Spencer catches, I mean, reports on a $44,000 Iowa walleye. Some weird old people are being weird about swans and other waterfowl in North Carolina. We've got a few grizzly tags here in Montana going down, including a fatality.
Spear fishermen are coming for your walleyes in Michigan, and I'm joining them. And Dr. Randall reports on public lands transfers in Alaska, plus a whole lot more. Welcome. But first, as always, our news. Who starts? Hey, please subscribe to the Meat Eater Podcast YouTube channel. It helps us a lot, and you'll be the first to know when new shows drop. Well, you just read that. That's at the meat eater. Phil, what's the at? No, it's just the Meat Eater Podcast Network. Oh, that's right.
Yeah, it's just really helpful for our network if you all subscribe.
Yeah, do a solid for your fellow. Meat Eater Roast, we've got a new episode dropping today. Me and Yanni have a showdown in Meat Eater Roast, and me and Yanni's wives judge it. You know what someone pointed out to me? They said they'd never tell anybody this, but they said someone that watched the cut. Your wife hacks on your cooking because she does. But he says she gets visibly defensive when someone else hacks on your cooking.
Interesting.
Which I haven't watched to take note yet. I like that. After you guys filmed that, man, Giannis did not have a lot of good things to say about you.
What is the significance of the $44,000 walleye story?
He said you were just scattered all over the place trying to do too much at once. He said that? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
What are the concerns regarding waterfowl in North Carolina?
This is all getting cut out, by the way. We can't spoil the episode. So our Save Tuckertown campaign, who's got the... Oh, the donation deadline is May 14th.
Yeah, so just pay attention to that, and we've just got a couple more days.
So again, help me. They're at $163,000 raised out of the $200,000 goal, which will be matched... By 100,000 from Meat Eater and 100,000 from Onyx.
What details are shared about grizzly bear attacks in Montana?
And what's the closest, what's the closest municipality here? Well, how do we say in your neck of the woods? It's southeast of Salisbury, North Carolina. Okay. Northeast of Charlotte. Okay, so two things out of North Carolina today. Just as a recap. Halfway between Winston-Salem and Charlotte? Alcoa, who's heavy in the aluminum business, Alcoa owned a bunch of land near the Tuckertown Reservoir. They'd always manage it as public land. Alcoa wants to divest of that asset. Okay, so one option when divesting from an asset is they would just sell it off, and then people are going to buy it, and it'll become like houses. Or... You contribute to the effort to buy it and make it permanently public land. So we're at Mediator working with OnX, and we're doing a matching thing.
Your donations come in. We match them dollar for dollar up to the point that we hit 200 grand. No. Is that right? 200 grand of matches. Yeah, something like that. Yes, we have 200,000 in matching funds.
So you guys can go to TheMeatEater.com and search Land Access, and our Land Access 2026 page will pop up, and there's a link to make a donation there.
I killed a big old whitetail buck on some former Alcoa land. In North Carolina? No, different state. It's hanging in The Meat Eater store. What state? Texas. Texas. Why are you being weird about it? I don't know. Spot burn, Texas.
That's why I told you Texas and I decided it was okay.
It used to be alcohol. I heard on that podcast, there's a deer in Texas. Yep. Go down there. Randall. Yeah. Did you win? No, I didn't. I didn't. Uh, that's a, we're talking about a spoiler alert. Yeah. Yeah. I went down, uh, By the time you're listening to this, it would be the weekend before last to the very southeastern corner of Wyoming, just across from the Kansas, or I'm sorry, the Nebraska border.
