And Spencer will check them out. 00:01:24 Speaker 1: I will. Okay, today we've got. 00:01:26 Speaker 2: One from Jess A., who writes, My husband Josh recently got a job with an outfitter to do hunt guiding in Arizona. He has many years of experience doing everything from hunting to backwoods camping, from the most deserty deserts to the woods to everything in between. He's looking for resources on how to be a good guide and have a good guiding business. Any recommendations besides watching and listening to more media? 00:01:52 Speaker 1: Corey? Lay it on me. 00:01:54 Speaker 7: Man, I feel like to be a good guide, it just kind of comes natural. 00:01:57 Speaker 6: So best of luck to you. 00:01:59 Speaker 8: No. 00:02:00 Speaker 5: Dang. 00:02:00 Speaker 4: How many years were you a fishing guide and hunting guide, Corey? 00:02:04 Speaker 3: 15 years. 00:02:04 Speaker 4: Damn. 00:02:05 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:02:06 Speaker 7: And I wasn't great at it at first. I was just a punk, like, you know, 18, 19, 20-year-old kid. 00:02:10 Speaker 1: So it didn't come naturally. 00:02:12 Speaker 4: It did. 00:02:12 Speaker 1: You had it from the start. 00:02:14 Speaker 7: You got to pretend like you give a damn about what they're telling you. 00:02:16 Speaker 1: You see, you're not painting a good picture here, man. I was expecting a lot more out of you. 00:02:21 Speaker 4: Fake it till you make. 00:02:22 Speaker 2: It brother i mean you guide everyone in this company for elk. 00:02:26 Speaker 9: You should have heard cory the other day when we were fishing everyone he just would roll into his little guide like now there's a little sweet little pocket of water right here coming up behind. 00:02:35 Speaker 6: This you know and he would just. 00:02:37 Speaker 9: He'd be talking to you and then he would there would be like an auto play in his head that as you approached a piece of structure or whatever he would or a This bank looks pretty moosey. I wonder if there's a bull tucked away somewhere in the willows. 00:02:48 Speaker 4: Listen, that's the thing. 00:02:48 Speaker 2: There's like way more to it than what he's saying. Randall, you did a little guiding. 00:02:52 Speaker 1: You got any tips? 00:02:53 Speaker 6: Man, I honestly think it's, do you get along with people? Yeah. Do people have a good time when they're with you? 00:03:01 Speaker 1: And you either do or you don't. 00:03:02 Speaker 7: Yeah. 00:03:03 Speaker 1: Anyone else got anything to add? You hunted with a guide, fished with a guide? 00:03:06 Speaker 4: I think you got to have good interp. Like you got to have like 10 or 15 facts. but where you're guiding, kind of locked down, ready to pull out at any time. 00:03:16 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you don't want it to sound like you're telling the same damn story over and over again. 00:03:20 Speaker 6: Which is what I got from Corey. 00:03:24 Speaker 1: Over there is the tree that got struck by lightning. 00:03:27 Speaker 4: How long were you a guide, bro? 00:03:29 Speaker 6: You got to read people, too. 00:03:31 Speaker 1: I'm going to get to my whole story. 00:03:33 Speaker 2: I was hoping Corey would just have a lot more to say about it. 00:03:37 Speaker 6: That's all you need to know. 00:03:39 Speaker 1: Yeah, like, Some more details would help. 00:03:42 Speaker 2: I'm assuming she's talking about, he's going to be guiding deer and elk, but there's like all different kinds of guiding deer and elk could be hiking in, could be horse packing, could be out of vehicles, a lodge hotels, who knows? Um, that all makes a difference in how you're going to prepare for a hunt and then. 00:03:58 Speaker 1: How the guides are going to guide. 00:04:00 Speaker 2: Um, if there's you you may obviously you didn't do this core you just jumped right in but there are guide schools and training programs like out there they run some here in montana yeah. 00:04:11 Speaker 7: I actually went to one when i was 17 but it was more of a pack school we learned yeah. 00:04:15 Speaker 2: For sure which if he's needing to i don't know if they're doing that kind of hunting he should look into it no that's a good point um some of you alluded to what i'm gonna get to um your your husband he needs to be patient He needs to be a good teacher. He needs to make things interesting and be able to tell a story and tell details about the area, you know, geology, history, flora, fauna, all that stuff. You gotta be, and I think Randall alluded to this, you gotta be able to talk comfortably to all different kinds of people. 00:04:47 Speaker 1: Like, including the ones you might not agree with on certain things. 00:04:50 Speaker 6: Oh, terrible people. Just the worst. 00:04:54 Speaker 1: And we always kind of had a hard rule, like, don't talk politics. Don't talk religion. 00:04:59 Speaker 2: Don't talk anything that like people get real upset about, like find common ground. Um, you can be like the most knowledgeable, experienced, skilled hunter in the world. But like, if you're not good with people, you ain't going to have. 00:05:13 Speaker 1: A good outfit or business. 00:05:16 Speaker 2: Um, and then I would say the last thing is like, get to know your clients ahead of time and prepare them for the hunt. Um, know what their expectations are. Like, If a, if a hunter is like seriously out of shape, he probably can't hike up a mountain to kill a trophy bull. And if that's your expectation for him, that's like not the way to do it. Like you need to hunt off of their expectation. They might be happy with a young cow. That's easy to get to. Um, and then other things like find out what their shooting skills are, what gear they need, all that stuff's going to make you do a better job. 00:05:53 Speaker 1: That's all I got to say. 00:05:53 Speaker 4: That's good advice. We just went to guide school. 00:05:56 Speaker 8: Yep. 00:05:57 Speaker 6: Oh, yeah. I guess Corey's having flashbacks. 00:05:59 Speaker 2: I thought Corey would be teaching guide school here at Meat Eater, but now I'm not. 00:06:03 Speaker 7: No, everything I said, basically, you just added more details to what I just said. 00:06:09 Speaker 6: You covered it. 00:06:10 Speaker 5: Fake it till you make it. 00:06:11 Speaker 2: That was kind of a long one, so we're not going to do any housekeeping today. The Henderson Family Index, I used my wife and my two boys for this. Today is a 4.5, so our winner should get nine correct answers, if the index means anything at all. 00:06:28 Speaker 1: I'm not sure it does. It doesn't seem to. 00:06:31 Speaker 4: Can I tell you what the index largely functions at? People need something to compete against every week, and a lot of folks will come up and be like, I just try to beat the Shelby Index. It just sets a baseline for most listeners who can't catch Brody or Randall on every episode. All right. 00:06:47 Speaker 1: With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. 00:06:52 Speaker 6: Look, I need to. 00:06:54 Speaker 1: Know what I stand to win. 00:06:55 Speaker 9: Everything. 00:06:57 Speaker 1: How's that? You stand to win everything. 00:07:07 Speaker 5: Game on, suckers! 00:07:10 Speaker 2: Okay, our first question, as always, is multiple choice. The category is hunting or gear, whichever one you want. 00:07:17 Speaker 4: Okay. 00:07:19 Speaker 1: The most common... You got the question up there, Phil? 00:07:22 Speaker 3: You know, I had this conversation. I wait until the host starts reading the question, and then I move the slide over. 00:07:29 Speaker 1: Well, I like to see it up there. I like to know that things are working. 00:07:33 Speaker 4: The words are bigger. 00:07:34 Speaker 1: There it is. 00:07:35 Speaker 3: It looks like it's working great, like it does every single week. 00:07:37 Speaker 2: I don't... You know, I just got to make sure you're paying attention, Phil. The most common and popular style of hunting knife blade is... Clip point. B, trailing point. C, drop point. Or D, spear point. 00:07:53 Speaker 4: Where are you getting this? Is this like a historical most popular or just like the most available in the market today? 00:07:58 Speaker 1: This is widely available knowledge. If you looked it up on the internet, you'd find 200 things that say the same thing. 00:08:03 Speaker 8: All right. 00:08:04 Speaker 4: I feel like an idiot because none of this lingo means anything to me. 00:08:07 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:08:10 Speaker 4: Same. 00:08:11 Speaker 1: You guys have heard this stuff. I know you've heard this stuff. Randall. 00:08:17 Speaker 6: I know a few of these. 00:08:17 Speaker 4: That's something they'd probably teach you in a guy's school. 00:08:20 Speaker 1: Big knife boy. 00:08:20 Speaker 6: Big knife guy. No, not a big knife guy. 00:08:23 Speaker 1: You know what, though? 00:08:24 Speaker 6: I did. 00:08:24 Speaker 3: Pocket knife guy. 00:08:26 Speaker 6: One time I picked up a hitchhiker. 00:08:28 Speaker 4: Hitchhiker's a big knife guy. 00:08:32 Speaker 5: I love the story that starts with one time I picked up a hitchhiker. 00:08:34 Speaker 9: And he was like, we were just getting the wrong impression from him. Or maybe we were getting the right impression. We were getting bad vibes. And me and my buddy were in the seats of my pickup. And the guy's in the bed. And we've got the little slide window open. And all of a sudden this knife and this hand come through here. 00:08:50 Speaker 6: And we're like, oh my God. He goes, I'm a big knife guy. 00:08:54 Speaker 1: He's like, check this out, man. You like this? 00:08:57 Speaker 9: And then he began to tell us that he was a big knife guy and his brother was a big knife guy, but his brother ended up getting stabbed. So then I was wondering what they really meant by big knife guys. 00:09:07 Speaker 6: Like if it was just like a collector's. 00:09:09 Speaker 4: Thing or if it was like you live by the blade and you die by the blade. 00:09:13 Speaker 6: Yeah, he offered to get us beer and drugs. 00:09:16 Speaker 1: Every week we learn something new about Randall. 00:09:18 Speaker 6: We never texted him back. 00:09:20 Speaker 2: The most common and popular style of hunting knife blade is A. 00:09:25 Speaker 1: Clip point B. Trailing point C. Drop point or D. 00:09:28 Speaker 6: Spear point That guy would know the answer. 00:09:33 Speaker 5: Or if he's still alive. 00:09:35 Speaker 3: Still got his number? 00:09:36 Speaker 4: No. 00:09:39 Speaker 1: Has everyone got an answer? 00:09:40 Speaker 5: Probably dig up old phone records. 00:09:41 Speaker 6: Actually, we did try to call him one time. I don't remember. 00:09:44 Speaker 5: All right. 00:09:44 Speaker 2: Reveal your answers. Seth says drop point. Sarah says drop point. Randa says clip point. Spencer says trailing point. Reva says spear point. And Corey says drop point. We have some correct answers. The answer is C, drop point. 00:10:00 Speaker 6: Yes. 00:10:02 Speaker 5: Good work, Corey. 00:10:04 Speaker 1: You want to show us that picture, Phil? Are you just lagging behind or what's going on? There you go. 00:10:09 Speaker 3: I don't need to defend myself. 00:10:12 Speaker 1: So there you have it. 00:10:12 Speaker 2: On the left there is a drop point. That's the most common and popular style blade for a hunting knife. A little extra info. A drop point knife is a versatile blade design defined by a spine that curves convexly downward from the handle towards the lower reinforced tip. The top edge slopes smoothly downward towards the point rather than running straight or dipping. The full thickness of the steel carries forward to the point, making the tip much thicker and resistant to snapping or bending under pressure. The sweeping curve Provides ample service area for long, smooth slicing strokes. The point sits closer to the center of the axis of the blade, which improves control, precision, and reduces accidental punctures during delicate work. 00:11:00 Speaker 1: There you go. 00:11:01 Speaker 5: Very nice. 00:11:02 Speaker 1: Bet you you got one of those in your hunting kit. Okay. 00:11:07 Speaker 2: On to question two. The category is gear. He's got it up quick this time. What two European countries are recognized for making the highest quality leather hiking boots in the world? I'm quite certain you all have had boots from both of these companies on your. 00:11:36 Speaker 1: Feet at one point or another. 00:11:39 Speaker 4: Country. Country. 00:11:43 Speaker 1: I thought about doing one, but it just seemed lame. 00:11:45 Speaker 7: Yeah. 00:11:45 Speaker 6: I would have preferred you do one. One would have been just fine. 00:11:48 Speaker 5: Maybe you could still change your mind. 00:11:50 Speaker 7: No. 00:11:51 Speaker 6: Did your kids get this one right? 00:11:54 Speaker 1: Between my wife and my kids. 00:11:56 Speaker 6: They did. 00:11:57 Speaker 1: Oh. Okay. 00:12:01 Speaker 4: Oh, gosh. Brody's a fellow anti-gut hook guy. 00:12:08 Speaker 5: I know that. 00:12:08 Speaker 8: Oh, yeah. 00:12:10 Speaker 1: Don't like him. 00:12:11 Speaker 4: Just getting away. Yep. 00:12:13 Speaker 1: You're either good with a knife or you're not. That's the way I look at it. 00:12:17 Speaker 2: But I've punctured my shared stomachs in my time. I kind of like the smell now. 00:12:25 Speaker 5: Hopefully I'll get there someday. 00:12:28 Speaker 4: Randy likes to smell it in his farts the next day. That's what he likes about it. Puncture him in the guts. 00:12:34 Speaker 1: Everyone got an answer? 00:12:36 Speaker 5: We're good? 00:12:37 Speaker 1: Alright, flip them over. 00:12:39 Speaker 7: Seth. 00:12:41 Speaker 1: Italy and Germany. Sarah, Italy and Switzerland. Randall, Italy and Switzerland. Spencer, Italy and Switzerland. Reba, Italy and Germany. Corey, Italy and Germany. We got some people that got it right. The answers are Italy and Germany. 00:12:56 Speaker 4: Oh, no. 00:13:01 Speaker 2: The two European countries most famous for producing high-quality leather hiking boots are Italy and Germany. Both nations share a deep-rooted heritage of alpine mountaineering and master-level shoemaking craftsmanship. In Italy, the bootmaking is largely centered around the Monta Balluna region in northern Italy. Italian manufacturers are renowned for pioneering modern hiking boot innovations. such as the original Vibram rubber lug sole and balancing rugged durability with premium supple leather. Top brands, Crispy, Scarpa, Zamberland, and La Sportiva. Germany, mainly concentrated in the Bavarian region, German bootmaking focuses heavily on traditional robust craftsmanship and incredible longevity. Their boots are known for being highly supportive and Like structural, they have a lot of structural integrity meant for heavy load backpacking. Top brands are Loa, Meindl, and Hanwag. 00:14:08 Speaker 4: I didn't know Loa was a German brand. 00:14:10 Speaker 1: There you go. You learned something today. 00:14:14 Speaker 6: Damn it. 00:14:15 Speaker 1: Does that one hurt, Randall? 00:14:16 Speaker 6: No, I mean, it's fine. In hindsight, it should have said Germany. 00:14:19 Speaker 1: Yeah, you should have. Okay, question three. Are we moving real fast or real slow, Phil? 00:14:25 Speaker 4: We're right on time. 00:14:27 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're doing great. I'd say your flavor text is, they're kind of extended. 00:14:31 Speaker 1: Wait till you see the next one. 00:14:34 Speaker 3: I've seen the script, so I'm just saying. 00:14:35 Speaker 5: It gets longer. 00:14:36 Speaker 1: No, I like them long. I like explaining myself. Okay, question three. 00:14:41 Speaker 2: The category is fishing. This four-letter word is another name for a trout, char, or salmon spawning bed. 00:14:51 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I've got some good stuff for this one. 00:14:56 Speaker 6: Cory, how many points do you have? This will be number three. Oh, wow. That's fun. 00:15:07 Speaker 5: Don't want to get too excited. 00:15:08 Speaker 1: It's early still. 00:15:09 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's going to get tough. 00:15:10 Speaker 1: Seth's a bass fisherman, by the way. 00:15:14 Speaker 5: Yeah. I like bed fish and bass, too. 00:15:18 Speaker 1: Spencer, weren't you some kind of fisheries biologist? Yeah, not cold water, though. 00:15:22 Speaker 5: Okay. 00:15:22 Speaker 4: Cold water is a blind spot for me. 00:15:31 Speaker 6: If you don't know this word. 00:15:32 Speaker 2: Four-letter word is another name for a trout, char, or salmon spawning bed. 00:15:37 Speaker 1: Probably a few of. 00:15:37 Speaker 7: These out there right now is the brown trout. 00:15:39 Speaker 1: Certainly are. 00:15:40 Speaker 9: I was going to say, if you don't know this word, how do you get directions on where to fish? 00:15:44 Speaker 1: Yeah. Some people would take issue with that, but I don't. 00:15:49 Speaker 6: Oh, no, I am being facetious. 00:15:52 Speaker 1: Oh, no, I'm not. 00:15:52 Speaker 6: I'll clarify that for the. 00:15:54 Speaker 1: You don't like ripping them off spawning beds with egg patterns? 00:15:57 Speaker 6: Not so much. 00:15:58 Speaker 4: No? 00:15:58 Speaker 3: All right. 00:16:01 Speaker 5: They go back. 00:16:03 Speaker 1: They go right back. I've watched them do it. 00:16:07 Speaker 6: And then some of them go down the current. 00:16:10 Speaker 1: Yeah, spawn somewhere else. 00:16:15 Speaker 5: I think I know, but I don't want to spell it. 00:16:17 Speaker 1: Well, just make sure there's four letters. 00:16:20 Speaker 6: That means you should... Well, never mind. 00:16:24 Speaker 8: What? 00:16:24 Speaker 6: Nothing. 00:16:25 Speaker 5: That's a good question. I'm surprised we haven't had that yet. 00:16:26 Speaker 4: He was going to tell us it's an easy word to spell. I don't know it either. 00:16:30 Speaker 6: All right, come on. 00:16:31 Speaker 1: I got a long flavor text to get through. 00:16:33 Speaker 5: I'm ready. 00:16:39 Speaker 1: Okay, here we go. Seth's ready. Flip them over. Seth says red. Red. 00:16:45 Speaker 2: Sarah says red. Randall says red. Spencer says home. Reva says nest. Corey says red. I'm going to give it to you, Seth. 00:16:52 Speaker 6: Which letter did he double? 00:16:52 Speaker 1: It's four letters. Like, read a book. 00:16:56 Speaker 6: Oh, gotcha. 00:16:57 Speaker 5: But it's like, I'm good. Same word. 00:16:59 Speaker 1: If you guys are okay with it. 00:17:00 Speaker 5: Same word, different spelling. 00:17:01 Speaker 1: Homophone. Phil, are you paying attention to who gets them right? Because I'm not. 00:17:07 Speaker 6: He always does. 00:17:08 Speaker 3: Yeah, I try to do that every week. 00:17:09 Speaker 5: That's his job. 00:17:12 Speaker 2: Okay, let's learn about the term red. Traces back to the old English word heredon in the early 15th century. Trout spawning beds are called reds because the word comes from an old Scottish verb meaning to clear or to make tidy. To red or red. 00:17:30 Speaker 1: Up means to clean or put a room in order. When a female trout, you got, yeah, you got it up there. 00:17:36 Speaker 2: I just got to stop asking Phil if he's doing his job. 00:17:38 Speaker 1: This is really weird. 00:17:40 Speaker 2: When a female trout or salmon built a nest, she uses their tail fin and body to brush and scrape the riverbed clean and sweeps away all the dark silt, mud, moss, and leaves that bright patch of gravel that you see there. 00:17:54 Speaker 1: And it's got two parts. 00:17:55 Speaker 2: The pot is the scooped out depression where she lays her eggs and the tail spill or pillow is the mound of gravel downstream. 00:18:03 Speaker 1: That'll settle over the eggs and cover them up and protect them. 00:18:07 Speaker 6: There you go. That wasn't nearly as long as I was expecting. 00:18:11 Speaker 1: It feels like impatient. I'm seeing if I got any of their even. Oh yeah, I do. I got some longer ones. Question four. This one's especially for Randall. The category is birds. 00:18:26 Speaker 5: Oh, bird guy. 00:18:28 Speaker 1: Rough grouse have two primary color phases, red and blank. 00:18:41 Speaker 3: Huh. 00:18:44 Speaker 1: Reva's got an answer. She doesn't even know what a rough grouse looks like. 00:18:47 Speaker 6: I almost made a critical. No, never mind. 00:19:00 Speaker 4: You know this one? 00:19:01 Speaker 5: No, no, no. 00:19:02 Speaker 4: Does anybody know this one? 00:19:04 Speaker 1: Not really. 00:19:05 Speaker 4: Maybe. 00:19:05 Speaker 1: We'll find out. You guys should hunt grouse more. 00:19:08 Speaker 5: I hunt grouse, but just not the rough ones. 00:19:10 Speaker 4: Only when they get in the way. 00:19:11 Speaker 1: The rough ones are all over around here. 00:19:14 Speaker 5: Yeah, I usually hunt more country. 00:19:16 Speaker 1: And they're dumb. 00:19:17 Speaker 4: Sharpies and. 00:19:18 Speaker 1: Yeah, open stuff. 00:19:20 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:19:21 Speaker 8: Yeah. 00:19:22 Speaker 1: Rough grouse are way better to eat than sharp tails. 00:19:24 Speaker 4: Is that a universal agreement that they're dumb birds? 00:19:27 Speaker 2: No, like back east where Seth and I grew up, they're the most paranoid birds in the world. 00:19:32 Speaker 1: But around here, they're just dumb because nobody hunts them. 00:19:35 Speaker 4: Relatively speaking. Like dusky grouse, like the ones you see up in the mountains. 00:19:39 Speaker 2: You walk by one and flush it, it flies up into the tree six feet staring at you. 00:19:44 Speaker 1: They're great. Shoot them out of the trees. It's like those arcade games. Alright, flip them over. 00:19:53 Speaker 2: Seth says gray. Sarah says brown. Randall says gray. Spencer says tan. Reva says yellow. I told you she didn't know what a rough grouse looks like. 00:20:00 Speaker 3: Corey says blue. 00:20:03 Speaker 1: Corey, I'm disappointed, man. Blue is a blue grouse. 00:20:06 Speaker 3: I had brown and changed it. 00:20:08 Speaker 6: I wanted to tell. I changed from blue. 00:20:10 Speaker 1: We had some correct answers. The answer is gray. Yeah, Sethy. 00:20:14 Speaker 5: Is that really a color? 00:20:16 Speaker 6: Grouse brothers. 00:20:16 Speaker 1: I should have done a picture for this one, Phil. 00:20:19 Speaker 3: Yeah, you really messed up, Brody. 00:20:21 Speaker 4: I know. 00:20:21 Speaker 3: Amateur move. 00:20:22 Speaker 1: I don't know. 00:20:23 Speaker 8: God. 00:20:24 Speaker 2: Anyway, two rough grass color phases are red and gray, which are most clearly distinguished by the color of their tail and some body feathers, mostly tail. Red features a reddish brown or rust colored body and a distinct rusty or red toned tail. Gray features a paler body with a distinctly gray tail and rump feathers, usually featuring a black subterminal band near the tip. Gray-faced birds dominate colder, snowier northern regions of Canada, Alaska, and northern U.S., like right here in Montana. Red-faced birds are common in milder southern climates and Pacific coastal areas. Biologists note that these variations are heavily tied to natural selection and habitat. Gray-faced birds often have a survival advantage in northern areas, while red-faced birds have better camouflage abilities. during snow-free periods. 00:21:17 Speaker 5: Oh, Phil. 00:21:18 Speaker 4: He's a professional. 00:21:19 Speaker 2: Obviously, there are both of them in one spot there. Yeah, most of them around here are gray that I've seen. 00:21:26 Speaker 1: There you go. Thank you, Phil. What a difference between those two fans. 00:21:29 Speaker 5: Thanks, you're welcome. 00:21:32 Speaker 1: All right. 00:21:33 Speaker 2: Moving on to question five. The category is weather. Now, Spencer, I was very worried. 00:21:38 Speaker 1: That we might have had this question before, but I couldn't ask you. Okay. Phil doesn't have it up yet. There it is. The Beaufort scale measures what? Category is weather. It's very quiet. I think Randall knew this. Why don't you get it right off the bat? I think so. 00:22:13 Speaker 6: Big weather guy. I just downloaded the Weather Channel app on my phone. 00:22:18 Speaker 3: How's that been? 00:22:19 Speaker 4: It's pretty bad. 00:22:20 Speaker 6: It's hard to navigate, I'll be honest. 00:22:22 Speaker 4: It's the one I've had forever, and I don't know why I haven't changed. It's just like what I'm used to. 00:22:26 Speaker 6: I've just gotten. 00:22:26 Speaker 9: Tired of Googling weather place, weather place. 00:22:30 Speaker 1: You don't use the one that's just on your Apple phone? 00:22:32 Speaker 5: That one's the worst. 00:22:34 Speaker 3: I've really refined it over the last several updates. Nulp. 00:22:39 Speaker 5: No way. 00:22:41 Speaker 1: I won't believe it. 00:22:43 Speaker 5: I refuse. 00:22:44 Speaker 10: I just use the National Weather Service. And Windy is a real good one. I use AccuWeather, Windy, and the Weather Channel. Put them all together. It's still probably going to be wrong. 00:22:54 Speaker 4: I do Windy, Weather Underground. 00:22:56 Speaker 5: That's a pretty good. 00:22:58 Speaker 1: Yeah, I had that one for a while, but something about it bugged me. 00:23:00 Speaker 6: I don't like the Weather Underground because of the terrorist associations. 00:23:02 Speaker 5: Yeah, terrorist. That's it. 00:23:04 Speaker 4: Oh, explain that to me. 00:23:06 Speaker 6: Weather Underground. 00:23:07 Speaker 1: Terrorist? 00:23:08 Speaker 8: Yeah. 00:23:10 Speaker 5: Look it up. 00:23:10 Speaker 4: It's legit. I didn't know that. 00:23:14 Speaker 1: You'll have to explain that to me later. 00:23:16 Speaker 4: The Weather Channel is not the one, though. 00:23:17 Speaker 5: Ask Steve about it. He likes talking about it. 00:23:19 Speaker 1: I'm sure he does. The Beaufort scale measures what? 00:23:23 Speaker 6: I was joking. 00:23:24 Speaker 1: What thing in the category of weather. 00:23:28 Speaker 6: Does the Beaufort scale measure? 00:23:29 Speaker 9: It is the same name, but it doesn't have any bearing on how I feel about the app. 00:23:34 Speaker 4: Oh, okay. 00:23:40 Speaker 3: I was going to say thank you for making a stand, Randall, but I take it back. 00:23:44 Speaker 4: Pro terrorist over there. 00:23:46 Speaker 1: All right. 00:23:46 Speaker 2: I think everyone has an answer, so flip them over. Seth says dew point. Sarah says wind. Randall says wind. Spencer says wind. Reva says air pressure. Corey says tides. 00:23:59 Speaker 1: That's a good one. The answer is wind, speed, or forced. 00:24:03 Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. 00:24:03 Speaker 1: So we had some right answers. 00:24:04 Speaker 3: I actually had that and deleted it. Oh, no. 00:24:06 Speaker 5: Deleted it. It's tragic. 00:24:08 Speaker 1: No, wind is fine. Just wind is fine. Devised in 1805 by Irish-born British Royal Navy hydrograph... Hydrographer? Hydrographer? Sounds weird. 00:24:22 Speaker 2: Sir Francis Beaufort. The scale originally standardized how sailors logged wind effects on warship sails. It was later adapted for use on land. You can see the scale there, 0 through 12. Uh, like force zero is calm wind under one mile an hour. Smoke rises vertically. Uh, force four is a moderate breeze. Force eight fresh gale. Pretty, pretty high. 00:24:45 Speaker 1: Fresh gales, 39 to 46 miles an hour. 00:24:48 Speaker 4: That's where Randall lives. 00:24:49 Speaker 1: I know. 00:24:50 Speaker 9: I like, I like how land conditions like at one or two, it's direction is shown by a smoke drift or wind felt on face at 12. 00:24:57 Speaker 6: It's just devastation. 00:25:01 Speaker 1: Are you observing devastation? Armageddon. There you go. 00:25:06 Speaker 6: That's pretty normal. 00:25:08 Speaker 1: Yeah, in Livingston. I drove through Livingston the other day. There was not a breath of wind. I was wondering what was going on. 00:25:19 Speaker 2: Phil, do we need a scoreboard update right now? 00:25:23 Speaker 3: Now's about the time we do that. 00:25:25 Speaker 1: I'll go ahead. Here at halftime, we got everyone on the board here. Quattro. Look at that. 00:25:33 Speaker 3: Spencer and Reva have one point apiece. 00:25:36 Speaker 4: That's why I host. 00:25:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, Spencer, I think you win more often than you do not when you are playing. We'll see if you catch up here. Sarah, Randall, and Corey have three points. And in first place, four points. 00:25:49 Speaker 5: Seth Morris. 00:25:50 Speaker 1: That a boy, Seth. 00:25:51 Speaker 5: See if we can hold on to it. 00:25:53 Speaker 4: Pennsylvania brain over there. Pennsylvania brain. They got osmosis going. 00:26:01 Speaker 1: Think alike. Okay, on to question six, which happens to be our question of the week brought to you by... This is. 00:26:09 Speaker 5: Why I don't do that. 00:26:10 Speaker 1: What do you mean? 00:26:12 Speaker 3: I moved to the question too early. 00:26:14 Speaker 5: Just keep going, Brody. 00:26:15 Speaker 1: It's all right. I mean, I don't really care what you're. 00:26:19 Speaker 5: Doing at this point. 00:26:20 Speaker 4: Daniel already has the answer. 00:26:21 Speaker 5: So does Seth. 00:26:22 Speaker 4: Damn, I didn't even see it. 00:26:24 Speaker 1: Are you serious? Should I even keep going? 00:26:28 Speaker 6: Yeah, for the audience. 00:26:29 Speaker 2: These players aren't playing nicely. 00:26:35 Speaker 1: Okay, question of the week. 00:26:37 Speaker 2: I'm not going to pronounce this right, but you know who you are. Shalom Tietje. 00:26:44 Speaker 4: We got his email. What's he get for sending us in? $ 150 First Light gift card. If you want to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to TriviaTheMeatEater.com. 00:26:53 Speaker 1: See, Spencer's got this script memorized. 00:26:55 Speaker 8: Dialed. 00:26:57 Speaker 1: The category is guns. 00:26:59 Speaker 2: This type of rifle and shotgun stock with a raised cheek rest comes from the French Riviera and shares a name with a former Las Vegas casino. 00:27:11 Speaker 4: My shotgun has one of these. 00:27:12 Speaker 5: I'm not changing it. 00:27:14 Speaker 6: I'm not changing it either, Seth. Let's ride it out. 00:27:20 Speaker 1: This is the hill I'm going to die on. I've never used a shotgun with one of these. I've used a rifle with one of these. 00:27:26 Speaker 6: Do you think it's not right? 00:27:27 Speaker 5: I think I'm right. 00:27:29 Speaker 3: I can't say that I'm 100% sure. 00:27:30 Speaker 5: I mean, y'all know the name of a casino. Come on. 00:27:44 Speaker 1: Former casino former which what's one of the old ones that went out of business. 00:27:50 Speaker 4: Lucky lils no they are very much in business. 00:27:54 Speaker 3: They are thriving they're doing just fine there's lucky lils there's probably 10 lucky lils being built right now in montana the big. 00:28:02 Speaker 4: The new big 10 in this town pump on huffine. 00:28:05 Speaker 3: Separate building it's insane. 00:28:08 Speaker 2: This type of rifle and shotgun stock with a raised cheek rest comes from the French Riviera and it shares a name with a former Las Vegas casino. 00:28:16 Speaker 1: Does everyone have an answer? Sure. Reva, you ever been to Vegas? Yes. 00:28:23 Speaker 6: I have twice. 00:28:24 Speaker 5: Did you do some gambling? 00:28:26 Speaker 3: Yes, I actually have. 00:28:29 Speaker 6: We've got to get Seth. No. 00:28:31 Speaker 3: I mean, not much. 00:28:32 Speaker 5: Sorry. Well, not much. 00:28:36 Speaker 1: Oh, you got an answer? 00:28:39 Speaker 2: All right, flip them over. Seth says Monte Carlo. Sarah says Monte Carlo. Randa says Monte Carlo. Spencer says Venetian. 00:28:48 Speaker 1: Riva says horseshoe. And Corey has never been to Vegas. Nope. But I bet you he shot a rifle with one of these things. 00:28:55 Speaker 4: I've never heard of that before. 00:28:56 Speaker 1: The answer is Monte Carlo. Venetian. 00:28:59 Speaker 4: Oh. 00:29:02 Speaker 1: Bellagio? 00:29:02 Speaker 5: He's definitely shot one. 00:29:03 Speaker 6: Oh, yeah. 00:29:05 Speaker 1: Can we show him a picture, Phil? It took a lot of time to get a picture of this thing. 00:29:08 Speaker 6: Weatherby. 00:29:09 Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say if you have a Weatherby, you had Monte Carlo. 00:29:14 Speaker 1: There you go. 00:29:14 Speaker 2: That's what it looks like. The Monte Carlo design originated in the 19th century at the Monte Carlo shooting range in Monaco, which was known for live pigeon shooting competitions. The raised cheek comb combined with a sharp downward step or cutaway near the heel. The design is widely used on shotguns, especially trap and sporting models and large caliber rifles. 00:29:39 Speaker 1: Um, the, the bet. 00:29:40 Speaker 2: Kind of the reason is keeping the head in a more upright natural position rather than forcing the neck to bend down um and ensures the entire butt of the gun makes full contact with the shooter's shoulder Raises the shooter's eye to the relative the rib line of a shotgun or aligns the eye properly with an optical scope. Ideal for shooters with long necks, high cheekbones or sloping shoulders. Faster mounts with a shotgun, like a quick instinctive mount to the face. The drawbacks are it can raise the head too high, causing awkward alignment when shooting at steep upward or downward angles. And on very large caliber rifles, and I've experienced this, a high comb can sometimes increase perceived recoil, particularly cheek and facial. 00:30:31 Speaker 1: Impact, if the gun isn't dialed in precisely, like the fit of the gun. 00:30:36 Speaker 4: You ever been to the Monte Carlo, Brody? 00:30:38 Speaker 1: No. I think I've only been to Vegas twice. I hate that place. You more than me. 00:30:44 Speaker 6: I love it. 00:30:45 Speaker 5: I've never been. 00:30:45 Speaker 4: I've only been to the airport. 00:30:47 Speaker 5: We should do a meat eater trip. I've been to the airport. 00:30:49 Speaker 4: How can we make a shot show? Oh, you're right. 00:30:52 Speaker 6: I'm trying to get to SHOT Show anyway. 00:30:54 Speaker 4: It's been too long. 00:30:55 Speaker 5: Yeah, let's go to Vegas. 00:30:55 Speaker 6: Let's do it. 00:30:57 Speaker 1: We'll bring Phil. 00:30:59 Speaker 5: Oh, please. 00:31:00 Speaker 1: Phil, you like gambling? 00:31:01 Speaker 3: No, it gives me horrible anxiety. But I like all the theme park adjacent stuff down there. 00:31:07 Speaker 5: It's fun. 00:31:07 Speaker 2: We'll just go to the tiki bars. I guess you can have a lot of fun there now without gambling. 00:31:12 Speaker 1: There's all kinds of crazy stuff to do. Question number seven. Put it up there, Phil. 00:31:19 Speaker 2: Category is fishing. In 2009, an angler in what country tied the world record for largemouth bass? 00:31:34 Speaker 5: So we're naming the country? 00:31:36 Speaker 1: You're naming the country, yes. 2009, an angler in what country tied the world record for largemouth bass? Spencer knows this one. 00:31:48 Speaker 4: First one I felt confident about. Yeah? 00:31:51 Speaker 1: Anyone else confident? 00:31:53 Speaker 6: Pretty confident. Bassman? 00:31:58 Speaker 5: I mean, I think I have it narrowed down to two. 00:32:00 Speaker 1: What about you, Randall? 00:32:02 Speaker 6: I'm pretty confident. 00:32:04 Speaker 2: You got some people who think they know it. 00:32:09 Speaker 1: Everybody got an answer? Flip them over. 00:32:13 Speaker 2: Seth says Mexico. Sarah says Canada. Randall says Japan. Spencer says Japan. Reva says Canada. 00:32:19 Speaker 1: Corey says USA. The answer is Japan. 00:32:23 Speaker 5: Dang it. 00:32:24 Speaker 7: Really? 00:32:25 Speaker 5: I knew they had a huge bass fishing culture, but I thought. 00:32:28 Speaker 6: They do. 00:32:28 Speaker 5: I didn't think they were big. 00:32:30 Speaker 2: And they're, you know, it's like they made that bass. They're obviously not native to Japan. 00:32:36 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:32:36 Speaker 1: On July 2nd. 00:32:38 Speaker 2: 2009, Japanese angler Manabu Kurita tied the largemouth bass world record set by George Perry in Georgia's Lake Montgomery in 1932. He caught the massive largemouth out of Lake Biwa on a live bluegill, which I love. 00:32:55 Speaker 6: That's so nice. 00:32:56 Speaker 1: That's good. And after some controversy about whether Corita landed the bass in a no fishing zone was settled, like he wasn't fishing in a no fishing zone, the record was officially certified by the IGFA. We should go to Japan. 00:33:12 Speaker 6: Did they include the weight of the bluegill in that? 00:33:15 Speaker 1: I don't know. If it made it into his stomach, you know. 00:33:18 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:33:19 Speaker 2: And actually, there's some rule in the IGFA record book that a record has to exceed, to break a record, the new record has to exceed it by, I think, two ounces, maybe. And his bass actually weighed almost an ounce more than Perry's bass did, but it didn't exceed whatever that kind of threshold is. 00:33:45 Speaker 5: That's a big bucket. 00:33:46 Speaker 1: Oh, gosh. Seth, could you imagine? I'd love to fish a live bluegill to one of those things. 00:33:52 Speaker 4: That would be fun. I imagine that's under a bobber, too. 00:33:55 Speaker 6: Yeah, sure. I'd put a balloon on it. 00:33:59 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like an American angler wouldn't be caught dead doing that, Seth. 00:34:04 Speaker 4: No. 00:34:04 Speaker 1: An American angler wouldn't look like that. 00:34:06 Speaker 5: No, they do it on Okeechobee down in Florida. They're not using bluegills, but they're using shiners. Yeah. 00:34:11 Speaker 2: So what would be the reaction in the United States if that's how someone set the new record? 00:34:17 Speaker 1: Do you think. 00:34:20 Speaker 6: I'd celebrate him. 00:34:22 Speaker 5: I wouldn't care. I'm sure there's some dudes out there like you didn't do it with some artificial. 00:34:32 Speaker 1: Alright. It's question 8. Before we get to that question, let's do another scoreboard update, Phil. 00:34:38 Speaker 3: Don't we do it after question 8? 00:34:42 Speaker 1: Let's just do it after then, Phil. I've got an idea. 00:34:46 Speaker 5: Great suggestion. 00:34:48 Speaker 2: You could have told me that beforehand. You saw the script. You could have told me that. You were waiting for me to just fail. 00:34:55 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was very thrilled when he saw that. 00:34:58 Speaker 3: I used to like Phil. Between yesterday's news show and whatever you're doing today, I feel incredibly cornered. 00:35:05 Speaker 1: Phil, I love you. You know I do. 00:35:08 Speaker 4: He's on Indeed back there. 00:35:11 Speaker 1: This is also a fan question brought to you by Nicholas Sikoski, who's turned in some questions before. 00:35:18 Speaker 2: But I wasn't going to give him the question of the week because I think he's already had it a couple times. 00:35:23 Speaker 1: The category is water. 00:35:25 Speaker 6: You know why you can't win, Nick. 00:35:28 Speaker 1: No, he's already gotten the question twice. Spencer awarded it to him twice. 00:35:33 Speaker 2: Okay, question is, Noah uses this four-letter word to describe a circular. 00:35:38 Speaker 1: Current of water. Now, Corey, you'd be very disappointed if you don't get this. 00:35:45 Speaker 4: Big fishing guide Corey over there. 00:35:48 Speaker 6: A lot of four-letter words in this game. 00:35:51 Speaker 1: Not the nasty ones. 00:35:53 Speaker 4: In countries. 00:35:59 Speaker 7: All I can think about is being the crosswalk guy here in 15 minutes. 00:36:04 Speaker 6: Don't bring that into the office. Don't bring that negativity into the office. 00:36:07 Speaker 3: My side hustle. 00:36:09 Speaker 5: Crosswalk guy. 00:36:11 Speaker 1: Your kid can be the crosswalk guy. He'll be fine. He's not tall enough. 00:36:16 Speaker 4: There's some aggro drivers out there. 00:36:18 Speaker 6: Only people driving go-karts would see him and stop. 00:36:22 Speaker 1: Well, write a damn answer down if you need to be silly. 00:36:26 Speaker 5: We're good on time. 00:36:27 Speaker 6: That's all I'm thinking about, though. We're falling apart. 00:36:32 Speaker 5: Core. 00:36:33 Speaker 1: Nothing coming to you, Seth? 00:36:35 Speaker 5: Core. 00:36:36 Speaker 6: Come on, bud. That's not four letters. 00:36:39 Speaker 1: Hold on. Let's keep talking. 00:36:41 Speaker 6: I started calling Corey. 00:36:43 Speaker 9: Core this weekend yeah that's what my mom calls me yeah. 00:36:46 Speaker 1: Core did cory forget the 10 or did you it. 00:36:51 Speaker 9: Was a team effort it was a miscommunication oh no yeah we survived i think it was more fun it. 00:36:59 Speaker 1: Didn't lead to just like a knockdown drag out fight in the middle of the woods i brought the stove the complete. 00:37:06 Speaker 4: Like just like at what point did you guys realize there was no tent When we were going to set. 00:37:10 Speaker 9: Up the tent. 00:37:13 Speaker 6: Two point whatever miles in. 00:37:15 Speaker 5: Who had the tarp? 00:37:16 Speaker 1: I had the tarp. 00:37:17 Speaker 2: Noah uses this four-letter word to describe a circular current of water. 00:37:21 Speaker 1: I think everyone's got an answer, so flip them over. Seth says Eddie. Sarah says Eddie. Randall says Eddie. Spencer says Eddie. Reba says Locke. Corey does not have an answer. It doesn't always go in a circle. The answer is an Eddie. 00:37:36 Speaker 5: This is a circle. 00:37:38 Speaker 8: I think of it as like a big old oval. 00:37:43 Speaker 4: That's it. 00:37:43 Speaker 6: Or it's almost D-shaped sometimes. 00:37:45 Speaker 1: I think you're nitpicking a little bit. I'm trying to answer your question. There's an Eddie. Looks like a circle to me. That is a pretty good circle. 00:37:53 Speaker 5: There's for sure trout sitting there. 00:37:56 Speaker 7: Okay. 00:37:56 Speaker 6: Foam is home. 00:37:57 Speaker 2: The word eddy comes from the word ed, meaning turning back again or backwards. It is closely related to the old Norse word etha, which explicitly means a whirlpool. Eddy has been used in the English language since the 15th century to describe flow patterns such as water, air, smoke, or gas that move counter to the direction of the main current. Eddies occur when a fluid moves past an obstruction, like a rock or bridge in a river, or when ocean or air currents pinch off a section of flow, creating a low-pressure pocket where water or air curls back. 00:38:30 Speaker 1: Upstream or in a loop. The eddy line is the invisible boundary or seam where a fast-moving main current meets the slower, reversed-flowing water of the eddy. 00:38:38 Speaker 2: In oceans, eddies bring... Nutrient-rich, cold, deep water to the surface and in rivers, they provide feeding and resting spots for fish out of the main current. 00:38:50 Speaker 3: I always thought of the structure. 00:38:51 Speaker 4: As being that. 00:38:52 Speaker 1: They didn't teach you about eddies in that guide school you went to, huh? 00:38:55 Speaker 4: I mean, I caught a fish in an eddy just two days ago. Couldn't have named it though. 00:39:01 Speaker 1: All right. I guess we got to do some kind of review now, Phil. 00:39:04 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, let's do a scoreboard. 00:39:05 Speaker 6: Corey's basically got his reflective vest on. 00:39:07 Speaker 1: Things have changed a little bit. 00:39:09 Speaker 5: Yeah, Corey, who was. 00:39:13 Speaker 3: Tied up in second with three points, has not gotten another point since then. We're looking at Reva with one. Spencer and Corey now have three points apiece. Sarah has five. And in first place, Seth and Randall are tied. 00:39:25 Speaker 5: Up with six. 00:39:26 Speaker 8: Okay. 00:39:27 Speaker 5: Left side of the table. 00:39:30 Speaker 4: Power. 00:39:32 Speaker 1: Moving on to question nine. And we're going to do the correct answer review after this question, Phil, just so you know. 00:39:39 Speaker 5: Thank you. 00:39:41 Speaker 1: The category is cooking. 00:39:43 Speaker 2: According to culinary legends like Julia Childs and James Beard and Michelin chef Mawa McQueen, What red wine is the gold standard recommendation for the French wine-based stew called Beef Bourguignon? Anybody need me to read that again? The listeners do. All you listeners out there. According to culinary legends like Julia Childs and James Beard and Michelin chef Mawa McQueen, she has a bunch of restaurants around Aspen. What red wine is. 00:40:29 Speaker 1: The go-to for beef bourguignon? It's a wine-based French stew. 00:40:37 Speaker 4: Corey, if you'd have died on that hunt with Randall, Randall was actually going to adopt Marshall afterwards. I don't know if he told you that. 00:40:43 Speaker 6: No, we didn't make it that far, I guess. I wouldn't have crossed and guarded, though. I've got appointments at three. 00:40:50 Speaker 1: Were you planning on teaching him how to smoke cigarettes and drink beer and cool stuff like that? That's primarily what he was going to teach him. 00:40:56 Speaker 5: Pick up hitchhikers? 00:40:57 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:40:57 Speaker 9: That was a fun day. 00:40:59 Speaker 4: Okay. 00:41:02 Speaker 1: Everyone got an answer? Flip them over. 00:41:04 Speaker 5: I don't know wine. 00:41:06 Speaker 1: Flip them over. Okay, Sarah says Burgundy. Randall says Port. Spencer says Cabernet. Cab sa- What are you saying there? 00:41:17 Speaker 4: Cab sa- Cabernet Sauvignon. 00:41:20 Speaker 1: Corey says port. It's a zero percenter, man. Oh, really? Pinot Noir. 00:41:27 Speaker 5: Oh, Pinot Noir. 00:41:29 Speaker 1: Because the dish. 00:41:30 Speaker 2: Originates from the Burgundy region, I'm thinking about giving this to you, Sarah, but I'm not- Hold on, hold on. 00:41:36 Speaker 5: Wait, what'd you have? 00:41:37 Speaker 6: Burgundy. 00:41:39 Speaker 2: The Burgundy region of Eastern France, the traditional standard is to use. 00:41:43 Speaker 5: That's not the grape, though. 00:41:45 Speaker 1: That's true. 00:41:46 Speaker 6: It's a different varietal. 00:41:49 Speaker 2: The traditional standard is to use a Pinot Noir from that same area. Julius Child specifies a full-bodied Pinot Noir. 00:42:00 Speaker 1: Michelin-nominated chef I got to, Mama McQueen. 00:42:03 Speaker 3: He's getting tired of his own flavor. 00:42:05 Speaker 2: Explicitly designates a dry red Pinot Noir as the ideal choice. Noting its brightness, and notes of red berries, herbs, and earthiness complement the savory beef, mushrooms, and pearl onions. This is one of my favorite winter meals to make with deer elk. You can't go wrong with the original OG Julia Child's recipe. We've also got a couple like, versions of it on the Meteor website including one made with jackrabbit but you can use deer or elk in that recipe and it'll be great so there you go make that recipe it's a good one boy. 00:42:38 Speaker 1: Okay I guess I gotta go through these answers Phil doesn't do that for me um question one C drop point two is Italy and Germany three the answer is red R-E-D-D uh Four is gray. Five is wind speed or force. My computer's stuck. 00:43:07 Speaker 6: Monte Carlo? 00:43:08 Speaker 1: Yes, Monte Carlo. Seven is Japan. Eight is Eddie. 00:43:15 Speaker 4: Pinot Noir. 00:43:16 Speaker 1: Pinot Noir. 00:43:18 Speaker 4: We got it. 00:43:18 Speaker 1: So this is the last question, guys. What's the situation here? Tied up. Still tied. A lot riding on this one. 00:43:26 Speaker 4: Mm-hmm. 00:43:27 Speaker 1: The category is hunting. I bet you Spencer will get this one. 00:43:30 Speaker 4: All right, okay. 00:43:32 Speaker 2: What famous big whitetail buck state has the shortest general firearms whitetail season in the country? 00:43:38 Speaker 8: So we're pulling a state out of a famous bucket? 00:43:51 Speaker 4: And it's not counting muzzleloaders. Or it is. 00:43:56 Speaker 2: General firearms. I think in this state, those are included in general firearms. It's not like a special, you know what I'm saying? 00:44:06 Speaker 5: You guys know? 00:44:07 Speaker 1: We could guess. 00:44:10 Speaker 4: Jeez. 00:44:12 Speaker 6: Do you know? Do you know, Seth? 00:44:14 Speaker 5: No. 00:44:15 Speaker 1: Big box state. 00:44:16 Speaker 2: Which one has the shortest general firearms season in the country for whitetails? 00:44:25 Speaker 1: Everyone got an answer? Spencer's really thinking, man. He knows all the big bucks. 00:44:30 Speaker 4: Looking at the dates. Just looking at the dates. 00:44:33 Speaker 6: Get out of town. 00:44:34 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:44:35 Speaker 6: He's got his calendar app open. 00:44:37 Speaker 5: Mm-hmm. 00:44:39 Speaker 6: That's a good native app. 00:44:40 Speaker 5: Just think about what hunts you've done, Spencer, that were the shortest. 00:44:43 Speaker 4: I know. I know. 00:44:44 Speaker 5: Because you've probably hunted this place. 00:44:46 Speaker 1: I believe he has. Oh, little clue. 00:44:50 Speaker 7: Mm-hmm. 00:44:51 Speaker 6: Can I change my answer? 00:44:52 Speaker 5: No. 00:44:52 Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't said flip them yet. Go for it. 00:44:55 Speaker 6: No, no. 00:44:57 Speaker 1: I think you should because there's a lot on the line here. 00:44:59 Speaker 3: Did someone give a hint? 00:45:00 Speaker 6: No, no. Let's just do it. 00:45:02 Speaker 1: Okay, I gave you your chance. Flip them over. 00:45:06 Speaker 2: Seth says Wisconsin. Sarah says Wisconsin. Randall says Ohio. Ooh, Spencer says Kansas. 00:45:12 Speaker 6: Iowa. 00:45:13 Speaker 2: Corey says Illinois. 00:45:15 Speaker 1: The answer is Illinois. Interesting. 00:45:20 Speaker 6: Boing. Well, guess what? That means you have to stick around a little longer, Corey. 00:45:25 Speaker 1: Oh, we got a tiebreaker. Good thing I wrote one. 00:45:28 Speaker 2: Illinois' firearm deer season is short and split into a three-day period in November and a four-day period in December. Illinois offers a long archery season that spans roughly three months from October through mid-January. But during gun season, high hunter numbers and high deer densities, especially in open agricultural areas, mean high harvest rates are And management quotas are achieved very quickly. A longer gun season could negatively impact mortality rates for young bucks, which would reduce trophy quality, which Illinois is known for. An excessive doe harvest could deplete herd numbers. There's an asterisk here because I'm sure some people will. 00:46:09 Speaker 1: Write in about this. 00:46:11 Speaker 2: There are sometimes some special additional late season doe harvest. Only firearms opportunities focus on population reduction in CWD management areas. 00:46:20 Speaker 6: So it's a seven-day total? Mm-hmm. How long is Ohio's general firearm? I don't know. 00:46:27 Speaker 1: I never lived in Ohio. They had a list of the short ones. Ohio might have been nine. I'm just curious. 00:46:33 Speaker 6: Just curious. Thought we were in the neighborhood. 00:46:36 Speaker 4: I know Wisconsin's short. 00:46:38 Speaker 6: On to the tiebreaker. 00:46:39 Speaker 1: Geez, Randall. Sorry. 00:46:42 Speaker 6: Looking out for these children. 00:46:44 Speaker 1: Don't we do something before the tiebreaker film? 00:46:46 Speaker 3: Yeah, I usually do this. 00:46:47 Speaker 7: Tiebreaker. 00:46:49 Speaker 1: You know all about this show. 00:46:52 Speaker 6: This is probably my favorite episode. 00:46:53 Speaker 4: Of all time. 00:46:56 Speaker 2: Okay, big tiebreaker question in the category is mule deer because mule deer are cooler than whitetails. 00:47:01 Speaker 1: You guys ready? According to the most recent survey data available for Montana fish, parks, and wildlife, what is Montana's mule deer population? 00:47:13 Speaker 5: Fish, wildlife, and parks. 00:47:15 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, whatever. 00:47:16 Speaker 1: Same thing. 00:47:17 Speaker 6: Boy, that's a great question. 00:47:18 Speaker 1: Can I have like an order of magnitude? It's a big number. 00:47:25 Speaker 5: I'm hoping to make it one less here in a couple weeks. 00:47:29 Speaker 2: You and a lot of other people. A lot of other people already did make. 00:47:33 Speaker 5: It a little less. 00:47:34 Speaker 1: Hard to count them out west. 00:47:35 Speaker 2: It's a great time of year. Brewers won last night. Montana's rifle season is open. 00:47:43 Speaker 1: Good time to be alive. 00:47:45 Speaker 4: Brewers fan, huh, Brody? 00:47:46 Speaker 1: I was just happy to not see the Dodgers in there. 00:47:51 Speaker 3: That was great. 00:47:51 Speaker 2: Plus Mizorowski, that kid's a badass. And he's a big hunter and a fisherman. Mizorowski, if you're listening, we want to have you on the podcast. You can come play trivia with us, too. I think he was in the meat eater store in Milwaukee. 00:48:09 Speaker 4: I know some of those guys go there. He's also big into Pokemon, Phil. 00:48:13 Speaker 2: His fallback was being a wildlife biologist. 00:48:18 Speaker 1: Good for him. He can hurl it, man. 00:48:22 Speaker 2: Anyway, what's Montana's mule deer population? Most recent numbers. 00:48:27 Speaker 4: He's shaped like Gumby. I'll give you a hint. 00:48:31 Speaker 1: It's between one and a million. 00:48:33 Speaker 4: That's a hint. 00:48:37 Speaker 5: No clue. 00:48:40 Speaker 4: I remember back when there were more mule deer than people. Then y'all showed up. Sorry. How old are you? 00:48:50 Speaker 1: 38. Back in the old days. 00:48:53 Speaker 6: I know. That's right, Cora. I know how old you are. 00:48:56 Speaker 3: There was a time. 00:48:56 Speaker 7: There was a time. 00:48:58 Speaker 1: All right. You guys ready? You got answers? Let's flip them over. Phil, you're going to have to help. 00:49:02 Speaker 6: Oh, boy. 00:49:03 Speaker 1: Seth says 155,000. 00:49:03 Speaker 6: Sarah says 250,000. 00:49:04 Speaker 4: Randall says 250,000. 00:49:04 Speaker 6: Spencer says 220,000. I'm screwed. 00:49:05 Speaker 2: I did not write a second. thing. Reba... says $ 200, 000. 00:49:13 Speaker 1: Corey says $ 799, 999. Before we announce the number, why don't we say what the situation is and then have them guess again. Okay, that is an excellent idea. 00:49:40 Speaker 5: Best idea all day. 00:49:41 Speaker 1: Wow. You're pretty smart, man. 00:49:44 Speaker 5: I've heard a lot of these. 00:49:46 Speaker 2: Because I know I probably should have, but I just didn't. 00:49:50 Speaker 1: How many do you write for each show, Spencer? Three? 00:49:52 Speaker 6: Three. 00:49:54 Speaker 1: Just in case. Well, maybe. Let's look. 00:49:58 Speaker 3: Can I see all of your guys' boards again? 00:50:01 Speaker 1: Are we exactly? 00:50:02 Speaker 6: I find this inconceivable. 00:50:05 Speaker 5: Seth, what did you rate it? 155,000. No, okay. 00:50:08 Speaker 3: I'll just say it. Sarah and Randall... are the closest and they wrote the same number. 00:50:13 Speaker 1: They have the same number. They're both the closest. Sarah wasn't in overtime. So Randall won. She should have been. 00:50:22 Speaker 2: But she has an extra $ 100 or something, right, Spencer? 00:50:26 Speaker 4: Yeah, if you got it right on the nose, $ 200. 00:50:28 Speaker 1: Well, no, it's got to be on the nose. They just tied. 00:50:30 Speaker 4: It's not on the nose. 00:50:32 Speaker 1: I'm so confused. 00:50:33 Speaker 3: Brody, you gave me too much credit. 00:50:36 Speaker 5: It's really coming apart here. 00:50:37 Speaker 4: What's the answer? 00:50:38 Speaker 1: All right, Randall wins. The answer is 200. 00:50:41 Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I forgot Sarah wasn't in the game. 00:50:42 Speaker 8: I'm sorry, Sarah. 00:50:43 Speaker 1: The answer is 273,415 animals. Mild winters and good spring precipitation. 00:50:45 Speaker 3: Have brought numbers up from the all-time low of 248,500, which was just not that long ago. 00:50:47 Speaker 1: All-time low was what? 248,500. 00:51:07 Speaker 2: But the mule deer population is still 19% below the long-term average of 309,000 animals. In 2017, the historical peak was recorded at 386,000 animals. So they're coming back from some problems, but we still got some work to do. 00:51:26 Speaker 4: Last winter was a good start for them. 00:51:27 Speaker 8: Yep. 00:51:28 Speaker 4: Yep. 00:51:28 Speaker 1: All right. Congratulations, Randall. 00:51:31 Speaker 4: Way to go, Randall. You did it. 00:51:33 Speaker 5: Good job, Randall. 00:51:34 Speaker 9: I was flabbergasted that it could have been exactly between. 00:51:37 Speaker 6: $ 250, 000 and $ 150, 000. 00:51:37 Speaker 5: I just did that math in my head. 00:51:38 Speaker 6: $ 200, 000, $ 2, 000. He landed on that quickly. 00:51:39 Speaker 3: $ 500, 000. Let's give this to Muley Fanatics. 00:51:41 Speaker 5: There you go. 00:51:41 Speaker 4: Brandon with the mule deer question. 00:51:43 Speaker 6: I think that's a new one. 00:51:43 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:51:44 Speaker 6: Sounds good. 00:51:54 Speaker 1: All right, folks, join us next week for more meat eater trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins. 00:51:59 Speaker 4: Good batch of questions, Brody. Well, thanks. Thank you. 00:52:02 Speaker 6: Yeah, it started off great. 00:52:05 Speaker 1: Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host. 00:52:09 Speaker 6: Using those smooth, mellow tones. 00:52:10 Speaker 1: He lays them questions down. 00:52:12 Speaker 9: And he likes taking those two- and three-year-old bucks. 00:52:22 Speaker 1: And he's an avid amateur rock hound.
