• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and Chad Jones Law. Glad to have you with us
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: on a Thursday, the Clark Eisenhower edition. This portion of
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the show presented by the Dollar Floor Store. As I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, our coverage of Aggie football begins at 1030
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning here on The Zone. So we got that
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: going for us. College football tonight. James Madison App State. Liberty,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Kennesaw State, East Carolina, and Memphis. We got word yesterday
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: afternoon that Toya Jones had died. Track star and football
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: player from Refurio here at A & M. Had a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: heart attack. He was just 49 years old.
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: Also, I.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Don't want to do that one again. This is an
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: interesting story. Watching this Troy Aikman situation with Joe Buck.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: They were together 25 years. They got lots of attaboys
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for how they broadcast games. But that coupling is over.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Troy is not happy that Joe Buck got a huge contract.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: He didn't. Apparently Joe negotiated apart from Troy. Didn't tell
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: him about it. And Troy's options narrowed today because CBS
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: has signed J.J. Watt as its lead analyst, replacing Tony Romo.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think the length of the contract has been
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: discussed yet. We'll see what happens. Cornell Green has died,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: one of the great Dallas Cowboys. Drafted as an undrafted
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: free agent in 1962, was a basketball player at Utah State.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Spent 13 years in Dallas, All-Pro, Pro Bowl, Super Bowl champ.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And as I said in the first hour, absolutely inexcusable.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: He's not in the ring of honor, Jerry. I know
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Jerry's a big listener, so I want to shoot that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: out to him. He needs to put Cornell Green in
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the ring of honor. Last week, President Trump signed the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: illegal Red Snapper and Tuna Enforcement Act in the law.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Bipartisan legislation allows federal and state law enforcement to utilize
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: technology that would determine the country of origin for certain
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: species of fish. to confiscate any illegally caught fish before
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: sold in the United States. It directs the National Institute
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of Standards and Technology and NOAA to develop a standard
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: methodology for identifying the country of origin of snapper and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: certain species of tuna that are being imported into the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: United States. There are field test kits available. You know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it's easy to have rules here, but if they're doing
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: them in other countries and there's no rules importing, you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: not good. Florida, Georgia, South Carolina have all launched state-led
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Red Snapper data connection programs for its fall Red Snapper
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: season ends today. The exempted fish permits authorize anglers to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: harvest Red Snapper in state and federal waters while the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: state's test approaches to collecting recreational catch. We are still
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: dealing with this. with this because of how bad the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: feds screwed up red snapper fishing. I know you find
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: that hard to believe. The data will be reviewed, determine
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: additional harvest openings. They may reopen the season in December.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Anglers working with states as results from pilot programs that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: have become available. The Certificate of Location Program is a
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Texas coastal leasing program for the Parks and Wildlife and
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the General Land Office that support commercial oyster farming, large-scale
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: oyster reef restoration. Recent legislative and rule changes expanded the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: program beyond its original commercial focus, allowing nonprofits to and
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: conservation groups to lease degraded bay bottoms for reef recovery
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: while keeping those areas closed to harvest. Like a lot
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of things in nature, you look around, and by the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: time you discover what's happening, sometimes it is too late. CCA, Texas,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: helping fund several conservation projects, including East Galveston Bay. Large-scale
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: oyster farming has become a huge business in Texas and Louisiana.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: CCA has paid $ 5 million for its restoration commitment. Oyster
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: License Buyback Program have purchased at least 46 licenses for $ 30, 000 each,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and that has removed 30% of the fishery. So, which
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: means hopefully it will be more, a little bit more
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: sustainable in the future. Researchers suggest Florida could better control its,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: listen to me, Burmese python population estimated at somewhere between
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: 100 and 300,000 pythons. slithering around South Florida and the Everglades.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: According to Popular Science, a study published in Ecological Applications
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: found that removing mature female pythons would do the most
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to shrink the population over time, rather than focusing on
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the overall total. South Florida Water Management District Python Elimination Program. Yes,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: There is a Python elimination program because these things have
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: been so destructive. Alex Romer, co-authors A Scoring Method, said
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: previous work treated all Burmese pythons as contributing equally. But
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: removing the biggest females we've ever caught is very different
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: from removing a smaller snake that might not survive. Because
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: many younger pythons never live long enough to reproduce, taking
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: them out does far less to change the future than
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: removing breeding adults. That makes sense. The emphasis on mature females.
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: They can produce as many as 70 eggs at a time.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have seen these 15 and 16 and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: 17-foot pythons that weigh hundreds of pounds. They eat deer
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: in the Everglades and everything else that moves, including birds.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: They have effectively ruined things with the Everglades. I mean... Again,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: it was a situation. I don't know who did it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Somebody released a python that they no longer wanted, that
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: they had in captivity. And lo and behold, they discovered, hey,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: there's no natural enemies in the Everglades, and the Everglades
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: is warm and moist and perfect for python habitat. And man,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it has been a battle with these things ever since
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: that happened. You can't disturb Mother Nature. Scott Kline from
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Aspen Fly Fishing.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: A great....
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: We're out of Glenwood Springs, Colorado after a morning on
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: the Roaring Fork. And out of Aspen Fly Fishing here
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: on the Clark Eisenhower Outdoor Edition. Scott, first of all,
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: I know you guys have been powering through this summer
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: because it has not been ideal, has it?
• 12:25
  Speaker 10: It really hasn't. Worst drought in Colorado history. So very
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: low water, which means very warm water. So having to
• 12:33
  Speaker 10: fish in the morning is really all we have right now.
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: And I'm glad you brought that up. We started at
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: 7 this morning. It's voluntary, I guess, right now. Am
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: I right about that, having to be off the water
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: at noon?
• 12:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah, voluntary for the general public and mandatory for the
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: fishing outfitters.
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: That's you. That's me. We're done early.
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: I guess we go home and take naps. We had
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: a heck of a day and I didn't know what
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: to expect. I know the water is low. I know
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: the temperature is hot. But we started out really within
• 13:11
  Speaker 9: 50 yards of where we put in.
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: That's good. You can see the boat ramp when you
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: take off. You've got one on. You've got one right
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: down there, right by that bridge.
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: And let's be honest about it. You wanted to do
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: that because all the other people were watching.
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: You've got to look good leaving port. Look good leaving
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: port and coming into port. We did both.
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and everything in between. No one else knows. I've
• 13:34
  Speaker 9: always wanted to fish the Roid Fork. This is my
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: first time. I certainly was not disappointed. I'm sure there
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: are times that it fishes better in ideal conditions, but man,
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: given what we had, I thought it was a heck
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: of a morning.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: That's what it can be like. It can be really
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: good fishing.
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: There's lots of bugs, and with the drought, what happens
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: is everything's accelerated.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: So this fishing, to me, feels like it's August.
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: So a lot of the bug life, all the different
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: bugs that you see that we normally would have this
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: time of year came off in May and June.
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: So everything's totally just way ahead of schedule.
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: You told me the water level looks like October. I'm
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: wondering what October might look like as we sit here
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: right now. Well, that's why we're keeping our fingers crossed
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: for the monsoon rains.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: Which you have not had. Not yet. It's been all around,
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: but not here yet.
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: But that will help just with cloud cover and just
• 14:28
  Speaker 10: not so hot days and a little cooler nights, then
• 14:31
  Speaker 10: hopefully the water temperatures come back around and then this
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: probably won't get much lower than it already is. And
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: then once we get fall here, it's just perfect weather,
• 14:40
  Speaker 10: you know.
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: We were in a raft today, basically, not a drift
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: boat because the water is so low. Man, at what point?
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: I know you have to think about this. I can't
• 14:56
  Speaker 9: even get my raft down this river.
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: Yeah, there could become a point where we might not
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: be able to do it any longer.
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: It might get too shallow. But, you know, the.
• 15:05
  Speaker 10: Frypan River sits upstream here in the town of Basalt.
• 15:08
  Speaker 10: So that's a tailwater that flows out of Rudai Reservoir.
• 15:12
  Speaker 10: And property owners and landowners and, you know, people that
• 15:17
  Speaker 10: are growing crops down in the Mesa Valley and all that,
• 15:20
  Speaker 10: they own that water. So when they want it, they
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: call for it. And so then they release more cold
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: water through here. So with the help of that and rain...
• 15:27
  Speaker 10: We should be able to make it through the season.
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: I don't know if I've ever been to Colorado because
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: I'm not here during the melting time in March and
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: I guess in April on some years where I've seen
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: a river as brown as the Colorado was today.
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that is real bad. Completely blown out. What happened?
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: There was a major mudslide up on the upper Colorado.
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: They did get some rain, I guess. Yeah, just big
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: torrential rain, you know, for about 20 minutes all in
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: one spot. And the ground, as dry as it is,
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: it's just like a weak snowpack with avalanches. And you
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: put a whole bunch of water in one spot, and
• 16:04
  Speaker 10: it just washes stuff away.
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: And it ends up in the river. What will it
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: take to clear that river up? Just.
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: You know, that red clay dirt that we saw through
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: there is kind of heavy, so it settles on the
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: bottom fairly quick.
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: You mentioned it sure isn't good for the trout. No,
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: those poor trout down there have got it bad. But
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: I don't know. Fish are fish.
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: They'll figure it out. You know, we're not fishing at
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: all down there, even if that wasn't red like that.
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: So they'll be okay. They'll figure it out. And it's
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: the rainbows that really have the biggest trouble, the brown trout.
• 16:38
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: They're fine. They figure it out.
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: You mentioned they stock the Roaring Fork with rainbows pretty heavily,
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: do they not?
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they stock it every spring, as well as the Colorado.
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: But the Colorado needs it because of what happened with
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: the natural disaster and the forest fire and then the
• 16:59
  Speaker 10: rain on the top of the forest fire and all
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: the burn scar ash and sediment getting into the water.
• 17:04
  Speaker 10: So that actually wiped out about 60% of the fish.
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: So with the help of the stocking program, it's brought
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: it around, and it's getting better and better. But I
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: feel they probably stocked the room for too much.
• 17:16
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 17:16
  Speaker 12: And.
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: Yes. But there's some pretty good fish in there. There's
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: some good ones.
• 17:22
  Speaker 10: And the fingerlings that they put in will eventually mature
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: enough where they will spawn.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: So there is a combination of wild rainbows and stocked rainbows.
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: You told me this stocked rainbow is like almost a
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: new species in that it grows really rapidly.
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: Correct. Yeah, that's the hofer rainbow, which is.
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: Named after the scientist that developed the fish where it's.
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: Whirling disease resistant. Which is huge, by the way.
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: Right, because that's what wiped this river out in the
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: 70s was that parasite. And it attached itself to the
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: nervous system of the rainbow trout and caused them to
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: swim in circles. And then they got deformities on their
• 18:00
  Speaker 10: backs and on their tails. And then they eventually stopped
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: eating and all died. But so now with the new hofer,
• 18:08
  Speaker 10: that disease can't get in here. And then these fish
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: grow way faster than normal fish.
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: We were talking while we were floating down the river today.
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: You are a red fisherman as well. You go to Cocodrie,
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: Louisiana during the off time of.
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: Your year here. Yeah, in the winter months.
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: All these other fishing guides around here are ski instructors.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: Which you used to do. Yeah, you do all that.
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: That's what you do.
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: Most everybody that lives here came here for the ski season,
• 18:38
  Speaker 10: and they stayed for one summer, and the next thing
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: you know, they're here.
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: For 35 years.
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: But the point being, you've got to have multiple jobs
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: around here because the fishing season doesn't last all year.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it is a very seasonal job. Exactly.
• 18:53
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: So, yeah, you got to do something else in the winter.
• 18:57
  Speaker 10: You can fish year-round here, though. There's no fish.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: Closure or anything like that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 10: But if we ever do get a real winter, the
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: ruin fork here will ice over to the point where
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: you're definitely not going to get a boat through.
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: And it will be unfishable in certain spots. So what
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: led you to Louisiana and the redfish there?
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: Just wanting to fish every day. Keep on fishing and then.
• 19:18
  Speaker 10: I've parlayed it into getting my clients here to follow
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: me there. And they ask me, well, you know, we're
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: out fishing throughout the day.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: What do you do? And I'm like, oh, I head
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: on down to Louisiana and chase the redfish around.
• 19:27
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: Which is becoming a very popular.
• 19:29
  Speaker 10: Thing down there because it's one of the only wintertime
• 19:32
  Speaker 10: fisheries for saltwater fishermen.
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: And it's very popular. Anywhere.
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: I mean, you're saying people from Florida sometimes come. if
• 19:41
  Speaker 9: they wanna catch redfish, they come to Louisiana during the
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: middle of the winter.
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: A lot of people from Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina,
• 19:49
  Speaker 10: lots of places. And, you know, I don't really like them,
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: but the fly fish film tours and these guys get
• 19:56
  Speaker 10: out there and make movies and all that stuff.
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: You know, fly fishing used.
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: To be kind of like the gentleman's snooty sport where
• 20:02
  Speaker 10: you're sports walking around smoking cigars, you know. But now
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: all the kids are into it, too. And I call
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: them the straight brimmers. You know, they don't have a
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: bend in their hat. And but it's popular now. So
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: it's just really spread the sport. But those fly fish
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: films really bring people into it.
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: And we're talking about big redfish during the middle of
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: the winter.
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: That's what we're targeting.
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: But it's the best part about the redfish and with
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: the fly rod, it's all sight fishing. So you're casting
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: to the fish that you see. I mean, we blind
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: cast with spinning rods and stuff like that. But when
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: you're hunting with the fly rod, it's like going hunting.
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: You're waiting to see a target and you aim at them.
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: So how often did trout get in the way?
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: Sea trout, spotted sea trout? They don't really get in
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: the way that much because they're just in different areas.
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: Not that shallow. Right.
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: You're not really sight fishing for them. They do in Texas, though,
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: because that's where the bona fide real big ones are.
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: And they're actually even harder to catch redfish. So that's
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: a great target to fish for. How would you describe
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: the fishery in Kokodri?
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: Like when you first went there, when you first fished,
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: what was your impression?
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: Well, I moved to Cocodrie just about six or seven
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: years ago. I first started in Delacroix and Hopedale. And
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: that was a little closer to New Orleans and a
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: little bit easier place to get to. And I, over
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: the 12, 13 years that I stayed there, I watched
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: the fishery decline. And there's basically what's happened is there's
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: saltwater intrusion with too much freshwater coming out of the
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: Mississippi River. And it's what they say, no islands never
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: should have been built, right? Because it's going to be
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: surrounded by water one day. Well, that's exactly what happened
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: down there. And stuff that I fished, there's islands that
• 21:41
  Speaker 10: are gone now. And then it used to be gin
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: clear water when I started. Now it's Mississippi mud water.
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: And you can't, the fish are still there. Hard to
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: side fish that. Hard to side fish that. And then
• 21:52
  Speaker 10: it's killed the commercial fishing guys because it It clobbered
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: the mullet, it clobbered the shrimp, clobbered the crabs, and
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: all that stuff that the local commercial guys hunt for.
• 22:04
  Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah.
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: So they put them out of business, too.
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: Okay, so two things. I want to mention Aspen Fly Fishing.
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: I know folks can just Google that, right?
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, AspenFlyFishing.com.
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: And what you were telling me was this isn't a
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: fly shop. This is a fishing guide business. They'll come
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: to you. Yeah, it's a guide service.
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: I mean, we do have a shop, but we're not
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: selling all the top-end fly rods and all that.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: We have hats and T-shirts and some terminal tackle and
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: flies and stuff like that.
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: But for the most part, it's, you know, guides picking
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: you up and taking you out fishing and then bringing
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: you back.
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: And it's all top-of-the-line gear. Noom Sims boots and waders.
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: And all the guys that are doing the wade fishing,
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: they've all been doing it for as long as I have.
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: So you usually get a pretty... season guide.
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: In a normal year, if there is such a thing
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: as normal, how much water do you have to fish
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: within a diameter of where we're sitting right now?
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: For floating? Or anything? Well, for the whole thing, the
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: Roaring Fork is 65 miles long.
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: It's headwaters up above Aspen, and as it travels all
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: the way down here in Enfys where we finished today
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: in the Colorado River.
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: So, all that can be fished. However, there's a ton
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: of private property.
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: So that's the one real nice thing of the drift
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: boats and the rafts is that we can float through
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: that water because they don't know the water, just the land.
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: So in the upper Roaring Fork where a lot of
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: our guys are doing the wade fishing, they really have
• 23:36
  Speaker 10: to know the water well because there's only so many
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: public spots where you can get in there and do
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: your thing.
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: You know, I've talked about this for a lot of
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: years and you've seen it happen because you've been here
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: a long time. There is less and less public access
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: to these rivers, isn't there?
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: Big time, you know, with all the developments, the golf
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: courses and everybody buying it up. And I don't know, it's,
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: it's kind of a bummer, but if for the trout,
• 24:01
  Speaker 10: it might be a little bit like trout refuge. They
• 24:03
  Speaker 10: don't just get hammered everywhere you go, you know, and
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: maybe in the, all the public spots, because that's the
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: only place you have to go.
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: They're going to be a little bit harder to catch
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: for sure. But I don't know. It's just different. It's
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: not that way in Montana.
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: It's not that way in Wyoming or Idaho.
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: And, I have two boats, so I go fishing.
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: Okay, so let's talk about for folks that want to
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: come down and fish with you, which is a little
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: shorter drive to Cocodrie from Texas in the wintertime.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: What months are we talking about? October to the end
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: of January.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: About the mid-October to end of January. And I keep
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: going as.
• 24:42
  Speaker 10: Long as I'm getting people that want to go and
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: we can figure out the weather because once the winter
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: hits in Louisiana.
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: It gets to be tough. We understand that. Yeah.
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: It's a long ways to go, and then you have
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: the cold front that comes through, and you have 40-mile-an-hour
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: winds and cloud cover, and it's just not going to
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: work for the fly fishing.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: So how do folks book you to do that? What's
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: the best way to do that? Just by email, which is.
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: Scklahn, K-L-A-H-N, at msn.com, and or just my phone number.
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: Which is 970-618-5725. So they can.
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: Call you direct and book a trip.
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: And they can always call Alaskan Fly Fishing because he
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: helps me out with that deal too and talks it
• 25:22
  Speaker 10: up when we try to get people to come down.
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: It was a terrific morning. I didn't know what to expect.
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: I have never fished the Roaring Fork.
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: I will be back. I appreciate it. It was a
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: great morning. Yeah, it was. It was great. We got
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: off to a great start. You got that one right
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: out of the gate. That was perfect. But what you
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: need to come is come in September or October even.
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: We're going to see if we can make that happen.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: We can fish this, but we can also fish the Colorado.
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: I know it looks real bad right now, but it's
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: the place to be.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: Come fall because there's some big fish down there.
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: Scott Klon, our guest from Aspen Fly Fishing here on

• 26:21
  Speaker 1: fishing down in the wintertime in Kokodri. A really good
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: guy to fish with, very knowledgeable. And they have gotten
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit of rain since we talked, but it's
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: all going to depend on, frankly, the winter and the snowpack.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: to restore some of these things with the, with the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: drought that was going on in New Mexico and in Colorado.

  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Clark Eisenhower outdoor edition. Caleb is
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: in tomorrow. I'll visit with Tony Catalina and Kirk Bowles tomorrow.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: And Monday, Writers' Roundtable. Next Tuesday, Bill O'Reilly on the show.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Was she in the right place at the right time?
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: It depends on how you look at it. A woman
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: enjoying the California coastline received an unexpected surprise when an
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: enormous shark appeared to launch itself, breach, from the ocean
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: behind her. The footage... shared by Surfline and credited to
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Instagram user Aaron King, shows a large, dark animal breaching
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: above the water before disappearing beneath the surface. Local reporter
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Chris Cerny said California State Parks confirmed the breach after
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: reviewing footage from a nearby camera. The animal species and
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: exact size have not been independently established, but the behavior
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: resembles that of a great white. And they call it Sharktober.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: According to Shark Stewards, the period between September and November
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: marks the peak season for encounters with adult great whites
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: along California's coastlines. After spending months offshore in an area
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: nicknamed the White Shark Cafe, which I've seen on Shark Week,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: mature great whites migrate thousands of miles back to the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: California coastline. They're following food. Attracted to rocky headlands, beaches,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: islands where seals and sea lions haul out. The predators
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: return to prime feeding grounds, including Monterey Bay, Point Reyes,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: The Farallon Islands, the migrations coincide with a seasonal increase
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: in shark-human encounters, particularly within the Northern California Red Triangle.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Pretty cool video. You can go and see the tape.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: You've seen breaches on Shark Week many times, especially when
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: they're dragging fake seals behind the boat. It's not uncommon.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: It is uncommon from the beach and to have a
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: camera happen to be rolling when that happens behind her.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: And by the way, it couldn't have been more than
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: 100 yards offshore, probably less. Just saying. Swim at your
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: own risk. They're so cute. A swimmer was fatally savaged
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: by a shark off the coast of South Africa despite
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: wearing magnetic repellent bands to ward off the sharks. Janine Lotrenberg,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: a retired medical physicist, was swimming with her local open
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: water club last week off Orient Beach, In Kugomo City,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: South Africa, when she was attacked, witnesses say Lauternberg was
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: bitten on her thigh and upper arm and bled out
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: in the water before fellow swimmers could pull her back
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: to shore. Members tell the outlet that she was wearing
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: a repellent band on her ankle meant to fend off
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: sharks by distorting their sense of electroception and Her sister
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Margo revealed she was holding her sister's head in her
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: final moments as she was rushed for shore. She told
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the outlet her sibling loved the water so much and
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: was aware of the elevated shark presence in the area.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Margo explained she'd made peace with that she had a
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: deep affinity with the water. The swimmer's partner, Barbara Bryslin,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: remembered her as brave and a good swimmer who swam
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: far offshore. Said Bryslin, she was highly intelligent, lots of fun, thoughtful, well-loved.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: The couple was reportedly looking forward to retiring, going on
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: a road trip. The tack was the first recorded one
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: in South Africa this year. When I see things like, well,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: she was highly intelligent, I'm going, okay. Why was she
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: swimming that far offshore when she knows there's great whites.
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: In the area?
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: In South Korea, a shark stuck in a city canal
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: has gained celebrity status. Since the first sighting of the
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: shark in Busan in mid-September, more than 1.6 million people,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: including South Korean President Lee Jang-mung, have been to see
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: the creature for themselves. They have named it Bukangi, after
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the Bukang Waterfront Park, where it is marooned. It is
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: a female dusky shark. That's become an internet sensation. Officials
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: in the southeastern port city have made the shark an
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: honorary ambassador after the unexpected boon to the local economy.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: A neighborhood watchdog group of volunteers has assembled to protect
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: it overnight. Okay. Shark fever mounts, but they're worried about
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Bukangi's future. Officials launched a third attempt to steer the
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: shark back to sea as the water grows colder. The species,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: which is listed as internationally endangered, is migratory, thrives in
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: temperate to tropical temperatures. By mid-November, city officials expect the
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: canal's temperature to drop around 11 degrees Celsius. I don't
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: know what that is, and I know I could come
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: up with it if I wanted to. I'm going to
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: say it's around somewhere around 50 degrees. When experts warn
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: that shark survival chances could become precarious. I don't know
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: what would happen if she's not out by then, says
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Kim Hoon Woo, senior researcher at the National Institute of
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Fishery Science. The shark is estimated to be roughly 20
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: years old. It's thought to become stuck in the Busan
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: port after it was disoriented by sounds and lights from
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: crews and cargo ships. Okay, if you say so, look
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: out for Bukangi. I'm sure you can find it online.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I have no doubt about that. Okay, we'll have more.

  Speaker 1: A fisherman in Idaho has set a catch and release
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: state record for brown trout that surprised the Idaho Department
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: of Game and Fish. Benjamin Smith, Thatcher, Idaho, made the
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: catch and release of a 31-inch brown trout from the
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Bear River. August 28, three months after the previous record
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: was set, the size of the fish, the short timeline
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: for the previous record to be broken, and the location
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: all surprising. The only thing more surprising than a brown
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: trout over 30 inches is how quickly the previous record fell,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: said the IDFG. Given how rare a fish of this
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: class is for Idaho, most anglers should have expected the
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: previous record to stand for quite a while. You know,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: that would suck to catch a 30-inch brown trout, have
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: it certified as a state record by a long shot,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: know that they don't come along very often at all,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: and then, you know, in a couple of months, yeah, sorry,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: somebody's caught a bigger one. Smith's catch surpassed the previous
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: record of 30.5 inches. by Caroline Langdale, who is fishing
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: with a guide on the South Fork Snake River in May.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: In the Bear River, said one commentator on Facebook, I
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: can see the main snake or the fork of the snake,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: but the Bear River? The Bear River in southeastern Idaho,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: actually best known for its native cutthroat trout, though it
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: is home to quality rainbow and brown trout.
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: Well, duh.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: They caught a 31-inch brown. I guess it is home.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Idaho, let me give you this. An Idaho
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: man fought a bear like a dude and lived to
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: tell about it after the bear broke into the family's home.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Salmon resident Brian Heidermann wrestled a juvenile black bear to
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: protect his family in a late-night attack that left him
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: with gashes on his arms, legs, and head. Brian and
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: wife Kim... Recalling the attack, which happened three weeks ago,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: the couple told East Idaho News that they were awakened
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: around 3.30 in the morning by their 14-year-old daughter who
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: came face-to-face with a bear trying to get into her
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: bedroom window. We woke up at 3.30 to our daughter
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: pounding on our door and screaming the bear was trying
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: to get in her bedroom, said Brian. By the time
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I got up and ran out the bedroom across the house,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: the bear had popped the back door open. My daughters
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: and wife were standing right there within 10 feet of
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: the bear. He told the outlet that the latch on
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: the house's back door had not been working, allowing the
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: bear to pull it open. He said in an adrenaline
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: rush to propel took the family Georgetown, the bear, and
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: fell with it into the yard, fighting for his life.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: He put his two front paws in, went to bring
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: his third leg in the house, and I just out
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: of instinct speared him and tackled him through the door,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: and we wrestled in the backyard. Brian, who had no
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: weapons at his disposal, fought with the bear in the yard.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: The bear bit him in the back of the head.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: left deep scratch wounds on his arms and body. The
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: family's pit bull mix Lulu ran outside and joined the brawl.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Our dog came out, kind of took the attention away
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: from me for a minute. Kim came running out because
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: the bear was going after her dog. See, this is classic.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: The husband is getting eaten to death, but not until
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: the dog gets involved does the wife come to the rescue.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: The bear turned and hooked onto Kim's back, and I
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: just started fighting that bear like it was a dude.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Like you do. The harrowing ordeal had Brian punching and
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: choking the bear, allowing Kim a chance to run back
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: inside the house. The dog also ran back outside, giving
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Brian a window of opportunity to escape in the house
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: and slam the door. Brian recalled he was in so
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: much pain after being bitten, he thought, I was dead
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: right there. He said goodbye to his wife and daughters
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: and told them he loved them. The bear had a
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: sow and another juvenile. A neighbor came to the home
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: and scared off the bears by firing shots.
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: Okay, look.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: The warning shots go into the Bears, okay? Brian survived,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: rushed to Steel Memorial Hospital, life flighted to Eastern Idaho
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, where he had surgery
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: for the injuries. Kim's injuries were minor enough that they
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: didn't require hospitalization. According to a news release from Idaho
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Fish and Game, the sow was found dead from a
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: gunshot wound from the neighbor. Okay, read ahead, Chip. So
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: it did work. The next morning, the juveniles were trapped
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: and euthanized. Hey, people, this is Idaho. It ain't California.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: It ain't Oregon. It ain't Washington. It's Idaho, where they
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: put bears to death. and understand that people are more important.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: The safety, listen to me, Fish and Game Regional Wildlife
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Manager Dennis Newman said, the safety of the area's residents
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: remain our top priority. What do you think the statement
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: from California would have said? Fish and Game would like
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: to express our condolences to the individual's attack. We wish
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: him a quick and complete recovery. God bless you, wildlife
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: manager Dennis Newman, who understands that the value of people's
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: lives aren't more important than a freaking bear. All he
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: needed to add was get them before they get you.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Our wildlife attack segment is brought to you by Schulte Roofing,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: home of the Bulletproof Roof Guaranteed.
• 48:52
  Speaker 12: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
• 48:54
  Speaker 12: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around, and then
• 48:57
  Speaker 12: I found Schulte Roofing, and boy, I'm glad I did.
• 48:59
  Speaker 12: The folks at Schulte guided me every step of the way.
• 49:02
  Speaker 12: They showed me my options. They told me what my
• 49:05
  Speaker 12: out-of-pocket cost would be after insurance. They took the complication
• 49:08
  Speaker 12: out of an otherwise very stressful situation. They took off
• 49:11
  Speaker 12: the damaged roof, put on the new roof, did all
• 49:13
  Speaker 12: the cleanup, and I had my new roof in one day.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Schulte Roofing, the home of.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: An elderly florida fisherman trying to flee a massive 12-foot
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: alligator slipped and fell right before the beast clamped onto
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: its leg and dragged him into the water Stephen Hamilton,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: a seasoned angler and Orlando musician, was posing for a
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: photo with a bass he had just caught. When the
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: gator came to him. Hamilton turned to run but lost
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: his footing on the shoreline, giving the gator the seconds
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: it needed to latch on to his left leg and
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: yank him off. under, said a witness. He slipped and fell.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: The gator grabbed him and dragged him into the water
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: and just snatched him in there. Look, people, what have
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: I told you about being close to bodies of water
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: in Florida? This is Osceola County. Hanley said that several
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: people tried to save Hamilton and by chucking traffic cones
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: at the alligator, but kept their distance because the lake is, quote,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: infested with alligators up to 15 feet. Hamilton's autopsy revealed
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: he suffered blunt force leg injuries as he was dragged
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: into the water. Two hours after the attack, his body
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: was recovered from the lake, which is home to more
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: than 4,600 alligators. First of all, I hope this is
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: a really, really big lake, okay? Second of all, if
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: there are 4,600 alligators, why are you standing on the
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: edge fishing? People say he was always fishing there. He
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: would show me the fish he had caught. I get it.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: There's big bass in Florida. But if alligators can't catch
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: the bass, they can catch the people fishing for them.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Hanley himself, a witness, had a close encounter with a
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: gator at the park two days before Hamilton was attacked.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: It was right by my foot, but I bonked it
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: on the head with a fishing net. Man, I'm telling you,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: the fishing must be good in this lake. I told
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: my girlfriend somebody's going to get ate by one.
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: Of these gators.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: This is Florida, after all. Guess what? Somebody got ate by.
• 52:18
  Speaker 7: One of those gators.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Said this before. Gators are a problem. They're a problem
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: in Texas. They're a problem in Louisiana. They're a problem
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: in Florida. They're a problem. Get them before they get you.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: A 16-month-old toddler was injured in a terrifying encounter with
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: a coyote in Los Angeles. Months, months after residents raised
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: alarms about an aggressive animal suspected of being fed by
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: a neighbor. Oh, good gosh. I'm just telling you, if
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: you've got people feeding coyotes, you need to get rid
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: of your neighbor. You need to calmly take their stuff
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: and move it out of their house and get the
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: neighbor out of the neighborhood. Officials did not disclose exactly
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: what happened, describing the incident only as one in which
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: a child was injured after, quote, an incident involving a coyote.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: This is California. They don't care about the child. They're
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: more concerned about the coyote because that child was trespassing
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: in coyote territory because it belongs to the coyotes. and
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: the mountain lions and the bobcats and the animals. If
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: you're in California, you're trespassing. The toddler was rushed to
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: a local hospital for treatment, later released. Wildlife officers located
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: a coyote in the vicinity and euthanized the animal. Wow,
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: I am shocked. I promise you, I promise you on
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: social media, There are people whining and crying and screaming
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: about this coyote that's been put down. But this being California,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: when they say it was euthanized, my guess is they
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: shot it with a dart, they took it to a hospital,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: and they euthanized it on an operating table. And everybody
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: had a good cry about it. The incident has reignited
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: concerns about coyotes roaming the neighborhood where residents previously reported
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: troubling encounters by an animal they called Wiley. Get it?
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Wiley coyote?
• 55:12
  Speaker 8: Roadrunner?
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: Never mind.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: In August, a coyote was spotted wandering through Atwater Village,
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: was seen chasing children. Some residents suspected someone in the
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: neighborhood had been feeding it. We've run into the coyote
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: several times a week. Every time we go walking, said
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Libby Stankaitis, telling CBS Los Angeles. The California Department of
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: Fish and Wildlife warned residents that feeding wildlife is illegal,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: urged them to secure their properties and remove anything that
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: could attract coyotes, like children. Now listen to me. This
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: is California, people. I think coyotes are doing great in
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: the urban area, and it's sad we're putting them down.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: Jacob Walker told the news station. What did I tell you?
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: They grow these kind of people on trees in California.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: Jacob is much more concerned. with the death of a
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: coyote than he is that a 16-month-old almost got eaten.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: He says they're doing great there in the city. He's
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: probably one of the ones feeding them. The department has
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: not released further details about the encounter or confirmed whether
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: the DNA testing will link the coyote to the toddler's injuries.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Oh my good gosh. If it does not link the
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: DNA to this toddler's injuries, they're going to ask that
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: entire family to move out of the state, which I
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: think they should anyway. Wildlife officials recommend residents maintain a
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: safe distance and slowly back away. What great advice. Because
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: if you use a gun, you'll be in jail. I
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: love this part. Adults should keep young children and pets close.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Make loud noises and wave their arms if a coyote approaches.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: That'll work. And officials advise fighting back. If a coyote
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: makes physical contest and calling animal control. Yeah, you'll have
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: time to do that if a coyote attacks you.
• 57:50
  Speaker 19: Unbelievable.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Seriously. Unbelievable. It's California, people. If you live there, that's
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: your problem. I want to tell you about my friend
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Bubba Dixon. Bubba is double dipping. He's selling cars and
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: trucks still with Tegler, Chevrolet, and Sealy. And he has
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: opened up a farmer's insurance branch right down the street
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: from us here on the bypass. And I'm telling you,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: he's already saved me half of my bill for my house.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: I think I was one of Bubba's first customers. And
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: he just sat down, looked at everything, and said, hey,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: this is what it costs for a year. I said,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: for a year? That's what I've been paying every six months.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying he can cut your bill in half.
