorado, whatever you

66
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: want to call them. These are some of the fastest

67
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: growing fish in the ocean. They reach maturity between four

68
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: and five months of age and start spawning when they

69
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: reach a length of about twenty centimeters. Females spawned two

70
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: to three times each year, producing eighty thousand to a

71
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: million eggs each time. Mahi mah he live up to

72
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: five years, but rarely exceed four years. All that to

73
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: say they are a very sustainable species to target, as

74
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: well as a typically compliant species to target. They love

75
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: to eat, and they happen to be very curious around divers.

76
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Moore shot a nice one while I tangled myself

77
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: in the kelp patty because I was distracted by a

78
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: huge mola mola or ocean sunfish. The ocean sunfish looks

79
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: like somebody tried to draw fish. They did a great

80
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: job on the head and fins, but forgot to add

81
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: a body. The molamola resembles a floating fish head with

82
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: fins attached to it. The mola moola is the heaviest

83
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: bone fish in the world. There's the oceanic sunfish and

84
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: then there's the southern sunfish, and they weigh between five

85
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five hundred pounds. And here's a great

86
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: fact for you. Everybody thinks that ce jellies and salps

87
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: are their primary prey, but they're actually generalist predators that

88
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: consume largely small fish, fish, lava, squid, and crustaceans. The

89
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: sea jellies and salps make up only fifteen percent of

90
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: the diet. Females of the species can produce more eggs

91
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: than any other known vertebrate, up to three hundred million

92
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: at a time. And I watched five of these critters

93
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: around one kelp patty in the Pacific. He's a peeping

94
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: tom And while so doing, I lodged the float attached

95
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: to my spear gun deep into the kelp, preventing me

96
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: from killing a mahi mahi. Now, three hundred million is

97
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: a lot. For instance, three hundred million seconds is equal

98
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: to nine years, twenty eight weeks, five hours, and twenty minutes.

99
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: One centimeter is roughly the size of a p and

100
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: not that far off from the size of a fish

101
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: egg or some fish eggs. And three hundred million centimeters

102
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: is one thousand, eight hundred and sixty four point one

103
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: one miles. Just some fun reference for you. Three million

104
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: is a whole lot. Now, on this particular trip, we

105
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: really wanted to target blue fin tuna, which is a

106
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: totally different story, and we just didn't have the fuel

107
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: to pursue them. So we did a bunch of diving

108
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: off the coast Sei Catalina. We picked up some yellowtail,

109
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: which is hamachi at the sushi shop, but not actually

110
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: like the yellowtail amber jack. California yellowtail is s door salis,

111
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: which is very similar but not exactly the same. There's

112
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: a super fun trip. It's hard to describe how cool

113
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: it is, but if this gives you some context. I

114
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: had one open week in September, which I would typically

115
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: go find an elk to put in the freezer, but

116
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: instead of doing that, I went to southern California and

117
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: try to spear fish. Moving on to the Wilderness Safety Desk.

118
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: Being outside is the best part of hunting and fishing,

119
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: and there's nothing better than getting way out in a

120
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: remote area, but that can also lead to some complications.

121
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: As big game hunting seasons get underway around the country,

122
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: you do well to keep these stories in mind. A

123
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: man from West Michigan is currently recovering at home after

124
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: he was attacked by a grizzly bear on a moose

125
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: hunt in Alaska. Thirty three year old Nicholas Kopras was

126
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: hunting with some friends about three hundred miles northeast of

127
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: Anchorage when they stumbled upon a sow with cubs. Cooper

128
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: has told newspaper m Live that quote, we basically scared

129
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: each other. A scared mother grizzly is the worst kind

130
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: of grizzly, and she immediately charged Coopriss and his crew.

131
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: He put out his arms to protect his head and

132
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: managed to hit the bear with his bear spray while

133
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: she bit his arms, leaving multiple puncture wounds. The bear

134
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: ran away after another member of the group fired a handgun,

135
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: reportedly not at the bear. The hunters used a sat

136
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: phone him to call for help, and Coopers is doing well.

137
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: Another hunter from the lower forty eight encountered danger in Alaska,

138
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: but rescue crews and his family still don't know what

139
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: happened to him. Tennessee Native Steve Keel was hunting cariboo

140
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: with a friend in northern Alaska at the end of

141
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: August when he disappeared from their campsite. Keel's friend told

142
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: authorities that the former marine and lifelong hunter left their

143
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: camp around ten am on August to grab his backpack

144
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: about a half a mile away. When he didn't return,

145
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: Keel's friend assumed he had just gotten turned around and

146
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: didn't report him missing for twenty four hours. Search teams,

147
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: including a group of Kiel's friends and his sons, have

148
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: been searching the area for weeks without success. The search

149
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: is being taken over completely by Alaska officials, along with

150
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: help from local volunteers. As of this recording, there has

151
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: still been no sign of Keel elsewhere in Alaska. For

152
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: additional hunters, one lone hunter in a group of three

153
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: are missing along the lower cuska Quim River in southwest Alaska.

154
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: The single hunter, a man named Daniel Laureo, went missing

155
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: on the evening of September one, the day moose hunting opened.

156
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: He was with the hunting buddy, who said he's not

157
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: sure whether his friend went missing on land or in

158
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: the river. Another group of three moose hunters are thought

159
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: to have drowned when their boats sank. Searchers found life vest,

160
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: gas containers and a coat from the boat. They've been

161
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: dragging the river and using sonar to search for them.

162
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: As of this recording, none of the men have been found.

163
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: Another search and rescue effort here in Montana had more success.

164
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: Four hikers set out near the Montana Idaho border for

165
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: what they thought would be a short walk, but two

166
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: of them made a wrong turn and ended up spending

167
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: two nights in the wilderness before they were rescued by

168
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: a famous private search and rescue outfit called to bear Air.

169
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: The hikers, whose names have not been made public, had

170
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: only packed a lighter because they assumed they would only

171
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: be out for a short time, but that lighter came

172
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: in hand too. Bear Air reports that the pair eight

173
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: huckleberries and roasted frog legs over a fire to stay

174
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: fed and warm while they waited to be found, which is,

175
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: you know, probably a sixty dollar per plate meal. In

176
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: the swanky town of Whitefish, these days. In Vermont, one

177
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: hunter is in the hospital and another has been charged

178
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: with multiple felonies after one man says he mistook the

179
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: other for a bear. Twenty five year old Alex Goddet

180
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: has been charged with aggravated assault and negligent use of

181
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: a gun after he shot thirty five year old James

182
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: Cameron in the stomach. As far as I'm aware, the

183
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: shooting was not motivated by a Terminator, Titanic or Avatar.

184
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: Get away from her you. Both hunters were looking for

185
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: bears on private property when Godet says he saw what

186
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: he thought was a bear walking through the woods. Cameron

187
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: was in critical condition following the September twelve shooting, but

188
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: as of September twenty, he's in stable condition at the

189
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: University of Vermont Medical Center. And here's one that proofs

190
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: a solid quote from the television series The Wire. When

191
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: he come in to bull moose, it's best not to

192
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: miss Jeez stands alone. A Colorado bow hunter found just that.

193
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: He's currently recovering the hospital after he missed a bull

194
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: moose with an arrow and the giant ungulent turned around

195
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: and gored him. The hunter was fortunately carrying a GPS device,

196
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: which he used to send an s O S to

197
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: law enforcement. He managed to hike about a mile and

198
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: a half to a road where he is helped by

199
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: a sheriff's deputy and then airlifted to a hospital. Moving

200
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: on to the public land desk, the US Fish and

201
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: Wildlife Service announced on September fift that it would be

202
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: opening or expanding hunting and fishing opportunities on eighteen National

203
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: Wildlife Refugees from California to Illinois to Virginia. The final

204
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: Rule opens up thirty eight thousand acres of federal public

205
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: land and new hunting and fishing, including big game, turkey,

206
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: and waterfowl. The Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge in Washington, for example,

207
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: will open turkey hunting for the first time ever, and

208
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: the Erie National Wildlife Refuge in Pennsylvania will expand sport

209
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: fishing to new acres. You can find a full list

210
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: of all the new openings on the Google machine. Just

211
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: search for two thousand, twenty two DASH two thousand twenty

212
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: three U s f WS Final Rule. Now, you might

213
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: think that opening new acres for public land hunting and

214
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: fishing would be uncontroversial. In the outdoor wreck world. Usually

215
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: it is, but in this case you'd be wrong. That's

216
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: because while the US Fish and Wildlife Service is increasing access,

217
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: it's also limiting the use of lead ammunition and tackle

218
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: on some of the new refugees. The National Shooting Sports

219
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: Foundation or n s s F called the new rule

220
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: a bait and switch. The Sportsman's Alliance said that while

221
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: the group applauds the expansion of hunting and fishing, it

222
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: has quote serious concerns that the Fish and Wildlife Service

223
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: is moving forward with a lead band without fully considering

224
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: the consequences to the hunting and fishing community. The debate

225
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: surrounding lead use on public land is a can of

226
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: worms it would take more than a twenty minute podcast

227
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: to unpack. If you want to dig deeper into this issue,

228
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: please check out the article by Jim Heffelfinger on the

229
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: meat Eater dot com or episode three fifty four the

230
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: Meat Eater podcast. For now, you should know that the

231
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: federal government banned the use of lead shot for waterfowl

232
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: hunting on public land, but it didn't ban the use

233
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: of lead rifle ammunition or fishing tackle. Some wildlife refuges

234
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: allow lead, others don't, and that's nothing new. Either. This

235
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: new rule will phase out the use of lead ammunition

236
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: and tackle at the Potoca to River National Wildlife Refuge

237
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: in Indiana. The change will take place over the course

238
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: of the next four years. The rule states the Service

239
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: wants to ban lead at eight additional refuges within the

240
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: same time frame. However, based on the comments received, those

241
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: changes will have to wait to allow for additional public

242
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: comment periods to come. In the meantime, hunters and anglers

243
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: are encouraged at those refuges to switch to not on

244
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: lead ammunition and tackle. Plenty of education and outreach is

245
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: being done there. In other words, hunters and anglers, you

246
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: have another chance to weigh in next year. The Fish

247
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: and Wildlife Service is clearly concerned about the use of lead,

248
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: and the language in this rule isn't what some in

249
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: the outdoor community had hoped for. However, it's clear that

250
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: the Service took our comments seriously and we should continue

251
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: to make our voices heard. Moving on to my favorite desk,

252
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: the citizen science desk, a Delaware hunter discovered what some

253
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: call the holy grail of tree lovers, a full grown

254
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: American chestnut tree. Thanks to Benjamin Hoagland for sending this

255
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: one in adult. American chestnut trees were considered extinct in

256
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: much of the United States and definitely in Delaware until

257
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: an eagle lad deer hunter noticed an unusual tree while

258
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: scouting for deer at the Coverdale Farm Preserve. Brett Lannon

259
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: told local public radio station w h why Why which

260
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: is a great name, that his father taught him about

261
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: how American chestnut trees were wiped out by blight in

262
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: the early twentieth century. Chinese chestnut trees were imported from overseas,

263
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: and they carried a disease that made American chestnuts functionally extinct.

264
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: Some trees still exist in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina

265
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: and Tennessee, but the vast majority of them are small

266
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: sprouts that do not survive very long. Landin found the

267
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: very rare full size American chestnut because he noticed a

268
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: tree that didn't look quite like its neighbors. He broke

269
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: off a small branch and cut into the wood, and

270
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: what he saw reminded him of the American chestnuts he'd

271
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: seen as a kid. When he looked more closely at

272
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: the leaves, he noticed they were jagged and matt rather

273
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: than smooth and shiny. At that point, he knew he

274
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: had something special. He took a few pictures and marked

275
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: the spot on Google Earth and notified the local Nature society.

276
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: They confirmed that the tree is a pure American chestnut.

277
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: The plan right now is to collect the nuts and

278
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: grow the seeds that those see to also produce pure

279
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: American chestnut trees. Those trees will be planted throughout the preserve.

280
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: Hopefully in a few decades that lone tree will have

281
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: a few friends growing nearby. I'll also point out here

282
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: that the odds of a non hunting someone walking through

283
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: those woods and finding that tree are slim to none.

284
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: Citizen science easy to be involved in. Typically it just

285
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: takes observation. Moving on to the access desk. A controversy

286
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: in California's Newport Beach has reached a fever pitch after

287
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: a homeowner sued to keep Orange County from taking down

288
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: a fence that's blocking off access to a public stretch

289
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: of land. No one knows exactly who built a fence

290
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: or when, but it blocks access to a one third

291
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: acre parcel along Newport Beaches Back Bay. There are no

292
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: hiking trails or docks in the property, but the fence

293
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: slices off land from an upper Newport Bay nature preserve,

294
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: which does have hiking, biking and riding trails. A wealthy

295
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: homeowner named Buck Jones, which sounds like a name he

296
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: picked up during a quote acting career in the seventies,

297
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: is suing to keep the fence in place name rock Landers.

298
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: His partner's name is chest Rockwell good great names. He's

299
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: arguing that the county is taking actions that devalue his

300
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: property and that the parcel of land in question has

301
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: no recreational value. He purchased his house and surrounding property

302
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy seven, but he says the fence was built.

303
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: Problem is the parcel in question was part of a

304
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: land donation in nine by the Irvine Company to the

305
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: county on the condition it be preserved as park land.

306
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: Then in two thousand three the county dedicated to preserve

307
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: as a state public trust, so the land is and

308
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: was at the time of purchase, clearly public property. Despite that,

309
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: Jones tried to buy the property in two thousand nineteen

310
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: for an appraise value of only thirteen thousand dollars, which

311
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: if you've ever been down to Newport Beach that just

312
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: doesn't exist. Opponents of the sale said the land should

313
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: have been valued close to one point one million. At

314
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: the time, Jones had the support of then county supervisor

315
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: Michelle Steele. Again, think about it, Michelle Steele, Buck Jones.

316
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm a big, bright, shining star. Buck Jones had made

317
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: some donations two steals then congressional campaign, which just makes

318
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: the soup a little bit more tasty. Political donors shouldn't

319
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: be able to strong arm the public through donations. The

320
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: California State Lands Commission has demanded that Orange County take

321
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: down the fence and return the property to its rightful owners.

322
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: We'll see where this case goes from here. It's a

323
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: fun one. Moving on to the ancient history desk, scientists

324
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: working in Borneo have discovered what they believe is the

325
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: earliest example of a sophisticated medical amputation. Folks have them

326
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: getting their legs and arms cut off for a long

327
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: time between wars and wild animals. Amputations aren't exactly uncommon

328
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: and ancient human street, but these researchers found what appears

329
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: to be an amputation of a left foot done in

330
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: a medical context to save someone's life. They say the

331
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: procedure took place thirty one thousand years ago. Even More amazingly,

332
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: according to an article by Maggie Hudlow at the meat

333
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: eater dot com, this person survived the procedure and went

334
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: on to live another six to nine years after the

335
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: initial trauma. This skeleton is the oldest deliberate human burial

336
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: ever found in Southeast Asia. According to Dr Tim Maloney,

337
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: when researchers saw that the subject's left foot was missing,

338
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: they were immediately intrigued. The skeleton was classified as a

339
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 1: Homo sapien between nineteen and twenty years of age and

340
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: of indeterminate sex. The left fibula and tibia was cut cleanly,

341
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: with bone marks that mere modern day surgical amputations. In

342
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: other words, these cuts were intentional. This wasn't an animal

343
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: bite or fall. The team couldn't definitively identify a cutting instrument,

344
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: but they believe a sharp rock was most likely. They

345
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: also do not think this was done as punishment or sacrifice,

346
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: because the bones showed no signs of infection. This person

347
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: was well taken care of after the operation and buried

348
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: with respect in a marked grave. Prior to this fine,

349
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: the oldest known evidence of a surgery was a seven

350
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: thousand year old amputation of an elderly French farmer's arm.

351
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: Researchers believed that sophisticated surgeries were beyond the capabilities of

352
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: foraging societies, but this discovery debunks that assumption. The ancient

353
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: doctors had to realize the surgery was necessary and then

354
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: have enough skill to perform the operation and keep the

355
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: wound from getting infected. So, you know, this year, when

356

358
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: options than you think you do. After all, somebody managed

359
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 1: to do it thirty one thousand years ago. We're not

360
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,760
