1
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: From Mediator's World News headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is

2
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: Kel's we can review with runyankel Kell in now Here's Kel.

3
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: January one, the National Weather Service issued this statement via tweet.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: This isn't something we usually forecast, but don't be surprised

5
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: if you see iguanas falling from the trees tonight as

6
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: lows drop into the thirties and forties burr hashtag Miami

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: or Miami green. Iguanas a k a. The chicken of

8
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: the trees are cold blooded. When temperatures drop, they may

9
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: slow down to the point of losing their grip and

10
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: falling from their perch. Don't worry if you're hit. There

11
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: is in fact, an insurance building code just for that

12
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: description is struck by other non venomous rep tile initial encounter.

13
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: Do you think people are still covered in a secondary

14
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: encounter anyway. Shortly after the cold snap, Facebook marketplace started

15
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: showing ads for iguanta meet. The University of Florida cautions

16
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: adventurous purchasers to treat iguana just like chicken, from preparation

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: to cooking temp as they can carry salmonella. If you

18
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: need a recipe, just fry it one time, we got

19
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: a hold of a bunch of iguana legs and thighs

20
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: and tails and this was a few Super bowls ago

21
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: and fried them. They turned out super tasty, tender, and yes,

22
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: very much like chicken. This week we've got elitism, corrections, bills, laws, politics,

23
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: and more coyotes. But first I'm gonna tell you about

24
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: my week. And as you know, my week is sponsored

25
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: by Steel Power Equipment, the folks who make, for example,

26
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: my Steel ms A two hundred c battery power chainsaw, which,

27
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: for reasons I cannot remember, is sitting here on my

28
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: desk at Meat Eater HQ herring at me. One quick

29
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: correction first, before we get into my week. I posted

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: a picture on my Instagram account Old Cal four oh

31
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: six and mentioned the cooking method su vied, which I

32
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: said in the post translates to croc pot in French.

33
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: Holy cats? Did that rail people up so much so

34
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: that I actually have to take up all of our

35
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: precious time here at the weekend review to square this

36
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: thing up. First, This for everybody. Things that I didn't know,

37
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: and this from a well written listener. There is a

38
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: pretty great rule for when you should pronounce the last

39
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: letter in a French word. If the word ends in

40
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: a letter found in careful, the letters should be pronounced.

41
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: Note the accent on the e gives it an a

42
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: sound think cafe. Now. The rest of the consonance, with

43
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: a couple of exceptions, will be silent when found at

44
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: the end of a word. Thus, when a silent e

45
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: is placed on the end of word, it is there

46
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: to indicate the consonant immediately before it should be pronounced.

47
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: Following this, suvied should be pronounced suvied what they call it.

48
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: Second souvied does not translate into crock pot. It translates

49
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: to under vacuum. Now. I was trying to accomplish two

50
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: things with this one fair own blag la pleasantry, a

51
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: joke people to make a joke, and to say that

52
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: suvied cooking is as intimidating as using a crock pot.

53
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: In some cases less intimidating, as you don't have to

54
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: rush home in fear that your liquid is drying up

55
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: before you move on. I would like to thank Josh

56
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: Brahm's of La Auto Brewing and his ninety three year

57
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: old grandfather Don Don Brahms. Thank you for listening to

58
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: the radio show I do have to tell you, don

59
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: my ninety one year old grandmother just got an iPad

60
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: and downloads and listens to all sorts of shows. You

61
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: don't need your grandson for this. Don't let her show

62
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: you up. Anyway. It has been a whirlwind week. I

63
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: went back down to Mexico, fish for tarpin, best man

64
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: to Buddy's wedding. Kelsey and Monica, congratulations again and best wishes.

65
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: I know you'll be fantastic. Then I hopped to taxi

66
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: a ferry, another two plus our taxi two flights and

67
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: a rental car from St. Louis to Springfield, Illinois, where

68
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: I met up with some old pal Steven Ronell and Doug.

69
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: During Steve and I had a really fun two hour

70
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: long question and answer or Q and A session as

71
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: we call it in the biz, in front of a

72
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: bunch of wildlife professionals and future wildlife professionals at the

73
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: Midwest Plenary Session of the Department of Natural Resources, which

74
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed. Then we hauled butt and barely made

75
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: her playing back to Bozeman. The next day. Janice patel Us,

76
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: Anthony Lacotte myself met up and attended a panel discussion

77
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: hosted by the Montana Conservation Corps or m c C.

78
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: You down with m c C, Yeah, you know me.

79
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: MCC does some great stuff. They get young people outside,

80
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: teach all sorts of skills, and they work their butts

81
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: off in the fashion of the c c C or

82
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: the Civilian Conservation Corps, not necessarily building things like the

83
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: Grand Coolie Dam, but clearing, building and maintaining trails. In Montana.

84
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: Last year, the m c C put two thousand miles

85
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: of trail under their respective belts, which is pretty darn impressive.

86
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: That's hard work. Okay, now that everybody's received their due,

87
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to get to what I am wanting to

88
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: get at. We received a question in Springfield, and I

89
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: heard a statement from the panelists that were similar here

90
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: in Bozeman. In Springfield it was don't you think hunting

91
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: is elitist? At the m c C, the statement was

92
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: wilderness how elitist? Do I think hunting is elitist? No?

93
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: I do not. I think we have a tendency to

94
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: make anything we like to do elitist through the way

95
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: people act and self identify and sell things. Right, how

96
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: can I be the best if everyone is equal? How

97
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: can I sell my stuff if everything is equal. I

98
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: do think when this question comes up that we need

99
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: to recalibrate our brains and realize that even though hunting

100
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: can be done with a stick or a rock or

101
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: a sling, shot barefoot and naked, this is not the

102
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: way we typically portray it. Quick break here, Everyone needs

103
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: to write this title down The rabbit Hunt. The Rabbit

104
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: Hunt is a twelve minute and eight second long short film,

105
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: and it's fantastic anyway, what we promote and certainly what

106
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: we see in the news can be a stretch from

107
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: normal everyday hunting. Seeing Donald Trump Jr. Or someone else

108
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: in that tax bracket with a high dollar species if

109
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: you have ever even heard of, like a mark orps

110
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: is not the normal hunter. Far from it. Yet at

111
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: the same time, I have elk out my back door.

112
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: They're very accessible and every season inexpensive hunt for me.

113
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: For a lot of people in the US, however, and

114
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: elk hunt is nowhere near the realm of possibility, even

115
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: for lifelong hunters. You know, they're just don't have that access.

116
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: So context is important when we were talking about elitism,

117
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: and if you take one very common hunt in our country,

118
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: the hunt for the cotton tail rabbit and put it

119
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: in comparison to let's say, jogging, something I think just

120
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: about anybody can do. There are some arguments to be

121
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: made that could angle toward elitism on behalf of the hunter,

122
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: but if we focus on the bare essentials, the only

123
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: thing separating a hunter from a jogger would be the

124
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: need for a small game license depending on your state, unless,

125
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: of course, you consider a good thumping stick picked up

126
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: off the ground the symbol of elitism in this case.

127
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: Stephen Ronella pointed out during this talk in Illinois that

128
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: hunting participation is distributed pretty darn evenly across income levels

129
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: here in the US. That is absolutely not the case

130
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: in a place like the UK. I'll tell you when

131
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: I think about myself and elitism Montana kid fishing for

132
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: turpan in Mexico, that, my friends, is as elitist as

133
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: it gets expensive is an understatement. And we put these

134
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: fish on a pedestal, unless, of course, you grew up

135
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: with them stealing your bait underneath the pier. In regards

136
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: to elitism in wilderness use, when the Wilderness Act of

137
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four passed the Senate on April nine, nineteen

138
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: sixty three, the vote was seventy three to twelve. It

139
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: then passed the House on July nine, sixty four, and

140
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: the count was three seventy four to one, three hundred

141
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: seventy four to one. This at a time when the

142
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: good people at Webster's Dictionary report that the use of

143
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: the word elitist was in an all time high. Don't

144
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: you think that if folks thought wilderness was elitist in

145
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four, those margins in the House and Senate

146
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: would have been a bit more slim. This is an

147
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: irksome topic for me. I've fueled the wilderness mystique, so

148
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: I feel a need to comment. All that is necessary

149
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: to enjoy a designated wilderness area is the desire to go.

150
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: If you are two hundred feet into the wilderness, you

151
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: are as capable of enjoying what a wilderness has to

152
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: offer as the person twenty miles in. You do not

153
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: need the lightest, most expensive gear. You need the desire

154
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: to go. Let's not blow this out of proportion. Let's

155
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: not divide outdoor use amongst those with preferences that differ.

156
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: If you want to be outside, that's what matters. Are

157
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: you seriously telling me you are going to stay inside

158
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: curtain shut if your horse or your mountain bike can't go. Maybe,

159
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: But if that's the case, you can't tell me you

160
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: wanted to be outside. All right, that went way too long.

161
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: If you haven't noticed, it is lawmaking time. But do

162
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: not fret. The weekend review is going to stay focused

163
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: on things pertinent to the outdoor ours, so buckle up.

164
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: In this next segment, we're heading over to the Policy Desk.

165
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: Bill in the Utah Statehouse would prevent those behind on

166
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: their child support from purchasing hunting and fishing licenses. This

167
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: is not as groundbreaking as it may seem. According to

168
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: the ncs L, the National Conference of State Legislatures, more

169
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: states than not will suspend your ability to buy hunting

170
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: or fishing license when a person is behind on child

171
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: support payments. Florida won't let your register your boat either.

172
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: The only issue I see with this is for those

173
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: who need a hunting or fishing license to work, like

174
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: fishing and hunting guides. However, the fishing and hunting guide

175
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: lifestyle probably lead to this lack of funds and child

176
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: support situation in the first place. If you're opposed to

177
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: this and want to call your duly elected just be

178
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: ready for you know that follow up question. Uh. South

179
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: Carolina bill Bill ten forty two seeks to amend a

180
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: previous animal cruelty bill that did not include hunting dogs.

181
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: The previous will provides an exemption that excludes hunting dogs

182
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: during training and while they are in the field. The

183
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: fear on this amendment is that if a dog were

184
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: to injure itself during a hunt, as they often do.

185
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: I myself have had a few labs that got cut

186
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: on barbed wire or broken tree limbs. Anyway, if your

187
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: dog were to get injured during this activity, someone could,

188
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: in theory charge you with animal cruelty for putting the

189
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: dog in harm's way. Or if you were to use

190
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: an E color E standing for electricity and you know,

191
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: zap your pooch during training or in the field, this

192
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: could even be considered animal cruelty. Now, that scenario just

193
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: seems completely unreasonable, but you know, common sense isn't so

194
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: common sometimes. If you were a hunter dog trainer in

195
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: South Carolina, you should call and stress the need for

196
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: language that isn't so broad. All dogs are good dogs,

197
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: but well trained dogs are welcome everywhere, But there is

198
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: also a limit as to when you use the stick

199
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: and when you use a treat. Animal walty is real,

200
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: so be aware of that as well. Over in Idaho,

201
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: a state famous for public lands, a bill that is

202
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: just in the works, meaning it has not even been introduced,

203
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: would give individual citizens the ability to legally fight back

204
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: against people who illegally block access to public lands. While

205
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: this sounds like an anticlimactic deal, you're probably scratching your

206
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: head even thinking, well, of course, is there no actual

207
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: legal recourse against a person who would go so far

208
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: as to exclude the public from public ground. Well, let

209
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,239
Speaker 1: me tell you a real brief history of Idaho trespass

210
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: law up until just a few years back. Uh some

211
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: would say antiquated law stated that if land was not

212
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: legally posted as in legally marked every so often, the

213
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: land was presumed open to trustpass which was great to

214
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: anyone who wanted to shoot through a small strip of

215
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: private to get into a big chunk of public, or

216
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: you know, take advantage of some good quail hunting ground

217
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: every now and again. Very seldom did I ever hunt

218
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: private without permission, even though it was legal in Idaho

219
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: at the time. Coming from Montana just didn't feel super

220
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: comfortable when that bill was amended. A bunch of really

221
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: crazy stuff, lopsided stuff that even the Idaho Sheriff's Association

222
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: when support came with it. As it stands now, a

223
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: landowner or land owning entity can sue individuals for trustpass

224
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: take them to court, lose the case as then be wrong,

225
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: and both sides have to pay for their legal fees.

226
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: If the accused the winner wants to get their money

227
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: back for their defense, they would then have to waste

228
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: another bunch of time to sue the landowner. You can

229
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: imagine this system could allow for some scare tactic nastiness

230
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: for those who don't like sharing. What we were talking

231
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: about in this particular case is a case of counties

232
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: and their roads, sometimes seldom maintained by the county but

233
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: often used by the citizenry. County roads passed through a

234
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: patchwork of public and private lands. In one of those patches,

235
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: you could have a landowner who has both sides of

236
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: the road. They wait for a time of little traffic

237
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: like winter conditions, when they install inclose a gate that

238
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: blocks legal access to public land. Slap up some no

239
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: trustpassing signs make it look real intimidating, and then wait

240
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: and see if people are willing to forget about that road.

241
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: If that road or what have you has a long

242
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: enough period of documented nonuse, then that's kind of all,

243
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: she wrote. Currently, the people who commit these acts against

244
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: all of us do not have to worry much about repercussions,

245
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: only being cussed. Social outcry has managed to unlock a

246
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: few these situations, but there has been no recompense for

247
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: the citizens, nonprofits, and counties who have had to spend

248
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: time on these ultimately expensive situations. In some cases, if

249
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: it were not for public use, the county would much

250
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: rather abandon the road than have to pay to maintain it.

251
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: So it is truly up to the users to watch

252
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: for these situations. In one example, side by Boise State

253
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: Public Radio, a citizens group notified Bannock County, of which Pocatello,

254
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: Idaho is the county seat. Out of their fifty roads,

255
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: Bannock County lists on their website, eight roads have been

256
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: aggressively posted as private or physically blocked. This isn't exactly

257
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere. In fact, Bannock County has a

258
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: population of over eighty two thousand, which includes Idaho State University,

259
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: which means, you know, a bunch of poor college kids

260
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: looking to go access their public lands. They're hunting and fishing.

261
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: It's also an area with incredible hunting and fishing. So

262
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: back to this not even proposed yet bill. As it

263
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: stands now, a first time offender would get a warning,

264
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: a second time offender a small fine, a third time

265
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: offender a misdemeanor. In addition, private citizens could sue the

266
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: landowner or land owning entity if they do not open

267
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: the gate within twenty four hours of being notified. The

268
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: individual in this case could recoup five dollars or any

269
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: actual damages whichever is more, as well as their legal fees,

270
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: which would put the burden of the access fight on

271
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: the citizens and not on the county. I am going

272
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: to watch this, you know, not quite yet a bill.

273
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: I hope it becomes a bill, and I hope the good,

274
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: even keeled, sensical people of Idaho vote for it. What's more,

275
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: don't trick yourself into thinking that this only happens in

276
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: Bannock County, Idaho, or just in Idaho. If you come

277
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: across no trespassing sign that doesn't look right or a

278
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: brand new gate on an old dirt road. Don't feel

279
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: bad about questioning it's legitimacy. Use stuff like on X maps,

280
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: know where you are and get ahold of the county clerk.

281
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: Jumping over to South Dakota, a state that I admire

282
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: greatly for the hunting and fishing opportunities. State Senator Jeff

283
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: Monroe from Pierre, South Dakota sponsored Bill SP, a bill

284
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: that will take away the ability for any town to

285
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: ban the use of single use plastics such as plastic straw,

286
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: shopping bags, and bottles commonly called auxiliary containers. Currently, people

287
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: in America and just on average one credit cards worth

288
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: of plastic a month, we use five hundred million straws

289
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: every single day. If you are a rural landowner with

290
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: three or four strand barbed wire fence or worse, sheep

291
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: or snow fence, you've likely gotten sick of picking up

292
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: plastic bags that collect there. Unfortunately, it is unfair to you,

293
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: but it's better that you pick those things up, because

294
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: if not, they're gonna end up in our water supply somehow,

295
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: some way there they slowly degrade microplastics, the degraded by

296
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: product of these containers and bags then make their way

297
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: into the food chain from invertebrates to fish to human

298
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: We even drink them, which is something no member of

299
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: the hunting, fishing, boating, or bird watching public likes to see,

300
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: except for Senator Monroe of South Dakota. The Senator says,

301
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: in regards to plastic coffee cans being thrown in the river,

302
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: it really doesn't bother me at all because it sinks

303
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: to the bottom and becomes habitat for bait fish and crayfish.

304
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: If you like to eat those things, well, Senator, I

305
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: really do like to eat those I just wanted to

306
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 1: be plastic free. But I do salute you for pushing

307
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: this bill that essentially tries to freeze time, a bill

308
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: that boldly flies in the face of science, climate change

309
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: and all the rural South Dakotans who have to take

310
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: a day to clean their barrel pits and fence lines

311
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: of plastic after the wind blows. S B fifty four

312
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: is main sponsor John Wick, who I am guessing looks

313
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: nothing like Keanu Reeves, who don't confuse the two and

314
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: state rapped tim rounds bowl state economic reasons for the bill,

315
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: which are real. Every place that uses auxiliary containers will

316
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: have to take time to source replacement containers. This could

317
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: be more expensive than the old plastic in some cases,

318
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: and you could inconvenience customers during the transition. But that's

319
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: exactly what SP fifty four is really about. Inconvenience, not

320
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: a senator's preference for slowly degrading baitish and crayfish homes

321
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the river. We made the switch

322
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: from lad shot to non toxic and the world did

323
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: not crumble. Step up, not back South Dakotains and sportsman

324
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: who loved South Dakota. Moving on the law enforcement desk, Columbus,

325
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: Ohio officer was bitten by a coyote during a routine

326
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: stopped to check on a stranded motorist. Sergeant James Fuqua

327
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: said the coyote came out of nowhere and bid him.

328
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: The officer then punched the coyote. The coyote ran off

329
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: and then returned. When more officers arrived on the scene.

330
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: The officers tried to taze the coyote. Why I do

331
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: not know. Then they got the animal in a position

332
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: to humanely put it down, they shot it. There is

333
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: nothing funny about this officer being bitten in the line

334
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: of duty, or the three officers having to chase and

335
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: kill the coyote. I did get a chuckle, however, when

336
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: the very next news story that popped up read quote

337
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: courageous cat fends off three coyotes behind California home. Yeah. Uh.

338
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: Coyote was captured after biting a six year old child

339
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago and transferred to

340
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility. What the coyote will be

341
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: rehabilitated too or four is yet to be determined. Maybe

342
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: it can learn the error of its coyote ways and

343
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: become a poodle at DNA analysis determined that the coyote

344
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: in rehab is in fact the coyote that bit the child.

345
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: Because he bit a person, the coyote cannot be returned

346
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: to Lincoln Park. This would be an appropriate time to

347
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: ask yourself what happens to a domestic dog that attacks

348
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: and bites a child in the face. The coyote, which

349
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: has now of course been named, will be kept in

350
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: captivity forever as a quote educational ambassador teaching the need

351
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: for peaceful coexistence. Again. The child and his nanny were

352
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: walking and the coyote jumped out and bit the six

353
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: year old boy in the face. What these people talking about?

354
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: According to the Humane Society of America, urban coyotes avoid

355
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: humans at all costs and only attack when provoked. This

356
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: coyote was noticed several times by people on January six,

357
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: did the biting on January eight. Later that day, an

358
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: unsubstantiated kyote attack occurred in Steeterville, this time on a

359
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: thirty two year old man. Then a dog was bitten

360
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: and had to be rescued by two people. Then another

361
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: coyote was pulled from Monroe Herbor. The Lincoln Park High

362
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: School went into a temporary lockdown due to a coyote

363
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: siting nearby. Chicago, you think you might be sliding backwards?

364
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: Here is the next headline I read, Chicago ones turning

365
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: over their homes to coyotes and fleeing the city. That's

366
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: all I got for you this week. Thanks for listening.

367
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: As usual, you can always get a hold of me

368
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: at a s K C. A L at the meat

369
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: eater dot com. That's asked caw at the meat eater

370
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: dot com. Tell me what I got right, tell me

371
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: what I'm missing, and tell me what I got wrong.

372
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: If you want to leave me a review, do it

373
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: by hitting that furthest right hand start, and I'll talk

374
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: to you next week.
