First Lights Navigator hoodie was built and tested where plans fall apart and weather doesn't ask permission.
It's built to perform, built to last, breathable insulation that dumps heat fast on the hike-in,
stretch fabric that stays silent for close encounters, moisture control that wicks away sweat on the packout.
Because in the field, the plan shifts, the wind changes.
The moment comes sooner or later than you thought.
When it does, you adapt without hesitation.
First Lights Navigator delivers on versatility no matter the situation.
It happens to be my favorite piece of gear they make right now.
I live in it.

Welcome to Me Deeder Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins.
I'm your host, Spencer Newark, and today we're joined by Randall, Brody, Alyssa, John, Roman, and Hillary.
This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Deer's Four Verticles, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, and there's a prize.
Meadeter will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing.
Now, Meadeer is heading south for the holidays.
we are thrilled to announce meat eater live,
the Christmas tour coming to you this December.
We have stops in Birmingham, Nashville, Memphis, Fayetteville, Dallas, and Austin.
Come hang with Steve Janice, Clay, Randall, and Brent for a night of laughs,
trivia prizes, and stories from the outdoors.
Go to the medeeter.com slash tour to sign up for presale access,
which starts September 23rd.
That will give you the chance to buy tickets before they officially go and
on sale to the public.
That's themeadeter.com slash tour.
We can't wait to see you there,
especially Randall.
Randall, what stop are you most excited for?
Well, I thought long and hard about this,
and I was really leaning towards Memphis.
Why?
John Morant and also the song Walking in Memphis,
I'd have the opportunity to hum that to myself a lot,
which is really catchy.
But then I ultimately decided that Fayetteville, Arkansas,
takes the cake for me because
Clay Newcomb's the mayor there.
I feel like Clay and Brent
bring a lot of Arkansas here.
Yes.
But I'm like, is that really Arkansas?
So now I get to see them in their environment,
see them among their people.
And I'll just gain a new depth of appreciation
for what is so Arkansas about Clay.
Yeah, we'll see if it's actually authentic or not.
Yeah, it might be a schick.
Everybody there might be looking at clay
and rolling their eyes.
I haven't been to Arkansas since the summer of 2007.
What was the occasion?
I went down to the White River National Forest.
Do you some fishing?
The Buffalo River.
There you go.
And did some fishing.
Randall's genuinely very excited.
He was saying he really looks forward to just hanging with his buddies and fart on the bus.
That was what he said in a meeting here.
I was born.
I was born to hang out on buses and in locker rooms.
okay and just hold court so i'm looking forward to it should be a good week and a lot of good food
i'm sure there's a locker room here i don't ever see you hanging out in there well there's
not nearly enough space for the hijinks that i again the meat eater dot com slash tour uh pre-sale
is happening soon all right in a previous episode we had a question about what the archery acronym
focs stands for the correct answer was front of center but after some debate i also accept
Randall and Yanni's answer of forward of center.
Well, after further research, it has been revealed that forward of center is totally correct.
It turns out that our favorite archery expert, Ed Ashby, who's been a guest on the media
podcast, says forward of center over front of center.
So, FOC can be either one.
And it doesn't change the outcome of the game because Yannis and Randall were rewarded that
point and then lost to Brody in overtime because Brody is pure of heart and they are not.
But thanks, of course, to our attentive listeners who pointed out.
Folks, were coming to your defense.
Many sources were revealed that went with forward of center.
Yeah, I mean, the only thing that's better than winning is being right.
So I'll take that.
This game, you get to do both sometimes.
Sometimes.
All right, the Shelby Index for today is a four, so our winner should get eight correct answers.
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.
How's that?
Just tend to win everything.
Question one.
The topic is natural history.
This first great question is via Anthony Tornetta, and it is multiple choice.
Which state has the most active volcanoes?
Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Alaska.
Brody, quick to answer.
Whiteboard is down.
Which state has the most active volcanoes?
Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Alaska.
A tough one for question one.
Most active volcanoes.
Mount St. Helens is showing.
in a little activity.
I could probably dang near reach us if something happened.
Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Alaska.
That reminds me of an overtime game that I lost.
On what year?
What year in Mount St. Helens erupted.
I don't remember the answer.
80.
It's 1980.
Just 80.
Just 80.
Is everybody ready?
Roman doing some erasing.
Most active volcanoes.
Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Alaska.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Alyssa Sang, Hawaii, Roman Washington, Randall, Washington, John, Hawaii, Hillary, Hawaii, Brody, Alaska.
The correct answer is Alaska.
Only Brody got it right.
Alaska has 141 active volcanoes.
That's followed by California with 18.
Oregon with 17.
in Washington with seven, Hawaii with five, Utah and Idaho with four, Mexico with three, Arizona and Nevada
with two, and Colorado and Wyoming with one.
Of Alaska's 141 active volcanoes, 50 of them have been active within the last 250 years.
Not even close.
You could add up all the other volcanoes in the States.
That's what I was about to say, Spencer.
Alaska would still whoop them.
What are some prominent Alaska volcanoes, Brody?
Oh, Mount Alaska, Mount Volcano.
We don't have time for Holden.
Question two.
The topic is wildlife.
Red-winged, yellow-headed, and brewers are all types of this bird that the Beatles
immortalized with a 1968 song.
Hillary, quick to answer.
Hillary, is it because of the three types of this bird, or is it because of the Beatles
hint?
Yep.
Okay.
Red-winged, yellow-headed, and brewers are all types of this bird
that the Beatles immortalized in a 1968 song.
Brody again, quick to answer.
I'm an amateur birder, Spencer.
Red-winged, yellow-headed, and brewers are all types of this bird
that the Beatles immortalized in a 1968 song.
Brody and Hillary confident.
our other four players
not so much.
Hmm.
No, I'm second guessing.
Hmm.
What do you got?
Show me.
Yeah.
Okay.
Grotty and Hillary agree.
I like that answer.
Randall is at a blank whiteboard down there.
No, I've got something, but I don't like it.
Red-winged, yellow-headed, and brewers
are all types of this bird
that the Beatles immortalized in a
1968 song
Alyssa
now coming up with an answer maybe
John do you have an answer
no okay Roman
do you have an answer? Yeah I've been talking about
the Beatles a lot with my friends so that was the
You know this one I'm
hopeful okay
Randall doing some
I'm torn between two answers
one I think
could be a song and then one
I think could go with one of these
Descriptions.
Red-winged, yellow-headed, and brewers.
Not a beetle fan, Randall?
I mean, the basics.
I don't know.
More of a stones guy.
Pearl Jam.
Ever clear.
Oh, that's right.
Everclear.
We're really hoping to go catch them this weekend, I heard.
Tonight.
Randall's been trying to wrangle a ticket in our company Slack channel.
Everclear and Sponge.
It's going to be sick.
Sponge I'm not familiar with.
Yeah, who's Sponge?
just like another 90s
a lesser ever clear
yeah
they don't have a Santa Monica
or father of mind
no I mean Santa Monica if I could
just put one song
on repeat have they moved on to the county
fair circuit is that where they're at now
or yes
because I think they've played a county fair here in
Montana well an exhibit is coming
to a exhibit is coming
to Billings later this month
I'm excited for that
is everybody ready
go ahead and
reveal your answers. We have Alyssa
saying Robin, Roman,
and Randall and John
and Hillary and Brody say Blackbird.
They got it. The correct answer is
Blackbird. The Beatles
were singing about the Eurasian
Blackbird in their song that's simply
called Blackbird. At the end of the tune,
you actually hear the song of a
real Blackbird. American Songwriter
magazine declared it the 16th
best Beatles song of all time.
It's not by-bye Blackbird.
How does it go? No. That's what
I was thinking of.
Oh, yeah.
That's it, Bill.
Oh, jeez.
I really like one of those red-wing blackbirds show up in March, because then, you know, like, winter's over.
They just sound like a marsh to me.
Like, I'm like a mung fish.
I'm near water when I hear a red whale.
They like cat tails.
That's right.
Question three, the topic is hunting.
This is our listener question of the week, which was won by Randy Hodge for sending this great question.
Randy 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 at the meeditor.com.
This rail with evenly spaced grooves was developed by the military in the late 1980s and has since become the most popular rail on rifles.
Randy and Brody, quick to answer, this rail with evenly spaced grooves was developed by the military in the late 1980s,
in a sense become the most popular rail on rifles.
John also has his answer.
Hmm.
What was that grown, Randall?
Oh, just the game's getting exciting again.
We started out with a bird question and a volcanoes.
Now guns.
Yeah.
This rail with evenly spaced grooves was developed by the military in the late 1980s,
in a sense become the most popular rail on.
rifles.
You've been doing any
parking lot
gun transactions
lately
Randall?
Not lately.
It's been
pretty static
in that realm.
Is everybody
ready?
Doing more
experiments lately.
Go ahead and
reveal your answers.
Alyssa without an
answer,
Roman says
Ark.
Randall and
John say
Picotinny.
Hillary, without
an answer,
Brody,
Picotinie.
The correct answer
is Picotinny,
P-I-C-C-C-C-E.
T-I-N-N-Y.
The Picatinny Rail is named after the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey, where it was designed
and developed.
The Picotinny Rail largely replaced the Weaver Rail for both the military and civilians.
In most cases, accessories designed for weaver rails will also work on Picatinny Rails,
but not the other way around.
Randall, do you have anything that still has a weaver rail on it?
No, I do not.
Everything you own is over to Picoteney.
All picatinny or like a direct mount, like a machined in rail.
Question four, the topic is fishing.
This company with a cloudy name was purchased by Rappala in 1999 and is best known for the Wiggle Wart, Thunderstick, and Hottentot.
Randall, surprisingly optimistic about a fishing question here.
This company with a cloudy name was.
purchased by Rappala in 1999 and is best known for the Wiggle Wart, Thunderstick, and Hottentot.
Brody, do you think you own a Wiggle Wart, Thunderstick, or Hotentot?
I do not own any of those.
He also doesn't have an answer yet.
Company with a cloudy name was purchased by Rappala in 1999 and is best known for the Wiggle Wart,
thunderstick, and Hotentot.
John, do you have this one right?
I don't know if I have it right, but I have an idea.
Makes sense.
I have had a hot and tot before.
I fished with them in Canada a few times.
And I think I got it.
It's folks in the northern part of the country.
I think they like their wiggle warts, thunder sticks, and hot and tots.
Be still, my heart.
Brody is trying to beat the answer.
out of his head.
He's tapping the whiteboard
against the bill of his hat.
He still has
a blank whiteboard.
No, I got...
Okay.
This company with a cloudy name
was purchased by Rappala in 1999
and is best known
for the Wiggle Wart,
Thunderstick,
and Hotentot.
Is everybody ready?
I think so.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Alyssa says Stormy, Roman, without an answer, Randall Stormy, John Storm, Hilary, Nimbus, Brody, Thunderhead.
The correct answer is Storm.
Oh, we just added why on the end.
We should not give that to them, right?
No, except for John.
John had it right.
Storm.
The company.
The company was created by the Storm Brothers in Norman, Oklahoma in the 1960s.
The wiggle warts that were made by storm prior to the buyout in 1999 had become coveted among anglers.
According to collectors, the OG wiggle warts used a misaligned mold that created the lure's famously erratic action.
Rappala perfected the mold in the early 2000s, which supposedly ruined the crankbait's enticing dance.
Question five.
Topic is cooking.
This next great question is via Carl Sutman.
This parasitic flatworm with a five-letter name
can show up in your liver after eating undercooked fish.
Brody and Randall already have their whiteboards down.
This parasitic flatworm with a five-letter name
can show up in your liver after eating undercooked fish.
I wonder if I got any of that.
those things in my liver.
Hmm, I think you'd know by now.
I don't know.
Maybe not.
They had some serious symptoms we can talk about in the flavor text.
This parasitic flatworm with a five-letter name can show up in your liver after eating
undercooked fish.
Our other four players do not have an answer.
Parasitic flatworm with a five-letter name.
not to dwell on past questions
but I think stormy thunderstick
sounds like a much better lure than a storm
thunder stick. It just doesn't roll off the tongue.
It was their last name, so they just opted to go with storm.
That's fair.
Storm brothers.
I had Storm and I thought the same thing as you
and I was like, I don't think it's storm.
I just remember when we went to
went up to the boundary waters with my Boy Scout troop
and they asked
the outfitter we're using what lures to bring.
It just said, storm thunder sticks.
Oh.
Just storm thunder sticks.
Long crank bait.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, they got a long, slender body.
That's like the only thing that I was like, oh, interesting.
No spoons.
Did you make it to Eagle Scout status?
I did.
Yes.
I am an Eagle Scout.
Wow.
Mm-hmm.
I didn't know we were among such a high-class outdoorsman.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's why I'm so confident.
Parasitic flatworm with a five-letter name
that can show up in your liver after eating undercooked fish
Is everybody ready?
Troop 286, the Dan Beard Council
What'd you do to get your Eagle Scout status?
My project?
There's a farm that was owned by like the Cincinnati Nature Center
and they do a bunch of like outdoor head classes there.
So we did a couple projects for them,
one of which was rebuilding a giant wagon
that they use, and then we
built stairs down to a pond, so
it was more accessible for...
Some real Boy Scouts, yeah. Just Pulsome.
Go ahead
and reveal your answers. We have Alyssa
saying, blood. Roman,
without an answer, Randall says,
Fluke, John, and Hillary, without
an answer, Brody says fluke. The correct
answer is fluke.
Liver flukes create
symptoms like fever, abdominal pain,
nausea, and vomiting, and if
left untreated, they can cause serious
organ damage, you can get a liver fluke by eating undercooked fish, aquatic plants that weren't
properly washed or from drinking contaminated water. All right, we're halfway through the game
of trivia, Phil. Give us a scoreboard update. Here after question five, we have Alyssa with
zero points. Roman and Hillary have one point apiece. Randall and John are tied up with three,
and in first place is Brody Henderson with four points. Tough round so far.

Our crew at Meat Eater has centuries worth of collective experience procuring and preparing meat,
hunting, butchering, preserving, cooking it for ourselves and our families.
I've chased it from one end of the world to the other,
grilling caribou steaks in the Arctic,
butchering elk in the high country of the Rockies,
drying fish in the headwaters of the Amazon.
The main thing I've learned is that there's nothing better than knowing where your meat comes from.
So when we set out to make jerky and sticks with our own recipes perfected on Wild Game,
I wanted to start with the American Buffalo, an iconic North American native that's fed this continent for thousands of years.
These are recipes I use in my own kitchen.
Not meant to mimic what's already out there.
They're meant to showcase everything I've learned about good meat from the wide,
or from the ranch.
This ain't your typical phony gas station jerky.
It's American Buffalo done right, and it's just the beginning.
Meat eater snacks from folks who know meat.
Question six.
The topic is conservation.
This next great question is via Titus McKenzie.
This was the third most visited National Park in 2023, which shares its name with a hill in Jerusalem.
Randall has his answer
This was the third most visited
National Park in 2023
which shares its name with a hill in Jerusalem
Randall the only
player with an answer so far
again question six
topic is conservation
Alyssa has now joined him
this was the third most visited
national park in 2023
which shares its name with a hill in Jerusalem.
I don't even know if this is a national park.
I'm tempted to add a why to this, just to make a funny bit.
Now I know I'm wrong.
Go to the end.
Just to the end.
I guess if you have a question,
an answer that ends in why, it would be a problem.
It would be really funny.
Phil, your hat's throwing me off.
I thought that too.
I never see Phil in a hat.
Oh, this is how you know I haven't done my,
I didn't do anything to my hair.
I was going to say, did something happen?
No.
It was the third most visited national park in 2023, which shares its name with a hill in Jerusalem.
It's like worried when you walked in that maybe cut yourself or something, bumped your head again.
I'm in mourning about someone.
I don't know.
Brody, do you have an answer?
No, I don't.
Oh, no.
Bowie's drawn to a blank.
Third most visited park in 2023.
I'll be mad when I hear it, I'm sure.
He's just going with a blank whiteboard for this one.
Yeah.
It's everybody ready.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Alyssa saying Nazareth, Roman, Yosemite.
Randall says Zion, John, Acadia, Hillary, Yosemite, Brody without an answer.
The correct answer is Zion National Park.
It was officially protected in 1909 as Muckin' To Weep National Monument, which is a piute word for Strait Canyon.
But in 1918, the Park Service changed it to Zion National Monument, which is what the Mormon settlers referred to the area as.
Historians say the name change was because the Park Service believed people were less likely to visit an area if they couldn't pronounce the name.
A year later, a year after that, Zion went from a national monument to a national.
Park. Question 7. The topic is
Woodsmanship. What month
has the longest night of the year in the
Northern Hemisphere?
What month has the longest
night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere?
This is question 7.
I think Randall's correct answer
on the last one is tied him up with Brody.
What month has the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere?
Randall, after a lot of thinking down there, has placed his whiteboard on the table.
I just can't tell if I'm underthinking this or overthinking this.
Same here.
What month has the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere?
Calendar questions have been throwing me off recently, too.
No, the, what was the one?
Oh, pheasants.
Pheasants hatching.
Birds, calendars.
Mm-hmm.
A lot of weak spots in my game these days.
What month has the longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere?
Is everybody ready?
No.
Okay.
Hillary's done to me racing.
John, coming up with another answer.
Roman do you have this one right
I'm similar to Randall I don't know if I'm over under thinking this one
I mean that's tough it's tough go ahead and reveal your answers we have
Alyssa saying January Roman January Randall December John February Hillary Hillary
Hillary December Brody December correct answer
is December
half of our players got that one right
this is known as the winter solstice
which is almost always on December 21st
while the summer solstice is in June
that means it's flipped for our friends
in the Southern Hemisphere who have the summer
solstice in December and winter
solstice in June
I was wondering if maybe
there is some catch up in the Arctic
hmm
yeah
question eight
The topic is fishing.
Located south of Cape Cod and west of Nantucket, this island hosts one of America's longest-running fishing tournaments.
Located south of Cape Cod and west of Nantucket, this island hosts one of America's longest-running fishing tournaments.
Hillary, a New Englander, looks confident.
Randall also likes his answer
Brody's still thinking
located south of Cape Cod
and west of Nantucket. This island hosts
one of America's longest running
fishing tournaments.
This is question eight. So we'll get another
scoreboard update from Phil after this.
Hillary,
have you been to this place?
If I'm correct yet. What were you doing there?
Not telling you. Oh, okay.
Because you don't want to give
anyone the answer or you're just up to some okay located south of cape cod and west of nantucket
this island hosts one of america's longest running fishing tournaments
i've done some fishing on this okay that's fun uh randall who also likes his answer have you
been to this place no brodie has his whiteboard down brodie what percent chance do you have
this one right no i don't know
Let's say 50.
Okay.
They're really good clam chowder there.
Mm.
All right.
Hillary didn't want to say what she was doing at this place.
And now she's...
Sounds like she was eating clam chowder.
I don't even know if what I wrote down is technically...
In any part of this quote.
Okay.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Alyssa saying Boston.
Roman.
Without an answer, Randall says Martha's Vineyard.
John, Long Island, Hillary.
and Brody say Martha's Vineyard.
They got it.
The correct answer is Martha's Vineyard.
Simply referred to as the Derby.
This fishing tournament has been going on since 1946.
This year it runs from September 14th to October 18th, meaning it's happening right now.
There are daily weigh-ins each morning and night, with 239 fish registered in the first three days.
So far, the big fish is a 19-pound elbecore tuna.
Hilary, what were you fishing for at Martha's Vineyard?
I've gone out on a boat.
Tried.
Didn't work, though?
No.
Okay.
How was the clam chowder, though?
Oh, it's so...
Pull that mic up, Hillary.
Sorry.
The clam chowder there is top notch.
Good, good.
Get the New England, not the Manhattan.
Oh, yeah.
I didn't think they would serve both there.
Yeah, that'd be weird.
They don't.
Oh, okay.
I don't ask for it.
I don't get a real.
It's not a real chowder.
You'd be a rookie if you did that.
What's the difference?
I don't know.
One is cream
New England is cream based
Manhattan is like
Tomato
Tomato based
Oh
Yeah
And Brody said on an early
Earlier episode that he liked
The Manhattan as a kid
Right
Yeah yeah
That's like
It was like Campbell's
Sure
Campbell's
It's not its place in the world
But not in the world
Yeah
All right Phil
Give us a scoreboard update
With two questions to go
Mm
That's not
Uh
Alyssa is
playing the game.
We got Roman with one point.
John and Hillary have three points apiece and now all tied up.
Our Randall and Brody with six.
Given that Alyssa is not on the board, I am inclined to revisit the storm stormy.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
I do think.
I conceded initially, but.
Liz said a big meeting.
She had a lead for the whole company.
It was unfair to even ask her to come here and play this game.
Yeah, I'll take all this.
Thank you.
Question nine, the topic is conservation.
This alliterative agriculture practice that reduces erosion and weeds is defined as, quote,
a crop grown for the protection and enrichment of soil.
Randall already has his answer, John, as well.
This alliterative agriculture practice that reduces erosion and weeds is defined as a crop grown for the
protection and enrichment of soil.
Brody looks stumped. Again, this is question nine.
This alliterative agriculture practice that reduces erosion and weeds is defined as a crop
grown for the protection and enrichment of soil. Four players with blank whiteboards
in the room. This is a stumper.
Brody now coming up with an answer, maybe.
Randall, do you think Brody's going to get this one right?
I don't know.
I'm not trying to weigh in on this.
How about you?
I feel like I blew.
You're going to get this one right?
I think I have a good shot.
Okay.
I feel like I blew my chance with Storm, Stormy.
You're right there.
I was hopeful that he was going to fumble on the Martha's Vineyard question,
but I also knew that he knew of the Martha's Vineyard Derby.
Yeah.
Boy, you knew that he knew of the derby?
I did because I brought it up in a meeting two years ago.
Really?
No.
And I never forget.
I'd never heard of it until I was writing this question.
Oh, there's a fabulous feature in Field and Streamer Outdoor Life many, many years ago about the derby.
And then also, it's like a classic, there's a book about striper fishing.
And I think there's like a whole chapter about the derby in that.
That's, what's it called?
I thought I found something that the rest of the country didn't know about.
Oh, no.
Stumbled across that.
It's like, damn.
I think it does claim to be the oldest fishing tournament.
I couldn't find that on their website.
So I just put one of the oldest, knowing that there couldn't be many that had been going on for longer.
This alliterative agriculture practice that reduces erosion and weeds is defined as a crop grown for the protection and enrichment of soil.
Brody, do you have this one?
right. I think I got a chance.
Something came to me.
I think it might be right.
Is everybody ready?
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Alyssa says,
what's that say? Mitigation.
Roman, without an answer, Randall,
cover crop, John, cover crop,
Hillary, cash crop,
Brody, cover crop. The correct
answer is cover crop.
A cover crop also enhances
water availability, water filtration,
improves erration, helps control pests and diseases, and increases biodiversity.
Some examples of cover crops include barley, alpha, oats, sorghum, buckwheat,
rye, grass, and clover, a 2025 USDA survey found that farmers who plant cover crops
are more likely to adopt other conservation practices as well.
Here's a correct answer review so far.

bill let's get one last scoreboard update it's down to randle and brodie seven points a piece
going into question ten question ten the topic is hunting this is the home city of lee ellis
and drew carroll from seek one which is where they got famous for kill
killing giant urban white tails.
This is the home city of Lee Ellis and Drew Carroll from Seek One,
which is where they got famous for killing giant urban white tails.
When I glance at the board, I thought it said the home city of Drew Carey,
and I got super excited, and then I couldn't figure out the connection to the media universe.
Drew Carey thinks
It could be
I know
Is that Cleveland, Randall?
Is that just the Drew Carey show?
Cleveland rocks
I should say the character Drew Carey
Not the actor
Showman game show host
Famous showman Drew Carey
This is the home city of Lee Ellis
And Drew Carroll from Seek 1
Which is where they got famous
For killing giant urban white tails
Randall do you like your answer
Not in the least.
Brody, do you like your answer?
No.
Okay.
Not something I'm familiar with.
How about you, John?
No.
Okay.
This may be a zero percent.
This is the home city of Lee Ellis and Drew Carroll from Seek One, which is where they got famous for killing giant urban white tails.
Drew Carey, the man, was indeed born in Cleveland, Ohio.
I figured he liked it too much to be from somewhere else.
He really leaned into it.
Maybe a little too much.
Maybe a little too much.
Is everybody ready?
Moses, Cleveland.
Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Alyssa says Milwaukee.
Roman, Oklahoma City, Randall, Columbus,
John, Pittsburgh, Hillary, Tallahassee,
Brody, Washington, D.C.
The correct answer is Atlanta.
Nobody got it right.
Lee and Drew created C.
week one in 2015. They killed multiple Booner Bucks within city limits, which isn't as crazy
as it might sound. Much of Atlanta's deer herd has genetics that trace back to stocking programs
from the 1940s and 50s, where Wisconsin Whitetails were cut loose in the southeast. The Southern
Outdoorsman podcast says those urban bucks are able to maximize their antler growth through low
stress and lots of birthdays. Alyssa, you've spent part of your life in Atlanta. Do you remember
seeing some giant white tails there.
I do not.
No.
Weren't around in your day.
No, I mean, I definitely saw a white tail.
But I did not.
I would not have thought that that was the answer.
Many Booner Bucks have been killed by them, I think, and one over 200 inches.
Jeez.
Seek one boys.
All right, we're going to overtime.
Play the drop, Phil.
Tiebreaker.
A lot of these lately.
Yeah, we went, remember that long stretch we had with no tie breakers?
We had like three months.
Yeah.
It didn't happen, and now it's been like every other episode.
All right, down for the tiebreaker.
It is Randall and Brody.
This will be a numerical question.
Whoever is closest between them will be declared the winner.
But our other four players are going to also participate
because if somebody gets it right on the nose,
meat eater will add an extra $100 donation to the end of the game.
The tie-breaking topic is cooking.
A 2017 study found that the average,
white-tail buck in Ohio yields this many pounds of boneless meat.
A 2017 study found that the average white-tail buck in Ohio yields this many pounds of
boneless meat. I'll give you a little more context. This study looked at the butcher
results of 115 white-tailed deer from Ohio's gun season.
We'll have you do a whole number
That way you have a chance of getting it right on the nose
A 2017 study found that the average white-tailed buck in Ohio
Yields this many pounds of boneless meat
We want you to come up with an answer
So you can get it right on the nose
That was like from
115 white-tailed deer from Ohio's gun season
I looked at the butcher results of those
Like from processors
Yes
I feel like
Again we'll do a whole number
On this one
2017 study found that the average
White-tailed buck in Ohio
yields this many pounds of boneless meat
A lot of thinking from Brody and Randall.
I've seen Randall write down a lot of numbers over there.
Yeah.
From your neck of the woods.
I know.
You processed many bucks, I imagine, that were killed during Ohio's gun season.
No, never killed a buck during gun season in Ohio.
Do you use one of those arrow guns?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Barnett Rhino.
Nice.
All right.
Is everybody ready?
Came with a scope and five bolts.
Go ahead.
And reveal your answers.
We have Alyssa saying 64 pounds.
Roman 44.
John 65.
Hillary says 73.
Our two players left.
We have Randall saying 67.
Brody saying 53.
The correct answer is 63 pounds.
Alyssa was only one off and, excuse me, and Randall is our winner.
He was four pounds off.
To be specific, it was 62.51 pounds.
Again, this study looked at the butcher results for 115 white-tailed deer from Ohio's gun season.
They found that the average buck weighed 130 pounds field-dressed and had 63 pounds of boneless meat.
While a dough was 92 pounds field-dressed and had 45 pounds of boneless meat,
they determined the meat yield off of a field-dressed white-tail is about 49%.
Some excellent guesses in the room.
John, Randall, Hillary, all very, very close to the correct answer of 63 pounds.
All right, Randall, what are you doing with your $500 today?
Well, I'm really far behind on my list of donation requests.
It's become embarrassing lately.
Given the tiebreaker and given some recent events, I'd like to donate this to the Ohio
Conservation Federation.
What do they do?
They work on all types of issues.
affecting sportsmen and women in Ohio.
And when I was at the tailgate tour,
I was about to walk a good long distance to the game.
And Matt from the Ohio Conservation Federation gave me a ride all the way down,
all the way down to Ohio Stadium.
A $500 Uber.
Yeah.
So, yeah, they're working right now, I believe.
I'm going to butcher this probably,
but there's some timberlands that are being divested
and they're trying to fundraise
to help the state acquire them
to provide more access for hunters and anglers in Ohio.
So that's their priority right now
as working with the state legislature
to get that across the line.
$500 going to the Ohio Conservation Federation.
I think the moral of the story is just pick up hitchhikers.
Yeah.
Maybe it'll pay off in the future.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, someday.
You've maybe looked like one that day.
You know, it's just a kind man, and I learned a lot from him, so I appreciate it.
Well, Don, Randall.
