The Bill Myers Show podcast is sponsored by Klausur drilling. They've been leading the way in Southern Oregon well drilling for over 50 years. Find out more about them at Klausordrilling.com. 7 o'clock, flag you're here. 770563. Mr. Outdoors will join me here in just a little bit. There was a part of family dynamic. You know, I didn't have time to talk with Dr. Gilda Carl about this,

but I had a friend talking to me about how everything within the sick American culture, maybe it's just not America, but Western culture seems to be about breaking up family formation and breaking up families in general. I'm going to share a story coming up. I don't know if it's going to be, you know, right away, maybe after Mr. Altours, but about how the push is to break grandparents away

from families and helping put up roadblocks, I guess, for grandparents being part of their children and their grandchildren. families. It's fascinating, and the state of Oregon seems to have a role in doing this in the Woke Department of Human Services. There's a lot of this, this, this, this, this wokeness going on here still. We go to Francine. Francine, happy New Year. It's great to hear from you. What's on your mind this Friday?

Well, thank you, Bill. Happy New Year to you. Yeah, we've all missed you very much. This is a long time to go without our bill. I missed you. I missed you, too. I have to tell you, though, it was nice to have some contiguous time. Oh, I bet. And like I said, I did nothing important other than, you know, the family things and, you know, doing the things for Christmas. And, you know, we had a quiet new year. Yeah. And, and like I said, I'm sitting there on my workbench and I'm working on old broadcast equipment and it's just like, it's total nonsense. It doesn't mean anything, but it was, it was therapeutic for me. I loved it. So it was great.

Cool. Well, I'm really, you deserve it. You work hard all year. Although, I don't know. I may have too much lead in my body right now after playing with a soldering gun too much over vacation. That's probably not good. Anyway, what are you thinking today? What's on your mind, huh? Well, I was calling in response to your conversation with Dr. Gilda. And, you know, the parallels between what's going on now, even though the approach is slightly different.

It's just like the women's live back in the 60s. It's part of the same style. Yeah, it's almost like totally inverted, right? Same kind of thing. Well, I mean, yeah, it's not even really inverted. I mean, they're doing this whole thing, like empowering women kind of thing and making women, you know, pull. It's just part of the destruction of family, which is a really important part of the, you know, the big communist regime that they want to put in there because they don't want people to be loyal to their own family to their, children and their husbands and their grandparents, they want them to be loyal to the state.

Yes, because the state is, well, the state is tender and loving. Oh, God, yes, yes. We love our state. Especially in the state of Oregon, very tender and kind and, you know, it always, it just, it loves us. And I can't even say this anywhere. I'm going to start laughing, so anyway. I know.

But, see, that's the thing is, this isn't simply natural. There's always going to be women who are dissatisfied. There's going to be men who are dissatisfied. True. What they're doing is they've pumped this up, you know. They, like, you know, a few years back when they started getting all these white women to run around with Black Lives Matter signs. I mean, it's just, it's all a big sci-up, and it's been an ongoing sci-up, and they just keep, you know, putting new, new, you know, screwing new things into the. Oh, okay.

Well, then, can we find out who is in charge of the sci-op then? maybe just apply a little bit of French revolutionary justice to them. You know, the guillotine still work. What do you say? It's going to be hard because these people, they have so much money, the plans they have for the rest of the world. I mean, okay, I'm going to go into my longtime conspiracy theory here. I'll try and keep it brief.

Okay. All right. Well, there was no conspiracy theory Thursday, so you'll have to make it today. That's right. That's right. Not for two weeks in a row, really, you know. So we have one before. Anyway, it's okay.

There are people who have been running things for a very long time. These people have more money than anybody could possibly need or use or whatever. And they all play different roles. Some of them stay, you know, very well hidden, et cetera, et cetera. But they have been running things for a long time. And they have their underlings that are like, you know, the lords of the manner that, you know, used to have, what was it, that right to come in and go to bed with the guy's first wife when they first got married. There's been people like this forever.

You know, people that are better than the rest of us. And these people want to rule the world. And society has been, you know, we're easy to fool. And we're easier to fool now that ever because of technology. Technology has made it so easy. Yeah, the conditioning, especially Internet, social media. It's, people are much more accessible than it would be once were. They're more accessible, and they've made it so that we have this addiction.

to media, and we believe media. We watch it so much, and it's a form of brainwashing, just pound the same thing into people's head over and over and over again. Well, to your point, though, about that there are always very power-hungry people here, and I have wondered if so much of what we see as the sci-op, as you call it, the psychological off against the people here, is that is due to the fact that there's not that big a between the way a typical elite person is able to live, other than the fact they just have a lot more money.

But it's not like everybody else is living in a hut. You know what I mean? It's, you know, to be just a regular person in the United States, even if you're kind of poor, even of modest means, we're able to live reasonably well by historical standards. And I'm wondering if that's almost one of the reasons why the really the real elite, It's like, you know, unless we can control your mind and control the power, then what's the point of being an elite? I have no purpose, right?

I'm an elite person, you know? That's what they're doing. They're controlling everything. And their ultimate goal, this is, you know, from all the reading and research and whatever I've been doing for the past, you know, 25 or so years, they want the world as their private playground, their private place. There's too many people. They don't need a thing. Yeah, which is why they're fine to break up. part family formation. They're fine with declining birth rates. They're fine with declining population

because it's fine. All right. And then, of course, then you have AI pushing it and you're going to have the robots do the work for them, right? Right. I mean, okay. The AI is driving me crazy, by the way. I cannot, I cannot engage in a conversation on the phone or whatever with an AI. I start losing it. I have to tell you, I'm getting to the point where I almost can't watch YouTube any longer because about 80% of it is now is now faked up stuff. But that's a conversation. I've given, I've given up. Yeah, that's a conversation for another time. Thank you and happy New Year. Great call. A little bit of a conspiracy theory Friday. Okay. All right. 770 KMED. Happy to do this. All right. KMEDE HD1, Eagle Point, Medford, KBXG grants pass. We'll catch up

with Fox News. I think Mr. Outdoors will be around here. Hopefully he didn't get too hungover out of New Year's celebration. I don't know, but we'll find out. 3633, that's 770 KMED. Here's Bill Meyer. Happy New Year's to Mr. Outdoors. Well, maybe the artist formerly known as Mr. Outdoors. Now he's what sings with wolves. Isn't that right, Greg? Welcome back. Good to have you on. Yeah. Yeah, no. As of Wednesday morning, the new name was born. And, you know, like everybody, I've been watching the reports out of what's going on with Butte Falls. And, of course, eight years on Jackson County Wolf Committee, including being the original chairman of that committee, certainly had been, you know, well involved in what was going on here.

But reports out of Butte Falls from the ranches up there from people that I know very well. So I didn't think they were embellishing anything or making things up, some of which just didn't square with scientific reality or at least... Now, when you're talking about not squaring with it, because there's been the talk of growing wolf herds, rather, and predation going on with ranchers, right? That wasn't it. It came down to two main things. I kept hearing repeatedly and then saw the video that I posted from one of those ranches that the wolves up there have lost their fear of humans. Oh, okay. And I still had a hard time understanding how that could possibly be true. And then the second thing I was hearing was just the sheer numbers of them in such a concentrated area. Did you want me to play those clips you sent me? Huh?

You want me to play those clips you sent me? Well, in just a second, because I want to finish setting this up. So anyway, I started talking with the daughter of the rancher who's just been getting hit the hardest, Ron Anderson's daughter. And she said, look, come on out to the ranch. I'll take you out and I'll show you around. So decided, okay, I'm going to do this. But while we're out there, there's a couple of things. I may try, one of which may actually get a big response from the wolves. So I went up there

armed myself and then had a backup safety man, my buddy George, just in case. So we met Amy at the ranch, and then I heard about a detail of an incident I was totally unaware of that hadn't been reported. And that was the wolf killed a calf at their ranch, literally in the front yard of the main house at the ranch with her dad right there. Wow. She showed me where her dad was standing. She showed me where the calf was killed right in front of him and where the wolf was. Bill, we're talking within 20 yards.

And once again, that is definitely no fear of humans. No fear whatsoever. And I'm like, okay, so we jump on her UTV and we start driving out this road that takes you to the back of the ranch on the way out. She's pointing out all the places where they've seen wolves, where they're seeing wolves, where they've lost animals. It was a lot. It probably, in terms of the number of animal predation things that we collected from people in the eight years, I was on the wolf committee to get them compensation for their animals lost, it exceeded that number in eight years, just one ranch.

Okay. Yeah. Let that sink, Kim. So there is truly a wolf problem, in other words. Oh, there's no... A major wolf problem. We come around this bend in the road, and we're looking at this big meadow slash pasture at the back of the ranch.

Amy had told us not even 30 minutes before, while we're going to... we're talking at the ranch. We have not been seeing the wolves here lately because we moved all of our animals to California for safety. There isn't a cow on that ranch right now unless it's a straggler that manages to come in from the high country. So she also wanted to check to see if that might be the case. So we jump on the UTV. We get to the back of the ranch. We get to this big meadow pasture area. we look up, there's three wolves running across that thing, heading to the timber on the opposite side, two were standard color, one was a black one. I bailed out of that UTV and started moving up behind them, but, you know, they were gone. They disappeared from view pretty quickly.

I was actually kind of happy to see that because the reports I was getting from people and Amy showed me proof with video and cell phone pictures. These things have been standing their ground with people. They wouldn't run. They just stare at them. And I'm like, okay, well, at least these three were moving off. Okay. So I, you know, realizing I'm never going to catch them, they're up there in that timber.

I stopped, and then I did, and you can play clip one. Okay, this is with you doing the howl, doing the call, right? Okay, so I hope this will come through, okay? Okay. Let me try this again. Let me try this again. Yeah. Try that again.

That's pretty good call. Yeah, I practiced that. Okay. Now play number two. Okay. This is the answer. Yep. Okay.

Here comes the answer. You know, that doesn't sound like You know, that doesn't sound like just a handful of wolves out there, Greg. That was the whole pack erupting, and I get goosebumps again, just listening to that. I had never, ever. And you can hear my howls. You hear it clearly in the first one. You hear me howling in the second one, and it prolonged them howling.

I've never had a response back like that from the entire pack. And this is up in the Butte Falls area. This is in the Butte Falls area where you were doing this, right? This is literally, if people are familiar with the Butte Falls area, this is at the end of Rancheria Road, where it splits to go up on Forest Service Road 32, or you can go straight, which is known as the Watershed Road, because it takes you out into the city of Medford Watershed. This is right there. And I was just blown away.

I had never, ever had a response like that. They were maybe 400 yards away from me, and you should have heard it in person. the woods were ringing with the howls of the wolves, and I'm turned around, and I'm looking at Amy, and I'm looking back at George, and I'm just, wow, I was elated. I was kind of pumping my bed. Well, yeah, I mean, that's all great. I mean, so you're able to call, and you get this big response. What does this mean then when it comes to, you know, our issue with wolves, though? What is it telling us? is why, I guess. Well, it's telling us we've got an incredible amount of wolves out there. That was definitely driven home because when we left the ranch, we went into Bute Falls, stopped at the Sugar Pine Cafe. You got to do that. If you're in Bute Falls, you've got to stop there, okay? That's just the

rule. And it was full of people, and we had an impromptu wolf town hall. Every single person in Bute Falls has a wolf encounter story now, and then when people heard what we had, because we played it on the cell phones, they started showing us their pictures, their videos. And then another rancher that I know very well, extremely well, good friend. He was part of the Lager militia that saved Butte Falls from the open chain fire. He came in. And then later, he sent me even more stunning pictures and video from his property. And it's just the major issue out here, and I found out something I did not know that's been concealed from the public, but they all know, when I was on Jackson County Wolf Committee,

we reached a point where it was allowed for people to haze wolves by chasing them on horseback and UTV, firing guns over them. Right. You can't do that anymore. You can't. Why not? No. Because when we got the change in administration to the totally failed incompetent one, one of the things they did was, well, they went and changed everything they didn't like about natural policy issues. That's one of the things they changed. We also had reached the point here in Jackson County where wolves that were in the act of attempting to kill livestock or had killed livestock on your property, you could shoot them. That's gone. You can't do anything but throw dirty words at them right now. Okay, no, wait a minute. So if a wolf in my front yard is, well, is chewing on, okay, if they're chewing on a human,

you can shoot and kill the wolf, right? A human life safety issue is different. But other than that, everything else is fair game then for the wolf? If you're calf and your front yard not 60 feet in front of you, Nothing you can do. Now, is this an ODF and W deal or a federal rule? Federal. But, of course, Oregon's Oregon.

And so everybody's going, de-list the wolves. De-lis the wolves. That's going to help. Well, I know that's what Congress and Benson Benson-Benz has been pushing a lot and working to. But what it actually does, it's an administrative thing. It takes the federal government out of administration and then turns it over to the states. Oh, my gosh. So if the state's going to administer the wolves, then it'll be the, it'll be Disneyland, right?

It'll be the Disneyland Wolf program. Okay. All right. Oh, boy. We're talking with Greg Roberts this morning, Mr. Outdoors. Of course, the Outdoor Report this time, I guess a lot of Wolf reporting this time around. It's sponsored by Oregon Truck and Auto Authority on Airway Drive and Medford. Greg, hold on, and we'll grab a call or two about this.

I think people want to ask a question and dig more in on this on the Outdoor. report. The special one. First one of 2026. Hi, this is Cassie with Clauser Drilling.

Hey, Greg, I guess when it comes to the outdoor sports, there's not much to report on because ski ashlands is going to be. shut down until we get some snow, right? Any thoughts on that changing anytime soon, and then we'll get to some phone calls. Yeah, the good news is the snow is going to return. It's going to happen over the weekend going into next week. Same thing is true at Mount Shasta. And Mount Shasta, while they certainly have a lot more snow, it's the warm temps and the rain that we're seeing right now is creating an unsafe snow surface. It just, it is. It's not, it's not a a lot of people want to ride on anyway. So Mount Shasta has also paused operations, but there is a

winter storm warning up down there in Susquee County that includes Mount Shasta ski park. And expectation is we will be measuring off snow in feet again, starting this weekend and then going through most of next week, actually, as it looks the way the storms are lining up. So last week, right ahead of Christmas, they had no snow on Monday. And then day after Christmas, they were able to open, actually, I'm sorry, on Saturday after Christmas, they were able to open just about all of the entire mountain because at the top of Douglas, they got three feet of snow. And the data said one to five feet of snow at ski park elevation, and they landed right in the middle of that. So we're going to be able to get both mountains open back up.

The real shame here is in what happened to Mount Ashland. They essentially had three days of only being able to operate, the sonnet chair, Lithia chair, their carpet surface lift, and that was it. But at least they got three days in. We had a couple of years ago. They couldn't get open at Christmas vacation at all. But then when they did open, record numbers of people showed up and kept showing up, and it wound up being a good year for them.

So I'm going to hope this year will mirror that. All right, very good. All right. We were talking about the wolves and the predation and Butte Falls. And now, Vicki, you talked with Greg before about your goat. You had a goat predation, a goat death from your yard. I remember you telling us about that. but there's a question you didn't ask Greg before.

You had already talked with him about this. Go ahead. Right. Well, happy New Year, Greg. Always great to talk to you again. You too, Vicki. Well, my question is, I know that we touched on when they start kind of running out the males and some of the females wander to make their own pack.

I know that I believe Butte Falls is only about 50 miles from Medford, isn't it? Well, where this is happening on this ranch, it would probably be, I'm going to do my exact calculation here, it's probably 40, I'm going to say 44 miles out of Medford Northeast. Close enough. All right. Okay. My question is, and I honestly, I can't remember if I asked this when I talked to you last month, but what is their normal range that they track? I heard it was like 100 miles. Is that accurate or no? Well, it'll kind of depend on if we're talking about a wolf that is dispersing, meaning traveling,

or are we talking about wolves that are in their territory? And it's two entirely separate things. I mean, O-R-7, one of the great things about having the satellite callers that contract them, you get a sense of just how much wolves are traveling. traveling, especially in the dispersal, because, you know, honestly, nobody knew until we started putting on the callers that could track them. How far could a wolf go? Well, we now know, because while it may be hard for our human minds to get around, the fact is a dispersing wolf can travel up to 200 miles in a 24-hour period, because OR7 actually did that multiple times.

And no, 200 miles, it's like a 8, 7, 8 mile an hour trot over 24 hours. Yeah. Yeah, and people, even if they're not running flat out, I don't think people have any concept of how fast wolves can move on the landscape fast to us, which isn't anything but a nice, steady pace to them. People just have no concept. The three wolves we saw on Wednesday morning, while they were, quote, running. away from us, they certainly weren't at top speed, but they were moving along and a pretty decent clip. Luckily for me, that gave me the chance to really eyeball them. They were all two to three-year-olds between 100 and 120 pounds. So when she's asking, I know what she's

getting at, they're still having a very hard time believing both what ODF and W told them and what I told them, especially her husband, I truly don't think it was wolves involved in the attack on their goat because, number one, the goats survived. And number two, it's far more likely it was coyotes out there, and coyotes can be multiple sizes, including really big, or we may even have hybrids that somebody have... Yeah, hybrid coyotes, that makes sense. Yeah, I don't, I don't think, well, the goat did not to survive ultimately, the goat ended up dying, you know, in the end. Okay, from as a result of the injuries, but when wolves attack goats, especially the wolves we have on the landscape

right now, the goats usually don't survive to die later. It's an instant death. On Wednesday, I took a report that it happened just the night before, maybe eight air miles southeast of where we were at when we encountered the pack. They killed a calf and a goat on the same wrench. All right. Very good. All right. Hey, Vicki, appreciate the call on the question here. We'll grab another one here with Mr. Outdoors. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome. Hello. Yeah, my name is Bob. Out in Sam's Valley. Bob, welcome. What's on your mind here about the wolves? I missed the start of this, and I really wanted to. Unfortunately, I slept in a little today,

which is unusual. Don't blame you. I missed. I'm surprised you're here on Friday, Well, did you want to hear the, you want to hear the wolves talking back? Is that what you're hoping to hear? No, no. I have family that lives up in the area where this is all happening, and he had a situation this past few days here, just the last couple of days. And I know, you know, Greg hunts up there in A and B road, and he probably won't tell you the family he's dealing with, but yeah, they had a couple pretty good kills up on their

property just a couple days ago. Actually, I think you are telling names, aren't you, Greg? Yeah, I was blatant about it. I'm sorry, you missed it, Bob. I'm telling people specifically, it is Ron Anderson's ranch. I met with his daughter on Wednesday morning. She took me out and gave me a tour of their ranch. Now, you just said they had a loss a couple days ago.

No, they haven't, but other ranches in the area, including, as I just said, one about eight air mile southeast of Anderson's, lost a calf and a goat overnight on Tuesday. You're talking about my nephew. Okay. That's who I'm talking about, my nephew. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were talking about Anderson. And you know, you know Ted then also.

Yep. Yes, I do. Very well. You know, that's the funny part. So many people are going, you've got to talk to Ted Berzzi. Well, why? I was on Jackson County Wolf Committee with him for eight years. I mean, I know the guy very well.

We've worked on this issue together. I've been working on a project for my nephew that lives up there. He has a large ranch. Yes, he does. He's surrounded by National Force. But, yeah, you were on the Wolf Board, and Ted is still. on it. And I gave my nephew info to contact you

and Ted, which he knows Ted very well, so actually they have already talked to him. So what you're telling this, though, so caller, what you're telling us though? What was your name again? I'm sorry. Bob, it's really easy. Yeah, Bob, that's as easy a name as it comes. And anybody named Bob's a great guy.

Border backwards. Yeah, but the point being, though, is that is it getting to a crisis level for the ranchers and property owners in that area, in your opinion? Oh, I think I agree with Greg, 100%, but before we got to hang up here for a commercial or whatever, what I'm really calling about, I told them, Greg, you said something a week or two

weeks ago, who knows, with the holidays here, that there's a meeting coming up in Butte Falls that they hadn't heard about, or is my missing something there? Well, actually, I think the meeting I was talking about did happen. We had a mix of state legislators, whether they were Oregon State Senate or Oregon House members, and we had representatives from Cliff Benson's office there. They had an impromptu Wolf Town Hall, and they talked to multiple ranchers directly, heard their stories. I've been working at it kind of on the same vein, and I'll tell you what, after we had the experience out there on the Anderson Ranch, going back into Butte Falls and stopping at the sugar pine, and it turned into an impromptu wolf town hall there.

It was further cementing all the things I had been hearing. People started showing me videos and pictures that the wolf behavior, I never dreamed we'd see anything this brazen. But then, when I found out, they had taken away virtually every single thing that these people could do meaningfully to repel the wolves. These things are freaking smart. I would dare say, especially the dominant male of the pack out there causing the biggest problem, he's smarter than most people. They figured out we're not going to do anything to them. When you remove the fear of humans from wolves, you're setting the stage for everything we've seen happen. So this is, well, what you're saying here, Greg, is that ultimately we have to reestablish the fear of humans.

Otherwise, we're just going to be inundated and you're not going to be able to ranch or do anything out there in the rural lands. And so my question, though, who is the controlling authority? Because you were mentioning that you said that delisting wouldn't help and that ODF and W would have. most likely take a Disneyland version of the wolf problem, you know, which animals are our friend. Okay. Because Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, I'll start running off all the states that are controlled by Republicans. They've already made it known. The second delisting happens, and they get control, it literally will become open season on wolves. Now, for all the wolf lovers, and I'll

tell you what, the majority of them are white liberal women who absolutely are in love with these animals in a really perverse way. They think that means all the wolves are going to be exterminated again. They absolutely will not. Idaho and Montana have had hunting seasons, limited ones, four wolves, for the last five years, and the hunters going out, the regular hunters in Idaho, 1% or less success rate, depending on the unit in Montana, 3% success or less depending on the unit. Both states have had to employ hunters using methodology that the regular hunters can't use, specifically using aircraft and denning them.

Yeah, so you have to really work hard to get them. You really have to work hard at this. Okay, great. And let me explain what denning is. Okay, quickly, and then I'm going to take a break. We'll do some more. We'll take some more calls on this. Okay.

Denning is when they find a wolf den and it's occupied by the mother and the pups, and they blow the thing up. Oh. Wasn't aware they did stuff like that? Okay. Yes, they do. All right. Stand by.

We'll be back after news here. The Bill Meyer Show on KMED, 993KBXG. Mr. Outdoors continuing on. we'll have this conversation about the wolf predation, especially in the Butte Falls area. Billy, your gas lights on. We need to stop and fill up. No way, Jen. Gas around here is too expensive. We can make it. Make sure hacc.com. Hi, I'm Jessica from Pickerspon, and I'm on KMED.

Happy New Year. It is 744. Talking with Greg Roberts, digging into the wolf issue, Butte Falls area. Greg, welcome back. We have Jeremy. question or comment on that. How you doing, Jeremy? Welcome. I'm doing well. Thank you. Hey, so I just wanted to clarify on the 200 miles in a day comment. Yeah. That would me, I did just a little bit of math,

and that would mean the wolf would be traveling at 8.3 miles an hour for 24 hours straight. And then from my research, even OR7 only averaged about 30 to 40 miles in a day to get to where it was going. And the 200, that seems like it would be scared a lot of people then here and that they could travel that far. So I just wanted to get it back on them. Okay.

All right, thanks, Jeremy. Oh, crap. Okay, now, calm down. Hey, hey, hey, Greg, Greg, calm down. Oh, no. No, no, no, no. You're not going to abuse... Greg, I love you, babe,

but you're not going to abuse my listeners that call the show with a disagreement with you. It's okay to disagree. Just be calm about this, okay? Well, see, he didn't even listen to what I actually said. I said he did move up to 200 miles in a day. I didn't say he continuously did that.

We had times, and I got that from U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Okay. They told us that. Okay, calm down, though. And it's like, gosh, you know, it's like, you know, just, this is a talk show we can disagree with someone, just set it straight and where you got it. And then it's fine. Okay. Yep. Okay. All right. All right, Jeremy, so that's the answer. So it can move up to 200 miles, but it's not a routine move. Okay? That was a big one. Right? Well, here, I'll shed more light on that.

When he found the roadkill dump on Highway 66 from ODOT, he camped out there for three weeks. Okay. And? Well, all I'm saying is if he wanted to move, he could move. When he found things that kept his interest, especially a food source, he basically camped out and stayed in that area for a while before he would move on. All right. So as we wrap on this, okay, I just have to ask you then, where do we go then for relief on something like this, where we, as I'm talking about the people who are living in the rural

and semi-rural areas that are going to have to put up with this. What is the process in your view? Well, here's the thing. In the decades where the lie was being told to us that we didn't have wolves here, that people were seeing coyotes, dogs, whatever, people were engaging with the wolves by shooting at them, and the wolves had a healthy fear of humans. They were here, but they gave us wide birth. They're not afraid of us anymore.

We have got to reinstill the fear back into them because, honestly, long-term, that's pretty much going to be the best thing that can happen for them to have the fear of humans put back into them. All right. How do you do that if you can't shoot at them? You said that he practically can't do anything with them right now. You are looking at an impossibility without the shooting aspect. It's just like cougars. It's impossible, virtually impossible, to kill a cat without using dogs if you're going out specific for that purpose. Oh, by the way, in the middle of all the noise about wolves, people quit paying attention to the cats,

and a longstanding issue for rural Oregon did actually move forward. forward and it looks like we very well could see the return of hunting for cougars with dogs. Because you really need to be effective, right? Yep, without any question. The science says that. Yeah. Well, I've just tired, though, of state and federal policy. Maybe it's more of a state policy, which says that, you know, being out in the rural areas

means you have to set up buffets for the wild animals. I'm just a little tired of that. Well, I don't know if it's that exactly, but it is definitely. there is an attitude in Salem that everything that's happening of a negative consequence in rural Oregon, we've brought it on ourselves. That mindset is for real in Salem. Okay, fair enough. So there is something that could be done about this.

Do you think that there would be enough of a push that it could become the next fire map issue, as you well remember with Senator, Senator Golden? Here's the thing. There's, the fire map issue, I think, was a little bit different because there was a grounding in reality that all sides, I think, got to the point where they agreed the fire map was ridiculous. The wolf situation, there are people who have flat lost their minds and they're not going to be rational and they will not settle for anything but their own way. And those people have a lot of money and influence in Salem that regardless of what happens with federal

delisting and what's going to happen in other states, I don't know that you will ever get Oregon too much on it. I just, I don't. This is one of those issues where Salem is going to dig their heels in regardless of what the peasants down here are demanding. I hope you're wrong about that, but you could be right. It is 2026. Happy New Year, Mr. Outdoors, sir. sings with wolves, the nickname here on that. And I will, Bill, I'll apologize for my decorum, but I just, that kind of stuff just drives me nuts when people don't even really listen to or absorb what I said. Yeah, I know, I know, but it happens.

It's part of the deal. I just want to, I guess, I want to make sure for 2026 that even someone who disagrees with us feels comfortable calling, okay? I want people to do that way, okay? And I don't mind if they disagree with me. me per se, but when they just flat, totally distort what I said into what they want to say they heard, yeah. Well, no, okay, well, you just say you distort what you heard, that's all.

But anyway, thanks for the report. We'll catch you next Friday, if not sooner, if something else goes on and breaks here, okay? You got it? Okay, for sure. All right. Thanks, Greg Roberts.

You know you're going to enjoy it. diner 662. Okay, let me go to Jerry. Jerry, you're going to be the first up this morning. Hi, Jerry. Hey, good morning.

Morning, Jerry. It was today, January 2nd, 1788, Georgia votes to ratify the U.S. Constitution. Now, it was named after King George II. Georgia first settled by Europeans in 1733 when a group of British debtors led by English philanthropist James Oglethorpe traveled up. of Savannah and established Georgia's first permanent settlement, the town of Savannah in 1742. Now then, let's see. The question, though, for the win, Delaware was the first of the original 13 colonies to join the United States. Where did Georgia fall in order of the 13 original

states? Was it A, the fourth one, B, the sixth colony to join? C, the eighth, D, the 10th, or E, the 13th? What do you say about that? Give me a guess on that. 4, 6, 8, 10, or 13? I'll go with the 6th. You're going to go with the 6th. That sounds pretty good.

No, it's not that one. Jerry, I appreciate you trying. Chris is here? All right, Chris, it's not the 6th. It's 4th, 8th, 10th, or 13th. Where is Georgia in order of the 13 original states? The 10th? The 10th.

The 10th. No, it's not that either. So it's not the 4th and it's not the 10th. So let me go. I'm just scratching these off. Hello, Kathy. How are you? Kathy with a C?

Kathy with a C. Hi. Okay. Where is Georgia in the order of... Let's see. I take that back. So 6th was... So 6th and 10th were chosen.

It's either 4th. Eighth or 13th. What do you say? I'm going to say fourth. They're pretty independent. You're going to say fourth. Pretty independent. They went with it early. Really? You're a winner. Yeah, you got it. Yeah, Kathy. I proved I could answer it correctly, even on the radio, not just at home. See, that's great. So you're the first winner of 2026. I guess, Lauren, you're going to have to try again on Monday.

But anyway, yeah, Georgia became the fourth state in the modern United States. during the war, Georgia was heavily divided between loyalists and patriots. The British soon held most of the state. Savannah, key British base for their southern war operations in the grim four-year occupation by the Brits won many Georgians over to the Patriot cause. They didn't like being under the Brits' thumb. So in 1788, Georgia became the fourth and the first southern state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. So there you go.

Hang on. Kathy, we're going to send you to Diner, 62. It's going to be a great time. right back with you, and we'll do this again this coming Monday, right? 7.58 at KMED. My name is Whitney Allen. I'm a widow. My husband, Ryan. A little blinds.
