You participate in a Fourth of July parade last month? A new Harvard University study just reported that Independence Day parades energize only Republicans, turn kids into Republicans, and help to boost Republican turnout of adults on Election Day. Here's a direct quote from this remarkable report. Fourth of July celebrations in the United States shaped the nation's political landscape by forming beliefs and increasing participation primarily in favor of the Republican Party. The political right has been more successful in appropriating American patriotism and its symbols during the 20th century. Survey evidence also confirms that Republicans consider themselves more patriotic than Democrats. There is a political congruence between the patriotism promoted on the Fourth of July and the values associated with the Republican Party. Fourth of July celebrations in Republican-dominated counties may thus be more politically biased events that socialize children into Republicans. Now that's the end of the direct quotation from the Harvard study. The three key findings of this Harvard report about Fourth of July celebrations are these. When done before the age of 18, it increases the likelihood of a youth identifying as a Republican by at least 2%. It raises the likelihood that parade watchers will vote for a Republican candidate by 4%. It boosts the likelihood that a parade participant will vote by about 1% and increases the chances they will make a political contribution by 3%. What's more, quoting again, the impact on political preferences is permanent with no evidence of the effects depreciating as individuals become older. Now that's a lot of mighty useful information. Since it comes from Harvard, it must be true. This has been the Phyllis Schlafly Report. If you'd like to find out more reasons why the Declaration of Independence is a religious document, then write to Eagle Forum Radio, Alton, Illinois, 62002. Ask for Mrs. Schlafly's view on the Declaration of Independence. Once again, that's Eagle Forum Radio, Alton, Illinois, 62002. And join us each weekday as we explore today's most important issues on the Phyllis Schlafly Report. The intelligence report marked and on every morning at 6 a.m. Pacific time Monday through Friday. I want the people to know that they still have two out of three branches the government working for them and that ain't bad. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat, peeking low to me, to secure our liberty. The Constitution is a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free. Freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. This is the land of the free. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. Your Christian values can't be taught. Read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've given government control. Those who do you harm, so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. And keep our country, keep men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit so their children and people leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride and are there no more values for which you will fight to save or do you wish your children fear and be a slave both sons of the republic arise take a stand To defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republican, each God-given right. As Iowoc he'd vanished in the midst for whence he came. His words were true, free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? You're training and you will come back alive. Well, that boy in the White House and those boys that are in government, shall we say, punk boys in the White House and punk boys that are in the system, they're just showing their colors for what they are, red and yellow people. That's all there is to it. So punk boys in Washington, we're all looking straight at you. What do you think, boys? Anyway, uh... we're onto the second hour of the intel report good morning ladies and gentlemen are quirky about One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines that occupy territories west, southwest, east and northeast. Well ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on the Micro Effect Network in the morning. We're also on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. We're on an AM and FM micro station, CB Bay stations and Ultra Net technologies both east and west of the Mississippi along with southern and central Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network, top of Maine, bottom of Florida, over Louisiana, all the way up from Nebraska. big box there and varying and like tree roots guys are the way this thing moves. But waving to our friends over in the Rockies we sweep across the plains good morning to all of our micro broadcasters in Iowa. We told you so, that's a big hint there about something else going on with Iowa. We told you so and look what's happening in Iowa now. Chaching. Well then over the Mississippi to the Smoky slash of Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews the grandma teams the okay teams the Mobile Grammar Consortium are doing their part to get the job done. It is a beautiful kind of quasi rainy day there. Before going any farther, that's clear, but we got it. I know we got stuff on the horizon. Party on the beach this Saturday, party on the beach this Saturday, party on the beach this Saturday, whether it rains or shines. And a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday, a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday, a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday. Don, what's the date today and what's jumping off over in your neck of the woods, sir? Mark, it is the forage moisture suspended in. How is it they can stay in suspend on the way into the air? down the, it's gonna roll off on your helmet, either with you, whenever you don't know when, but you need that from being another minute on the wild. You know that, well, you can have perfect all day and man, almost like a World War I pilot, you know, the, what that, look right at you, and look right at you and say, why, I've been taught there's never been a re- not in history has anyone ever proved that a wolf has killed someone, never been a re- a recorded attack in history. a wolf against a person. The wolf has got an eeling to let the wolf eat my child so it won't go hungry. Think that'd happen? One would hope. Social Darwinism would be a nice thing here, especially with the dunderheads, but you know that all of a sudden when it would be them, it would be important. If it's you, you're an acceptable casualty. We know exactly what the Shasters are about, don't we? Yup, exactly. there are real quick and run for the stand this is something i'm gonna bring up because i will buy you know again having done a lot of projects spoken on a lot of college campuses but around you know again the institute of these institutions guys you gotta remember back in the nineties when the one the soviets were coming in especially with the hyper equal freaks for coming in with the clinton east is it wasn't really much better with the bush heights but you know either one but the clinton east is especially one of the things that comment that was in bogue on the college campuses If a puppy or a baby fell on the water, that these shysters saved the puppy, but they let the baby drown. That was the invoke statement to make. I was at Berkeley and I heard it there. I was listening to BS and it was going on. It was like that official statement where they hate humanity, they hate humans. But if they were at a pool party, and a puppy or a human baby fell in the water that they would save the puppy and they would laugh and watch the human baby drown. I heard this at Berkeley, I heard this at the University of Chicago, I heard this at the University of Michigan, I heard this repeated at Michigan State University, I heard this repeated at Eastern Michigan University. First hand, not second hand, somebody said, somebody heard it, I listened, so it was a pattern, just like everything else. This is the insanity of these nutcases, but you've got to remember they're being conditioned through what? The public fool system and the collegiate extension of that, which is not a school of education anymore, but an indoctrination for further Sovietization of idiots that really we don't need around. They're the first ones that should be shoved in the bottom of the pool with a brick on their chest just to get the experience. You know what I mean? Only once, we don't have to worry about them anymore. But that was an invoke statement down over and over again. So as far as the all the wolves got eaten. It's okay if it's your child But all of a sudden if it were there pupa, then it'd be like oh, oh, oh, well they yuppie eco eco freak, you know micro dot is important Yeah, okay, whatever. Well, maybe you guys first and we'll watch and everybody thinks it's a good idea You can throw more of your people But not ours. How's that sound? Go ahead down, please Well, you know, there has to be a balance. We've talked about balance before, the balance between the wolves and the men and children, that child that would even if it ate my child, it must have ate it. Even someone, there is a mentality, exhibit it, oh, you've hit that nail, slobbering the, uh, lies of the planet of the, you know, that's, that's a fantasy for a lot of people because, freaks, why? Because at least people, human beings, wouldn't be in charge of the planet anymore. It'd have to be better. Yeah, right. At any rate, I, I heard a call. And who do we have? Or jump in there. Leap into the phone. Or actually, leap into the microphone now. We got you. Go ahead. Okay, great. Hear me. They're worried. There'll be wolf out there. Farmers are already shooting them. It happened for a second. It's not a joke. Go right ahead. Go right ahead. And another thing is, on animals, a rabbit, the amount of death is going to staggering. People won't even know what they're doing. You'll get anything. Wildlife, food runs low. Oh, we've addressed that. I have said and tried to offer it up as a measure. I know a lot of people in Detroit that say when the do-do to reciprocate advice, they're just going to go north and live off the land. Totally negating the people who already live here, if a third of the population of Detroit moved into Michigan and decided to live off the land, they would denude the land of meat in about six, no more than eight months. Point out, Robbins. All the possum butts stew would have been eaten. They'd be digging up gophers. They're so dependent on a food delivery system and most people are so unaware of that. Call her too and stay right there because we're going to the bottom of the arm break. Donny you'll be able to stick around and you gotta go. Thanks. Don you're gonna be here? I'm here. Yeah, I'll be here till the top. Okay. Well we're going to break then. Okay you guys give us a three minutes but find a paper and pencil because you need these numbers. We'll be right back.

Well, literally it was like a carpet of carnivores sweeping whole areas. I came across this spot. The first time I found out about this was I was on a tactical operation on the west side of the state over here in Fort Custer. And I was walking along one of the closed down roads because they blocked in a whole area back in World War II. It was like 10 years after World War III. All the buildings are still there, the old foundations. The roads are still there, the old road signs are rotting in place, the telephone poles are rotting and melting in place. And I looked up ahead and I couldn't figure out what I was looking at on the road. So I walked closer and I'm looking down and this was just after the snow had thawed, you know, the snow and the big thaw had gone. and you've got flat grass and everything's gray. They came up and there was this splotch of fur. It was like a burst, like an explosion of fur. And in the middle, there was this absolutely picked clean. I didn't know what it was at first until I got closer, started looking at it, and it was a woodchuck. And Mr. Woodchuck had been stupid enough to be one of the first ones to come out. He literally was laying there, absolutely devoid. There were no insects, there was no bugs, it's too cool. He was devoid of all flesh, all muscle. The only thing left was cartilage holding all of his little bones together. He was on his back just, and I realized it's like I have never seen this before. So I go another high, old quarter mile cross country and I see this spot in a ravine and it was a, it looked like fur, but it was fur for a hundred feet in all direction. And as I got closer, I realized, you know, not too close, it was like a deer, like you were seeing the fur of a deer, but stretched out over a hundred feet. And in the middle, the same thing. This carcass of a deer still held together, the cartilage was still locked together, it was a fresh kill. It was like the Twilight Zone episode. Every possible piece of tissue had been nibbled and eaten off of that deer. I found 15 like that in less than two miles. And that's when I realized it's a good thing I'm carrying a pistol and a good thing I'm a tree climber. This is in an oak tree area. Lots of old oaks, you know, orcid area, rolling terrain, old farmland that have been taken over by the government. So then I hear about a news, I'm over there on that side of the state. Turns out all the DNR finally acknowledged it because two DNR officers were out patrolling in that area and one of the packs came across them and they used up all their ammunition trying to kill them. And they didn't kill them all. In fact, the things just kept attacking. It was like a zombie episode. The dogs just kept attacking. The guns didn't scare them. And so now that the DNR officers were threatened, oh now it was important before when these people said there's packs of dogs out here, oh you're crazy, oh just shut up. And this was the DNR doing this. So the DNR knew what was going on. But part of the eco freak agenda was to, you know, again, denude the land. Anything in this carpet, and it turned out there was about, there were at least five different packs like this that they knew of already and weren't telling anybody. Now if your child got out there, because there were people that had disappeared, But if your child's out in the back 40 when this happened, do you think your child would have had any chance at all? Not. Oh, you wouldn't even, you wouldn't even have heard the scream. That dog, those dogs would have been on him like, whoa, whoa, whoa. He'd be just like a carpet, like you said, a carpeted piranha. And I am sure that that's what happened, because children had disappeared in the area, women had disappeared in the area. It doesn't mean there aren't rapists and other things out there. There was a rapist, a pseudo rapist over there at the same time who killed nine women already. There was a black guy from Battle Creek and he killed nine women he picked up at one point or another, etc., etc. But there were other people that disappeared. And they're not going to talk about this because this isn't in line with their politically correct agenda. Now, eventually what did they do? They put an open season and they had groups and groups and groups of people that for two years, even with hundreds of people hunting these dogs, it took two years to decimate those packs. And that's under normal conditions with good healthy environment and lots of people with we don't live that lot. Yeah. But they went out they wiped them out but it took time. Now here's the thing we got coyotes and the same thing is happening you've got domestic dogs breeding with they've been grabbed up emails and pull them in the pack. That's the next step. And like you said domestic animal that domesticated animals don't have that fear of man. They some are more scared of guns than others. But as the DNR officers found out, shucking out every round they had, they still couldn't kill enough of them and ended up hiding in their vehicle and waiting for the swarm to finally go away, you know, for them to drive because they wanted to count them and they were on the radio and people were coming to help and finally the swarm dissipated. There's an example right there. So if everybody says, oh, I don't think I'll tell you I'll tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt and I've seen what it's like when they roll through the areas guys, so you'd better be ready for this and it's another reason we have weapons Wednesday you also better make sure that everybody's armed because everybody's gonna have to contribute to the defense when the time comes to Of course on the other thing guys consider this when they do come out of the city The dogs won't bear any better than the mice or the rats will That's right Anyway, caller, good point there. Thank you for bringing that up. Yeah, I heard dogs good eating. I don't know. I'm not ready to eat. It's called a Korea Kiyoshi, a little black dog with rice. Remember that, sweet rice. Oh, there you go with the num num num. It's kind of like black heifer, only small black heifer. Look at it that way. The small black actually, black Angus. Look at this tiny black Angus and you'll do fine. There you go. Thank you sir. Take my call. Oh you're welcome. God bless. And we have another caller down. Who do we have? George from Texas. Oh yes. That's a good one. I'll tie that in. In Michigan, for those of you who don't know this in the last year, they have now made it official. There is an open season in both the Upper and Lower Peninsula in every county of the state of Michigan on feral pigs. And in every county of the state of Michigan, they have now killed feral pigs. Yup. Feral pigs are wild pigs, guys. And everybody goes, well no, that's, and we're talking Wayne County, we're talking all the way across to the bottom of the state on the west side, all the way to the Upper Peninsula. Every county in the state of Michigan has now killed feral pigs, and in some, a lot more than anybody even imagined. You get a horn reformer or a sow, that'll kill it. Especially since, remember, the non-domestic pigs have not been detusked. If you don't know what a wild pig looks like, I suggest you go find some pictures and it'll help you to understand. But they're just little piggies from the farm! They ain't real birds. Go ahead George, what do you got for us, sir? Also too, it's more like with all the cucks on the local government, we got no animal control. And believe me, I scare up a lot of male cats. I might have to start shooting them because water just don't work no more. Well, one of the other solutions there is people hair or dog hair. Anybody who's got a dog shop where they clip dogs? I do this all the time. What you do is go to your fair... For instance, you got coyotes in an area. Let me give you a little hint, one of the ways to route them so you can terminate them later. Go to your barber and tell him at the end of every day you're going to pick up the hair, you know, to put in a garbage bag. Don't throw any paper or other junk in it, but we'll take all the human hair you can put in a garbage bag. Go walk out for a half mile or two and just spread that stuff out, get some gloves, and spread the hair out every day in certain areas. It's going to be fresh, it's got human scents, it's going to have human perfume on it, you know, the perfumes and stuff. And trust me, the predators realize That's you, mon, and where they can avoid you, mon, they will. So you can actually route your targets into an area. Now the same is true with any of the other feral animals that are little predators. Take and go to your dog clipping areas where you people, you know, put everything from poodles to rottweilers to whatever, or, you know, whatever breed they just happened to have in that day. Have them save the hair up. And what you do is you can put, now there's two techniques, one is to spread it. Now remember it's not going to last as long, but if you keep doing this religiously every so many days, you know, trust me, it's going to, if the bad guys, the critters are going to think twice. The other trick is to take a nylon sock. You know get the girls in fact do go to the neighborhood. Hey, you got any old can you give me favors save up your nylon your your nylon pantyhose for me Please and they're gonna say oh he's a pervert no no no what you want is you're gonna use those as natural breathing socks For putting the dog hair or the human hair in what you do is you load it up about a fist worth and tie off the top. You can cut it however long you want. You can use either the sock to tie it to a branch of a tree or a bush or you can take a piece of cordage and tie it up. And what this does is it creates set bags. and you will find that they will last for a good long time. The predator socks like that with the scent bags with the dogs kind of keep the other critters away because they don't want to get chewed on. But again, you've got to be religious about that because they're only going to last so long depending on the environment. The oils and the natural moisture that's in the material is going to only last for a certain period of time. Now when it rains, it's reactivated. But you're not getting much rain down there in Texas, so you've got to figure you're going to have to just be religious about doing this every so often. And you can use the water to rehydrate it. Just walk along with a little bit of water, a gallon or half gallon, sprinkle some water on it, and that reactivates the hair bags. Sounds weird, works just fine. Works in gardens, by the way, too, for our guys that are listening or wondering, how do I keep some of the other critters away? You use hair bags. Another thing is radios. Solar powered radios or radios that work on minimal power. Doesn't that be much notice? Remember animals have better hearing. So if you're trying to keep things away, you take high tech and use it in your low tech environment. How do you like that? So again, people here and canine here help a great deal. That's one of the techniques George. I got a male cat that's unneutered and you know, all the male cats around here are unneutered and they just love to fight for territory. Food involved. Also too, we got a possum problem out here too. And you know... Well we got some music. I'm sending some tapes to Joe out there. We're going to have to... We're going to play them in the morning. This is the music I grew up with and I don't want to ruin it yet but we got a beautiful possum song for everybody. So... You eat possum? It's a possum song. It's a possum song from the depression era. So I think you're probably already guessing what the subject matter is. No possum goes to waste, okay? You can eat possum, yes you can. Well, the big thing is you've got to watch that then because you put the predator scent. Like I said, you may use it to channel the aggressive animals out and to keep your other animals happy because, again, the deer, although it's interesting, deer are not stupid. We have a deer population here that's being decimated by the coyotes. Well, the deer are smart enough to figure out that if they get in close to where humanity is, they're not being chased by the coyotes as often and they're not being attacked during their rest cycle. So, what's interesting is the deer will come right in next to the properties here, whereas the coyotes then have to try to figure out whether or not it's safe to, you know, play predator close to the two-legged prey, you know, slash predators. So, what's happened is because of the predators. So, again, the big thing is to balance it out, create an anti-predator line. in the real estate, the area you're in and understand that most of the animals that are trying to protect themselves or are looking for a defense area, that in reality they'll figure out what that is pretty soon. You can do it a number of different ways. Lead channels that are open. They'll just run a solid line of the stuff we're talking about. I use everything from cans. I do can shakers, the whole nine yards. In the natural environment, tin doesn't exist. And tin, metal, we gotta remember, the predator has sensitized hearing. They hear tin or metal knocking, they know it's not natural and that creates a fight or flight scenario for them. So there's a lot of neat tricks you can use and we know the wind blows, pink, pink, pink, pink, pink. Now the way to do this, Mark, I need to do a video on some of this stuff. I haven't done anything on this, but you save all your cans that you're going to recycle, you're going to. You're going to use them for tools. Save up either old coat hangers or wire or fence wire or telephone wire somebody else has thrown away, although copper is copper. I hate wasting that. But cordage. Now I take a nail. Oh well, first of all, take your cans, find the cans that fit inside each other. A tomato sauce can will fit inside a small soup can. A small soup can will fit inside a big soup can. A big soup can will fit inside, and only a big, big one like the super camples. I'm talking about there are two sizes of zip-top cans. or whatever. Now the Zip Top or the Modern Cans are best considered. They're forged like a bell. They're done from one piece of metal. Has everybody noticed this? You actually have a really unique piece of material to work with. Most people have been ignoring this, these cup type cans. Guys, those are stressed metal. Right off the bat, they have more utility use for a number of projects. Well, they make a great bell, by the way. So what you do is one can fits inside the other. The large soup can will fit inside a vegetable can. The vegetable can will sit inside a medium-sized vegetable can. Medium-sized vegetable can will sit inside a peach can. Peach can will sit inside a high-sea juice can, or tomato juice can. You know what you got? You got a series of bells that will fit one inside the other. and what you do is you poke a hole center a point in the middle of each of the cans. Take yourself buttons, go to the resale shops or places or make using pieces of wood. You can make a dowel. You notch the dowel in the middle so it has a little bit of a space, you know, place for you to wrap around your cordage. Now you put one can inside the other, you cut each of the cords, cable or string so that each of the cans overlaps by a little bit so the top of one can will tink into the bottom slash the bell open end of the other can. Now the last cord, last piece of cable that goes through, I usually daisy chain this so it's all one piece, is longer because you're going to use the long end piece that goes through the top of the biggest can as your tie off to make your noisemaker to hang out in the middle of nowhere. Now there's two techniques you can use for this. You can let it hang and let wind in nature, which means you want a supple branch to move. So, you think it makes noise when the wind moves or something passes through it. You could also use this as an anti-personnel, shall we say, alarm, in that you can run a fish line down through the bottom of the can, the bottom last can, tie it to that, tie it to your little hanger made out of a piece of dowel, a piece of stone, or a button. and run that across a path that you know somebody will probably move through. And what you've got is a pull alarm, just like the old pebbles in the can everybody saw in the old World War II movies and the barbed wire. You can make a sound alarm that works the same way with these devices. And it's going to make a whole lot of racket. They try to detangle themselves. They're going to be pulling on it. If you want to be mean, I use treble hooks on the line that goes across the path. You're not going to get off it. You know what I mean? Mr. Trouble Hook stuck in your leg becomes very, very, very painful and you want to get rid of it. You start moving more. If you don't know which direction the line's running in, especially at night, then ka-ding-ching-chong-chong-chang-chang-chang-chang-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong-chong- See, so there's a lot of cheap tricks that are all from the recycling bins guys all the junk that everybody else throws away That's why you never throw away string and cordage or old steel wire and cabling and stuff Why well make a bucket throw it all in there pull it out when you need it and use the trash and that way you're not gonna cry if something happens to oh my god They took my junk See how that works. Oh my god. They took my junk. Who cares? It's junk You make all your nasty things and your booby traps from somebody else's debris so you're not spending money. You might have to spend a few minutes to get the job done, but you're not spending money. Okay, so George, there's a bunch of techniques. Remember, predators don't like tiki tiki noises because they can't be sure what it is. They don't like human smell, and for little predators and other creatures, if you want to keep them away from guards and stuff, Mr. Fido and both the human hair and dog hair are your friend. Sound good? Yes, also too, you're talking about feeding predators. When I lived in Florida, it was a little bit bitter, a little bit different because we had bears and alligators. I used to hear about people from Massachusetts, they go feed the alligator in the lake. And everybody knew you don't feed the alligators. As soon as that family fed them, we had to have them tracked and taken out of there. Same thing with bears. Wait, wait a minute. Uh-huh. I guarantee that those alligators, they taste real good there with the black pepper now. Hold on here. I ain't hauling the alligator away. I might be chopping him up for sake. Uh-huh. I ain't going to guarantee that I ain't gonna be letting him go. I mean, I mean, yeah. Well, I know. Yeah, most of it's like a pet. No, he's a reptile. Pretty tasty though. Oh, look. I've never heard snake taste pretty good too. I'll tell you what, and this is a fact, you're down there in Texas, I used to serve a lot of guys from Texas, and we killed, I killed a timber, a timber atler when I was down at Fort Benning. and the thing was over six feet tall. Actually, I was the only one, everybody pitched in to kill this thing, right? And I came and said, you know, we just finished up on it, you know, because it kind of waddled away and somebody tracked it down. Well, I said, well, where is it? So I went and I got it. And it was, it was, it had to be about six and a half, maybe almost seven feet long, because I could stretch my arm out over my head and it would not touch the ground. And I'm six feet tall. So you figure with my arm reaches beyond that, about a foot and a half. Okay, that's all, I got long arms. Anyway. Word spread in the unit when I was down there that I had this rattlesnake. And the only people that hunted me down were all these guys from Texas. from three different directions. It's like, you gonna do anything with that snake? And it's like, well, actually, I took it right into the back of the top, the CP, and there was this girl at one of the communications boards, and she looks at me, and there's a table right in the middle. I flopped this snake down there real quick, and I pulled out my knife, and I'm gutting it right there, and she's like, whoa! And I said, don't worry, it's dead. We're gonna have it, it'll be gone in a minute. Well, even as I was gutting it, the first Texan showed up, and he goes, you gonna eat that snake? It's like well, I was thinking about it, but why you know so I know how to cook it of course then another guy showed up coming down the trail from one of the other tactical Deployments and that time it took for me to skin it I had three people I said why don't you guys all pitch in I'll tell you what this is a big snake this plenty to go around So I kept the skin which I could I stretched across an M 151 Ford Mutt that snake was big enough of the tail would touch the one fender on the driver's side and the head strung across to the other side hungover That's how big and how long that snake was but you know who showed up the Texicans in fact there were all kinds of ideas of how they were gonna cook it one wanted to do a slow cook manifold cook where you take the pan put it out of the manifold of the deuce or the you know the Jeep and Get the water boiling that way and cook it on the motor But the others are like no, no we'll start a fire. I know what to do So I kept the skin and we got some we got some barbecue snake later what we got so Yeah, we're good trust me I know there's a lot of things we have around here, squirrels too. Some people say squirrels, you don't really get much of a meal out of them. Oh hell, I'll tell you what, I've had so many squirrels, I can't count them all. In fact, that's one of the, again, we have black squirrel, gray squirrel, we've got red squirrel, I think we've got all flavors of squirrel in Michigan, don't we? Left and right. That's what the 22 is called a game getter for. All of these games we're talking about, there isn't anything that can't be eaten, it's just a matter of knowing how to cook it. Many animals have what are basically stink veins as they're called, you gotta know how to dress the animal. Woodchuck is most common where people make a mistake and they go, I ate Woodchuck, that tastes right. Well it's because you didn't know how to clean it. If you know how to deal with each of the animals because each has a unique metabolism and know what is a bottomless special. Mark is speaking from unique experience with the woodchup. How long did that smell the house up? Oh, I'll tell you, I was... And you couldn't drown it in enough barbecue sauce. and again i was with everybody was i said well i would have a guy's agent of too late in fact uh... we still have a funny using the different weapons to see if we could get which are because you see what checks are not stupid animals i mean once they realize some of those bullman somebody falls dead the rest of the which are usually catch up if asked but one of the things i really enjoyed trying to do was which are coming with a forty five ninety eleven down the white dot has the shoulder bolster their weapons west And the big challenge of that is, remember that's not a fast moving round. So the idea is to catch them unawares, wait till they got their little heads creamed to over the height of the grass, and so it's tack driving time. So you got to engage at typically an intermediate range to long range, and the idea is to see if action can hit them. Now if you hit them. You got him. It's that 45 slug. We'll put a woodchuck down first time every time, trust me. But we cleared out a couple of the fields since the east field had a real problem with woodchucks, so we had to. We brought many friends in and we practiced rifle and pistol marksmanship at extreme range for quite some time. What about the wild rabbits? I heard here in Texas, you can't kill wild rabbits in the summer because of the worms. You have to wait until winter. Well that depends. First of all, remember as a basic survival food, rabbit is usable, but you've got to eat other things with it, you've got to have bats with it too. Now seasonally you do have to know your breed and animal because like you said, if there is a worm problem, we don't want to be passing that on to the people. So that's a survival issue. Pay attention with the neighbors, with what the natives say. Okay, I'll tell you what, George, we've got to let you go, sir. We're at the top. Thank you, George.
