Speaker 1: special treat we are trying something new here on Stuff

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: you should Know. What's that? We're actually running a language module,

16

Speaker 1: recorded language module subliminally for our listeners. So you out

Speaker 1: there in podcast language, just kick back, relax and prepared

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: to learn Russian without lifting a finger. While Chuck and

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: I talked about the topic of knife hunting, do you

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: know anything about that? Yeah? No, good? See it's working already. Well,

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: let me tell you about knife hunting, chuck. Okay, Arguably

22
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: it's the fairest way to hunt. And this is based

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: on an article I wrote is knife Hunting the Fairest

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: Way to Hunt, which is pretty subjective, and I was

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: a little worried about, you know, me bringing my own

26
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: opinions into it because I don't hunt. True, but it's

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: kind of an open and chuck cakes, if you asked me, well,

28
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: maybe so. And luckily, though, there is a there's a

29
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: principle out there among hunters and wildlife managers. It's called

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: the principle of fair chase, right, that there needs to

31
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: be a balance between um, the hunter and the prey. Yeah.

32
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean like you can go out and spend tens

33
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars. You've got your a t V,

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: You've got your really super duper camo, you've got your

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: incredible scope in a deer exactly. There's you know, you

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: can there there's a launder detergent that's that removes any

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: odor whatsoever from you. You can put buck lur around,

38
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: there's feeding says, There's all sorts of things you can

39
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: do to an unsuspecting and well to raise your advantage

40
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: to where it's it's not even sport any longer. It's

41
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: just blood sport or target practice live animals. Right. Um, Now,

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: the principle of fair chases you were saying, it's basically

43
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: trying to strike a balance between the deer or whatever

44
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: you're hunting. I guess it doesn't matter what you're hunting,

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: you know. Um, so yeah, it applies across the board.

46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: And you can't give a deer gun, So no, you can't.

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: And frankly, I think that would be a really bad idea.

48
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: All we've done to them with our cars and with

49
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: the hunters, right, don't give them cars or guns and

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: we'll be fine. Right, What what fairer way to hunt

51
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: is there than hunting with the knife? Right? I think

52
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: that would be the only fair way to hunt that?

53
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: Or bare hands? Yes, yeah, obviously bare hands going toe

54
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: to toe with like a bear. Dude. Actually, you're at

55
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: a disadvantage, you know, there's fair hair chase should be

56
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: balanced in your favor at that point. And frankly, I

57
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: mean probably all you're wearing is a loincloth, so everything's

58
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: gonna hurt extra back a soiled loinecloth at that definitely. Um,

59
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: so do you know much about knife hunting? Uh? Not

60
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: personally from experience, but you know, I know you and

61
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: I were talking about this a lot when you wrote

62
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: the article. Um. One thing I did want to talk

63
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: about first, though, was this thing you found about internet hunting,

64
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: which thankfully was shut down soon after it started. But

65
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: this is like the opposite spectrum, complete opposite. This guy

66
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: in Texas launched a website where you could hunt remotely

67
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: from your computer, and it was literally attached to a gun.

68
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 1: You could you had a camera and you could look

69
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: out on the wild range and see something, pan over

70
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: to it with your mouse, click it, and the gun

71
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: with fire. And lawmakers shut that down, you know too.

72
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: It's sweet, thankfully, Yeah, which is I frankly applaud that.

73
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean, apparently it wasn't just animal rights people, hunters

74
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: as well, like sportsmen's groups were like this has to

75
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: go away, this can't be good, which is good to know. Yeah. So,

76
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: so we've got internet hunting band. I don't think you're

77
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: gonna see any any bands on knife hunting based on

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: questions of fairness. No, it's mostly used for wild boar, yeah,

79
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: which is kind of I mean, I don't. I'm no hunter,

80
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: but I think that kind of cool. First, Yeah, well,

81
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're about they get up to fifty

82
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: pounds six feet long. There was there was one that

83
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: went around um on the internet and I actually went

84
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: onto Snopes and it was verified there was one that was, um,

85
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: I think eleven feet long, right, what that? What's the

86
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: name of that one? They called it like, um Jurassic

87
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: pork or something like that, and so I was like,

88
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: obviously this is a fake. I went on the steps.

89
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: They're like, no, we verified it was part of an

90
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: a p article. Was a knife it wasn't. It was

91
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: shot with a pistol, and it turned out that it

92
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: had been a family pet that was sold to this

93
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: hunting preserve like two days before the guy shot. But

94
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: so we've got a knife hunting. And basically what it

95
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: is is you you send dogs out to go run

96
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: after some some hogs who hide in the brush and

97
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: they are startled. They're generally tranquil and they're not aggressive

98
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: towards humans, but if you started them, they will run,

99
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: and when they start running, you want to kind of

100
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: get in between them and wherever they think they're going.

101
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: And when they get close and if you actually push this,

102
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: you know, seven hundred pound board to the ground and

103
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: stab it and stab it to death, and it still

104
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: results in the death of an animal. But if we're

105
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: talking about whether or not knife hunting is fair, then

106
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: arguably it's a lot fairer than being up in that tree. Yeah.

107
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: I would say, if you have the fortitude to leap

108
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: from a bush on top of a seven hundred pound

109
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: pig and stab it to death, then I'm not gonna

110
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: get in your way, right. And there was this one

111
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: hunt who actually uh and it happened in nineteen six

112
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: with this guy in Florida who not only knife hunted,

113
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: he used throwing knots. That was crazy. Yeah, it was crazy.

114
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: I'll have to af forward you the link. It's pretty interesting.

115
