00:06:36,017 --> 00:06:37,371
if somebody completely like,

183
00:06:38,742 --> 00:06:39,481
I use

184
00:06:41,215 --> 00:06:42,891
to only 1 person on the animal at

185
00:06:42,891 --> 00:06:44,167
a time with a knife because I don't

186
00:06:44,167 --> 00:06:45,146
wanna get cut

187
00:06:45,618 --> 00:06:48,250
as an excuse because I'm so anal about

188
00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:50,164
my mean. I don't want hair, any kind,

189
00:06:50,324 --> 00:06:52,716
like, pieces of tundra to you them... No.

190
00:06:52,876 --> 00:06:54,471
This is them saying that. And I was

191
00:06:54,471 --> 00:06:57,519
like, man. That's a... Yeah. Yeah. That's solid

192
00:06:57,519 --> 00:06:59,275
being in the wrong spot. Right.

193
00:06:59,913 --> 00:07:00,312
Exactly.

194
00:07:01,749 --> 00:07:03,345
So, yeah, that were using the that don't

195
00:07:03,345 --> 00:07:05,985
cut me. As excuse for, like, that's a

196
00:07:05,985 --> 00:07:07,177
eat nazi. Yeah.

197
00:07:08,290 --> 00:07:09,880
But it real... I mean, like, you could

198
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,629
always end up in a shitty situation where

199
00:07:11,629 --> 00:07:13,952
there's nothing you can do, but like, really,

200
00:07:14,111 --> 00:07:16,903
it's not that usually that tough. You're just

201
00:07:16,903 --> 00:07:18,817
like a little careful. Even late at night,

202
00:07:18,977 --> 00:07:20,173
you know, just like, take a little bit

203
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:22,167
of extra time That's all it is and

204
00:07:22,167 --> 00:07:24,338
extra time. It all it really is to

205
00:07:24,338 --> 00:07:24,977
keep me clean.

206
00:07:26,975 --> 00:07:28,733
I've been given some stuff before, then I

207
00:07:28,733 --> 00:07:30,572
was like, yeah, you can keep that. I'm

208
00:07:30,572 --> 00:07:30,971
all set.

209
00:07:33,062 --> 00:07:35,214
Yeah. That or what I was I was

210
00:07:35,214 --> 00:07:37,047
laugh at. I see, you know, people with

211
00:07:37,047 --> 00:07:39,199
their bears that, like, the the hide... They

212
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:40,886
got it, like, stretched out skin down on

213
00:07:40,886 --> 00:07:42,716
a gravel bar. And like, whoever you're pain

214
00:07:42,716 --> 00:07:44,864
to flesh that? It's not be happy.

215
00:07:47,172 --> 00:07:49,258
But Yeah. Did you get... Did you end

216
00:07:49,258 --> 00:07:50,853
up getting out after seals this spring?

217
00:07:51,889 --> 00:07:55,157
I went once, and we shot for, but

218
00:07:55,157 --> 00:07:55,737
it wasn't

219
00:07:56,208 --> 00:07:58,037
It wasn't enough I go, like, 2 or

220
00:07:58,037 --> 00:07:58,913
3 times. Yeah.

221
00:08:00,265 --> 00:08:02,811
I just... Between work and time off. I

222
00:08:02,811 --> 00:08:03,105
just

223
00:08:03,624 --> 00:08:06,021
I'm not not paying off between work and

224
00:08:06,021 --> 00:08:08,897
whether I didn't have many opportunities. Yeah. Well,

225
00:08:08,977 --> 00:08:10,987
you probably got, like, a maybe. And, like,

226
00:08:11,066 --> 00:08:12,336
hear a little more... But, I think we

227
00:08:12,336 --> 00:08:13,471
talked about last time

228
00:08:13,923 --> 00:08:15,931
you're on the podcast a little bit but

229
00:08:16,065 --> 00:08:17,811
be cool to, like, here. Because I imagine

230
00:08:17,811 --> 00:08:19,081
you got, like, you gotta deal with, like,

231
00:08:19,494 --> 00:08:22,046
correct, like, good water and weather conditions. Yep.

232
00:08:22,206 --> 00:08:23,721
And, like, have the ice be close enough.

233
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,396
Yep. I mean... You have to have c

234
00:08:25,396 --> 00:08:25,896
ice

235
00:08:26,592 --> 00:08:27,092
and

236
00:08:27,709 --> 00:08:28,825
calm calm weather.

237
00:08:30,755 --> 00:08:32,910
And then when it Sunny helps too because

238
00:08:32,910 --> 00:08:34,447
you you could see a lot more

239
00:08:35,144 --> 00:08:36,762
heads in the water so you're looking at

240
00:08:37,631 --> 00:08:39,376
tiny heads, you know? Yeah. Why do you

241
00:08:39,376 --> 00:08:40,090
have to have C?

242
00:08:42,073 --> 00:08:44,056
These they follow the C. Okay.

243
00:08:45,029 --> 00:08:47,426
So, like, in the wintertime, the ice builds

244
00:08:47,426 --> 00:08:48,165
it from

245
00:08:48,704 --> 00:08:49,683
the north pole

246
00:08:50,222 --> 00:08:51,181
towards... Right.

247
00:08:53,673 --> 00:08:55,431
Kinda where we're at is where it stops.

248
00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:57,589
Some winters it goes all the way down

249
00:08:57,589 --> 00:08:59,027
to keep keep new nam.

250
00:09:01,757 --> 00:09:04,226
And the ice pushes the seals down. So

251
00:09:04,226 --> 00:09:05,341
we're at the very bottom,

252
00:09:06,296 --> 00:09:08,128
and in March when it warms up, the

253
00:09:08,128 --> 00:09:09,743
ice starts moving up fast

254
00:09:10,134 --> 00:09:12,544
and we only have a few days to

255
00:09:13,237 --> 00:09:15,466
get after the Series had... They're great to

256
00:09:15,466 --> 00:09:18,110
move all 1 behind it. Yep. Okay. So

257
00:09:18,110 --> 00:09:20,110
you're kinda getting them where they're concentrated on

258
00:09:20,110 --> 00:09:21,709
the edge of the space serve. And so

259
00:09:21,709 --> 00:09:23,309
this year was 1 of those years where

260
00:09:23,309 --> 00:09:25,044
the wind push ice out

261
00:09:25,482 --> 00:09:27,627
Oh, gotcha. No matter if, like, the week.

262
00:09:29,058 --> 00:09:29,296
So...

263
00:09:31,601 --> 00:09:33,508
Yeah. Last year, the ice was all the

264
00:09:33,508 --> 00:09:35,032
way that keep moon him for a long

265
00:09:35,032 --> 00:09:37,175
time it was awesome. Nice. Because you do

266
00:09:37,175 --> 00:09:38,763
you start getting like, little potholes holes and

267
00:09:38,763 --> 00:09:40,510
leads that you can go hunt and stuff

268
00:09:40,510 --> 00:09:42,812
when it hangs around longer? Yeah. Pretty much

269
00:09:42,812 --> 00:09:43,184
too. Keep

270
00:09:45,056 --> 00:09:48,242
It's like chuck video, like that's looks so

271
00:09:48,242 --> 00:09:51,189
cool, like chuck video, Mh button walrus and

272
00:09:51,189 --> 00:09:51,348
stuff.

273
00:09:53,748 --> 00:09:55,337
Some of the stuff he get into. Well,

274
00:09:55,575 --> 00:09:57,481
when I... You know, when Roy Roy Randall

275
00:09:57,481 --> 00:09:58,991
was alive when I working at... When I

276
00:09:58,991 --> 00:10:00,421
first started working at the lodge. I mean,

277
00:10:00,579 --> 00:10:01,612
that's all he did for years.

278
00:10:02,424 --> 00:10:02,584
Yeah.

279
00:10:03,303 --> 00:10:05,620
I don't know. Whenever you removed there our

280
00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:08,177
late fifties or early sixties to 73. That's

281
00:10:08,177 --> 00:10:09,535
all I did with Shots sea lines and

282
00:10:09,535 --> 00:10:10,035
seals

283
00:10:10,748 --> 00:10:11,248
and

284
00:10:12,582 --> 00:10:14,098
a lot different around Ko.

285
00:10:14,736 --> 00:10:16,331
Yeah. Now. You're not worried about ice at

286
00:10:16,331 --> 00:10:18,564
all to to retain them that they're just

287
00:10:18,564 --> 00:10:20,651
there all the time. So you're just basically.

288
00:10:20,890 --> 00:10:21,922
I mean, the way he explained it to

289
00:10:21,922 --> 00:10:24,464
me was he'd have... He'd get dropped off

290
00:10:24,464 --> 00:10:26,371
on a rock pile, and he'd just sit

291
00:10:26,371 --> 00:10:29,072
there and, you know, until they're wise to

292
00:10:29,072 --> 00:10:30,995
what you're doing you just shoot them and

293
00:10:30,995 --> 00:10:32,190
then the other ones will pop up, you

294
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:33,623
shoot another 1 and they all float. You

295
00:10:33,623 --> 00:10:35,853
shoot them. They float You just kinda The

296
00:10:35,853 --> 00:10:38,401
there's the salt is so dense that they

297
00:10:38,401 --> 00:10:40,249
float. Yeah. We're at in the C bay.

298
00:10:40,409 --> 00:10:41,923
It's mixed with a little bit of fresh

299
00:10:41,923 --> 00:10:42,561
water. Mh.

300
00:10:43,358 --> 00:10:45,192
And that's why we prefer to shoot them

301
00:10:45,192 --> 00:10:45,750
on the sea ice.

302
00:10:46,547 --> 00:10:46,946
Okay.

303
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:49,200
You you have less chance of losing them.

304
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,919
There we go. Right on. That makes a

305
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:52,480
ton of sense.

306
00:10:55,051 --> 00:10:57,038
Yeah. Do you get... You guys the, ga

307
00:10:57,038 --> 00:10:59,422
them or something when you take pop... Okay.

308
00:10:59,661 --> 00:11:00,376
Yeah. Hard put them.

309
00:11:01,250 --> 00:11:03,499
And there's certain times where

310
00:11:03,970 --> 00:11:05,570
you wanna shoot or you don't shoot, you

311
00:11:05,570 --> 00:11:06,049
know? Yeah.

312
00:11:08,049 --> 00:11:11,090
Like, the bigger beard deals, you don't wanna

313
00:11:11,090 --> 00:11:11,750
shoot them

314
00:11:12,622 --> 00:11:14,846
right before they dive because they exhale. Oh,

315
00:11:15,005 --> 00:11:15,323
gotcha.

316
00:11:17,388 --> 00:11:18,024
So usually,

317
00:11:18,818 --> 00:11:20,328
we like to shoot them when they're swimming

318
00:11:20,328 --> 00:11:20,486
away.

319
00:11:21,936 --> 00:11:24,010
Because it... When he shoot them there, they

320
00:11:24,010 --> 00:11:26,264
just kinda, like it chap it here

321
00:11:27,041 --> 00:11:28,636
and they float... You have they float better

322
00:11:28,636 --> 00:11:30,391
more time to retrieve it. Mh nice.

323
00:11:32,958 --> 00:11:34,634
It's like the grown up version of shooting

324
00:11:34,634 --> 00:11:35,511
beaver in the river.

325
00:11:36,548 --> 00:11:36,868
Yeah.

326
00:11:38,397 --> 00:11:39,671
Or shoot them on the ice when they're

327
00:11:39,671 --> 00:11:40,865
sleeping. That's the best. Yeah.

328
00:11:41,899 --> 00:11:43,253
You. Sac them and then there... You don't

329
00:11:43,253 --> 00:11:44,526
even have to worry about it. They're not

330
00:11:44,526 --> 00:11:46,118
going anywhere. Yep. Right on.

331
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,277
So is it just beard seals? Or is

332
00:11:54,277 --> 00:11:54,917
there... No.

333
00:11:56,195 --> 00:11:56,935
We shoot

334
00:11:57,327 --> 00:11:58,600
some spotted seals.

335
00:12:00,430 --> 00:12:02,339
And then we shoot ring teal. Ring teal

336
00:12:02,339 --> 00:12:04,248
only grow to be about... I don't know.

337
00:12:04,407 --> 00:12:06,413
It's like a really big beaver. Yeah. Okay.

338
00:12:06,652 --> 00:12:08,566
But the ring peels and the beard peels,

339
00:12:08,646 --> 00:12:10,900
they eat a lot of k, and

340
00:12:11,915 --> 00:12:13,292
I think that's why they have

341
00:12:14,068 --> 00:12:15,286
better tasting oil

342
00:12:15,678 --> 00:12:17,667
and then the spotted seal, they just... They

343
00:12:17,667 --> 00:12:20,053
eat anything, man. I've seen them meat yellow

344
00:12:20,053 --> 00:12:22,122
fin and any kinds of fish that they

345
00:12:22,122 --> 00:12:23,513
can they can

346
00:12:23,970 --> 00:12:26,283
get a hold of, and then beard seals.

347
00:12:26,443 --> 00:12:28,277
I don't know too much about them,

348
00:12:30,032 --> 00:12:31,946
but I know the eat k and clams.

349
00:12:33,157 --> 00:12:34,671
And those are really good eating, like they

350
00:12:34,671 --> 00:12:35,547
make the best dry meat.

351
00:12:37,141 --> 00:12:39,553
And then with the bearded seal oil that

352
00:12:40,264 --> 00:12:41,485
oil turns kind of

353
00:12:42,264 --> 00:12:45,144
yellowish, like reddish. Yeah. But, like, when you

354
00:12:45,144 --> 00:12:46,985
render it down. Mh. But it tastes fine.

355
00:12:47,225 --> 00:12:47,884
And then

356
00:12:48,998 --> 00:12:50,989
the ring till makes a very clear oil.

357
00:12:51,308 --> 00:12:52,741
That's pretty tasty. Okay.

358
00:12:54,334 --> 00:12:54,572
Yep.

359
00:12:57,613 --> 00:12:58,726
No seal hunt around here.

360
00:13:01,746 --> 00:13:02,381
No shit.

361
00:13:04,050 --> 00:13:05,639
Here to state the obvious, I guess.

362
00:13:06,610 --> 00:13:08,529
But... Yeah. Man, it's been... I don't know

363
00:13:08,610 --> 00:13:10,610
It's I don't know about... It's probably been

364
00:13:10,610 --> 00:13:11,970
busy for you. It just seems like

365
00:13:13,169 --> 00:13:14,690
It seems like it's like 5 weeks away

366
00:13:14,690 --> 00:13:16,962
and we're sheep hunting. And it is. Basically

367
00:13:17,181 --> 00:13:18,377
Yeah. Isn't that nuts.

368
00:13:19,175 --> 00:13:21,170
That just came to me this morning.

369
00:13:22,047 --> 00:13:23,896
And I was like walking things take care

370
00:13:23,896 --> 00:13:24,613
of. Yeah.

371
00:13:26,127 --> 00:13:27,720
I walk off into the mountains,

372
00:13:28,357 --> 00:13:29,393
holy shit.

373
00:13:31,323 --> 00:13:33,241
Yeah. I mean, it comes fast every year,

374
00:13:33,481 --> 00:13:33,981
but

375
00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:36,038
jeez, yeah. This like filth.

376
00:13:37,077 --> 00:13:38,435
Summer hit pretty quick this year.

377
00:13:39,168 --> 00:13:40,279
Felt like I haven't been able to breathe.

378
00:13:40,359 --> 00:13:42,105
Of course, I've, you know, been busy doing

379
00:13:42,105 --> 00:13:42,844
stuff and

380
00:13:43,693 --> 00:13:46,099
killing bears and whatnot. But

381
00:13:48,632 --> 00:13:49,450
you've been building

382
00:13:50,382 --> 00:13:50,621
Yeah,

383
00:13:51,496 --> 00:13:52,212
nonstop every day.

384
00:13:53,485 --> 00:13:54,440
Except for the last 3.

385
00:13:55,076 --> 00:13:56,429
I finally got the roof on and took

386
00:13:56,429 --> 00:13:56,588
off.

387
00:13:57,319 --> 00:13:58,035
Went the cabin.

388
00:13:58,671 --> 00:13:58,910
Yeah.

389
00:13:59,705 --> 00:14:00,523
Cobra recuperate.

390
00:14:01,057 --> 00:14:02,569
Yeah it was pretty tall roof. Like,

391
00:14:03,523 --> 00:14:05,375
I hadn't... I hadn't worked a real job

392
00:14:05,375 --> 00:14:06,894
in a few years and Over there to

393
00:14:06,894 --> 00:14:09,055
help hunt hand, like, sheets plywood up right

394
00:14:09,055 --> 00:14:10,894
from the second floor up through the raptor

395
00:14:10,894 --> 00:14:11,695
so he can cheat it.

396
00:14:12,749 --> 00:14:15,615
And I'm like, man. I freaking don't like

397
00:14:15,615 --> 00:14:17,844
extension ladders anymore than I used to.

398
00:14:19,676 --> 00:14:19,994
Yeah.

399
00:14:21,284 --> 00:14:22,962
No. I don't like groups anymore either.

400
00:14:23,842 --> 00:14:24,161
That was...

401
00:14:25,999 --> 00:14:27,358
I don't know. 10 years ago I to

402
00:14:27,358 --> 00:14:28,477
run right down to the edge of that

403
00:14:28,477 --> 00:14:30,555
thing and been, like, leaned over over the

404
00:14:30,555 --> 00:14:30,929
edge

405
00:14:31,447 --> 00:14:33,518
bang the drip edge on with roof and

406
00:14:33,518 --> 00:14:34,336
nails and

407
00:14:34,951 --> 00:14:36,465
man, I got, like, 3 feet away from

408
00:14:36,465 --> 00:14:38,376
the peak. Start like, we're gonna need a

409
00:14:38,376 --> 00:14:39,865
lift, to start getting woo

410
00:14:40,943 --> 00:14:43,260
know about Woo. I'm just like, man, it's

411
00:14:43,260 --> 00:14:44,379
a long way down, like,

412
00:14:45,258 --> 00:14:47,015
10:15 years ago, I might be like, I

413
00:14:47,015 --> 00:14:49,179
could probably bounce. And be okay. Now I'm

414
00:14:49,179 --> 00:14:50,531
like, man, I didn't probably break a leg.

415
00:14:51,484 --> 00:14:52,597
All her bone something.

416
00:14:53,313 --> 00:14:55,061
Yeah. Well, you were talking about going... When

417
00:14:55,061 --> 00:14:57,303
was it... You went snowboarding again? Gu you

418
00:14:57,383 --> 00:14:59,378
Tal? Yeah. It was a few years ago.

419
00:15:01,532 --> 00:15:03,527
In Es the last time I had been

420
00:15:03,527 --> 00:15:05,136
on this snow award was here in Fair

421
00:15:05,136 --> 00:15:06,884
ranks or Moose Mountain when I was 10

422
00:15:06,884 --> 00:15:08,576
years old. Yeah. I had been

423
00:15:10,063 --> 00:15:11,335
10:15

424
00:15:11,335 --> 00:15:12,153
years since

425
00:15:14,211 --> 00:15:16,198
And, yeah. I just... I wrecked myself dude,

426
00:15:16,357 --> 00:15:17,788
like, I could log for 2 days.

427
00:15:21,935 --> 00:15:23,839
Yeah. Well, I hurt myself. Like, I just

428
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:25,426
can't even hardly get out of bed. I

429
00:15:25,426 --> 00:15:26,640
hurting myself. I

430
00:15:27,965 --> 00:15:29,472
bait so hunt with my dad.

431
00:15:30,204 --> 00:15:31,741
Just me and my dad and we

432
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:34,115
shot... He shot this. He shot a black

433
00:15:34,115 --> 00:15:36,131
bear was bow and we

434
00:15:36,829 --> 00:15:38,446
went not found it and

435
00:15:38,839 --> 00:15:40,034
I mean, it was kinda of my, like,

436
00:15:41,069 --> 00:15:43,140
Was telling you, like, I probably... I should've

437
00:15:43,140 --> 00:15:45,449
just smoked that G. It was, like, my

438
00:15:45,449 --> 00:15:47,201
my good opportunity for the season.

439
00:15:48,093 --> 00:15:50,488
We so briefly anyway. He shoots this bear

440
00:15:50,488 --> 00:15:50,966
runs off.

441
00:15:52,163 --> 00:15:53,520
We go find it and they're, like, let's

442
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,957
go grab that bear and drag it back

443
00:15:54,957 --> 00:15:55,435
to the boat.

444
00:15:56,486 --> 00:15:57,918
And this is the spot where Frank had

445
00:15:57,918 --> 00:15:59,032
to shoot the bear in the black bear

446
00:15:59,032 --> 00:16:00,862
in the mouth for like 10 feet.

447
00:16:02,055 --> 00:16:03,965
At high level. So, like, Steep Cut bank.

448
00:16:04,442 --> 00:16:04,601
Wow.

449
00:16:05,253 --> 00:16:06,447
This is... Yeah. That was a few years

450
00:16:06,447 --> 00:16:08,357
ago, but... That's a hard spot to get

451
00:16:08,357 --> 00:16:10,188
because you're coming out of the boat,

452
00:16:10,984 --> 00:16:12,337
up a bank and, like,

453
00:16:13,149 --> 00:16:14,667
as you're clearing the bank, the top of

454
00:16:14,667 --> 00:16:16,585
the... You're on... You're in the bait pile

455
00:16:16,585 --> 00:16:18,343
basically. I mean, we moved it back, like,

456
00:16:18,662 --> 00:16:20,260
15 yards, but you're still right. There doesn't

457
00:16:20,260 --> 00:16:20,500
matter.

458
00:16:21,232 --> 00:16:22,924
It's not an ideal spot.

459
00:16:23,854 --> 00:16:25,523
And I even intended to bring, like, a

460
00:16:25,523 --> 00:16:27,827
little shovel tool or something to carve some

461
00:16:27,827 --> 00:16:30,230
steps. You know, and forgot, so I we'd

462
00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:31,742
kinda, like, half ass did it with a

463
00:16:31,742 --> 00:16:32,140
hatch it.

464
00:16:33,175 --> 00:16:33,334
And,

465
00:16:35,324 --> 00:16:37,552
anyway, he shoots his bear this black bear

466
00:16:37,552 --> 00:16:39,325
and That was the first time that bear

467
00:16:39,325 --> 00:16:40,524
had been to the bait, and we like,

468
00:16:40,684 --> 00:16:42,045
climb up in the stand Is it just

469
00:16:42,045 --> 00:16:43,825
been a big g in a sal

470
00:16:44,845 --> 00:16:46,925
in, like, 20 minutes. I'm like, dad there's

471
00:16:46,925 --> 00:16:48,858
a huge bear cup. There's a huge black

472
00:16:48,858 --> 00:16:50,535
bear coming, and I took him while. He's

473
00:16:50,535 --> 00:16:52,852
a real nervous, but shot the bear thing

474
00:16:52,852 --> 00:16:54,530
ran off died, and

475
00:16:55,579 --> 00:16:56,850
we found it and was, like, let's go

476
00:16:56,850 --> 00:16:57,985
drag that bare back

477
00:16:58,358 --> 00:17:00,660
and then get back in the trees, and

478
00:17:00,660 --> 00:17:03,297
then hopefully those g will come. Took like,

479
00:17:03,456 --> 00:17:05,049
3 steps back up into the woods and

480
00:17:05,049 --> 00:17:07,439
those g came like, running in. Wow.

481
00:17:08,156 --> 00:17:08,895
And I'm

482
00:17:09,272 --> 00:17:10,865
I'm like, well, there's those g sleeves like,

483
00:17:11,024 --> 00:17:13,349
just talking to my dad. You're staying there

484
00:17:13,349 --> 00:17:15,102
up against this cut bank, you know, with

485
00:17:15,182 --> 00:17:16,855
I had my 03:38, and I wanted to

486
00:17:16,855 --> 00:17:18,289
shoot 1 of the 6 5 again, and

487
00:17:18,289 --> 00:17:19,245
my first thought was, like,

488
00:17:19,898 --> 00:17:22,450
which, you know, what whatever. III have no

489
00:17:22,450 --> 00:17:24,285
1 to blame but myself if I wanna

490
00:17:24,285 --> 00:17:26,061
whine about not shooting G bear

491
00:17:26,438 --> 00:17:28,113
because I was like, oh, man, my other

492
00:17:28,113 --> 00:17:28,830
rifles in the boat.

493
00:17:29,963 --> 00:17:30,122
And,

494
00:17:30,841 --> 00:17:32,778
but they can't came running in and

495
00:17:33,395 --> 00:17:35,790
he's running around, like, kinda became aware of

496
00:17:35,790 --> 00:17:36,987
us. I thought he was gonna try to

497
00:17:36,987 --> 00:17:39,319
run us off because like, they don't know

498
00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:41,880
what you are. Right. And he, like, runs

499
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,319
this, you know, runs to the right,

500
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,720
and then turns around goes back, stands up

501
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,319
on all on his hi legs. I'm like,

502
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,532
wow. That bears. Big.

503
00:17:49,804 --> 00:17:50,042
And

504
00:17:50,997 --> 00:17:52,189
and I had told my dad as soon

505
00:17:52,189 --> 00:17:53,382
as they they showed up I like, well,

506
00:17:53,461 --> 00:17:54,415
you might well go down to the boat

507
00:17:54,415 --> 00:17:55,688
and get that of the right retrieve that

508
00:17:55,688 --> 00:17:57,119
other their gun because you don't have 1.

509
00:17:57,929 --> 00:17:58,407
Yeah. And,

510
00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:02,071
he was close I mean, like, 15 yards

511
00:18:02,071 --> 00:18:03,505
away the whole time. So I was, like,

512
00:18:04,780 --> 00:18:06,373
figured and he came back around to the

513
00:18:06,373 --> 00:18:07,741
left. I thought he was... Just trying to

514
00:18:07,741 --> 00:18:09,488
get around this log pile and was gonna

515
00:18:09,488 --> 00:18:11,076
run... I was just close enough that I

516
00:18:11,076 --> 00:18:12,824
was gonna wait until he was lined up

517
00:18:12,824 --> 00:18:13,777
on me, and then just shoot him in

518
00:18:13,777 --> 00:18:14,095
the head.

519
00:18:15,048 --> 00:18:16,971
Because at that point, if they start... You

520
00:18:16,971 --> 00:18:18,324
know, I shoot them body shooting them, and

521
00:18:18,324 --> 00:18:20,233
they start spinning around or whatever. Like, I

522
00:18:20,233 --> 00:18:21,370
don't have anywhere to run

523
00:18:22,063 --> 00:18:23,098
or or maneuver.

524
00:18:23,814 --> 00:18:24,132
And

525
00:18:24,784 --> 00:18:26,777
You can get down that bank quick. Yeah

526
00:18:26,777 --> 00:18:29,329
real quick. Right the water right into water.

527
00:18:30,764 --> 00:18:33,077
But then he ran off, he ended running

528
00:18:33,077 --> 00:18:34,923
off and... We went got the bear,

529
00:18:35,957 --> 00:18:37,548
and I was, like, going down to the

530
00:18:37,548 --> 00:18:38,980
boat to get something and slipped,

531
00:18:39,696 --> 00:18:40,594
grabbed older

532
00:18:41,222 --> 00:18:43,072
like with my good arm, when my

533
00:18:43,526 --> 00:18:45,376
my good shoulder and

534
00:18:45,829 --> 00:18:48,292
just went kept sliding and stretched my lat

535
00:18:48,292 --> 00:18:50,039
must, like, tore something in my lap muscle.

536
00:18:51,166 --> 00:18:52,197
Instantly, I was just, like,

537
00:18:52,832 --> 00:18:54,101
crippled up from that, and then we ended

538
00:18:54,101 --> 00:18:55,211
up getting the bear on the boat, and

539
00:18:55,370 --> 00:18:56,108
I was just

540
00:18:56,639 --> 00:18:57,932
fl just

541
00:18:59,274 --> 00:19:01,269
just so pathetic trying to skin that bear

542
00:19:01,269 --> 00:19:03,424
that night because I couldn't pull. I couldn't

543
00:19:03,424 --> 00:19:05,021
pull with my left hand. Right?

544
00:19:05,659 --> 00:19:07,575
And I'm thinking like, man. I hope I

545
00:19:07,575 --> 00:19:09,019
hope Can climb a tree tomorrow.

546
00:19:10,210 --> 00:19:11,717
And I end up being able to. I

547
00:19:11,717 --> 00:19:13,384
mean, it was really sore for a long

548
00:19:13,384 --> 00:19:13,780
time, but,

549
00:19:15,050 --> 00:19:15,105
can

550
00:19:16,023 --> 00:19:16,263
Yeah.

551
00:19:17,142 --> 00:19:18,261
Just can't even get of, like,

552
00:19:19,779 --> 00:19:22,017
hurt myself left and right. And that dates

553
00:19:22,017 --> 00:19:23,156
has to add some

554
00:19:24,827 --> 00:19:26,105
They see they come in there too and

555
00:19:26,105 --> 00:19:27,701
they see the boat and they stop, and

556
00:19:27,701 --> 00:19:28,978
they like, look at the boat and they

557
00:19:28,978 --> 00:19:30,415
look at the bait, and they look back

558
00:19:30,415 --> 00:19:31,852
at the boat and they'll turn around and

559
00:19:31,852 --> 00:19:32,331
walk off.

560
00:19:33,144 --> 00:19:34,582
They're not gonna go... They just like, go

561
00:19:34,582 --> 00:19:36,100
back and then approach it to where they

562
00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:38,258
don't see the bow yeah, and come right

563
00:19:38,258 --> 00:19:39,856
and eat out of the bait anyhow.

564
00:19:42,342 --> 00:19:44,572
Yeah. He was... And That was a 7

565
00:19:44,572 --> 00:19:45,607
foot barrels good bear.

566
00:19:46,722 --> 00:19:48,235
He came. Initially, all I could see was

567
00:19:48,235 --> 00:19:50,161
his head like, through a... Little hole in

568
00:19:50,161 --> 00:19:51,674
the trees. I just happen to look up

569
00:19:51,674 --> 00:19:53,688
and see him coming down the bank

570
00:19:54,382 --> 00:19:55,895
from I'm on the left side. Yeah. On

571
00:19:55,895 --> 00:19:57,727
the left side. And... Because we can... We

572
00:19:57,727 --> 00:19:59,970
moved changed trees for the tree stands. That's

573
00:19:59,970 --> 00:20:01,720
why we moved the bait was because the

574
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,550
tree that we'd been hanging stands in was

575
00:20:03,550 --> 00:20:05,632
like lean and real bad. Well, it's I

576
00:20:05,632 --> 00:20:07,772
mean, the river was how high. Into that.

577
00:20:08,010 --> 00:20:10,230
Up into the woods the last year, which

578
00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:11,578
and I'm sure it ate away at that

579
00:20:11,578 --> 00:20:13,417
bank, and that tricks... That tree was... Perfect.

580
00:20:13,734 --> 00:20:15,085
Yeah. For 2 people to sit in and

581
00:20:15,085 --> 00:20:17,228
it had just enough lean where you could

582
00:20:17,228 --> 00:20:18,896
be, like, lean to get 2 guys could

583
00:20:18,896 --> 00:20:20,802
be leaned against the tree perfectly and 2

584
00:20:20,802 --> 00:20:23,043
tree stan sitting like that. Yeah. And it

585
00:20:23,043 --> 00:20:24,877
was really nice. And when you said that

586
00:20:25,036 --> 00:20:26,871
I was like, then I said something to

587
00:20:26,950 --> 00:20:28,386
Rob and Rob's was like, well, yeah. The

588
00:20:28,386 --> 00:20:30,379
river was, like, 20 feet higher last year

589
00:20:30,379 --> 00:20:31,496
than it is this year.

590
00:20:33,829 --> 00:20:34,149
Yeah.

591
00:20:34,869 --> 00:20:36,710
Going up some of those creek, it was

592
00:20:36,710 --> 00:20:37,929
like, you could see

593
00:20:38,309 --> 00:20:41,109
water line like, way up, it was pretty

594
00:20:41,109 --> 00:20:42,800
impressive. I don't know. Was that in the

595
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,592
spring time or spring? Yeah. Spring flood? Yep.

596
00:20:47,905 --> 00:20:50,298
Yeah. Do you guys get much much ice

597
00:20:50,298 --> 00:20:53,263
jamming out on the cusp swim? Yeah. It

598
00:20:53,263 --> 00:20:53,901
actually jammed

599
00:20:54,539 --> 00:20:55,815
bright below Bethel this year.

600
00:20:56,612 --> 00:20:58,765
And from Bethel 2 sack, which is about

601
00:20:58,765 --> 00:20:59,903
30 miles flooded

602
00:21:01,250 --> 00:21:02,522
both on the east and west side of

603
00:21:02,522 --> 00:21:05,226
the Cusco. And way up in the tundra

604
00:21:05,226 --> 00:21:06,578
g. I've never seen that before.

605
00:21:07,452 --> 00:21:09,441
And it flooded so I had bethel that,

606
00:21:10,808 --> 00:21:13,199
we were pulling logs with the lu. Yeah.

607
00:21:13,438 --> 00:21:13,996
Through the ice.

608
00:21:15,431 --> 00:21:16,706
When we were done in the evening, we

609
00:21:16,706 --> 00:21:18,460
just bought right to my buddy Mo how.

610
00:21:19,192 --> 00:21:22,482
Like serious roads and stuff is is pretty.

611
00:21:22,939 --> 00:21:24,852
Because watching your stuff, like, that's in your

612
00:21:24,852 --> 00:21:27,005
firewood time. Right? During break up when, like,

613
00:21:27,179 --> 00:21:29,336
bunch of logs are come. That's the easiest

614
00:21:29,336 --> 00:21:30,774
way to get firewood because it's... I mean,

615
00:21:30,934 --> 00:21:32,532
it's just right there, you know Yeah.

616
00:21:33,251 --> 00:21:33,751
I

617
00:21:34,703 --> 00:21:36,855
I used to get firewood with the snow

618
00:21:36,855 --> 00:21:39,326
machine, pulling a sled, but, yeah. It's so

619
00:21:39,326 --> 00:21:41,079
much wear and tear on your machine. Yeah.

620
00:21:41,318 --> 00:21:43,245
And you can only get a it's like,

621
00:21:43,404 --> 00:21:45,155
no you can't get that much. Right? Each

622
00:21:45,155 --> 00:21:47,247
trip. Yep. And we pulled,

623
00:21:47,782 --> 00:21:48,657
like, 20...

624
00:21:50,344 --> 00:21:51,938
Logs that were over 60 feet.

625
00:21:52,576 --> 00:21:54,409
So. Yeah. You could pull them pretty easy

626
00:21:54,409 --> 00:21:57,119
with the boat. But Yeah. Kind Maybe I

627
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:57,996
pulled them through the ice.

628
00:21:58,569 --> 00:22:00,401
Yeah. 1 of 1 of the logs we

629
00:22:00,401 --> 00:22:02,154
got was 84 feet long piece.

630
00:22:02,712 --> 00:22:04,624
And Had the come swift river. Yeah. It

631
00:22:04,624 --> 00:22:05,898
was it was a good piece of wood

632
00:22:05,898 --> 00:22:06,058
there.

633
00:22:08,699 --> 00:22:10,681
That tree is probably, like, 300 years old

634
00:22:10,681 --> 00:22:11,181
something

635
00:22:12,187 --> 00:22:13,614
chop it up and burn it. On its

636
00:22:13,614 --> 00:22:15,041
on its way out, do

637
00:22:16,009 --> 00:22:17,766
do those logs end up eating through your

638
00:22:17,766 --> 00:22:19,202
chains pretty good You get a bunch of

639
00:22:19,202 --> 00:22:20,480
silk in them or not too bad? Yeah.

640
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,976
Some some of them are filled with silk

641
00:22:23,035 --> 00:22:23,753
sand and rocks.

642
00:22:25,684 --> 00:22:26,402
But we usually,

643
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,656
we'll pull them up by the house

644
00:22:29,831 --> 00:22:32,224
and then cut them in sections and then

645
00:22:32,224 --> 00:22:33,740
load them up with the forklift.

646
00:22:34,218 --> 00:22:34,457
Nice.

647
00:22:35,588 --> 00:22:36,935
Then let them dry for a year or

648
00:22:36,935 --> 00:22:37,173
2,

649
00:22:40,106 --> 00:22:40,345
what?

650
00:22:42,961 --> 00:22:45,283
And Yeah. It was a good good spring

651
00:22:45,283 --> 00:22:46,397
flood this year is couple.

652
00:22:46,954 --> 00:22:48,386
Does anybody have a mill Do you put

653
00:22:48,386 --> 00:22:50,000
any of that stuff on a mill make

654
00:22:50,773 --> 00:22:52,205
people that have meals. Yeah. Yeah.

655
00:22:52,935 --> 00:22:56,031
My my buddy Brent just got 1 from

656
00:22:56,031 --> 00:22:56,531
the

657
00:22:57,221 --> 00:22:59,840
school and he's been milling logs. Nice.

658
00:23:00,412 --> 00:23:02,162
Yeah Well, because that was out at the

659
00:23:02,162 --> 00:23:03,435
lodge, like a lot of the... I don't

660
00:23:03,435 --> 00:23:04,628
know if all, but a lot of that

661
00:23:04,628 --> 00:23:07,268
lumber was from just drift stuff. Right? Well,

662
00:23:07,427 --> 00:23:09,575
everything like you we spend all spring bear

663
00:23:09,575 --> 00:23:09,893
season.

664
00:23:10,768 --> 00:23:13,313
You're going around looking at beaches for bears.

665
00:23:14,284 --> 00:23:15,723
And the beaches that they like to be

666
00:23:15,723 --> 00:23:18,120
on or, like, north facing they get weather

667
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:20,357
and get stuff washing up on them. So

668
00:23:20,357 --> 00:23:21,636
you end up with logs you end up

669
00:23:21,636 --> 00:23:22,036
with, like,

670
00:23:23,409 --> 00:23:23,968
There's no...

671
00:23:24,686 --> 00:23:26,384
All you have on a Fo and

672
00:23:26,842 --> 00:23:29,396
Cardiac is Spruce. Yep. So you end up

673
00:23:29,396 --> 00:23:31,073
with stuff from Southeast. You end up with

674
00:23:31,073 --> 00:23:33,484
red cedar and fur. We'll wash up on

675
00:23:33,484 --> 00:23:35,484
the beaches. So when you're looking for bears,

676
00:23:36,684 --> 00:23:39,164
unbeknownst to the clients, you're also looking for

677
00:23:39,164 --> 00:23:42,139
wood to mill to use for project at

678
00:23:42,139 --> 00:23:43,657
the... Yeah. And then we'll just be like,

679
00:23:43,817 --> 00:23:44,456
okay. Well, there's...

680
00:23:45,415 --> 00:23:47,333
Remember that there's logs on this beach. Remember

681
00:23:47,333 --> 00:23:48,532
there's logs on that beach and won't go

682
00:23:48,532 --> 00:23:49,890
back when there's a super high tide.

683
00:23:50,464 --> 00:23:52,222
And we'll yank everything and we normally like,

684
00:23:52,941 --> 00:23:54,220
do a trip where it takes a whole

685
00:23:54,220 --> 00:23:55,498
day to go and we just go Beach

686
00:23:55,498 --> 00:23:57,096
to beach to Beach and you pull everything

687
00:23:57,096 --> 00:23:57,975
out and get it floating,

688
00:23:58,709 --> 00:24:00,467
and you raft together, like, 5 or 6

689
00:24:00,467 --> 00:24:02,625
logs and just leave them tied together and

690
00:24:02,625 --> 00:24:04,542
go to another beach, get a bunch. And

691
00:24:04,542 --> 00:24:05,821
then by the end of the day, you're

692
00:24:05,821 --> 00:24:06,380
towing like,

693
00:24:07,272 --> 00:24:09,502
a quarter mile of logs. 5 or 6,

694
00:24:09,821 --> 00:24:11,095
5 or 6. 5 or 6 You just

695
00:24:11,095 --> 00:24:12,688
keep tie and stuff, tying and stuff, tying

696
00:24:12,688 --> 00:24:14,758
and stuff and drag it all back, and

697
00:24:14,758 --> 00:24:16,922
it's like a entire day process to, like,

698
00:24:17,081 --> 00:24:17,877
get everything there.

699
00:24:18,513 --> 00:24:20,423
And then there's a a little bay that

700
00:24:20,423 --> 00:24:21,957
we'd pull the stuff up into

701
00:24:22,332 --> 00:24:23,764
because we're doing it on a super high

702
00:24:23,764 --> 00:24:26,405
tide. Yeah. And then it we tied up

703
00:24:26,405 --> 00:24:28,634
at high tide and so the... And then

704
00:24:28,634 --> 00:24:30,623
it's like, you got a month basically of

705
00:24:30,623 --> 00:24:32,056
the stuff being above tide line,

706
00:24:32,787 --> 00:24:33,900
to be able to deal with it and

707
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:35,173
figure out where you wanna put it and

708
00:24:35,173 --> 00:24:37,104
to pull it up to the sawmill and

709
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:39,228
sort stuff out as far as far... What's

710
00:24:39,228 --> 00:24:41,216
gonna be firewood, what's gonna be we're gonna

711
00:24:41,216 --> 00:24:42,034
use for

712
00:24:42,584 --> 00:24:44,342
structural pieces of wood or what we're gonna

713
00:24:44,342 --> 00:24:46,820
use for finished wood or whatever, and you

714
00:24:46,820 --> 00:24:49,057
get a good idea. You start looking at

715
00:24:49,057 --> 00:24:50,975
logs and then running them through the mill.

716
00:24:51,468 --> 00:24:52,738
Can be like that's gonna be a nice

717
00:24:52,738 --> 00:24:54,167
piece of wood. Like, I can tell by

718
00:24:54,167 --> 00:24:55,596
looking at that that it's gonna have good

719
00:24:55,596 --> 00:24:58,137
characteristics for finish wood or whatever, you know?

720
00:24:59,581 --> 00:25:01,409
So... But you gotta look at them and

721
00:25:01,409 --> 00:25:02,840
you gotta, like, spend a lot of time

722
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,509
with the hammer like knocking because they've been

723
00:25:04,509 --> 00:25:06,178
on the beach, just like, rolling around in

724
00:25:06,178 --> 00:25:07,927
a gravel just pack with rocks.

725
00:25:08,578 --> 00:25:09,771
So you, like, spend a lot of time

726
00:25:09,771 --> 00:25:12,635
with the hammer, like, knocking rocks and pieces

727
00:25:12,635 --> 00:25:14,544
of stuff out of the out of all

728
00:25:14,544 --> 00:25:14,942
the trees.

729
00:25:15,912 --> 00:25:18,384
Because you hit that saw blade, you know,

730
00:25:18,543 --> 00:25:21,014
it's on the mill 5T6 teeth on 1

731
00:25:21,014 --> 00:25:23,268
blade and 3 teeth on

732
00:25:24,138 --> 00:25:25,969
2 different blades of 6 more. So it's

733
00:25:25,969 --> 00:25:27,004
11 total teeth.

734
00:25:29,949 --> 00:25:31,643
6 of them are a quarter inch

735
00:25:32,194 --> 00:25:34,751
and 5. It's like our 3 take teens.

736
00:25:35,070 --> 00:25:35,310
Yeah.

737
00:25:36,189 --> 00:25:36,689
And

738
00:25:37,388 --> 00:25:38,666
you hit a rock with 1 of them,

739
00:25:38,826 --> 00:25:39,326
and

740
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,273
dirty expensive, and you only have so many

741
00:25:42,273 --> 00:25:44,187
of them and you got water off somewhere,

742
00:25:44,347 --> 00:25:46,022
and it's, like, you don't wanna hit rocks.

743
00:25:46,740 --> 00:25:47,035
Right

744
00:25:47,634 --> 00:25:50,835
worth extra time. Yeah. For sure. A little

745
00:25:50,835 --> 00:25:53,555
different than just a chainsaw chain. Right. Yeah.

746
00:25:55,089 --> 00:25:57,324
Yep, And you if you hit something substantial.

747
00:25:57,484 --> 00:25:59,320
It'll throw those teeth too, and then they're

748
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,236
just gone, you can't even, you know, tune

749
00:26:01,236 --> 00:26:03,071
them back up. They're totally gone.

750
00:26:06,431 --> 00:26:07,306
But, yeah,

751
00:26:08,419 --> 00:26:09,533
Login in with boats is fun.

752
00:26:10,328 --> 00:26:10,965
I like it.

753
00:26:11,614 --> 00:26:14,412
Yeah. It can get kinda sketchy, but it's

754
00:26:14,704 --> 00:26:16,843
it's worth it for me. You get a

755
00:26:16,843 --> 00:26:17,501
lot more

756
00:26:19,085 --> 00:26:20,605
through the ice then you do with the

757
00:26:20,605 --> 00:26:23,325
snow machine for sure. Right on. Plus if,

758
00:26:23,404 --> 00:26:25,565
you know, I save my snow machine for

759
00:26:25,565 --> 00:26:26,845
chasing Wolves. Yeah.

760
00:26:29,654 --> 00:26:31,249
There's a guy, like, 1 time I'm working

761
00:26:31,249 --> 00:26:33,641
for cal... Or for Bill W bought skin

762
00:26:33,641 --> 00:26:35,076
and skin and stuff. Made a lot of

763
00:26:35,076 --> 00:26:36,272
guys, there's a guy for, I think from

764
00:26:36,432 --> 00:26:38,603
Cal tag. That came in there Was talking

765
00:26:38,603 --> 00:26:40,041
about a pair of wolves. He run down.

766
00:26:40,201 --> 00:26:42,678
He's like had a brand new scan. It's

767
00:26:42,678 --> 00:26:43,957
like, by the end of it, it was

768
00:26:43,957 --> 00:26:45,635
packed of leaves and on fire. He's like,

769
00:26:45,715 --> 00:26:46,629
but I got the

770
00:26:47,962 --> 00:26:48,440
Straight.

771
00:26:49,954 --> 00:26:51,468
I got them both. 1 was a blue

772
00:26:51,468 --> 00:26:54,589
1 or something like that. Nice. The, sucks

773
00:26:54,589 --> 00:26:56,816
didn't suffice the scan. Yeah. Did you guys

774
00:26:56,816 --> 00:26:58,805
get what... Like, you have any decent snow

775
00:26:58,805 --> 00:27:00,077
out there this year. God we had...

776
00:27:00,889 --> 00:27:02,244
The best snow we had in a long

777
00:27:02,244 --> 00:27:04,478
time, but it was a lot of days

778
00:27:04,478 --> 00:27:06,631
it was overcast. Oh, and you can't do

779
00:27:06,631 --> 00:27:08,385
much with, you know, when it's overcast.

780
00:27:10,634 --> 00:27:12,808
Because, I mean, you could have

781
00:27:13,186 --> 00:27:14,722
a lot of snow or

782
00:27:15,578 --> 00:27:17,115
a lot of snow drifts.

783
00:27:17,732 --> 00:27:20,099
Can't see them. Yeah. Because it's flat light

784
00:27:20,298 --> 00:27:21,489
gets a little dangerous when you're going.

785
00:27:22,204 --> 00:27:24,292
Dangerous. I mean, I've I've had

786
00:27:24,903 --> 00:27:27,206
many close calls. 1 time, I was... I

787
00:27:27,206 --> 00:27:28,715
left Bethel was clear. I got up to

788
00:27:28,715 --> 00:27:29,271
the Yukon.

789
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,183
And a cloud leader just, like set over.

790
00:27:33,502 --> 00:27:35,331
Yeah. And I was so excited. I was

791
00:27:35,331 --> 00:27:36,500
by myself. I was

792
00:27:38,051 --> 00:27:39,881
with the 600 days going full throttle, I'll

793
00:27:39,881 --> 00:27:40,597
do, like, 60.

794
00:27:41,631 --> 00:27:43,086
And all of a sudden I hit this

795
00:27:43,143 --> 00:27:44,893
8 foot jump, and I probably flew, like,

796
00:27:45,052 --> 00:27:45,585
40 feet

797
00:27:46,259 --> 00:27:48,007
just boom I was like oh my gosh.

798
00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:50,469
And I was waiting. I was in the

799
00:27:50,469 --> 00:27:52,796
air just waiting to come down, like, my

800
00:27:52,852 --> 00:27:53,487
is gonna break.

801
00:27:54,138 --> 00:27:55,730
And I came down, and I was like,

802
00:27:56,447 --> 00:27:58,835
whoa, it didn't break. You know? And after

803
00:27:58,835 --> 00:28:01,701
that, III put my 600 days in eco

804
00:28:01,701 --> 00:28:01,940
mode.

805
00:28:03,467 --> 00:28:06,092
Slower down. Find myself, I better take it

806
00:28:06,092 --> 00:28:06,728
easy though.

807
00:28:07,444 --> 00:28:08,955
You know it's pretty bad when you had

808
00:28:08,955 --> 00:28:10,809
cap time to think about that like, oh,

809
00:28:10,970 --> 00:28:12,429
wait you're waiting to hit the

810
00:28:13,690 --> 00:28:16,169
Oh. Yep. And then I I ended up

811
00:28:16,169 --> 00:28:16,909
on a

812
00:28:17,690 --> 00:28:19,564
really big wolverine. The and

813
00:28:20,101 --> 00:28:21,936
he went in a small pat of trees

814
00:28:21,936 --> 00:28:22,096
like,

815
00:28:24,011 --> 00:28:25,468
spruce. Yeah. And

816
00:28:26,739 --> 00:28:28,257
he went in. I went around.

817
00:28:29,056 --> 00:28:30,814
By the time I made a 03:60, he

818
00:28:30,814 --> 00:28:31,852
came out in my tracks,

819
00:28:32,971 --> 00:28:33,471
and

820
00:28:34,503 --> 00:28:37,773
I I went around again, and he booked

821
00:28:37,773 --> 00:28:39,368
it straight to the, like, to the thick

822
00:28:39,527 --> 00:28:39,846
Timber.

823
00:28:40,404 --> 00:28:43,536
So I was within 90 seconds of

824
00:28:44,008 --> 00:28:46,001
being able to see him, but oh, man.

825
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,074
He was just... He he was a smart

826
00:28:48,074 --> 00:28:50,385
1 too. He like, he was huge. I

827
00:28:50,385 --> 00:28:51,661
swear his pause were like that big.

828
00:28:52,314 --> 00:28:54,070
I'm not even kidding. And that's the fastest

829
00:28:54,070 --> 00:28:55,747
will I'd ever been after.

830
00:28:56,625 --> 00:28:59,260
And we'll aren't that fast. Yeah. They just

831
00:28:59,260 --> 00:29:01,336
keep going. It seems like, yep.

832
00:29:03,903 --> 00:29:05,658
Yep. Olden and wiser or do you think

833
00:29:05,658 --> 00:29:08,609
like, it Chased him before? Oh, everything.

834
00:29:09,167 --> 00:29:09,327
Yeah.

835
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,240
Seen won't firm him to come back out

836
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,246
on your tracks where he can run faster

837
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:16,331
too, probably. Yep.

838
00:29:18,075 --> 00:29:18,709
Like... Yeah.

839
00:29:19,438 --> 00:29:21,111
Seen that where wolves don't wanna get off

840
00:29:21,111 --> 00:29:22,942
the trail because they can't... Because they know

841
00:29:22,942 --> 00:29:24,774
they can't run fast in the dark snow.

842
00:29:26,048 --> 00:29:28,529
And I've seen them. Those wolves. Dipped right

843
00:29:28,529 --> 00:29:30,037
off and watch me go by on my

844
00:29:30,037 --> 00:29:32,498
sled. Oh, interesting they stand that they duct

845
00:29:32,498 --> 00:29:34,324
in there to only about 15 feet off

846
00:29:34,324 --> 00:29:36,149
the trail that I was on. And when

847
00:29:36,308 --> 00:29:38,720
I had finished running my trap line and

848
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,200
came back.

849
00:29:39,759 --> 00:29:40,320
I was like,

850
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:42,240
I just was through here,

851
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,372
like 2 hours ago, And these tracks weren't

852
00:29:45,372 --> 00:29:46,809
here. So then, of course, I get off.

853
00:29:46,889 --> 00:29:49,604
And I'm like, those bastards they were running

854
00:29:49,604 --> 00:29:51,121

make trips because so it was skinny water.

901
00:31:27,868 --> 00:31:30,012
And when I got back to the stockpile,

902
00:31:30,329 --> 00:31:32,314

I was

905
00:31:35,109 --> 00:31:37,187
trying to trying to cut as multimeter as

906
00:31:37,267 --> 00:31:37,667
I can.

907
00:31:38,546 --> 00:31:40,703
So I washed the boat out and took

908
00:31:41,583 --> 00:31:43,181
splashing water there, You know, to get all

909
00:31:43,181 --> 00:31:44,220

00:31:44,874 --> 00:31:45,673
All the mud out.

911
00:31:47,431 --> 00:31:49,429
And I started bailing the boat out with

912
00:31:49,429 --> 00:31:51,127
the gallon oil

913
00:31:51,666 --> 00:31:52,865
container, plastic the container.

914
00:31:53,359 --> 00:31:55,599
And it was me making that scraping sound.

915
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,079
Right? Oh, no. And I had this moose

916
00:31:58,079 --> 00:31:59,519
on the on the beach.

917
00:32:01,373 --> 00:32:03,928
The 1 I had shot in this 45

918
00:32:03,928 --> 00:32:06,402
venture came out, and it was, like, 20

919
00:32:06,402 --> 00:32:08,477
feet away he was pissed. You, like, I

920
00:32:08,477 --> 00:32:09,276
as rolled forward,

921
00:32:09,928 --> 00:32:11,519
And I'm like, hey, dude I'm I'm here,

922
00:32:11,678 --> 00:32:13,190
You know, like, trying to get it to

923
00:32:13,190 --> 00:32:14,622
go away. He would not get away.

924
00:32:15,815 --> 00:32:17,823
Eventually, at... You know, he's closing in from

925
00:32:17,823 --> 00:32:19,422
20 feet. I pushed the boat in the

926
00:32:19,422 --> 00:32:19,922
water

927
00:32:20,540 --> 00:32:22,538
and took off God on a step and

928
00:32:22,538 --> 00:32:24,376
basically chase the lane with the boat. Yeah.

929
00:32:24,616 --> 00:32:26,190
And he only ran a hundred feet

930
00:32:26,707 --> 00:32:28,778
into the next pet of willow, and he

931
00:32:28,778 --> 00:32:30,609
stood there for the, like, the neck for

932
00:32:30,609 --> 00:32:32,361
the press of the time I was loading

933
00:32:32,361 --> 00:32:32,861

Yeah. That'll be cool, man. Yeah. That's a

998
00:35:02,973 --> 00:35:05,047
odd situation when you're doing, like, meta stuff

999
00:35:05,047 --> 00:35:05,686
and when you're like,

1000
00:35:06,579 --> 00:35:08,097

1001
00:35:09,376 --> 00:35:11,693
I hate something to do here. Now.

1002
00:35:15,623 --> 00:35:17,322

doing too much this spring get, but build

1008
00:35:33,198 --> 00:35:35,903
the rental cabin. Yeah. I also thinking it's

1009
00:35:35,903 --> 00:35:37,654
speaking of noise. It was it was pretty

1010
00:35:37,654 --> 00:35:38,472
funny. The

1011
00:35:39,820 --> 00:35:42,300
the big the real big berry I killed

1012
00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:43,099
this spring was

1013
00:35:44,539 --> 00:35:45,339
came run over.

1014
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:46,480
We had

1015
00:35:48,313 --> 00:35:49,750
real remote bait and we show it, like,

1016
00:35:49,909 --> 00:35:51,426
my dad and I went and we had

1017
00:35:51,426 --> 00:35:52,405
3 bates out

1018
00:35:52,783 --> 00:35:54,221
and checking them. And they were both... They're

1019
00:35:54,221 --> 00:35:55,578
all except for the 1 with the G

1020
00:35:55,578 --> 00:35:57,015
bears. Like that, it had G on it.

1021
00:35:57,745 --> 00:35:59,413
For a few days, but the re... The

1022
00:35:59,413 --> 00:36:01,478
other 2, like, had just barely started getting

1023
00:36:01,478 --> 00:36:03,940
hit. So we're kinda like fuck because it's

1024
00:36:03,940 --> 00:36:05,393
nice when they're just getting

1025
00:36:05,783 --> 00:36:07,215
cl by bears and you go in there

1026
00:36:07,215 --> 00:36:10,159
in clean house, but you got T323

1027
00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:10,318
bears.

1028
00:36:11,671 --> 00:36:13,183
You don't even go look for Just like,

1029
00:36:13,342 --> 00:36:15,507
oh, that 1, mark that 1 shoot an

1030
00:36:15,507 --> 00:36:17,262
1 that come We're in that way. We're

1031
00:36:17,262 --> 00:36:17,740
in that way.

1032
00:36:19,974 --> 00:36:20,213
It

1033
00:36:21,649 --> 00:36:22,526
so, like, we've...

1034
00:36:23,164 --> 00:36:24,440
For that was the first night, we killed

1035
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:25,913
that bear, and then

1036
00:36:26,770 --> 00:36:28,547
we had, like, that was the farthest

1037
00:36:29,165 --> 00:36:30,043
away from camp.

1038
00:36:30,762 --> 00:36:32,278
So we checked the other 2 on the

1039
00:36:32,278 --> 00:36:34,367
way and they're, like, the next the next

1040
00:36:34,367 --> 00:36:35,719
day, Gotta, you know, you're up to, like,

1041
00:36:35,798 --> 00:36:36,673
04:00 in the morning.

1042
00:36:37,548 --> 00:36:38,048
So

1043
00:36:38,583 --> 00:36:40,253
sleep in, then dealt with his bear.

1044
00:36:41,223 --> 00:36:42,497
Had already scanned it and hung up the

1045
00:36:42,497 --> 00:36:44,648
meat, but I like flashed and got got

1046
00:36:44,648 --> 00:36:45,683
his height on the salt.

1047
00:36:47,674 --> 00:36:49,028
Excuse me. And

1048
00:36:49,999 --> 00:36:52,550
we ended up that afternoon evening. Like, let's

1049
00:36:52,550 --> 00:36:54,145
check these baits and we'd left our tree

1050
00:36:54,145 --> 00:36:55,501
stands at that 1. So it's like, well,

1051
00:36:55,660 --> 00:36:57,095
if nothing's happened at that 1, we'll move

1052
00:36:57,095 --> 00:36:58,824
them move the stands because we got

1053
00:36:59,501 --> 00:36:59,740
like,

1054
00:37:00,378 --> 00:37:03,405
it's pretty slick setup up these well, the

1055
00:37:03,405 --> 00:37:05,874
millennium stands, but just pretty easy stands to

1056
00:37:05,874 --> 00:37:07,728
move and hang on trees and

1057
00:37:08,757 --> 00:37:10,273
that's what we're just talking about is you

1058
00:37:10,273 --> 00:37:11,949
just get the blocks. The... Yeah. And I

1059
00:37:11,949 --> 00:37:14,981
got of like, at each spot, then just

1060
00:37:14,981 --> 00:37:16,355
take the actual stand and hanging it off

1061
00:37:16,434 --> 00:37:18,114
You. Run up the tree and stick it

1062
00:37:18,114 --> 00:37:19,795
in the block. Nice. But

1063
00:37:20,835 --> 00:37:22,135
so we went up

1064
00:37:22,434 --> 00:37:24,594
kinda got late that night. We went up

1065
00:37:24,594 --> 00:37:25,094
and

1066
00:37:25,409 --> 00:37:27,318
that nothing had been back there. So moved

1067
00:37:27,318 --> 00:37:28,909
the stands back to the next bait down,

1068
00:37:29,227 --> 00:37:30,046
didn't see anything

1069
00:37:30,739 --> 00:37:32,648
from, like, 08:30 to midnight. And I was

1070
00:37:32,648 --> 00:37:34,081
looking at pictures picture. I'm like, man, All

1071
00:37:34,081 --> 00:37:35,768
these freaking bears are coming in at, like,

1072
00:37:35,927 --> 00:37:38,100
in the... During the day in the afternoon,

1073
00:37:38,396 --> 00:37:39,113
early evening.

1074
00:37:40,149 --> 00:37:41,583
I was like, it was like, only my

1075
00:37:41,583 --> 00:37:42,698
midnight, but I was like, let's get out

1076
00:37:42,698 --> 00:37:43,016
of here.

1077
00:37:44,225 --> 00:37:44,725
And

1078
00:37:45,418 --> 00:37:47,088
come back at like, 01:00 in the afternoon.

1079
00:37:47,327 --> 00:37:49,395
Sit for a few hours here because we

1080
00:37:49,395 --> 00:37:52,074
had 3 nights to haunt. Like, let's sit

1081
00:37:52,672 --> 00:37:54,584
sit a few hours here, then if we

1082
00:37:54,584 --> 00:37:56,337
don't see anything or whatever we'll move or

1083
00:37:56,337 --> 00:37:58,010
kill 1 we'll move to the other spot

1084
00:37:58,010 --> 00:37:59,365
because it was starting to get bears on

1085
00:37:59,365 --> 00:37:59,764
it too.

1086
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:00,879
And

1087
00:38:02,327 --> 00:38:03,679
so we do that. And I, like, I'm

1088
00:38:03,679 --> 00:38:05,429
driving the boat. We pull up on this

1089
00:38:05,429 --> 00:38:06,304
creek, and we...

1090
00:38:07,019 --> 00:38:07,758
It's like

1091
00:38:08,132 --> 00:38:10,335
15 yards uphill, like, up a pretty

1092
00:38:10,694 --> 00:38:12,692
not steep bank, but a slope bank and

1093
00:38:12,692 --> 00:38:14,450
then, like, 20 yards over to the bait.

1094
00:38:15,409 --> 00:38:17,406
And I pull up, like, just, like, touch

1095
00:38:17,406 --> 00:38:19,059
the bank with the

1096
00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:21,180
boat my dad's in front, he was gonna

1097
00:38:21,180 --> 00:38:21,660
tie it off.

1098
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:24,140
And I was like, oh, shit. I see

1099
00:38:24,140 --> 00:38:26,380
this huge freaking Blackberry had pop up over

1100
00:38:26,380 --> 00:38:28,380
the bank like, right up above us. I

1101
00:38:28,380 --> 00:38:29,432
was like, get down down.

1102
00:38:31,028 --> 00:38:32,704
Grab this rifle, and that... That's like a

1103
00:38:32,704 --> 00:38:34,700
whole another story this rifle I have yet

1104
00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:36,536
to right review up for, but

1105
00:38:37,189 --> 00:38:38,624
like a new new model,

1106
00:38:39,262 --> 00:38:41,416
super, you know, like, it hasn't been released

1107
00:38:41,416 --> 00:38:43,888
yet, and I had trouble with it on

1108
00:38:43,888 --> 00:38:46,302
the range like, feeding under

1109
00:38:46,694 --> 00:38:48,926
if I had 4 rounds and it A65I

1110
00:38:48,926 --> 00:38:51,158
had trouble of feeding if I had 4

1111
00:38:51,158 --> 00:38:52,912
rounds in the magazine, and I thought 3

1112
00:38:52,912 --> 00:38:54,188
rounds seemed to work fine. So that's what

1113
00:38:54,267 --> 00:38:54,506
I had.

1114
00:38:55,238 --> 00:38:57,779
Sure. Shit. Go, like, jammed that just stick

1115
00:38:57,779 --> 00:39:00,558
that thing hard, man like it jammed. Wow.

1116
00:39:01,035 --> 00:39:03,099
And luckily, I knew what was going on.

1117
00:39:03,179 --> 00:39:04,941
So I did, like, drop all the all

1118
00:39:04,941 --> 00:39:07,724
the bullets out. Grab 1, stuck it in

1119
00:39:07,724 --> 00:39:09,473
and, like, shot that barrett in the chest

1120
00:39:09,473 --> 00:39:10,903
just to he was, like, getting nervous because

1121
00:39:10,903 --> 00:39:12,255
all I could see is from his bottom

1122
00:39:12,255 --> 00:39:13,368
of his chest his head.

1123
00:39:14,499 --> 00:39:14,818
And

1124
00:39:16,656 --> 00:39:18,255
yeah, he ran off and died and end

1125
00:39:18,255 --> 00:39:18,893
up being, like,

1126
00:39:19,932 --> 00:39:21,530
almost the biggest black Have I've ever killed.

1127
00:39:21,850 --> 00:39:22,090
Nice.

1128
00:39:23,142 --> 00:39:24,816
Some people don't believe me, but he was

1129
00:39:24,816 --> 00:39:25,693
7 foot 7,

1130
00:39:26,729 --> 00:39:28,026
like 19 and

1131
00:39:28,483 --> 00:39:29,679
3 sixteenth skull.

1132
00:39:31,209 --> 00:39:33,287
To being mike bear. Was huge. Like,

1133
00:39:33,926 --> 00:39:36,324
should be... I mean, aside from, like, just

1134
00:39:36,324 --> 00:39:38,002
getting lucky and killing a frequent 1 when

1135
00:39:38,082 --> 00:39:39,840
I was a kid when I was 18,

1136
00:39:40,893 --> 00:39:43,624
but just a massive bear. But we

1137
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:45,753
dragged him back to the boat and

1138
00:39:47,347 --> 00:39:49,418
and had my dad, like, power the boat

1139
00:39:49,418 --> 00:39:51,266
into the bank to drag him on the

1140
00:39:51,266 --> 00:39:51,904
bow and

1141
00:39:52,781 --> 00:39:54,375
it's like, well, let's, like... This is like

1142
00:39:54,375 --> 00:39:55,571
01:00 in the afternoon.

1143
00:39:55,969 --> 00:39:57,405
At hindsight, it was the first time he'd

1144
00:39:57,405 --> 00:39:58,281
even been to the bait.

1145
00:39:59,172 --> 00:40:00,522
At all. And had been there for like,

1146
00:40:00,601 --> 00:40:02,666
20 minutes and heard the boat and came

1147
00:40:02,666 --> 00:40:05,127
running over to sea like, what? They got

1148
00:40:05,127 --> 00:40:07,445
the trail camp pictures of him, like, leaving

1149
00:40:07,445 --> 00:40:09,353
to go see what voice was.

1150
00:40:10,704 --> 00:40:11,022
And

1151
00:40:13,247 --> 00:40:14,836
similar thing happened the day before with a

1152
00:40:14,916 --> 00:40:16,522
G bear in there, but wasn't till, like,

1153
00:40:16,682 --> 00:40:18,197
we actually walked up there that I saw

1154
00:40:18,197 --> 00:40:19,313
his head pop up. I'm like,

1155
00:40:20,190 --> 00:40:21,625
we gotta back up a little bit dead

1156
00:40:21,625 --> 00:40:23,299
because he's coming over to see what what

1157
00:40:23,299 --> 00:40:25,309
just made that noise and I don't have

1158
00:40:25,309 --> 00:40:26,587
room. Now it was in the middle of

1159
00:40:26,587 --> 00:40:27,706
the day. That was the middle of the

1160
00:40:27,706 --> 00:40:28,765
day too. So

1161
00:40:31,381 --> 00:40:32,840
we go, like, grab this

1162
00:40:33,152 --> 00:40:34,662
start taking stands down and we make, like,

1163
00:40:34,742 --> 00:40:35,934
a trip back to the boat, my dad's

1164
00:40:35,934 --> 00:40:36,967
in front of me. And I get down

1165
00:40:36,967 --> 00:40:39,271
there, and he's, like, looking confused, and I

1166
00:40:39,271 --> 00:40:40,957
look and the boat not where the boat

1167
00:40:40,957 --> 00:40:42,791
supposed to be. They look over and it's,

1168
00:40:42,871 --> 00:40:44,943
like, out in the middle of the creek

1169
00:40:44,943 --> 00:40:47,575
floating down? Oh, no. I'm like, did you

1170
00:40:47,575 --> 00:40:49,901
tie the boat? He's like, no. Yeah. Un

1171
00:40:49,901 --> 00:40:52,153
tied Un tied it through the rope

1172
00:40:52,529 --> 00:40:54,122
kicked it off. And I see the rope

1173
00:40:54,122 --> 00:40:56,034
on the tree still. I was like, oh,

1174
00:40:56,512 --> 00:40:58,025
because you had 1 of those spring, like,

1175
00:40:58,439 --> 00:40:58,939
cara

1176
00:40:59,315 --> 00:40:59,815
type

1177
00:41:00,192 --> 00:41:00,692
spring

1178
00:41:01,068 --> 00:41:03,220
snap links to clip the bow line on?

1179
00:41:03,539 --> 00:41:05,824
No good. And 1 other time when I

1180
00:41:05,943 --> 00:41:07,451
kid like I had that happen where you

1181
00:41:07,451 --> 00:41:08,878
power into the bank and the bank, like,

1182
00:41:09,037 --> 00:41:10,068
pops that clip off,

1183
00:41:10,862 --> 00:41:12,289
and then the boat just floats away.

1184
00:41:13,099 --> 00:41:15,260
And you're lucky you weren't out of, like,

1185
00:41:15,420 --> 00:41:17,659
where you're off sitting for 3 hours somewhere.

1186
00:41:18,059 --> 00:41:19,819
Very lucky. Yeah. So what did you do,

1187
00:41:19,980 --> 00:41:21,260
Did he swim after the. I'd just swim

1188
00:41:21,260 --> 00:41:22,059
out to the boat. Yeah.

1189
00:41:22,871 --> 00:41:23,981
I had to run down to the bank

1190
00:41:23,981 --> 00:41:25,726
and stripped down my underwear and swim out

1191
00:41:25,726 --> 00:41:25,884
there,

1192
00:41:26,756 --> 00:41:29,294
and then my fat ass I couldn't give

1193
00:41:29,294 --> 00:41:31,853
myself into boat. And Had hurt myself, the

1194
00:41:31,853 --> 00:41:33,445
night before so was even more crippled up,

1195
00:41:33,684 --> 00:41:35,914
Like, just like, a be blue trying to,

1196
00:41:35,994 --> 00:41:38,065
like, roll myself in that boat couldn't do

1197
00:41:38,065 --> 00:41:39,315
it. So I had to

1198
00:41:39,831 --> 00:41:41,501
I had to grab the bow and and

1199
00:41:41,501 --> 00:41:42,693
kick my way over the bank.

1200
00:41:43,488 --> 00:41:43,988
Hindsight

1201
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,111
I've told them I've told him Hunt to

1202
00:41:46,111 --> 00:41:48,119
get boats when he when you can't get

1203
00:41:48,119 --> 00:41:48,679
over the edge,

1204
00:41:49,639 --> 00:41:51,400
you reach up and drop the engine and

1205
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,239
stand on the back... On the lower unit

1206
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:54,839
lower unit and you climb right into the

1207
00:41:54,839 --> 00:41:55,559
back easily.

1208
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,282
Someone like a swim deck. Yeah. So someone

1209
00:41:58,282 --> 00:41:59,632
was telling me you get up there and

1210
00:41:59,632 --> 00:42:02,255
you could get mount, like, stand on the

1211
00:42:02,255 --> 00:42:04,097
lower unit, bear hug that thing use your

1212
00:42:04,097 --> 00:42:05,552
electric room to live you.

1213
00:42:07,995 --> 00:42:10,223
Yeah. In the situations that I've had to

1214
00:42:10,223 --> 00:42:10,541
do it.

1215
00:42:11,592 --> 00:42:13,188
And it's always up. So you gotta reach

1216
00:42:13,188 --> 00:42:15,102
up and... Trim it down. Trim it down

1217
00:42:15,102 --> 00:42:16,538
to get it so then you can get

1218
00:42:16,538 --> 00:42:18,931
on that. Because I truck and then I

1219
00:42:18,931 --> 00:42:20,366
gave it all I had. I got 1

1220
00:42:20,366 --> 00:42:22,690
point on the side. I I, like, got

1221
00:42:22,690 --> 00:42:24,440
my heel hooked over it, but just must've

1222
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,906
an been empathetic man. I tried I couldn't

1223
00:42:26,906 --> 00:42:28,912
check couldn't do it he. Couldn't hear dad's

1224
00:42:28,912 --> 00:42:30,188
up there laughing. And he's like, he doesn't

1225
00:42:30,188 --> 00:42:31,863
even know that I un clipped that on

1226
00:42:31,863 --> 00:42:32,262
purpose.

1227
00:42:34,974 --> 00:42:35,293
No.

1228
00:42:35,851 --> 00:42:38,418
But yeah, no harm done at least yeah,

1229
00:42:38,656 --> 00:42:40,721
just lucky and then it's like, yeah, not

1230
00:42:40,721 --> 00:42:42,548
ever. Because that's why I use a just

1231
00:42:42,548 --> 00:42:44,454
a quick link on my boat that you

1232
00:42:44,454 --> 00:42:47,155
can thread closed and it's not gonna come

1233
00:42:47,155 --> 00:42:47,314
undone.

1234
00:42:48,363 --> 00:42:50,036
The layer of natural lock,

1235
00:42:50,594 --> 00:42:52,744
that natural lock tight, some rust on there.

1236
00:42:53,063 --> 00:42:53,382
Yeah.

1237
00:42:54,498 --> 00:42:55,692
That time, Jordan and I went to dear

1238
00:42:55,852 --> 00:42:56,011
Hunting.

1239
00:42:56,728 --> 00:42:57,547
That was in

1240
00:42:58,334 --> 00:42:59,366
He's to end of August,

1241
00:42:59,842 --> 00:43:01,431
and we left from the lodge. We took

1242
00:43:01,431 --> 00:43:01,931
a

1243
00:43:03,177 --> 00:43:04,209
28

1244
00:43:04,209 --> 00:43:06,849
foot c sport with the raf for the

1245
00:43:06,849 --> 00:43:08,921
sea sport. And we went over and we

1246
00:43:08,921 --> 00:43:10,913
were gonna hike up, like, 3 miles up

1247
00:43:10,913 --> 00:43:12,347
up into the Alpine where the deer were

1248
00:43:12,347 --> 00:43:13,223
at that time of year.

1249
00:43:14,020 --> 00:43:14,976
Was this like, august?

1250
00:43:15,548 --> 00:43:18,036
Is is in August. Yeah. So we

1251
00:43:18,490 --> 00:43:18,888
go over,

1252
00:43:19,762 --> 00:43:21,614
anchor up the boat, and it's kinda like

1253
00:43:21,829 --> 00:43:22,966
it's protected

1254
00:43:23,673 --> 00:43:25,424
but it's not... I don't know It's hard

1255
00:43:25,424 --> 00:43:27,096
to explain it It gets real deep in

1256
00:43:27,096 --> 00:43:29,005
your, like, in close to the shore where

1257
00:43:29,005 --> 00:43:30,916
we anchor up the boat. And then we

1258
00:43:30,916 --> 00:43:32,428
paddle in a little raft.

1259
00:43:33,798 --> 00:43:34,997
Pull that thing up in the woods and

1260
00:43:34,997 --> 00:43:35,716
leave and hike up.

1261
00:43:37,633 --> 00:43:39,411
We came out of the tree line

1262
00:43:40,363 --> 00:43:41,716
And I turned around a look, and I

1263
00:43:41,716 --> 00:43:42,114
was like,

1264
00:43:42,909 --> 00:43:44,819
is that where we left that boat and

1265
00:43:44,819 --> 00:43:45,853
had started blowing,

1266
00:43:46,888 --> 00:43:48,639
and Jordan turns around. And he's like,

1267
00:43:49,608 --> 00:43:51,041
I don't think so. And I was like,

1268
00:43:51,518 --> 00:43:52,654
we need to start running

1269
00:43:53,188 --> 00:43:53,688
down

1270
00:43:54,064 --> 00:43:56,291
right now because we're like, we've rate... We

1271
00:43:56,291 --> 00:43:57,985
have V radios, but

1272
00:43:58,693 --> 00:44:00,362
the only option would be to call the

1273
00:44:00,362 --> 00:44:02,111
coast guard because where we were. There's a

1274
00:44:02,111 --> 00:44:04,416
mountain between us and the lodge to communicate

1275
00:44:04,416 --> 00:44:05,926
and nobody else was out and boats. Like,

1276
00:44:06,006 --> 00:44:07,357
if there had Had been people out fishing,

1277
00:44:07,929 --> 00:44:09,205
from the lodge I could've have called them

1278
00:44:09,205 --> 00:44:09,923
on handheld.

1279
00:44:10,401 --> 00:44:11,996
I mean, like, come get me. I think

1280
00:44:11,996 --> 00:44:13,773
the only thing that saved us was

1281
00:44:14,230 --> 00:44:16,065
how much anchor line had out and it

1282
00:44:16,065 --> 00:44:18,233
was dragging through kelp and shit. Flowing it

1283
00:44:18,233 --> 00:44:20,149
down. But it was blowing out into the

1284
00:44:20,228 --> 00:44:21,904
Gulf of Alaska right out of this bay,

1285
00:44:22,543 --> 00:44:23,261
like, headed.

1286
00:44:23,900 --> 00:44:25,336
So we run down and we gotten that

1287
00:44:25,336 --> 00:44:25,836
little

1288
00:44:26,150 --> 00:44:28,150
sci. I couldn't even, like, move for 3

1289
00:44:28,150 --> 00:44:28,950
days after that.

1290
00:44:29,590 --> 00:44:30,390
We... I was like,

1291
00:44:31,110 --> 00:44:33,110
we'll leave our backpacks. We'll leave everything. So

1292
00:44:33,110 --> 00:44:34,881
it's just us in here. And I was

1293
00:44:34,881 --> 00:44:36,309
like, I'll pat on the right, you paddle

1294
00:44:36,309 --> 00:44:37,657
on the left. And when you feel like

1295
00:44:37,657 --> 00:44:39,005
your arms are gonna fall off,

1296
00:44:39,957 --> 00:44:42,178
we'll just switch. And then you'll be pat

1297
00:44:42,178 --> 00:44:43,701
on the on your right side, and I'll

1298
00:44:43,701 --> 00:44:46,002
be pat on my left side, and we

1299
00:44:46,002 --> 00:44:48,144
just, like, took us like an hour, and

1300
00:44:48,303 --> 00:44:50,802
I was like, we're just bare slowly

1301
00:44:51,734 --> 00:44:54,278
gaining on the boat as it's blown, everything.

1302
00:44:54,438 --> 00:44:56,608
So we're, like, paddle after it. It's blowing

1303
00:44:56,982 --> 00:44:58,731
out into the gulf of Alaska and we're

1304
00:44:58,731 --> 00:44:59,129
just like,

1305
00:45:00,098 --> 00:45:01,445
Come on. Come on. Come on. And it

1306
00:45:01,445 --> 00:45:02,500
was just because

1307
00:45:03,190 --> 00:45:05,409
wind randomly picked up, and we had it

1308
00:45:05,409 --> 00:45:07,605
anchored in a rock pile, but it just

1309
00:45:07,882 --> 00:45:09,949
didn't. It just didn't... It wasn't. You know,

1310
00:45:10,028 --> 00:45:10,528
we

1311
00:45:10,902 --> 00:45:12,968
got the anchor out, put a ton of

1312
00:45:12,968 --> 00:45:14,875
scope out, back down on it, and I'm

1313
00:45:14,875 --> 00:45:17,034
like, okay. It's solid and I've never had

1314
00:45:17,034 --> 00:45:18,486
that happen before, but

1315
00:45:19,335 --> 00:45:21,795
lesson learned. That shit happens, you know? And

1316
00:45:21,795 --> 00:45:22,033
there's...

1317
00:45:22,985 --> 00:45:26,272
I shit. Scares dragon through that dragon through

1318
00:45:26,272 --> 00:45:27,811
kelp, I think is what

1319
00:45:28,349 --> 00:45:30,108
the anchor had when we finally got in

1320
00:45:30,108 --> 00:45:31,387
the boat and pulled the anchor.

1321
00:45:32,106 --> 00:45:34,195
There was so much kelp that was caught

1322
00:45:34,195 --> 00:45:35,944
in the anchor line and, like, packed up

1323
00:45:35,944 --> 00:45:37,932
on the anchor. That had... Just like, slowed

1324
00:45:37,932 --> 00:45:40,000
it It was, like, pulled way out, scoped

1325
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,193
way out. Yeah.

1326
00:45:42,082 --> 00:45:43,749
It's kinda working as a somewhat of a

1327
00:45:43,749 --> 00:45:44,305
sea anchor.

1328
00:45:44,860 --> 00:45:47,163
Yeah. But what a shitty feeling when you're

1329
00:45:47,163 --> 00:45:49,227
standing and you look down, you're like, that's

1330
00:45:49,227 --> 00:45:50,497
not where we put the boat as it?

1331
00:45:51,548 --> 00:45:53,145
And he was just, like, looked at... Did

1332
00:45:53,145 --> 00:45:54,103
you drop your packs?

1333
00:45:54,981 --> 00:45:57,296
No. We took our packs all the way

1334
00:45:57,296 --> 00:45:59,611
down to the to the beach because we

1335
00:45:59,611 --> 00:46:02,093
were, like, shit 3 miles away from the...

1336
00:46:02,411 --> 00:46:03,922
But... And we had just climbed up, like,

1337
00:46:04,161 --> 00:46:05,536
super steep. So

1338
00:46:05,911 --> 00:46:09,250
go going down, it was fast, like, not

1339
00:46:09,250 --> 00:46:12,050
a big deal. Going down, but still, it's

1340
00:46:12,050 --> 00:46:13,721
like, soon as you run into the woods,

1341
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,233
you're like, you can't see the boat until

1342
00:46:15,233 --> 00:46:16,347
you come out on the beach, and you

1343
00:46:16,347 --> 00:46:17,780
got a ding to jump in You you

1344
00:46:17,780 --> 00:46:19,744
no idea going and you hope you can

1345
00:46:19,864 --> 00:46:21,553
still see it. But my

1346
00:46:21,925 --> 00:46:22,560
hold up was...

1347
00:46:23,353 --> 00:46:24,701
I was like, well, once we get out

1348
00:46:24,701 --> 00:46:26,683
here, if we're, like, we're fucked, we can't

1349
00:46:26,683 --> 00:46:28,922
catch it. I'll get on Channel 16. I'll

1350
00:46:28,922 --> 00:46:30,036
call the Coast guard and be like, hey.

1351
00:46:30,752 --> 00:46:32,740
Can you relay a message to the lodge

1352
00:46:32,740 --> 00:46:34,704
and tell somebody to come with a boat

1353
00:46:34,824 --> 00:46:36,738
and I lost the tell him I lost

1354
00:46:36,738 --> 00:46:37,615
the boat. Yeah.

1355
00:46:40,407 --> 00:46:42,560
But that didn't have to happen. So we

1356
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:43,676
waited, like, 2 days and we're were like,

1357
00:46:43,836 --> 00:46:43,995
so,

1358
00:46:47,028 --> 00:46:48,775
It's like a lot of narrow misses have

1359
00:46:48,775 --> 00:46:50,838
been the the... Yeah, I don't have to

1360
00:46:50,838 --> 00:46:52,427
fortunately be told. Yeah.

1361
00:46:53,554 --> 00:46:54,913
It's nice if I can tell the story

1362
00:46:54,913 --> 00:46:56,132
and somebody else

1363
00:46:57,790 --> 00:46:59,468
goes the extra mile. I don't know what

1364
00:46:59,468 --> 00:47:00,987
else you could have done in a situation

1365
00:47:00,987 --> 00:47:02,505
like that to anchor the boat up better

1366
00:47:02,505 --> 00:47:03,005
because

1367
00:47:03,478 --> 00:47:04,750
we found a rock pile to put the

1368
00:47:04,750 --> 00:47:05,704
anchor in, which is, like,

1369
00:47:06,578 --> 00:47:08,247
you know, how you do it to get

1370
00:47:08,247 --> 00:47:09,757
it so that you know it's gonna stay.

1371
00:47:10,075 --> 00:47:10,313
Yeah.

1372
00:47:11,045 --> 00:47:12,483
And it's the same thing I done tons

1373
00:47:12,483 --> 00:47:14,241
of times. And just for some reason, it

1374
00:47:14,241 --> 00:47:16,479
wasn't... It wasn't hung up good enough. In

1375
00:47:16,479 --> 00:47:17,518
right spot, you know?

1376
00:47:21,681 --> 00:47:23,906
My sister lodge just bought a sea sport.

1377
00:47:24,224 --> 00:47:27,005
Yeah. Yeah. And I think it's like a

1378
00:47:27,005 --> 00:47:29,174
25 foot. K. It's gonna

1379
00:47:29,564 --> 00:47:31,795
on the 02:50 on the back. Nice.

1380
00:47:33,230 --> 00:47:35,142
And I've never driven a boat that big

1381
00:47:35,142 --> 00:47:35,642
and

1382
00:47:36,178 --> 00:47:37,190
I mean, it it was

1383
00:47:38,342 --> 00:47:38,898
It was good,

1384
00:47:39,692 --> 00:47:40,192
but

1385
00:47:41,123 --> 00:47:42,473
you get a little bit of waves and

1386
00:47:42,473 --> 00:47:43,688
it wants to list

1387
00:47:44,221 --> 00:47:45,754
1 way. Mh. And

1388
00:47:46,064 --> 00:47:48,535
we trimmed tabs trimmed tabs with the indicator.

1389
00:47:48,775 --> 00:47:51,086
Yep. But even still, like, I guess I'm

1390
00:47:51,086 --> 00:47:52,920
just learning how to drive that thing and

1391
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,004
those both are rock a lot. Yeah. They're...

1392
00:47:55,242 --> 00:47:57,068
That's a big big deep v haul in

1393
00:47:57,068 --> 00:47:59,054
those things. They're really good both. I mean,

1394
00:47:59,451 --> 00:48:01,118
I've been in that 28 Sea sport and

1395
00:48:01,118 --> 00:48:02,882
shit that I was just like, Won't they

1396
00:48:02,882 --> 00:48:04,875
are with variable like, even if they were...

1397
00:48:05,034 --> 00:48:07,266
Like, they're just still right writing. They'll write

1398
00:48:07,266 --> 00:48:08,940
themselves. Yeah. They'll go all the way over.

1399
00:48:11,264 --> 00:48:13,169
Those ones. That's that's just how they write

1400
00:48:13,169 --> 00:48:16,423
on. Like, they're... Yeah. Yep. Not a stable,

1401
00:48:16,820 --> 00:48:19,137
vote at all, but you can the design

1402
00:48:19,137 --> 00:48:21,041
of that hall that real deep v like

1403
00:48:21,041 --> 00:48:22,390
that is you can put those things in

1404
00:48:22,390 --> 00:48:24,374
some shitty weather. And they're and they do

1405
00:48:24,374 --> 00:48:24,533
good.

1406
00:48:25,327 --> 00:48:27,809
But trim tabs are crucial. For those for

1407
00:48:27,809 --> 00:48:29,010
those things, for sure.

1408
00:48:31,090 --> 00:48:32,930
Do have them where you can, like, remotely

1409
00:48:32,930 --> 00:48:35,410
adjust each app up and down to. Yeah.

1410
00:48:36,304 --> 00:48:38,221
Yeah. She had some switches in there without

1411
00:48:38,221 --> 00:48:39,979
the indicator light. So I he stopped that

1412
00:48:39,979 --> 00:48:42,615
switch and that was driving is kinda cool

1413
00:48:42,615 --> 00:48:44,789
like you just start listing when way and

1414
00:48:44,789 --> 00:48:45,589
push down or up on.

1415
00:48:46,469 --> 00:48:46,710
Yep.

1416
00:48:48,309 --> 00:48:50,630
All works out really. Needed more. I guess.

1417
00:48:50,949 --> 00:48:52,710
It's nice it has an outboard. Those boats.

1418
00:48:53,443 --> 00:48:55,278
The 1 got switched, I think they got

1419
00:48:55,278 --> 00:48:55,938
rid of

1420
00:48:57,034 --> 00:48:58,331
a couple of them, but

1421
00:48:59,268 --> 00:49:00,326
that 28

1422
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,280
got switched to honda 02:50 on it, but

1423
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,780
they all had volvo pent in them

1424
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:07,280
and those things suck.

1425
00:49:08,094 --> 00:49:09,528
You got that dog house in the back.

1426
00:49:09,688 --> 00:49:11,601
So the whole engine is, like, in the

1427
00:49:11,601 --> 00:49:12,957
way of where you wanna... Where you want

1428
00:49:12,957 --> 00:49:13,036
like,

1429
00:49:13,993 --> 00:49:15,668
doing anything in the boat. It's right in

1430
00:49:15,668 --> 00:49:15,986
the way.

1431
00:49:16,797 --> 00:49:17,297
And

1432
00:49:18,303 --> 00:49:20,760
then you gotta, you know, those volvo pent

1433
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,900
had, like a it's like a twin prop.

1434
00:49:24,664 --> 00:49:27,465
Deal and there were a problem. There's always

1435
00:49:27,465 --> 00:49:29,465
problems. So it's, like, anytime you went in,

1436
00:49:29,545 --> 00:49:31,385
you sucked up a little bit of seaweed

1437
00:49:31,385 --> 00:49:32,105
or anything.

1438
00:49:33,078 --> 00:49:35,863
That... Yeah. It was something got plugged up

1439
00:49:35,863 --> 00:49:38,727
and overheated and it's always plugged up and

1440
00:49:38,727 --> 00:49:40,398
overheating when you're, like, shit. We're getting get

1441
00:49:40,398 --> 00:49:42,957
blown into a pile of rock somewhere something

1442
00:49:42,957 --> 00:49:45,499
that it's never a convenient situation, you know?

1443
00:49:45,658 --> 00:49:47,565
Because even the outboard you get them like,

1444
00:49:47,803 --> 00:49:49,947
hot from seaweed but things just stop and

1445
00:49:49,947 --> 00:49:52,827
b, like, reverse pull it off exactly. Yeah.

1446
00:49:55,056 --> 00:49:57,523
So... Yeah. You guys run props mostly down

1447
00:49:57,523 --> 00:49:59,433
there in Bethel? Bethel? Yeah.

1448
00:50:00,562 --> 00:50:02,787
Yep. But you go up the correct like

1449
00:50:02,787 --> 00:50:04,377
qui look or keys are all you wanna

1450
00:50:04,377 --> 00:50:05,012
wanna a ji boat.

1451
00:50:06,284 --> 00:50:07,420
So I've got

1452
00:50:09,638 --> 00:50:11,789
board Jet, which is awesome, but I'm gonna

1453
00:50:11,789 --> 00:50:13,462
sell it because I really have eased for

1454
00:50:13,462 --> 00:50:13,962
an

1455
00:50:15,454 --> 00:50:16,330
or the valley.

1456
00:50:16,983 --> 00:50:19,298
Yeah. We move. I can't see I regret...

1457
00:50:19,458 --> 00:50:20,097
Like, I mean,

1458
00:50:22,012 --> 00:50:24,168
I'd have a little boat, but I kinda

1459
00:50:24,168 --> 00:50:25,046
like outboard.

1460
00:50:25,938 --> 00:50:27,690
And those like that murray. I mean, If

1461
00:50:27,690 --> 00:50:31,034
you see were board? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I've

1462
00:50:31,034 --> 00:50:32,865
driven, like, the sport Johns, like the Opt

1463
00:50:32,865 --> 00:50:33,821
max is a little bit.

1464
00:50:35,266 --> 00:50:37,967
Up in skinny water? Yeah. Scared. And you

1465
00:50:37,967 --> 00:50:38,920
still prefer an outboard?

1466
00:50:40,111 --> 00:50:42,255
Yeah. I mean, III

1467
00:50:42,255 --> 00:50:43,739
can't believe you're you have an with this

1468
00:50:43,940 --> 00:50:44,340
console.

1469
00:50:45,460 --> 00:50:45,699
Like.

1470
00:50:46,500 --> 00:50:47,940
I feel lot safer with the tilt handle.

1471
00:50:48,099 --> 00:50:50,179
You like to tell really hundred percent. Yeah.

1472
00:50:50,500 --> 00:50:52,260
Interesting. Well, you do get a fat. You

1473
00:50:52,260 --> 00:50:54,108
do get faster spots with the tiller for

1474
00:50:54,108 --> 00:50:56,256
sure. And you can turn so tight up

1475
00:50:56,256 --> 00:50:58,404
in them... It put any water with the

1476
00:50:58,404 --> 00:51:00,329
tiller. I mean I guess I don't I

1477
00:51:00,329 --> 00:51:02,881
don't really run too much super super skinny

1478
00:51:02,881 --> 00:51:03,120
stuff.

1479
00:51:03,758 --> 00:51:03,998
Boy.

1480
00:51:04,636 --> 00:51:07,188
Recent the recent years. This spring. Does this

1481
00:51:07,188 --> 00:51:08,863

1482
00:51:08,863 --> 00:51:10,392
go. It was pretty like this this pretty

1483
00:51:10,392 --> 00:51:13,973
many everywhere. Holy shit. It's finally. Shit has

1484
00:51:13,973 --> 00:51:15,246
come up. But I mean, that's just how

1485
00:51:15,405 --> 00:51:17,018
I got that boat and,

1486
00:51:17,964 --> 00:51:19,393
you know, with the console,

1487
00:51:19,869 --> 00:51:22,331
and I had bought it, like, old 2

1488
00:51:22,331 --> 00:51:23,625
stroke 35

1489
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:24,577
horse Johnson

the 2 bang? 2 bang Yep. Oh, that

1491
00:51:27,597 --> 00:51:29,192
thing. I liked... I finally got to where

1492
00:51:29,351 --> 00:51:31,766
I could fix basically anything that wasn't catastrophic.

1493
00:51:32,143 --> 00:51:34,456
Yeah. With that motor, and then it basically

1494
00:51:34,456 --> 00:51:37,012
did just it was catastrophic catastrophic dropping again.

1495
00:51:37,725 --> 00:51:39,549

my mercury.

1559
00:53:42,500 --> 00:53:44,408
Yeah. Those things are awesome. I like that

1560
00:53:44,408 --> 00:53:44,647
motor.

1561
00:53:47,588 --> 00:53:49,179
I like to know now.

1562
00:53:50,148 --> 00:53:52,314
I like that I've put that boat

1563
00:53:52,766 --> 00:53:53,480
to the test.

1564
00:53:54,194 --> 00:53:55,408
And I know that

1565
00:53:55,860 --> 00:53:57,623
when I do stick that thing, it's gonna

1566
00:53:57,623 --> 00:54:00,649
be bad. Yeah It's gonna be a long

1567
00:54:00,649 --> 00:54:01,604
way from the water.

1568
00:54:02,241 --> 00:54:05,050
Yeah because it'll go through absolutely no water

1569
00:54:05,108 --> 00:54:05,506
at all.

1570
00:54:06,396 --> 00:54:08,937
I mean, we're talking like that much it'll

1571
00:54:08,937 --> 00:54:10,208
go through an inch and inch and a

1572
00:54:10,208 --> 00:54:12,693
half of water, like no problem at all

1573
00:54:12,829 --> 00:54:14,099
for hundreds of yards.

1574
00:54:15,704 --> 00:54:16,743
So when I get to the... Tell you

1575
00:54:16,743 --> 00:54:18,501
that hundreds yards, and I'm like, holy, shit,

1576
00:54:18,581 --> 00:54:19,780
the inch and a half just went to

1577
00:54:19,780 --> 00:54:21,138
nothing. We're in big trouble.

1578
00:54:24,588 --> 00:54:26,917
Yeah. But... Have you guys seen those

1579
00:54:27,690 --> 00:54:28,190

1580
00:54:28,565 --> 00:54:30,315
inflatable chip bolts they got now? Yeah. Those

1581
00:54:30,315 --> 00:54:30,633

00:54:31,365 --> 00:54:34,164
Sa Horse solo or something like that. Yeah.

1583
00:54:34,405 --> 00:54:34,565

00:54:36,005 --> 00:54:38,265
Yeah. They seem to be getting really popular.

1585
00:54:39,774 --> 00:54:41,046
For a while, it seemed like a lot

1586
00:54:41,046 --> 00:54:42,000
of people because

1587
00:54:43,112 --> 00:54:43,612
finding

1588
00:54:45,021 --> 00:54:47,405
motors that were, like, lighten up because there

2 strokes that they were still making for

1591
00:54:52,210 --> 00:54:55,006
a while. The Tlc Base injected. Yeah. Because

1592
00:54:55,006 --> 00:54:57,492
basically no one's making 2 2 strokes anymore,

1593
00:54:57,731 --> 00:54:59,480
so they're not... Like, the 4 strokes are

1594
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,468
all heavier for Mh. The same horsepower.

1595
00:55:03,614 --> 00:55:07,127
Yeah. Have you used 1? I've used everything.

1596

inflatable.

1599
00:55:13,323 --> 00:55:14,570
The No, but I have

1600
00:55:15,324 --> 00:55:17,231
plenty friends and Bethel that have them now,

1601
00:55:17,469 --> 00:55:18,820
and they just told them behind their chip

1602
00:55:18,820 --> 00:55:20,965
boots. Yeah. And they get get up to

1603
00:55:20,965 --> 00:55:22,888
camp and then they switch to the inflatable

1604
00:55:22,888 --> 00:55:24,797
jet. I mean, they're going through some really

1605
00:55:24,797 --> 00:55:26,547
skinny ones. No. Like soup like just like

1606
00:55:26,627 --> 00:55:28,138
Creek space. And then they have those

1607
00:55:29,667 --> 00:55:32,458
Not plastic the the jet foot. Yeah. Yeah.

1608
00:55:32,618 --> 00:55:34,931
The the U be... Yeah. Yeah. There

1609
00:55:35,728 --> 00:55:36,047
or something...

1610
00:55:37,244 --> 00:55:38,735
Foot on them. Yeah. You can

1611
00:55:39,885 --> 00:55:41,473
You can do amazing things with those books.

1612
00:55:41,711 --> 00:55:41,791
Yeah.

1613
00:55:42,902 --> 00:55:44,648
Where you're not having to worry about shatter

1614
00:55:44,648 --> 00:55:47,109
your cast aluminum. Yeah. Yeah. That's what Rob

1615
00:55:47,109 --> 00:55:48,873
has on boat. Yeah. He's got 1 of

1616
00:55:48,873 --> 00:55:49,532
those ur

1617
00:55:50,226 --> 00:55:52,216
foot feet on it. I wanna get

1618
00:55:53,172 --> 00:55:54,525
the 04:20.

1619
00:55:55,973 --> 00:55:58,440
The port solar 04:20. Yeah. Solar 04:20 because

1620
00:55:58,519 --> 00:55:59,338
I have a Am

1621
00:56:00,429 --> 00:56:02,658
2 stroke that I can fit my airplane.

1622
00:56:03,868 --> 00:56:05,782
Nice. Is that 04:20 is at a 14

1623
00:56:05,782 --> 00:56:06,021
footer?

1624
00:56:06,979 --> 00:56:09,132
I don't know the length. I know it's

1625
00:56:09,132 --> 00:56:10,488
small enough to fit in airplane the time.

1626
00:56:10,807 --> 00:56:12,004
Yeah. All you care. Yeah.

1627
00:56:14,091 --> 00:56:15,842
So you can get... Yeah if you could

1628
00:56:15,842 --> 00:56:17,435
get them, would you have to take each

1629
00:56:17,435 --> 00:56:19,983
1 separately or could you take both? Right

1630
00:56:19,983 --> 00:56:22,385
now, yeah, I could take I would have

1631
00:56:22,385 --> 00:56:24,847
to take them separately, but... Be still get

1632
00:56:24,847 --> 00:56:26,277
it. Airplane and then I could take oh,

1633
00:56:26,436 --> 00:56:29,692
like cares that would be. Yeah. Right. That'd

1634
00:56:29,692 --> 00:56:31,693
be like the best of both worlds. When

1635
00:56:31,693 --> 00:56:33,443
you could... You know, yeah. Use your plain

1636
00:56:33,443 --> 00:56:35,352
a flash get that remotely. And then you

1637
00:56:35,352 --> 00:56:36,784
and then you could still move. You're not

1638
00:56:36,784 --> 00:56:38,629
stuck just 1 call them moose to the

1639
00:56:38,629 --> 00:56:39,985
plane. Well, I think what... Have you seen

1640
00:56:39,985 --> 00:56:42,537
the photo for the foldable boats? You you

1641
00:56:42,537 --> 00:56:44,452
know, when I'm talking about? Those they're like,

1642
00:56:45,089 --> 00:56:46,206
those look cool. Yeah.

1643
00:56:46,924 --> 00:56:48,614
I think they're kinda long for air lanes,

1644
00:56:48,774 --> 00:56:51,571
but... They're right under the floats right between

1645
00:56:51,571 --> 00:56:53,489
the floats or on a float is where

1646
00:56:53,569 --> 00:56:55,727
I've seen them strapped. Yeah. To the are

1647
00:56:55,727 --> 00:56:58,378
there? Yep. I've putt around in 1 I

1648
00:56:58,378 --> 00:57:00,760
don't know how well they would do, like,

1649
00:57:01,078 --> 00:57:02,587
under a lot of power, like, a little

1650
00:57:02,587 --> 00:57:02,825
lake,

1651
00:57:03,937 --> 00:57:05,287
like, a a lot of power. I don't

1652
00:57:05,287 --> 00:57:07,114
know that you could, really get up on

1653
00:57:07,114 --> 00:57:08,662
step in, like, and run

1654
00:57:09,037 --> 00:57:09,537
smoothly

1655
00:57:09,912 --> 00:57:11,344
with them. I don't... Maybe could. I don't

1656
00:57:11,344 --> 00:57:13,094
know. I've never tried it. But have you

1657
00:57:13,094 --> 00:57:14,367
ever haul haul the lu?

1658
00:57:15,018 --> 00:57:17,721
On floats on underneath a plane. No. I

1659
00:57:17,721 --> 00:57:20,423
haven't hold the lu. I have... We caught

1660
00:57:20,423 --> 00:57:22,650
1 brought to the lodge 1 time. He

1661
00:57:22,650 --> 00:57:23,683
came in with a beaver.

1662
00:57:24,333 --> 00:57:26,395
And it was backwards. And I was like,

1663
00:57:27,108 --> 00:57:28,932
holy shit would it take you 4 hours

1664
00:57:28,932 --> 00:57:31,469
to get here 04:45 minute shit. I was

1665
00:57:31,469 --> 00:57:34,028
like, the fucking boat is backwards It's like

1666
00:57:34,028 --> 00:57:35,778
a freaking sailor you put on there.

1667
00:57:36,653 --> 00:57:39,040
And he's like, you know what? I thought

1668
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:40,729
the same thing, so I put it on

1669
00:57:40,729 --> 00:57:43,280
right side up forward and hopefully shit the

1670
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:43,439
airplane.

1671
00:57:45,512 --> 00:57:47,026
Didn't wanna fly very straight He's was like,

1672
00:57:47,186 --> 00:57:49,111
I landed real quick and spun it around.

1673
00:57:49,349 --> 00:57:51,123
Yeah. I think you have to put it

1674
00:57:51,418 --> 00:57:53,987
stern front half to. For the air aerodynamics

1675
00:57:54,283 --> 00:57:55,556
on the tail. Yep.

1676
00:57:57,243 --> 00:57:59,636
Otherwise, does it, like, just disrupt the airflow

1677
00:57:59,636 --> 00:58:00,854
around the tail So

1678
00:58:01,391 --> 00:58:04,182
flying. Yeah Yeah. Yep. Yep. But I've called

1679
00:58:04,182 --> 00:58:07,068
weird stuff. I've called the boat trailer. On

1680
00:58:07,068 --> 00:58:09,164
the spreader bars. Oh, man. I

1681
00:58:10,658 --> 00:58:12,412
the lodge and the tic chicks.

1682
00:58:14,566 --> 00:58:16,081
But never a boat.

1683
00:58:19,285 --> 00:58:21,300
What's the weirdest thing you think you've called

1684
00:58:22,634 --> 00:58:23,910
are most outrageous?

1685
00:58:24,707 --> 00:58:25,026
Man,

1686
00:58:27,036 --> 00:58:28,871
I felt some weird thing talking.

1687
00:58:29,908 --> 00:58:31,583
Maybe not weird. Maybe not the right word.

1688
00:58:32,302 --> 00:58:34,469
Probably boat trailer because... The boat trailer. I

1689
00:58:34,548 --> 00:58:35,663
I put it on the spreader bar and

1690
00:58:35,743 --> 00:58:37,416
I put the tongue towards the back. Yeah.

1691
00:58:38,053 --> 00:58:39,646
And I didn't notice it.

1692
00:58:40,458 --> 00:58:42,612
On step. You know, going and take off,

1693
00:58:43,489 --> 00:58:43,989
but

1694
00:58:45,164 --> 00:58:47,477
I I did notice towards the end, like,

1695
00:58:47,637 --> 00:58:49,072
where I should be airborne. I was starting

1696
00:58:49,072 --> 00:58:49,631
to pull back.

1697
00:58:50,364 --> 00:58:51,802
And I could feel the drag. So I

1698
00:58:51,802 --> 00:58:53,400
think the tongue was digging in the Oh.

1699
00:58:54,199 --> 00:58:55,478
0 damn shit. Yeah.

1700
00:58:56,117 --> 00:58:57,556
And then the axle I put on the

1701
00:58:57,556 --> 00:58:58,035
right float.

1702
00:58:58,847 --> 00:59:00,460
And I could not get above,

1703
00:59:01,232 --> 00:59:03,060
like, 84 miles an hour or the entire

1704
00:59:03,060 --> 00:59:05,684
flight. Oh, man. In eighties, you you wanna

1705
00:59:05,684 --> 00:59:06,184
be

1706
00:59:06,972 --> 00:59:08,563
flying no less in 80 in a beaver.

1707
00:59:08,882 --> 00:59:10,552
Yeah. So it took forever to get to

1708
00:59:10,552 --> 00:59:11,610
the lodge, but

1709
00:59:16,140 --> 00:59:18,059
I know that we had a lu delivered

1710
00:59:18,059 --> 00:59:19,500
to me when I worked for fishing game,

1711
00:59:19,900 --> 00:59:21,500
long time ago with helicopter.

1712
00:59:23,034 --> 00:59:24,313
And I just think that they would have

1713
00:59:24,313 --> 00:59:25,911
it sling or whatever.

1714
00:59:26,710 --> 00:59:27,589
Apparently, they just wanna...

1715
00:59:28,309 --> 00:59:30,626
So they have a post being hanging off

1716
00:59:30,626 --> 00:59:31,665
the bottom of it, like,

1717
00:59:32,639 --> 00:59:35,299
this, and it like, holds the the

1718
00:59:35,599 --> 00:59:38,799
boat from just, like constantly spinning second. All

1719
00:59:38,799 --> 00:59:40,159
rudder. Exactly. Yeah.

1720
00:59:41,534 --> 00:59:42,968
And that showed up and I was like,

1721
00:59:43,207 --> 00:59:45,676
what the fuck is going why thought we

1722
00:59:45,676 --> 00:59:46,791
were getting a boat. I was like, what

1723
00:59:46,791 --> 00:59:48,782
is dangling underneath the thing? Did they forget

1724
00:59:48,782 --> 00:59:50,296
to put the anchor in or something?

1725
00:59:50,789 --> 00:59:52,544
Then he gets closer, and I... He landed.

1726
00:59:52,623 --> 00:59:54,617
And I was like, what the hell? It's

1727
00:59:54,617 --> 00:59:56,053
like, yeah, we took off, and it was

1728
00:59:56,053 --> 00:59:56,372
just, like,

1729
00:59:57,170 --> 01:00:00,360
constantly spinning all, like, never wouldn't stop.

1730
01:00:01,013 --> 01:00:03,028
So we hooked a pallet to it and

1731
01:00:03,485 --> 01:00:04,681
done spent. Yep.

1732
01:00:06,596 --> 01:00:08,748
It's funny all the solutions to stuff that

1733
01:00:08,748 --> 01:00:10,760
you're like, man, Someone had figure this out

1734
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:11,559
the hard way.

1735
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:12,440
Yeah.

1736
01:00:13,559 --> 01:00:14,680
Yeah. That's so true.

1737
01:00:17,814 --> 01:00:19,170
Yeah. Around here though Most of that stuff's

1738
01:00:19,170 --> 01:00:20,445
been figured out a long time ago.

1739
01:00:21,322 --> 01:00:22,916
The amount of stuff that's called out to

1740
01:00:22,916 --> 01:00:24,771
remote places and the state is

1741
01:00:25,228 --> 01:00:25,728
unreal

1742
01:00:29,303 --> 01:00:31,133
Yeah. Did you do do whole a lot

1743
01:00:31,133 --> 01:00:33,600
of freight and stuff? Yeah. And bush charter?

1744
01:00:34,014 --> 01:00:36,272
I mean, yeah. So there's no roads out

1745
01:00:36,491 --> 01:00:38,409
in the bush, so everything goes by airplane,

1746
01:00:38,489 --> 01:00:39,228
and I've

1747
01:00:39,847 --> 01:00:40,646
I've haul everything.

1748
01:00:41,858 --> 01:00:42,815
Except for boats, I guess.

1749
01:00:45,525 --> 01:00:49,054
But 1 thing my... So 1 story that

1750
01:00:50,321 --> 01:00:52,331
I always thought was fascinating was my

1751
01:00:52,706 --> 01:00:54,239
grandpa back in the

1752
01:00:54,614 --> 01:00:56,283
sixties. I think he had he had a

1753
01:00:56,442 --> 01:00:57,317
S in 01:08.

1754
01:00:57,889 --> 01:00:59,422
Yeah. And he flew from

1755
01:01:00,195 --> 01:01:00,695
Qui

1756
01:01:01,865 --> 01:01:04,195
where he lived to dylan him to go

1757
01:01:04,903 --> 01:01:05,698
on Be lug.

1758
01:01:07,207 --> 01:01:08,899
And he got 1 and,

1759
01:01:09,273 --> 01:01:11,869
you know, back back in the d just

1760
01:01:12,069 --> 01:01:13,904
fill the plane with whatever fitting there. Right?

1761
01:01:14,144 --> 01:01:14,303
Yeah.

1762
01:01:15,660 --> 01:01:17,176
So he put the... He was gonna fly

1763
01:01:17,176 --> 01:01:18,692
back home me, put the Bug in the

1764
01:01:18,692 --> 01:01:19,511
airplane and

1765
01:01:20,219 --> 01:01:22,124
and they took off. They used the entire

1766
01:01:22,124 --> 01:01:22,997
mile long runway.

1767
01:01:23,552 --> 01:01:25,298
Oh my And they could not climb above,

1768
01:01:25,378 --> 01:01:27,099
like, 500 feet all the way back

1769
01:01:27,698 --> 01:01:28,336
Would be scary.

1770
01:01:29,213 --> 01:01:31,447
Yep. In a stint right on the edge.

1771
01:01:31,766 --> 01:01:31,845
Yep.

1772
01:01:33,201 --> 01:01:35,057
Yeah. Better hoping doesn't like

1773
01:01:35,434 --> 01:01:36,791
hiccup at all. Right?

1774
01:01:37,763 --> 01:01:38,082
Man.

1775
01:01:42,393 --> 01:01:44,170
Bet that plain smelled wonderful.

1776
01:01:46,878 --> 01:01:48,317
It's like you walk in here, like, it

1777
01:01:48,317 --> 01:01:50,814
just smells like ass in here, like, cardiac

1778
01:01:51,033 --> 01:01:52,471
brown bear fat smells.

1779
01:01:53,921 --> 01:01:56,143
Which has very... It's it's worse when they've

1780
01:01:56,143 --> 01:01:58,364
been on wales but is a very distinct

1781
01:01:58,364 --> 01:01:59,793
smell. It certainly is.

1782
01:02:01,717 --> 01:02:03,631
We've been... Which is weird how smells do,

1783
01:02:03,791 --> 01:02:03,950
like...

1784
01:02:05,067 --> 01:02:06,503
I mean, I hadn't actually worked on a

1785
01:02:06,503 --> 01:02:08,975
ko where, and did you dog use your

1786
01:02:08,975 --> 01:02:10,784
dog character and your dog tell you know

1787
01:02:10,903 --> 01:02:12,490
at all give a shit. He doesn't care.

1788
01:02:12,966 --> 01:02:14,893
I remember when I lived up on Ama,

1789
01:02:16,218 --> 01:02:18,780
came home and Rob had a

1790
01:02:19,327 --> 01:02:19,646
dog.

1791
01:02:21,396 --> 01:02:22,589
And it was like, 1 of those deals

1792
01:02:22,589 --> 01:02:24,339
where I was leaving. Was the end of

1793
01:02:24,339 --> 01:02:25,952
this guy's hunt, weather

1794
01:02:26,423 --> 01:02:27,859
situation. He was on, like, day 12 or

1795
01:02:27,859 --> 01:02:28,975
something of a 10 day hunt.

1796
01:02:29,772 --> 01:02:31,367
And we're like, well the plane can't come.

1797
01:02:31,686 --> 01:02:33,360
Let's just run across the bay, and we'll

1798
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:34,796
see if we can find a bear last

1799
01:02:34,796 --> 01:02:36,879
minute. We ended up finding a bear killing

1800
01:02:36,879 --> 01:02:39,104
a bear, and then getting a radio call,

1801
01:02:39,183 --> 01:02:40,455
like, the planes on its way.

1802
01:02:41,090 --> 01:02:43,316
So I'm like, holy, shit we could get

1803
01:02:43,316 --> 01:02:45,320
this bear gun get the skull off because,

1804
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,789
like, clients going. I'm going, like, you have

1805
01:02:47,789 --> 01:02:48,985
a whole bunch of stuff that's happening.

1806
01:02:49,542 --> 01:02:50,339
So I'm covered in.

1807
01:02:51,629 --> 01:02:54,581
Brown Linking up To Cody to go right

1808
01:02:54,581 --> 01:02:56,018
to the airport to get on a plane

1809
01:02:56,018 --> 01:02:57,773
to come back to to anchorage then to

1810
01:02:57,853 --> 01:02:58,332
Fair banks.

1811
01:02:59,385 --> 01:03:00,824
So I come walking into the house,

1812
01:03:01,385 --> 01:03:03,964
covered in bear hair and stink of ko

1813
01:03:04,105 --> 01:03:04,344
bear.

1814
01:03:05,304 --> 01:03:06,525
That fucking dog

1815
01:03:07,399 --> 01:03:09,636
like walked up to me took 1 smell,

1816
01:03:10,196 --> 01:03:12,114
ran in the bathroom and got the shower.

1817
01:03:12,673 --> 01:03:15,070
And was in the fucking corner in the

1818
01:03:15,070 --> 01:03:18,356
shower, like, curled up, like quiver in the

1819
01:03:18,356 --> 01:03:18,675
corner.

1820
01:03:19,472 --> 01:03:22,422
I was like, wow. That's impressive that that

1821
01:03:22,422 --> 01:03:24,495
smell can do that to another animal. Just

1822
01:03:24,495 --> 01:03:26,501
the smell. Well, when I was when I

1823
01:03:26,501 --> 01:03:28,652

1824
01:03:28,891 --> 01:03:30,724

stink so stink so good. Yeah.

1830
01:03:41,608 --> 01:03:43,441
Which they got their own smell too, but

1831
01:03:43,441 --> 01:03:45,615
they, wolves and wolverine like

1832
01:03:46,550 --> 01:03:49,282
piles of them and isn't when Jerry had

1833
01:03:49,753 --> 01:03:51,423
had got that dog. Like, even from when

1834
01:03:51,423 --> 01:03:52,695
it was a little puppy. I'm like, alright,

1835
01:03:52,855 --> 01:03:55,082
I'll... Like, socialize with this so likes me

1836
01:03:55,082 --> 01:03:57,009
man after a while that dog I would

1837
01:03:57,009 --> 01:03:58,447
drive up the driveway and it would start

1838
01:03:58,447 --> 01:03:58,947
growing

1839
01:03:59,566 --> 01:04:02,283
right like like all. Yeah. No. And no

1840
01:04:02,283 --> 01:04:04,840
dogs really did, But moose man, he don't

1841
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:05,000
care.

1842
01:04:05,653 --> 01:04:08,282
It's a freaking retriever. Golden retriever heat like

1843
01:04:08,282 --> 01:04:10,354

1844
01:04:11,230 --> 01:04:13,063
whole flop a whole black bear on the

1845
01:04:13,063 --> 01:04:15,390
ground. He's just over there sniffing and like,

1846
01:04:15,469 --> 01:04:17,789
he doesn't care. What he did care though

1847
01:04:17,789 --> 01:04:20,110
was when Jed 1 day after, like, I've

1848
01:04:20,110 --> 01:04:21,550
been Bear hunting and the kids wanted to

1849
01:04:21,550 --> 01:04:23,090
play bear bear bait

1850
01:04:23,484 --> 01:04:24,916
They got their play house So they got

1851
01:04:24,916 --> 01:04:26,668
the little tower, and they made a bear

1852
01:04:26,668 --> 01:04:26,906
bait,

1853
01:04:27,623 --> 01:04:29,532
and it take turns, like, putting a bear

1854
01:04:29,532 --> 01:04:30,487
hide on the back and, like,

1855
01:04:31,699 --> 01:04:33,854
crawl walking the bare bear and the other

1856
01:04:33,854 --> 01:04:35,451
up here with the nerf gun, you know,

1857
01:04:36,249 --> 01:04:38,165
and Jed wanted to play pretty bad. So

1858
01:04:38,165 --> 01:04:39,363
he... He had been the he had been

1859
01:04:39,363 --> 01:04:40,161

1860
01:04:41,054 --> 01:04:42,643
And he goes Was like, alright, I'll play

1861
01:04:42,643 --> 01:04:43,993
with you. I gotta around the garage first.

1862
01:04:44,152 --> 01:04:45,264
He goes up there in tower. And I,

1863
01:04:45,423 --> 01:04:46,615
like, went and grabbed 1 of my G

1864
01:04:46,615 --> 01:04:47,092
bear hides.

1865
01:04:48,380 --> 01:04:49,660
Me go walking through the woods That's was

1866
01:04:49,660 --> 01:04:50,780
gonna try to sneak up on him,

1867
01:04:51,579 --> 01:04:54,059
and he didn't see me, but moose saw

1868
01:04:54,059 --> 01:04:54,220
me,

1869
01:04:54,860 --> 01:04:56,720
and he starts just

1870
01:04:57,193 --> 01:04:59,666
barking and grow and start. Really, like,

1871
01:05:00,384 --> 01:05:01,581
you know, but I was like, man. I

1872
01:05:01,581 --> 01:05:03,016
hope he don't run up here and bite

1873
01:05:03,016 --> 01:05:05,170
me because he was... You like, he was

1874
01:05:05,170 --> 01:05:07,099
not like it ends like, some saas squat.

1875
01:05:07,258 --> 01:05:09,571
Hurry Sas watch walking through the woods over

1876
01:05:09,571 --> 01:05:11,804
there. That's interesting though with dogs too is

1877
01:05:11,804 --> 01:05:14,197
they got the, like, the fight flight. Like,

1878
01:05:14,356 --> 01:05:16,510
there's no medium with dogs. They're either, like,

1879
01:05:17,164 --> 01:05:19,082
scared shit of bears and they're running the

1880
01:05:19,082 --> 01:05:21,799
other direction or they're, like, coming in to

1881
01:05:21,799 --> 01:05:23,797
see what's going on or Yeah. What? And

1882
01:05:23,797 --> 01:05:25,255
he was, like, keeping his distance

1883
01:05:26,128 --> 01:05:28,119
But, yeah, Like, barking real... Where I was,

1884
01:05:28,279 --> 01:05:30,510
like, genuinely, like, I hope he doesn't, like,

1885
01:05:30,828 --> 01:05:32,762
run up and bite me or something, but

1886
01:05:33,234 --> 01:05:34,833
he is kind of a chicken, like, other

1887
01:05:34,833 --> 01:05:36,750
dogs that are, like, barking at to be

1888
01:05:36,750 --> 01:05:38,188
aggressive, he didn't want nothing to do with

1889
01:05:38,188 --> 01:05:38,588
him. But,

1890
01:05:40,026 --> 01:05:41,305
once he found out was me, he was,

1891
01:05:41,385 --> 01:05:43,313
like, Oh, thank goodness it's you.

1892
01:05:44,269 --> 01:05:46,021
And then he's just, like... And then it

1893
01:05:46,021 --> 01:05:47,854
was sucked because I'd like, he'd shoot me

1894
01:05:47,854 --> 01:05:48,890
and I'd fallen in the ground and then

1895
01:05:48,890 --> 01:05:50,005
the dog had try to haunt me. He's

1896
01:05:50,005 --> 01:05:51,335
like, so oh, big

1897
01:05:52,253 --> 01:05:52,753
for.

1898
01:05:54,171 --> 01:05:54,491
But

1899
01:05:55,769 --> 01:05:58,246
no Yeah. He did thankfully doesn't seem to

1900
01:05:58,246 --> 01:05:59,605
bother because he'd have to get used to

1901
01:05:59,605 --> 01:06:01,618
it. Yeah. Would. But he has turned into

1902
01:06:01,618 --> 01:06:02,657
a squirrel hunt dog.

1903
01:06:04,015 --> 01:06:06,812
Like, there's probably 30 squirrels in the freezer

1904
01:06:06,812 --> 01:06:07,791
out there that

1905
01:06:08,650 --> 01:06:10,663
Jed has got to the point where he'll

1906
01:06:10,663 --> 01:06:11,163
the

1907
01:06:11,541 --> 01:06:13,779
dog hero squirrel and run out there and

1908
01:06:13,779 --> 01:06:16,256
tree it, like, at the trenton just wait

1909
01:06:16,256 --> 01:06:18,742
at the tree and jed come shoot him

1910
01:06:18,742 --> 01:06:20,570
or I shot a couple since I got

1911
01:06:20,570 --> 01:06:21,366
the new pellet a gun.

1912
01:06:22,002 --> 01:06:23,592
They fall out of the tree. He grabs

1913
01:06:23,592 --> 01:06:25,023
him and t him a little bit, and

1914
01:06:25,023 --> 01:06:25,523
then

1915
01:06:25,833 --> 01:06:27,901
I thought our... We had 42...

1916
01:06:28,139 --> 01:06:29,889
Last summer or 2 summers ago, maybe.

1917
01:06:30,843 --> 01:06:32,752
And I was like, it's gonna be pretty

1918
01:06:32,752 --> 01:06:33,627
tough to beat 40.

1919
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:35,079
For in a summer,

1920
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,199
and we're like almost a 40 already this

1921
01:06:38,199 --> 01:06:39,880
year. It's ridiculous. I don't know where they

1922
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:41,340
keep coming from. It's

1923
01:06:42,053 --> 01:06:44,447
unreal. Yeah. It's like every spruce Right here

1924
01:06:44,447 --> 01:06:46,204
around the house. It's just squirrels every day.

1925
01:06:46,682 --> 01:06:48,678
Being saying place. They're just never ending.

1926
01:06:49,237 --> 01:06:49,955
Stream of them too.

1927
01:06:50,849 --> 01:06:52,769
And what's crazy is it's not just like

1928
01:06:52,769 --> 01:06:53,730
here in my house...

1929
01:06:54,769 --> 01:06:56,929
Notice driving down the road? How many dead

1930
01:06:56,929 --> 01:06:59,510
squirrels are on the highway or on roads

1931
01:07:00,144 --> 01:07:02,484
they're everywhere. It's, like, real

1932
01:07:02,864 --> 01:07:05,344
high year. Just like, I'd assume just like

1933
01:07:05,344 --> 01:07:07,105
hair, you know, but they, you know,

1934
01:07:07,759 --> 01:07:09,115
some years are high. Some yours are low.

1935
01:07:09,434 --> 01:07:11,589
Squirrels gotta be the same way. Because guys

1936
01:07:11,589 --> 01:07:12,488
have many roads.

1937
01:07:13,344 --> 01:07:14,860
There's a few, not a lot, though.

1938
01:07:16,224 --> 01:07:17,572
I'll give you a few can take that.

1939
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:19,396
Shit.

1940
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:22,727
Yeah.

1941
01:07:23,699 --> 01:07:24,338
Pretty annoying.

1942
01:07:25,377 --> 01:07:26,815
Yeah at 04:30 in the morning.

1943
01:07:28,174 --> 01:07:29,452
Outside the bedroom window,

1944
01:07:30,012 --> 01:07:31,370
my son of a bitch.

1945
01:07:32,183 --> 01:07:33,849
Think the worst alarm clock ever.

1946
01:07:35,514 --> 01:07:37,815
We had 1 that was terror the house

1947
01:07:37,815 --> 01:07:39,401
in Saint Mary's when I was working there.

1948
01:07:41,007 --> 01:07:41,806
12 years ago.

1949
01:07:42,923 --> 01:07:44,222
He kept chewing through the

1950
01:07:45,079 --> 01:07:48,432
the sheet rock? Yeah. Into each bedroom minis.

1951
01:07:48,751 --> 01:07:49,411
That's a

1952
01:07:49,802 --> 01:07:51,548
you get rid of that thing. Oh, we

1953
01:07:51,548 --> 01:07:51,707
did.

1954
01:07:53,611 --> 01:07:54,008
We did.

1955
01:07:55,119 --> 01:07:57,182
You. Yeah Just sent us snow machine out

1956
01:07:57,182 --> 01:07:57,976
the saint Mary's last.

1957
01:07:58,626 --> 01:08:01,645
Oh, yeah. The bravo. Right? Yeah, Nice. Yeah.

1958
01:08:02,042 --> 01:08:03,869
I've only been there I've been there a

1959
01:08:03,869 --> 01:08:06,808
couple times, but just, like airport passing through

1960
01:08:06,808 --> 01:08:07,864
going out to

1961
01:08:10,409 --> 01:08:12,026
I'm trying to think of when

1962
01:08:12,724 --> 01:08:14,740
and Saint. Mary's when I was working on

1963
01:08:14,799 --> 01:08:15,299
caught,

1964
01:08:17,208 --> 01:08:17,686
and

1965
01:08:19,921 --> 01:08:21,836
maybe that was the only time. Because I

1966
01:08:21,836 --> 01:08:23,113
was thinking when I was working out in

1967
01:08:23,192 --> 01:08:24,011
Holy cross

1968
01:08:24,484 --> 01:08:26,881
that was Annie ec I think. That plenty

1969
01:08:26,881 --> 01:08:27,441
on the echo.

1970
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:31,516
But a lot of country down there. It's

1971
01:08:31,516 --> 01:08:31,756
cool.

1972
01:08:33,129 --> 01:08:34,646
A lot of moose country. Sure.

1973
01:08:35,923 --> 01:08:37,919
Yeah. And even the trap and, like, he's

1974
01:08:37,919 --> 01:08:39,616
got all kinds of otter and

1975
01:08:39,994 --> 01:08:41,271
cats and stuff down there.

1976
01:08:43,042 --> 01:08:43,202
There...

1977
01:08:44,798 --> 01:08:45,778
I think it's probably

1978
01:08:46,315 --> 01:08:47,990
should be in that stack somewhere. I got

1979
01:08:47,990 --> 01:08:50,247
a blue cat that a guy from

1980
01:08:50,719 --> 01:08:51,916
I don't know if it was from Qui

1981
01:08:51,916 --> 01:08:52,814
hoc or

1982
01:08:54,548 --> 01:08:56,462
it was for some place out there that

1983
01:08:56,462 --> 01:08:58,136
the guy had sent in this blue cat.

1984
01:08:58,376 --> 01:08:59,732
That he he'd cut the feet off.

1985
01:09:00,783 --> 01:09:03,171
And just, like, putting up fir. Mh. And

1986
01:09:03,171 --> 01:09:05,239
then Bill, like, we saw... He called him

1987
01:09:05,239 --> 01:09:06,194
up He's was like, do you have him,

1988
01:09:06,273 --> 01:09:08,596
like, somewhere, like, in the... You, do you

1989
01:09:08,596 --> 01:09:10,271
have the car like in if like, in

1990
01:09:10,271 --> 01:09:12,344
a pot, you know, frozen or something somewhere,

1991
01:09:13,141 --> 01:09:14,895
you know, because it's pretty rare... They're they're

1992
01:09:14,895 --> 01:09:17,298
not worth much money aside from just appreciate

1993
01:09:17,298 --> 01:09:19,122
him, but I think I ended buy it,

1994
01:09:19,281 --> 01:09:20,867
like, buying it from Bill or he gave

1995
01:09:20,867 --> 01:09:21,977
it to me or something because I he's

1996
01:09:21,977 --> 01:09:23,405
was like, yeah, you're the only 1 appreciates.

1997
01:09:25,164 --> 01:09:26,830
Pretty cool, pretty cool looking cat.

1998
01:09:29,289 --> 01:09:30,479
There was a guy. I think the at

1999
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:31,986
last time I was talking to you there

2000
01:09:31,986 --> 01:09:32,541
was a guy,

2001
01:09:33,514 --> 01:09:35,274
I can't remember where he lived either that

2002
01:09:35,274 --> 01:09:35,774
would,

2003
01:09:36,475 --> 01:09:38,554
like, send in a bunch of otter every

2004
01:09:38,554 --> 01:09:40,635
year that you could, like, eat off those

2005
01:09:40,635 --> 01:09:44,400
things, like, just flushed so perfectly clean. Wow,

2006
01:09:44,639 --> 01:09:46,233
even like between the whisk and stuff.

2007
01:09:52,302 --> 01:09:54,130
How are the cat numbers where you're dropping

2008
01:09:54,130 --> 01:09:56,117
right now? This year the cat numbers were

2009
01:09:56,117 --> 01:09:59,056
really high. Really? I didn't I didn't trap.

2010
01:09:59,296 --> 01:10:00,670
I had plans to, but

2011
01:10:01,139 --> 01:10:03,217
I just never made that out there. I

2012
01:10:03,217 --> 01:10:03,717
just

2013
01:10:04,814 --> 01:10:06,971
got the wolf sickness. Yeah. I

2014
01:10:08,251 --> 01:10:08,944
I went out

2015
01:10:10,337 --> 01:10:12,507
on walls on my sewing machine more than

2016
01:10:12,962 --> 01:10:13,757
I did trapping.

2017
01:10:15,268 --> 01:10:15,768
What

2018
01:10:16,317 --> 01:10:18,064
That's okay. Whatever floats you boat. I mean,

2019
01:10:18,223 --> 01:10:20,606
I this that's what's more fine. I ended

2020
01:10:20,606 --> 01:10:22,297
up shooting more walls and

2021
01:10:22,909 --> 01:10:24,993
the guys in Bethel trap combined, you know,

2022
01:10:25,233 --> 01:10:26,831
there... That's pretty awesome. There's something to be

2023
01:10:26,831 --> 01:10:28,509
said about that. Well, and that's gonna actually,

2024
01:10:28,588 --> 01:10:31,145
like, I mean, cats come and go, but

2025
01:10:31,145 --> 01:10:33,155
like, like, that's gonna do something for your

2026
01:10:33,155 --> 01:10:35,230
moose out there. Yeah. More than anything. Right

2027
01:10:35,230 --> 01:10:37,225
now, the wolf numbers are low. They've they've

2028
01:10:37,225 --> 01:10:39,081
been though for a few years and

2029
01:10:40,671 --> 01:10:42,666
20 20 was the alaskan snow year we

2030
01:10:42,666 --> 01:10:44,182
had, and we just... We cleaned up, man

2031
01:10:44,262 --> 01:10:44,980
We shot, like,

2032
01:10:45,859 --> 01:10:48,529
90 wolves that winter. That's awesome And,

2033
01:10:49,148 --> 01:10:51,784
we haven't had snow since and... When you

2034
01:10:51,784 --> 01:10:53,542
say we, how many of you? There's there's

2035
01:10:53,542 --> 01:10:55,860
10 of us that could it pretty hard.

2036
01:10:56,513 --> 01:10:59,059
You always go together or do you... No.

2037
01:10:59,377 --> 01:11:01,207
But there's... But there's 10 of you that

2038
01:11:01,207 --> 01:11:02,877
are actually going to do the same thing.

2039
01:11:03,036 --> 01:11:04,328
Like, out and. Pretty.

2040
01:11:05,127 --> 01:11:07,284
The mess between, like, 5 villages. Okay.

2041
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:10,560
Yeah.

2042
01:11:11,213 --> 01:11:13,767
I I used to go with a big

2043
01:11:13,767 --> 01:11:14,905
group and

2044
01:11:15,682 --> 01:11:17,538
the older I get I learned that I

2045
01:11:19,607 --> 01:11:21,444
enjoy it more by myself. Yeah. You know,

2046
01:11:21,603 --> 01:11:23,439
You're... I bet you're probably more successful when

2047
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:25,355
you're... It's low lower numbers of people as

2048
01:11:25,355 --> 01:11:28,331
well. You can be more successful, but

2049
01:11:29,124 --> 01:11:30,562
time is critical when you're on a wolf.

2050
01:11:31,921 --> 01:11:33,918
If if it's in the open, Yeah. All...

2051
01:11:34,158 --> 01:11:35,836
You have all day, but if it's near

2052
01:11:35,836 --> 01:11:36,075
river,

2053
01:11:36,649 --> 01:11:38,902
Yeah. Or a mountain and you have,

2054
01:11:39,517 --> 01:11:41,987
you know, decision making is absolutely critical. You

2055
01:11:41,987 --> 01:11:44,457
could make the wrong turn and give the

2056
01:11:44,457 --> 01:11:46,051
wolf 30 seconds, and he's up the up.

2057
01:11:46,704 --> 01:11:47,983
And you're not gonna get up that month.

2058
01:11:48,222 --> 01:11:48,462
Yeah.

2059
01:11:49,180 --> 01:11:49,680
Or

2060
01:11:51,338 --> 01:11:53,916
you can get stuck in a creek or

2061
01:11:54,309 --> 01:11:55,346
in the snow bank even.

2062
01:11:56,703 --> 01:11:58,220
So, yep, Time's is critical.

2063
01:11:59,738 --> 01:12:01,573
Yeah. Probably from the time you jump them

2064
01:12:01,573 --> 01:12:03,011
to the time you gotta be shooting them.

2065
01:12:03,331 --> 01:12:05,913
Yeah. They're they're pretty fast. And some of

2066
01:12:06,129 --> 01:12:07,797
some of them are really smart too. Like,

2067
01:12:08,194 --> 01:12:08,694
I've

2068
01:12:09,863 --> 01:12:11,475
I've been on a wolf where

2069
01:12:12,658 --> 01:12:14,253
I swear he was the alpha. He kept

2070
01:12:14,253 --> 01:12:15,609
a 2200

2071
01:12:15,609 --> 01:12:16,725
yard pace the entire time.

2072
01:12:17,603 --> 01:12:19,038
When I spit up, he would speed up.

2073
01:12:19,198 --> 01:12:20,474
And there was no snow that time, You

2074
01:12:20,474 --> 01:12:21,885
know, so yeah can't you can only go

2075
01:12:22,003 --> 01:12:24,143
so fast. When I slowed down, he slowed

2076
01:12:24,143 --> 01:12:25,594
down. And then

2077
01:12:25,966 --> 01:12:28,027
he was in, like, this drainage and they

2078
01:12:28,027 --> 01:12:29,867
got to a 3 way so Mh.

2079
01:12:30,505 --> 01:12:33,134
And I lost him, and I went up

2080
01:12:33,134 --> 01:12:35,386
and down every single 1 of those drainage

2081
01:12:35,842 --> 01:12:36,081
twice.

2082
01:12:37,210 --> 01:12:38,801
I never found him, and I could not

2083
01:12:38,801 --> 01:12:39,436
find his tracks.

2084
01:12:40,947 --> 01:12:41,822
Come to think about it.

2085
01:12:43,890 --> 01:12:46,609
He jumped off and he just laid like,

2086
01:12:46,769 --> 01:12:48,445
he laid You go right by him. Yep.

2087
01:12:48,765 --> 01:12:50,840
Because I didn't see any more tracks. Yep.

2088
01:12:52,037 --> 01:12:52,537
So,

2089
01:12:53,075 --> 01:12:54,592
yeah. Somewhere really smart like that.

2090
01:12:56,362 --> 01:12:57,261
Yeah. It's

2091
01:12:58,197 --> 01:12:59,712
and you want... You wonder some of that

2092
01:12:59,712 --> 01:13:01,886
stuff where it's it's just like that animal

2093
01:13:01,945 --> 01:13:04,736
happens happens to get old because they're, like,

2094
01:13:05,708 --> 01:13:08,656
super spooky and, kinda like, those are their

2095
01:13:08,656 --> 01:13:10,989
habits or how much of it is

2096
01:13:13,053 --> 01:13:14,746
I think you went texting some of

2097
01:13:15,279 --> 01:13:16,074
experience. Yeah.

2098
01:13:16,551 --> 01:13:17,505
Yeah. Because, like,

2099
01:13:18,141 --> 01:13:19,652
I mean, we've we shot a wolf that

2100
01:13:19,652 --> 01:13:23,082
had no paw. It it got caught traffic

2101
01:13:23,082 --> 01:13:24,033
chewed off or something.

2102
01:13:24,828 --> 01:13:27,368
Or this other time, like, my buddy shuttle

2103
01:13:27,368 --> 01:13:29,114
off had a snare on its foot, you

2104
01:13:29,114 --> 01:13:31,511
know? And it still was running pretty fast.

2105
01:13:33,895 --> 01:13:36,041
A different different year. I shot a wolf

2106
01:13:36,041 --> 01:13:38,265
that head up 02:23 bullet lodging its ass.

2107
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,058
In a Steve still

2108
01:13:40,517 --> 01:13:41,896
pretty fast. And

2109
01:13:42,355 --> 01:13:44,113
there was a wolverine came in 1 time

2110
01:13:44,113 --> 01:13:45,712
that a guy had caught that had no

2111
01:13:45,712 --> 01:13:47,230
front feet left. Wow.

2112
01:13:48,444 --> 01:13:49,965
Still get you caught him in a trap

2113
01:13:49,965 --> 01:13:51,725
by by someone of his design feet.

2114
01:13:53,244 --> 01:13:55,085
Or in a con or something Don't remember

2115
01:13:55,085 --> 01:13:56,064
exactly, But

2116
01:13:57,097 --> 01:13:59,492
Then at this other time, we shut wolf

2117
01:13:59,492 --> 01:14:01,349
that I'm pretty sure was ra

2118
01:14:02,364 --> 01:14:02,844
because he...

2119
01:14:03,961 --> 01:14:04,461
I

2120
01:14:05,172 --> 01:14:06,684
I've been around a lot of wolves, and

2121
01:14:06,843 --> 01:14:09,333
I'd I'd I never had 1

2122
01:14:10,903 --> 01:14:13,328
that I snow machined up to that stopped

2123
01:14:13,387 --> 01:14:15,462
and circled me at 10 feet. Oh, Yeah.

2124
01:14:15,702 --> 01:14:17,378
Head down. And I was, like, Dude, what

2125
01:14:17,378 --> 01:14:18,256
is this Wolf doing?

2126
01:14:19,134 --> 01:14:20,650
And and he was like, he was sizing

2127
01:14:20,650 --> 01:14:20,810
up.

2128
01:14:21,538 --> 01:14:23,600
And he just did the slow walk around

2129
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:24,734
me, and then he

2130
01:14:26,056 --> 01:14:28,141
completed his 03:60 and then started

2131
01:14:29,248 --> 01:14:31,164
following the the female that was in front

2132
01:14:31,164 --> 01:14:31,404
of us.

2133
01:14:32,202 --> 01:14:33,958
And it was shrink down. I'm pretty sure

2134
01:14:33,958 --> 01:14:35,177
she was in heat, but

2135
01:14:37,231 --> 01:14:38,005
when ended did it

2136
01:14:38,682 --> 01:14:39,240
shooting him.

2137
01:14:41,474 --> 01:14:41,974
But

2138
01:14:42,590 --> 01:14:44,583
before we shot him, we stopped and my

2139
01:14:44,583 --> 01:14:46,976
friend Seth was just, like, whistle at him,

2140
01:14:47,136 --> 01:14:48,527
like, like, he

2141
01:14:49,060 --> 01:14:51,448
was, like, like, at a dog and wolf

2142
01:14:51,448 --> 01:14:52,903
stop turned around. And started

2143
01:14:53,755 --> 01:14:55,585
t towards us. And I'm like, dude you

2144
01:14:55,585 --> 01:14:57,908
shoot him. You know you he was closing

2145
01:14:57,908 --> 01:14:58,863
in from 40 feet.

2146
01:14:59,898 --> 01:15:03,161
And the guy shooting him was, like, he's...

2147
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,151
He he was a x military, and he

2148
01:15:05,151 --> 01:15:05,969
was just gonna

2149
01:15:06,518 --> 01:15:07,945
see what the wolf was gonna do. But

2150
01:15:07,945 --> 01:15:10,719
yeah, Was like, just shoot you know, like,

2151
01:15:11,591 --> 01:15:11,987
I don't know.

2152
01:15:12,938 --> 01:15:13,864
I didn't want him to

2153
01:15:14,861 --> 01:15:17,649
like Biting 1. Well, definitely happens. Well, that

2154
01:15:17,649 --> 01:15:19,583
old Frank Laser story

2155
01:15:20,438 --> 01:15:22,828
where he was up in out of Nor,

2156
01:15:23,068 --> 01:15:23,466
I think.

2157
01:15:24,595 --> 01:15:26,927
Had, like, he had talked to a

2158
01:15:28,578 --> 01:15:30,649
but like an elder guy that had been

2159
01:15:30,649 --> 01:15:33,133
out trap, like, a dog team. Mh. This

2160
01:15:33,133 --> 01:15:35,273
is like, in the forties, and had got,

2161
01:15:35,431 --> 01:15:35,590
like,

2162
01:15:36,541 --> 01:15:38,205
heard his dogs at night and went out

2163
01:15:38,205 --> 01:15:39,632
there and thought 1 of them had got

2164
01:15:39,632 --> 01:15:39,948
loose.

2165
01:15:40,679 --> 01:15:42,117
It was a big black wolf, and he,

2166
01:15:42,277 --> 01:15:42,436
like,

2167
01:15:43,315 --> 01:15:45,313
hit it, like, piece of firewood and like,

2168
01:15:45,472 --> 01:15:46,671
went to go, like, hit it and the

2169
01:15:46,671 --> 01:15:48,676
thing that. Like, chewed him up a little

2170
01:15:48,676 --> 01:15:48,835
bit.

2171
01:15:49,787 --> 01:15:50,344
And then

2172
01:15:51,853 --> 01:15:54,395
he... You know, what... I suppose... He made

2173
01:15:54,395 --> 01:15:56,222
it back out, I guess, and then ended

2174
01:15:56,222 --> 01:15:57,278
up dying a Ra

2175
01:15:59,019 --> 01:16:00,767
Like, he he'd got it, and it was,

2176
01:16:00,846 --> 01:16:02,675
like, took too long for them to get

2177
01:16:02,675 --> 01:16:04,900
him a shot or whatever time Me, it

2178
01:16:04,900 --> 01:16:05,695
was a long time ago.

2179
01:16:06,824 --> 01:16:07,064
But

2180
01:16:07,625 --> 01:16:08,185
yeah. I can...

2181
01:16:09,145 --> 01:16:11,564
Yeah. This the wolf we got to it

2182
01:16:12,104 --> 01:16:14,344
with our hydra dr had por fine closing,

2183
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,679
mouth. Oh, and it was really skinny, and

2184
01:16:16,679 --> 01:16:18,359
it was just it was acting, like,

2185
01:16:19,399 --> 01:16:21,319
like, I'd never seen a wool effect that

2186
01:16:21,319 --> 01:16:21,774
way. It's

2187
01:16:22,853 --> 01:16:24,292
So that's why I think you had ra.

2188
01:16:27,648 --> 01:16:29,246
Yeah it's definitely around a little bit. Do

2189
01:16:29,246 --> 01:16:29,565
you...

2190
01:16:30,537 --> 01:16:31,810
Would you go back to the same spots?

2191
01:16:33,162 --> 01:16:35,070
Or do you... Are you constantly looking for

2192
01:16:35,070 --> 01:16:37,297
new spots or you I mean, you just...

2193
01:16:37,535 --> 01:16:39,784
Yeah. Well I just... If I go

2194
01:16:41,609 --> 01:16:42,906
multiple times I'll

2195
01:16:43,601 --> 01:16:45,354
run the same route pretty much.

2196
01:16:48,636 --> 01:16:50,783
Just to see, you know, what's new. Mh.

2197
01:16:52,296 --> 01:16:52,796
And,

2198
01:16:53,648 --> 01:16:55,731
you know, some days you you shoot 3

2199
01:16:55,731 --> 01:16:57,322
out of a pack of 9, and they

2200
01:16:57,322 --> 01:16:59,469
usually come back within a couple days. No

2201
01:16:59,549 --> 01:17:01,299
And I've I've gone out and, you know,

2202
01:17:01,458 --> 01:17:03,782
shot like, say 6 out of 9, and

2203
01:17:03,782 --> 01:17:06,012
then mh went back couple days later and

2204
01:17:06,012 --> 01:17:06,411
cleaned up.

2205
01:17:07,367 --> 01:17:08,483
But they always come back,

2206
01:17:10,092 --> 01:17:10,969
and they come back quick.

2207
01:17:12,006 --> 01:17:14,797
It's usually within 24 to 48 hours in.

2208
01:17:16,552 --> 01:17:18,945
Now, I I've seen other packs where, like,

2209
01:17:20,072 --> 01:17:22,374
you don't get the alpha. Mh. And you

2210
01:17:22,374 --> 01:17:23,644
shoot couple of the pups are...

2211
01:17:24,517 --> 01:17:26,446
They just don't know any better, and then

2212
01:17:26,992 --> 01:17:28,263
they're in a spot where you can't get

2213
01:17:28,263 --> 01:17:30,250
to, and then you watch the alpha howell

2214
01:17:30,250 --> 01:17:33,666
on everyone else just comes back, like, kinda

2215
01:17:33,666 --> 01:17:34,221
cool to watch.

2216
01:17:37,020 --> 01:17:39,010
Yeah. I know trapping them. Guys say if

2217
01:17:39,010 --> 01:17:41,715
you can snag those snag the male and

2218
01:17:41,715 --> 01:17:42,193
female.

2219
01:17:42,923 --> 01:17:44,753
Then, like, the you'll eventually get the pops.

2220
01:17:44,912 --> 01:17:45,151
Yeah.

2221
01:17:47,140 --> 01:17:48,651
Because that's pretty much what to do for

2222
01:17:48,730 --> 01:17:50,799
Pm. Like, come to a wolf expert for

2223
01:17:50,799 --> 01:17:52,803
people who don't really know. I mean, any

2224
01:17:52,803 --> 01:17:54,872
of those wolf packs generally is gonna be,

2225
01:17:54,952 --> 01:17:55,112
like,

2226
01:17:56,305 --> 01:17:58,773
you know, an alpha male, like, an adult

2227
01:17:58,773 --> 01:18:00,784
male and a breeding female, and then

2228
01:18:01,654 --> 01:18:03,971
their pops of, like, sub adults pretty much

2229
01:18:03,971 --> 01:18:04,531
is. Right.

2230
01:18:05,409 --> 01:18:06,688
You know, I don't know. How I imagine

2231
01:18:06,768 --> 01:18:09,005
Sometimes there's more adults, but anytime you get,

2232
01:18:09,085 --> 01:18:09,244
like,

2233
01:18:09,978 --> 01:18:11,574
mature other mature wolves in 1 of those

2234
01:18:11,574 --> 01:18:12,931
packs. I'm sure you get, like, a ton

2235
01:18:12,931 --> 01:18:16,364
of competition. They're not, like, super super nice

2236
01:18:16,364 --> 01:18:17,482
to each other there.

2237
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:19,413
Yeah. That's the truth.

2238
01:18:23,169 --> 01:18:25,726
But, yeah. No. Sec kinda that's kinda how

2239
01:18:25,806 --> 01:18:27,005
I think you would wanna do it it's

2240
01:18:27,005 --> 01:18:29,260
like You have certain circuits you run looking

2241
01:18:29,260 --> 01:18:31,020
for kills and tracks. And, yeah.

2242
01:18:31,900 --> 01:18:32,140
So

2243
01:18:33,180 --> 01:18:35,260
you know, me and these 9 other guys

2244
01:18:35,260 --> 01:18:35,760
we

2245
01:18:36,153 --> 01:18:37,505
I I keep in touch with them, and

2246
01:18:37,585 --> 01:18:38,539
I kinda know, like,

2247
01:18:39,653 --> 01:18:41,641
what's going on, what river and I just...

2248
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:43,868
I'm my... I mainly aim for the...

2249
01:18:44,839 --> 01:18:46,992
The caribou. That's why Yeah. Do the same

2250
01:18:46,992 --> 01:18:48,987
route, and sometimes I'll pick up, you know,

2251
01:18:49,146 --> 01:18:49,646
new

2252
01:18:50,182 --> 01:18:52,017
new tracks at I didn't see yesterday or

2253
01:18:52,017 --> 01:18:53,634
2 days ago or whatever and

2254
01:18:55,061 --> 01:18:56,756
can get a general idea of,

2255
01:18:57,371 --> 01:19:00,477
like, what packs there and, yeah, how many

2256
01:19:00,477 --> 01:19:02,707
there on that pack? What kind average of

2257
01:19:02,707 --> 01:19:03,025
miles?

2258
01:19:03,519 --> 01:19:04,877
In a day to, like, go out and

2259
01:19:04,877 --> 01:19:06,555
and on this... On my snow machine? Yeah.

2260
01:19:07,833 --> 01:19:09,671
Easily, a hundred and 50 miles a trip.

2261
01:19:10,071 --> 01:19:11,762
Okay. Sometimes it's more. Yep.

2262
01:19:12,719 --> 01:19:14,312
Just because, you know, from... I think from

2263
01:19:14,391 --> 01:19:16,644
Bethel have to did head, like, 30 miles

2264
01:19:16,702 --> 01:19:18,295
1 way to get to the good spot.

2265
01:19:18,614 --> 01:19:18,853
Right.

2266
01:19:20,127 --> 01:19:22,380
And that's... Ends up being 60 miles,

2267
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:26,140
but Yeah. Just before you're even actually hunting

2268
01:19:26,140 --> 01:19:29,194
just getting there. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. How nice

2269
01:19:29,194 --> 01:19:31,350
does it made it having like, sled with

2270
01:19:31,350 --> 01:19:34,487
good gas mileage? Dude. It's crazy easy. The

2271
01:19:35,185 --> 01:19:35,425
the...

2272
01:19:36,237 --> 01:19:38,307
The fuel efficiency and power we get today

2273
01:19:38,307 --> 01:19:40,697
from a a new slit is crazy. I

2274
01:19:40,697 --> 01:19:42,210
mean, I have a 08:50 e tech, and

2275
01:19:42,289 --> 01:19:44,280
I I freaking love that thing be, like,

2276
01:19:44,772 --> 01:19:47,796
so much power and you get 15 miles

2277
01:19:47,796 --> 01:19:50,104
to gallon. It's nuts. Because you got the

2278
01:19:50,104 --> 01:19:52,346
600 d tech. What's your get? Like about

2279
01:19:52,346 --> 01:19:54,491
that. Get... Yeah. Yeah. Like, 12 or... I

2280
01:19:54,491 --> 01:19:56,159
mean, it depends on what... If you're just

2281
01:19:56,159 --> 01:19:57,430
like hammer and on it or not, but,

2282
01:19:57,510 --> 01:19:59,912
yeah, like, 12 to 15. Yep. It also

2283
01:19:59,912 --> 01:20:01,427
depends on the snow depth, and are you

2284
01:20:01,427 --> 01:20:03,981
pulling the sled or... Yep. Exactly. Behind or...

2285
01:20:04,300 --> 01:20:04,619
Mh.

2286
01:20:06,629 --> 01:20:09,186
I can't imagine that 600 e text scares

2287
01:20:09,186 --> 01:20:11,424
me sometimes. Yeah Yeah. I can't imagine 8.

2288
01:20:11,663 --> 01:20:14,220
You gotta lead. My room roommate when not,

2289
01:20:14,461 --> 01:20:16,307
like, yeah. Back got married. I had my

2290
01:20:16,307 --> 01:20:19,010
600 ace, and then he... My roommate had

2291
01:20:19,010 --> 01:20:20,760
got his first sled. He'd bought just to

2292
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:21,260
used

2293
01:20:21,872 --> 01:20:25,228
tundra fight... Like, 05:50 fan. Mh. Before and

2294
01:20:25,228 --> 01:20:27,532
then eventually, like, after that year, I think

2295
01:20:27,532 --> 01:20:29,678
he he ended getting just 1 day, I

2296
01:20:29,678 --> 01:20:30,712
got home and he had a 8 fifth...

2297
01:20:30,871 --> 01:20:33,016
He had a 8, like, a summit 08:50

2298
01:20:33,016 --> 01:20:33,414
et tech,

2299
01:20:34,304 --> 01:20:36,542
or 800, whatever was the 800 or a

2300
01:20:36,542 --> 01:20:37,180
50 e tech.

2301
01:20:38,140 --> 01:20:39,978
Sitting in the driveway. Like, I just, like,

2302
01:20:40,697 --> 01:20:42,155
stood on that thing and used

2303
01:20:43,828 --> 01:20:45,667
it's like oh man. This seemed to be

2304
01:20:45,667 --> 01:20:47,664
d date like a freaking rocket.

2305
01:20:48,224 --> 01:20:50,701
Yep. You know they go. Not a power.

2306
01:20:52,475 --> 01:20:53,994
I know I listened to the last time

2307
01:20:53,994 --> 01:20:55,994
you're on here, and I can't... I'm trying...

2308
01:20:56,475 --> 01:20:58,554
Was like trying to remember. Go over it

2309
01:20:58,554 --> 01:20:59,675
quick how you do. Like,

2310
01:21:00,328 --> 01:21:02,161
So you find these wolves and you... You...

2311
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:03,675
I mean, you're obviously trying to find them

2312
01:21:03,675 --> 01:21:04,153
in the open.

2313
01:21:04,869 --> 01:21:06,702
They kinda have to be or you you're

2314
01:21:06,702 --> 01:21:08,533
were never gonna... It's pretty open where we're

2315
01:21:08,533 --> 01:21:09,330
at to begin with.

2316
01:21:11,494 --> 01:21:12,631
That's why

2317
01:21:13,643 --> 01:21:15,633
we can do it successfully in in the

2318
01:21:15,712 --> 01:21:16,190
Bethlehem.

2319
01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:19,175
But generally all

2320
01:21:19,711 --> 01:21:22,661
head a direction towards where I know the

2321
01:21:22,661 --> 01:21:23,936
caribou is. Mh.

2322
01:21:26,264 --> 01:21:28,181
Because they'll be lingering around the Caribou process.

2323
01:21:28,341 --> 01:21:30,179
Yeah. They they pretty much hang out around

2324
01:21:30,179 --> 01:21:32,735
the Caribou. And you almost always have, like,

2325
01:21:32,895 --> 01:21:33,395
1

2326
01:21:34,109 --> 01:21:35,630
dominant pack or on the herd.

2327
01:21:36,349 --> 01:21:38,689
But but the Caribou heard is stationary

2328
01:21:39,149 --> 01:21:41,310
as well or just moving very slowly. It

2329
01:21:41,310 --> 01:21:43,163
might move, you know, 30 miles in 2,

2330
01:21:43,322 --> 01:21:45,416
2 or 3 days. Okay. But but not

2331
01:21:45,713 --> 01:21:46,213
general

2332
01:21:47,466 --> 01:21:48,661
idea where they're gonna be.

2333
01:21:49,537 --> 01:21:50,037
And

2334
01:21:50,892 --> 01:21:52,587
I'll head out and I'll hit every

2335
01:21:53,378 --> 01:21:55,134
high spot on the horizon, you know, bet

2336
01:21:55,134 --> 01:21:56,273
those flat. So

2337
01:21:56,730 --> 01:21:59,204
you look at the horizon, you see just

2338
01:21:59,204 --> 01:22:01,621
a little incline you hang for that

2339
01:22:02,255 --> 01:22:04,974
climate, and it could only be the... See

2340
01:22:04,974 --> 01:22:05,954
a 20 foot

2341
01:22:06,654 --> 01:22:10,255
20 foot advantage. Yeah. You... Still. But 20

2342
01:22:10,255 --> 01:22:12,185
feet. You can see Yeah. You know,

2343
01:22:12,903 --> 01:22:14,497
miles. And so all glass,

2344
01:22:16,171 --> 01:22:17,605
all glass 360

2345
01:22:17,605 --> 01:22:17,844
degrees,

2346
01:22:19,213 --> 01:22:20,641
And sometimes you'll spot 1,

2347
01:22:21,514 --> 01:22:22,014
or

2348
01:22:22,386 --> 01:22:23,363
I'll look for Caribou

2349
01:22:24,052 --> 01:22:24,552
or

2350
01:22:25,084 --> 01:22:27,068
Ravens. Ravens always. Mh. They're...

2351
01:22:27,638 --> 01:22:29,864
They're my friends. They're indicators of wolves.

2352
01:22:31,295 --> 01:22:32,670
So I'll I'll hit

2353
01:22:33,362 --> 01:22:35,372
I'll hit all the high points on my

2354
01:22:35,429 --> 01:22:36,065
way out.

2355
01:22:38,391 --> 01:22:39,450
Sometimes I'll

2356
01:22:40,228 --> 01:22:41,345
cut a track.

2357
01:22:42,064 --> 01:22:42,564
And

2358
01:22:43,740 --> 01:22:46,296
generally, wolves like when they run they kinda

2359
01:22:46,296 --> 01:22:46,750
run

2360
01:22:47,345 --> 01:22:48,538
1 direction. Mh.

2361
01:22:49,175 --> 01:22:51,162
So when I cut it track and start

2362
01:22:51,162 --> 01:22:53,468
running, I just hit all the high points

2363
01:22:53,468 --> 01:22:55,470
in the direction of the wolves. The Wolf

2364
01:22:55,470 --> 01:22:57,060
going, and I eventually find them.

2365
01:22:58,332 --> 01:22:59,843
The only times I don't find them is

2366
01:22:59,843 --> 01:23:00,661
when they hit

2367
01:23:01,751 --> 01:23:04,000
tree line, like a river or

2368
01:23:06,144 --> 01:23:07,580
hills or mountains. Yeah.

2369
01:23:10,132 --> 01:23:10,372
Do

2370
01:23:11,090 --> 01:23:13,163
do you notice, like, aside from just finding

2371
01:23:13,163 --> 01:23:15,568
kills? Do the Ravens kinda follow them sometimes.

2372
01:23:15,806 --> 01:23:18,613
Oh, absolutely. Every probably, I wanna see

2373
01:23:19,624 --> 01:23:21,350
90 percent of the wolves that I kinda

2374
01:23:22,264 --> 01:23:23,617
kill had on them.

2375
01:23:24,572 --> 01:23:27,197
Yeah. It's that's interesting. I... When my friend

2376
01:23:27,514 --> 01:23:28,962
when I was a kid, what has really...

2377
01:23:29,201 --> 01:23:31,750
That's really cool. Yeah. When kid indicators... When

2378
01:23:31,750 --> 01:23:32,569
is a kid

2379
01:23:33,183 --> 01:23:35,413
that calling Coyote down. I mean, I don't

2380
01:23:35,413 --> 01:23:36,926
really do it up here because just the...

2381
01:23:37,499 --> 01:23:39,417
It's just not as not near as much

2382
01:23:39,417 --> 01:23:39,917
action

2383
01:23:40,454 --> 01:23:42,692
as colin colin Coyote down in the states.

2384
01:23:42,931 --> 01:23:44,704
There's a lot more of them, but we...

2385
01:23:44,864 --> 01:23:46,622
With my dad grown up, we'd call,

2386
01:23:48,140 --> 01:23:49,600
my cousin who was much

2387
01:23:49,979 --> 01:23:51,896
older. He up getting killed their iraq later,

2388
01:23:52,136 --> 01:23:52,775
but he was

2389
01:23:53,670 --> 01:23:56,310
he got really, really good at calling Coyote,

2390
01:23:56,470 --> 01:23:58,229
and he was always, like, you know, Mag

2391
01:23:58,229 --> 01:23:58,470
pies.

2392
01:23:59,109 --> 01:24:01,444
Oh, Like you see Mag pies coming. Like,

2393
01:24:01,524 --> 01:24:02,640
there's a good chance you're gonna see a

2394
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:04,954
Coyote pop out because they'll... The Mag pies

2395
01:24:04,954 --> 01:24:06,789
would follow Coyote around like that. So that

2396
01:24:06,789 --> 01:24:09,039
makes total sense. I mean, why why not

2397
01:24:09,039 --> 01:24:11,679
follow what follow to just follow the walls

2398
01:24:11,679 --> 01:24:12,960
around? They're gonna get you your food.

2399
01:24:13,679 --> 01:24:13,840
Right.

2400
01:24:19,931 --> 01:24:21,211
I what seem to be a good quote.

2401
01:24:21,370 --> 01:24:23,128
Oh, do you ever go with your airplane.

2402
01:24:23,288 --> 01:24:24,726
If you having trouble finding them, do you

2403
01:24:24,726 --> 01:24:26,086
ever get up and go fly around and

2404
01:24:26,086 --> 01:24:26,485
look for him?

2405
01:24:27,856 --> 01:24:28,255
You know,

2406
01:24:29,371 --> 01:24:31,305
many people ask me that, and

2407
01:24:32,719 --> 01:24:34,972
my honest answer no. I've never

2408
01:24:35,844 --> 01:24:37,442
use my airplane to go find them and

2409
01:24:37,442 --> 01:24:39,840
they go hunt them the next day. Really?

2410
01:24:40,079 --> 01:24:42,796
Yep. Because, you know, overnight, they can travel.

2411
01:24:43,116 --> 01:24:44,095
Yeah. Many

2412
01:24:44,555 --> 01:24:46,640
overnight. Yeah. And if you can't land and

2413
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:48,153
shoot same day than she Yeah.

2414
01:24:49,108 --> 01:24:50,938
You can't seem the airborne. So... So it's

2415
01:24:50,938 --> 01:24:52,927
not even worth burning the fuel for the

2416
01:24:52,927 --> 01:24:54,121
plane that screw around.

2417
01:24:56,121 --> 01:24:57,653
I feel like anytime

2418
01:24:59,217 --> 01:24:59,717
I've

2419
01:25:00,170 --> 01:25:01,360
seen wolves in the area and then it

2420
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:02,233
went out the next day.

2421
01:25:04,077 --> 01:25:05,990
I'm just... I'm bummed because I didn't find

2422
01:25:05,990 --> 01:25:07,426
the wolf scene. Yeah. Like,

2423
01:25:08,542 --> 01:25:11,013
just going. III

2424
01:25:11,013 --> 01:25:11,252
stopped.

2425
01:25:12,383 --> 01:25:14,156
Flying to look for them. I don't even

2426
01:25:14,372 --> 01:25:16,361
I don't even do that because it's it's

2427
01:25:16,361 --> 01:25:17,554
it's pointless. Yeah.

2428
01:25:19,796 --> 01:25:20,751
No. That makes sense.

2429
01:25:23,374 --> 01:25:25,362
Go looking for look for some... To find

2430
01:25:25,362 --> 01:25:27,269
somewhere they're at not where they were yesterday,

2431
01:25:27,508 --> 01:25:28,541
but yeah.

2432
01:25:30,231 --> 01:25:31,588
I know is these easy out of a

2433
01:25:31,588 --> 01:25:33,503
plane to tell whether it's moose or wolves

2434
01:25:33,503 --> 01:25:33,742
though.

2435
01:25:34,939 --> 01:25:36,935
And it's just like you're talking about earlier,

2436
01:25:37,189 --> 01:25:38,936
mean, Moose are never going a straight line

2437
01:25:38,936 --> 01:25:41,081
anywhere. They're just, like, constantly feeding wandering,

2438
01:25:41,478 --> 01:25:42,749
and those walls are just like...

2439
01:25:43,543 --> 01:25:45,529
It's just when wolves when they're they get

2440
01:25:45,529 --> 01:25:48,005
running when they're running away they're going straight.

2441
01:25:50,465 --> 01:25:51,020
All the time.

2442
01:25:54,114 --> 01:25:54,170
They're

2443
01:25:55,243 --> 01:25:55,561
Yep.

2444
01:25:57,311 --> 01:25:59,141
Rules are cool. I don't miss skin them

2445
01:25:59,141 --> 01:26:00,436
all the time, but

2446
01:26:02,890 --> 01:26:04,636
I don't know. I mixed feelings. I like

2447
01:26:04,716 --> 01:26:06,620
I like I enjoy doing that, like, putting

2448
01:26:06,620 --> 01:26:08,500
up stuff doing that kind of work, but

2449
01:26:08,619 --> 01:26:10,457
but they stink so good. They've do stink

2450
01:26:10,457 --> 01:26:12,156
so they think so,

2451
01:26:12,854 --> 01:26:14,313
especially get little green belly

2452
01:26:14,772 --> 01:26:16,710
1 that 1 that got snare and

2453
01:26:17,024 --> 01:26:18,939
do you do you keep them if they're

2454
01:26:18,939 --> 01:26:20,296
unique and then sell everything else?

2455
01:26:23,646 --> 01:26:24,420
Or do you have a

2456
01:26:25,099 --> 01:26:27,916
for you the. III have probably

2457
01:26:28,854 --> 01:26:32,152
15 wolves on hand right now. Yeah. But

2458
01:26:32,211 --> 01:26:33,031
most of them

2459
01:26:33,409 --> 01:26:37,495
I'll either giveaway to skin tones or I've

2460
01:26:37,495 --> 01:26:38,394
sold a few

2461
01:26:38,931 --> 01:26:40,628
and a feel on the wall, but

2462
01:26:41,578 --> 01:26:43,328
I don't know. I might hang on to

2463
01:26:43,328 --> 01:26:44,623
something for a while and

2464
01:26:45,953 --> 01:26:47,942
selling them the skin tones or give my

2465
01:26:47,942 --> 01:26:48,180
away.

2466
01:26:48,755 --> 01:26:50,274
Right on. Well, especially once you get a

2467
01:26:50,274 --> 01:26:51,715
bunch of moments like anne, unless you get

2468
01:26:51,715 --> 01:26:54,034
a real cool 1. Right. Unique 1. Yeah.

2469
01:26:54,274 --> 01:26:55,968
Like that Orange when I got. In the.

2470
01:26:56,287 --> 01:26:58,760
December I... I, I'm getting that stuff.

2471
01:26:59,478 --> 01:27:01,254
Like you said, the well, you said those

2472
01:27:01,312 --> 01:27:03,466
soft mouse. Soft model. This goes really want.

2473
01:27:03,705 --> 01:27:05,060
Those look kinda cool. Yep.

2474
01:27:06,663 --> 01:27:08,328
Not a fan. I've never seen 1, but

2475
01:27:08,408 --> 01:27:10,176
I saw I watch somebody on some

2476
01:27:10,786 --> 01:27:12,847
video on the Youtube and I was like

2477
01:27:12,847 --> 01:27:14,131
that is fucking creepy.

2478
01:27:15,162 --> 01:27:16,749
Yep. I think that'd would be cool to

2479
01:27:16,749 --> 01:27:18,836
have for, like, Halloween or something there's through.

2480
01:27:19,447 --> 01:27:20,970
Oh for sure or Like I mean, I

2481
01:27:20,970 --> 01:27:22,721
know where you're... What you're getting at, but

2482
01:27:22,721 --> 01:27:24,313
it just seemed so weird to me. I

2483
01:27:24,313 --> 01:27:26,541
was like, it almost looks like it's alive,

2484
01:27:26,700 --> 01:27:27,894
but it doesn't have a bone and its

2485
01:27:27,894 --> 01:27:28,394
body

2486
01:27:28,849 --> 01:27:29,509
like just,

2487
01:27:29,899 --> 01:27:31,018
Odd looking, you know,

2488
01:27:33,256 --> 01:27:34,694
but you can curl them I mean, it

2489
01:27:34,694 --> 01:27:35,653
look like a dog lane in the coin...

2490
01:27:36,052 --> 01:27:37,490
I mean, you can make it look like

2491
01:27:37,490 --> 01:27:39,343
a dog that's blame down sleeping in the

2492
01:27:39,343 --> 01:27:39,983
cold. Yeah. Yep.

2493
01:27:42,381 --> 01:27:44,698
Yeah. Well, you don't like it looking at

2494
01:27:44,698 --> 01:27:46,695
you, you can always turn together. Right?

2495
01:27:48,463 --> 01:27:48,860
Yeah.

2496
01:27:49,496 --> 01:27:51,801
It's always a way of remedy that problem

2497
01:27:51,801 --> 01:27:53,072
isn't there. Yep.

2498
01:27:55,933 --> 01:27:56,171
No.

2499
01:27:57,298 --> 01:27:59,203
So what's next what's next for you then?

2500
01:27:59,440 --> 01:28:00,393
When's the next season?

2501
01:28:02,457 --> 01:28:02,695
Well,

2502
01:28:04,219 --> 01:28:05,996
I've never done a sheep hunt. I hope

2503
01:28:06,135 --> 01:28:07,411
that I get to do that this year.

2504
01:28:07,650 --> 01:28:09,007
Yeah. So you're gonna you're gonna a sheet

2505
01:28:09,007 --> 01:28:10,363
hunt? I want to. Awesome.

2506
01:28:11,162 --> 01:28:11,480
Want to.

2507
01:28:12,293 --> 01:28:12,932
Super cool.

2508
01:28:14,768 --> 01:28:16,683
I know nothing about sheep hunting, so it'll

2509
01:28:16,683 --> 01:28:17,262
be a

2510
01:28:18,119 --> 01:28:19,636
a learning thing for me for sure.

2511
01:28:20,367 --> 01:28:21,637
I still know nothing about sheep.

2512
01:28:24,415 --> 01:28:24,915
It

2513
01:28:26,161 --> 01:28:28,082
I don't know. Probably the... I don't know

2514
01:28:28,082 --> 01:28:29,989
what you would say. Probably the biggest things

2515
01:28:30,148 --> 01:28:31,283
I would say is

2516
01:28:31,896 --> 01:28:33,326
just like, keep after it.

2517
01:28:34,041 --> 01:28:34,677
Keep going.

2518
01:28:35,329 --> 01:28:37,250
Like, you don't have to kill yourself. Don't

2519
01:28:37,250 --> 01:28:39,569
think about the cheeseburger this way when you

2520
01:28:39,569 --> 01:28:41,170
get home or any of that kind of

2521
01:28:41,170 --> 01:28:41,409
bullshit.

2522
01:28:43,023 --> 01:28:46,449
And, yeah. Just keep keep looking. Get tired,

2523
01:28:46,768 --> 01:28:47,326
take a break.

2524
01:28:48,282 --> 01:28:48,600
Yeah.

2525
01:28:50,928 --> 01:28:51,488
Don't like...

2526
01:28:52,127 --> 01:28:54,445
I mean, sometimes you gotta you gotta climb,

2527
01:28:54,685 --> 01:28:57,242
but, like, don't think you gotta go blasting

2528
01:28:57,242 --> 01:28:59,080
all over the till the top every mountain.

2529
01:28:59,974 --> 01:29:01,889
Around or climb, you know, like,

2530
01:29:03,007 --> 01:29:05,881
climb unnecessarily. Yeah. There's a learning curve. Like

2531
01:29:05,881 --> 01:29:07,716
there there's there's certainly just but, like, some

2532
01:29:07,716 --> 01:29:09,649
stuff you've gotta Once you know you're in

2533
01:29:09,729 --> 01:29:11,889
Sheep country where you're in an area where

2534
01:29:11,889 --> 01:29:15,090
there's could be sheep, just fucking slow way

2535
01:29:15,090 --> 01:29:18,461
down. Everything, like, slow motion. Because they can

2536
01:29:18,461 --> 01:29:19,097
be anywhere.

2537
01:29:20,212 --> 01:29:21,485
And if you're looking and you're not seeing

2538
01:29:21,485 --> 01:29:23,099
them, and you know they're around

2539
01:29:23,475 --> 01:29:25,783
then they're somewhere and the last thing you

2540
01:29:25,783 --> 01:29:27,136
wanna do is blow them out a country.

2541
01:29:27,945 --> 01:29:29,159
Before you can get on them

2542
01:29:29,532 --> 01:29:31,753
and really assess the situation. No.

2543
01:29:36,457 --> 01:29:37,892
Is this something you're gonna fly in with

2544
01:29:37,892 --> 01:29:40,045
your own plane somewhere in and hunt? Yeah.

2545
01:29:40,443 --> 01:29:40,921
Right on.

2546
01:29:44,041 --> 01:29:45,550
Yeah. That's a good way, especially if you

2547
01:29:45,550 --> 01:29:47,853
can get... Yeah, get before the season where

2548
01:29:47,853 --> 01:29:49,600
you can spend some time like, getting just

2549
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:51,586
even for anything flying around, like,

2550
01:29:52,634 --> 01:29:54,882
Like, you may... You know, it's a good

2551
01:29:54,939 --> 01:29:56,689
indicator if you're seeing lots of sheet... You

2552
01:29:56,689 --> 01:29:58,596
know, seeing sheep. And if especially if you

2553
01:29:58,596 --> 01:30:00,186
can tell that there rams when you're flying

2554
01:30:00,186 --> 01:30:01,538
around, like, that's a good indicator.

2555
01:30:02,348 --> 01:30:04,337
But you're not ever gonna see all the

2556
01:30:04,337 --> 01:30:06,485
sheep that are there flying around. Right. And

2557
01:30:06,485 --> 01:30:08,577
just to, like, get a feel for

2558
01:30:09,031 --> 01:30:11,202
the lay of the land, Like, that's that's

2559
01:30:11,434 --> 01:30:13,032
a nice thing too to be able to

2560
01:30:13,032 --> 01:30:13,851
buzz around

2561
01:30:14,551 --> 01:30:15,030
beforehand.

2562
01:30:16,787 --> 01:30:17,767
Yeah. That's

2563
01:30:20,078 --> 01:30:21,114
You'll love it. Yeah.

2564
01:30:21,992 --> 01:30:22,390
Careful.

2565
01:30:23,507 --> 01:30:23,587
Yeah.

2566
01:30:24,624 --> 01:30:26,719
Careful you he was if Fucking

2567
01:30:27,096 --> 01:30:28,612
wolf kill him on the back door. You'd

2568
01:30:28,612 --> 01:30:30,224
be like, all I care about sheep now.

2569
01:30:36,377 --> 01:30:38,075
Yeah. You'll still like it all

2570
01:30:40,769 --> 01:30:42,435
I don't know why. I'd still like... I

2571
01:30:42,435 --> 01:30:42,935
just

2572
01:30:43,388 --> 01:30:45,293
can't shake. I I'd still like, killing bears.

2573
01:30:46,975 --> 01:30:48,323
I mean, like, yeah, he get you get

2574
01:30:48,323 --> 01:30:50,387
some meat from it. You get... Sometimes he's

2575
01:30:50,387 --> 01:30:52,292
like, some nice hides, but I like killing

2576
01:30:52,292 --> 01:30:52,530
bears.

2577
01:30:54,609 --> 01:30:56,046
And now my kids are gonna be killing

2578
01:30:56,046 --> 01:30:57,323
embarrassed to you so we're about to, like,

2579
01:30:57,484 --> 01:30:58,442
seriously up the...

2580
01:30:59,239 --> 01:31:01,715
Yeah. You need more for you. Till till...

2581
01:31:01,954 --> 01:31:03,551
Yeah, Jed can turn 10 and get his

2582
01:31:03,551 --> 01:31:05,157
own. Get his own tags,

2583
01:31:06,508 --> 01:31:08,336
but Sadie talking like she wants to kill

2584
01:31:08,336 --> 01:31:10,322
1 next year. Oh, yeah. She's a good

2585
01:31:10,322 --> 01:31:11,832
shot. They know. I'm think better her with

2586
01:31:11,832 --> 01:31:13,594
the pellet gun and 20 too. She's a

2587
01:31:13,594 --> 01:31:15,416
good shot. So if she's she's thinks she's

2588
01:31:15,416 --> 01:31:15,733
ready,

2589
01:31:17,001 --> 01:31:18,610
we can probably make that happen

2590
01:31:20,091 --> 01:31:21,145
too Yeah. Why not?

2591
01:31:23,145 --> 01:31:24,664
Yeah. That's how you live is just why

2592
01:31:24,664 --> 01:31:24,905
not.

2593
01:31:25,625 --> 01:31:27,945
My dad the the last night on her

2594
01:31:27,945 --> 01:31:29,545
trip. You know, we... After I killed that

2595
01:31:29,545 --> 01:31:31,315
bear, we went... Moved the tree stands the

2596
01:31:31,315 --> 01:31:31,715
other bait.

2597
01:31:32,592 --> 01:31:32,752
I,

2598
01:31:33,868 --> 01:31:35,702
we went back to camp, and I dealt

2599
01:31:35,702 --> 01:31:36,681
with that bear

2600
01:31:37,058 --> 01:31:38,813
rest, grabbed some dinner and went back sat

2601
01:31:38,813 --> 01:31:39,712
down and

2602
01:31:40,263 --> 01:31:42,256
saw, like, 4 bears in an hour and

2603
01:31:42,256 --> 01:31:44,327
eat why not? My dad had 1. You

2604
01:31:44,327 --> 01:31:45,841
did another 1. My dad had wanted to

2605
01:31:45,841 --> 01:31:48,485
shoot that chocolate 1, because we... That had

2606
01:31:48,485 --> 01:31:51,113
showed up on camera that day. Okay. So

2607
01:31:51,113 --> 01:31:53,284
feels like, that's gonna be back and

2608
01:31:53,820 --> 01:31:55,572
sitting in there and 1 bear came in.

2609
01:31:56,223 --> 01:31:57,890
Like, just didn't... I was probably the first

2610
01:31:57,890 --> 01:31:59,344
time that Bear had been there

2611
01:31:59,718 --> 01:32:01,942
and kinda a little spooky and left, and

2612
01:32:01,942 --> 01:32:04,189
it was a big 1. Not

2613
01:32:04,977 --> 01:32:06,412
absurd big, but a bigger bear.

2614
01:32:07,209 --> 01:32:09,042
That a little, like, laurent came in was

2615
01:32:09,042 --> 01:32:10,180
in there, and then

2616
01:32:10,876 --> 01:32:13,765
this black 1... This black phase 1 came

2617
01:32:13,765 --> 01:32:14,585
in that

2618
01:32:15,444 --> 01:32:15,765
he

2619
01:32:16,324 --> 01:32:18,005
he was all tore. Like, he was rubbed

2620
01:32:18,005 --> 01:32:19,444
pretty good on his ribs, but he was

2621
01:32:19,444 --> 01:32:21,899
all, like, tore, face all tore up and

2622
01:32:22,339 --> 01:32:24,336
but like, popping in his teeth from way

2623
01:32:24,336 --> 01:32:25,135
back in the woods,

2624
01:32:26,333 --> 01:32:28,490
like, just 1 of those asshole bore.

2625
01:32:29,144 --> 01:32:30,580
What what does that mean when they pop

2626
01:32:30,580 --> 01:32:32,575
their teeth? Kinda depends. Like, if he's doing

2627
01:32:32,575 --> 01:32:34,570
it like that, like, a boar is coming

2628
01:32:34,570 --> 01:32:36,486
in, pop it like, he just like, every...

2629
01:32:36,725 --> 01:32:37,100
Not

2630
01:32:37,858 --> 01:32:38,676
just like

2631
01:32:40,489 --> 01:32:40,729
like,

2632
01:32:41,527 --> 01:32:44,078
not just bang bang bang. You know, that's

2633
01:32:44,078 --> 01:32:45,993
kind of like I don't know. I would

2634
01:32:45,993 --> 01:32:47,923
interpret it as like, like, get out of

2635
01:32:47,923 --> 01:32:50,240
here. I'm here. Like, just an aggressive behavior.

2636
01:32:50,480 --> 01:32:52,717
Yeah. Like, try to scare it. Because sometimes

2637
01:32:52,717 --> 01:32:53,915
like, a boars will come in, like,

2638
01:32:54,569 --> 01:32:56,325
they don't really know what's up or they

2639
01:32:56,325 --> 01:32:58,161
seeing the tree. They don't, like, why like,

2640
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:00,715
they'll, like, cough and swat stuff to try,

2641
01:33:00,795 --> 01:33:02,151
like, make something move.

2642
01:33:02,964 --> 01:33:05,354
Or scare something to scare you away. It's...

2643
01:33:05,513 --> 01:33:05,832
You know,

2644
01:33:07,106 --> 01:33:08,301
I think of it a lot of times

2645
01:33:08,301 --> 01:33:08,779
it's, like,

2646
01:33:10,069 --> 01:33:12,302
It's not even so much as them, like

2647
01:33:12,302 --> 01:33:14,454
trying to say, you know, get the hell

2648
01:33:14,454 --> 01:33:15,890
out of here. It's they're scared of what

2649
01:33:15,970 --> 01:33:18,921
Our... What's Yeah. What is point is already.

2650
01:33:19,253 --> 01:33:21,638
Yeah. That That's tim. It's like a bluff,

2651
01:33:21,717 --> 01:33:24,102
like, exactly. You feel out the situation. Like,

2652
01:33:24,261 --> 01:33:26,963
they're kind of aggressive, but not aggressive enough

2653
01:33:26,963 --> 01:33:28,809
to just come tearing in there and stuff

2654
01:33:28,809 --> 01:33:30,806
off. So that's that's a good point. Yeah.

2655
01:33:31,605 --> 01:33:34,561
Maybe like, seeing what's seeing what's actually. Yeah.

2656
01:33:34,801 --> 01:33:36,174
Because that, you know, you you're up it,

2657
01:33:36,253 --> 01:33:37,292
like, if you're up in a tree, you

2658
01:33:37,292 --> 01:33:38,890
can see, like, up, there's this little bear

2659
01:33:38,890 --> 01:33:40,807
here and this make it down you can't

2660
01:33:40,807 --> 01:33:42,485
see shit. Yeah. So

2661
01:33:43,855 --> 01:33:46,575
Anyway, he ran that bear off, and then

2662
01:33:47,819 --> 01:33:48,850
I was like, get to bore. I was

2663
01:33:48,850 --> 01:33:50,356
like, but just I was like, told my

2664
01:33:50,356 --> 01:33:52,198
dad I was, like, Just wait. Like, just

2665
01:33:52,198 --> 01:33:53,710
wait. That bear, you know, like, don't shoot

2666
01:33:53,710 --> 01:33:53,868
that.

2667
01:33:54,743 --> 01:33:56,176
If you don't wanna shoot, that's not the

2668
01:33:56,176 --> 01:33:57,368
barely you wanna shoot. Let's just wait. I

2669
01:33:57,368 --> 01:33:57,687
don't care.

2670
01:33:58,499 --> 01:34:01,052
And yeah, like, 15 minutes later initially because

2671
01:34:01,052 --> 01:34:02,569
we had a G head that had come

2672
01:34:02,569 --> 01:34:03,947
into that 1 too and

2673
01:34:04,405 --> 01:34:06,081
see way back in the woods like this

2674
01:34:06,081 --> 01:34:06,534
blunt

2675
01:34:06,894 --> 01:34:08,249
bear. I was like, I think it's a

2676
01:34:08,249 --> 01:34:10,801
g, but then it took gravity that. Took

2677
01:34:10,801 --> 01:34:12,157
the forever to come in. It's like, no.

2678
01:34:12,317 --> 01:34:12,976
It's that

2679
01:34:13,433 --> 01:34:15,188
that kind chocolate cinnamon bear.

2680
01:34:16,478 --> 01:34:18,710
And it was coming in, then it ended

2681
01:34:18,710 --> 01:34:21,021
up running this bear... This bore off,

2682
01:34:21,978 --> 01:34:23,810
and ended up being a big sal.

2683
01:34:24,304 --> 01:34:25,123
Like, belly

2684
01:34:25,502 --> 01:34:27,737
dragging no cubs, Belly like almost dragging the

2685
01:34:27,737 --> 01:34:28,295
ground old.

2686
01:34:29,173 --> 01:34:31,967
I think, like her insides were, like, down

2687
01:34:31,967 --> 01:34:32,525
to the gums.

2688
01:34:33,259 --> 01:34:35,569
So compared to, like, some other bears like...

2689
01:34:35,807 --> 01:34:38,277
Yeah. Not... Like, some bears will get, like,

2690
01:34:38,515 --> 01:34:40,905
gnarly, like, keen nines all broke off and

2691
01:34:40,905 --> 01:34:42,122
wore down, but

2692
01:34:42,671 --> 01:34:44,021
not all of them do. Like, that 1,

2693
01:34:44,180 --> 01:34:46,723
it's it's actual, like, inside or teeth were

2694
01:34:46,723 --> 01:34:48,494
way worn down. So probably

2695
01:34:50,633 --> 01:34:52,621
But they came in. I'm like, is 1

2696
01:34:52,621 --> 01:34:54,291
of those pairs who can be, like, conventional?

2697
01:34:54,449 --> 01:34:55,960
Like, what do they eat What they... What

2698
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:57,685
do they figure out they can eat they

2699
01:34:57,963 --> 01:34:59,874
something that could be just like hammer on

2700
01:34:59,874 --> 01:35:01,466
their teeth that they're totally on all the

2701
01:35:01,466 --> 01:35:02,103
time. Totally.

2702
01:35:03,536 --> 01:35:05,367
But it was, like, just a super fat

2703
01:35:05,367 --> 01:35:08,337
bear. And initially, I'm like, manic. Might be

2704
01:35:08,337 --> 01:35:11,614
a cell. Kinda, like, in hindsight, like, short

2705
01:35:11,614 --> 01:35:14,171
neck and stub legs on a fat bear

2706
01:35:14,411 --> 01:35:15,824
Like that's a cell. But

2707
01:35:16,818 --> 01:35:19,042
You know? It's like, shoot that thing.

2708
01:35:19,677 --> 01:35:21,981
Talk to us. Shoot that thing, let her

2709
01:35:21,981 --> 01:35:22,378
have.

2710
01:35:23,649 --> 01:35:23,967
And

2711
01:35:24,538 --> 01:35:26,133
he was funny because he the video. I

2712
01:35:26,133 --> 01:35:27,726
thought if you saw Arthur, but he...

2713
01:35:28,604 --> 01:35:31,074
My dad, like, use he didn't use the

2714
01:35:31,074 --> 01:35:32,270
first pair, but he has these like, old,

2715
01:35:32,524 --> 01:35:34,595
string trackers. They're like, 30 years old. Oh,

2716
01:35:34,756 --> 01:35:36,509
things are awesome. It's a little... It's like

2717
01:35:36,509 --> 01:35:38,421
a hopper like arrow? Like a bow dad

2718
01:35:38,421 --> 01:35:41,462
got so that is. It's like a bow

2719
01:35:41,462 --> 01:35:42,974
fishing, kinda like a bow fishing reel is,

2720
01:35:43,133 --> 01:35:44,803
but it's got this tube bus like tracker.

2721
01:35:45,042 --> 01:35:47,212
Real thin and strong

2722
01:35:48,081 --> 01:35:50,310
line that you tie basically behind your broad

2723
01:35:50,310 --> 01:35:52,221
head and close range, it doesn't really affect

2724
01:35:52,221 --> 01:35:53,359
the flight. So

2725
01:35:53,814 --> 01:35:55,168
shoot it and then the bear like, runs

2726
01:35:55,168 --> 01:35:55,668
off

2727
01:35:56,059 --> 01:35:56,297
it's like,

2728
01:35:57,489 --> 01:35:59,238
well like, tighten the drag dad.

2729
01:36:00,987 --> 01:36:03,155
And then it's like, like for

2730
01:36:03,864 --> 01:36:05,625
10 seconds or whatever then is, like, stops.

2731
01:36:05,944 --> 01:36:07,625
It's like, that's probably it.

2732
01:36:08,344 --> 01:36:10,344
Yeah. That's awesome. So this string didn't run

2733
01:36:10,344 --> 01:36:11,944
out. No. It didn't... I mean, it's got,

2734
01:36:12,024 --> 01:36:14,664
like, it's lot. Like, a wild string in

2735
01:36:14,664 --> 01:36:15,061
there, like,

2736
01:36:16,334 --> 01:36:17,447
it's ridiculous. So...

2737
01:36:18,878 --> 01:36:21,763
In this situation. I mean, unless you really

2738
01:36:22,631 --> 01:36:25,256
mess 1. They don't... Nothing's going very far.

2739
01:36:25,573 --> 01:36:25,733
No.

2740
01:36:26,448 --> 01:36:28,698
I... He just lady likes using them. So

2741
01:36:29,089 --> 01:36:30,761
I love it. When did he... Dude he

2742
01:36:30,761 --> 01:36:32,514
just, like, decide I'm gonna use that this

2743
01:36:32,514 --> 01:36:34,744
thing this year? He'd used it before at

2744
01:36:34,744 --> 01:36:37,135
times. He oh, he kinda kinda off and

2745
01:36:37,135 --> 01:36:38,113
on. So

2746
01:36:38,824 --> 01:36:40,104
I didn't even know it and all sudden,

2747
01:36:40,265 --> 01:36:42,744
yeah. Show up and let's get the tree

2748
01:36:42,744 --> 01:36:44,824
and he's got that on there. So it

2749
01:36:44,824 --> 01:36:45,864
ended being really cool.

2750
01:36:46,505 --> 01:36:47,244
Yeah. But

2751
01:36:48,279 --> 01:36:49,797
well, and kinda, I don't know if we

2752
01:36:49,797 --> 01:36:51,635
had talked about it recently, but just people

2753
01:36:51,635 --> 01:36:53,393
being so dumb on where you shoot bears.

2754
01:36:53,872 --> 01:36:55,550
Do are things like sitting there court in

2755
01:36:55,550 --> 01:36:57,472
away he shoots a thing and takes off

2756
01:36:57,472 --> 01:36:58,743
over the log. I'm like, oh, that's a

2757
01:36:58,743 --> 01:36:59,220
dead bear.

2758
01:36:59,855 --> 01:37:02,715
Like, perfect. And all looks like shot him

2759
01:37:02,715 --> 01:37:03,588
pretty far back.

2760
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:06,877
That's well, that's where the lungs are.

2761
01:37:07,436 --> 01:37:07,836
If you...

2762
01:37:08,555 --> 01:37:10,154
I don't know. I'm... I don't do any

2763
01:37:10,393 --> 01:37:12,551
Facebook or Instagram or that shit, and it

2764
01:37:12,551 --> 01:37:13,564
seems just like

2765
01:37:14,083 --> 01:37:14,743
if you're

2766
01:37:15,121 --> 01:37:18,073
gonna put stuff on the computer for people

2767
01:37:18,073 --> 01:37:20,386
to look at some douche bags. You can

2768
01:37:20,386 --> 01:37:22,880
for running fucking mouth out. That's what you've

2769
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:25,039
done on all the time. It's like, doesn't

2770
01:37:25,039 --> 01:37:27,039
matter. That just seems to be the situation.

2771
01:37:27,199 --> 01:37:29,220
It's funny. But it's like it's chocolate

2772
01:37:30,172 --> 01:37:32,005
Yeah. You start to think like everybody's on

2773
01:37:32,005 --> 01:37:33,222
the same page and

2774
01:37:34,157 --> 01:37:35,591
not really. I mean, that's kind of 1

2775
01:37:35,591 --> 01:37:36,707
of the reasons with J bear.

2776
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:39,199
I was skin it here. And I was

2777
01:37:39,199 --> 01:37:41,360
like this is a good opportunity so, like,

2778
01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:43,680
I, cut the back strap off 1 side

2779
01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:44,260
and then

2780
01:37:44,653 --> 01:37:46,562
can fl off the rib meat all off

2781
01:37:46,562 --> 01:37:48,313
of 1 sides. So you could see the

2782
01:37:48,313 --> 01:37:50,721
lungs and heart and everything sitting in there

2783
01:37:50,779 --> 01:37:52,370
and actually cut some of the ribs out.

2784
01:37:53,817 --> 01:37:55,488
To be, like, like where you wanna do

2785
01:37:55,488 --> 01:37:57,555
these things. Yeah. I'm, like, the leg is,

2786
01:37:57,635 --> 01:37:59,465
like, even back a little bit.

2787
01:38:00,755 --> 01:38:02,755
I'm like, he shot it. Like, this far,

2788
01:38:02,835 --> 01:38:04,515
you know, like, 2 3 inches behind the

2789
01:38:04,515 --> 01:38:06,515
shoulder and still got the very front of

2790
01:38:06,515 --> 01:38:08,595
the lungs. Wow. In front of the heart.

2791
01:38:09,406 --> 01:38:10,198
And you, you know,

2792
01:38:10,912 --> 01:38:11,412
so

2793
01:38:11,863 --> 01:38:13,845
anyway, but the bear they, ran off and

2794
01:38:13,845 --> 01:38:15,827
died, and then that other bear just like,

2795
01:38:17,430 --> 01:38:19,181
like, within a few minutes was like lingering

2796
01:38:19,181 --> 01:38:20,932
and out there, and he came back in.

2797
01:38:21,251 --> 01:38:22,046
Oh, shot him.

2798
01:38:22,762 --> 01:38:24,930
He took off the same direction. And they

2799
01:38:24,930 --> 01:38:26,770
ended up... We followed the string to my

2800
01:38:26,770 --> 01:38:28,289
dad's bear, and I looked over my bears

2801
01:38:28,289 --> 01:38:30,850
laid dead, like, 10... You know, less than

2802
01:38:30,850 --> 01:38:33,101
10 yards away. That's... I think that I

2803
01:38:33,101 --> 01:38:34,618
was texting you. And I was like, let

2804
01:38:34,618 --> 01:38:36,295
me know when they're like, 10 feet apart.

2805
01:38:36,774 --> 01:38:39,168
Good we got a contest now. Yeah. Robin

2806
01:38:39,168 --> 01:38:40,525
and I were piling them up and they're

2807
01:38:40,525 --> 01:38:42,614
like, 10 feet depart. And they... The app

2808
01:38:42,614 --> 01:38:45,564
literally were, like, right Yeah. Right there. Well,

2809
01:38:45,645 --> 01:38:47,399
they're almost laying on each other. I was,

2810
01:38:47,638 --> 01:38:48,835
so bitch you want.

2811
01:38:54,421 --> 01:38:55,774
Oh, yeah. It's good stuff.

2812
01:38:56,728 --> 01:38:56,887
Yep.

2813
01:38:57,619 --> 01:38:59,537
So... Yeah. You can you can fall for

2814
01:38:59,537 --> 01:39:01,454
sheep hunt and still and still, like Moose

2815
01:39:01,614 --> 01:39:02,434
Hunting and

2816
01:39:02,813 --> 01:39:04,890
Yeah. Wolf Cha and Seal Hunting.

2817
01:39:05,944 --> 01:39:08,195
Well, those those 3 are my

2818
01:39:08,810 --> 01:39:10,960
top favorite is, you know, moose,

2819
01:39:11,676 --> 01:39:13,927
seals and wolf. The those 3 l

2820
01:39:14,877 --> 01:39:17,664
I'll never stop chasing those. Yeah. What's your

2821
01:39:17,664 --> 01:39:19,257
favorite rifle for shooting seals?

2822
01:39:21,647 --> 01:39:22,603
Probably 02:23.

2823
01:39:22,841 --> 01:39:23,001
Yeah.

2824
01:39:26,045 --> 01:39:27,799
It's not like you need something big your

2825
01:39:27,799 --> 01:39:28,538
head head

2826
01:39:29,473 --> 01:39:31,568
definitely... Yeah. You definitely wanna center fire

2827
01:39:32,279 --> 01:39:34,186
So 02:23 is easy because you you can

2828
01:39:34,186 --> 01:39:36,095
get the emma anywhere. Yeah. Mh.

2829
01:39:37,208 --> 01:39:38,582
I just had

2830
01:39:39,037 --> 01:39:41,104
a buddy of mind built me A65G.

2831
01:39:42,232 --> 01:39:42,732
And

2832
01:39:43,265 --> 01:39:45,889
nice. Hopefully, next spring I can use out

2833
01:39:45,889 --> 01:39:47,161
and seals. That'll work.

2834
01:39:50,758 --> 01:39:52,913
Yeah. That's all Roy. It was at 02:20

2835
01:39:52,913 --> 01:39:53,153
swift.

2836
01:39:54,111 --> 01:39:56,426
2... Or and didn't he have that 02:20,

2837
01:39:56,586 --> 01:39:58,902
like, k hornet? He did. Yeah.

2838
01:40:00,033 --> 01:40:02,500
He did have that k horn. But 22

2839
01:40:02,500 --> 01:40:03,853
20 swift most of the time though.

2840
01:40:05,842 --> 01:40:08,389
Yeah. I'm we're still... I've been working on

2841
01:40:08,389 --> 01:40:08,889
getting

2842
01:40:09,438 --> 01:40:10,572
It's been kinda like

2843
01:40:10,944 --> 01:40:12,212
pulling teeth getting parts.

2844
01:40:12,925 --> 01:40:15,539
Around building a an ar in 22 arc,

2845
01:40:16,903 --> 01:40:19,449
you know, whenever all the appropriate parts show

2846
01:40:19,449 --> 01:40:20,802
up to put it together,

2847
01:40:22,155 --> 01:40:24,167
that's pretty cool 1. It's like the same

2848
01:40:24,479 --> 01:40:26,472
same overall length as a 02:23 or, like,

2849
01:40:26,632 --> 01:40:27,531
fits in the magazines.

2850
01:40:28,386 --> 01:40:29,743
You need to get a new follower, but,

2851
01:40:30,141 --> 01:40:31,679
I think you use A65G

2852
01:40:31,817 --> 01:40:32,216
follower.

2853
01:40:33,093 --> 01:40:34,072
But it's basic

2854
01:40:35,181 --> 01:40:37,971
basically replicates ballistic of a 22 02:50.

2855
01:40:38,529 --> 01:40:38,769
Oh.

2856
01:40:39,406 --> 01:40:41,159
And it's like... I'll show you cartridge I

2857
01:40:41,159 --> 01:40:42,569
got ammo for it, like, just

2858
01:40:43,327 --> 01:40:46,518
teeny little fat kinda of fat cartridge, but

2859
01:40:46,518 --> 01:40:48,033
made to shoot heavier bullets.

2860
01:40:48,591 --> 01:40:51,462
Because 22 fifties were, like a 02:20 swift

2861
01:40:51,462 --> 01:40:53,713
originally, we're only made to shoot, like, 50

2862
01:40:53,713 --> 01:40:56,270
grain bullets Right. 55, maybe at most,

2863
01:40:57,149 --> 01:40:58,588
unless you got a custom barrel put on

2864
01:40:58,588 --> 01:41:00,825
there with a tighter twist, but these ones

2865
01:41:00,825 --> 01:41:01,145
are, like,

2866
01:41:01,957 --> 01:41:04,187
like a lot of other new cartridges like

2867
01:41:04,187 --> 01:41:04,904
made to shoot,

2868
01:41:06,019 --> 01:41:07,851
like more efficient heavier bullets.

2869
01:41:11,131 --> 01:41:12,956
It'll kill stuff. It actually... That actually would

2870
01:41:12,956 --> 01:41:14,622
be a good black bear rifle.

2871
01:41:15,098 --> 01:41:17,558
Yeah. Like, if if Sadie ready to go

2872
01:41:17,558 --> 01:41:19,003
hunt next or something like that would be

2873
01:41:19,003 --> 01:41:20,434
a good 1 because it won't kick at

2874
01:41:20,434 --> 01:41:20,593
all.

2875
01:41:21,786 --> 01:41:23,558
Put a suppressor on there and

2876
01:41:24,966 --> 01:41:26,477
have added let her have at.

2877
01:41:29,436 --> 01:41:29,993
Good deal.

2878
01:41:30,948 --> 01:41:33,018
Yeah. What do you start buying suppressor?

2879
01:41:34,291 --> 01:41:36,599
When? Wait till you start buying compressors?

2880
01:41:38,528 --> 01:41:40,603
It sounds like the paperwork takes a long

2881
01:41:40,603 --> 01:41:42,598
time to get cleared and stuff. It keeps

2882
01:41:42,598 --> 01:41:44,514
not you. But especially if he once... If

2883
01:41:44,514 --> 01:41:46,212
you move into town, like it's a little

2884
01:41:47,162 --> 01:41:49,154
ease, I guess, like, shot... Some shops you

2885
01:41:49,154 --> 01:41:50,928
might have go in and do the

2886
01:41:51,304 --> 01:41:54,252
digit... It's all... Like, put you more days

2887
01:41:54,252 --> 01:41:55,207
gonna be in town. Really?

2888
01:41:56,099 --> 01:41:57,216
Many more days you can be in town.

2889
01:41:58,252 --> 01:42:00,326
I think I'm here through Friday. Go down

2890
01:42:00,326 --> 01:42:02,001
and do this paperwork 1 of these days

2891
01:42:02,001 --> 01:42:03,595
and just do it and order 1. And

2892
01:42:03,595 --> 01:42:04,712
be done with it, and you... Then you

2893
01:42:04,712 --> 01:42:07,120
can stop thinking about it. And, would be

2894
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:08,874
like, oh, Got it. And they call me.

2895
01:42:09,033 --> 01:42:11,506
It's in. They've been they've been turning around,

2896
01:42:11,664 --> 01:42:12,484
like, if

2897
01:42:12,860 --> 01:42:13,976
individuals doing them, like,

2898
01:42:14,788 --> 01:42:16,863
it's it's kinda random. Like, you don't know

2899
01:42:16,863 --> 01:42:18,936
for sure, but the last few ones I've

2900
01:42:18,936 --> 01:42:20,451
done have been, like, 2 to 3 months,

2901
01:42:20,690 --> 01:42:22,286
but they've had people... Like, a lot of

2902
01:42:22,286 --> 01:42:23,881
people get them done in, like, a couple

2903
01:42:23,881 --> 01:42:26,438
days a week, 2 weeks. I always heard

2904
01:42:26,438 --> 01:42:27,707
it was like a year. It used to

2905
01:42:27,707 --> 01:42:28,819
be used to be used to... Be and

2906
01:42:28,819 --> 01:42:30,644
now you can just go into the gun...

2907
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:32,889
Any of these gun shops. And

2908
01:42:33,198 --> 01:42:34,708
It's all... Great. You don't have to be

2909
01:42:34,708 --> 01:42:36,218
like, oh, no. Gotta go to the police

2910
01:42:36,218 --> 01:42:37,490
station and do this or go over here

2911
01:42:37,490 --> 01:42:39,875
and do that. Sweet everything done right there.

2912
01:42:40,844 --> 01:42:42,280
That's the reason I never did it too,

2913
01:42:42,359 --> 01:42:44,114
because I was like, I should, like, a

2914
01:42:44,114 --> 01:42:45,310
whole day of, like, when you run it

2915
01:42:45,310 --> 01:42:47,464
over here and doing this and over important

2916
01:42:47,464 --> 01:42:49,059
that because you used it, you... Like, I

2917
01:42:49,059 --> 01:42:51,467
used... When I did my first you... You

2918
01:42:51,467 --> 01:42:52,206
had to

2919
01:42:52,583 --> 01:42:54,099
fill out, like, the paper form.

2920
01:42:54,817 --> 01:42:56,731
That's a whole deal because you, like, purchase

2921
01:42:56,731 --> 01:42:58,007
the suppressor, then you have to do the

2922
01:42:58,007 --> 01:42:59,523
paper form. Right. You have to go get

2923
01:42:59,523 --> 01:43:00,400
passport photos.

2924
01:43:00,893 --> 01:43:02,744
Go to, like the police station get fingerprint

2925
01:43:02,801 --> 01:43:03,198
cards,

2926
01:43:03,675 --> 01:43:05,265
and then, like, take it to the troopers

2927
01:43:05,265 --> 01:43:06,934
to have signed, and then they can, like,

2928
01:43:07,093 --> 01:43:09,318
mail it in. And now yeah. Like, they

2929
01:43:09,318 --> 01:43:09,818
got

2930
01:43:10,605 --> 01:43:13,548
like, you know, century hardware frontier has a

2931
01:43:13,548 --> 01:43:14,026
kiosk.

2932
01:43:14,423 --> 01:43:16,864
They've got a few, like, Alaska ammo has

2933
01:43:16,905 --> 01:43:18,824
a key... Where you just do your fingerprints

2934
01:43:18,824 --> 01:43:20,985
and stuff, like, do everything right there. And

2935
01:43:20,985 --> 01:43:22,505
there's somebody there that's, like, if you have

2936
01:43:22,505 --> 01:43:24,105
any questions, just ask me. I do this

2937
01:43:24,105 --> 01:43:26,912
every day, like, 25 times. And oh, it's...

2938
01:43:27,230 --> 01:43:28,502
It was simple. I went in and did

2939
01:43:28,502 --> 01:43:30,409
it, and it was very, very easy.

2940
01:43:31,444 --> 01:43:34,782
Sweet. Yeah. Yeah. They're they're nice. It's quiet.

2941
01:43:35,354 --> 01:43:37,669
That's 03:08 so quiet. Yeah. I don't even

2942
01:43:37,669 --> 01:43:39,426
wear the mu. Yeah. At all.

2943
01:43:40,943 --> 01:43:43,817
It's amazing. But it's a... What really surprised

2944
01:43:43,817 --> 01:43:44,556
me was

2945
01:43:45,269 --> 01:43:46,384
how far off.

2946
01:43:47,898 --> 01:43:51,005
Oh yeah. From site in without the suppressor

2947
01:43:51,005 --> 01:43:51,403
on there,

2948
01:43:52,695 --> 01:43:54,055
shoot it. I mean, it was on paper.

2949
01:43:54,295 --> 01:43:56,454
Yeah. But I was like, holy shit. Like,

2950
01:43:57,015 --> 01:43:59,494
at 300 yards, that's, like, missing a moose.

2951
01:43:59,815 --> 01:44:02,382
Yeah. Well especially with, like, a lighter barrel

2952
01:44:02,382 --> 01:44:04,534
rifle and a heavier suppressor, like, yeah. You...

2953
01:44:04,694 --> 01:44:06,049
When you add that weight on the end,

2954
01:44:06,208 --> 01:44:08,201
it does change where your point of impact,

2955
01:44:09,093 --> 01:44:09,253
But,

2956
01:44:10,211 --> 01:44:12,604
aside from that, it doesn't change the accuracy

2957
01:44:12,604 --> 01:44:14,519
really at all. It sometimes it seems to

2958
01:44:14,519 --> 01:44:15,636
improve it. Yeah.

2959
01:44:16,768 --> 01:44:18,043
But I'll show you if you too. Like,

2960
01:44:18,203 --> 01:44:18,999
they make... Like,

2961
01:44:19,955 --> 01:44:22,505
there's just some stupid nice, like lightweight ones

2962
01:44:22,505 --> 01:44:24,019
now. Like, this year's the first year I'll

2963
01:44:24,019 --> 01:44:25,931
ever, I'm gonna bring 1 cheap hunt this

2964
01:44:25,931 --> 01:44:28,645
year. Alright on. I never have because the

2965
01:44:28,645 --> 01:44:29,756
ones I had were where I was too

2966
01:44:29,756 --> 01:44:31,580
heavy, like, not worth carrying that.

2967
01:44:33,579 --> 01:44:35,257
But it was pretty cool that blah the

2968
01:44:35,257 --> 01:44:36,955
big... Well both my black

2969
01:44:37,493 --> 01:44:39,251
that shot with the rifle, but that that

2970
01:44:39,251 --> 01:44:41,184
big 1 up the hill. It's like 15

2971
01:44:41,184 --> 01:44:43,264
yards away over the can, just, like, hear

2972
01:44:43,264 --> 01:44:43,764
that

2973
01:44:44,064 --> 01:44:44,385
whack.

2974
01:44:45,505 --> 01:44:47,664
Like all somebody. Got him good there.

2975
01:44:49,119 --> 01:44:50,720
He won't recover from that 1. And he

2976
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:53,520
was... Yeah. Like, I just... He hit him

2977
01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:55,199
right straight in the chest, so I didn't

2978
01:44:55,199 --> 01:44:57,286
have exit, but he was, like there was

2979
01:44:57,286 --> 01:44:58,556
so much blood. He's just like,

2980
01:44:59,271 --> 01:45:00,090
lungs vaporized.

2981
01:45:01,416 --> 01:45:01,734
Wow.

2982
01:45:05,704 --> 01:45:07,864
He Yep. That was something I don't like.

2983
01:45:08,977 --> 01:45:10,010
But the suppressor on.

2984
01:45:11,202 --> 01:45:13,268
None of the soft cases, will the rifle

2985
01:45:13,268 --> 01:45:16,573
go into. Yeah. The snow machine, the gun,

2986
01:45:16,872 --> 01:45:18,390
won't go in, like,

2987
01:45:19,109 --> 01:45:21,426
that's why that's why now, like, a lot

2988
01:45:21,426 --> 01:45:23,590
like the rifle I'm plan on taking cheap

2989
01:45:23,590 --> 01:45:24,384
hunt that browning,

2990
01:45:24,939 --> 01:45:26,607
like, 18 or 20 inch barrel,

2991
01:45:27,162 --> 01:45:29,489
that would. With, like, some of those lightweight

2992
01:45:29,625 --> 01:45:30,125
suppressor

2993
01:45:30,513 --> 01:45:32,184
or like, 1, like, the 1 you have

2994
01:45:32,184 --> 01:45:33,797
in a short. Like my,

2995
01:45:34,490 --> 01:45:36,740
like, just check bait rifle, Like

2996
01:45:37,529 --> 01:45:39,520
usually, Always used their use my 3 75

2997
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:41,113
or 03:38, but I got a guide gun

2998
01:45:41,113 --> 01:45:43,104
in 03:38 that's threaded. I had to get

2999
01:45:43,104 --> 01:45:44,697
an adapter, but I used that same can.

3000
01:45:44,935 --> 01:45:45,732
You have in a short.

3001
01:45:46,305 --> 01:45:47,977
Like, I just took the end off. Was

3002
01:45:47,977 --> 01:45:49,411
like I done you just take the end

3003
01:45:49,411 --> 01:45:51,162
of it off. And yeah. Shorten it I

3004
01:45:51,162 --> 01:45:52,915
didn't need it, like, super quiet, but the

3005
01:45:52,915 --> 01:45:54,349
last time I had to shoot that thing

3006
01:45:54,349 --> 01:45:55,800
in the trees. I was... Deaf for, like,

3007
01:45:55,959 --> 01:45:56,519
5 minutes.

3008
01:45:57,557 --> 01:45:58,057
And

3009
01:45:58,676 --> 01:46:00,274
even with that, like, in that little bit

3010
01:46:00,274 --> 01:46:02,752
shorter barrel. It was pretty manageable, but that

3011
01:46:02,752 --> 01:46:04,031
is they do get longer.

3012
01:46:07,556 --> 01:46:09,551
So there's no free launch, I guess. What

3013
01:46:09,551 --> 01:46:10,587
are you shooting wolves with?

3014
01:46:11,703 --> 01:46:12,342
Usually, my...

3015
01:46:14,336 --> 01:46:14,575
Well,

3016
01:46:15,308 --> 01:46:16,583
I've changed it up in the last couple

3017
01:46:16,583 --> 01:46:18,758
of years, so I have a Grenades

3018
01:46:19,374 --> 01:46:19,874
timeline

3019
01:46:20,331 --> 01:46:22,563
under a trapping license, you can use it

3020
01:46:22,563 --> 01:46:23,041
22.

3021
01:46:23,694 --> 01:46:25,552
That's right. Yeah. So I

3022
01:46:26,411 --> 01:46:27,289
carry a 22,

3023
01:46:27,849 --> 01:46:30,246
but I have a Ar strapped to my

3024
01:46:30,246 --> 01:46:32,171
just his backup up. Yeah. In case So

3025
01:46:32,251 --> 01:46:33,917
I start with the 22, and if I

3026
01:46:33,917 --> 01:46:35,820
don't get them, it's a 22 Mag actually.

3027
01:46:36,058 --> 01:46:38,255
Yeah. And then if the or

3028
01:46:38,771 --> 01:46:41,157
beyond reach of the 22 meg I switch

3029
01:46:41,157 --> 01:46:41,713
to the lu.

3030
01:46:42,509 --> 01:46:43,860
Nice. That's not a bad plan.

3031
01:46:44,497 --> 01:46:46,167
Because the 22 Mag shoot all the way

3032
01:46:46,167 --> 01:46:47,916
through a wolf. Oh, yeah. Yep.

3033
01:46:51,850 --> 01:46:53,289
A little better than the 3 80,

3034
01:46:55,210 --> 01:46:55,710
usually,

3035
01:46:56,580 --> 01:46:56,898
Yeah.

3036
01:46:57,532 --> 01:46:59,143
I used to use a

3037
01:46:59,673 --> 01:47:01,815
mini 14 or Ar 15, but... Yeah.

3038
01:47:02,529 --> 01:47:04,609
Some of some of those menu, like, you

3039
01:47:04,609 --> 01:47:06,305
nick him, and it just puts a big

3040
01:47:06,683 --> 01:47:08,119
tear in In the back.

3041
01:47:12,522 --> 01:47:14,595
Yeah. 22 max is a good gun, man.

3042
01:47:14,676 --> 01:47:15,952
And it's good for a lot of stuff.

3043
01:47:17,069 --> 01:47:18,663
Yeah. I got I got that Celtic Pm

3044
01:47:18,663 --> 01:47:20,759
m r 30. It's oh, nice. Perfect

3045
01:47:22,107 --> 01:47:23,857
because that pistol that holds, like third is

3046
01:47:23,857 --> 01:47:26,163
it 30 30 rounds in the magazine. And

3047
01:47:26,163 --> 01:47:26,959
so they have these

3048
01:47:28,232 --> 01:47:30,645
aftermarket. Parts now that you can you can

3049
01:47:30,645 --> 01:47:31,944
get the stainless mag

3050
01:47:32,484 --> 01:47:34,664
and, like, different middle parts for the

3051
01:47:36,179 --> 01:47:38,493
for the action and stuff? Yeah. And they

3052
01:47:38,493 --> 01:47:41,048
don't jam anymore. Like, when need all all

3053
01:47:41,048 --> 01:47:43,283
parts in there. And that works pretty reliable

3054
01:47:43,283 --> 01:47:45,040
even in the cold. Yeah. Yep.

3055
01:47:46,646 --> 01:47:48,337
Get a suppressor for that too

3056
01:47:49,823 --> 01:47:50,538
easy cool.

3057
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:54,113
Yeah. I use this

3058
01:47:55,479 --> 01:47:56,435
M pro 7 oil.

3059
01:47:57,152 --> 01:47:58,666
Okay. Yeah. I have some of that stuff

3060
01:47:58,666 --> 01:48:00,042
too in the

3061
01:48:00,418 --> 01:48:01,136
attempts and it doesn't...

3062
01:48:01,773 --> 01:48:02,968
It doesn't jam my

3063
01:48:03,925 --> 01:48:06,571
R 15 or my handgun gun. Nice.

3064
01:48:07,289 --> 01:48:09,683
Yeah. That's something people can overlook too. You

3065
01:48:09,683 --> 01:48:12,019
getting a trouble used stuff that's like 2

3066
01:48:12,157 --> 01:48:13,329
too thick or Dirt

3067
01:48:13,846 --> 01:48:15,438
solidifies too much in the cold. Just the

3068
01:48:15,438 --> 01:48:16,631
little light, light,

3069
01:48:17,267 --> 01:48:18,323
light pain of

3070
01:48:19,256 --> 01:48:20,233
and sevens

3071
01:48:20,782 --> 01:48:21,817
get money.

3072
01:48:22,692 --> 01:48:22,930
Yeah.

3073
01:48:25,795 --> 01:48:26,113
Nice.

3074
01:48:27,958 --> 01:48:29,634
We've been rolling for a couple hours. Will

3075
01:48:29,634 --> 01:48:31,707
probably better better get you back home. Yeah.

3076
01:48:31,947 --> 01:48:33,143
I want you staying up too late.

3077
01:48:34,897 --> 01:48:36,652
My kid's been staying up late lately, man.

3078
01:48:36,891 --> 01:48:37,345
Just

3079
01:48:37,703 --> 01:48:39,055
crushing me that I can't get up in

3080
01:48:39,055 --> 01:48:39,374
the morning.

3081
01:48:41,125 --> 01:48:43,432
I've had a run of way late. We've

3082
01:48:43,432 --> 01:48:45,502
been working till, like, 6 07:00 at night.

3083
01:48:45,740 --> 01:48:46,696
Yeah. And, of course,

3084
01:48:47,348 --> 01:48:48,704
I'm not just gonna climb in bed get

3085
01:48:48,704 --> 01:48:49,922
eat dinner and

3086
01:48:50,379 --> 01:48:51,836
relax for a minute and,

3087
01:48:52,213 --> 01:48:54,606
yeah. But my mornings haven't... I've been, like,

3088
01:48:54,845 --> 01:48:57,252
starting until mine. Yeah. Well, I mean,

3089
01:48:58,047 --> 01:49:00,037
being starting working. Yeah.

3090
01:49:03,620 --> 01:49:04,496
Yeah. It's easy.

3091
01:49:05,390 --> 01:49:07,170
It's easy to get in

3092
01:49:07,710 --> 01:49:10,270
odd sleep patterns in the summer around here.

3093
01:49:11,070 --> 01:49:13,310
It's up super late doing stuff.

3094
01:49:15,724 --> 01:49:17,005
I'm not sure to do stuff at night

3095
01:49:17,005 --> 01:49:17,645
than in the morning.

3096
01:49:19,324 --> 01:49:19,645
Personally.

3097
01:49:20,444 --> 01:49:22,364
I like... I I'd would like to be

3098
01:49:22,364 --> 01:49:24,380
a morning person, like, when I can actually

3099
01:49:24,380 --> 01:49:25,819
get in a rhythm where for 2 days

3100
01:49:25,819 --> 01:49:27,199
in a row, I can get up

3101
01:49:27,659 --> 01:49:29,920
06:00 in the morning, 05:30 in the morning

3102
01:49:30,460 --> 01:49:32,635
and be productive. But I'm probably not that

3103
01:49:32,635 --> 01:49:34,715
guy long term. I... But I I like

3104
01:49:34,715 --> 01:49:36,235
when I like when I can be, through

3105
01:49:36,235 --> 01:49:37,835
of short periods that I can be that

3106
01:49:37,835 --> 01:49:37,994
guy.

3107
01:49:39,527 --> 01:49:41,272
Because I tried it... I started well, like,

3108
01:49:41,430 --> 01:49:42,327
walking all

3109
01:49:43,018 --> 01:49:45,025
mornings. I actually get up on

3110
01:49:45,477 --> 01:49:46,905
time to do it. I'll take the dog

3111
01:49:46,905 --> 01:49:47,381
and go, like,

3112
01:49:48,114 --> 01:49:50,114
walk all the way down the hill this

3113
01:49:50,114 --> 01:49:51,635
way, and then back up the other way

3114
01:49:51,635 --> 01:49:52,515
or vice versa,

3115
01:49:53,395 --> 01:49:55,235
so I don't die when we go she

3116
01:49:55,235 --> 01:49:55,475
hunting.

3117
01:49:56,114 --> 01:49:56,614
But

3118
01:49:58,913 --> 01:49:59,707
I'll start walking.

3119
01:50:00,739 --> 01:50:03,202
August 10 August 10 August 19.

3120
01:50:03,758 --> 01:50:04,258
Yeah

3121
01:50:05,029 --> 01:50:05,426
Yeah.

3122
01:50:07,426 --> 01:50:09,411
That's alright. Someone's gotta carry all your shit.

3123
01:50:11,238 --> 01:50:12,428
Yep. Somebody.

3124
01:50:15,141 --> 01:50:16,964
Oh, man. But, yeah, It's gonna be here

3125
01:50:16,964 --> 01:50:17,914
before we know it. So...

3126
01:50:18,786 --> 01:50:19,103
Yep.

3127
01:50:21,734 --> 01:50:23,011
So out there and get all your mountain

3128
01:50:23,011 --> 01:50:25,965

12 days in a row or

3131
01:50:30,529 --> 01:50:32,123
whatever. I don't know what the worst 1

3132
01:50:32,123 --> 01:50:32,363
is.

3133
01:50:33,081 --> 01:50:33,581
But.
