How long ago were they killed? Was there anything left?
Really? Yeah. I know that's on my Instagram. Wasn't it a bear kill or a lion kill?
I just asked because bears and lions both pluck and eat. Yeah.
Right.
Yeah. Magpies and ravens are my best friends when I'm out looking for kills. Yeah.
So there's been stories written. And there's a guy who does a lot of raven studies. Oh, his name escapes me right now. They're so smart. Yeah. He's done some really interesting studies with ravens. And if you ever watch the videos of crows solving puzzles and ravens, oh, my God. Incredible, right? Next life, I want to come back as a raven.
Think about that.
The raven guy's name is Bernd Heinz. He's German. Bernd as in Bernie with Bernd. Bernd and Heinz. Yeah. Anyway, it's cool stuff. I mean, you and I are both obviously very interested in animals. We hunt our own food. But just... When I'm out hunting, I feel a little bit like a predator. Not a lot because I got a gun, but I watch the dogs who are basically predators.
And I watched animals in the landscape and it just, you see so much when you're out hunting. I'm sure. I mean, what's the coolest animal you've ever seen when you've been out on the landscape, hiking or hunting or anything?
Yeah, our grizzlies in the Rocky Mountains are quite small compared to the coastal brown bears and the same species.
But they're very different in death. They have to make a living. I mean, if you had to make your living picking huckleberries and eating gut piles in the fall, it'd be skinny. And they have to put on a lot of weight.
And Banff. You ever been to Banff in the fall?
They're bugling and mating on the post office lawn. What?
Right.
I think I've heard of occasionally wolves find out and they sneak into town at night.
Yes. It was a closed-gated community between Whitefish and Kalispell, and they had their pups in this closed-gated community because there's no hunting. It's unlimited green space and undeveloped forest because people have McMansions, and they have a huge acreage, and it's just quiet time. There's not a safer place, and the people there like them because they don't have livestock.
They're usually not hunters. It's great, except then they grow up and they have to leave, the wolves. Right. You know, so then they get out in the real world and then they get their asses kicked.
And you've learned that people are OK.
Right. It's really interesting. Yeah. That pact didn't make it. I'm not surprised.
But it was just so interesting to me how adaptable wolves are. You know, when I first started this business, I come from Minnesota and the wolves lived only in the northern third or quarter of the state where it was boundary water canoe area and really wild because any place else they got killed off.
