You can go to Brianna. Yeah. Hey, and she's kicking butt on the philanthropy stuff. Thank you for all your help. Yeah. The auction house has been fun. Earned a lot of money through that. It's wrapped up. You're done with that now. Yep. Good for you. Hunting, fishing, conservation, cooking, strengths and weaknesses for you. Cooking, strength, conservation, middle of the ground. I would say hunting. I've never been hunting. Okay. I've been fishing a lot, but what was the other one? That's all. Okay. Yeah. Welcome to the show, Brianna. Max also joining us. He was gone for a while playing dad. How you doing, Max? Doing well. Welcome back. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Being a dad's great. It's a lot of fun. Is it what you expected? No. I don't think no one prepared me for like the lack of sleep. Yeah. I feel like that's something that everybody knows about. Yes. I mean. They'll tell you that. And you're like, Oh, yeah. Like, whatever. When you're actually experiencing it, though, it's a different. Like, just last night, I was up from like two to three 30. Yeah. So it's like, it's pretty typical. So. But yeah, he's doing great. Eating, sleeping, pooping, doing all good things. So it's like that. We'll see if Max has dad brain on trivia or not. Alex told me I could use that for excuse. I'm not going to try that. That'll work a while. We'll see. All right. We're starting today. Show with a mail bag question. If you have a question, you want the crew to answer. Then send your question to
[email protected]. With the subject line mail bag, Adam E says, I'm going on a four day hunting trip into the mountains of the PNW for blacktail and bear with a body in late October. He's an experienced outdoorsman. And I'm a green horn when it comes to backpacking. I'm a self-taught hunter, but have never done in overnighter. He's been a great mentor. But what advice can you give me that I can have preloaded in my head for the trip? Yani, what do you got for Adam? I wish I knew if Adam was looking for hot and advice for deep in the backcountry or more for backpacking. He didn't ask about gear, but I imagine he would take any gear advice in the mental advice you have for him. What did you take it? What kind of advice do you think he's looking for? I think he just wants like a couple tips that he has in red online that he's not something for someone who spent a lot of nights in the mountains like you, Yani, that's what he wants. Well on the topic of gear, less is more, okay. Ditch the crocs. You don't need to camp shoes because when you go to bed, you're just going to take your boots off and get in your ditch all the actions. Really look at every piece of gear and think, do I have a really good two or maybe three reasons to bring this item along? And if you can't come up with at least two, then just leave it. You can probably just look at all your clothes and take away two layers. You're still going to be fine because you have a sleeping bag with you. Less is more. You're going to be carrying it around all the time and pound, what do they say, ounces add up to pounds, pounds add up to pain. Okay. That's perfect advice, Yani. Well done. Well, thanks, Spencer. Marcus Logan. What would he got for Adam? I got one. Bring a book. Maybe that physical, if you want to watch, wait, bring an ebook on your phone or something, you're liable to get rained in at least one day, possibly, and you're stuck in your tent all day long. If for some reason it's nasty, gnarly, and you're not going out there, especially I guess, Pacific Northwest. TNW and late October. That could be up there. Very good. So have a little something if you get stuck in the tent for an extended period. There you go. Logan. You don't honestly don't do too much backpacking hunting. I have seen some places other people choose to camp and it's like right where all the elk are and I feel like that tends to throw them off like your sense in that area. So I don't know. For me personally, I try not to camp like where I know the elk are, I'm not like camping in them. I'm camping kind of like off to the side where my sense not blowing into them personally. I don't know if that's, you know, any other advice for Adam on his first backpacking overnighter. Download your own ex-maps. There you go. Let's scout out potential water sources. Don't camp too far away from water source if that's possible. Scout out hunt areas. Even get boots on the ground beforehand, before the actual hunt days would be best case scenario. There you go. All right. Good luck, Adam. Okay. We have some housekeeping to get to in our previous episode. We had a trivia question about the price of a federal duck stamp. The correct answer was what max? Well, $25. $25. But a couple dozen listeners wrote in saying that it costs more than that with prices ranging from $29 to $31. Some even sent pictures of their receipts to prove it. But those listeners were buying their duck stamp through state agencies, which tend to charge administrative fees that extra four to $6 is not part of the price of a duck stamp. If you want to pay the flat $25 price, then go get your duck stamp in person at the post office or by the digital duck stamp through duck stamp.com. You can even see on this year's duck stamp in the last few years, they just put $25 right on there. That's a $25 item. Max, what have you bought your duck stamp yet? I have not, but that's a great reminder. You like to go into the physical location and buy yours or? Yeah. I like to get physical ones and I always just grab a couple extra because there's always that one buddy that will text you the night before you go hunting. Hey, I don't have a duck stamp. Good for you. And like, yeah, you can just have him sign it, have him bemo you $25 or he can just always buy it online. But yeah, I typically buy one for me, my wife and my dog every year. There you go. And now Rocky at home. Oh, yeah. 9/8% of dogs into conservation are by for Rocky. All right, today's episode is brought to you by can-am and thanks to them, you are getting some extra trivia this week between questions five and six next to our friends at can-am. All right, the Shelby index for today is a five, so I'm putting out some perfect score alert. Whoa. And with that, we're on to the game of trivia. Put the drop fill. Look, I need to know what I stand to win to everything. How's that? Just time to win everything. Game on suckers question on the topic is hunting. Which of these states has the most elk, Nevada, Kentucky, New Mexico, Oregon, which of these states has the most elk your four choices, Nevada, Kentucky, New Mexico, Oregon. For someone else relevant for today's episode, the fill index is a nine. He told me the best game filled, say he's ever done in what 250 episodes, so this is maybe either the easiest episode or the filliest episode we'll find out. Of these states, which has the most elk, Nevada, Kentucky, New Mexico, Oregon, no quick answers in the room. This one seems like a little tricky like I'm surprised that this is included in this like gimme. Mark, this was the one I got incorrect. Oh, all right, everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Yani says New Mexico, Mark, Oregon, Logan, Oregon, John, Oregon, Brianna, Oregon, Maxwell, Oregon. The correct answer is Oregon, anybody Yani, there are as many elk in Oregon as the other states combined, Oregon has 133,000 elk, New Mexico has 80,000, Nevada has 18,000 and Kentucky has 13,000.
Oregon has the third most elk in the United States. I just think you got all those mountains that we're just talking about. Yeah, get him, Brewer. Phil, what did you say? I said New Mexico. Did you say? I just feel like a lot of residents of Oregon get tags pretty regularly. Two of those other states you have to apply. A lot of elk habitat there. Question two, the topic is conservation. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Adam Smith for sending this great question. Adam is going to get a $150 first light gift card. If you want a chance to win the listener question of the week, then send your question to
[email protected]. Historians say that the construction of this Italian stadium contributed to the extinction of several animal species across Europe and Africa. Max and Mark already have their answers. See, I feel like now that Mark lives here, there's going to be some, I don't know how many rounds of trivia have won Mark, but I feel like we've got a new like heavy hitter. Yeah, don't put that kind of pressure on me. I've slide Mark in there right at the yawning level of competitiveness and trivia. It's fun that we've added that kind of player to the mix. This is the first time that I've ever been able to defend my title. I've never been in a back-to-back trivia games before. Again, we're on question two. Is everybody ready? Yeah, my spelling works. We have Yani saying the Pantheon Mark and Logan and John and Brianna and Maxwell say the Colosseum. They got it. The correct answer to my brain, right? Is the Colosseum? Yes. For spelling, it's C-O-L-O-S-S-E-U-M. Colosseum. Is the Pantheon also a great big giant stadium? Probably, but I don't think it's the color into a different country. The Colosseum was built about 2000 years ago. Large animals played a significant role in Colosseum entertainment with the stadium hosting staged hunts, animal versus animal combat, and human versus animal combat. Romans shipped in exotic wildlife from across the world, including leopards, rhinos, hippos, tigers, bears, wolves, elephants, and more. It's estimated that 9,000 animals died in the arena within the first 100 days. Some now extinct species that performed in the Colosseum include the North African Elephant, Caspian Tiger, Barbary Lion, and Atlas Bear. There is the last photo ever taken of a Barbary Lion in the wild. I was taken in the Atlas Mountains in 1925. There's a few left today in captivity, but in the wild, they are extinct. And those lions played a lot of games in the Colosseum. There's some very entertained Romans. Wow. I looked it up the Pantheon isn't Italy, but it's a temple, not a. Question three, the topic is fishing. Fly fisherman magazine says that fishing from a SUV, which stands for blank, blank, blank, is "about as pure a form of fly fishing from a floating craft as you can get." I feel like knowing that this is a 10 hypothetical sport, puts so much pressure on every single question. If you get one wrong, you can get one. I'm not going to say that. I'll give you some of that, yeah. Seriously, I've just got, it's kind of sitting around Hunterly, use it. This term is defined as the specific temperature at which a cooking oil stops shimmering and begins to produce visible fumes. Mark, do you give up? Yeah. Yani says smoke point. Mark without an answer. Logan smoke point. John without an answer. Brianna smoke point. Maxwell smoke point. The correct answer is smoke point. High heat oils have a smoke point over 400 degrees. These include peanut oil and beef talon. Medium heat oils have a smoke point between 320 and 400 degrees. These include extra virgin olive oil and vegetable oil. Low heat oils have a smoke point below 320 degrees. These include almond oil and flax seed oil. All right, and now it's time for our can-am question of the week. Thanks to can-am. You get some bonus trivia in this week's episode. This is not count towards your scourge just for bragging, right? Here's the question. Topic is haunting. Can-am was founded in this province which also has a subspecies of caribou named after it. Is it Manitoba, Nova Scotia or Quebec? Maxwell didn't even need the choices. He just knows. But then I thought about it. I'm going with the gut. Can-am. Bonus question. Yani owns like three can-ams. That's not a good one. He doesn't know where the HQ is. Is everybody ready? Yani, Quebec, Marcus says what? Nova Scotia, Logan, Nova Scotia, John, Manitoba, Brianna, Manitoba, Maxwell, Quebec, the correct answer is Quebec. That is the Quebec Labrador caribou subspecies. There are only about 9,000 of them left in the world. That was our can-am question of the week. Can-am. Unstoppable. Art Phil, give us a scoreboard update. Good question. We got quite the game going here Spencer. We've got Yannis and John. Tied up in last with three points. Mark and Max have four. And in first place with perfect games are Logan Dove and Brianna.

In six, the topic is public lands bulldozers began work on border patrol roads and barriers earlier this month in this Texas National Park. It's all downhill from there. Bulldozers began work on border patrol roads and barriers earlier this month in this Texas National Park. This is included in this week's meat eater weekly field brief. You're not following the meat eater news Instagram account already. Check that out for your conservation updates. You'll do better on meat eater trivia. Max, do you have this one right? I got a good guess. Okay, Brianna, do you have this one right? I believe so. Logan, perfect game going. No, I'm about to think of some Texan words. Eldorado. I don't think there's a y'all national right now. But I know when I see it, it's just it'll all come back bulldozers began work on border patrol roads and barriers earlier this month in this Texas National Park. I think it's national park with somewhere else. You may not have it right then. I. Oh, yeah, explain later. My guess would make sense. Okay, it's everybody ready. Yani says big bend. Mark, big bend. Logan, Elamo, John, without an answer, Brianna, big bend, Maxwell, Rio Grande. That answer makes sense. The correct answer is big bend national park bulldozers began clearing vegetation in the park near the Rio Grande on August 6th. The construction is part of a $1.7 billion project that will build roads, barriers, lights, towers and surveillance platforms in big bend. The National Wildlife Federation said while it supports a secure border, it believes the big bend ecosystem is too fragile for this kind of infrastructure. There's a picture of that work going on bulldozers are cleaning some land there. That construction company is actually from Bozeman here and it's founder donated $1 million to President Trump for it won this bid. Really? Suspects. Question seven, the topic is fishing. A six year old boy tells his tiger stuffed animal that quote, fishing is the most boring sport in the world in this 1987 comic strip. Logan, you have this one right? I think so, yeah. Okay. Mark and Yani, they look confident. Their white boards are down. Brianna still has a perfect game going. Do you have this one? I think so. Okay. Seven for seven. And what's your star of boys? I'm here with a perfect game going. I think so. Okay, seven for seven. I don't think I think first timers are usually performing below average, not Brianna. It's six year old boy tells his tiger stuffed animal that fishing is the most boring sport in the world in this 1987 comic strip. Brianna, if you win, you get to choose where the donation goes for me, Deeter. So start thinking about that. And if you get a perfect game, it's a double donation. It's $1,000. I was thinking about that. And I was like, there's no way. I don't think about it. Maybe everyone else is going to throw the game for you. Oh, that's kind, but unnecessary. I'm doing it on purpose. A six year old boy tells his tiger stuffed animal that fishing is the most boring sport in the world in this 1987 comic strip. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers, Yani, Kelvin and Hobbes, Mark, Kelvin and Hobbes, Logan, Kelvin and Hobbes, John, Charlie Brown, Brianna, Kelvin and Hobbes max well without an answer. The correct answer is Kelvin and Hobbes. I don't even think I've ever heard of that. Slight magazine called Kelvin and Hobbes, quote, the last great newspaper comic. It was printed in over 2,000 newspapers in 50 countries during its run from 1985 to 1995. Kelvin generally found fishing to be miserable. In one comic strip, Kelvin gets bit by a fish right before Hobbes shows up and asks if the fish are biting. In another, his dad tells him he's wasting the day away by not going smallmouth fishing at 6 a.m. And in another, Kelvin complains that fishing is boring because nothing exciting ever happens. So Hobbes throws him in the lake. Ignate the topic is gear. This next right question is via Brian Tanner. Outdoor apparel made of this acronym, which is commonly referred to as, quote, forever chemicals is banned in New York and California. Outdoor apparel made of this acronym, which is commonly referred to as forever chemicals is banned in New York. I'm worried about that sound. That was a very sketchy. I know it. I have a concept of the acronym that I'm going to get it wrong. She is the only player in the blank whiteboard. The consists of all capital letters. As most acronyms do. This is question eight. We'll get a scoreboard update from Phil after this. Yes. Your rainwear will never be as waterproof as it once was and you grew up. Keep hearing in our lifetimes. Outdoor apparel made of this acronym, which is commonly referred to as forever chemicals is banned in New York and California. It's probably for the best though. Yeah. Oh, it is. Hopefully it drives an innovation to make other, you know, as waterproof materials. The rainwear you're referring to has been, that deadline has been pushed out the furthest among the outdoor apparel when they're saying you can't use this anymore, but they gave people making this product, you know, rainwear, the longest lead time to follow.
and nine. It's everybody ready? Yeah. Yani and Mark and Logan and John say PFAS. Brianna says Gore-Tex, Maxwell, PFAS, the correct answer is PFAS, PFAS. F-A-S. Seth would have loved that answer. I was gonna put an M in there for some reason. I knew that was wrong. PFAS stands for Per and Polly, Floral, Elkall, Substances. Both states created laws to ban PFAS in apparel in 2022 with those regulations rolling out through 2028. The crackdown on forever chemicals is because, as the name implies, they don't break down in nature or the human body. Phil, scoreboard update. Everyone except for John is still contending. Got Max with five points. Yani's has six. Now tied up with seven points of peace or three players since Brianna slipped up on that last question. We've got Mark Logan and Brianna with seven points. Very exciting. Hi, drama. Is question nine, the topic is wildlife. Urban Dictionary defines this nine-letter word as, quote, "an excessive or irrational fear of encountering bears while outdoors." You got this one right, huh, Phil? I did, yeah. Urban Dictionary defines this nine-letter word as, quote, "an excessive or irrational fear of encountering bears while outdoors." Logan, Mark, and Brianna can't slip up are they're going to lose to Phil in this episode. Urban Dictionary defines this nine-letter word as an excessive or irrational fear of encountering bears while outdoors. We've got two questions left. Mark, you have this one right? I think so. Okay, you found a nine-letter word. Came to me. He's the only player with this whiteboard down right now. Oh, Max, okay. You like your answer? Yeah, I've made it up, but it's nine letters. Urban Dictionary, I think, is a lot of crowdsourcing, Max, so you could just go and create this before the episode comes out and then give yourself the point. Yeah. Give me your answer. You've got the amount of time to do it before I reveal the answers. I'm going to tell you to check your facts again. The room is struggling on this one. Only Mark has any confidence. Brianna, do you have this one right? No, I think there's some scientific word for bears that I can't think about right now. Okay, nine-letter word, an excessive or irrational fear of encountering bears while outdoors. Is everybody ready? No. Give us 60 seconds. Wow. Yani needs Brianna Logan and Mark to slip up to stay in the game here. That's wrong question nine. Logan, do you have this one? No, I don't think so. Okay. I've got some ideas, but do you usually grant this long of extension in time when you do that nicely? Yeah, but I think it's coming to an end here. Almost never in that extension does he come up with the answer. That's not true. I think there was an episode recently where we're right at the end. It came to me. Yani says bear fears. Mark. Bear an oya. Grizzle file. Brianna says bear phobia. Maxwell. Fur phobia. The correct answer is bear an oya or bear an oed. It's believed that the word bear an oya sprang up in Alaska in the early 1990s. An article from the Los Angeles Times used the term in July of 1992. Then in September of that same year, bear an oya showed up again in a Washington Post story. Both articles were quoting reps from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game when using the word. All right. Here's a correct answer review. Number one was Oregon to the Coliseum three stand-up pedal board four cartographer five smoke point six big band national park seven Kelvin and Hobbes eight PFAS nine bear an oya fill scoreboard update. Mark Kenning is pulled ahead. He has eight points. Logan and Brianna are one point behind him with seven. Question 10. The topic is outdoors. Name the two countries whose border crosses the peak of Mount Everest. Mark gets this one right. He will have wrapped up the victory defending his title going into question 10. Going against Logan who has never won. Is that correct? Going against Brianna who has never played. Yani, you got this one right. I believe so. I feel like it's a stretch for our four verticals, Spencer. I don't know. Tallest mountain in the world. What countries are there? I think it flies. I had a question about Kelvin and Hobbes a little bit ago, Yani. About them fishing. A lot of fishing showed up in those three thomac three thousand comic strips. Oh, I loved it. I even had like the books, you know. The anthologies. Yeah, those are sweet. I've seen some of those like hard cover books and got some really cool comics comics there. I missed the Sunday comics in the newspaper I got when I was a kid. Mark, do you have this one right? Man, there's three countries, three possible answers. And I'm just a munchere of which of the two of the three lip in there. I don't think so. I don't have to think about it for a long time. Brianna, do you have this one? I don't think so. Unless it comes to me in the next 10 seconds. You sniffing that, Mike. Waiting on Brianna to come up with an answer so she can time mark Kenyan and go to overtime. Just got one. Yani says Nepal and Tibet. Mark, Nepal and Tibet. Logan without an answer. Brianna, China and India, Max says Nepal and blank. The two countries are Nepal and China or Tibet. Oh, those are my videos. The summit of Mount Everest is shared by both nations with China to the north and Nepal to the south. The two countries disagreed on Mount Everest height until recently. China measured to the bottom of the snow cap while Nepal measured to the top of it. This resulted in a 15 foot discrepancy. But in 2020, they made a joint decision that the mountain should be measured to the peak of the snow cap giving it an agreed upon height of 29,000 31 feet. And there it is in the world if you're trying to figure out where Mount Everest is. All right, Mark Kenyan. He is the winner with nine correct answers today. What did you do with that $500 donation? We're going to trout unlimited. Okay. Yeah. Big summer for them across the west as you'll hear about on meat eater news this year. Yes. We with the trout near little help right now. So we'll send a few dollars there way. Okay. Well done, Mark. Well done, Brianna. The best performance we've ever seen from a first-time player. Good job, man! Join us next week for more meat eater trivia. The only game show where conservation always wins. Text Steve right now. Tell Steve how you did. Yeah, Spencer himself Dakota. He's the host.
