Hunts On Outfitting Podcast
Trivia Night Challenge 5 ! Ken And The Crews Wild Test Of Knowledge, Test Your Skills!
What animals can you hunt during the hot summer months when many seasons are closed? Ken Marr and friends tackle this question through a lively summer trivia competition that reveals fascinating facts about year-round hunting opportunities.
Discover which state has the largest alligator population (hint: it's not Florida!), and learn about hook-and-line methods for catching these prehistoric predators. The team dives into wild hog populations across America, with Texas leading the pack at a staggering 3 million feral pigs. You might be surprised to learn that those "gophers" plaguing farmland are actually Richardson ground squirrels!
The conversation reveals little-known facts about coyote distribution across North America, exotic hunting opportunities like Argentina's legendary dove fields, and explores why the Giant Forest Hog—not the Russian boar—is the world's largest wild pig species. From the serious (wildlife management challenges) to the humorous (learning that a group of ravens is called a "conspiracy"), this episode provides both entertainment and education for hunters looking to extend their season.
Whether you're interested in predator control, pest management, or simply expanding your hunting knowledge beyond traditional big game seasons, this trivia-packed episode delivers insights that will change how you think about summer hunting opportunities. The competitive spirit between "Team Spectacles" and "Team Testicles" adds plenty of laughs along the way as they fight for podcast koozies and bragging rights.

On the podcast profile picture, if you're looking from left to right, it goes Ryan Wasilius, jacob Armstrong, your humble and trusted host, myself in the middle, ken Maher, caleb Jones next to me and Dalton Patterson on the far right.
Speaker 1:Okay, we are excited to have our first trivia in a long time. This is our fifth trivia and it won't be our last, but it is our first in two months. We were doing it once a month. Who's here and what are we playing for? I'm going to answer one and I'm going to let the other people sitting here answer the other. We are playing for koozies hunts on outfitting podcast. Koozies. I'm excited for one of you guys to win them. Okay, it's going to keep your drinks warm. No, that'd be crazy. If they're already warm, it'll keep them warm, but if they're cold, it's going to keep them cold. Okay, we're going to go around the room and say who you are, what you do for work, you know. So we get an idea about you and your favorite ice cream, because this is the summer edition podcast. I'm Ken Meyer. I'm a farming truck driver and podcaster and my favorite ice cream's peanut butter fudge crunch. Don't watch you.
Speaker 2:Oh man, I can't do the crunch part.
Speaker 1:I like it. I like the crunch. I don't think I'm nuts going ice cream, jacob Armstrong.
Speaker 2:What? I don't think that's going. Ice cream, jacob Armstrong. What did you say? What we do for work? Yeah, I'm a quality control inspector. I thought you were a welding inspector. Well, welding inspector. Yeah, it all goes together.
Speaker 1:Same thing Nuclear power plants, oil refineries. Quality goes in the welding inspection, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:QC doesn't have it. Quick and cheap, right, right. Favorite ice cream if it was still around it would be Scott's Burns Chocolate Orange.
Speaker 1:It's a holiday exclusive. All right, yeah, holiday is Christmas or Halloween Christmas. Okay, I was actually thinking Halloween, because orange.
Speaker 2:But Mood Mist ain't bad.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:Or Bubble Gum. That's a good one. Oh yeah, bubble Gum, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know what it is, but that blue dye just gets me, I know. But bubble gum. It's weird because you're eating it and you're like, oh, I got some bubble gum.
Speaker 2:Then you swallow it and afterwards your stomach just feels kind of off because you've been swallowing bubble gum.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's gum but it's not really gum. That's weird. All right, Ryan.
Speaker 4:Ryan Wasilius, dairy farmer, and favorite ice cream is peanut butter fudge.
Speaker 1:Crunch.
Speaker 4:He doesn't like the crunch.
Speaker 1:You don't have to crunch it. You can kind of just melt it with your tongue. I mean there's a little bit of a crunch to it. It's the chocolate in there and stuff that I like.
Speaker 3:I like the peanut butter. Yeah, me too. My name is Caleb Jones, I'm a carpenter and I'm a Heavenly Hash kind of guy. Oh, okay, I haven't heard that flavor in a while this is feeling summery, my name's Dalton Patterson and I work in dairy processing.
Speaker 5:I guess I make skim milk powder and such and I bag it as well.
Speaker 1:Firefighting.
Speaker 5:Firefighting. Yeah, A little bit of that on the side. My favorite ice cream is definitely Dinosaur Bones. I love it.
Speaker 4:Oh my God, it's good.
Speaker 1:Has anyone heard of that.
Speaker 2:Yes, when you were four, you ate it.
Speaker 5:When you were four. You definitely ate it.
Speaker 2:I know I said bubble gum, but the dinosaur bones.
Speaker 5:Chicken fingers and flies Me and my three-year-old share it.
Speaker 1:What's it taste? Like Dinosaur bones, baby it's just a whole lot of goodness.
Speaker 5:What color is it Like? Green and blue.
Speaker 1:It's really good Like neon green, a bit of natural, anything in there.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Are you looking it up?
Speaker 2:right now, trevor, I'm looking it up.
Speaker 1:Sorry, jacob's name is also Trevor. You're looking at the ingredients, turns out there's actually not even any milk in it products.
Speaker 2:Probably not Dinosaur products.
Speaker 1:What a rip off, yeah, so.
Speaker 5:I feel like I get judged pretty hard on that one yeah.
Speaker 1:There's a lot we're not saying actually.
Speaker 2:Go ahead.
Speaker 1:I am curious what this is.
Speaker 2:I don't even know what I want to say. Green colored ice cream with a cookies and cream flavor Sounds like something from Dr Seuss. The ice cream is thrilled with a blue marshmallow ribbon and chocolate chunks.
Speaker 1:I haven't heard of that and I'm pretty sure it's not even ice cream.
Speaker 5:It looks like Caleb's shirt without the pink flamingos.
Speaker 1:It's food coloring that's frozen. Okay, well, I haven't heard of that one and heavily hashed one way to bring that one back. It's different, but this is a hunting podcast. We're going to get into some hunting stuff. First things first. In New Brunswick, canada, here we just had the results come out, for you have to put in for your moose tag. It's a lottery system. You can win it. Dalton, you won your tag. Yeah, first moose tag, not the first time applying, but you skipped a couple years.
Speaker 5:Yeah, exactly so I'd applied, probably stopped applying two or three years ago and anyway, started applying again and applied like this year was the first time and got it. Yeah, that'll be, exciting A lot
Speaker 2:of work, a lot of fun. Yep, certainly I have a curiosity why did you stop applying?
Speaker 5:Because I didn't really have time to do it right.
Speaker 2:So I was like, well, I'm just really not going to bother, because I know like that puts you back down to the start on the ballots, exactly.
Speaker 4:yeah, that's what I needed.
Speaker 5:I guess that's yeah yeah, I told lane today.
Speaker 2:I said, uh, I said you know, all you need is just to not have a plan and I guess it'll all come together for you, because this was my first year with additional ballots. Yeah, this will be my sixth year applying without one, really, yeah, but so, but this year, kind of like, I wasn't. I didn't really. I'm working away right now and stuff, so I didn't really. If I got it, it would be a lot of work. So I applied for Al. That's why I applied for Albert County.
Speaker 1:Cause if after 18 years you automatically get it Uh.
Speaker 3:I think, yeah, people go like 20 years, 25 years without getting it.
Speaker 1:I thought they changed it so that within 18 to 20 you will get it basically.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe it's a long time, though I think the odds are super in your favor, but again, it's still a draw.
Speaker 3:Depends what zone you're applying for. That's a big thing too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the wildlife management zones? Yeah, because some areas have a lot more tags than others. Yeah, and then, dalton, you too also picked up what, today, your balls out of your wife's purse Just kidding.
Speaker 5:What did you get? I picked up a Labrador Retriever today at Choco Lab.
Speaker 1:And it's fully trained.
Speaker 5:It's fully trained For duck season.
Speaker 1:That's exciting for duck season, yeah good, that'll be a lot of fun yeah, yeah, super excited.
Speaker 5:She's a four year old chocolate lab chocolate lab willow pretty excited how was she coming home? Excellent, can't complain at all. We had her fully sedated made a peep yeah, yeah, that's right, we strapped her to the roof it was fun, strapped her to the roof. Yeah, came from where. Where did you get her? Nova Scotia, okay, kentville.
Speaker 1:What kennel Do you want to give a shout out? Are you embarrassed? Yeah Well, no, not at all. We'll see how this duck season goes, I guess.
Speaker 5:Not at all. I'm just going to get his kennel name pulled up here. I know his personal name, but South Rock Kennels is yeah so he's a big hunter and met him, talked to him on the phone, some, and anyway, real nice guy. So anyway, looking forward to it.
Speaker 1:And the guy feeds. Inuksuk dog food he's feeding. What blend?
Speaker 5:The Marine 16.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, so that's what he's been feeding her and that's what she's doing the best off of.
Speaker 5:Well, I haven't seen her on anything else, but she looks good.
Speaker 1:Because Inuksuk will keep your dog going. There's a reason why, uh, a lot of hunters and stuff used for working dogs Cause it works well and it keeps your dog going, cause you're the old Roy stuff or whatever you get at Walmart or something.
Speaker 5:It's not going to cut it Bunch of junk, yeah Well it.
Speaker 1:It's not junk. Well, yeah, all right, it's junk, it's kind of junky, but then Oak Shilk yeah.
Speaker 2:And Marine 16 is a fish-based food.
Speaker 3:I'm assuming yes it is yeah.
Speaker 1:What gave you that?
Speaker 5:idea, I believe there's a non-fish-based 26-16 too right, I feed the 26-16.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's non-fish-based. I think that's what we feed.
Speaker 5:I'm pretty sure, that's what we got. Yeah, that's what we've been. He's been feeding all of his dogs just blanket.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you just got to watch the labs where they're prone to rapid weight gain quickly, which is one of the breed characteristics. Yeah, but that'll be fun. That'll be very handy instead of searching around for ducks, because I can remember this picture in here of a great duck hunting night with Ryan, and you were there and Dalton, you spent some considerable time looking for some ducks.
Speaker 5:I did. Yeah, we spent some time roaming through tall grass and corn stubble.
Speaker 4:We found them all, though.
Speaker 5:No, it wasn't even stubble, it was standing. Oh yeah, it was standing. We found all the ducks, though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we did, but it it took a little time. So the dog's definitely going to, it's going to be very super pumped, super pumped. A lot of fun.
Speaker 5:Just a good, good, I guess, kind of hobby for me. I guess I've got a lot to learn with passion so well yeah, I mean teach you more than you know. Yeah exactly, and then the next one hopefully be a pop, and be able to work with them Good, I can't wait to see.
Speaker 1:It'll be fun. You owe me a couple dog hunts.
Speaker 5:I do, yeah, like a lot. I'll be hunting with coon hens and rabbits.
Speaker 1:No, it'll be fun. Two seasons probably. Any hunting that involves dogs working with it. Just this is the summer trivia, and Dalton already started off before asking dumb questions, apparently. What's the summer trivia?
Speaker 5:Does anybody else have anything going on in their lives before?
Speaker 1:we get any further. It's not a winter trivia. Well, I just know you. Cale, did you get your moose license?
Speaker 3:That would be a hard no.
Speaker 1:But your brother-in-law did, yeah, he got it, so we're going.
Speaker 3:I think.
Speaker 1:Okay, way to steer my own podcast, dalton. No, that's good, that's nice.
Speaker 4:Did you get yours Ryan. Nope, you get yours Jacob.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:What zone?
Speaker 4:did you apply for.
Speaker 2:What's that? What zone did you apply?
Speaker 4:for I didn't apply.
Speaker 1:I didn't apply either, because I'm going to Maine again.
Speaker 4:We're too busy that time of year.
Speaker 1:I'm tagging along bearhound hunting in September and I'm going to Alberta going along on a bighorn sheep hunt in September.
Speaker 2:Maybe I'm just too hung up on the ballot idea then. Why, I don't know. I just feel like that's why I apply, because Albert County has the fewest. Dalton got lucky. He got lucky. Well, yeah, for sure he cheated, he's a lucky guy. So Albert County has the fewest amount of tags given out. That's why I apply for it in years that I kind of am not prepared for it. Then if I ever wanted to jump to one of those two or three or six zones and apply, then then I've got 24 ballots ready to go into the draw.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Maybe I'm thinking of it the wrong way, though.
Speaker 3:Strategy. I like it. Not many people do that with that Big thinker yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a good strategy. I think it's like that in states. They call it like the lottery.
Speaker 3:Yeah, same idea. Oh it is, you win the lottery, Dalton why don't you tell us about your strategy? He knows somebody in GameMob.
Speaker 1:You can't win if you don't play the GameBoys, oh, okay, yeah, all right, that works, it works for you. And cheating no Turns out, you can hack into the DNR system.
Speaker 2:He's got the right last name, that's all.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, there's nothing else. I mean, there's stuff new. Today is the first month of training season for coon hunting and the dogs did tree one this morning, so that's good. Good morning, coon, because I was too tired to take them out last night. Work's always getting in the way. Yeah, so this is summer trivia edition. It's fairly different in the way. Yeah, so this is summer trivia edition. It's fairly different from the winter one in the fact that the questions maybe I haven't done trivia in a bit the questions might be a little rusty on it, but they are geared towards year-round hunting animals or animals that you're hunting in summer weather Hot weather, if you will, how most summers are. So who are the teams? So you guys already know what you're playing for the Hunts on Outfitting Podcast Koozies, who are the teams and what are their names? All right, so I came up with the names myself. So, team Spectacles We've got Dalton, because you have sunglasses on your head, and Caleb.
Speaker 3:Okay, because I have eyes. You nailed it. That's why you're on Team Spectacles.
Speaker 1:And Team Testicles is Ryan and Jacob. Okay, just call me Liver King. I was going to call you something else. No, but yeah, all right. So Team Spectacles versus Team Testicles.
Speaker 2:I'm Liver King. I'm Leverking. This is Chef.
Speaker 1:Lionel, that's exactly what I was thinking. So I'm going to ask the questions. All right, so I'm going to ask the questions. The other team, I will give it to them If the first team asked does not give it an answer to me in the time that I feel they should give it to me. Okay, since I'm running it, I just kind of make these rules up in my head. The questions, the answers, are all from Google. All right, so someone's listening to this like that's not true, I got. I got it from Google.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:So take it up with them. Um, you get a point for answering right, you do not lose a point for answering wrong. And uh, not lose a point for answering wrong, and it's going to be good. You guys might learn something. Okay, I learned something, all right. So Team Spectacles, dalton and Caleb. First question what state has the largest alligator population? Is it A Texas, b Florida, c Louisiana or D South Carolina? What state has the largest alligator population?
Speaker 3:I'm kind of thinking one of the Carolinas and South is on there, but that's just. I don't know.
Speaker 5:I feel like it's got to be Florida.
Speaker 1:I like. Why are you thinking that I don't know?
Speaker 5:Why am I thinking that? Well, florida, yeah, we can go with Florida. Okay, florida, I think, is just notoriously overpopulated with everything. And gators are one of them, I do believe. I hope I'm right on that, but we're going to go with B. Final answer.
Speaker 1:B. Final answer Florida Boys. We're not off to a good start. You're going with the wrong one and I get why you chose Florida because everyone thinks Alligator is Florida, right. I thought that you guys obviously thought that because that's the answer that you gave me and you're close. Okay, but that's not right. So we're going to team testicles. What state has the largest alligator population? A Texas. Largest alligator population? A Texas B, you know it's not Florida. C Louisiana or D South Carolina, and go ahead, discuss with your partner into your mic Personally.
Speaker 2:I think it's Louisiana I also think it's Louisiana.
Speaker 1:And why do you guys think that? From swamp people, swamp people.
Speaker 2:Jacob get the gun, Shoot him.
Speaker 3:Shoot him, Jacob.
Speaker 1:I like how they're speaking English but there's subtitles for the whole thing. It's like Coldwater Cowboys in Newfoundland, the Newfoundlanders in Newfoundland there, because that's where Newfoundlanders live. Yeah, I know what do you think, ryan, louisiana, oh yeah, louisiana, louisiana, boys, you guys are getting a mark on the board for having the wrong answer. No, you're right, you're right so. So Florida was a good guess, obviously. That's why I put it on here. It wasn't a bad one?
Speaker 1:No, because they are known for alligators. So Louisiana has the most Over 2 million alligators. Florida is the second With about 1.3 million, followed by Texas with 4 to 500,000. And did you know that alligators Typically have about 80 teeth In their mouth at any given time? Imagine having that Dentist bill right.
Speaker 2:Is there any gators in South Carolina, did you?
Speaker 3:know that alligators typically have about 80 teeth in their mouth at any given time.
Speaker 4:Imagine having that Dentist Bill right. Is there any gators in South?
Speaker 1:Carolina. Yep, yes, yeah, there is. Do you have a question on what state gators are in? No, I don't.
Speaker 4:But do you want to talk to me about it? I think you can hunt them in nine states.
Speaker 1:A random fact for a dairy farmer from New Brunswick, but I for a dairy farmer from New Brunswick, but I like it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, north Carolina, south Carolina, georgia, florida, alabama, mississippi, arkansas and Texas, and you can get permits in Oklahoma for them.
Speaker 1:Did you say Tennessee? I thought Tennessee had. I thought there was some in the Southern part for sure.
Speaker 3:Okay, you can't hunt them there.
Speaker 4:That was well rehearsed, yeah, well rehearsed I heard that on a podcast the other day what one wasn't this one. No, I don't think it was this one, uh, okay, no it's good to go with the question.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what, what podcast?
Speaker 4:I can't even remember what I was listening to now.
Speaker 1:It just kind of popped up, was it a hunting one?
Speaker 4:I would hope you can't remember who you're listening to, but you remembered that yeah, yeah, because it stuck out, because I was like oh ken's doing, uh, hunting trivia soon.
Speaker 1:On gators that you did not know about. No, okay, that's pretty good, that's interesting. But yeah, florida, I know I always thought Florida had the most. But Louisiana, yeah, I got a pile of gators, all right. So, team testicles, you guys got that one right. But you guys are up for the next question what is the most common method of hunting alligators? Is it A hook and line, b bow and arrow, c firearm or D gig and snare Go?
Speaker 2:ahead discuss it.
Speaker 1:Okay, it is, and I'm sorry I gave that one to you.
Speaker 2:Because I think swamp people they're always doing hook and line in that. That's kind of what I was thinking, whether it's on a branch or a jug line or something, but then I also see a lot of people hooking them with fishing rods, but I didn't hear that as an option.
Speaker 1:It's like a treble hook thing.
Speaker 2:You throw out and snag them. And what was the rifle? I don't think it's fire. It's definitely not bow and arrow. What do? Definitely not bow and arrow, definitely not bow and arrow. And if they catch it on hook and line and then shoot it at the boat, is that with a fire? Harvest it with the fire.
Speaker 5:No, that was harvesting with the hook and line.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I don't know, ryan, I think hook and line I'm set on that too, because that's what I've seen.
Speaker 1:I think we'll go hook and line. You guys going with hook and line is the most common method. That's where you guys get the answer right. Uh, it involves securing a sturdy hook and line to a tree or pole in the ground. The hook is baited, the gator grabs it and bam caught. So yeah, just like you see off swamp people, uh, but in South Carolina an alligator must be captured before killed with either a gun or a bang stick. You guys ever seen those bang sticks?
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:They just what did it?
Speaker 2:just touch it to the minute it goes off right yeah, it's the primer, and just boom right there.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's the same thing, yeah.
Speaker 1:But does anyone know what caliber of gun it's? It's a no it is kind of a caliber sort of.
Speaker 2:I think you can get them in different ones.
Speaker 1:Maybe. I figured it would be a generic one Maybe, I don't know. It would be kind of cool Gator hunting. We talked about this last night, jacob, it tastes good. When you describe it to somebody, it's weird. I've had it a few times and I would describe it as swampy chicken, which sounds terrible. But it's really good.
Speaker 2:It's a white meat. I've never had gator, but I've had frog's legs lots and it's like the slightest bit. Fishy chicken is what it's like.
Speaker 4:Fishy chicken it's like the slightest bit.
Speaker 2:I mean, you can eat anything deep fried, but the slightest bit. It's like this isn't a feathered chicken, but it's some sort of earth chicken.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've never tried frog's legs, I would. Would you try them Matt?
Speaker 2:No, first time I tried them was at a party in high school that we didn't bring any food to. So about 2 am we were spearing them and you can cut the. They cut off real easy. At the back I learned how to clean a frog that night too.
Speaker 1:Did you get the idea off swamp people?
Speaker 2:Fireball gave me that idea. Okay, you can cut them off right in front of the back legs and their skin peels real easy, like a rabbit almost. You just peel it right off. And we just cooked them over the fire like that. It was good, yeah, but I also have them deep fried or in cream sauce.
Speaker 4:Would they look like a chicken wing?
Speaker 2:That first little like their thigh I guess looks a lot like a flat, like the two bone chicken wing.
Speaker 1:Well, I was surprised that time you cooked up squirrel for us. That tasted like chicken wings. That really did yeah.
Speaker 2:I can't wait to get a bigger one, a gray one as opposed to the thigh there's some back here and the back here.
Speaker 1:They're so freaking fat they bow the power lines and they run across it. You see the, the trees, just like Shake yeah.
Speaker 5:I've got them on my lawn too.
Speaker 1:They're huge, looks like raccoons.
Speaker 5:I would love to eat, to try a squirrel.
Speaker 1:The one that, jake. They eat all good stuff.
Speaker 2:They did red squirrel, it's like they're all eating Nuts and seeds, like the ones Kind of like Caleb, no. But uh, the insulation and garbage can lids. But the ones out in the woods, man, you gotta think, all these nuts and seeds, a few bugs probably.
Speaker 1:We've got acorns here, so I think they're probably gorging on acorns.
Speaker 3:The insulation ones, I think you were the one that likes nuts in your ice cream, right, ken? Ken likes crunch, oh so.
Speaker 2:Ryan, you're just there for the peanut butter, right yeah?
Speaker 5:That's what they all say.
Speaker 1:Just here? That's what they all say. I'm just here for the cold taste. So Good sidebar Team Spectacles. What state has the most game animals To hunt year round? Is it A Montana, b Texas, c New Mexico or D Nebraska?
Speaker 3:Are these native species?
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, so I knew you were going to ask that. Yeah, no, that's a good question. So, yes, it is. It's not exotics. We're not counting exotics. Oh, we're not. No, we're not counting exotics. That's a good question. Yeah, so what state has the most game animals to hunt you around?
Speaker 5:And this is off Google most game animals to hunt you around. And this is off Google.
Speaker 1:Okay, give me the list again, all I heard was Texas, but now I'm not sure I know, because you guys are thinking the exotics, right? Because Texas, basically you can do an African safari in Texas. You can do whatever the hell you want. I think I know it is cool. I'd like to go there A Montana, b Texas, c New Mexico or E Nebraska.
Speaker 5:I'm half thinking New Mexico, Because I think he's trying to trick us and I think that was where he was trying to trick us.
Speaker 3:What do you think?
Speaker 5:Yeah, I think he's hoping we're going to pick.
Speaker 3:Montana no, he was hoping.
Speaker 5:Montana would be a good one too though, because it's on the border.
Speaker 3:There's a lot in Montana.
Speaker 1:Year-round.
Speaker 3:I agree with New Mexico.
Speaker 1:Okay. So I was thinking yeah, your school thought is, hunting animals year-round would normally be a warmer climate. You're thinking right, so you guys are going with New Mexico. Okay, wrong it is. It's good, I like your guys' school thought, I do so. Team testicles. What state has the most game animals to hunt year-round? Texas, montana, texas, new Mexico or Nebraska?
Speaker 2:So we know it's not New Mexico.
Speaker 4:And I think and it's year-round, year-round hunting opportunities- but we're not counting yeah, year-round.
Speaker 1:We're not counting exotics.
Speaker 2:We're not counting exotics. So I think to texas, I think it has to be texas but what in in like?
Speaker 4:if you take montana, you're very limited to what you can hunt in the summertime.
Speaker 2:I don't think I don't think it's montana, because they're all going to be fall type hunts, but for some reason nebraska. For some reason, I think, guys don't guys hunt pronghorn in like late summer. It seems like you can get.
Speaker 4:There's a lot of small varmint type animals that you can hunt Texas year round.
Speaker 2:In Nebraska too, they got the gophers or the groundhogs and the prairie dogs. I don't know, but Texas too, because I think, like Nebraska, is going to have alligators. It's not going to have anything that's going to live by the ocean like that.
Speaker 1:Nebraska does not have alligators. No, I didn't think, so I'm going to give you that one.
Speaker 3:They might have prairie dogs with no gators. I don't know. Ryan, Texas, I think.
Speaker 1:I'm confident on.
Speaker 2:Texas. We'll go Texas then.
Speaker 1:Okay, you guys are going with 3-1. You guys, I know you Seriously.
Speaker 5:I thought you were trying to trigger us to Texas.
Speaker 1:I know because of the exotic thing, because I know, because of the exotic thing, right, because I said there's no exotic.
Speaker 2:Well, honestly, if it was, up to me too, like New Mexico would have been my pick.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's, because it's hot.
Speaker 5:Hot Because I thought pronghorn, that's pronghorns and shit yeah, but what's the other one they got?
Speaker 2:They hunt on the White Sands Missile Range down there.
Speaker 1:I don't know, what you mean.
Speaker 3:It's not Audad though.
Speaker 2:It was something else, neil Guy, neil Guy yeah, that's it, neil Guy.
Speaker 1:That's an exotic. That's considered an exotic. It's Neil Guy. Antelope, they're big.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm going to do a podcast sometime with somebody talking about that. So, neil, guy, are on this White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, which is like an old it's military base. They're an they're an antelope. They're an antelope, but they're like pheasants. Here they become naturalized kind of out in the so there's a wild population and they're not a bird and they're not a bird.
Speaker 5:Yeah, but they're kind of like a pheasant yeah, kind of like a pheasant.
Speaker 2:How pheasants are from china, right, but they've kind of been introduced here. You don't have a. You didn't know that ringneck pheasant is a asian bird.
Speaker 1:I know what we should get rid of.
Speaker 2:They're so good they're listening to us, but the nail guy there's like a draw same as our moose draw for this White Sands Missile Range to get a tag and it's kind of crazy. There's certain areas you can't go because there's live unexploded ordnance.
Speaker 1:I think you can only get like you can't go or you shouldn't go.
Speaker 4:You can't go, imagine watching one of them in your scope, getting ready to squeeze the trigger and all of a sudden they just blow up.
Speaker 2:It bends down to pick up this blade of grass, because I've watched a little bit of stuff on it and you've got to do a pre-job brief with the military every morning.
Speaker 1:I'd like to go on a Neil Guy hunt.
Speaker 5:I've heard some podcasts, but I haven't seen some pictures.
Speaker 1:I think it would be gnarly rough. It's so hot and there's all these thorns and stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, same as the Ibex is another one super similar to that. That's like one of the most coveted tags in America. To pull a New Mexico Ibex tag.
Speaker 1:Are they there? I thought they were up more in mountains than other areas.
Speaker 2:I thought New Mexico and those kind of arroyos or whatever out in the desert.
Speaker 1:Look it up quick, I'm going to look it up.
Speaker 4:Do we get the next question? We do. You guys do you guys just get?
Speaker 5:them all. I think, what do?
Speaker 1:you guys just win and just screw this game. You guys still have a chance. Don't You've been on the winning side of this, caleb? Have you? You've won? Weren't you partners with Scott?
Speaker 3:Yep Scott won. I was with him.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, that's surprising. You got no service, jacob.
Speaker 2:I got one bar. It's working.
Speaker 1:Hey, tell a quick story, I'll look it up.
Speaker 2:But going back to hunting opportunities year-round, I want to say that Ibex hunt is like late August, early.
Speaker 1:September. So Ibex are wild goats found in mountainous regions of Europe, asia and northeastern Africa. Oh, it's like Kyrgyzstan, I'm not saying they're not in Texas, but this is.
Speaker 2:That's where they're from, but it's the same as the pheasants. They brought some famous Anil guy. Same as Anil guy.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, okay, yeah, you're right. The ibex have been introduced to ranches in the United States, canada and Argentina.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, yeah, definitely an exotic, but land down in the states I think it's new mexico.
Speaker 1:They're on public land that'd be kind of neat. You seen the horns on me.
Speaker 2:I just it was fascinating to watch the documentary on it, but it was. I want to say there's a population there, but they only give it, I want to say, like less than 10 tags a year oh really yeah, that's why it's super coveted but texas does a lot of cool stuff like. That's almost like the mb moose draw yeah, yeah super coveted, super coveted, yeah we gotta think too how much money the province makes off the Moose Draw.
Speaker 3:Because it costs you what to apply $9.50?.
Speaker 4:Basically $10 to apply.
Speaker 2:And I don't know about this year or last year, but the year before there was, I think, 64,000-ish people apply, so that's $650,000 or $640,000. And then there's, on average, what 4,500-ish tags given out for the whole province.
Speaker 1:Yeah, give or take.
Speaker 2:Give or take and they're $100 to buy your tag, or $90?.
Speaker 1:Plus your second gun.
Speaker 2:Let's say $100 for even numbers.
Speaker 1:Plus $80 for your second gun. Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:So then you give up 4,500 tags at $100. There's $450,000, right, it's a million-dollar industry for the province of New Brunswick, just off the licensing and the application yeah.
Speaker 1:Plus, you're paying butchers and stuff which is good to get back to them yeah.
Speaker 2:It injects into the economy, because you got to think some of those zones up north too, Guide services. Guide services, hotels, gas stations, gas stations restaurants, gas stations, restaurants, everything, grocery stores.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, oh, it's good for them.
Speaker 2:If you're in zone 3 it's like RV service centers.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's like Camper van cities up there, that's cool Year round. No, just during move season.
Speaker 1:So this one I got from Google. So Texas Non-game animals include, but are not limited to the following Armadillos, bobcats, coyotes, but are not limited to the following Armadillos, bobcats, coyotes, flying squirrels, frogs, ground squirrels, mountain lions, porcupines, prairie dogs, rabbits and turtles. There's no season on these animals. That's what it said, yeah.
Speaker 4:Oh, they're year-round.
Speaker 1:That's what it said, yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, so a 360.
Speaker 1:The most game animals year-round was the question. You guys got it said Okay, so a 360. The most game animals year-round was the question. Oh, you guys got it right.
Speaker 2:Now I understand it better.
Speaker 4:So if you were going to say you guys should be upset, what?
Speaker 3:animals.
Speaker 2:You can hunt groundhog crows and coyotes year-round in New Brunswick. Cormans are only there in the open waterfowl season. Right Everything else hasunswick and New Brunswick Corvettes are only there in the open waterfowl season.
Speaker 1:Right, everything else has a season.
Speaker 3:So we get nothing on Texas, so in Texas that's what he was saying there's no season on these.
Speaker 1:Hey, you guys got it right. Only you guys are owing about Okay, so team Spectacles. Actually, I think it to you guys this one's a little tougher. So, while often referred to as gophers, the correct name is actually what. The acronym is RGS. So these are often referred to as gophers, but the correct name is what. You're asking for the scientific name, I'm asking for the acronym of what RGS stands for. Do you have the scientific name? Because I will give you four points for it.
Speaker 3:I can Google it.
Speaker 1:Nah, you cannot.
Speaker 2:Groundhoggius Superficius.
Speaker 1:So RGS, rgs, and I'm going to say it and you guys will be like oh yeah, I've heard that before.
Speaker 4:Romeo Golf. Oh, you're not giving us eight. Oh, there's no multiple choice.
Speaker 1:There's no multiple choice, so this is the name. So people call them gophers, but apparently this is the actual name. Oh, I'm lost on this one. They wreak havoc on a lot of yeah well, yeah cattle. Their range is in the western provinces across Canada and the USA.
Speaker 4:Gee to me, is it like the prairie dogs, or whatever?
Speaker 2:Yeah, prairie. And the G to me sounds like Groundhog with a G. That's the only.
Speaker 1:So that R. Okay, I'll give you a hint the R is a person's name.
Speaker 4:Reg.
Speaker 1:Not far off. I think Roosevelt is one, just Roosevelt Reg, not far off.
Speaker 2:I think Roosevelt is one, just Roosevelt L.
Speaker 1:Okay, no, but it was.
Speaker 4:What was the three letters again?
Speaker 1:R G.
Speaker 4:S? I'm guessing G stands for ground and R?
Speaker 1:you said what I'll give you that G does stand for ground. Yep, wow, we're doing good. We're doing good, are you just?
Speaker 5:giving it to him. Oh yeah, oh yeah. What's the S stand for? Get rid of delete.
Speaker 2:Just let him slide. What did you say for the name Ryan? You said Reginald.
Speaker 1:I said Reg, reg, no, I'll give you guys that Everyone calls these gophers. I thought they were gophers, but apparently this is the actual name for them Reginald's ground squirrel.
Speaker 2:Final answer.
Speaker 4:No, I think we can do better.
Speaker 1:I wish they were called.
Speaker 4:Reginalds, what's the possible for the S Ground something?
Speaker 2:Because I think, yeah, grounds oh.
Speaker 1:No, no whispering. No secrets on here. What do you think? Come on, show your work out loud. No whispering, no secrets on here. What do?
Speaker 4:you think Show your work out loud. Ground sloth Like.
Speaker 1:Ryan's ground sluts. That's how Ryan pays for the firm.
Speaker 4:Sloth Sloths. You guys can pass. No, you might as well take a stab at it.
Speaker 1:Okay, it's not Reginalds.
Speaker 2:But you said Reg, and that was Reggie.
Speaker 4:No.
Speaker 2:We're just going to keep saying things off of our heads, roger, no, randy.
Speaker 1:Robert, no Romeo, all right, you guys got to come up with something. So the G does stand for ground. Ground R-G-S.
Speaker 2:Royal Royal.
Speaker 4:Royal ground squirrel. You said it was a name which is throwing me right off.
Speaker 1:It's a name. Maybe you can think of it as a last name.
Speaker 4:What about Regina?
Speaker 2:Rupert, rupert's ground squirrel.
Speaker 1:Final answer I'm gonna let team Spectacles take it over. I don't know. You guys did some good work.
Speaker 4:They can keep going at it if they want.
Speaker 2:Rupert's ground squirrel. Rupert's ground squirrel. If that's a guess, then come back to us.
Speaker 1:It's not Rupert's ground squirrel.
Speaker 3:I'm thinking you said last name. I'm kind of thinking Ronald For the name. He's kind of thinking Ronald for the name, he's kind of thinking. Mcdonald Ronald.
Speaker 1:That's a first name.
Speaker 3:I know, but he said for the name for the R, you're thinking last name and Ronald McDonald. That's his first name. I'm just going off your hints here.
Speaker 5:As soon as you say it. I know I've definitely heard it. You guys have probably heard it, I cannot remember.
Speaker 1:Close.
Speaker 5:These guys were close. What's close?
Speaker 2:Ground.
Speaker 4:Yeah, okay, we knew that.
Speaker 1:I'll give you another hint, because it's tough. So S is squirrel, ground squirrel. Holy shit yeah.
Speaker 4:You were right.
Speaker 1:You kept saying that just screwing around. I was like you're right, yeah.
Speaker 4:We just missed the name.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so the G is ground, the S is squirrel, so RGS something ground squirrel, but everyone calls them gophers.
Speaker 5:No, it's the last name.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it's the last name. What do you mean? You think it's?
Speaker 5:the last name.
Speaker 1:It sounds like a last name to me.
Speaker 5:See, I was going to say like red ground squirrel.
Speaker 1:No, no, it's not a color, it's like someone's last name. You guys want me to just say it.
Speaker 5:Got to be like rain. They got to get a guess.
Speaker 4:They got to get a guess, and then we'll take a guess again. It's a tougher one.
Speaker 1:I'm going to say it and you guys will probably have heard it before. Yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 5:Randy's ground squirrel, I would have to think.
Speaker 1:That is so cool if that was the right answer, but Randy does not have a ground squirrel, to my knowledge.
Speaker 4:Okay, we're going back to Team Testicles. Can we get a hint on the second letter of the letter?
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, Just give it to him.
Speaker 5:Or the last letter. Why don't you just tell us what it is and be done with it? Yeah, just tell us what it is, all right.
Speaker 1:So it's the Richardson ground squirrels. Richardson, they're unregulated pests that can mostly be hunted any time they do hibernate and they're the most active in the summer, and then their main range is in the western provinces across Canada and the USA. So I thought gophers, but yeah, it's the Richardson ground squirrel, and they do cause a lot of havoc.
Speaker 3:We did get ground squirrel that was pretty good, you guys got ground squirrel.
Speaker 1:Yep, that's good. Okay, so team spectacles. Where is considered the best dove hunting in the world? Is it A Texas, b Argentina, c, colombia or D New Mexico? What is considered the best dove hunting in the world?
Speaker 5:I think it's Argentina.
Speaker 3:I don't know, I don't hunt doves?
Speaker 5:I don't either.
Speaker 1:Okay, but what's considered if you had to guess, caleb?
Speaker 3:Well, we've already said Texas in one answer, so surely to goodness we wouldn't pick the same state twice. Yeah sure.
Speaker 5:Well, with that logic, I don't know how we couldn't go with Argentina. Okay, so you're going Argentina?
Speaker 1:Okay, so you guys are on the board.
Speaker 5:Yeah, give me high fives Nice.
Speaker 1:So Argentina is widely considered to have the best dove hunting in the world, particularly in the Cordoba region.
Speaker 5:Yeah, there's a shotgun in the Cordoba, benelli Cordoba. Yeah, honestly yes, there is.
Speaker 1:Benelli Cordoba. Is it named after that?
Speaker 2:I'm guessing.
Speaker 1:I'm assuming Okay, I didn't know that, that's very cool C-O-R-D-O-B-A yeah. Yeah, that's it. So based out of Argentina, argentina is considered some of the best wing shooting in the world, regardless.
Speaker 2:I know you get some crazy ducks down there, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:So there's no season, there's no bag limits on the doves and there's estimated to be about 50 million there, wow, so very cool.
Speaker 2:How many points you got with your aeroplane. We can maybe go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it would be fun.
Speaker 4:I don't think I have enough air miles.
Speaker 1:I've heard of a lot of Hunts on Outfitting's going to sponsor us. Hunts on Outfitting's going to need another sponsor.
Speaker 2:We're taking our talents to.
Speaker 1:South Beach. So really, Benelli makes a Benelli Cordova.
Speaker 4:I'm still thinking of ice cream.
Speaker 2:I think it's a fairly high-end gun too. Oh yeah, anything named after dove hunting is definitely For a consumer grade shotgun, I think it's fairly.
Speaker 1:Is that where the Benelli get their owl gun from? Was it after no?
Speaker 3:Benelli Eagle.
Speaker 1:The Benelli Eagle, the Super Black Eagle.
Speaker 5:Okay, it's out of What'd you say?
Speaker 4:I'm reading the Benelli Super Black Eagle. For what Eagle?
Speaker 5:hunting, oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Followed by the Benelli Owl Vanelli Super Black Eagle. For what? Eagle hunting oh?
Speaker 5:yeah, has nothing to do with America. So the Ethos Cordoba is like basically a really fancy Super Black Eagle.
Speaker 2:Is it carbon fiber?
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's black and carbon fiber. It's fancy, it's nice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, cool, that's cool, it's named after there.
Speaker 1:Cool, it's like a nice. That's cool, it's named after there. So we are on to team testicles. A group of crows is called a what?
Speaker 3:It's a murder.
Speaker 2:I know it's a murder of ravens.
Speaker 1:Oh nice, crows and ravens are two different species. Some people don't know that. Maybe it is. No, I think you're right.
Speaker 2:To two different species, some people don't know that, maybe it is a no, I think you're right. I think it is a murder of crows Ryan.
Speaker 4:Now that I'm saying it out loud, I wouldn't know where else to go with that one. I think we'll say crows. No, we're going to say murder. Oh, you guys are right. If there was money on the line, I would have.
Speaker 5:I would have had that one in a heartbeat.
Speaker 1:Okay, so a group of crows is called a murder. They should be managed and wreak havoc on many other birds' nests that they eat their eggs of, turkey and waterfowl, etc. So if you're a turkey waterfowl hunter, it's a good idea to try to manage your local crow population.
Speaker 5:Fun fact in the prairie pothole region I just watched a thing the other day there's water. The pheasants have been known to use empty duck nests.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 5:When they're done with them. Yeah, because it's just easier to make them one right, like in a spot where, like in Marysha Ground, where they both exist.
Speaker 2:All right, that's good. I don't know if there's any truth to this, but Google is saying a group of ravens is considered a conspiracy, an unkindness or simply a flock.
Speaker 5:Really, Is that something different?
Speaker 2:It's just saying a group of ravens can be referred to as a conspiracy, an unkindness or simply as a flock. Really, as Ken would say, that's what Google told me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Okay and we go with that too. We go with it, okay, whatever Google tells us, because there is multiple uh sources, okay, um, so who am I on?
Speaker 1:us okay spectacles, team spectacles. Okay, texas comes up a lot in here. It's because, though it's it's hot there, they have so much stuff to hunt, so but I did not have texas in here as an option. But but Texas is in the question. So, after Texas, which state has the highest number of wild hogs? Is it A Georgia, b Louisiana, c Alabama or D Oklahoma? Which state has the highest number of wild hogs? I took Texas out because I knew you guys would guess that one right off.
Speaker 5:Boys, oh boys, it's testicles or is it spectacles?
Speaker 1:It's spectacles.
Speaker 4:Yeah, because we just got murder of crows Good job.
Speaker 5:Okay, review the states again.
Speaker 1:Okay, so highest number of wild hogs after Texas, georgia, louisiana, alabama, alabama or Oklahoma, caleb want to help your partner Talk it through guys.
Speaker 3:So it's not Texas because it's not on there, just said that, after Texas, this will be the second highest. I'm kind of thinking Oklahoma or something.
Speaker 1:Because it's next to Texas. Texas, yeah, is that what you're thinking?
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, it would make sense, wouldn't it?
Speaker 1:I'm asking you.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, I'm asking my partner. I don't know.
Speaker 5:Your guess is as good as mine. We can go with that. You're going with Oklahoma, yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, no, that's good, that's good thinking, caleb, and unfortunately you're thinking got it wrong. No, it's right. It of Texas, yeah, yeah. So Oklahoma estimated to have about 1.5 million, followed by Louisiana at about 750,000. I guess Texas has about 3 million.
Speaker 5:That's nuts.
Speaker 1:I couldn't imagine trying to farm there. How do you farm? You think we have a nice hay field.
Speaker 2:There's not much for hay in Texas, is there?
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2:So not everyone's running the scrub. No, no, texas is so big. No, they have good airwaters there, okay.
Speaker 1:No, no, they do a lot. But you just imagine what you see around here, what domestic pigs can do. Imagine you have a nice hay field or soybean corn, whatever, and a group of wild hogs goes through. I couldn't imagine it would be brutal.
Speaker 2:And I think other warm ground crops like I know down don't they grow a lot of peanuts and stuff down in those states.
Speaker 1:Florida, I believe, georgia, georgia, pecans in Georgia and stuff, but so there are. Just by Google there are 12 states. You can hunt them year round. Canada is also getting them here. Canada. There's hogs in Alberta, saskatchaskatchewan, I think, manitoba and ontario. There's no uh bag limit on them, no seasons. You shoot on scene, yeah and uh.
Speaker 2:So I've looked into the ontario population a little bit. They're also what they're calling wild pigs. They have a map too of all the sightings, whatever. So what they call a wild pig could be either be a wild hog. A pig that has escaped from somebody's farm is now wild, and there there was a couple other different ones. Something that's escaped from like a slaughterhouse, let's say or something that's been escaped, then reproduced in the wild.
Speaker 1:Well, it's amazing, they said. Pigs are like one of the quickest animals to adapt from being domestic to wild. They said their snout will get longer. It will get, it'll get longer and they'll grow hair on them quickly. Okay, they can adapt unbelievably quickly and well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I want to say there's been like over, I think, when I read an article from a couple of years ago and there was like over 750 hog sightings in Ontario. Really, I don't know what period of time that was over.
Speaker 1:Well, there's wild boar farms in Ontario. You can legally buy and have wild boar farms. So you think all it would take?
Speaker 2:is a tree to fall on the fence. I think there's an elk farm close to where I'm working at up there. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, probably, I think so they're fun to hunt, but I couldn't imagine trying to farm with having them in the area. It would be brutal, I brutal. I mean you can only put up so much fence.
Speaker 2:Now, Caleb, did you know the answer for that one, or did you read the look on my face when you read Oklahoma?
Speaker 3:I wasn't looking at you, no.
Speaker 2:You knew it was Oklahoma too. I've had a feeling when he said Oklahoma's the fourth answer. I had to bite my tongue.
Speaker 1:Because it's near.
Speaker 2:Texas.
Speaker 4:Same as the current thing I own.
Speaker 2:I just knew Oklahoma's just north of Texas. I think Louisiana's swampier more, but I know Oklahoma being plains and all that and you see a lot of guys Florida's got a lot too.
Speaker 1:I went there hunting hogs and there's no shortage of them there, they said. I think more are killed by car than anything else. They don't have any predators. Really Not much is going to tangle with them If they're crossing a swamp or something a gator might grab them.
Speaker 2:It's like a moose in Newfoundland.
Speaker 1:It's got no predator. Yeah, exactly. So what are we on? Team Testicles? Just think, when I put the write-up on, when the podcast comes out, it's probably going to say both these names. What is the largest wild pig species in the world? Is it A the Russian wild boar? And some of these might be made up, some of these might not be. Is it A the Russian wild boar? B the giant forest hog, or Okay, at least make an effort, at least make an effort.
Speaker 1:I'm on the other team here. African bush pig. Oh, come on. What is the largest wild pig species in the world? This is according to Google. Is it A the Russian wild boar, b the giant forest hog or C African bush pig? I said these might be made up. They might not be. These could be 100% real.
Speaker 2:I'm thinking bush pig is made up and I think African is a trick. When I hear African Bush Pig I think a little Charlotte's Web looking.
Speaker 4:What did you say? That was again yeah.
Speaker 2:African Bush Pig. I think African Bush Pig. I think some little thing that's running scared, but I think a Russian or Siberian.
Speaker 4:What was the name of the Russian one? Again, russian Wild Boar.
Speaker 1:You see the videos of the Russian one again Russian wild boar. You see the videos of those guys, See a boar sounds strong.
Speaker 2:And then you see the Russian guys. They're all shouting and Russian or whatever, with their single-shot rifles and they're missing them, but the hogs are standing chest-tight to these things. I think it's.
Speaker 1:African bush pig. That sounds like an insult. You called somebody Screw you African bush pig. I don't know.
Speaker 3:I just think African bush pig is that's something that takes it HR. Yeah.
Speaker 2:That just sounds like a little suckling or something that's ready to, just ready to go to pasture.
Speaker 3:Well.
Speaker 2:Ready to come like I don't know. I think Russian boar, yeah, but have you ever seen them like?
Speaker 4:when they're going out like lions and stuff like that, hogs or whatever they have there.
Speaker 2:Isn't that a warthog, though that's in Africa.
Speaker 1:Warthogs are pretty feisty too.
Speaker 2:I think Russian boar. You know what I'm good with that. We're going to go Russian boar.
Speaker 1:You guys going with the wrong one, so you guys have an option here. So what is the largest wild pig species in the world? This we got from Google. So is it not the Russian wild boar? So it's between the giant forest hog and the African bush pig, and I'm smiling at you.
Speaker 5:I can't even take myself for you seriously when you say giant forest hog Caleb. What do you think?
Speaker 3:I think they're all made up, okay.
Speaker 5:No, they aren't. So that means we have to go see right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, let's go see, just because we'll be on the opposite pole.
Speaker 1:That's wrong. So the giant forest hog no, stop it right now Is also an insult. I called somebody. Somebody cut me off in traffic. They're like you, giant forest hog? No, I'm just kidding you, giant forest hog? No, I'm just kidding. That's actually the correct answer. None of these were made up. The Russian wild boar is real. The African bush pig is real. They're really funny looking ugly things.
Speaker 2:Are they?
Speaker 1:small. They're medium sized.
Speaker 3:They're not real small, were they on a cartoon.
Speaker 1:They might have been.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I've really done that much research into them, caleb, but the giant forest hog is considered the largest breed of any pig, with huge tusks and weight of around 600 pounds. They can be very elusive in the jungles of Africa, and I know what you're thinking they're freaky looking.
Speaker 4:So they are a giant forest hog.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I call my sister. Sometimes no, but um.
Speaker 2:And I think too. When I think forest, I don't really think Africa. You said they're a jungle, but that's oh okay.
Speaker 1:You look them up, they're freaky looking, so you're thinking 600 pounds, isn't that big?
Speaker 4:Africa has some fairly forested areas.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what's it? The French Guiana of Africa? It's all jungle, mm-hmm. You see them, dalton.
Speaker 5:They're freaky looking, aren and they've got enormous tusks on them.
Speaker 1:So you're thinking 600 pounds isn't that big, but that's like their average weight.
Speaker 5:I didn't say that. I never said that.
Speaker 1:No, but I know what you're thinking no, you don't. So for a wild pig, that's big, that's really big.
Speaker 4:Look underneath their eyes.
Speaker 1:They're freaky looking and apparently they look like they're always tired.
Speaker 5:I pictured Jim Shockey, Not Lane Lewis. Jim Shockey With one.
Speaker 2:Here's an article right here. The giant forest hog, unknown to most, is the largest species of wild pig.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure I just said something about that.
Speaker 5:I feel, like there was a question earlier. I can't believe we just got that wrong.
Speaker 2:I was more focused on the unknown to most.
Speaker 1:I told you guys it could be made up because I was like giant forest hog. You guys are like oh yeah, it's made out.
Speaker 4:I think I threw everyone off when I laughed.
Speaker 1:as soon as he said giant forest hog, he was smiling too, it's because I did call somebody that in traffic the other week, but it's a real animal. No, they're freaky looking and they're big and they're considered quite a trophy to hunters, but I guess, yeah, they're elusive.
Speaker 2:We need a list down here of all the stuff we got. To go At least someone from the podcast to cross off each species we talk about. Yeah, ibex, I try to get a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I would try to get somebody on to talk about Ibex. Somebody's listening to this that hunts Ibex.
Speaker 5:There's nobody that is listening to this that hunts Ibex. In case there is, we want to do it. We're in 30 countries. Four or five tags if you could.
Speaker 2:Also, we want a dove hunt too. That's poor New Brunswickers, yeah.
Speaker 1:I would like to go on a dove hunt, actually.
Speaker 2:I would love to hunt doves. I personally think New Brunswick could have a season.
Speaker 1:So I think Nova Scotia does.
Speaker 2:I believe Ontario has, and I don't know about Quebec or not, but I personally think I see you see so many I don't good.
Speaker 1:They've got to taste good.
Speaker 2:I guess they are very good, it's an early September hunt also, correct?
Speaker 1:It is Most states that have it. It's early September.
Speaker 5:Great in time to train yourself up to on shotgun. That'd be awesome, susan.
Speaker 2:Holt, if you're listening.
Speaker 3:They do not listen to this.
Speaker 1:I don't think any liberals listen to this.
Speaker 5:Gary, we love you.
Speaker 1:Okay, so who's question? Team Spectacles. So, this predator is found in all the United States except Hawaii, and I'm not giving you answers, you're going to give me one. So this predator is found in all the United States except Hawaii.
Speaker 5:Black bear, I was thinking coyote. I can't imagine there's a state that there's not a coyote in.
Speaker 1:Except Hawaii, possibly.
Speaker 5:Oh fuck Hawaii.
Speaker 1:Aloha, oh shit, yeah, I'd say we could go with coyote. Yeah, let's go with coyote, because I feel like there's Read that question again. This predator is found in all the United States except Hawaii.
Speaker 5:What state would not have a black bear?
Speaker 3:I don't Hawaii. No, I don't know Because I don't know Like Florida. Even Florida has black bears, I know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they just got a season on them. Congrats Florida. They've been fighting for that, yeah, good job they did.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's good for them.
Speaker 1:I also don't know what state wouldn't have a coyote and also a fun fact about black bears is that Alberta just got back hound hunting black bears in certain wildlife management zones, so congrats.
Speaker 2:Alberta. We're just rooting for Nova Scotia's spring season now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they had it, but politics cut in the way. Alberta and Florida. It's good, good wins, good job.
Speaker 5:What do you want to go with?
Speaker 3:We can go with coyote.
Speaker 1:Coyote. Alright, guys, I'm happy you guys are going with the right answer it is coyotes. These coyotes, in most areas can be hunted year-round with no bag limits, not really any of the season, and, as we all know, as deer hunters and stuff they should be managed. So shoot your local coyote. Okay, team Testicles. Which province in Canada is said to have the highest population of coyotes? Is it A Alberta, b, ontario?
Speaker 2:C.
Speaker 1:Manitoba or D Nova Scotia.
Speaker 3:Before we get after this, let's get a scoreboard update.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, so we're actually pretty close. So team testicles is four, team spectacles is three. I like it. This is not a landslide one like normal. Actually, the past few haven't been like, it's been a lot closer. So we're four to three. This is close. I have a bonus question as well.
Speaker 3:Nice.
Speaker 1:So which province in Canada is said to have the highest population of coyotes?
Speaker 2:A Alberta, B Ontario, C Manitoba, d nova scotia and we're talking straight up number of coyotes, not coyotes per capita or coyotes per square kilometer we're talking population. Okay, good question I think we could rule out nova scotia, that's a pretty easy one yeah, I think they definitely could have taken it per square kilometer or per capita or something along that, but I don't think they have the area to support a straight up number.
Speaker 4:No, the worst part is I was going to say Saskatchewan before you started reading it. That one didn't come up.
Speaker 2:I automatically think the Prairies too, because it was Alberta, saskatchewan, ontario and Nova Scotia right.
Speaker 4:Alberta Manitoba and.
Speaker 1:Ontario.
Speaker 4:It's between those three, okay, I mean Ontario is very vast.
Speaker 2:So again working up there. I know a lot of guys there. They got the dog boxes where they pull out in the field and hit the button and all the doors fall down and they chase them.
Speaker 1:They lose their dogs.
Speaker 2:Those are the coolest things ever, Literally. So they got big competitions up there where you see the guys bringing in the 150 and 200 in a weekend.
Speaker 1:The hound guys, they'll use the greyhounds and whippets and stuff for that, but they also have hounds out there for coyote hunting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I don't know, this is a really tough one.
Speaker 1:Like you guys are thinking so far.
Speaker 2:I think manitoba isn't is definitely prairie, but I think it's not prairie enough.
Speaker 4:Well, it's a very short distance of prairie there, yeah I don't know.
Speaker 2:I I think landmass area, I think alberta, that's what you think, but again, it could be any three of those, but I personally think alberta, but it could be. I don't think it's Manitoba, I don't think it's Nova.
Speaker 4:Scotia, you think it's either between Alberta or Ontario.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But if you had to pick one, because you do- I'll let Ryan pick. Okay.
Speaker 4:Ooh, I don't know, I'm going to go with I'm thinking Ontario. With this one, let's go Ontario.
Speaker 1:You guys go with Ontario. You guys have just won. I know Alberta, I would have picked Alberta. So, jacob, you were saying about Nova Scotia per capita or whatever they do have, the highest is what it said.
Speaker 2:Per capita or per? Yeah, because they have a lot, a lot, a lot there. But I just know they wouldn't have the area to support the population.
Speaker 1:When I was reading about it they said, yeah, per capita or whatever stuff, Nova Scotia does have the most. It's a good guess, Alberta and Ontario that definitely would have been what I'd be picking from, but Ontario. So it's saying that Ontario does have the most. And also, apparently they have been seen in Newfoundland getting there from the ice, from Nova Scotia, I guess, which kind of seems crazy.
Speaker 4:I thought they introduced coyotes to Newfoundland.
Speaker 1:Well, on Hinterland, that's what they said about. They've been seeing Newfoundland getting there from the ice.
Speaker 4:No, there's 100% coyotes in Newfoundland.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, apparently, according to Hinterland, there's a thriving population. Yeah, they have been seen.
Speaker 2:So I got a friend that lives in Labrador, newfoundland and Labrador are just starting to see for the first year ever ticks. Really, and they just had one for the first time today, confirmed to carry Lyme disease.
Speaker 1:They never had ticks before.
Speaker 2:They've never had ticks until— so you think the?
Speaker 1:coyotes brought them over. Something brought them over.
Speaker 2:I'm not saying that it could be dogs, could be livestock, could be in food, could be in lumber, but I'm just saying that for new things being seen. This is the first year, one of the first years for ticks in Newfoundland and Labrador. Really.
Speaker 1:Yep, Well, good luck boys. The ticks friggin' suck and there seems to be no way to control them. What's the bonus question? The bonus question you guys want it.
Speaker 4:Of course, the bonus question you guys want it, of course.
Speaker 1:This is actually pretty close. What is your host with the most? Who knows the least? Ken Meyers' favorite summertime animal to hunt?
Speaker 4:Is it locally?
Speaker 1:Yeah, trash, pandas, yeah Raccoons, you betcha.
Speaker 4:Raccoon season starts up next month and I'm fired up and ready to go.
Speaker 1:I were talking about that at the beginning of the podcast, yeah it's kind of what I do, as you guys know quite a bit.
Speaker 2:Okay, here's one, a fishing one. We're coming into prime time. We're fishing once this hot July weather passes. Okay, I'll take a shot at it.
Speaker 1:I do not know fishing.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 2:Ken's this, one Of all the salmon species in Canada because I don't know what the word would for sure Canada, what is the only salmon species that doesn't die after it spawns?
Speaker 1:I didn't know any of them died after they spawned.
Speaker 4:What that's like most of them do.
Speaker 2:Like BC River. You've never seen the bears dragging them out of the river and stuff.
Speaker 4:They die faster than they can eat them.
Speaker 2:I've seen them, they spawn. No wonder the populations are low. No, some of those rivers have millions and millions of fish return every year. It'll surprise you the fish that doesn't die has the lowest population problem.
Speaker 1:Is it like the Atlantic salmon? Give us three options.
Speaker 2:Ryan, it's the Atlantic salmon.
Speaker 1:Don't give us any options.
Speaker 3:I didn't know if any of us knew I was going to say yeah.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm heading to do tomorrow. I was going to say landlocked salmon because I've heard that name that's an Atlantic salmon. That's an landlocked Atlantic salmon yeah, exactly that's why we got it right. Good job, ryan.
Speaker 2:Landlocked Atlantic salmon, that's the same thing when you hear guys in New Brunswick especially talk about a landlocked salmon, or in Quebec, or in New Brunswick especially talk about a landlocked salmon, or in Quebec or northern New Brunswick they call it a Wawaniche. It's a landlocked Atlantic salmon, that's all it is, and a lot of them get stalked.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, there are a lot of wild ones. Is it by people they know? Because apparently, when most people get stalked it is by somebody you know.
Speaker 2:Mine is the ALK there, but you've never seen the videos of all the bears dragging those pigs.
Speaker 1:No, I've seen the bears all waiting and catch them as they're trying to go up to spawn. Yeah, so that's so.
Speaker 2:Those fish are running upriver to spawn, To spawn yes, and once they're to where because salmon, always a salmon baby knows where it was born to return to what's the baby's called.
Speaker 1:Well, there's fry, there's pyre small.
Speaker 2:There's fry pyre small Okay fry.
Speaker 3:There's different stages for salmon.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but there's certain fish that only return every second year. Some return every year. But all those West Coast salmon, the kings, the cohos, the silvers, the pinks, the chums, they all die after spawning.
Speaker 2:Jeez, and then New brunswick and the atlantic coast of the atlantic salmon doesn't die, but it has the lowest population. For abstinence. There's a but. It's in the fish world. A lot of fish die after spawning holy so, like right now in newfoundland, for an example. You hear guys talk about the capelin run. It's literally like these little smelt looking fish that wash up on the beach. They're still alive, but they spawn like where the waves break okay on the beach.
Speaker 2:They're still alive, but they spawn where the waves break On the beach. The reason those salmon are dying they've spent all their energy. They have to get all the way up river to lay their eggs. They're pretty much just exhausted and die at the end.
Speaker 1:I felt like that after my hike last week, but I'm here to keep going. That's crazy. You've got to think too.
Speaker 2:Imagine if you were like the fertilizer that that forest gets when those bears drag those fish off.
Speaker 1:The eagles drag the fish off. Is that why, like in BC and stuff, the trees are so massive? You think is from that fertilizer a little.
Speaker 2:It could be, yeah, part of their temperate rainforest and all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's probably most of it, and they haven't raped and pillaged their province with logging as bad as we have. Shout out.
Speaker 2:I didn't say any names. There's lots of private loggers in the province.
Speaker 1:My employer, no, Good job boys. You guys won your koozies. We'll be doing some more trivia ones soon.
Speaker 5:Where's my T-shirt from the last one that I won? I thought you got it, no.
Speaker 1:It didn't fit. It's in the mail. I didn't have it, yeah they had to share didn't they, yeah, um, all, right until next time.
