Ep. 874: How To Start A Bison Ranch

And I didn't know that, um, man, I got to tell you, this is such an old, this is like from way back in the earliest, earliest days of this show of this podcast is probably one of my favorite segments we ever did is we were interviewing a, uh, uh, Makushi.

It was the second time I'd gone down there and hung out with them.

White-lipped peccary would be hundreds.

And they would periodically have white-lipped peccary move through their village areas and they would harvest a whole bunch of these white-lipped peccaries.
