The homeowner or the government? Well, yeah, I've had several homeowner calls, but most, you know, well, a lot of, you know, hunting clubs, deer clubs, they have, you know, they've got thousands, 2,000 acres. And I started out with the coyotes, and they're killing the baby deer.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
Um, and, um, that, that, that was kind of for free, but, um, and I, I just, I did it, but I didn't, I, you know, I didn't really enjoy it because it was just taking my time up. And, um, but yeah, I had a big, gigantic, uh, corporation company call me with the beaver, the beavers.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
They're clogging up pipes and they're flooding roads, timber companies, and they're flooding the roads, washing the roads out. They're destroying like 50, 60 acres of woodland with damming up the pipes and the culverts. And that's where... i do that kind of on the side other than my other work and
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
You know, I've got a lot of hate mail, a lot of hate stuff on Facebook, but people have to understand, I'm only removing two or three beavers, and there's thousands of beavers in the swamps. But these two or three beavers are flooding roads out and destroying hundreds of acres of land. Listen to this.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
Oh, oh, oh, my God. Is there a beaver call? I've got so many stories. And you're right, Brian. I mean, I mean, I've got I've got so many friends that a beaver, a couple of beavers can cost twenty five thousand dollars.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
Upon upon down upon down. has to be rebuilt. But beavers are cute and they're very smart and they're the nature's engineers. I mean, they build dams and they're very intelligent. And I respect all wildlife. I do. I do. But there's certain circumstances where you have to remove a certain colony or whatever because they're just wreaking havoc. And, um, But you're right.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
But going to the fact of me going in the water. Oh, Brian and Kristen. Oh, my God. I encounter alligators frequently. I encounter water moccasins. Now, alligators really don't scare me as much as the water moccasins.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
Because I'm wading waist deep in the water through vines and weeds. What are you wearing? You're wearing, like, waders? I'm wearing chest waders. And I'm wearing chest waders. And by law, I have to carry a pistol. By law.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
No, because when I... Well, yeah, there's, there's many reasons, but, but, um, I mean, people may hate me for that, but I got, I got some stories about, uh, some Facebook posts and women getting mad at me and. I can address that in a little bit. Haters gonna hate. Haters gonna hate.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
I don't disagree with that. Exactly. I respect that. Exactly. I respect wildlife. I respect every animal. I respect deer, hogs, alligators. I respect all wildlife. But, hold on, hold on one second. It's like people are like, well, you eat chicken, you raise chickens, and you kill chickens to eat? I'm like, well, where do you get chickens?
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
Well, I get it from the freezer section in the grocery store. I'm like, where do you think that chicken comes from? Exactly. Yes.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
Well, alligators in the wild are pretty much basically scared humans. The dangerous alligators are the ones that are fed from docks and subdivisions because they're not afraid of people, and those are the dangerous ones. Now, I encounter alligators in the wild all the time, and they are afraid of humans, and they will leave. Now, I will tell you one story.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
There's one type of alligator that I'm scared of in the wild. That's a mama with babies.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
I was doing a trapping. I was doing a beaver nuisance control job. And I had to walk down this steep bank and walk around this dam. I'm in the water, like waist deep, with my waders on. And I set some traps for beavers because they were clogging up the pipe and flooding the road in the woods. And then I heard this specific grunt. And I know what that grunt sounds like. I can mimic it.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
I can call it. I know how to call alligators. I can call alligators up to me. Wow. With a specific baby grunt. I mean, it's a specific sound. And I was in the water, and I was sitting trapped, and I was in, I was wasting, and I heard this little chirp. It's like a chirp. And it was baby alligators. And I'm like, oh, shit. And I'm like 50 feet away, and I'm in the water.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
And I eased my way out and I walked down the little road and I saw a nest down in the bank. And it was like five little baby alligators in a nest. And I've already got traps out there in that water. And I had to check them every day. And the next day I parked my truck way down the road. I walked and I saw the mama. Eight feet, nine feet long.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
50 feet from where I was wading in the water and had my beaver traps. And I'm like, no. No, I'm out of here.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
I got my traps out of there and I left that spot. I'm like, no. And I didn't, I mean, I really could have, you know, kill the mama, and, you know, I don't want to do that.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
No, we don't have pythons in Georgia. I mean, I've worked down in South Florida, but we don't have pythons in South Georgia. We have a lot of water moccasins and a lot of alligators and rattlesnakes. And I'm in that every day when I'm trapping beavers. I'm walking through the woods, and I've encountered... I mean... I hope you're getting paid well. Well, I mean, Christy, I did.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
Yeah, I mean, when you do something no one else wants to do. I mean, I consider myself pretty brave when it comes to getting in the water. I mean, I guess to tell you, the scariest thing to me is the water moccasins. Yeah. They are...
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
mean and they are aggressive and they're everywhere and do you have to psych yourself up before you get in the water with like a song or something yeah you can listen to some commercial break Well, I think I told you, Brian, one time on a text one time. You know, I used to work when I was a teenager. I worked for a pest control company. I used to crawl into houses to check for termites.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
And one time I crawled over an air conditioner vent and Under the crawl space door. You know those little holes where you crawl under a house?
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
And immediately when I crawled in on my belly, my hand touched this slimy thing. And it was like a four-foot freshly shed slime. snakeskin. And I'm like, I've got to crawl under this whole house to do my job. And I just touched this snakeskin. I knew there's snakes under this house somewhere. But I've got to crawl
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
And your favorite thing, Brian, one time I was crawling on my left elbow, just crawling and knocking on the side with a little hammer, checking for termites. And I got to the corner and face to face.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
Those things are mean as a snake. With his mouth open in my face. Those beady eyes.
The Commercial Break
Habeas Pump'em!
