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

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

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

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: The animal rights group PETA that's People for the Ethical

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: Treatment of Animals recently published what may be the strangest

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: press release on the Internet to date. Pet president Ingrid

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: Newkirk announced her intention to bequeath various body parts to

9
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: well known figures and organizations. She's updated her last will

10
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: and testament so that upon her death, the clothing brand

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: north Face will receive one of her feet, Elon Musk

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: will receive a piece of her heart, and Donald Trump

13
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: Junior will get her spine.

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: What about the heart that.

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: You promised, tin Man and the courage that you promised?

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: Collard le Lyon when I'm scarecrow free?

17
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: Why is miss Newkirk decided to be the world's weirdest

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: organ donor? According to the press release, she's doing it

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: to quote ensure that she continues drawing attention to animal

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: abuse and exploitation even after her death, which you know,

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: drawing attention is what they do for the price of

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: millions and millions and millions of dollars. What's more, each

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: of her various appendages have a cutesy metaphorical meaning, like

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 2: a gross children's book. North Face is getting her foot

25
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: so she can quote give the company a kick in

26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: the behind for selling down and wool elon. Musk is

27
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: getting her heart because quote his cruel and deadly neuralink

28
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: brain experiments on monkeys, pigs, rats, and sheep indicate that

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: he doesn't have one. And Trump Junior will receive her

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: spine because if he had one, he might stop quote

31
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: trying to prove his manhood by gunning down magnificent, unthreatening,

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: and unsuspecting animals. The north Face, Musk, and Trump aren't

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: the only beneficiaries of Newkirk's generosity. She's been donating other

34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: body parts to Westminster Kennel Club, the Governor of Alaska,

35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: and the King of Spain. She would also like someone

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: to fry up or flesh with onions for a human barbecue,

37
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: and saw off her other foot for an umbrella. Stand. Now,

38
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: I know what you're wondering. Is it legal to send

39
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: your body parts to your enemies? Allah the Godfather? Unfortunately

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: for Newkirk, probably not, at least not in the United States.

41
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 2: The state of Virginia, where the Humane Society headquarters are located,

42
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: only allows anatomical gifts for the purposes of transplantation, therapy,

43
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: research or education. I suppose Newkirk might justify her gifts

44
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: as a way to educate her recipients about animal welfare,

45
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: but I think that's probably a stretch. This week, we've

46
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: got legislation, animals and so much more. But first, I'm

47
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: going to tell you about my week. And my week

48
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: was pretty spectacular. Loaded the truck up to the gills,

49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: hitched up the black Series, and headed northwest to Glacier

50
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: National Park Country. Stopped in some old haunts along the way,

51
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: bumped into a bunch of great folks, and met up

52
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: with a bunch of old friends. We floated, we fished,

53
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: snort retrieved like a crazy dog. We collectively wrangled a

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: pile of small children and a herd of dogs. We kayaked,

55
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: we swam, we ate heartily. My turkey wing experimentation still

56
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: needs work. I ran the wings in the souwed until tender,

57
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: then dropped them into a three hundred and fifty degree

58
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: beef fat and coated them in cream style. Barbecue sauce

59
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: I would say extremely tasty, but that meat was still

60
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: a little uh springy, and I wasn't quite able to

61
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: get the skin to crunch like I wanted it to.

62
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: It's good to have goals, right, yes, Jeff Shoulder, Yes, chef, Yes, chef.

63
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: Yes Jef chef. Oh yes, shif yes chef.

64
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: The burgers I ran through the grinder were a big hit,

65
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: along with the antelope ribs, which disappeared incredibly quickly. Then

66
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: we seared scaled skin on snapper courtesy of probably Kimmy

67
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: Warner or Stephen Ranella, scallops and octopus poached in California

68
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: olive oil and sea salt, then seared it in the

69
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: piea pan until crispy three pia pants. All tasty, but

70
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: the turkey thighs in Canada goose sausage really made people

71
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: go holy hell. I had no idea those birds could

72
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: taste so good. It was awesome. We fed twenty people

73
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: for dinner and probably just as many for lunch out

74
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: of the pie a night alone, and that giant pile

75
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: of food was all done after a day of rafting

76
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: and fishing for cold clear water cutthroat trout right there

77
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: on the shoulder a Glacian National Park. Now, I have

78
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: not been or attempted to visit a national park since

79
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: I lived and guided whitewater and fishing on the edge

80
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: of this particular one. I lived in the back of

81
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: my truck or eventually, in nineteen seventy two terry camper

82
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: trailer in my buddy's parents' backyard. I was pretty darn

83
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: nervous to return. We had such great times then and

84
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: I just didn't want to see the changes. In fact,

85
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: just driving anywhere in Montana right now kind of gives

86
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: me anxiety. Why the hell would you build a house

87
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: there and ruin? This landscape just constantly rolls through my mind. Then,

88
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: stack on top of that anxiety the skyrocketing park attendants

89
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: and reservation systems and all the rudeness that comes out

90
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: of people who are attempting to protect quote their vacation

91
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: from everyone else who's on vacation. And that's typically what

92
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: makes me think of a really good house project to

93
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 2: tackle on holiday weekends. Things are changing around Glacier National Park.

94
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 2: The Old West g which my add character has been

95
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: homogenized into a bland landscape of cliche signs and kitsch

96
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: kitsch is spelled kitsch and it means a term applied

97
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: to art and design that is perceived as naive imitation,

98
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: overly eccentric, gratuitous, or of banal taste. Now you know

99
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: that all of these signs, which are totally unnecessary, are

100
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: in matching font and paint and could probably be found

101
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: Also in Branson, Missouri, it appeared that the local employee

102
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: base had largely been replaced with tourism employees from all

103
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: around the world, which I suppose inject some cultures in ways,

104
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: and I'm sure it provides some much needed economic opportunity

105
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: in other ways. But you know, it was a busy

106
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: weekend full of people, and I stuffed my pockets full

107
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: of micro trash, pieces of candy wrappers, the always gross

108
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: and horrid toilet paper, cigarette butts, and more toilet paper

109
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 2: in a fire circle right next to a lake that

110
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: someone decided to just leave instead of lighting them on

111
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: fire because I suppose they didn't want to walk five

112
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: feet to get more water to dump on a fire

113
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: that they just put out, or you know, break their

114
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: back packing out that extra ounce of trash or so

115
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: found random bits of clothing, fishing poles, fishing line. I

116
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: did a pretty darn good job on being the trash

117
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: hauling champion of the weekend, but I was outdone by

118
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: my buddy's six year old son, who said, Hey, look

119
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: what I just found and he held up a gallon

120
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: ziploc bag full of Marlborough reds and uh loose marijuana

121
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: and half a pre rolled joint. All that to say, gang,

122
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: it was still totally worth it. The rivers and mountains

123
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: and lakes were still there. It was still an epic

124
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: landscape and beautiful and full of brush choked grizzly bear

125
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,559
Speaker 2: holes and bright clear cutthroat trout holes. Still a great

126
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: place to adventure and get together with friends. I had

127
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: a great weekend, and I hope y'all did two. Just

128
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 2: do me a favor and pick up a little trash

129
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: on your next celebration of public lands. Okay, okay. Moving

130
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: on to the legislative desk, the Washington State Department of

131
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: Fish and Wildlife is asking for public input on a

132
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: new wolf management plan that would downgrade the state's wolf

133
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,559
Speaker 2: population from endangered to sensitive within the boundaries of the state.

134
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: This new designation would not impact the population's federal designation

135
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: under the Endangered Species Act, and it would not permit

136
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: wolf hunting, but it would acknowledge the incredible recovery wolves

137
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: have made in Washington State, and it would give ranchers

138
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: more flexibility to deal with wolves who repeatedly attack and

139
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: injure livestock. The wolf population has grown from virtually zero

140
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: in the early two thousands to a minimum of two

141
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: hundred and sixteen wolves in thirty seven packs with at

142
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: least twenty six successful breeding pairs. The latest model suggest

143
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: that wolves have a greater than ninety nine percent chance

144
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: of recolonizing the Southern Cascades and Northwest Coast by two

145
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: thousand thirty, which is the only recovery region where there

146
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 2: are no successful breeding pairs today. The plan would set

147
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: a target goal of at least four successful breeding pairs

148
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: in each recovery region before the population could be considered

149
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: for delisting in the state. If you'd like to weigh in,

00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: specific Northwest. I have some good news out of Oregon

154
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: thanks to listener Ellie Gage for sending this one. In

155
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: the Oregon legislature passed a bill that would restructure how

156
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife commissioners are selected. The

157
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: previous commission makeup required one person from each of the

158
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: five congressional districts, plus two at large positions, one east

159
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: side and one west side. The new statute bases all

160
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: positions on the river basin regions. There will be two

161
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: commissioners each from the Northwest and West Central regions, and

162
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: one commissioner each from the Southwest, north Central, and Eastern regions.

163
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: The Oregon Hunters Association says this change provides greater representation

164
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: to the eastern portion of the state and ensures the

165
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: commission will no longer be stacked with three or more

166
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: commissioners from the Portland area. This bill passed ust as

167
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: wildlife commissions around the country are being pushed by animal

168
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: welfare groups to marginalize the perspective of hunters and anglers.

169
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: On the surface, at least, this bill seems like it

170
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: will have the opposite effect, which is good news. Out

171
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: of the Pacific Northwest, the Atlantic northeast is a different story.

172
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: The New York legislature just passed a bill to end

173
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: so called wildlife killing contests. These contests usually target coyotes, and,

174
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: as we've covered before on this program, they're used to

175
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: manage specific coyote populations that local residents believe are causing problems.

176
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 2: The bill makes it unlawful to quote, organize, sponsor, conduct, promote,

177
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: or participate in any contest, competition, tournament, or derby with

178
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: the objective of taking or hunting wildlife for prizes or

179
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: other inducement or for entertainment. Violators will be fined between

180
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 2: five hundred and two thousand dollars. The bill makes an

181
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 2: exception for white tailed deer, turkey, and bear, presumably because

182
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: harvest is limited to just a few animals per person. Interestingly,

183
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: the bill does not make an exception for fish, so

184
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 2: it's unclear whether bass tournaments and other similar contests will

185
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: still be legal in the state. The bill passed both

186
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 2: legislative chambers by wide margins and now heads to the

187
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: governor's desk. In other bad bill news, the Massachusetts legislature

188
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: is considering a massive bill that would further restrict gun

189
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 2: ownership in the state. The bill is one hundred and

190
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 2: forty one pages long, so we won't be able to

191
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: cover everything here, but it changes the definition of quote

192
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 2: assault weapon to include all semi automatic firearms capable of

193
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: using a detachable magazine and including any one of the

194
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 2: usual defining characteristics such as a folding stock. It then

195
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: prohibits all ownership of those firearms without including a provision

196
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: that would grandfather currently own firearms or allow for any

197
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 2: kind of registration process. The only exceptions to makes are

198
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: for gun owners who owned prohibited firearms prior to September thirteen,

199
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety four. The bill also requires all guns to

200
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: be registered with the state and increases training requirements to

201
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: own a firearm. If you'd like to weigh in, get

202
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: in touch with your state representatives and tell them what

203
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: you think. HD four four to two zero is what

204
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: you want to comment on. Thanks to Mike Kraus for

205
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: letting us know about that one. Moving on to the

206
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: wolf desk, biologists announced earlier this month that gray wolves

207
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: are thriving at the Isle Royal National Park on Lake Superior.

208
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: The report comes five years after authorities airlifted nineteen wolves

209
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: to the island chain in an attempt to save the

210
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: dying population and try to limit the amount of destruction

211
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: moose we're doing on the island to the ecosystem. The

212
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 2: scientist's annual report estimates that there are thirty one wolves

213
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: on the island, up from twenty eight last year. Said

214
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: the wolves appeared to be forming three packs, with others

215
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: wandering alone or in smaller groups. I know what you're thinking.

216
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: This is an actual biology based experiment. It's not a

217
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 2: reality TV show. Yes, it's an island. It's about survival,

218
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: and they do use the word alone very confusing. The

219
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: moose total has dropped about fifty four percent since twenty

220
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: nineteen to about nine hundred and sixty seven, due to

221
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 2: both disease and the wolves. This is good news for

222
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: the biologists working on this project, but not everyone believes

223
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: it was necessary in the first place. Moose first migrated

224
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: to the island around nineteen hundred, with the wolves following

225
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: close behind, and it's been a battle Royale on Isle

226
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: Royale ever since. Their populations rose and fell over the

227
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: next sixty years, until a lack of genetic diversity destroyed

228
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: the wolf population between twenty eleven and twenty eighteen. Biologists

229
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: noticed this decline and shipped in wolds from Minnesota, Ontario,

230
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: and Michigan to rebuild the packs. But moose and wolves

231
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: aren't the only predator prey duo to occupy the island.

232
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: Linx and caribou had the same relationship, but I don't

233
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: see anyone advocating that we rebuild those populations. Plus global

234
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: warming means fewer ice bridges will form on Lake Superior,

235
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: which means the wolves may someday wind up with the

236
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: same genetic diversity problem they had in twenty eighteen. Even

237
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: some of the park's biologists say they may need to

238
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: import wolves every decade or so. Still, biologists would like

239
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: to maintain the status quo because it offers a unique

240
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: opportunity for research. Ile Royal is the longest continuous study

241
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: of any predator praise system in the world, and researchers

242
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: have gained valuable insight into wolf behavior since the project

243
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: began in nineteen fifty nine. Maintaining a healthy wolf and

244
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: moose population might be worth it for that one reason,

245
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: at least, That's what I think the researchers working on

246
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: that project would say. If you're thinking this is all

247
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: just craziness, keep in mind that when Lake Superior would

248
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: freeze every single year, Ile Royal would then be connected

249
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: to them mainland with an ice bridge frozen lake, right,

250
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: and that would allow these animals to you know, exchange genes,

251
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: get off the island, kind of like that reality TV show. However,

252
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: due to changing temperatures global warming, that ability to get

253
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: to the mainland just isn't there as frequently. Thanks to

254
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: listener Andrew Whitman for sending us that story. Moving on

255
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: to the animal attack Desk, a rabid beaver attacked a

256
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: man earlier this month as he was swimming in the

257
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: Connecticut River in western mass The beaver reportedly attacked the

258
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: swimmer three times, and the man was taken to the

259
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 2: hospital with wounds to his arm and chest. The beaver

260
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: was still latched on the man's arm while his friends

261
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: helped him reach the bank. The Board of Health chairman

262
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: declined to tell the media how the large rodent was dispatched,

263
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: but he did say that police responded to the scene

264
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: and now the beaver is dead, so draw your own conclusions.

265
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: The man was immediately put on an anti rabies regimen

266
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: and he's recovering at home. Believe it or not, this

267
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: isn't the first time beavers attacked a human in this

268
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: area of Massachusetts, another swimmer got jumped back in twenty

269
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: twenty one, and he sustained lacerations from head to toe,

270
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: had chunks of flesh torn from his arms and legs,

271
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: a fractured finger on his right hand, and a lacerated

272
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: tendon on his left index finger. According to the YouTube

273
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: channel Mike's Videos of Beavers, which I encourage you to

274
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: check out, and trust me it's safe for children, a

275
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: beaver can now throw a six inch diameter tree in

276
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: about ten minutes. If you'd like to see for yourself,

277
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: you can watch the whole thing on Mike's Videos of Beavers.

278
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: I'd be real careful typing that one in, but again,

279
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: you can imagine the kind of damage those teeth could

280
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: do to a human arm. Not my kind of river trip.

281
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: And the next time you're out there and you hear

282
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: that big tail slap, a couple other things might go

283
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: floating through your brain. Big thanks to Jerry Me for

284
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: sending that one in.

285
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: Up.

286
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: In Oregon, a black bear attacked man after being shot

287
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: at twice for trying to eat the man's chickens. Craig

288
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: Lengthford told the Oregon Department of Fishing Wildlife that he

289
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 2: shot at the bear one evening as it was snuffling

290
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: around his chicken coop. He didn't know whether he'd hit it,

291
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 2: and the bear ran off. The next morning, Langford went

292
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: to investigate, and he found it very alive and very

293
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 2: angry black bear. He shot at the bear again and

294
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 2: it still didn't go down. Instead, it went after him.

295
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: Langford suffered injuries to his head and arms, but fortunately

296
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: for Langford, the bear didn't stick around to finish the job.

297
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: When deputies and wildlife officers arrived, they found and shot

298
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 2: a bear consistent with Langford's descriptions, and Nekruptcy revealed bullet

299
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: fragments from Langford's gun. Though officials didn't say which of

300
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: the two shots hit the bear or where it was struck,

301
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 2: they did remind residents that wounded bears are the most

302
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: dangerous kind of bear. Black bears rarely attack humans, but

303
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: wounded and cornered bears will do what most animals do

304
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: in that situation. Langford is expected to make a full recovery,

305
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: and chances are he might put a little solar powered

306
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: electric fence around that chicken coop and some solid bullets.

307
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: Another black bear attack, this one in Arizona, ended On

308
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: a much more tragic note, the Arizona Game and Fish

309
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: Department reported on Facebook that a sixty six year old

310
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 2: man named Stephen Jackson was having coffee in a remote

311
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 2: area about one hundred miles north of Phoenix. A black

312
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: bear attacked him in what appears to have been an

313
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: unprovoked or predatory attack. Neighbors heard jackson screams, but the

314
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 2: bear refused to abandon his victim, even after the neighbors

315
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: shouted and blasted their car horns. Eventually, one of the

316
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 2: neighbors retrieved a rifle and shot the bear, but it

317
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: was too late. Jackson had already died of his injuries.

318
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: This is the first fatal bear attack in Arizona since

319
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: the nineteen eighties, and officials are still trying to work

320
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: out what prompted it. They said there wasn't anything at

321
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: the site that would have encouraged the bear to hang around,

322
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 2: like food, a cooking site, or access to water. As

323
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: of this recording, officials are still investigating. For me, this

324
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: is an insult to injury thing, because when I'm camping,

325
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: one thing I darn sho or know is exactly how

326
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 2: much coffee I have. So to be attacked thus spilling

327
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: my coffee would have been a real angry cow bear encounter.

328
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. Moving on to the rhino desk,

329
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 2: Poaching continues to be a big problem in Africa, and

330
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 2: rhino horns are one of the most sought after prizes.

331
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: To help disincentivize poachers, conservationists have for many years been

332
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: sawing off rhino horns themselves. Without a horn, rhinos make

333
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: a pretty poor target for poachers, which, the theory goes,

334
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: helps ensure the continued survival of the species. Although those

335
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 2: de horned rhinos are definitely still alive, a new study

336
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 2: out of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that they

337
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 2: may not really be living. Black rhinos become less social

338
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 2: and less confident following their de horning, sort of like

339
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: if you made someone attend a fancy party wearing nothing

340
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 2: but a bathrobe. Would you still be able to have

341
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 2: a good time? Sure, but you're more likely to spend

342
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: most of the evening hiding in the bathroom. Rhinos are

343
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 2: the very same way. They don't like being around other

344
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 2: rhinos if they're not wearing their best Vanessa Duthay, the

345
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: studies lead authors, said, quote it's sort of like if

346
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: you put a muzzle on a dog. They're not so

347
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 2: sure of themselves anymore. They've lost their main defense and

348
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: their confidence. Day and her colleagues observed three hundred and

349
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 2: sixty eight rhinos and concluded that the territory of a

350
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: de horned rhinos shrank by an average of forty five

351
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 2: percent or four and a half miles. Male rhinos lost

352
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: around thirty eight percent of their territory, whereas females lost

353
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 2: about fifty three percent of their territory. The good news

354
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 2: for rhinos is that, like hair and fingernails, their horns

355
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: grow back. The bad news is that poaching is so

356
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: bad in some areas that conservationists have to DeHorn rhinos

357
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: every eighteen to twenty four months, and rhinos are still

358
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: killed by poachers. The d horning process leaves a small

359
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 2: amount of horn behind, so sometimes poachers will kill one

360
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: of the massive and dangered animals just for that small piece.

361
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: Moving on to the mail bag listener Anna Anderson wrote

362
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: in with what I thought was a great question about

363
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 2: chronic wasting disease and white tailed deer. She asked, quote,

364
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: if an animal is harvested in an area with known CWD,

365
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: with the best practice for containing the spread be bagging

366
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: the entire deer head and disposing of it in a landfill.

367
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: She's imagining a situation where samples have been sent away

368
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: to a lab and she's still waiting for the test

369
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 2: results to come back. Most state game agencies have a

370
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 2: page on their website that outlines best practices for deer

371
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,479
Speaker 2: carcass disposal. I reviewed several of these and they all

372
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: say pretty much the same thing. The ideal scenario would

373
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: be to dispose of the brain, eyes, spleen lymph, glands,

374
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: and spinal cord materials at the kill site. That ensures

375
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 2: that if the animal were to have CWD, the densest

376
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 2: areas of CWD, p brain, spleen lymph, glands, spinal cord

377
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 2: all remain at that kill site. If the entire animal

378
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: is taken away from the kill site, then yeah, and

379
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: I'd agree with you. You are transporting CWD. Those parts

380
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: I just mentioned should be bagged up and taken to

381
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: a landfill. If you've already transported the animal, the worst

382
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: thing you could do is take those parts to a

383
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: new site and distribute them on the open ground. Another

384
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 2: email caught my eye from listener Sean Miller. If you're

385
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 2: a Kansas resident and a white tail hunter, that might

386
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: sound familiar. Sean was quoted in several national outdoor media

387
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 2: outlets as opposing the new ban on trailcams recently passed

388
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 2: by the Game Commission. The ban applies to all types

389
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: of game cameras on all public land in the state.

390
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: Sean said at the commission meeting that he would like

391
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 2: to see trail cameras allowed during the summer, but not

392
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 2: during the deer or turkey hunting seasons. He said in

393
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: his email quote, the excitement of pulling a camera card

394
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: is like Christmas in July to me and many others.

395
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 2: I would stop short of saying I'm more excited about

396
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: pulling cameras than i am about hunting, but it's closer

397
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 2: than you'd think. I'm sure other hunters feel the same way.

398
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: Sean thinks trail cameras are a way to keep deer

399
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 2: hunters engaged during the off season, and he doesn't buy

400
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 2: the idea that a trail cam ban will reduce conflicts

401
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: between hunters. He points out that public hunting grounds will

402
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: be packed no matter what, and nothing is going to

403
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 2: keep squirrel hunters, deer hunters and duck hunters from having conflicts.

404
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 2: The idea that banning trailcams will keep them from being

405
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: stolen also doesn't pass the smell test for Sean. He

406
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: calls that a quote jackass problem, not a camera problem. Boy.

407
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: That quotes very applicable to a lot of things. The

408
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 2: good news for Kansas hunters who want to keep us

409
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: using trail cams on public land is that coordinate. To Sean,

410
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: this conversation is not over. He said that even though

411
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: the final commission vote was unanimous, all commissioners seemed convinced.

412
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: Even the chairman who committed to passing the regulation before

413
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 2: the meeting, committed to continued discussion on the issue, Sean said. Quote.

414
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 2: While he stopped short of saying changes would be made,

415
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: he stated there would be discussion about potential amendments to

416
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 2: the REGs, possibly allowing the trail cameras at certain times

417
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: a year. Thanks for the update, Sean. The debate about

418
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: trailcams is far from over, and Kansas is a great example.

419
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: I encourage Kansas hunters to stay engaged and keep advocating

420
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: for the policies you believe. All right, Thank you so much.

421
