Hey American history buffs, hunting history buffs, listen up, we're back at it with another volume of our Meat Eaters American History series. In this edition titled The Mountain Men, 1806-1840, we tackle the Rocky Mountain beaver trade and dive into the lives and legends of fellows like Jim Bridger, Jed Smith, and John Coulter. This small but legendary fraternity of backwoodsmen helped define an era when the West represented not just unmapped territory, but untapped opportunity for those willing to endure some heinous and at times violent conditions. We explain what started the Mountain Man era and what ended it.

We tell you everything you'd ever want to know about what the mountain men ate, how they hunted and trapped, what gear they carried, what clothes they wore, how they interacted with Native Americans, how 10% of them died violent deaths, and even detailed descriptions of how they performed amputations on the fly. It's as dark and bloody and good as our previous volume about the white-tailed deer skin trade, which is titled The Long Hunters, 1761-1775. So again, you can buy this wherever audiobooks are sold. Meat Eaters American History, The Mountain Men, 1806-1840 by Steven Rinoa Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.

I'm your host Spencer Neuarth and today we're joined by Randall, Brody, Max, Alyssa, Reva, Nate, and Corey. This is a 10 round quiz show with questions from MeatEaters for verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. And there is a prize. MeatEater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. And for the stat of the week this week, we're looking at the most common category for question 10.

Randall wasn't satisfied that I only looked at our last 10 episodes to get that stat. So today I present to him a version that looks at our last 30 episodes. During that time, the categories of wildlife, natural history, cooking, and woodsmanship combined to be the final question 27% of the time. Conservation was 13% of the time. Fishing was 23% of the time. And hunting was 37% of the time. Hunting was the final question four more times than fishing in our last 30 episodes, ending this conspiracy that fishing gets more representation

as question 10. Randall. Well, you know what they say. Perception is reality, Spence. But you know what they say, fake news. Well, you know what they say, perception is reality, Spencer. But you know what they say, fake news. Yeah, yeah. I think that just means we need to direct our hate or our frustration towards Brody for just being too good.

That's right. Oh, I've been saying this since day one. What it feels like sometimes, I'll tell you what. Here's our infrequently asked question segment. If you have a trivia related question for our crew, send it to trivia at themedia.com with the subject line I FAQ Matt Lapin says what's the weirdest question someone has sent you?

Matt I would say it's less about like the specifics of what's in the question It's usually more about how it's delivered or when it's sent last night For example, I got five questions sent during the Super Bowl which makes me wonder like what are you doing that you're not in on this like national event of watching the Super Bowl that you're like I'm gonna write an email to you maybe they're inspired were they all questions about nachos no it was totally unrelated it was yeah just like not on that person's radar which is cool I'm glad that we have those listeners What you respond with are you watching this? No, but I sure thought about it. I was like, oh the first one came down

It's like oh another one and then another one five people during the Super Bowl. The other thing is um, I've probably gotten in the history of the meat eater trivia inbox 50 people who have sent me a fax To the inbox, so then what I get is like a piece of paper that someone wrote on, that they then walk to a fax machine and then sent the fax to the trivia at the meateater.com.

That's a really special way. That's amazing. To send me a question. So that's probably the weirdest question were those 50 folks who have sent me faxes. We should do a fax only episode one time. I bet you'd find some commonalities in those questions from the people. There you go.

We've already got the branding. Say it again, Randall. Just the facts. Just the facts. If I knew how to do that, I'd do it all the time. It would be so funny. Sending a fax? Yeah.

Let's get a fax machine for your office, Randall. We'll just fax. Yeah. Yeah. Let's get a fax machine for your office, right? We'll just fax each other. So that's that's the weirdest question people sending me faxed questions. All right, we have some housekeeping for today. I want to tell you about an upcoming event this friday valentine's day The meat eater crew is hosting the grand slam after party at the the NWTF convention in Nashville. Me, Cal, Clay, and Yanis will be there to celebrate turkeys. And at the party, there will be live music and live trivia. The show starts at 8.45 and tickets are on sale now for $40. Come hang with us on the most romantic day of the year,

and you might just get lucky winning a raffle prize. Go to nwtf.org for more details. Masterfully done. Uh, cliffhanger right there. Alright, the Shelby index for today is a five, so I'm putting us on perfect score alert. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil.

Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? You just stand to win everything. Game on suckers! Question 1 the topic is conservation and as always this will be multiple choice. Which of these people does not have a national forest named after them? Is it Davey Crockett, Annie Oakley, Mark Twain, George Custer? Which of these people does not have a national forest named after them?

Is it Davey Crockett, Annie Oakley, Mark Twain, George Custer. Confident Randall and Brody quick to answer. Oh wow. Annie Oakley. Who's calling you Brody? Is it important? Steve. Oh no, not important.

Yeah, hang on. Which of these people does not have a national forest named after them? Davy Crockett, Annie Oakley, Mark Twain, George Custer. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying George Custer. Corey says Annie Oakley. Reva says Annie Oakley.

Randall, Nate, Annie Oakley. I thought it was a trick question, dude. Nate's a recent transplant. Alyssa, Max and Brody all say Annie Oakley. Randall, Annie Oakley. I thought it was a trick question, dude. Nate's a recent transplant. Alyssa, Max, and Brody all say Annie Oakley. They got it. The correct answer is Annie Oakley. Tell Nate why he should know that one. Because it's like we're like how many miles away?

Eastern Montana, probably what, 200 miles. The Davy Crockett National Forest is in Texas. Mark Twain National Forest is in Missouri. Mark Twain National Forest is in Missouri, and Custer National Forest is in Montana. Although there's no Annie Oakley National Forest, she does have a museum, festival, TV show, and Broadway musical named after her. That's what I was thinking of. Phil, do you know what the Broadway musical is?

Annie, Get Your Gun! That's right. Are you familiar with it though? Not really, no. What kind of gun is it, Phil? Uh, Winchester Model 30. Exactly. I actually don't know what it is, so I was...

I don't either. Question 2. The topic is hunting. And this next great question is via Nathan Noble. This monopod company is named after North America's smallest falcon. This monopod company is named after North America's smallest falcon. Room is not quite as confident on question two. Are we talking about cameras or guns? Well the category is hunting. I know but when you say monopod I think cameras. Some people hunt with a camera Spencer. This monopod company is named after North America's smallest Falcon. I don't see any of our players with an

answer quite yet. Randall do you have an answer? I can think of a company. Brody do you have this one right? I got an answer. This monopod company is named For North America's smallest Falcon, we may have a 0 percenter on question 2. That's disappointing after a 5 index. Yeah, geez. How do you feel about your answer, Randall? I don't like it. But I'm going to go with it. After a five index. Yeah, geez. How do you feel about your answer, Randall? Uh, I don't like it. Okay.

But I have two guesses and one I know is a company. This monopod company is named after North America's smallest Falcon. I'm looking up Annie Oakley's guns right now. She had so many guns from all kinds of brands. I'm sure Sig Sauer was also one of them. Yeah. Is everybody ready? I'm not going to get it.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Maven. Cory says Peregrin. Riva says Manfiodo. Manfr says Kestrel. Alyssa says Red. Max without an answer. Brody says Kestrel. The correct answer is Kestrel, Brody, and Randall got that one right. The average Kestrel is about the size of a morning dove. Besides being the smallest falcon on the continent, they are also one of the most common and most colorful.

The bird goes by many nicknames like the sparrow hawk, killie hawk, grasshopper hawk, and mouser. I just think of the wind check thing. Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. Explain. You know, the little ballistic wind calculator guy? That's like a kest thing. Yeah, that's what I was thinking of you know Explain you know the little ballistic wind calculator Yeah, whether you have a weather meter like jump masters will have them or whatever now Steve was in here recording vo Before this show and he must have said the word Kestrel 50 times really so I'm glad nobody was listening closely Did you catch on to that Phil yes spoilers for an upcoming episode of a hunting history?

What a coincidence. He said Kestrel a whole bunch. Question 3. The topic is cooking. The Escoffier School of Culinary Arts says this type of knife is ideal for working with small vegetables and is quote, basically a mini chef's knife. The Escoffier School of Culinary Arts says this type of knife is ideal for working with small vegetables and is basically a mini chef's knife. Our room is very confident on this one.

Is everybody ready? Oh, we're waiting on Riva. We can give you some time Reva Give the audience some time as well sure Your other players are watching you now I'm staring at the board say that I find myself using this type of knife very often not one I reach for a lot hmm You know what I don't either. I like having now now I'm wondering if I have it correct or if I'm using the knife that I think I'm using we couldn't find our knives in the move and I used this exclusively for like the last three months okay very familiar yeah I find

this knife to be my sixth finger when I'm in the kitchen Riva do you give up? I put something down. Okay. I use a lot of peppers. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate and Cory saying pairing. Riva says, Perry.

Randall and Alyssa and Max and Brody saying pairing. They got it. The correct answer is pairing. And the spelling of that is P a r I NG Good thing good thing spelling doesn't count. That's right They say a paring knife is great for peeling veggies removing seeds Deveining shrimp and trimming meat most paring knives have a blade that's less than three and a half inches long

Making them ideal for precise cuts So you guys aren't using paring knives. No, man, if I need something like that, I just grab the old pocket knife. True. I use it for everything because I cut myself on knives all the time, so that one. Less knife to cut yourself on.

Yeah, I'm always cooking in my sweatpants, so I don't have a pocket knife available. Sure. Question four of the topic is wildlife, and this next great question is via Philip Weiderhold. What hoofed animal was on American Nichols between 1913 and 1938? What hoofed animal was on American Nichols between 1913 and 1938 Brody and Randall and Nate all confident in their answer on a nickel oh 1913 are you thinking what I'm thinking 19 I'm trying to remember what you call a coin collector it's a fun

word hmm I could Google that for you you think there's a specific name like a rock hound? Yeah, but it's not a rock It's like a it's an ologist mmm, and a new miss and new miss Mattist Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of is it yeah, yeah a new miss man a new miss new miss Mattist new miss Mattist Maybe there you go. Maybe it's a funny word though. That's what I was thinking of That's why I was making that face. What hoofed animal was on American nickels between 1913 and 1938? Is everybody ready?

Because we don't have any numismatists in the house. No. Max, you like your answer? Let me see if you should like your answer. Yeah, you should like it like go ahead and reveal your answers We have Nate and Cory saying bison Reva Donkey Randall says buffalo Alyssa says horse max and Abrody say buffalo. The correct answer is bison or buffalo

Talk about African buffalo, you guys? Those coins are referred to as the Buffalo Nickels. Teddy Roosevelt expressed dissatisfaction with the artistry of American coins in 1904, which launched a new era for the US Mint. The Buffalo Nickel was considered one of the most

beautiful coins, but also one of the most flawed. The nickels wore down three times faster than most coins, with the words five cents regularly rubbing off the Buffalo Nickel stock production after 25 years. For that reason, what's on it now? You know, Thomas Jefferson and much as a cello or know the is it the Jefferson Memorial?

I'm not sure when they do a coin, they're obligated to make it for 25 years. And they knew pretty quickly the Buffalo Nickel was not the forever coin. So as soon as that 25 years was up, they were done with the Buffalo. Sounds like pennies are done for to now. And yeah, it was a great Super Bowl. Someone else is dissatisfied with the artistry of American. That was that was a moment where it's like someone writing to the meat eater inbox when Donald Trump is tweeting about getting rid of the penny.

It's like, I know you're at the game, dude. Question five. The topic is fishing. The National Weather Service defines this as, quote, sustained surface winds of 34 to 47 knots. The National Weather Service defines this as sustained surface winds of 34 to 47 knots. Brody and Randall and Nate, all quick to answer. And question five, the topic is fishing. What you got there, Max?

Service. Keep me entertained here. Sustained. Yeah, that's entertaining. Of 34 to 47 knots. I thought that was a great answer. You got time to change it. Brody has seen Max's answer. You got time to change it Brody

With your guns, yeah, the seat next to Brody is kind of a risky choice. I also next to Brody. I know I like it Clearly he doesn't show me his answers. Oh, you want to see my answer? Yeah answer? Yeah. Did you consider that? No. Okay. I still like my answer. Max and Brody disagree. I'm even gonna do a little thing here. Wow. Brody is going back to his whiteboard. The National Weather Service defines this as sustained surface winds of 34 to 47 knots. Randall, do you have this one right? I think so. I think so. As the captain in the room, there's a lot of pressure to get this one right. An ex-captain. I have an expired license. Let it be known. We'll call you the expired captain. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. Is everybody ready?

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Gale Force. Corey says Hurricane. Reva says Headwind. Randall says Gale. Alyssa says High Tide. Max says Straight Line Winds. Brody says Gale Force. The correct answer is gale, about

half of the room. Got that right. At least I put down something that was like there you go. Somewhat close. Wind related. Gale winds are between 39 and 46 miles per hour. Winds that are 47 to 54 miles per hour are severe gales. 55 to 63 miles per hour are severe gales. Fifty five to sixty three miles per hour are storm winds. Sixty four to seventy two miles per hour are violent storm winds. And above seventy two stars are hurricane winds. Bill, we're halfway through the game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. Oh, what do you know?

I'll just say a brilliant randall. I mean, I've got a perfect game there tied up in first place Nobody behind them has four points, but Nate Corey and Max have three points Alyssa has two and Riva has one How many Max got three? Better than the last time Phil doing great checking on your pro director that had me max. Yeah doing great checking on your pro director. Thanks for directing that at me, Max. Yeah, yeah. Question six. I'd look, I would love, I'd do

cheer, I'd just love it if you won. Wow. Hey, we're halfway there, who knows? You were sitting in this seat when you won last time. Tears of joy. So I haven't let you have it back. It's fine. Hey, American History buffs, Hunting History buffs, listen up.

We're back at it with another volume of our Meat Eaters American History series. In this edition titled The Mountain Men, 1806 to 1840, we tackle the Rocky Mountain beaver trade and dive into the lives and legends of fellows like Jim Bridger, Jed Smith, and John Coulter. This small but legendary fraternity of backwoodsmen helped define an era when the West represented not just unmapped territory, but untapped opportunity for those willing to endure some heinous and at times violent conditions. We explain what started the Mountain Man era and what ended it.

We tell you everything you'd ever want to know about what the mountain men ate, how they hunted and trapped, what gear they carried, what clothes they wore, how they interacted with Native Americans, how 10% of them died violent deaths, and even detailed descriptions of how they performed amputations on the fly. It's as dark and bloody and good as our previous volume about the white-tailed deer skin trade, which is titled The Long Hunters, 1761-1775. So again, you can buy this wherever audiobooks are sold. Meat Eaters American History, The Mountain Men, 1806-1840 by Stephen Rinoa.

Question 6, the topic is Natural History. The Oregon Trail video game made this 9 letter disease famous which has symptoms like diarrhea, fever, vomiting, weight loss, and stomach cramps. The Oregon Trail video game made this nine-letter disease famous which has symptoms like diarrhea, fever, vomiting, weight loss, and stomach cramps. Phil would you get this one right? Yes Spencer are you surprised? How much Oregon Trail did you play in your day? You know what here's the thing so our Computers and in my elementary school when we had like library computer time or whatever when I was seven or eight We had two games we could play one was the Oregon Trail. Oh, and is with the other one finding Carmen, San Diego

No, I did I did like I can just say that at home, but there was another game called the incredible machine I don't know if anyone played this, but it was basically you. You could design your own Rube Goldberg machines on like a 2D plane and with all kinds of like little interactive parts and stuff. OK. And that was always more fun to me than the Oregon Trail. So I didn't play a lot of work. OK. Our our singular game, I think, was finding Carmen San Diego. And I would credit that with what I feel like is an above average geography

knowledge. The Oregon Trail video game, which has this, which, excuse me, the Oregon Trail video game made this nine letter disease famous, which has symptoms like diarrhea, fever, vomiting, weight loss, and stomach cramps. Oh, I can't wait to see what this is. It's, it's an incredible answer on multiple levels. Okay, oh and he's erasing it. Max providing high entertainment to Phil and Brody watching his whiteboard. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Let's- Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Nate saying dysentery. Corey says listeria. Reva says dysentery. Randall dysentery. Alyssa dysentery. Maxwell says- Measles! Measles.

Measles. With a creative spelling. Brody says Dysentery. The correct answer is Dysentery. About 10% of those who traveled the real organ trail died, with disease being the biggest killer. Virtual pioneers were all too familiar with other causes of video game death being exhaustion, snake bites, broken bones, drowning, blizzards, and starvation. Randall, did you ever play the organ show? Oh, I loved it. It was a lot of fun.

You got 20 shots when you went hunting. Remember that? The little bullet things and the... Well, they always, they've like changed the game throughout the eras, and so I don't know how long like 20 shells has been the case. And then it would just say, killed 1100 pounds of meat. You can only bring 200 with you.

That's a good wrinkle in the game. Good on them. Question 7. The topic is conservation. This canal, which was famously blocked by a container ship in 2021 has given passage to over 100 non-native fish to the Mediterranean Sea. This canal, which was famously blocked by a container ship in 2021, has given passage to over 100 non-native fish to the Mediterranean Sea.

What do you got Randall? Nothing. non-native fish to the Mediterranean Sea. What do you got, Randall? Nothing. Nothing. I mean, I got something, but it's just too far afield to really merit. Dude, nevermind. What's wrong, Nate? Nothing.

Do you have this one right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. World traveler. Well, that's what I'm saying, dude. I feel like there's so many bones given to Montana residents in this game

No, no, they're not enough. I also feel like you could word this question differently for like every major canal in the world It's great. Sure. Yeah, that's that's uh, that's part of me Deter trivia I have one down over any one hundred non native fish to the Mediterranean. Do you have this one right Brody? I think so. Okay. I mean I remember the whole thing. I can see the picture. I'm trying to remember the ship's name.

Oh that'd be good. Oh I do know it. Was it the Evergiven? Evergiven, that's it. Oh you could be right too, it might be. No I think it had two names that was confusing Let's go flip them over for someone gives this away. Well, I got a Google what it was called first It was the ever given is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying Sue as Corey without an answer

Reva says Sue as Randall and Alyssa and Brody say the Suez Canal. Max says Red Sea Canal. The correct answer is the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal was completed in 1869, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. Since then, over 400 non-native marine species have migrated into the Mediterranean via the waterway. Most notable of them is the lionfish, which now has established colonies off the coast of Israel. Go ahead and give yourself half a point. Thanks, Brody. Question eight, the topic is wildlife. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Meggie Green. For sending this great question, Meggie is going to get a board game signed by the crew. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send your question to trivia

I didn't like it I like the beef that was going on but do you like Kendrick? Do you listen a lot of Kendrick? I don't even know if I can tell you one song. It probably wasn't probably why you didn't like it So one to ten max

Give it a three. I like I liked it how like it was like a real-life music video happening the whole entire time Yeah, I thought that Videography was cool that cool. That is fun.

I was thinking Clarence was in there somewhere but I think I think you're right I think you're right. Oh he's right. Snoop would make these unscripted videos for the Jimmy Kimmel show.

Retreat, yeah, retreat. Yeah, back up. Yeah, we them boys. Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on. We them boys. I love that you can hear the wheels spinning. He says, these things are beavers?

It looks bigger than the rest of ours. I got 45 points actually. Alyssa has 5, Nate has 6, and Brody and Randall still have

their perfect game with 8 points. Nate is the only one who can catch up. But let's, you know. Let's be real. Let's be serious. Serious room. Question 9. The topic idiotic. Question nine. The topic is cooking.

Encyclopedia Britannica defines this nine-letter Italian word as, quote, a first course or appetizer in Italian cuisine. We've stumped the room with this one. Encyclopedia Britannica defines this nine letter Italian word as a first course or appetizer in Italian cuisine. Easy. Nate could possibly catch. No.

Oh my god, it's on the tip of my tongue road yeah Nate it's optimistic if I don't oh freaking Annie Oakley's gonna haunt my dreams mmm but you missed two but you guys are all gonna miss this and then I'm gonna get the next one and we would have tied and I would have won overtime there we go there's still a path huh it's just not gonna come to me. Encyclopedia Britannica defines this nine letter Italian word as a first course or

appetizer in Italian cuisine. You are a cooking question monster. Cory, do you have this one right? Yeah. Okay, Cory and Nate. Not that it matters. Or we're going down together. I'm trying to make up some word right now. Make it Italian. Give us a hint Spencer. I'm trying to make it a little bit about me.

Your hint is that it's a nine letter Italian word. Don't look at mine. It's not pizza. Defined as a first course for appetizer in Italian cuisine. I could sing you guys happy birthday in Italian if you wanted. Wow. Wow Wow you know what I would like that Yeah, let's do it. Well after the question we Steve's birthday is on Thursday, and he's Italian He's got a vowel at the end of his last name you could come in yeah and sing him happy birthday I will be in Salt Lake Just thought of it Spencer Oh, damn. Just thought of it, Spencer.

Dang it! Good job, Nate! I know, I should just shut my mouth. Randall is squirming. Yes, he is. Randall and I had reservations at an Italian restaurant on Friday nights, but because of the snowstorm, I couldn't make it through the pass. But had we gone there, maybe Randall would have gotten this one right. Yeah.

Mother nature though. All right, tick tock, tick tock. Yep. A first course or appetizer. Oh, come on. Italian cuisine. Oh, nice. Did you look at my answer? What's your answer, Max?

I had this down. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate and Corey saying antipasta. Reva says hors d'oeuvre. Randall says antipasta. Lissa without an answer. Max without an answer. Brody says antipasta.

The correct answer is antipasto or antipasti. If you put antipasta, we'll give it to you because it often get corrupted to that version I just kept thinking of like when you go some Italian restaurants have like primo secundi mmm and they they just enumerate them and I was just stuck in that headspace that's where I was I needed to get on a different menu mm-hmm so I appreciate that Oh no no no antipasto is the singular version of that word.

And antipasti is the plural antipasto antipasto can come in the form of cured meats, sausages, olives and chauvin sardines, fresh fruit, pickled veggies, mushrooms, shellfish and cheeses. Some examples of antipasto from the meat eater dot com include venison, tartare, walleye wings, and pickled gizzards. I made tartare yesterday. Antipasto, Max. Yeah, it was very good. Alright, here's the correct answer review so far.

One was Antioquia. Two, Kestrel. Three, Paring Knife. Four, Bison. Five, Gale. Six, Dysentery. Seven, Suez Canal Canal 8, Snoop Dogg 9, Auntie Posto Going into question 10, we have Randall and Brody tied up with 9 correct answers The topic is hunting and this question is via Adam Brennan Give the first name of either man that Pope and Young is named after. Randall, quick to answer. Brody is now backed into a corner. Give the first name of either man that Pope and Young is named after. Randall, do you have this right with certainty? Yes.

Could you name both men if you had to? Yes, and I will just to... Okay, maybe cross one out though, and that can be some flavor text for when I read your answer, but then we know which one you want to make it. Give the first name of either man that Pope and Young is named after. Brody, doing a lot of writing. Brody, how's that process going? It's going.

Okay. writing Brody how's that process going? It's going. Okay. Randall is very optimistic Brody he could name both of them if he had to. We're just looking for one though. Are you trying to like get in my head or something? Come on. Trying to create some drama for our listeners to enjoy while the rest of you sit here in silence.

The first name of either man that Pope and Young is named after, do you have this one right, Brody? We'll find out. I was gonna be shocked if he didn't know this. Oh wow. I thought this was gonna be just a wash. Like a good old fishing question.

You know the old saying, just another fishing question. I've also noticed that Spencer has not chosen a fishing question for the last question I don't think yeah I think that's good for the health of the game. That's a flaw. So I better fix that and now I've overcorrected it It's like the NFL and quarterback rules, you know It's everybody ready. No, give me one sec. Not that it matters Nate

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Nate saying John Corey says Brian Reva says bring him young Randall says Saxton he crossed out Arthur Alyssa says Adam. Max says Bishop. Brody says George. The correct answer is Saxton and Arthur or Art. Randall, got that one.

Randall! Way to go, Randall. Dr. Saxton Pope and Art Young have been called the fathers of bow hunting. They learned archery from a man named Ishii, the last known survivor of the Yanna tribe in California. Ishii taught them how to stock and kill game using obsidian arrow points. Pope and Young was created in 1961, which is a few decades after Saxton and Art died.

It's a great factoid. Which one? The Ishi? Yeah the Ishi one. Did you know about Ishi? I did. Randall. I actually spent, when we were down in Mexico, we spent like a good 20 minutes trying to remember the name Ishi. Okay. But I did come up with it then too, just like Annie Pasto. Here you are now. With a perfect game. I think our first perfect game. People might want to pay attention to bear grease over the next few months. Oh, why is that, Reva?

Can't say anything else. It's a really fascinating story. OK. Randall has the perfect game. I think the first perfect game of twenty twenty five. That means MeatEater is going to double its donation from five hundred dollars to a thousand today. Where is that money going? Let's send that money to the Theodore Roosevelt

Conservation Partnership. TRCP getting $1,000 from Medeater and Randall. We've been on an overtime drought again this year. I think we've had zero of them in 2025. Well, not complaining. We didn't go to overtime this round. Randall's like, yeah, let's keep it that way. Wins with 10, Brody right behind him with nine.

That's it for this week's game of Meat Eater Trivia. Join us next week for more Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. Thank you, Spencer. Yeah, Spencer from South Dakota, he's the host. Using those smooth mellow tones, he lays them questions down. He likes taking those two and three year old bucks. He's an avid amateur rock hound. Hey American history buffs, hunting history buffs, listen up we're back at it with another

volume of our Meat Eaters American History series. In this edition titled The Mountain Men 1806-1840 we tackle the Rocky Mountain beaver trade and dive into the lives and legends of fellows like Jim Bridger, Jed Smith, and John Coulter. This small but legendary fraternity of backwoodsmen helped define an era when the West represented not just unmapped territory, but untapped opportunity for those willing to endure some heinous and at times violent conditions. We explain what started the Mountain man era and what ended it.

We tell you everything you'd ever want to know about what the mountain men ate, how they hunted and trapped, what gear they carried, what clothes they wore, how they interacted with Native Americans, how 10% of them died violent deaths, and even detailed descriptions of how they performed amputations on the fly. It's as dark and bloody and good as our previous volume about the white-tailed deer skin trade which is titled The Long Hunters 1761-1775. So again, you can buy this wherever audiobooks are sold.
