16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: It's the meat Eater podcast. But Yannie is selling Hunt

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: Eat t shirts telling about them Jannie Hunt to Eat

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: t shirts. My brother and I started this project maybe

19
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: three years ago now, really yeah, yeah, it started slowly,

20
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: we started talking about it, you know. But how it

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: came about was the fact that I love to hunt.

22
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: I love to tell people about hunting. I love to wear.

23
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to wear a hunting T shirt that represented

24
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: really the way I felt about hunting, and I really

25
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: didn't feel like I could find that at Cobells and

26
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: Sportsmans at the time. So we started making our own

27
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: hunt shirts. Let many states ago now Montana, Colorado, Texas,

28
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: and we have a couple just kind of blank hunt

29
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: Eat shirts, not state affiliated. Now I've always been able

30
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: to say because I'm always plugging Yanni's T shirt company,

31
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: his his T shirt Empire, because I don't, uh you know,

00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: I don't have any steak in the game, right back

33
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: me up on this. No, all you get is a

34
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: couple of free T shirts I guess it called free teachers,

35
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: and already have two many T shirts. But now that's

36
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: gonna change because Janni is actually um gonna be working

Speaker 1: and it's you know, he's got a Facebook page. But

52
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: it's more it's like hunting for restaurants is kind of

53
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: is the basis, but there's nothing there, you know. Uh,

54
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about not that now we're done plugging

55
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: Yanni's T shirt company. We're actually the thing I want

56
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: to talk about right now, Like the purpose of this

57
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: episode is to make a gigantic infomercial about the guide

58
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: book volumes that we've been working on called The Complete Guy,

59
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: The Hunting Butcher and Cooking, Wild Game, Buying One Big Game,

60
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: Buying two Small Games. But first I want to like

61
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: talk about a different aspect of books. And it's because

62
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: Janice my whole life, like my my whole professional life

63
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: or hunting life, whatever, both of those lives. People have

64
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: been telling me to read Jack O'Connor, who is You'll

65
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: hear many descriptions as the guy. He's like the granddaddy, Okay,

66
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: the first, the original what's known as a gun writer. Right,

67
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: he was at out their life for a bazillion years.

68
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: He was doing like the bulk of his hunting and

69
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: writing kind of in the post World War two years. Okay,

70
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: up and up well into the seventies. And if you

71
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: own a TO seventy, you own a TO seventy because

72
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: of Jack O'Connor. Right. He it was a great champion

73
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: of that cartridge. And I was guilty of having never like,

74
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: despite everybody always saying like, oh, you should read Jack O'Connor,

75
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: I never read Jack O'Connor. One of these people always

76
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: tell you about to read Jack O'Connor is because you know,

77
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: he liked to hunt Cousder and I like CU's dere um.

78
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: He's also a big sheep guy. So I started reading.

79
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: Yanni gave me a book. It's like the complete Jack O'Connor, um. Yeah,

80
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: some sort of like a compilation greatest of I think. Yeah,

81
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: it's been a very difficult read for me. Why. I'll

82
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: start out by saying this, I'll started saying, Jack O'Connor,

83
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: and then I encourage you, listener, I encourage you to

84
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: read some Jack O'Connor. What Jack O'Connor has going for

85
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: him is he's a fantastic writer. Okay, he's a he's

86
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: a great writer. Yes, when you read some of those stories,

87
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: I feel like when he's talking about even though it's

88
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: a warm beer because back then they didn't refrigerate their

89
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: beer when they're out camping. He talked about coming back

90
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: from accuse deer hunt and like sitting in like a

91
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: hot tent but cracking this like warm beer, and man,

92
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: when he describes it, I was like, man, I'm right

93
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: there drinking that beer with you. Great writer. Um has

94
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: unique ways of getting into and out of his stories,

95
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: you know, a phenomenal craftsman of words. But I just

96
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: like the like gun writer thing is always very troubling

97
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: to me because, like you get the sense rend O'Connor,

98
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: that guy wouldn't go on a squirrel hunt without a guide.

99
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: Do you think, yeah, he's just like he in some

100
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: ways the old gun writers and some gun writers they're

101
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: like they seem like trigger men. They are out there

102
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: to shoot right and everything else to them is just like,

103
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: besides the shooting, everything else to them is just like

104
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: details they can't be bothered with, right. But I feel

105
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: like back in his day's take me out so I

106
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: can shoot something. That's what I feel like their attitude is.

107
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: And he's got this thing too, like this like he

108
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: probably started this, the whole gunwriter thing where he goes

109
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: he's talking about shooting at these doll sheet and reading's

110
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 1: description brings to mind, now everyone's great fear is about

111
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: long range shooting, like out like long rain. And she

112
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: was like, oh, people are taking these shots. You shouln't

113
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: be taken. Yeah, But here's Jack O'Connor like bragging up

114
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: about taking three yard shots at doll sheep running full tilt, yeah,

115
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: and he's like aiming eight feet off the end of

116
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: its nose, gets up there, he's got one in the jaw,

117
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: one in the ass, one on the back, one through

118
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: the lungs, and then he goes into that dumb thing

119
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: gunwriters going to where he's like, okay, so he like

120
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,679
Speaker 1: fills this thing full of holes taking shots he should

121
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: never be taken. Then she drags it down to the

122
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: ground and he's like, oh, in the grain you know,

123
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: the or the hundred and sixty grain boat tail pushed

124
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: by fifty six grains of in a blank. Primer really

125
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: did his job, and like you didn't. It's just ridiculous.

126
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: It's like when you're reading gun writers now and they

127
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: always have that part where like we went to wherever

128
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: to to Africa to test out the new load, and

129
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: they talk about this hunt like in the bullet. Really

130
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: it's like really, like that's that's that's not how the

131
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: test things in real life. So you can't like act

132
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: like that's a test, right, It's just just making anecdotal observations.

133
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: And here you're anecdotal observation. It is based off blasting

134
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: away at adults. Sheeps is running full tilt. He's like

135
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: every shot the guy takes makes you cringe. He's got,

136
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: he's got. It was almost a hundred years ago. No, yeah, yeah,

137
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: so I just feel like it was there was there

138
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: were different ethics back then. I'm not talking about different ethics.

139
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking about it's just like, yeah, but it's the

140
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: same people's stuff are saying now. People act like, oh,

141
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: the old days, right, So people think about Jack O'Connor, right,

142
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: like the old people didn't take these shots that were

143
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, people were experienced and and um, you know,

144
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: like the old one shot, one bullet deal. And now

145
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: you got these long range guys taking shot nation never

146
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: be taken. And here's this iconic like everyone's favorite gun writer,

147
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: right taking ridiculous shots. The guys nowadays don't take. Yeah,

148
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: people still do take him. But I don't think people.

149
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll find many dolls sheep hunters are

150
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: shooting at full tilt running dolls sheep at three d yards.

151
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: I doubt it. I think a lot of guys would

152
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: be like nope. But here's the guy getting famous off

153
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: that stuff. He's going to take a crack at a

154
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: doll sheep where there's a U standing there in a

155
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: ram standing behind the you, and he can just see

156
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: the crest of its back behind the EU, and he

157
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: takes a shot seeing if he can't nick it spine.

158
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: He's taking ask shots, ear shots, and he like he's

159
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: just shooting. That's what I'm saying. That's how it was.

160
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: It was okay to do that back then. I still

161
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: think that now. Maybe not skimming one over the back

162
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: of a U and into the spine of one is

163
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: something that someone's gonna try today. But I still feel

164
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: like people are taking I mean, think about anlo. How

165
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: many dudes do you think are shooting at running animos

166
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: every day? I've killed running alo. Yeah. Like, I just

167
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: feel like now people are discussing that more in a

168
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: is this okay to do you know, ethics type of conversation.

169
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: We're back then it was okay. I mean look at

170
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: Art Young and Saxon Pope. Those boys used to launch.

171
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: They used to go on hunt trips with like a

172
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 1: thousand arrows because they see one game animal at a

173
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: hundred yards and would just start launching, you know, like

174
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: a war, you know, just raining arrows. And that was that's,

175
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: you know, the beginning of the Pope and Young club.

176
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: Yeah no, my owd man, that's a good point. My

177
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: old man was involved in Pope and Young way ago,

178
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: like in the fifties, right. He was bow hunting back

179
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: before their both seasons, you know. And he knew this

180
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: guy from the Chicago because he was big in Chicago bowman,

181
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: like a Chicago area archery club before he moved to Michigan.

182
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: I was born and there was some guy at this

183
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: club called Art Laha. I guess he was some kind

184
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: of big, you know, big swinging dick figure in uh

185
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: bow hunt at the time, and he had this video

186
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: he made or he went went up to Alaska and

187
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: just shooting, you know. And I remember he pulls up,

188
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: he's out with some Eskimo hunters off the west coast

189
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: of Alaska and pulls up on some walrus on an

190
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: ice flow and puts an arrow into a walrus. And

191
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: it's like the walters didn't even know what happened, right,

192
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: He's just kind of curious what had happened. It's like

193
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: the walrus just didn't even like register the shot. Remember,

194
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: it's just like a different that's what that was, a

195
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: real world test. That's pre that's pre Marine Mammal Protection

196
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: Act obviously. So you might have a point where just

197
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: like the standards have changed over the years. But I expected,

198
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: just after hearing about O'Connor all these years, I expected

199
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: to read it and have the guy who had some

200
00:11:52,240 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: reasonable things to say about making the shop, right, Like,

201
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: here's this old guy, the old guard, right, your master,

202
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: the original, and you read and you're expecting to hear

203
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: like just great insights about making the shot. Instead, it's

204
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: just a book of page after page after page of

205
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, five bucks came running by and we all

206
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: just opened up. We got order. We don't know if

207
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: we had any. Yeah, you were. You went in there

208
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: with expectations. That was where you messed up. He went

209
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: in there thinking you knew what what you're gonna read there? Um,

210
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: But he's a good writer. Yeah, No, I just I

211
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: feel like he was just a he was I mean,

212
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: what do you want to call it? A gun writer

213
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: or a trigger trigger an adventure writer. He just wrote

214
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: about the hunts that he went on. You know. Yeah,

215
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: it's been difficult for me reading reading Jack. Well, the

216
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: reason I gave you sitting on the I was sitting

217
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: on the couch next to my woman last night reading

218
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: a little Jack O'Connor. I haven't taken it lightly. I'm

219
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: reading to damn thing. My brother told me to read it,

220
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: and you and everybody. Yeah, the other guy still haven't read.

221
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: Every talks about his Rourke, like, what's his name? Ruark

222
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: Rourke ar some big African game hunter Robert. I gotta

223
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: read him too, But I'm kind of you know what

224
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm not into, like was he right in that same

225
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: time period? I'll read anything about hunting that was written

226
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: pre World War One. But I think I'm just not

227
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: cut out for post war post say post war, I

228
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: mean post World War two. I'm not cut off for

229
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: the post war generation of which my father was a member.

230
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: Who and here's his image right here on my desk,

231
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: sitting there with a pope and young Colorado black bear

232
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: that he uh killed. Yanni was commenting on that because

233
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: there's a pack of hounds there and you can no

234
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: longer hunt bears and hounds in Colorado. That and his

235
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: apparel dates that photo. And and before we started recording

236
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: your Jane was talking about how now you know where

237
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: we all run around in synthetics for mountain hunting. And

238
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: he's like, how did you manage all that wet stuff?

239
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: Cotton wool? Yeah, the dudes spend more time tending to

240
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: their duds or did they just spend more time wet? Yeah?

241
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: And it's all relative, you know. It's not like they

242
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: were any more uncomfortable than we are when we're out there. No,

243
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: keep mind too like this. He had spent a couple

244
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: of years hiking from southern Italy up in the Europe

245
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: during World War Two, living in a hole in the ground.

246
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: So imagine like, you know, just people who camp a

247
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: lot can't better you know, so at that way, like yeah,

248
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: maybe after that, like that generation of guys that fought

249
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: probably were able to deal with a lot of discomfort,

250
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: the same way that you and I will deal with

251
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: a lot more discomfort than people who haven't been camping.

252
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: You just learned to get you become accustomed to the

253
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: feeling of wet stuff of Um, watch it, I'm gonna

254
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: do this amazing segue right now. So O'Connor wrote a book,

255
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: and we're here to talk about a book that we

256
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: have that's coming out now, like right now, complete guy

257
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: to hunting, butchering and cooking wild game. Now, when this

258
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: whole thing started, I can't remember how it was, just

259
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: like it became this idea that I had and it's

260
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: the handful of the guys that I worked with at

261
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: zero point zero production. We started like putting together this

262
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: idea of this book because we had been accumulating a

263
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: lot of great images and and information and had the

264
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: luxury of really traveling around meeting a lot of phenomenal hunters.

265
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: The hell you're doing, Honnie sat in a timer um

266
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: and sold this book idea to the polisher I work with.

267
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: We just Speakling Grounds imprint at random House and sold

268
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: this book idea, and I mistakenly put down as we

269
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: were putting his proposal together, I put down the word complete.

270
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be the complete guide to hunting and

271
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: butchering hunting, butchering and cooking wild game. And I learned

272
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: over the following handful of years that you should not

273
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: throw around the word complete when talking about a book,

274
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: because as we started to outline the project, everything that

275
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: came up, you'd be like, well, should we have something

276
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: on this, should we have something on that? And you'd

277
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: always have to say, well, yeah, because this is the

278
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: complete guide. It should have been called the truncated Guide

279
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: the Hunting, Butchering and Cooking wild game, or you know,

280
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: the basic guide, but no, it's the complete guide. And

281
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: we worked on it for a few years. By the

282
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: time it was done, the book came in at seven

283
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: and fifty pages long. When I sat down with my

284
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: publisher and she kindly tried to explain that you just can't.

285
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: It's just very difficult. You just don't really make books

286
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: that big. So we were faced with this thing of

287
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: either trimming the book out now. When I wrote my

288
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo book, which is a narrative nonfiction book. Hey, it's

289
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: like a book that tells the story, it actually tells

290
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: two stories. Tells a story of very involved hunt I

291
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: did for Buffalo on a on a special lottery license

292
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: that I drew in Alaska. Tells that story, and then

293
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: along with that story, it tells the story of the

294
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: species of the creature you know, from the ice ages

295
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: up until the present day. Very dramatic story about an animal.

296
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: That was a narrative book that came in long. I

297
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: remember I caught a hundred pages out of that book,

298
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: and it was pain and full to cut those pages up.

299
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: And then the book's better, it reads better. It's like

300
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: I was never writing better. I'll probably I was never

301
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: writing as good and I'll never write better than I

302
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: was writing when I wrote my Buffalo book. I now know. Um,

303
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: I was pre marriage and pre kids. You're smarter. I

304
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: think you're a lot smarter before you get married and

305
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: have kids. Um. You don't agree with that, Yannie. No,

306
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: where's your brain down? It does it? Where's your brain down?

307
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: The exhaustion and you don't have time to read. Um,

308
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: But with this book with the guide book. It wasn't

309
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: like that. Man, I couldn't stand getting rid of the stuff,

310
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: and so we hit them this idea, we're gonna split

311
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: it into big game in small game. And it was

312
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: different than just taking like an exact on knife right

313
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: or like. It was different than just separating it out.

314
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: It just changed the whole nature of the project. And

315
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: that added we had already been over two years anyway.

316
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: That added another year into it to build old the

317
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: Complete Guide the Hunting, Butchering and Cooking Wild Game Volume one,

318
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: Big Game, Volume two, Small Game. A thing that's frustrated

319
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: me um. The name of the book has let a

320
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: lot of people to to to like write and ask

321
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: about like the recipe book, but the cookbooks or butchering

322
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: books they are that. Okay, the books are that, but

323
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: they're much much more in that. And the way this

324
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: thing works, I want you to feel right now like

325
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: you're watching QVC. You're watching a show, an infomercial show.

326
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: So just try to get yourself in that mind frame

327
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: or you're ready to call them with the credit card.

328
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: Because the way the book works is I have volume

329
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: one in my hand. Volume one is available now. Volume

330
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: two will be available a couple of months. Volume one

331
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: is divided into five sections. Section one, what is an

332
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: introduction than even section one. In Section one deals with gear,

333
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: all aspects of gear, with very heavy emphasis on answering

334
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: the types of questions, and we get many hundreds of

335
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: them that come into the me Eater website from both

336
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: new and experienced hunters about gear preferences. So it covers

337
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: gear up to I mean, from hunting out your back

338
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: door to hunting in the deepest back country. Around Section two,

339
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: I don't walk through he's a little bit more to

340
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: explain better section to his tactics and strategies. Okay, So

341
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: it deals with the basics of hunting and lays down

342
00:20:51,840 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: sort of a working vocabulary of different hunting methodologies hunting methods.

343
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: We'll talk about those a little bit more. Section three

344
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: is big game Species and Methods. In this section we

345
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: have very detailed profiles on fourteen of North America's most

346
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: popular big game animals from biologic details, how to read,

347
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: sign best hunting methods, archery, rifle, early season, late season calling,

348
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: lay it all out animal by animal Section four. At

349
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: this point that we're into section four, you're into the

350
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: three page of volume one. So there's three hundred pages

351
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: preceding this, right, but starting at page three you enter

352
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: into butchering, and butchering covers all aspects of of field dressing,

353
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: ordering even up to packaging for the freezer. Big game.

354
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: And it isn't just like how to cut up a

355
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: deer on a workbench at home. We deal with butchering

356
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: issues in back country skinning methods for you know, caping heads,

357
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: black bear rugs, everything, and I'm talking soup to nuts

358
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: or nuts to kidneys with great pictures back at all,

359
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: amazing pictures. Because here's the deal. If you normally go

360
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: on and buy but like what what, here's one thing

361
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: we're able to do. So we've made like sixty some

362
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: episodes of me Eater. Plus I've been hunting and swapping

363
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: pictures of my hunting bodies my entire life. So I

364
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: have a big catalog images, but sixty episodes of me Eater.

365
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: And the way the technology is now, we're able to

366
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: use screen grabs. Okay, so we're able to grab images

367
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: published published, more quality images out of footage to use

368
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: to enhance step by step procedures in the book. The

369
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: other images that well, I'll get to the images of

370
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: the mint. Finally, section five Cooking Big Game. Now this

371
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: section is actual recipes. I'm talking you go into your freezer,

372
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: open the door, pull out a package butchered, and process

373
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,239
Speaker 1: in the way that subscribed in section four, and what

374
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: you actually do with it, I mean teaspoon of this,

375
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: tablespoon of that. Recipes and these are highlight recipes, proven

376
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: great things that I love to cook. The friends of

377
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: mine love to cook recipes that we've kind of developed

378
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: over time by sharing information back and forth, things that

379
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: were inspired by some chefs that I know that I

380
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: like to cook. Wild Game was just like great recipes

381
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: and no make believe recipes. Like a lot of times

382
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: you open up a cookbook and there will be a

383
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: recipe like, you know, take some duck com feet and

384
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: put it on pasta. It's like, dude, that's not a

385
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: rest because you're not telling me how to make duck

386
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: on feet or assuming I'm going out and buying it,

387
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: then I'm putting on recipes Like if that's a recipe,

388
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: then then you might as well put one in there

389
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: called peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or butter and bread.

390
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,719
Speaker 1: You know, these are like real recipes that you build

391
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: from the ground up, not like so many recipes, like

392
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: like God bless them. But when I'm looking at a

393
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: Mario but Tally cookbook, I mean great cook obviously, you know,

394
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: a great guy, great cook. But a lot of times

395
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: like basically going down to the town. You're going down

396
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: to a high end Italian Delhi, buying three or four things,

397
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: coming home and mixing them together, and it's like you

398
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: didn't make any of that jump, like you didn't make

399
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: the panchatta. You know, it's like you're just like compiling

400
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: things that someone else made for you. This is like

401
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: real cooking, ground up full balls, from scratch cooking. All

402
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: that being said, I feel like they're not overly complicated

403
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: like everyone that I've tried out of here, you know,

404
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: read through a couple of times, I'm like, all right,

405
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: I can do this. The restes lay a foundation for

406
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: just understanding how to work with wild game. Right, if

407
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: you weren't doing cooked all the things in here, you'd

408
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: be like, I get it, because if you do, like

409
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: The Big Sky Roasted Head, which is based off a mountain,

410
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: my favorite mountain, one of my favorite mountain man books,

411
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: The Big Skuy by Guthrie Um, he always talked about

412
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: his characters in this book loved to roast mule of

413
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: your heads. So we had a great roast mule of

414
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: your head recipe where you're basically taking like you know,

415
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: it's it's like a it's a taco dish with some

416
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: jowl meat. Once you roast the head for that thing,

417
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: you'll never look at a head, pig, head, any kind

418
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: of head the same way. Again. You'd be like, man,

419
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: there is some treasure inside that head. You might not

420
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: go and make the tacos I describing the book, but

421
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna learn a lot about something that you've been

422
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: throwing in the you know, out in the woods or

423
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: in a dumpster for a long time. So it's meid

424
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: like build up ones foundation. Um, you wanted to talk

425
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: about top of photographer Jnath. Yeah, Well, starting with the

426
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: butchering section, I feel like I've looked through a lot

427
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: of other books have talked about butchering, you know, animals,

428
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: game animals and whatnot, and uh, it seems like it's

429
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: like great pictures without having the writing to explain it

430
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: or vice versa, but not really both together. And I

431
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: feel like we did a great job of you can

432
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: read it. And if you don't quite understand that, you

433
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: look right next to that and there's the image that

434
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, all right, that's that's what they're talking about.

435
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: There's that that pelvit crest you know they need to

436
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: chop out to, you know, to pull the uh, the

437
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: guts all the way through the animals. Yeah, no, I

438
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: think they're good. And we put a ton of embass

439
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 1: on that. And like someone on our team, Brittany Brothers, actually,

440
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean over all those years on top about we

441
00:26:53,840 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: worked on this, she was during all that time we're

442
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: writing this book, is operating and large as like a

443
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: photo editor to help find and pull out the best

444
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: images to explain everything we explained here. There's a beauty

445
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: quality to it too, because we use a uh, very

446
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: prominent hunting photographer named John Halfer. We hired John when

447
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: we're doing the recipe shoots, so we rented a house

448
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 1: and went up for a week and just cooked and

449
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: tested recipes, photographed recipes. Halfner did that, So all the

450
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 1: food stuff is John halferin working. If you go look

451
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: up John Halfter, you're gonna see like some hunting stuff

452
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: that will blow your mind. John halfern shot all that

453
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: at the same time, just out of the goodness of

454
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: this dude's heart, he opened up his vast catalog of

455
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: hunting images and wildlife images. Yeah, it rivals like anything

456
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: you see in Nagio. I feel like just going to

457
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: his website and just cruise around and look at his

458
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: images and um, you'll find yourself just lost and burning time,

459
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, and just taking to different far away places. Yeah. Yeah,

460
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: After likes to hunt. Man like, he likes to hunt.

461
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 1: But he's even said to me he'd rather he likes

462
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: to hunt with the camera, you know, likes the photograph wildlife,

463
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: and so we have a lot of great wildlife imagery

464
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: in here. Also the gear like so like jump backtop

465
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: about the gear stuff. We kind of like kick off

466
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: the gear section with a quote by even though it's

467
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: just trash talking gun writers, we kick off the gear

468
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: section of the quote by a gun writer that I

469
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 1: do admire greatly, Chuck Hark, the one and only. Let

470
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: me ask you a quick question, though, Are there any

471
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: others right now? You can just name off the type

472
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: of your head that you do admire. Did I admire

473
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: wore like a gun writer? No? And I'll tell you

474
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: why I'm gonna read the quote that kicks off the

475
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: gear section. I'm gonna read Chuck Hawks's quote. Don't be

476
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 1: intimidated by anyone's experience, including mine. There have been, and

477
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: still are a few good writers with vast experience in

478
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: the firearms field. There are also plenty of plain old

479
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: fools writing about guns and shooting, and plenty of younger

480
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: fools as well. Gun writers, especially those who have to

481
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: produce a regular column, love controversy. That column becomes a

482
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: beast that must be fed every month. So the columnists

483
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: is always hungry for something to write about, and controversial

484
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: ideas generate reader interest in response. Perhaps it is understandable

485
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: if they sometimes go overboard, Just don't go overboard with them.

486
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: The reason I put that the head of the gear section,

487
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: I can't remember who did you find that quote? I

488
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: don't Chuck Hawks actually contributed to volume two or Truck

489
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: Hawks writes this great treatise on the double deuce to

490
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: twenty two, most popular cartridge ever. He writes a great

491
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: piece breaking down the history and versatility and different ammunition

492
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: options for a small game hunter of the twenty two,

493
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: and it was great. He's the most reasonable gun writer

494
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 1: out there, and it's funny that his quote kind of

495
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: like takes a staff at his profession, because it is.

496
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: It's true. If you open up those things, like you know,

497
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: like newsletters, you get to be like ten overrated cartridges,

498
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: ten underrated cartridges, ten sleeper long range cartridges. It's just

499
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: like what in the world. So we try to cut

500
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: through in the gear section. It's just all the noise, okay,

501
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 1: because to be honest with you, this is gonna make

502
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: guys cringe, and it's something that people fight about in bars,

503
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, to be honest with you, a lot of

504
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: the distinctions to get drawn between calibers that, let me

505
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: put it different, there's a ton of distinctions and debate

506
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: happening between calibers that are just like you really can't

507
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: tell them apart in a hunting standpoint. No, it's just

508
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: like people like, yeah, I really can't decide between the

509
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: then the It's all it's fighting over nuances. You're fighting

510
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: over very little. And it's like if you're taking reasonable shots,

511
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, if you become aware of your capabilities and

512
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: you're realistic about your capabilities and you're putting your shots

513
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: through luans, it's just like people are writing and debating

514
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,959
Speaker 1: about points that are just pointless. Well, I think they

515
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: should be taking all that energy to talk about their

516
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: damn boots, right or yes, yeah, so much other stuff

517
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: about the calibers where it's the bullet construction or taking

518
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: time to you know, learn about shot places and wherever

519
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: it might be. But I think it comes down to

520
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: just like basic ignorance because people started fighting about caliber's. Yeah,

521
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: I had a guy the other day that did not

522
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: know that the thirty six and the three wind mag

523
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: shoot the exact same bullet. If you choose a hundred

524
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: grain thirty Cober bullet or eighty grain three Cober bullet,

525
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: you can put that same bullet and either one of

526
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: those two cartridges, just put it down, you know, the

527
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: barrel of the respective gun. But people just look at

528
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: one that says Magnum behind it and they think, oh, man,

529
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just like I'm throwing a grenade at

530
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: the animal versus just the old Pidley thirty at six. Well,

531
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: it's just not the case. One bullet. The only difference

532
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: really when it comes down to shoot that animals, that

533
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: one bullet might be moving a hundred feet or tunder

534
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: feet faster that. That's exactly the kind of information that

535
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: try to put in here is like helping people cut

536
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: through some of the noise and make good gear decisions

537
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: without getting bogged down in details. They don't want to

538
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: get bogged down it. But that doesn't mean that it's

539
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: like the thing I focused on on these books and

540
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: we talked about constantly is there not for beginners exclusively,

541
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: and they're not for experts exclusively. Every page in here

542
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: is gonna have something that's gonna surprise you because the

543
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: books give you opinions, right. You get Janice's opinion put

544
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: forth as an opinion on issues, you get my opinion

545
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: put forth as an opinion on issues, and you'll get

546
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: opinions given as such, given as personal opinions from many

547
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: of the best hunters I've been lucky to meet around

548
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 1: the country. The book is full of sections called ways

549
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: in on where like so and so like Chuck Hawks

550
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: weighs in on the twenty two Yanni tell Us weighs

551
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: in on his regiment his yeah, his regiment for practicing

552
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: archery ahead of a hunt. How would you put it? Um? Yeah,

553
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: just the preparation the basically the summer prior kind of

554
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: the year prior preparation. How do you know when you're

555
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: ready for a bow hunt? Basically? Like, yeah, how do

556
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: you know when you're ready to go on a bull hunt?

557
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: For real? Yeah? But I want to make a note

558
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: on that all the ways in I feel like it's

559
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: so reflective of how one becomes a hunter, becomes a

560
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: good hunter on their own because I've had so many mentors,

561
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, I can just saw the top of my

562
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: head list twenty mentors that have all been weighing in

563
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: on me for you know, thirty years, and you just

564
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: take a little bit here, take a little bit there,

565
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: and you kind of formulate your own program, you know,

566
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: and then eventually, you know, you can weigh in on

567
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, that that certain subject. But that's how I

568
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: feel like this book is, you know, you can just

569
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: go through there and you know, pick a little bit

570
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: from all these different people and then you know, go

571
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: forth on your own. Yeah, that's the point trying to

572
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: make again and again, it's like, don't discount the information

573
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: that you already know to be true. Like I would

574
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 1: never say, like, oh, pick this up and drop everything

575
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: you found to be true, because this is the real truth.

576
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 1: It's just different. It just it we're learning hunting works

577
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: differently than that. Yeah, and the subject is too vast,

578
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: too ever to do that. I used to always I

579
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: mean like I saw you shoot run into Carlac bullets, laot,

580
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: many things were great, love, I've never had a problem,

581
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: and eventually like grew suspicious of the bullet just because

582
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: people are talking about other bullets. I'm like, well, there's

583
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: must be something wrong with my own findings. Don't fall

584
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: into that trap. Like if it works for you, it works,

585
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: But this is gonna help you inform your thinking. And

586
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: it also gets into stuff like even though we're just

587
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: kind of like laughing about these endless controversies about what

588
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: caliber's best. We have a big section called cartridge normanclature

589
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: that breaks down what all these things mean. When you

590
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: hear people say they were out shooting at seventy four

591
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: oh five, or you know the difference between the millimeter

592
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: cartridges and the standard like three oh eight cartridges, the

593
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: seven six two by thirty nine, Like how to understand

594
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 1: these numbers and how to have a conversation with people

595
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: and when they name things, how do they get what

596
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: they're talking about? Not just because you memorize each particular

597
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: cartridge and what it means, but how to make sense

598
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: out of the numerical system used to describe cartridges. Right,

599
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: Maybe that stuff you need to be a better hunter,

600
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: but stuff you just need to be able to process

601
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: information better when you're seeing it. Um A lot of

602
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: stuff about rifle scopes, defining the terms that you see

603
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: when you buy rifle scopes and the terms you see

604
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: when you buy binoculars, and making sense out of what

605
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: those terms mean, which ones are important and which ones

606
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: are not. A section on muzzle loaders, including an explanation

607
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: of why you should if you're a versatile, well rounded

608
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: big game hunter. And that's really what the books trying

609
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: to make it a was a versatile, well rounded big

610
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: game hunter. Why you should probably think real seriously about

611
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: getting in the most loader hunting if you haven't already. Yeah,

612
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: and what look, just looking at that muzzle latter page

613
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: makes me think of something because I've just looked through

614
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: the first twenty pages here, and there are companies and

615
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: brands across the board. I think that's important to note that, like,

616
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 1: we weren't held to anybody's check when we were writing this,

617
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: this was done completely independently um. No company, even companies

618
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: I have great relationships with. No company had the door

619
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 1: into this book open to them. You will find recommendations

620
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: for things across the board. You'll find images of many

621
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: different types of gear. It's not it's just not a catalog.

622
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: Don't worry about that. A very thorough explanation of m

623
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 1: o A. What minute of angle means, how it applies

624
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: to you in your life. Rifle cleaning, A heavy section

625
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: on archery equipment, making sense of archery equipment, coming through

626
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: the bs of archery equipment and arrows and broadheads. Field

627
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: maintenance kits. A heavy section on hunting optics. How to

628
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: select optics, what they mean, What you need on a

629
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 1: backpack hunt. What you can do without on a backpack hunt.

630
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: How to decide if you want a X or ten

631
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: X binoculars, and the choice really kind of comes down

632
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: to that unless you already have a good pair. How

633
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: to make sense of range finders. Big thing about blade tools.

634
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: What blade tools you need on backpack and back country hunts?

635
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: What blade tools you never leave home without? Survival kits

636
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: and utility kits. I don't even use the word survival

637
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: kit anymore, because my kit a utility kit, I carry

638
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: that thing I could be hunting like cranes in Texas

639
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: or doll sheep in Alaska. I have a little baggy

640
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: that I switch out what's in it, but just my

641
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: utility kit. It's my emergency kit. And you can have

642
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: emergencies such as like a broken gun anywhere. So how

643
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: to have a kit that you are constantly upgrading and

644
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: adapting for what you're doing that almost eliminates or can

645
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: help eliminate the panic you have when you realize that

646
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: you should have something and you don't have it with you.

647
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: Maps and navigation tools. A very healthy spirited section on apparel,

648
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: How to layer your clothes, how to make decisions between

649
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: synthetics and wolves. Is camel clothing and scent control clothing

650
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: worth the expense? The answer is more comp located. Then

651
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: you might think a lot of stuff about staying warm,

652
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff about boots, including my opinion that footwear,

653
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: no foot problems ruin more hunts than any other problem.

654
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: When I think of people just having a bad time

655
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: on a hunt or having to call off a hunt,

656
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: footwear causes that. Yeah, And that's definitely a little more

657
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: true towards like Western Mountain hunting, even freezing your ass

658
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: hunting ducks in Michigan. Right, you gotta have the right

659
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 1: footwear to keep your feet warming, for sure. Yeah, but yeah,

660
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: the blisters and issues mountain hunts, for sure. But just

661
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: like feet problems kill people, feet ruined hunts. What doesn't

662
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: ruin a hunt is that man, I brought my thirty

663
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: OT six and should have brought my three hundred. That's

664
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: just not in real life. That's not a conversation. You

665
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: hear what you here is, dude, I should have listened

666
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: to you when you said that I should break my

667
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: boots in for real before I go on this trip.

668
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: What a waterproof from probably and know how to do

669
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 1: it because my feet have been went for three days

670
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: and I want to go home. Yanni's wonderful section on

671
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: waterproof and boots the tools necessary, then a big section

672
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: specific to back country hunting because it's like I find

673
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: that many guys, like in my age group, my level

674
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: interest in hunting that live in the East want to

675
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: do in their life. You know, they want to do

676
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: some bad country hunts. Man. They want to go on

00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: that Colorado LK hunt, you know, And it's intimidating to

678
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: like get into like what do I really need? What

679
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: do you carry? What is actually in your pack on

680
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: a backpack hunt? And I think that this will help

681
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: immensely and it's not pushing one product over another. I'm

682
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,759

685
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 1: basically it's grabbing good gear that I like and that

686
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: my friends like, and kind of rather than boring you

687
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: with the stuff that doesn't work, it's like the stuff

693
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:51,000

694
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: say yeah, I'm telling you why I think that they're

695
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: a waste of money. Keeping warm at night and you're

713
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: the stuff that like kind of what's in there, some

714
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: surprising things. I feel like this is where I maybe

715
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: learned the most because my main hunting career started, you know,

716
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 1: once I moved to Colorado at the age of nine,

717
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: team started guiding alkhins and on the same spot all

718
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: the time, and it was shown to me, you know,

719
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: because that's where I had to guide where you I

720
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: think it came out west and we're not guiding, we're

721
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: just hunting on your own. And so you just you know,

722
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: learned a larger chunk and ground and had to figure

723
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: out on your own how to find these sweet honey

724
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: hooles that I was pretty much you know, shown too,

725
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: and so I feel like you did a great job.

726
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: But really just breaking down like a um a method

727
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: of you know, looking at maps, talking to people, plat

728
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 1: maps and whatever, and little tricks to like go and

729
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: find your own honey holes, which is you know, that's

730
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: something that's an important thing I got into with this,

731
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: and I talking about public and private land, how to

732
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: get permissions on private land, mainly how to find spots

733
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: on public land, because I find that a lot of

734
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: guys have a vulnerability, Like you got a guy likes

735
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: to hunt. I've had a lot of friends fall on

736
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 1: this trap. Man. They like the hunt. They got this spot.

737
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: They hunt deer, right, nicolare every deer in the over day.

738
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: They shoot a deer and as their spot. Then all

739
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden something happens. The guy that owns it dies,

740
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: sells it, his his nephew gets old. Yeah, the guy

741
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: moved Yeah, that's only happened. Your buddy moves and they

742
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: never hunt again because they never figured out like how

743
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: to find hunting spots. It's like, oh, I helped my

744
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: mother in law's place, you know, and then what do

745
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: you get a divorce? You have a mother in law anymore?

746
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: And then it just hang it up because they can't

747
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: fathom the process of beginning to find hunting locations. Oh man,

748
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: And I'm going through it firsthand right now, like you

749
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't believe. I'm living that every day. I mean, I

750
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: moved to Montana, yes, and less than a year ago.

751
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: It's my first year lived as a resident in that state.

752
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: I've got a pocket full of tags, and yet I'm

753
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: looking at these maps and I'm like, I mean, I

754
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: have places that I'm gonna go and I'm gonna hunt

755
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: because I've figured it out, But like, I don't have

756
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: anything on my map circle that says go here, proven location,

757
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: so you know, and that's the thing to do. I

758
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: get into is like a lot of like not sneaky,

759
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: but a lot of things that people don't think about

760
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: trying totally. And I think that shows up even more

761
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: in the private land section because so many people I

762
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: think I don't know why now, it's it's that way

763
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: when you know, twenty years ago everybody's went knocked on doors.

764
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: But like people, I feel like, just don't do it

765
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: as much anymore, and don't think about trying to go

766
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: and find a free private land hunting spot like they're

767
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: out there and I got yeah, and I include in

768
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: here some strategies for doing that, such ASTHM, it's the

769
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 1: thing that's worked for me many times. As you get

770
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: your foot in the door with a squirrel hunting or

771
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: rabbit hunting permission, yeah, totally that you request in the

772
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 1: winter time when that guy's not getting his door beaten

773
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: down by people, and you proved to be a cool

774
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: guy who like comes out to hunt squirrels, knows how

775
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: to respect the property, knows how to close the gates

776
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: a little bit there, it goes a long way next

777
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: to you know, guy brings the guy some zucchini bread, right,

778
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: cook some kind of cool thing with the with the

779
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: rabbits that he got off the guy's property, brings him

780
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 1: by a little bit of that. Maybe even emails the

781
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: dude a couple of pictures saying, hey, man, I thought

782
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: you'd like to see um, the awesome dinner I made

783
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: with the squirrels I shot on your place. And he's

784
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: thinking that crazy, some bitch ate those squirrels. I like

785
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: that guy. And pretty soon he's saying to you, you

786
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: know what, you know, if you you know, we got

787
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: room out here, you know, if you want to come

788
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: out and hunt deer, you know, go ahead. Yea. And

789
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: again maybe it starts with a couple of does, but

790
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: then two years down the line, you gotta look down

791
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: the line and look into the future. And next thing

792
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's like, sure you can shoot a buck,

793
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: because it's happened to me many times. Yeah. I got

794
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: a guy. He's a friend of mine, but he's a

795
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: he's a landowner, and I've been out to his place

796
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: the hunt a few times. And after a while he

797
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: noticed that I never actually really shot anything on this place.

798
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: I'd kind of go out there just to kind of like,

799
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I'm gonna come up, but I'd want

800
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: up hanging out and doing stuff with him. You know.

801
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: That kind of won his heart in a way. I

802
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,720
Speaker 1: also tell just a couple of actual stories about stuff,

803
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 1: but also public land tricks you might not think of,

804
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: like something I like to do, and I've done with

805
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: some success now and then is be undercover in interview

806
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: hikers at trailheads, not telling them what you're actually trying

807
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: to drive at, but just talking to like, hey, what

808
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: do you see? What do you hear? You know, do

809
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: you guys see any blank up there? And you can

810
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 1: get some up to date information that if you jumped

811
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: out and said, yeah, I'm hunting Dad kept quiet. Sneaky

812
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: little things many of them how to read apps, a

813
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: bit about using trail cameras, and the main thing how

814
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: to access areas other guys are accessing. And I don't

815
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: mean because it's way off in the mountains. It just

816
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: could be because you know, you're like parking, you know,

817
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: alongside of power line and your hammer and ducks are

818
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: in this case big game, your hand, your hammer and

819
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: deer and some spot that guys aren't hung They never

820
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: thought to bring a pair of chess waiters with them.

821
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: And the first thing you gotta do is wait across

822
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: a couple of big ditches and also realized no one's

823
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: going over there. They all go into the other direction

824
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: because it's like they want to get away from the car.

825
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: Almost almost fought you on publishing that little tip because

826
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 1: I know I know guys that do it, and literally

827
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: they takes them an extra ten minutes of getting up

828
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,760
Speaker 1: earlier in the morning to in that way. They can

829
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: put them on across the river, take them off. They

830
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: stash under a tree, and they have haunting grounds that

831
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: are just like under people's noses. But people are like, oh, river,

832
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: keep driving. Can't get across that thing. You know, if

833
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: you hunt white tail or, you hunt pheasants and stuff,

834
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 1: and you don't have chess waiters sitting in the back

835
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: of your truck, your awn moron. Yeah, A big thing

836
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: about tags and licenses, just kind of breaking down tag draws.

837
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,959
Speaker 1: It's the thing people are always wondered about. Breaks down

838
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: over the counter stuff, How over the counter stuff works,

839
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:24,879
Speaker 1: How registration hunts work, how stuff like governor's auctions. Are

840
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: governor's tags good or bad? We talked about that and

841
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: kick that issue a long um. I'm talking like in

842
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: an ethical way. How do you feel about governor's auctions?

843
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: How you feel or like how to work? Now? How

844
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: you feel about how to work what's called landowner tags?

845
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 1: How to play the points game for dream hunts in

846
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: Western states? What are the toughest, coolest tags you could

847
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: possibly draw. M hm. I researched that little piece and

848
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: that was interesting to me and someone that haunts a

849
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: lot to really see what are some of the toughest

850
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: tags draw that you know most of us will never

851
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: ever draw. But I was surprised to find one on

852
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: the east coast of the country, and I'll keep that

853
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,240
Speaker 1: a surprise for you. Then we get into the methods,

854
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: and it starts off with spot and spot spots and

855
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: stock hunting, and I feel like this is it's a

856
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: basic overview if each one of these methods, but there

857
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: are points where it gets so detailed that I can't

858
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: call it just a basic overview of spot and stock

859
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: hunting anymore. UM got a map that shows you a

860
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: great way to already pick your glassing locations before you

861
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: ever even set foot in the country. UM. All different

862
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff on glass ng how to how to

863
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: use different methods of glassing, whether it's like how to

864
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: work or patch ground the pair of binoculars. Like you

865
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: sit down and here's like three sixty degrees of terrain.

866
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,359
Speaker 1: You don't glass it like you think you'll just sit

867
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: down and be like, oh, let start looking around my binoculars.

868
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: It just doesn't work that way. There's a system, there's

869
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 1: a way you break up the landscape and prioritize the

870
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: landscape and study it and chunks and that's explained here.

871
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: I mean you mean you right now just lost in

872
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: uh in reading? Yeah, we're just looking at the pretty

873
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: pictures binals versus spot and scopes. When is each appropriate

874
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: for spotting stock hunting? Things like what do people talk

875
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: about when I say you're gonna put them to bed? Okay?

876
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: Or how to plan stocks on animals you found? You

877
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: see them go into their bedding area, you see them

878
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 1: go into their feeding area, how to pattern their movements,

879
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 1: how to plan stocks according to wind intopography? Big issue. Yeah,

880
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: actual actual diagrams and pictures showing that stuff, Like, hey,

881
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: here's a picture. This is actual place that I saw

882
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: an elk, I made a stock, This is how I did,

883
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,800
Speaker 1: This is what the wind was doing. And um it

884
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,439
Speaker 1: just hammers at home, you know when you can see

885
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,959
Speaker 1: it in a picture like that. How the wind behaves

886
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: on a mountain like you always have like wind direction right,

887
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: but the wind gets squirreling in the mountains due to

888
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: thermals and the structure of a mountain and how to

889
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: like make predictions about what the wind's gonna be doing

890
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: and things that override dominant wind conditions. Okay, detailed stuff,

891
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: but very important. And anyone who's hunting in the mountains,

892
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 1: especially the bow, is gonna know exactly what we're talking about.

893
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: This is gonna make sense of some of the observations

894
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 1: they may have had or some of things they didn't

895
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: put together. Ambush hunting. Yeah, I love our illustration here,

896
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: and we've got to give a shout out to Pizza

897
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: Chevski because he did an incredible job with our illustrations.

898
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: And it's basically just an illustration showing six different ambush points, funnels,

899
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: pinch points, whatever you want to call them. And you're

900
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: probably never gonna see exactly what one of these looks like.

901
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,280
Speaker 1: But when you look at the whole overall illustration ation,

902
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: you get the idea of, Okay, when I'm in the woods,

903
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: this is what I'm looking for. This, you know, this

904
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,439
Speaker 1: would be a great place to set up an ambush. Yeah,

905
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: like how to anticipate funnels and pinch points. I learned

906
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: to start thinking about game in terms of funnels and

907
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 1: pinch points when I was a fur trapper because in

908
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: the fir trap you're looking at a grand scale. Okay,

909
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: how are animals just gonna move across the landscape? But

910
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: at the same time, how are you going to get

911
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: them to place their foot on a one and a

912
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:33,280
Speaker 1: quarter inch circle a trap pan? So I really started

913
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 1: to think about stuff that way. I also started to

914
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: be like, why do always catch fox here? Not there?

915
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: And you step back and look at aerial photography and

916
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, man, I can't believe. I never realized

917
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 1: that this power line or gas line connects all this

918
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: different agricultural land and the animal can basically run down

919
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 1: this power line and hit farm to farm to farm

920
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: to farm, you know, and and travel on a clear path.

921
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 1: And you go like, that's why there's always five there.

922
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: It's not because like whatever, how the fields laid out

923
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: is because he got put there by his path, you know,

924
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: by the best way for him to travel the landscape.

925
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: So stop on that. Where we at with time about

926
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: fifty minutes? All right, everyone, I know you're enjoying the

927
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: Meat Eater podcast, and you're especially enjoying it because it's free.

928
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 1: And to keep it that way, we gotta take a

929
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: quick break to thank our sponsors. Still hunting, Yanni had

930
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,240
Speaker 1: you don't he worked because Jean he's a still hunter,

931
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: like he likes a still hunt for elt. And we

932
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: get into how still hunting is different than just walking

933
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: around in the woods m hm, which essentially what it

934
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: is and why I love it is love taking very long,

935
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: slow walk through the woods with rifle in hand. But yeah,

936
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: it breaks it down. Decoys and calling another very detailed,

937
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, long and and again these are the basics

938
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: in each uh species by species section. We revisit decoys

939
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: and calling for elk, we revisit spot stock hunting for elk,

940
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: and you'll actually find more words written in that section,

941
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 1: you know, specifically you know, to that animal about spot

942
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,439
Speaker 1: stockhunning that you do here in the basics section. Yeah.

943
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: That's the thing that I want to point out about

944
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: the books, like, if you get into the books start

945
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: reading them, is you can't just be like, oh, I

946
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 1: like to hunt elk, therefore I'll skip ahead and read

947
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: the elk section. It just doesn't work that way. If

948
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: you are if you just hunt white tails, I would

949
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: still suggest that you read the entire book because you

950
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: will constantly find insights and ideas everywhere in this book,

951
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: they're going to pertain to your life, your type of honey.

952
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: As a great example, Jay Scott and Dark Holborn of

953
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: Cobner Scott alfres A in on judging big horn rams.

954
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: The way that these guys methodically go about doing this

955
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: for big horn rams, you could take the exact state

956
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,439
Speaker 1: principles and apply it to any other animal if you're

957
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: into you know, judging, you know, uh antler size or

958
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. And these guys have to know

959
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: this because they're sheep guides. And when they get a

960
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: high paying client that comes in and he wants a

961
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: sheep of ex caliber, it's these guys that eventually say

962
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: that's the one you're after. And their livelihood, you know,

963
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: they're like business depends on their ability to say, like

964
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: what that thing is. So to hear them talk about

965
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: how to look at an animal. If you like to

966
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: hunt bears, and and you don't care about shooting record

967
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: book bear, you just don't want to be surprised and

968
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: walk up and realize you shot like a seventy pound

969
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: one year old female because you'd rather have two hundred

970
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:57,479
Speaker 1: pounds of meat. Learning their idea about how you look

971
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: at an animal, how you compare animals to other animals.

972
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: How you make these decisions is gonna apply to your

973
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: life as well. Or you might be in the area

974
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: where you have certain requirements you have to meet. It's

975
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: gotta be a brow time bowl. Brow time has gotta

976
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:13,439
Speaker 1: be six inches long to be able to kill elk.

977
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: Elk's gotta be a branch antler bull. It's got to

978
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: be a full curl sheep to be legal. Right. How

979
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: to look at animals and not just be blown away

980
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:22,960

1010
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: We start with antelope. Each section like this. You like

1011
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: the antilope section. It's got basics. Okay, we have each

1012
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: animal has a bar room banch. We'll tell you something

1013
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: surprising about the animal you do not know. Barroom banter

1014
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: is meant to make you a cooler guy to talk

1015
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: to at a bar. Could you be able to tell you, like,

1016
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll tell you one thing and you'll

1017

1019
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: how long only live in? What kills him is life

1020
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 1: and death, Breeding and reproduction? How that goes down for him?

1021
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: Kind of habitats. They'd like telltale signs, they'd like distribution,

1022
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: So it's your classic where it lives. What's cool about

1023
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: that is next to that is hunting opportunity State by

1024
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: state hunting opportunities map. Where it breaks down that animal

1025
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,439
Speaker 1: not just in his distribution, but whether it's what weather.

1026
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: Hunting opportunities in a state are widely available, of limited availability,

1027
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: where you have the animal but there's no hunting for it,

1028
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: and where it's just not present, so it's not an issue.

1029
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: If you look at the big horn sheep hunting opportunities map,

1030
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: it's all limited availability. There's no easy way to get

1031
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: a big horn tag analope, it's split half the state's

1032
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: widely available and we explain what that means and how

1033
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: to go about getting those tags. Half the state's limited availability.

1034
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: You gotta do a draw to get an analope tag.

1035
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: It will help you think about destinations if you want

1036
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: to go on that big Western hunt. Then edibility just

1037
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: thoughts and edibility general thoughts on hunting opportunities, and then

1038
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: hunting methods. So early we're talking about spot stock hunting,

1039
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: ambush hunting, decoys and calling. Okay, those then get applied

1040
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: in a very specific way to each of these animals. Archery, firearm.

1041
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: How to do all those hunting methods? How did that apply?

1042
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: Are the appropriate for the animal or not? If so,

1043
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: what particular things do you need to do to make

1044
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: those methods described in the hunting methods section work for

1045
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: the species. So we get an animal, then we're rolling

1046
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: the big horn sheep big orang sheep. For the hunting methods.

1047
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: The main thing I talked about big orange sheep is

1048
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: I get into some details about tag draws. The only

1049
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: way you're gonna hunt a big horn unless you're loaded,

1050
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: and I explain how to do it if you're loaded.

1051
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: If you're not loaded, how you're gonna hunt big horns.

1052
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna win a lottery tag for a big horn tag.

1053
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 1: This section is basically devoted to that if you have

1054
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: a life's goal of hunting a big horn, how do

1055
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: you start right now? At what age is it too

1056
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 1: late for you to start? What age is that you

1057
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: should start now? And here's how to kind of begin

1058
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: and how to kind of think about getting the tag.

1059
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: And if you read the rest of the book and

1060
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: learn how to spot in stock and still hunt whatever,

1061
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: you'll be prepared when you do draw that tag, will

1062
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: be prepared for a big one hunt. Black bear long

1063
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: section on black bear, because you gotta deal with coastal hunting,

1064
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: my hunting, hunting, fruit orchards, bait, pile hunting, hunting everywhere

1065
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 1: from Maine to California, spring and fall. It's a big subject.

1066
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: And our hunting opportunities maps. You know, this information changes

1067
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: because animals fluctuation. The population of these animals fluctuates, and

1068
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: so in ten years, you know these mass would be

1069
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 1: spot on. But working on the hunting opportunities maps was

1070
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: very interesting to me because you just have no idea.

1071
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: You just always focus on your own state where you live,

1072
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: or your region of the country, and you go, wow,

1073
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: you can actually hunt black bears. It looks like in

1074
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: more than half the states in our country. I had

1075
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: no idea until I worked on making that map. So

1076
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: I feel like out of every section when you look

1077
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: at those, you know just kind of give you more

1078
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: of a um you know, continental, We're not continent wide,

1079
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: but you know, countrywide view of where these animals live

1080
01:03:57,840 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: and where you can hunt them. Now, as far as like,

1081
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: we got an Appalachian bear hunter got it goes by

1082
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: the name Shing Daddy. He weighs in on bear on

1083
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: how to establish a bear bait station, all his thoughts

1084
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: on that. Then we got Jared Finker, Wisconsin hunter weighs

1085
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: in an archery stand placement for bear baits. So if

1086
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 1: you're hunting bow over bear bait, how you go about

1087
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: thinking about positioning your stand. We got another guy and

1088
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: Idaho bear hunter Chad Bart weighs in on places stand

1089
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: near bear bait. For rifle hunting, what are the special

1090
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 1: considerations you have to take into a fact when you're

1091
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: doing you have to think about when you're doing bait

1092
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: pile hunting with a rifle. All very different blacktail deer

1093
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: Okay range from California on up into Alaska. How to

1094
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: work topography for blacktail deer, the difference be a blacktail

1095
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: deer hunt in September and November. How the animals move

1096
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: and use their landscape. Buffalo, A little bit about buffalo hunting,

1097
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: a lot about how to handle big carcasses. That's the

1098
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: thing I think of when I think of a buffalo hunt,

1099
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 1: is you're handling a giant carcass. So early I mentioned

1100
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: like it doesn't matter what you do, you're gonna find

1101
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: good stuff in all these chapters. I don't care if

1102
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 1: you hunt moose, cariboo, whatever. You're gonna learn a lot

1103
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 1: about handling big carcasses and handling big carcasses in grizzly

1104
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: country in this section that you'll be able to apply

1105
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: to any situation you're in. Caribou. Careful detail on cariboo,

1106
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: and a lot about my favorite way to hunt them,

1107
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: which takes into effect the funnels. So early we talked

1108
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: about funnels, pitch points. We get into greater detail with cariboo.

1109
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 1: How lakes impact cariboo movements, How valleys and valley floors

1110
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: affect cariboo movements, How mountain passes affect cariboo movements. Some

1111
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: tricks to dealing with air carriers and bush pilots when

1112
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: you're trying to do a you're guided cariboo hunt. How

1113
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: to tell a male from a female, which is a

1114
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 1: lot more difficult than you might think, because is they're

1115
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: the only antlerd animal we have where the females carry

1116
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: antlers here in North America. Doll sheet a personal favor

1117
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: to mine, But again, the chapter has a lot to

1118
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: do with hunting in the mountains and living under very

1119
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: difficult circumstances. How to get in a position where you

1120
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 1: can put on a lot of miles in the mountains

1121
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 1: every day without wearing yourself out. Rick French and Alaska

1122
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: sheep God. He weighs in on the dudes and don'ts

1123
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 1: of dolls sheep hunting, and it is probably you know,

1124
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 1: it's a couple of hundred words that has more wisdom

1125
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 1: about sheep hunting in it than anything you're gonna find.

1126
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: We get into elk and Yanni worked tirelessly on the

1127
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: elk section. Break down some thoughts here Yanni mm hmm,

1128
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: including a sweet picture carved into a tree that Yanni

1129
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: found of an elk, which is kind of amazing looking. Yeah,

1130
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 1: it is great I'm glad, I know exactly Hopefully that

1131
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: tree still stands for quite a while I can go

1132
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: back and look at it. That's in Colorado. A more

1133
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: than likely a um what they call him arbor lifts,

1134
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: a sheep order that they usually come up from South

1135
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: America during the summer in Colorado. Herd sheep come from

1136
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: place all over the place. Uh, Peruvians and uh, I

1137
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 1: can't remera some me. Anyways, you see a lot of

1138
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 1: arbor lifts on the aspens in Colorado. And uh, it

1139
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: was funny because where where I found this. This is

1140
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: on a scouting little scotty mission I was doing, and

1141
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: I think like a week or ten days later, we

1142
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 1: ended up killing two cows within a couple hundred yards

1143
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: of that tree. Yeah, so that thing too. It's like

1144
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 1: this book takes time for beauty. Man, This book has

1145
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 1: a nod towards the beauty of the natural world. Yanni

1146
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: gets real heavy into yeah, you know, Yanni was an

1147
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 1: ELK Guyau's real heavy into calling, how to makes sense

1148
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 1: a game calls, how to use game call? Yeah, and

1149
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: especially here for ELK, you know. And again the illustrations

1150
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: that uh, you know, we came up kind of with

1151
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: the ideas and then you know, Pete Zachoski was able

1152
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: to actually put him into you know what now looks

1153
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: like art and you really get a good sense of

1154
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,759
Speaker 1: when we when we, you know, in text, talk about

1155
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 1: the T booning technique and what that means to kind

1156
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: of you know, basically parallel herd, you know, waiting for

1157
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,600
Speaker 1: the right opportunity to to bank in and make a

1158
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 1: move and try to get a shot. And uh again

1159
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: he put it into a beautiful illustration. Yes, say, we

1160
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:32,680
Speaker 1: talked a lot with the l khuns where you know

1161
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 1: a lot of great elk hunters and and I used

1162
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 1: to be an avid archery l hunter. As you kind

1163
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: of talk about like what's your strategy and you'd be like, oh,

1164
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: we kind of just get close to and wait for

1165
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 1: something to happen. Yeah, you know, like, well what does

1166
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: that mean exactly? And he honest breaks down with the

1167
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: thing he calls t bowning. He breaks down like what

1168
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: that means when you get into a herd, how you

1169
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: can stay near her without that herd? No, when you're

1170
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: there and what you're doing when you're waiting for like

1171
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: what we call something to happen happen and how to

1172
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: help it happen. Um and mainly just like staying close

1173
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 1: to elk without elk know when you're there. We have

1174
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,600
Speaker 1: a section called a bunch of things to keep in

1175
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: mind when calling out, just bullet pointed stuff that might

1176
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 1: not fit into the text, but it's just like stuff

1177
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 1: you gotta have. And again, ambush hunting is covered in

1178
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 1: regards to elk. Still hunting is you're covered in regards

1179
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: to elk. All of it's there. Have Alena. It's not

1180
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 1: a celebrated game animal. It should be this Mainly the

1181
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 1: goal of this chatter is to make you realize that

1182
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 1: you are insane if you don't hunt. Have Alina. Big

1183
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,759
Speaker 1: thing on moose. Okay, everything you want to know about

1184
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: moose hunt, Alpine stuff, low country stuff, main stuff, Alaska stuff,

1185
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: how to gauge legality of moose, which is very tricky

1186
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 1: for anyone who wants to go do a do it

1187
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: yourself moose hunt in Alaska where they tell you it's

1188
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 1: got to have a fifty and spread or four brower. Times.

1189
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:04,800
Speaker 1: You have never known stress in hunting until you've pulled

1190
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 1: the trigger on a moose and then you gotta get

1191
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,719
Speaker 1: over there. And find out if your calculations were correct,

1192
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 1: how to like think about that, and how to not

1193
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 1: make mistakes, and a very good definition and explanation of

1194
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: why you should never pull the trigger on a moose

1195
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: If you think he's fifty and that's all you're going

1196
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,679
Speaker 1: by is your estimation of him being fifty inches wide.

1197
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: You need more than that. You need more than oh,

1198
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 1: he's got to be fifty, um. How not to make

1199
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 1: mistakes that could land you very serious legal trouble with

1200
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: a confiscated animal potentially a confiscated truck and firearm like

1201
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 1: how to avoid these kind of mistakes, And that's what

1202
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 1: information is everywhere in here. How to handle more stuff

1203
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: on handling a big gas carcass, mountain goat hunting, telling

1204
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,880

Speaker 1: too much? What kind of mountain nearing equipment is gonna

1207
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: get you in trouble? What kind of mountaineering income uh

1208
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: equipment might save your ass? A picture of my wonderful

1209
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:19,240
