Transcript

0:00 I'm scared to ask you too many questions until we get live. It's been crazy. Met Kim in Sydney and then straight here to la and and i'm just being polite and thinking there's something going on so let's just get him done That's what it is, yeah. That's just not true. I forget whose podcast it was. So what happened? Yeah, they're like a real feral inbred looking.

3:00 And that's pretty much a purebred Brahman, that one. That red one that you were just under? straight through fences. generations will come in and interbreed with it and then sort of wrecks the herd. And when did Like, he literally got up to it and it jumped up. Once in the air because the Royal Flying Doctors come in and grabbed him I think he was only 36 or 37. Do you think it had anything to do with the accident? I don't reckon it was related at all. Really? Yeah. When? I think it was only 36 or 37.

5:37 Life's not fair, eh? I like those. What kind of bow you have? like john dudley's uh tips that he does like he does these live instagram and youtube but facebook from not just hunting, from a hunting hunting standpoint but from just target archery Because I want to get back and get it over with. And she just made some stupid promises to this Balinese woman.

8:08 Oh, humid. We went to a different place today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I did. I've got to be honest with you. I think it was a female anyway real old croc. Yeah. Saltwater crocodile. Like people who live in Florida, don't get those confused with alligators. So the freshwater crocodiles are not as aggressive? When the amount of food is unavailable, The way they die is out of starvation or if they contract a disease.

11:22 as the largest crocodile in captivity measures 17 feet, 11.75 inches. He's been capturing just about everything in Australia for the last millennium. So it's not like they're going to starve to death. There's laws protecting them. So everything we're hunting is an introduced species. That sounds crazy. Crocodiles are natives, so you can't hunt kangaroos you can't hunt any native so everything we're hunting is an introduced species that sounds crazy the natives so you can't hunt them there's been

13:16 Donkeys, wild horses, even the funny ones that people don't think about, like donkeys, wild horses, camels. So they're only hunting just to get rid of the invasive species? Then they lay around and die a slow death of a couple of months and see that a cull or a hunting program is actually better welfare for the animals They take them out. What's going on here, Jamie?

15:24 This guy's got a gaff. Why do they have helmets on? Maybe they're going to headbutt it. Take this. But why are they wearing red camo? That's why they got their helmets on. He's a big fucker, and he's got his mouth open too. And we used to go to this place called Lake Alice and we would throw marshmallows into the water and the alligators would come up and eat the marshmallows.

16:36 Now there's so many alligators that they have that. and they'll take a heap of meat. It'd be pretty cool. people's dogs jump in they get taken i think i've seen a video i don't know if it was in darwin Crazy own. God, that thing is so big. I think they just look at everything as potentially food. Jim Shockey's Uncharted, one of the ones, he went to Africa.

19:21 Everyone in the village had, like, an arm missing or a chunk cut out of their head. Yeah. small very primitive village and all they have is the water I mean that's people that live there. You've just got to imagine if this is This is one of the reasons why I do these radical hunts, Oh, yeah. Yeah. you can find that video is that on your instagram it might be still live on the instagram oh no it's

22:01 Yeah, I'm by myself here, yeah. Yeah, here I am. It's that.00001 that's going to fuck you up, though. And I've drank, there was one time I was so desperate for water, Yeah, shouldn't it? I see you got a Mountain Ops bottle. of montana yeah trying to find a spot with limited hunters and more elk. Do you think you got sick from water or something? Did you drink right out of the ground?

25:17 But I've never been tent bound in my life and I'm just like, and be like, oh, fuck, you know, Wow. My pants were falling off me, dude. jerky helped as well but i'm like so i'm gonna start a weight loss program burt kreischer my some dude trying to milk his nipples. and and i've always been the person that doesn't take anything for granted anyway but it's just

27:41 He's like, come over to this area. And doing it solo, I'm like, you're a dickhead if you do that again because you've got three young kids and a beautiful wife. where there's supposed to be less grizzlies, and I've copped so much flack over that. And you'll see the video, like, oh, there's a black bear over there. The big raked up shoulders, the big square head.

29:36 You got a good look at it? I'm like, there's a big mama grizzly up there. I'm like, cool. I'm like, fuck. amount of people there's been multiple sightings in the area i don't want to say the area because Well, what does that mean though? want i mean i don't understand why they would want to deny the existence why no even though i but a And when you look at a map and you look at the range,

32:22 Why do they think they're not there? Hmm. This thing that I've seen towers over that. this it's like the last part of the hair goes silver she's that she's the right color the right From 2011, it says, actually. It's as big as it gets. If it's a younger grizzly then maybe not but you know she just had this freaking massive head dude like flared out

34:46 been a good seven hours in the back then and that's because there was no elk that's going The people that live in BC are terrified of that now. Yeah, that's right. where they're really in-depth accounting of all the bears. Because a lot of these people just want to sit back and just let these animals do what they want to do. get a lot of pets you're gonna get a lot of human death Got a lot of get a lot of pets getting a lot of animals that are gonna invade into farmlands

37:38 We don't want that in BC. We just want to see a healthy population. They're just populated. And I got laughed at because I went to the archery range and shot in it. you know pull it pull the gun out and have a heap of time so I was practicing shooting with one hand and everything like that anyway when it come to going on the hunt he gave me some for now i'll just tell it how it went and i pulled the gun out i yelled at her again like that she

41:12 you know she never showed up and i stayed there for a little while i'm like just start backing up Like there was no doubt about that. I never would have gotten off a shot I would never would have gotten off a shot And I kept thinking, like, there's a slide lock on the gun, and I kept thinking that bear spray from Cabela's. either going to, when she was on me,

43:23 I feel like it would just be instinct to try and go back at it you know oh well they're so goddamn powerful so that happened and if I'm going to do this hunt, I want to have someone with me, Then I was going to have Under Armour film the hunt, You know, you're just going to encounter a grizzly. I think I might have been like this when I started the show.

44:47 I watched a video probably a week ago, and it was just not of an attack or anything. I'm thinking about that grizzly running at me. They got charged by a big male grizzly on Kodiak. And they shot an elk. And they're packing this thing out. have to there's a real live monster yeah but we're just used to seeing it we call it a grizzly bear yeah okay it fucking can eat you oh it eats everything it eats everything they're just

47:26 Yeah, they want to help the populations grow. they sent me some pictures recently of some bears on a more frequent basis. it's all done by wildlife exactly yeah there's a heap of revenue there it's an So, you know, but there has to be that two sides because you can't go fully one way or fully the other. It's like keeping them out. Like you could tell them i mean maybe if they maybe they've heard you like be around them and understand what the fuck this is this is a giant 1500 pound monster yeah that

50:47 people occasionally when they're running these trails, they're running got a depredation permit to kill the mountain lion, It's just emotional. All these fucking mother grizzly and be like i want to shoot you if you look at the video you'll actually hear me More and more bears. They're all Because they're afraid of being shot. and everything, mate.

53:57 He'd just be sitting in the vehicle driving along say tada oh i'm fucking getting blanks is like a magician would say tada no no it's like tada He's brought it up. Usually a pejorative or self-deprecating for a woman of loose sexual morals. Mole, yeah. And then I only had three days at that point to try and, because, you know, I was after a bull elk.

56:45 males or have the potential of getting killed in combat when they clash and that's the whole reason You know, you get a set of antlers, which is, to me, a memory. It's not like about, I don't cut the head off and just walk out of the antlers. I had opportunities. grizzly went me so you know i had opportunities to shoot bulls but i pretty much went 21 days

58:57 like that's ridiculous like where's the challenge in that how are you gonna be better at doing what I want to get to that point, wear myself right down, because I feel like that's the most you ever grow, you know, in any sort of hardship. That's like six, seven days. 28 days? and went to the Innovation Center and hung out with Yeti for like a couple of days.

1:00:48 You know what I mean? and I'm sitting on that mountain. like i'm on a drug yeah and i called him up and I go, dude, I've never been happier. But every time I come home, every time I'm away, I thinking about them flat out you know i actually just renewed my vows with I've been saying it the last frigging month. because i'm fucking happy because you're crazy. I ain't doing anything out of the ordinary to fucking die.

1:03:39 Did you get back and tell that dude who gave you the 45? And the worst thing is, I'm sleeping at the elevation that she's at, and she's only about even with that one shell in the chamber yeah it would have not fucking good. She's probably thinking it's a mosquito bite if it came to her. man documentary one of the craziest things was watching the two grizzlies fight they were just

1:05:47 haynes and a grizzly that he shot in alaska and he's holding up its paw it's yeah and i think the Do you drink coffee? I love that dude there. Break its spine. Oh, come on, man. Right there. short-nosed bear what was it was that bear that lived in the um i've seen the photo short-faced There's a grizzly, polar, and then the polar's big daddy. So how long have they been extinct for?

1:08:52 It's really not that long. The guy up in the And that's a real animal. So it's like, oh, cool. but there was one place where you could go, First man image. that's lightning in those clouds there so i end up getting the fire the lightning and then the And like you said, the light pollution. Like the trade-off is almost not worth it. But if you just ate those real simple items now,

1:11:57 what were you thinking of just fucking anything like what was but what was the one is there one Yeah. It's all temperature controlled. Yeah, because there was such a huge indigenous population up there. I'm like, there's a whole human remains tucked in the rocks there, wrapped in paper bark, which is a paper bark in America type of tree. this is some stuff we talked about at my house after we did the podcast last time

1:14:53 they'd get this detail in this rock that was just amazing. paintings on there that's a picture that i took a couple of years ago now but there's so many And we pull up at a little creek system, and she just sort of pointed it out. the cave like there's no big rocks or anything sitting around anymore there's still the grinding down onto the flats and the kids were told not to kill any serpents, like don't kill a snake. You know, they were off limits.

1:17:52 mother serpent you know heard this commotion the kids go back up to the escarpment and into the that was one of the first cattle stations in the northern territory of australia and the indigenous It's the second one. Yeah. So they're a beautiful race, but they're still very young to western society you know um i think we is part of the colony of New South Wales.

1:20:33 And so these people have been there for how many thousands of years before that? on this part of the mainland Recently? And I can't remember how it ends, but, you know, that Egyptians had come here just because of some of the signs that they found. area in the pilbara that's what i mentioned earlier that's right near where i have my business Yeah. people whether it's arnhem land um where i go hunting a lot or it's with my business because

1:24:33 has the say in the relationship everything financial everything like that but just two so if they moved then they would switch roles switches and that happens all the time so they and fish that he's been catching for himself. so he got a couple of bottles of coke and all the kids and relatives are drinking the coke and like Like, ease up. Yeah, it's just normal.

1:27:20 would talk about that, and then not show up to work the next morning Because they'd get their pay, bury their dead until everyone from the mob's there. Well, if you want Indigenous employees and Indigenous business, this is what happens. you gotta get work but you gotta work to get paid goes off on a walkabout and comes back two Yeah. want they don't want some of the things that we want, you know? Right.

1:30:42 It's like there's no rush to do anything or get God. Yeah. They're not too bad, but like this side went numb. That's the fella there that bit me. poison running up my arm it come all the way up this arm sort of disappeared once it got into my I did feel a bit nauseous and stuff like that. but the day of the wedding while we're all getting ready me me good friend ben chambers

1:34:29 I've heard that they give you a real bad migraine, but they can do the same. They'll just grab onto you and keep pumping you with venom, It has a taste for what kills you. Boy, that's not a convincing argument come come visit the farm There's no crocodiles up there at all. God, it's so beautiful. and it was curled right up behind my head, This says

1:37:00 a few of them through the summer while you're hunting, but It's frigging hilarious. No. He's very Australian. Well, one of them's trying to now. He just saw one on the ground and grabbed it. He just cracks snakes with his fucking hands while he's wearing gym shorts. What is wrong with this dude? Can he identify the taste of a gun? So he hunts with his hands.

1:39:47 this what kind of buffalo a water buffalo like the one that you have the invasive ones yeah a giant Off the mark. A fuck. This must be Africa. Oh, Jesus Christ. What concerns me more than anything is that other people are going to copy this guy. Here comes this Prada line bit. like a dead animal so they could come in close. A fret? Fuck. Yeah. Yeah.

1:42:53 Stay. The closing pressure of a crocodile is around 3,500 pounds per square inch. To crack a coconut for him Tickle tickle tickle he's actually a real and there's heaps of things that you can eat but they've got to be boiled for a certain amount of raw, it's super toxic. there's actually cyanide that comes out of it That's like Bert's gay lover. Well, there's a really involved process in order to cook it.

1:46:26 they were saying ronella was talking about how they just leave them around the camp and he was Motherfucker. I nearly did it the other day. same type and then i smelled it and But what the fuck? If prepared incorrectly. yeah like so the first probably the first 11 days i ate pretty good what did you bring with you uh and then i open them up and i'm like ah that's shit you know

1:50:11 I couldn't find them anywhere, and they're more similar to a Mars bar. A house? There's a few of those weird ones. And I'm like, how'd they even come up with that? No, Jump the Gun makes sense. Like if I had reception, I'd take a photo and be like, But there'd be some areas, especially up high, where those bears were, Like frigging raspberries, blueberries.

1:52:23 hunting. Bush Tucker. And you can't say fucking as in ing it's got to be en nah fucking perfect bush tucker's food so food bush tucker tucker's food tuck tucker tucker yeah tucker yeah let's Bush tucker. So it's just a phrase. That looks like it could be magpie geese. Yali-biri. Yeah. You can. That's not fucking a real grub. They're good grubs there.

1:55:18 We're eating good grubs. What kind of peanut butter do you guys have in Australia? then you'd boil your water and then you'd get a heap of those in a leaf or on a leaf Well, it's not really honey, but it tastes like honey. Yep. So it's only strange because we don't eat it. Yeah, and frogs. I shouldn't say very. And when you check into your hotel room, they have like a little bowl of fried crickets.

1:57:29 Oh, XO? It's like the thing about vegans seems to be sentient animals and worrying about killing these feeling life forms. The fact that they move is what freaks people out. Exactly. But why? Yeah, exactly, yeah. kind of salty a little savory they were good like they were like i would buy them yeah that sounds That's like my favorite one. Like Cameron Hayes is a mad cunt.

1:59:54 it just said just be a nice cunt it's as simple as that well you guys are a very different use Yeah, nah. You shake your head yes, but you say no. no what is that it means i don't give a yeah I don't mean with you between the way women like to communicate and the way men. But I like hunting solo. Like, don't you get bored or don't you miss talking to someone or whatever?

2:02:53 that were supposed to be loved ones feeling exactly and and so the way that i'd get treated you know growing up was i'd be i'm better So you don't want someone with you that's going to mess it up or making noise? Definitely focused. It's pushing myself. Jesus. You'd be happy with that? Right. Five-day drive. It would take them five days to walk it.

2:06:41 they do they encountered well sometimes they'd have, there'd be war and stuff like that between mobs. And everyone tells a story. for the historical record i think it'd be great for human just the human race definitely yeah there's no more last frontiers i love calling arnhem land the last frontier and places like because there's all these rivers running out from the center of australia and it couldn't be the

2:10:13 rivers they're millions of years old that and for so many hundreds of thousand years they haven't no settlers before they were literally cutting the first tracks and drawing the maps dude So they keep the cattle and horses at bay. Then they ride out for three or four days and they can't they can't get to the water there's a whole mob of Indigenous people dead there.

2:12:39 but one thing that I always think about is imagine the Indigenous people So there's no way to dig down deeper to restart the well? white people ruin everything i hate to say it we've done a lot of good don't get me wrong yeah I'm like, okay, where's the water? What if we get charged? You have legit wanderlust. because I know as soon as it's documented,

2:15:26 It's a very tall order. We just got to keep progressing along the same lines. I'm sure there has been. um you put that all up on your blog too right yeah it was in a magazine but it was in a magazine that one i read And the Navajo's had the orange with the white writing on the pottery. Did they shoot it? We ended up finding three axe heads, Indian pendant,

2:18:42 and I'm like, that's taking it too fucking far. They all mean something to me. come with the indigenous population at some point. have now interbred. I don't think you can live on the island at all. The weird rules is that you can't hunt anything native. Probably delicious. And they're indigenous, Ken. They'd be Fraser Island dogs. He had it as a puppy or just a wild one?

2:21:19 A dingo ate my baby. That's a gangster-ass dog. Let it go. flake which is just a shark really yeah yeah no not here no specific australia no probably here He could fit right into Australia with a last name like Bogan. Yeah, I got it. Exactly, yeah. you can actually shoot a magpie geese with a bow and arrow so there's magpie geese and there's some But then these birds fly to other countries

2:24:34 And the issues with the sharks as well. It probably tastes pretty good. were training for a triathlon, coordination loss, blindness, and even death. They say a lot of Hawaiians don't like to eat marlin yeah you know but i've heard marlin's good yeah i think a lot of those big fish especially So 30 sharks were problematic or so 40 out of how many but they didn't test that many though right yeah i mean they didn't test

2:26:57 We'll try it again in a couple weeks. They're great. Yeah, okay. here it goes prozac puts crabs in a mood to take deadly risks shit that is wrong with me and andrew How do you say that word, Jamie? depressive symptoms, but past research has shown that when a person's Well, we're definitely a mess. I'll do some shows. If I die and everybody who likes this podcast no longer gets a podcast,

2:29:46 Maybe not. Hunt buffalo. Get chased by saltwater crocodiles and watch brown snakes slither into our camp. And first.man.image. Thanks, brother.
