This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Check out Phelps' new bear cub distress call. Springtime is the right time to use a bear cub in distress sound when bear hunting.
How do bear cub distress calls affect bear hunting?
Male bears will kill cubs in order to get females to cycle into another breeding opportunity, and the sound of a cub in distress also signals to other male bears that a meal is close and even a possible mate. A bear cub in distress will also get the attention of a female bear to come and investigate to defend a cub dragging any male suitors she has in tow. Not to mention, a cub in distress will also call other predators in as they're looking for an easy meal too. Get your own bear cub in distress at phelpsgamecalls.com.
Welcome to the news show, ladies and gentlemen. Today we've got news about a gang of rogue turkeys who beat up a nice old lady. Oregon voters will get to consider a bill to ban all hunting, fishing, ranching, and rodeoing pushed by a dude called who looks like Moby on a diet. We got an interview about archaeological findings around who invented the bow and arrow and when. Spencer Newhart shatters a number of fishing records. Seth is slowly killing himself eating fish full of PFAS chemicals. And Patagonia sues, of all things, a drag queen. But first, I'm up. The mouse is gone.
Oh, what happened?
It got away. But it's like a complicated story because first the mouse, my boy comes in the room. I don't know when that kid goes to bed, the high school kid. Comes into our room, wakes me and my wife up at 2 in the morning to say the mouse got away, but I found it. And I said, did you put a lid on it so it doesn't get out again? He says, yes. The next day I wake up and there's no lid on it. And I said, why did you say that you put a lid on it? He said, because what I meant was it doesn't need a lid. Oh, sure. He said it crawled. What he meant was it doesn't need a lid. And I'm like, Katie, do you remember him saying in the middle of the night that he put a lid on it? She says he absolutely said he put a lid on it.
He says it doesn't need a lid is why he said that. He says it crawled out on a stick, but he found it.
He woke you up in the middle of the night to tell you that it got away.
That's what was so fishy about it. But it was true because in the morning he goes back. I don't get why. I don't know why he woke us up to tell us that. He woke us up to tell us a non-news item. Sounds suspicious there. But still it made its way to the news show. Very fishy. So he says there was a stick in there. Someone put a stick in there so it mimicked its real environment, like your real life environment.
What are the implications of the Oregon hunting ban petition?
And he said, well, I took the stick out. Then my wife goes and gets a basket full of laundry in the laundry room, screams bloody murder because the mouse has got out and found its way and is living in the laundry basket. We find it again and catch it. This little boy... Who was his mom, a neighbor boy. His mom was with my wife when they found the mouse. He made a hardware cloth box with a lid for the mouse. Nice. Since there's no aquarium lid, we put it in the hardware cloth, like made out of like, you know, wire mesh to store it in there. But my wife at this point is done with this mouse getting away. So she's like, store the mouse outside in the box with the lid. I had originally nixed this box because I said that mouse will fit through the hardware cloth.
But I said, put it in there because it's got a lid and put it outside. And they're like, well, I thought you said it'd crawl through the hardware cloth. I'm like, well, I think it's big enough now where it won't. But it did. But where it gets complicated is my wife was mad that I brought that thing down here. Because she's like, it's illegal to have wildlife. So you're going to get in trouble for talking about that stupid thing on the podcast. And I said, you're going to get in trouble because you brought it home. But now it's gone anyway. And now it looks like I let it go to avoid the law. Because if they raid the house, like I listen to Blood Trails. If there's no body, it's very hard to prosecute.
