I'm your host, Spencer Newhart, and today we're joined by Janice, Brody, Seth, Roman, John, Logan, Max, and Alex Plotta. Alex, this is your first time on the show. Tell folks what you do here at Meadeer. I work with Roman and social media, okay?

And Brody just had a bone to pick with you before we turned the mics on. Brody, what was the problem? Oh, well, it's like a nature documentary screw up where he called a came and a gator. And no one else noticed this, Alex, is that, is that right? I have once called a goat a billy when it was not a billy once in time. Oh, people called you out on that? They did. But no one called you out on the gator came in a thing.

No one called me out on the gator until Brody brought us. Now everyone knows. Alex, what's going to be your strong suit and weakness? in Me Deeder trivia Nothing science specific Probably history related If there's any historical questions How about regionalize?

What are your best region? For sure. Okay But do you like the north, the south, the west? A little bit of everything. Okay. All right. We'll see how Alex does today.

If you're mad at stuff on social media, you're going to be mad at Roman and Alex. Oh, that's got to talk to it. Now everyone knows. All right, this is a 10-round quiz show with questions from me-deaters, four verticals which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there is a prize. Meadeeer will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing.

And for the state of the week this week, we're looking at the number of games in a row. I've gone without forgetting to do the correct answer review. If you don't recall, I've started penalizing myself for when I forget to do the correct answer review after question nine. The fine has been that I'll join a new conservation group whenever that happens and since implementing that system I've gone five games in a row without forgetting

sometimes I used to go five games in a row without remembering so we may have solved this problem so you're just donating less to conservation now? No I well when I remember yes but when I'm doing my job better

that's right I'm giving the listeners a better experience but when I mess up then conservation still wins because I'll join a new conservation group how many conservation groups are you part of that was my sixth or just like in general how many six right now six that i'm like currently in a one year membership of i don't own any

lifetime or uh or three year memberships of anything so uh we'll see how long this goes on i might be a double digits though by the end of the year yeah all right here's our infrequently asked question segment if you have a trivia related question for our crew send it to trivia at the medeater com with the subject line if aq nathan powatsky says you've mentioned before how you will tweak listener submitted questions to word them better do you ever have anyone right in pissed that you messed with

their question? It's happened one time and he was also somebody named Nathan it happened earlier this year but he was very angry that I changed the wording of his question he wrote in demanding to know what my process is and how I fact check things and create the questions

he was upset oh you got to tell us what it was well I've already given a lot it happened this year and his name was Nathan so there you know there's probably one episode where that's happened. No, no, no. Like what the question was?

It was about, oh, I said his last, I'm not going to say anymore. It was about a bird. It was about a bird. He didn't like the phrasing that I chose and the hints that I gave rather than his.

So it doesn't happen off, or if it does happen, folks don't write me to tell me that they're angry, but it has happened once. But at the end of the day, they got to remember this is your show. Oh, wow.

Thank you, Max. Yeah, but we complain about us questions all the time. I'm open to criticism. If more people are angry like that other Nathan, they should write me and let me know. That'll create a better product, Max. Were the people that, like, answered the question angry about the question? No, the room, I think about half of the room got it right. But they didn't know what the alternate version was.

Maybe they would have liked the listener submitted version better. We'll never know. All right, there's no housekeeping today. So we get to the trivia on the Shelby Index for this episode. is a four. So we're a max index. I can do that.

Correct answers. What's the max index? We'll find out in about a half hour. And 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. Probably like a three. Just tend to win everything. Game on, suckers. Question one. The topic is hunt.

and this will be multiple choice. Of these states, which has the lowest population of mule deer? Is it North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, or Oklahoma? Of these states, which has the lowest population of mule deer, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, or Oklahoma. Some quick answers. Not for Max, though. Grew up in one of these states. Yeah, just thinking.

Just thinking. Of these states, which has the lowest population of mule deer, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma. I thought you were going to throw him the Sharpie. What do you got, Max? Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal. your answers, we have Janice saying Oklahoma.

Logan, Oklahoma, Seth, Nebraska, Alex, Kansas, John, Oklahoma, Roman, North Dakota, Max, North Dakota, Brody, Oklahoma. The correct answer

is Oklahoma. Damn it. I think three or four of our players got that one right and we had every answer represented among the crew. It's estimated that. that the mule deer population in Nebraska is 130,000, followed by 50,000 in Kansas, 20,000 in North Dakota, and 3,000 in Oklahoma. Oklahoma's muley herd is largely limited to the state's panhandle.

Cal didn't Cal do a... He did do an episode. It was awesome. That's how I knew the answer. Killed one of the only mule deer in that darn state. Question two, the topic is fishing. This game show host, who said he owns four boats and... Eight Lakes was given the

2025 American Sport Fishing Association Impact Award. Game show? This game show host, who said he owns four boats and eight lakes, who was given the 2025 American Sport Fishing Association Impact Award. Was this you?

I did not get that award. Do you have eight lakes and four boats? I wish the rest of it was true, though. Game show. Is this game show on currently? Not giving any him. Seth, quick to answer, Seth, do you know this one, or do you just know one game show host? I just know one game show host that likes to fish a whole bunch. Okay, there you go. That's probably right.

Yeah, pretty good. This game show host, who said he owns four boats and eight lakes, was given the 2025 American Sport Fishing Association Impact Award. That just happened about a week ago at ICAST. Fresh news. Can I just tell you what game show? No, we're going to need a last name. Seth is the only player who likes his answer, seems like.

Alex, do you have this one right? I do. Social media, man, you maybe saw this news. No. No, I did not. Educated guys. Yanni, do you like your answer? Game show, game show.

I have written down a game show host's name. Do you watch any game shows? No. No. Did you use to? Yeah, when I was a kid And named the game Was Come Home After School

Oh for sure Until like it would You'd watch whatever you could Until like all of a sudden it would turn into Like every Every network would only be paying soap operas And be like Dang it!

Go outside. Again, this game show host, who said he owns four boats and eight lakes, who's given the 2025 American Sport Fishing Association Impact Award. Is everybody ready? Is his name Spencer Newhart? Again, I wish I had four boats and eight lakes. Maxwell? Yeah, I can't think of his name, but...

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yannis saying, Rob Lowe. That sounds right. Logan says... Drew Carey, Seth, Steve Harvey. Alex, Drew Carey, John, Steve Harvey, Roman, Steve Harvey. Max says, Family Feud Guy. Could be anybody.

No, he says Pat Seidjack. I think, yeah. The correct answer is Steve Harvey. What game show does he host? He hosts the family. I think you give it to Max. I'm not going to give it to Max. Come on.

Harvey learned to fish. as a little boy in West Virginia, he says it's his favorite hobby in that he once spent six hours in a bass pro shopping for largemouth lures. Harvey was given the impact award for the work his charity does, which they say has, quote, introduced countless young men and women to fishing. Half a point, Phil. Good for him. Steve Harvey loves to fish. Question three, the topic is natural history. This next great question is via Andrew Green. This extinct elk, which is named after a country had the largest known antlers of any deer. This extinct elk, which is named after a country, had the largest known antlers of any deer.

Brody and Yanni, quick to answer, Seth is now joining them. Seth, do you have this one right? If I can go back on a time machine and go hunt and this is what I'd want to go hunt. Yeah. I don't know. Educated guess. Somebody I know is over there recently and saw a set of these antlers on the wall. Oh, really?

It was incredible. Oh, it was over there. And the flavor text, I'll tell you just how big they get. This extinct elk, which is named after a country, had the largest known antlers of any deer. Although I have been editing my Latvia episode. which I solo film last year and it came out extremely well delighted with how it came out

a lot of subtitles you're editing it not too much no well part of the edit process you know I've been doing I did yesterday I worked on the the translations which is I always think it's going to be real easy and it's a bitch do you have to consult your dad

on that or are you good enough there was one term that was used and I did actually consult the three people Mollatzis and Mollettis and Mollett Molotus means like oftentimes you'll hear a parent talking to their kid after they've done something very well. And they'll just say malatis and you're applying that to them. But I got varied answers.

My mom was like, oh, it's very like on a spiritual level like this sort of, you know, you've done great. But then other people were just like, no, it just means you excelled at your task. How was it said to you? Oh, no, it wasn't said to me. Well, in the video it was used She was speaking to her dog After he had found the pig I shot She said, Malatzis.

Okay, what do you got? Again, we're on question three, natural history. This extinct elk, which is named after a country Had the largest known antlers of any deer. Is everybody ready? Seth? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Janice saying Irish, Logan, African, Seth, Canadian.

Alex, Mongolian John without an answer Roman, Scottish Clothes, Max, New Zealand Brody, Irish. The correct answer is the Irish elk. Brody and Deyani got that one right. Logan, I'll point out that Africa is not a country.

See, I thought about that and last time I had a similar geography issue you pointed that out as well I did actually think about that And I was like, you know, I know that this is not a country, but screw it. You could just see if Brody's paying attention, and he was. The antlers of the Irish elk could span 12 feet. Most of them when extinct during the ice age, but a small herd in Siberia evidently held on for an extra 4,000 years.

Some Irish elk fossils from the region have been dated to as recently as 7,000 years ago. It's thought those holdouts eventually died due to a warming climate and human. in hunting. Question four. Wait, hold up. South Africa is a country, though, right? Yes. So technically my answer was based on.

Question four, the topic is gear. AutoZone says the function of this 10-letter motor part is to, quote, mix air and fuel in the proper ratio for combustion. Brody already has his answer down. AutoZone says. the function of this 10-letter motor part is to mix air and fuel in the proper ratio for combustion. Seth, you have this right? I think so.

Okay. Seth smelling his marker over there. I saw that. But he goes cap-on, so it's like he's micro-dosing markers, not just free-lining it. Or you're smelling hands. Got it, yeah. Which is weird. Smells like blueberries.

It's a blue one. It's definitely better cap-on. I actually think I'm pretty good. I think you're good, buddy. AutoZone says the function of this 10-letter motor part is to mix air and fuel in the proper ratio for combustion. Brody likes Max's answer. This is the first one today.

Seth seems to like his answer. Yanni, do you like your answer? Yes. 10-letter motor part. It mixes air and fuel in the proper ratio. Does spelling count as long as I have the right amount of letters? If we know what you're talking about, it should be close enough. Did you count them?

Yeah, 10, right? Spelled it wrong. Ten letter. Yeah, there's a vowel there in the middle. It's tripping me up. Okay, there's a little hint. He says there's a vowel in the middle. It's a word with a vowel.

It's ten letters, I imagine. Yeah. Uh-huh. Did you play word all yet today? Hot tip, Yani? No, I've been off the Whirdle train. Okay. Oh.

To clear your mind for this race coming up, huh? No, it's been much longer. Just kind of, I got the same way that I am with Instagram. I just was like, you know what? Do I really need to give Wordle five to ten minutes in my day every day? Nope. All right, is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Janus saying Carburetor. That's how I spelled it, too. Logan says combustion and Seth Carburetor. Alex says injector, John, carburetor, Roman, carburetor, Max, carburetor, Brody carburetor. The correct answer is carburetor and you spell that. C-A-R, B-U-R, E-T-O-R. Did anybody spell it right? Brody, that's it.

Got it right and spelled it right. Signs that your carburetor need replacing or maintenance include rough idling, poor acceleration, and engine installs. Although carburetors are still common in small engines, they've been phased out of vehicles. The 1990 Subaru Justi was the last car sold in America with a carburetor.

Brody, Seth, you boys ever work on carburetors on your boats? A little bit. I got a Honda. It runs like a dream. Yeah, they're a tough thing to work on. But I think my Honda, they're fuel and fuel injector. Yeah, that's what they've been. Electric fuel injector, is that right? Yeah, I've never worked

on a boat, but other things. Question five. Always mess it up. Lawn moors. The topic is cooking. This sushi roll, which is named after its colorful presentation, is made by placing salmon, tuna, and yellowfin on top of a California roll. Are sushi eaters answering this question before I even finished it? But we have three players who maybe don't like sushi as much.

Roman, do you like sushi? I do. I was just going to mention that I saw there's a new food bar. an illness from another sushi restaurant here. Really? I saw we just got a new sushi place in town as well. Alex is texting me about that. What place from?

I don't know if I should name names, but it's not the one from a few years ago. Did it make news or was it just that angry Reddit post? Because I saw the angry Reddit post. I think we are looking at the same circles, Phil. Again, question five, this sushi roll, which is named for its colorful presentation is made by placing salmon, tuna, and a yellowfin on top. a California roll. Sounds delicious.

I'd like to eat one of these right now. What do you think? Seth, do you like sushi? I love sushi. Okay. But I don't, I can't recall the name of this. John, do you have this one right? I don't think so.

I have a sushi roll name down, but I don't think it's it. Okay. This is question five, so we'll get a scoreboard update from Phil the engineer after this. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Janus and Logan saying, Rainbow Roll. Seth, without an answer.

Alex says rainbow. John says Dragon Roll. Roman says party roll. Love it. Max and Brody say rainbow roll. They got it. The correct answer is the rainbow roll. Nice.

Coming back now. The rainbow roll is filled with crab, avocado, and cucumber, then topped with slices of different colored fish. Its base roll, the California roll, was declared the number one most popular sushi roll in America by school of sushi while the rainbow roll was number six. All right, Phil, let's get a scoreboard update.

At half time, everyone's on the board. We've got Alex with one point. Logan and Roman and Max and Seth have two points. John has three and tied up in first place. Are Janus and Brody with four? I feel like Janus has been bringing it lately, man. It's the hair change. It's the hair change.

Question six, the topic is hunting. This man lost his job as Outdoor Life's Hunting Editor in 2007 after a controversial article about ARs.

Oh, I thought it was going to be a different question. Brody, quick to answer, Yanni joining him. They're the only two players. I thought it was going to be so far. I thought it was going to be the question about the guy who shot that mule deer and then someone else shot it too. No, that was more recent than that. I talked to this fellow about squirrel hunting out west, actually. I don't think you should be given that.

Someone might remember your conversation. Oh, you think? Maybe. This man lost his job as Outdoor Life's Hunting Editor in 2007 after a controversial article about ARs. Seth, do you have this one right? Oh, I don't know. I think I recall something about this in this guy, but I don't...

Brody, do you remember when this happened? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. How about you, Yanni? Big hubbub. Yeah. 15 years ago. Longer than that. What did he say? I will tell you in the flavor text.

This man lost his job as Outdoor Life's hunting editor in 2007 after a controversial article about ARs. Do our other players give up? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanni saying Jim Zumbo. Logan, without an answer. Seth says Jim Sumbo, Alex. and John without an answer Roman says Shell Silverstein

Max says Tred Barda and Brody says Jim Zumbo The correct answer is Jim Zumbo In Zumbo's article He said quote Excuse me

Maybe I'm a traditionalist But I see no place for these weapons Among our fraternity I'll go as far as to call them Terrorist Rifles I say game departments Should ban them from the prairies and woods The Fallout caused Zumbo

to lose his job and receive death threats. He later apologized in a forum post on Ted Nugent's website saying he was ignorant about black rifles and planned to do an AR-15 hunt with the Nuge. Are you giving that one to Seth? I didn't see what...

Seth had it right. Okay, I thought I heard you say Sumbo with an S. Max, are you related to Tred Barta? Yeah, he's my uncle. I never considered that you guys had the same last name. No, no relation as a... The honest and I used to... Oh, yeah.

He was around our... outfitter for a while. And I imagine you have not real favorable things to say about him. I'm not going to... I'm going to leave it there. I'm going to leave it there. I grew up watching them on... It was... The outdoor channel was Verses. Yeah. That was my favorite hunting show growing up.

Mine was on the versus channel, Benny Spides. Got it with Benny Spies. Oh yeah, that was a great one. Question 7. The topic is fishing. This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Mitch Gokes. We're sending this great question. 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 at the meat eater.com

What kind of whale is Moby Dick? What kind of whale is Moby Dick? Brody, quick to answer. Nani's jaw hit the floor. He doesn't like this one. What kind of whale is Moby Dick? I just saw my first whale on the beach.

It was interesting. Max, you're on fire today, buddy. All right. Brody was shocked that Max had the answer to that he had. I misread it. I misread it the first time. What kind of whale? The first time is Moody.

No, I can't say it. I'll give it away. Yanni, who I believe is tied for the lead, has a blank whiteboard. You got it right? Should I do? Stop between two options. What kind of whale is Moby Dick?

Janice Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yanni Sang humpback, Logan, White Whale, Seth, sperm whale, Alex, blue whale, John, sperm whale, Roman,

and Max and Brody say sperm whale. They got it. The correct answer is a sperm whale. This side was on fire. They did doing good. More specifically, Moby Dick was a white bull sperm whale. Although most think of the whale as an albino, Herman Melville writes that it has two prominent white areas

and that the rest of the body has splotches of white and gray. Therefore, Moby Dick was leucistic or piebald, not albino. Question eight. The topic is biology. This next great question is via Tim Allen. Phil, can you give us a little Tim Allen sounder over there? Okay, very good. This eight-letter word is defined as, quote, a grooming behavior where birds use their beaks to clean, realign, and maintain their feathers.

Eight letters? Eight letters. I thought like we've had this question. We have not had this question. This is question eight. We'll get a scoreboard update after this. This eight-letter word is defined as a grooming behavior where birds use their beaks to clean, realign, and maintain. feathers that's what they do okay thank you max the demonstration max do you have this one

right i sure hope so okay i really hope so he's sore and high today max is kind of a bird guy he's the biggest bird guy in this room i'd say ah that was my peacock very good sounds like tim allen is everybody ready go ahead and reveal your answers we have janis and saying preening, Logan says, Primping, Seth, preening, Alex, cleaning, John and Roman, without an answer. Max says, preening, Brody, preening. The correct answer is preening.

It's P-R-E-E-N-I-N-G. The National Wild Turkey Federation says that preening is such a significant part of a turkey's daily routine that it's second in time only to feeding. For gobblers, this behavior can include dusting and sunning. Preening creates stronger feathers,

reduces parasites, and makes males more attractive to hens. All right, Phil, give us a scoreboard update. In the duck world, it helps with waterproofness. After question eight,

Alex, Logan, Roman, John, and Max are not, have not accumulated enough points to win the game. I got four and a half, Phil.

But Janus has, or Seth has five, Vianas has six, and Brody is in first place with seven points. Max pointed out that waterproofing is one of the duck purposes. They also say that for turkeys, but I don't think of turkeys is being very waterproof, so I didn't include that. But it's basically spreading their oils from one specific gland. Do turkeys have preening glands? Yeah, duck's got a gland on their butt that secretes oil.

It's part of their preening process. Question nine, the topic is conservation. The National Park Service said they saw an increase of young visibility. visitors in 2016, thanks to the release of this augmented reality mobile game. And the room is stuck. What is an augmented reality mobile game? Bill can explain it to you after this. The National Park Service said they saw an increase of young visitors in 2016,

thanks to the release of this augmented reality mobile game. Brody, currently in the lead. Phil, did you come up with this question? No, but I'm very grateful it's answered it. Phil will get to talk about augmented reality after this. I bet they played on a switch, don't they? I don't know. Do you know what I think so?

In the flavor text. Okay, so Logan and Seth don't agree. Alex, do you have this one right? 100% confidence. Okay. John, do you have this one right? I don't think so. Okay.

I'm trying to figure out how my answer deals with it. The National Parks. The National Park Service said they saw an increase of young visitors in 2016, thanks to the release of this augmented reality mobile game. And Brody and Yanni have blank whiteboards. This would be a time to get ahead. If only. Again, this is question nine.

This is the time to catch up. Yeah. After this. Yanni, How are we doing? Not great. Brody, how we doing? Even worse.

Okay. A man with that hair should know the answer to this. The National Park Service said they saw an increase of young visitors in 2016, thanks to the release of this augmented reality mobile game. Phil, have you played this game? This will be the rooms one hint. Has Phil played this game? I have played this game.

Okay, he's played this game. There you go. He's played a lot of games, though. Phil, do you like it? It's possible I just played this game 30 seconds ago in preparation for this question. Oh, okay, perfect. Can I see your recent apps?

Brody and I'm yani are stumped. The National Park Service said they saw an increase of young visitors in 2016 thanks to the release of this augmented reality mobile game. I'm trying to think about 20s. Brody andiani, do you give up? I do. I'm trying to think of a name on the video game. Maybe Yonis will get it and make the game a little more interesting.

Yanni, do you give up? Bill was just playing it a minute ago. I think this is a game. Okay, go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Yonis saying, Fortnite. Oh, Logan says Pokemon Go. Seth says Fortnite. Alex, Pokemon Go.

John, Pokemon, Pokemon, Go. Roman. of the clans, Max, Clash of the Clans, Brody, without an answer. The correct answer is Pokemon Go. I think we had half of the room, get that right. I don't know what a carburetor is. Pokemon, though, encouraging players to go outside to visit pokey stops, which are typically landmarks, such as historic plaques, museums, hiking trails, and statues.

This makes national parks and national monuments a hot spot for trainers, the youth traffic got so overwhelming in 2016 that Rangers started leading guided Pokemon tours across historic sites. A spokeswoman for the NPS said that summer, quote, this is an age group we love to have in the parks. All right, Phil, explain, Pokemon Go and augmented reality. I just caught a magnamite. Here I'm looking up here.

There it is. Okay, perfect. Augmented reality is different than virtual reality, and then augmented reality uses like a video feed of something, like an actual camera feed, and then overlays images into it to look like it's a part of the actual world. So Pokemon Go uses GPS and actual mapping so you can walk around your town. And like Spencer said, landmarks are pokey stops or you can like collect items and there are gyms or you can battle other Pokemon.

I just found out a minute ago that the pond behind our office is a pokey stop. Oh, good for you, Phil. Like in an augmented reality, there could be a Pikachu sitting on Yanni's shoulder. right now. That's how the argument is there Is there anything in this room? Run faster. Yeah, yeah, there is actually. Here's the correct answer of you so far. One was Oklahoma.

Two, Steve Harvey. Three, Irish elk. Four, carburetor. Five, rainbow roll. Six, Jim Zumbo. Seven. Sperm whale. Eight. Preening. Nine. Pokemon Go. Phil, let's get a scoreboard update.

Four question ten. I should have six right now. We've got Yanis with six points and Brody with seven points Question 10 The topic is woodsmanship And this next great question is via Eric Winrich

The Old Farmer's Almanac Calls the Blank Bear Caterpillar Miniature Meteorologists Because of their reputation For predicting winter weather Brody had his answer Before I finished the question It seems as though he's wrapped up the victory

With eight correct answers The old farmer's almanet calls the blank bear caterpillar, quote, miniature meteorologists because of their reputation for predicting winter weather. Seth, do you have this one right? I think so, but we call them something different. Yanni, do you have this one, right? No. The blank bear caterpillar, and they are miniature meteorologists. Brody, were you familiar with this boat a bit of lore?

Yeah. If I remember right, I'll explain more. Great. Max, do you have this one? No. Blank Bear Caterpillar. But I'm trying. I'm trying my best.

The Old Farmer's Almanat calls them miniature meteorologists because of their reputation for predicting winter weather. Is everybody ready? Hold up. I'm going to change my mind. Okay. I'm going to give Logan one more second. Go ahead and reveal your answer.

answers, we have Janice saying, black, Logan says, black, Seth, woolly, Alex, Brown, John, without an answer, Roman, Polar, Max, Fuzzy, Brody, like that one? Woolly. The correct answer is the Woolly Bear Caterpillar, making Brody our winner with eight correct answers. Wasn't it, uh, the weather thing, like predicting had something to do with their color pattern. Woolly bear caterpillars turn into tiger moths as larva, they are two colors.

The Farmer's Almanac lore says that if there's more black, then it will be a bad winter. And if there's more brown, then it will be a mild winter. But Noah says this is just a myth in that woolly bear color is based on diet and age. We call them woolly buggers. Woolly buggers have heard of the fishing fly. Yeah, I've heard of the lily bugger, but I've never heard the caterpillar called a woolly bugger. Woolly Bear Caterpillar. All right, Brody, what are you going to do with the $500 today?

Sage Grouse were recently declared extinct in the state of North Dakota. Max shut a tear over that. Real bummer. So we're going to donate it to the Sage Grouse initiative.
