And 127 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: one day me and my body, who was a chef, 128 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: we wanted to do a Hawaiian luile there, and we 129 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: went up to my buddy's dairy farm north of the 130 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: city at all kinds of wood and started building up 131 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: all our supplies, and we eventually built We dig a 132 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: pit seven feet long and three feet wide, and we 133 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: just chisel this pit into this little backyard area and dig, dig, dig, 134 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: And I would have thought someone would have called the 135 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: cops based on the hole, because I mean, I look 136 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: like you were going to bury a person in there. 137 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: We were actually laughing about that. And we got the 138 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: hole down real deep, and then it came time for 139 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: the pig rolls.

Well, 144 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: we kind of screwed up, and pretty soon it looked 145 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: like it looked like a scene from Bagdad Bagging the 146 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: early two thousands. I mean, just black smoke going up 147 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: through all these buildings, and way off you can hear 148 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: fire trucks coming.

The crowd 264 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: loved it. Now it's my turn. I decided to give 265 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 2: a full timeline of the newcom history of eating wild game. 266 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 3: This is some deep history, Clay. 267 00:15:59,040 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 6: You're ready to let her up? 268 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. So the storyteller has to wear 269 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 3: the coonskin hat, all right. 270 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: I'll see this photo up here. This is my family 271 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: around two thousand and three. This photo is one of 272 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: the best depictions in the nukemb photo album of our 273 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: socioeconomic status about that time in our life. That when 274 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: I told my wife that I was using this photo 275 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 2: all across the country as the entry point to tell 276 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: about our family and the way we've eaten wild game, 277 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 2: I was promptly scolded as she said, this is like 278 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 2: the most embarrassing photo that we own. But this is 279 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: my lovely wife, Misty. These are my two daughters, Willow 280 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 2: and River. Misty's actually pregnant in this photo. And we're 281 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 2: going to have our fourth son, our third son, and 282 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 2: then we'd have another son. But I have a wonderful family, 283 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 2: truly do. And I want to I want to walk 284 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: you through kind of the the arc of wild game 285 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 2: in our house because I grew up in a hunting family. 286 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: It was in the cold cultural background of the newcoms 287 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,479 Speaker 2: to be hunters. But my dad was born in nineteen 288 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 2: forty eight and that was kind of the ascension of 289 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 2: America's economic status, so he didn't want to eat wild game, 290 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 2: like it wasn't cool to eat wild game and so, 291 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: but he still wanted to hunt, and he loved to hunt, 292 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: and he did hunt. He was a very serious hunter. 293 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 2: I grew up just never knowing a life outside of hunting. 294 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 2: But there was a strange missing piece that we didn't 295 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 2: eat a lot of it. My dad was very diligent 296 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 2: to take care of all the meat and give it 297 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 2: away to people, which he did. But it's kind of weird, 298 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,239 Speaker 2: you know, And I always thought it was weird too, 299 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 2: and so when Mistery and I got married, I was like, 300 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 2: we're gonna eat wild game. And as you can tell 301 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: by this photo, we didn't have much money. We needed 302 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: to eat wild game that I was killing and Phil 303 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 2: go to the next slide. The next lide bumps up 304 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 2: about ten years. This is what people in our kinsas 305 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 2: do when you take before first day of school photos 306 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 2: for your kids. Grab up all your best animals, line 307 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: them up, bring the kids in, take a beautiful photo. 308 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 2: This is a Willow River bear and shepherd. The mule 309 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 2: is Elie May. It's a wonder that I'm here today. 310 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 2: After riding that mule, Elie Mace tried to kill me 311 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 2: three times. Ran off worst. The worst thing that a 312 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: mule can do is run off. It's not bucking or 313 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 2: kicking you gotta worry about. It's when you're on them 314 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: and they like just out of control run off. 315 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 3: That's what she did. That's eli Ma. The two dogs. 316 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 2: This dog in the front, this is newcom Zoe's Arc 317 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 2: Bluff Creek Fern, one of the finest hounds to ever 318 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 2: Treecoon and the Ozarks. The dog in the back, his 319 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 2: name's Jedi. I was once with a guy named Warner Glenn, 320 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 2: an old cowboy in southeast Arizona. 321 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 3: Y'all know Warner. 322 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: One time mister Warner, I was with him, was talking 323 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 2: to him about his dogs. He says, I asked a 324 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 2: very pointy question, how is that dog? 325 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 6: What does it do? 326 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 2: And he said he said, well, he said clad, I 327 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 2: wouldn't say it in front of him, but that dog 328 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 2: is not very good, son, And I wouldn't say it 329 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 2: in front of Jed, but Jed's not very good. So 330 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 2: that's Jed, the not very good coon dog. Sad story 331 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: started to bring the house down. Ferns dead. 332 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 3: She passed away last fall. 333 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 2: But these are my children.

As we close 510 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 2: down the evening, we do a Q and A from 511 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 2: the audience, and Spencer has a question for me. 512 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 6: All right, we're moving on. This question just came in. 513 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 6: It's for Clay. What wild animal would you like to 514 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 6: domesticate to keep as a pet. 515 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 2: Well, I've domesticated and had in hand many of the animals. 516 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 3: That live in my state. 517 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 4: Give me some exciting all right. 518 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 2: The best animal story that I've got is we had 519 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 2: a deer. We raised multiple white tailed deer. There was 520 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 2: a time in Arkansas when it was legal to have 521 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 2: up to. 522 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 3: Six hand caught animals from the wild in the rags. 523 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 3: Each family could have six. We raised several. We had 524 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 3: one named road Runner. 525 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 6: It was a little buck. 526 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 2: I've got four kids. All my kids were probably between 527 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 2: five and twelve when we had road Runner. He lived 528 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 2: in our home. I mean literally was like a dog. 529 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 2: He would come in and out. The older he got, 530 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 2: the further he would range from the house. He had 531 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 2: a green collar on his neck. There came a time 532 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 2: when he would be gone for hours at a time 533 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 2: and then come back and all this one afternoon fall 534 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 2: afternoon was musloader season. I went deer hunting about two 535 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty yards from my house. I sat on 536 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 2: the ground, nestled up by a big white oak tree, 537 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 2: had my musload over my knee. There's a deer trail 538 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: running down in front of me, and you know, right 539 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 2: at prime time, I see two deer coming and you know, 540 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 2: I go, here we go. And as they get closer, 541 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 2: I look and it's road runner leading a wild buck 542 00:29:59,200 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 2: that he had. 543 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 3: Picked up somewhere. It was a small buck. It was 544 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 3: like a forked horn. 545 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 2: And I don't know if the wind shifted, but the 546 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 2: wind was hitting me right in the back of the neck, 547 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 2: just parallel on this trail. And I just laid there, 548 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 2: dead still with a muzzlot across my knee. I wanted 549 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 2: to see what was gonna happen in my wind is 550 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 2: cutting this trail. Roadrunner hits my wind.

And I never moved and he started licking 556 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 2: my face. 557 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 3: And I never moved.
