Speaker 1 (02:22):
In New Mexico.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
We're in New Mexico.

We are We're in New Mexico, Black Lake, New Mexico,
Black Lake, New Mexico. Yeah, and we've been we're here
bear hunting, bear hunting with hounds. We brought our mules
all the way from Arkansas and we've been here two days. Well,
we've hunted two and a half days and thunderstorms. Yeah,
we had some challenges. I hadn't got a barry yet,
got one day left. We just came out here for
(02:45):
a quick trip. But it's been incredible. Had some incredible mule.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Rides, amazing country, beautiful.

Count Yeah, it's just incredible country.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
But Marshall, tell me about what this is. Where are
we at?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Well, we're on John and Charlotte Kimberland's ranch up here
in Black Lake, New Mexico. And I run a ranch
that we have this country, and I run a ranch
down the road, and we're basically an l hunting operation,
milldeer hunting operation and eye line hunt quite a bit,
(03:24):
and we're trying to bear hunt.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
But yeah, just a really historical cool place.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Like on Lonesome Dove when they get up to Montana,
they come up over the hill with the herd of
cattle and there's the cabin on the beautiful lake and stuff.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
That's the cabin we're in.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
This is it right here?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
This is it?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So at what part in the movie do they make
it to Montana? Like, hell, it's been a while. Me
and bear this the other day, I didn't finish it.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
It's two thirds three quarters away through the movie probably.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And so in the movie, there.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
It's confusing because in the movie they're in Montana, but
actually it was shot in New Mexico and.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
This structure was built for that. Yeah, this was this
was a movie prop.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Right right, Yeah, and then the Kimberlands came in modeled it,
so you know, people could come stay here experience the
wrench kind of deal, and yeah, it's just an awesome place.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Tons of history. This is old, the old hat Creek.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Wrench that we're on, Okay, historically and it's just.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Just a cool What year was all the Lonesome Dove
stuff shot? Y'all know?
Speaker 3 (04:29):

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
I tell you gonna be something I didn't have any
I knew I wouldn't have an answer to it.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Lonesome Dove. Okay, So you know what Del Brisbane.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I was with Del Brisbee the other day and you're
from from Texas bull Rider, Yeah yeah, and he gave
me a hard time for not knowing a line from
Lonesome Dove. He was he was making fun of my
mule or something, and I just I want to dell
if he's ever been here.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I don't think he has.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
You know, he's welcome anytime. He's welcoming time.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
He don't don't invite Dann. He can't come here. He
only lives twenty minutes down the road. And it's never
invited me over there raising bucking horses, you know, in Texas,
not here in.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Texas, my place in Texas yet?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, but uh what year?
Speaker 7 (05:24):
So shot three?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Four?
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Five years before that? Probably?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yeah, so you were like what negative what You're born
in ninety seven? Crazy? Wow?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You were you?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You weren't even if you listen to the podcast this week,
you know that Clay has a fascination with knowing how old?
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Yeah I heard that.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you should ask your buddies that you
shouldn't ask your Yeah, Evan Felker didn't think.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So you don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
How old they are, how many cows they got, or
how many acres they're on.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Well now I know that about the cattle, but like age,
I don't have a problem, so.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
I don't how old am I?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Well already you already told me.
Speaker 8 (06:02):
Okay, but I'm afraid twenty nine, right, there's nineteen, there's
nineteen forty one.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Just a kid, just a pup.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Well, Marshall has uh so you. You run this huge ranch.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I mean this this is like, this is a big
ranch and you I want to talk to you about
several things.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Well, shoot, how should we do this? We got so
much good stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
To talk about.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
It's a lot that I kind of want to jump
in with him, but I'm afraid if we do, we'll
never come back. We'll never get out. If there's one
thing I've learned about Marshall, once, once you get in there.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
You're in there.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
You never come back out. Because he's so entertaining. He's
talking about the podcast first. Then we're going to talk
about the podcast first. You're gonna shil horses.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
I mean, why wouldn't you podcast about the podcast first?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
So we Uh No, I think it's fitting for us
to do the do the Evan Felker thing here because
you know, Evan lives in Oklahoma, got a cow ranch there.
He's he's raising and training some really good performance horses.
He's really trying to he's really trying to make some
good horses out there, and I think they are. There's
(07:21):
just something about a guy like Evan that is, uh,
you expect something different, But by different, I mean you
expect somebody to kind.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Of be aware of, you know, being well.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Known, having this great music, and Evan would just be
a guy that would just kind of I mean, he's
just a humble guy essentially, That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
He'd sit right in this room with us.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, humble guy and he uh and been through some
hard times and not afraid to talk about it. When
I first kind of reached out to him and I
went through actually Steve Ranella, and I said, do you
think Evan would talk to me about all that? And
he was like, yeah, yeah, he would, and he did.
But I wanted to just ask you guys, so Bear,
(08:10):
Justin and Josh all listen to it. Bear, what stood
out to you?
Speaker 9 (08:16):
Well, I mean, like you already said it, definitely you
could tell just by listening to him that he was
just a real humble, down to earth guy. I mean,
like he's had a lot of success in the country
music world. But I thought it was really cool that
he's still breaking horses and it's still like doing all
the same stuff that he would have always done, Like
(08:36):
he's not necessarily let it go to his head. But
I thought I thought that the podcast was really cool
because I listened to The Troubadors quite a bit, and
it was pretty interesting to see his protest of songwriting
just because it made sense, Like everything you were talking
about is kind of the reason that I feel like
(08:56):
a lot of people like The Troubadors, just because it's
like really personal, like he puts in like these little
details that are like like like a mid July white
tail and velvet, you know, like everyone can imagine that scene.
But yeah, I thought it was a really interesting podcast
and an interesting look behind the scenes, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I think it's it's appropriate that this comes out this
week because on social media there's been this big thing
with Charlie Crockett, who's a country music guy, kind of
an outsider, never really liked Nashville, and he took he
took a shot at what he called bro country this week.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I love it that I know this. Y'all should think
I'm very cool.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Because talking about that's the first bro.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
In on the country music drama.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Because Charlie Crockett made a post, it's like maybe specifically
calling out a couple of like bro country, which would
be like kind of the Nashville radio country music guys.
Maybe Yeah, I'm not even gonna say any names, and
it was just this like firestorm and and well it
(10:10):
was Adcock, a guy with the last name Adcockvin, Gavin Adcock.
The kids are listening to him, and uh and Gavitt
and Charlie Krockett and they got in this little internet
spat and Charlie Crockett sent Gavin Adcock a dozen roses
(10:32):
and uh and in the mail. And then Adcock gets
on with a dozen roses and says, hey, thanks, Charlie,
really appreciate the roses. Sorry that you had to go
get a smaller venue because you couldn't sell tickets and
we had it just it was like going back and forth.
But the whole point of all that is that a
(10:54):
guy like Kevin Helker is like he's just kind of unfazed.
It's just kind of a real deal. Like you would
never I don't think Evan's gonna let me down here.
You would never hear Evan Felker in that scenario. Like
he's just he's who he is. He kind of doesn't care.
And uh, but he is not broke country. No, it's
not broke country.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, and it's even it's even like his music is country,
but it's different. Yeah, you know, I think I think
you know, Bear was talking about there are people who
can describe things very eloquently, and that's that's one thing.
You know, you get people who write books and that
kind of thing. I don't know. Evan has a has
(11:37):
a way of describing something so well and putting a
picture in your mind with a sentence where you know
what I mean, just just all of a sudden and
and not just paint the picture but associate feelings to it.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
That's that's it's normal stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It's not like I'm trying to describe like something big.
It's like square Harry on the Meadow, second cuting of
the Year, Yep, It's like it's uh uh light enough
still at the foot of the hill. We could kick
up a single or two, you know, just like like
every song has got just like some something that kind
of paints.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
The picture for you. You like the Tributors, Oh yeah, Turnpike School. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I don't know if those other two names go make
it on my playlist, but there's a little turn.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, Barry, did you think it was funny when I
thought Evan Fucker's dad was dead and I was like
going around there, Yeah, what did it come across as funny?
Were you like, man, I got a cool dad. I mean,
I just I just thought it was funny.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah he was.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
He was just like, yeah, man, you know he's Yeah,
he did Little Cowboy in some day working. He welds
down there at Diverse City. I said, he's still alive. Like, yeah,
he's still alive.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Oh yeah, well that's funny. Josh Watch said, what what
you man?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I love a good redemption story, you know. I think
I think that the fact that he was able to
go through that, you know, it sounds like he was confronted,
got the help that he needed, but he wasn't defined
by that, and I think he's I think he's learned
(13:21):
how to live his life with that being in the past,
you know what I mean, and not carry it with him.
And you can tell, you know, you can tell the
things that are valuable to him now is you know,
his family, his his music is valuable. And I also
I was actually kind of impressed by the way that
he addressed the crowd during the during the live session. Yeah,
(13:46):
it was very personal, you know what I mean, And
you could you could see the gratitude that he had
for people who listen to his music, and I you know,
I've been to I've been to concerts and stuff where
where the guy singing couldn't care less about the people
in the audience, and he just seemed to have just
a real appreciation for liking his music, you know, And
I think that's I think that's a pretty cool thing.
(14:08):
I like people who who recognize that it's not just them,
you know. So anyways, I was I was really impacted
just about the story of him.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I liked what he said he said, you know, he's like,
he's like, well, you know, that's fine for some people,
but I can't do it, you know what I mean,
that's that's not you know, and you can tell but
with the resolve in his voice that they'll never touch
it again because he recognizes it destroyed his life and
he had it. Sounds like he had a window of
opportunity and he took that window of opportunity and all
(14:39):
those things that he had lost he got back. And
that that means something to me.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
M M, what about you? Justin let's sit out.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
I thought he was really good, just the fact that
he came from small town, Oklahoma, and I think that's
a lot of the reason he is the way he is.
He's just an old country boy that grew up like that.
He I don't think he set out to be what
he is as far as the fame goes. But but
he got that and he never he never drifted into
(15:10):
I'm too good to be here in Oklahoma anymore. I'm
still still this guy that wants to run a ranch,
ride horses. I think it keeps him humble. It's really
good to see him be able to confront and talk
about the situation that he had. It takes takes a lot,
especially when you've got a spotlight on you like that.
(15:32):
To be able to talk about that publicly, I think
it was great. I was a little bit disappointed how
he responded when you asked him about the alcohol, like
with his kids, and when he talks about how much
better his life is now that he's not a part
of it, he talks about how much more productive he is.
(15:54):
I mean, I just feel like he might have a
little more to say to his kids and to his friends.
But I understand too, uh the world that he's in. Yeah,
espersonal choice.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
We talked about it.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I might have been a little surprised at what he
said to just because I you know, he was an
alcoholic and it kind of wrecked his life, you know.
And I said, what would you how do you think
you'll talk to your kids about alcohol and stuff?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And I was, I was, it was.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
It was an interesting answer he had, because I think
I would have thought he would have been, like, I'm
going to tell my kids never to even.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Touch this thing.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
That's the thought I had, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And uh, yet I mean he has a I mean,
what you tell somebody and what you do with your
life is it's more important what you do.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
So his kids are going to watch him grow up
and not drink, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I mean, so even what he tells him, I mean
he's now, you know, I mean, he's going to be
living by example. But yeah, I was, I was kind
of I just wanted to see what he thought about it,
you know, because I grew up in a world that
was very, very conservative with alcohol. Just like, this stuff's dangerous,
man wreck your life. I mean to the point that
some of it was kind of fear mongering, and but
(17:08):
at the same time, it's I mean, the stuff's wrecked
a lot of people's lives, So you can't mess around
with it total.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Just happened to be. But I literally lost my best
friend last year that dealt with alcoholism and stuff, and.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Yeah, it's it's a dangerous drug man. Yeah, it's I've
just never been a big drinker, but you know, he did.
We were best friends for a long time, but just
it always come back to him, Yeah, always come back
for him.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, yeah, well it was. It was really interesting to
hear hear his songs and he sings about it too.
One of the funniest things I ever heard. That on
turn Practure Door social media when the song on the
Red River came out with this new album, right, one
of their songs went pretty high in the country chart
(17:59):
or something, and and Turned by True Doors posted a
screen clip of their text thread like on the band
and and somebody said, hey, on the Red Rivers showing
up on the country charts at whatever number. And Evan
Felker writes back, and he says, nothing says hot country
(18:20):
like obscure dog breeds and generational.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Alcoholists us show.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
That's funny because he you know, again going back to
the specificity inside a songwriting, and he talked about the
cattle dogs that he has and he has a bunch
of cattle dogs. I didn't really get a chance. I
talked to him a lot about his cattle dogs he's got.
He's got a yard full of bird dogs and cattle
dogs and he works those cattle dogs. Dogs are like quills, yeah,
(18:52):
quell dogs and shoot retrieving dogs like duck dogs. And
uh but he's got a uh, hanging tree cattle dogs
that many they worked. They had one Border Collie, but
one hanging tree dog, which was neat. You have you
ever heard of hang you know, hanging tree dogs.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, they were cool.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
But what's what's hanging tree dog?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
It's it's a breed of cattle dog. What does it
look like? I mean, to me, it looked like a cur.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
You know, I believe, and don't quote me on this.
I've had a few hanging tree dogs. I was never
that much fan of them because they didn't have enough
bite for me. But uh, I believe it's like a
border Collie.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I believe it's a border Collie, a healer and maybe
like some kelpie.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Or something in it.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, kelpie.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I want to say it's it's it's crossed up cow breeds.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Basically, a guy came up with and Uh, I've seen
some guys with some great ones.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Yeah for sure. Yeah, I just I never got into him.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
But you you've caught wild cattle and though that kind
of stuff, and I preferred I've always preferred cata hulas.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
And part of that.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Is, probably, like he said, just my demographic. I just
I've always loved leopard dogs, from hog dogs to blood
dogs to everything. I just I always had luck with catahulas.
I always got a lot more handle out of them
than like a black mouth curve. Black Mouth curves are
awesome dogs a lot of guys, but I found black
mouths to be like coyotes trying to catch him and
(20:27):
handle him and actually get a handle on them. I
always preferred catahulas because I could, I could move him around.
You know, I had a good handle on them.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Now, tell me about the situation where you'd be catching
wild cattle, like something like a big ranch. What does
cattle get loose and they hire you and your dogs
to come in there and catch them?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Yeah, I mean I did some contracts for like a
I did one for like a municipality that a guy
had a bunch of cattle on a place. He had
like seven seven thousand acres almost he sold the place.
Fences were trash, his cattle, just he left him there
for the owner. They'd gotten out, getting in corn fields,
getting in wheat fields, destroying crops.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
And the people had already paid that. I think they'd
find the guy like one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for crop damages for these cattle. So basically they came
in and we're like, hey, we're either hiring somebody to
remove these cattle and you get nothing, or you can
hire this guy and he's gonna catch him. He's gonna
haul them to market and he gets half.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So like that's the that's the deal with a guy
catching cattle as you get half the.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
YEA, if I'm gonna go clean a place off, and
don't get me wrong, there's a lot of guys go
do it for two hundred dollars a day and that's cool.
But if I'm gonna go on a clean up job
and I'm gonna have to bay cattle up, dart them,
lead them out, maybe winch them in the trailer, you know,
sometimes we have to go dartom in helicopter, that gunam
in helicopter. Like there's cost in that. So I can't
(21:50):
do it for two hundred dollars a day. So that's
if I go catch wild cattle, I do it on
the halves.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
I catch it if you have to hire me to
catch it or some guy by no means in my
top hand or nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
But if you got a hat those super puncher.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
I'm not a super puncher man. I ain't got the
big buckle or nothing else.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
But you had a pretty big buckle. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Uh, but no that you know that that's kind of
the rule of thumb.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Like if it's so bad that you just want it gone,
it shouldn't be a problem to pay me half, you know.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
I mean just the drugs. Dark cattle are expensive, the
darts are expensive, the man powers exposed.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah, and it's super dangerous and you gotta be highly skilled.
I mean to me, that's what comes.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Top Well, and think you've seen the horses we ride.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Yeah, like we show up with some horsepower, you know,
and go out there and do the deal we gotta do.
And I mean a mediocre horses is ten thousand dollars
now in the in the in the ranching in rodeo
world for a good, a good like solid ranch horse.
You know that you can go do that stuff on
and not run into problems. But and you look at
(22:56):
guys like Derek mcgay and stuff that are going out
there and catching wild cattle on reservation land and public
land and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
I mean, that's one hundred percent pay right there. I
get to keep them like, that's a sweet trip.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Well, you know, okay, so we started in on wild
cattle with you. But if you met somebody in the
store and they said, young man, what do.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You do for a living? What would you tell them?
Speaker 5 (23:18):
I tell him I'm a massive jack of all trades
and a master of dun But what what?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
What describe your career path that got you to where
you're at?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Just like quickly? I mean you don't.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
I mean I've rodeoed my whole life roped. I fought
bulls for a long time. Uh. The three things I'm
most passionate about is hounds, picking up brons, and bucking horses.
And uh, I mean, I don't know what the third
one would be. Maybe I should have said my top two. Well,
helicopters would be my third one. I love helicopter capture work.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
What are those streets hold on? What were the three.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Hound, probably hounds, horses, helic copters.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Hound.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
That sounds like what like my buddy's like three year
old son is really pumped about.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, hounds, horses, and helicopter.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
That's going to be the name of his memoirs.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Now, that's that's super interesting. Tell me how now, what
are you doing with helicopters?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Well, the helicopter deal started.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
You know, I've been gutting all kinds of whitetail hunts,
turkey hunts, bird hunts, duck hunts. I had a bow
fishing guide business for a long time with their boats,
and uh I was literally on a on a ranch
one day catching cattle and that helicopter pilot said, hey, man,
like you you think you you know, you think you'd
want to catch deer with us, And I instantly I'm
(24:45):
all in, you know, let's do it. And uh So
I went on a few catch jobs with a with
a capture team and man, it's been a pretty cool experience.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
So big horn, sheep, mule deer, whitetail deer.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Who are you working for when you're doing that?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
You know? I worked kind of for like three or
four different companies.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Uh, there's Bob McCoy. He's down in Santa Fe, Texas, and.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
These are these are companies that are like wildlife well
like so like specialize in capturing and release.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
So Bob's like lots of helicopters.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
He flies guys from his own airport offshore to the
offshore drilling rigs and he halts those guys back and forth.
And uh, he's got some like MT. Five hundred helicopters
and stuff that are you know what, what you use
for capture work. So he gets government capture contracts.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
So okay, that's it. That's what I'm looking for. Government
capture contract Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Like you know, we uh we went and call her
a bunch of big horn sheep in Washington State and
uh and just all along the Columbia River.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
There and you were you told he told me he
was he was mugging big horn sheep. Oh yeah, tell
us what that means.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
So basically we would fly around, we'd find big horn
sheep that fit the profile with the biologists wanted us
to call, and then we kind of push those sheep
away to an area where it's just safe for us
to get out because obviously it's a rough, rough terrain
and we'd single that sheep out, shoot it with a
net gun, get a net over it, just to kind
of slow it down and get as close as we can.
(26:16):
Hop out, tie it, take the net off, put the
collar on.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
We'd get a hair mug, and it means you're just
just get on there. Yeah, you just man this big
orn show.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Yeah, and get you a blood sample, hair sample.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
You measure some different glands and some different measurements, and.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Then we swab them for pneumonia. And basically the callers
have a big number on them. So if we go
back and say pneumonia is really affecting you know that
that specific herd of sheep, then they'll come back in
there and cull those sheep that come back positive for
that pnemonia. So basically, grab it, tie it, take the
net off, do your whole work up on it, let
(26:56):
it back up.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I mean, how many how many times have you done
work like that?
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I want to say that job we call it, I
think we call Heed one hundred and fifty big horn
up there, something like that, and uh, it was one
hundred and something. Mule deer also on that project. We
were up there for about a month. We had a
lot of bad weather days.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Usually it's just boom boom boom, fifty headed day or more.
I mean catching white tail and stuff and exotics in Texas,
you know. I mean that we have one hundred animal days,
you know, and there's guys that do more than that.
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
So helicopter work, yeah, you don't fly helicopters.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Now you've you've with wildlife and now but you specialize
in wildlife.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, you are a wildlife.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Manager that has managed a bunch of different ranches, yes, sir,
And that's how why you're managing this ranch out here.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yes sir, Yes, sir, this is this is too confusing.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
This is gonna have to be a three part past
year on Marshall because we hadn't even got into the
Yellowstone thing.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeh, we got We've got a lot of ground to cover, folks.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Uh okay, but you you did uh wildlife management for
a bunch of ranches.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir. I'd come in.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Some ranches would just have me come in and something
as simple as predator trap or call some stuff that
they needed to get rid of or capture it and
sell it to another ranch or whatever. I'd buy those animals,
mark them up sell them, just like any product, you know.
And uh so I did a lot of that, so
all in Texas, Yeah, all in Texas, and some stuff
(28:37):
in Oklahoma too, and uh you know that they'd call
me in sometimes I'd just go to a high fence
ranch that was things just weren't working for them. They
didn't have the right management in place, didn't have the
animals that they needed to have in that business. There's
a lot of ranch managers where ranches have these assets,
these animals, and for some crazy reason, these animals seem
(29:00):
to leave the ranch in coolers, but the ranch doesn't
get paid for it, which really cuts into profits. So
you get a lot of guys that their business is
just not being run properly. And I could come in
there and figure out what the problem was, figure out
why they're not making money, kind of get them going
in the right direction, find them, you know, a little
bit of clientele, find them the right guy to guide
(29:21):
and and then just kind of step away from it
and sell them animals.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
You know, Texas is a wild place.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Texas is a wild place, okay, So, but a lot
of your career has revolved around wildlife management, Yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
So you did outfit you did.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You've done a lot of outfitting, yes, sir, but you've
also done like held contract helicopter work, you know which,
and then managing these ranches, which is what you're doing today.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
That's the reason we know you.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Yes, sir and uh. And this is hands down the
best job yet.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I mean, it's managing this place.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
The kim Brose, the family that I worked for, Tim
and Kim easy to remember, but it's it's t k
landing cattle and they're just the nicest people in the world.
And just their dream of what's going on here is
like every outdoorsman's dream.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
So it's just it's so cool to work for somebody
that's like got the same goals in mind. Is like,
you can't. There's no goal you can come up with
different than theirs that you're gonna like better. Like it's
just kind of the perfect plan. You know.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
We're starting a horse program, starting a cattle program. It's
all coming from scratch. This will be the first full
elk season here for us. It'll be first mill deer
season here for us. We might be the first people
running hounds on this place in a decade, you know, And.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
It's just you're not guiding us out here. We we
just came, we brought some dogs. We've been just hunting
with you.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Yeah. No, this is just friends having a good time.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
And that's what they're about, you know, Like we're not
a big commercial hunting operation. You're not going to see
us trying to sell hunts all the time anything like that.
Like it's a friend's family business kind of deal. And
you know, y'all are friends now you come hunt, you know,
it's just kind of how it goes. Yeah, yeah, and
uh so it's really cool for like always in the
(31:18):
hunting industry, for me, it was wake up every morning
and hustle, hustle, hustle, just to make sure you had
a trip that week, right, Like there was there was
weeks bowfishing where you blow the motor in the airboat
and it's like you'll almost go stand on the corner
with a cardboard sign trying to sell some bowfishing trips
to get that.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Would you tell me you you you had one hundred
and fifty six days you got it?
Speaker 5 (31:40):
I did. I had a one year. I did one
hundred and fifty six bow fishing trips in a year.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, which is.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
Now, which is a lot.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
There's so many different different things. Just been here with
you for a couple of days that I've learned about
you tell us about working on the set of Yellowstone.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Uh, Yellowstone was super cool, Like like what did you do?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
What did you do?
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I just kind of had like a wildlife position with
them where it was cool. I'd get to go scout
ranches and find like places for scenes for them working
for locations. This got Dustin Daniels and will Anks. They
were super cool, and so I did a lot of
like ranch scouting for them. And they'd be like, Hey,
we need a river crossing that's this deep, this wide,
(32:22):
we need thirty horses to be able to cross it.
We need a sandbank on the other side to slide down.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
And I would go look on these ranches and be
like what about this spot? You know? Yeah, And it
was just really cool.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
Man.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Before they'd ride horses through pastors or gather cattle, I'd
go out their horseback and make sure there was no
like hazards or snakes. You know, a big part of
what I did there was snake wrangling. Man's crazy. We
caught a lot of rattlesnakes, a lot of copperheads.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
So when you caught a rattlesnake, yep, it had to
be by the book of the book.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
We would catch the rattlesnake, we'd put the rattlesnake in
a good safe that met their requirements, and then we
would film and stuff, and then we would take that
snake and put it exactly back where we found it.
One thing I will say about that whole production, The
movie business is not for me. I won't be doing
it again. Way too many people for me. But I
(33:18):
was blown away by how respectful they were to the
land and to animals, real stuff. Yeah, they really were, man,
I mean, and I mean some of the stuff I
did was stupid.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
You know, Hey, we're gonna use this old building, but
there's a skunk that lives there. We need to trap
that skunk. You know, we're put it right back. Yeah,
it's never been in my rollerdex to go ahead at
least the skunk, you know what I mean. I gotta
do what.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
So like you know, and nuisance trapping and stuff, it's
like you just eliminate it, you know. But I was
blown away by how much care they actually had on
that stuff, like, and it was a cool group of people.
It really was a cool The coolest thing about it,
I want to say. The crew was three hundred people
plus every day, like it was insane, and every person
(34:04):
knew your name. It seemed like every person come over there,
have coffee with you. I mean even Tim McGraw, Sam Elliott,
faith Hill. I mean they just all just hey, how's
your morning going. You know, just the kindest people in
the world. And I never saw an argument Yellowstone eighteen
(34:24):
eighty three, Bass Reeves, Like, I never saw.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
It fall apart.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
That's interesting.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
It was pretty impressive to see that many people from
that many different walks of life and that many different
There was everything you could imagine works there, buddy, Yeah,
and it was just never a big nothing was ever.
There was just no big confrontations, no big nothing like.
It was pretty incredible. Just how grease that wheel was.
I mean it really went well. So yeah, it was cool.
(34:54):
I did it for a while and I just got
burned out. It was seven days a week, fourteen fifteen,
sixteen hours a day, lots of time just sitting in
the truck, waiting on the next thing, waiting on the
next thing, and my add just.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
Runs rampant sitting in the pickup. Man, you tell me
you're gonna pay me to catch snakes, I'm gonna go
catch some steaks, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I just hated sitting in the truck so much, and
I hated just waiting. The waiting game just killed me
on it.
Speaker 7 (35:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
But man, what a unique experience though, And y'all have
any y'all have. I mean, I'm kind of just like
we're just like hitting the hits with marshall right.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
The worst part is you don't have time for your friends.
You don't have time for your hounds. You don't have
time for your horses, you don't have time for your
change the oil in your truck.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Like it just consumes your whole life. And my cow.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Business got rougher. My dogs weren't as good. And that
was a big part of it for me, was just
it took all your time.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Man, I think that that that is very a very
niche job. You know, there are a whole lot of
guys that have a job like that. I had a
question about, uh oh, how did you get that job?
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Just a random phone call. I thought somebody was messing
with me.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Some people called me asking me if I could catch
a rattlesnake and Weatherford and I was like, like I
do like helicopter capture and stuff, not really snake stuff.
And then a few days later, my buddy Brandon Beard
Didn't call me, that works for Taylor Shared and he's like, hey, man,
like we need somebody out here to look for snakes,
like for real, Like you should call this guy back.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
And I called him and next day I was there.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
And it kind of turned into this.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Yeah, it turned into like helping local house.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
I mean, you did it for like six months or something.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
No, I did it over a year, over a year,
about a year and a half, probably maybe a little
longer than that.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
It was. We did a few I did a few
episodes of Yellowstone. I wasn't like up in Montana and
all that.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
I just did Texas stuff, but spent a lot of
time on the Four Sixes, which was really cool.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
I met some cool people out there.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Joe Leathers caught me picking up chad antlers out there
one day.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
He just gave me a dirty look. Though I was
lucky get away with it. But I think I got
like three antlers off the four Sixes, which was a
good find.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
But uh yeah, So I got to spend some time
at the Sixes and stuff and that was cool.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
And then his place there in Weatherford.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
I've been around it quite a bit before too, and
you know, he did major things out there and it
was cool. And I guess if I did it again,
I would go work for Locations. I think Locations has
the coolest job.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
What's that mean?
Speaker 4 (37:38):
So like Locations is like the guy that goes out
and is it like, hey, we love your place in Arkansas.
We'd like to use your place in Arkansas for this
scene where this.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
Gunfight and this and that and whatever. And it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
They'll come in there and move everything you own out
of that house, film there for twenty four hours straight
and move everything you own back in that house the
same spot.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
You never even touch a cup. It's the craziest thing
you've ever seen in your life.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
And but those guys they go out find the ranches,
find the locations, like it's just a cool it's scouting.
It's like what we like to do, you know, you
just go scout country. And that's just they had a
pretty cool gig. They had a pretty cool gig, but
they also had a ton of headaches, which is why
I'm not going to be doing locations in the movie world.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Wow, man, that's wild, man, that is wild justin bear
any any any thoughts, questions?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
What okay, there's just like I've got.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Two other things at least that i want to talk
to Marshall about. But y'all, you've been around him for
a couple of days here, anything anything you want to
ask them about or just what people what.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Would would what would be interesting?
Speaker 9 (38:51):
I'm trying to think because it seems like the whole
time we've been here just there's like never ending.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
The stories never stop with Marshalls. Hey, lot happens when
you're trying to get in if.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Some dove cop cabin, we would name this episode the
Stories Never Stopped Marshall bry But since run Lonesome Dove Cabin.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
We guys, if you don't have.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
A bunch of stories, you're not having enough fun. Man,
I've worked hard. My whole life did not have to
work hard, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Well, Uh, Marshall, I had a question about about your
job here. What kind of what kind of things are
you doing to like tell me about what kind of
wildlife you have here? On the ranch. Yeah, and what
you're doing to to to manage them.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Yeah, We've just we've got a really really healthy l herd.
We got a ton of mule deer. Uh generally we
have a lot of bears, so we try to kill one.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
It's just we've got a ton of wildlife.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
And kind of my everyday deal is, uh start in
the morning, and I just kind of the place is
so big, you just kind of have to pick an
area and say, hey, I'm going to concentrate my next
four days on this area. I'm gonna get all our
stands and stuff, right, I'm gonna trim trees on that
section of a road. I'm gonna bring an excavator down
(40:07):
here and get these big rocks out of the road.
I'm gonna build a new road from point A to
point B.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
You know.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
That's another great thing about this job. As the boss
man comes out and he's like, man, I sure would
like a road to up there, and it's it's so
cool because you're like, heck, yeah, go walk me out
of road. I'm gonna go build a road up there,
just like I want to build a road up there,
you know. And then to see him show up and
use that road, and they're like, oh man, this's worked.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
That's exact road I wanted, you know.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
And that's just that's super rewarding to me that I
don't have to answer to one hundred people. I don't
have a bunch of micro management. It's just like, hey man,
i'd like this, I'd like this, I'd like this, and
you just kind of go make it happen. He understands
the place is big. He understands you can't just take
a piece of equipment. I mean, the highway washed away today,
like we might not even be able to make it
(40:57):
into part of the wrench, you know.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
So he I think that's why we hadn't killed a bear.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
The logistics are tough, like, but I just I pick
an area. I build roads, a trim trees, you know,
just all of it. Everyday ranch stuff, you know. Just
it's I guess I have manager on my title, but
I'm just a ranch hand. I guess you'd say that
manages wildlife, you know, and God, you know, God, friends
(41:23):
and family and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
I mean in the in the elk cutting in this
part of New Mexico is about as good as it gets.
Speaker 5 (41:31):
It's it's ignorant. I mean it's yeah, pretty man.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
I'm super pumped for my first full elk season up.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Here for sure.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Incredible man.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Now, but really, what you're maybe most passionate about in terms.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Of hunting is lying hunting one thousand. That's it.
Speaker 7 (41:49):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Yeah, so you have.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
If I could not do anything else the rest of
my life, I'd get up every morning in light hunt,
no doubt.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
And so you've got you got a bunch of how
many dogs you got right now?
Speaker 5 (42:02):
I got about ten dogs right now?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (42:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (42:06):
And and do you have a line dog right now?
Speaker 2 (42:09):
That's is I mean, do you have one that all
that that that one is the best dog I've ever had?
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Do you have mediocre dog?
Speaker 5 (42:16):
I got?
Speaker 4 (42:16):
I got two of the best dogs I've ever had
right now, My red and white dog Dan that y'all
saw the bob tail, you know, not the short bobtail,
but the medium bob tail. He came from a buddy
up in Montana. And he is just a jam up
line dog. I mean, he he'll grind it out, He'll
take his time. Uh, you know, he's just he's patient.
(42:38):
He's young, which is just it's cool to have a
four year old dog that's just on top of his game.
You know, probably my second best dog is that timber dog,
which is the red dog.
Speaker 5 (42:49):
Oh, Clifford, the bigger red dog.
Speaker 4 (42:51):
Yeah, he's got a bad knee here and there and uh,
but he's four.
Speaker 5 (42:55):
And he's a phenomenal dog.
Speaker 4 (42:57):
Also, I may have only got the dog because of
that bad You know that I look back at it
because that definitely wasn't spoke of first, but phenomenal dog.
Speaker 5 (43:07):
I wouldn't sell him for the world. You know.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
That brings up an interesting question selling line dogs.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Give me a spectrum for how much a good I mean,
or a great dry ground line dog would go for
right now in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (43:25):
It's honestly depending on the dog. I mean, you can
almost name your price.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
I mean these people horses, hounds and mules sell and
stuff like it's gone crazy.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
I mean, And so what's name and your price?
Speaker 7 (43:38):
Man?
Speaker 5 (43:39):
I mean, there's you hear.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
Rumors guys paying over one hundred thousand dollars for just
top notch.
Speaker 5 (43:44):
Dry ground line dogs.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
You kidding me? One hundred thousands.
Speaker 4 (43:47):
I'm talking about You don't have to do anything but
open the dog box and stay out of his way,
go down there and get him off the tree.
Speaker 5 (43:55):
Like dogs like that. I mean, if you find a
dog like that for lesson twenty thirty thousand dollars, you're
doing the deal.
Speaker 4 (44:03):
Like so if somebody gave me a if somebody, if
I priced a dog like that and somebody gave me,
you know, hey, man, I'm asking forty thousand for him, like,
I would not be blown away.
Speaker 5 (44:15):
I'm not saying I would go spend that.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
I'll give you twenty five thousand dollars right now for
your best dog.
Speaker 5 (44:20):
Done.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
No, No, I was kidding. That sounds good to be.
Speaker 5 (44:28):
I wouldn't really sell him, but I just want to
see if you're bluffing a bluffing. But now I know
how to play cards later.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Yeah, yeah, well, I mean my question though, was would
you sell your dog for twenty five thousand or is
he worth it?
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Maybe he's not worth it, Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 5 (44:44):
He's worth it to me. Yeah, I guess it's the
best way to say that.
Speaker 4 (44:48):
My thing is, I could sell that dog for twenty
five thousand, but I'd have a hard time replacing him
for that. Yeah, you know, that's my biggest deal. I
don't have a half million dollar budget to go blow
online dogs. You know, I got two really nice dogs.
I got one that I just plumb lucked out on
that made a dog, And then I got some really
nice young dogs coming up. And to me, I like
(45:09):
watching a young dog progress so much that I would
almost sell my top dog every year if I didn't
have to breed my Like, that's my thing. Like, I
want to be in a position where I don't ever
have to buy a dog again.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
You know.
Speaker 5 (45:24):
What I always had.
Speaker 4 (45:25):
You know, it's like I had line dogs, sold them all,
took a different job, bought line dogs again, sold them,
got a different job keeping. Yeah, so like I wasn't
able to keep my line going really on line dogs,
Like I kind of started over like three times. And
these are hands down some of the better ones I've
(45:45):
had by far, especially Dan. But yeah, it's just you know,
if a guy's got a bunch of money, he can
have a wicked settle line.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
Think about the thing about a line dog that's different
than the beard dog, and tell me just if it's right.
And you two Marshalls, you can you need about to
come out here and to be successful, you probably need
ten to fifteen dogs to be to be a good
to catch a sufficient bear hunter.
Speaker 8 (46:15):
At least at least because twenty dogs, because well, just
hold on, let me, let me, let me just say
what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
To be a to come out here and to be
a successful line hunter, just assuming that, you know, I mean,
I'm not calculating the skill of the hunter and knowing
where to go and being here when it snows. But
in theory, you could come out here with three or
four really good line dogs and catch a line sure enough,
(46:45):
catch lines consistently, especially in wet ground, with three or
four dogs.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
And so we're going to answer that.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
But the point is that's that's why a line dog
is worth so much, Because you go by one man,
you pretty much got pack, I mean, one real good
wood and with some backup dogs.
Speaker 7 (47:03):
If you take one good one and you got three
that'll go with him and just push him, you're good. Yeah,
the bear deal you gotta have. You need to be
putting eight on the ground a lot of dog power,
and then you got to do it again tomorrow and
then eight or ten years to day they're smoked. Yeah,
that's kind of what we've run into.
Speaker 4 (47:21):
Yeah, when I and the pads of their feet, their knees,
their hips.
Speaker 5 (47:25):
I mean, it takes it out of them up here.
Speaker 4 (47:27):
A lot of people do not think that terrain is
like this in New Mexico, and it's like both of
y'all today. It was funny I told you riding around
with you all at two different times, he said, if
somebody just dropped me off in a helicopter here blindfolded,
I would think it was Montana. Yeah, And it was
funny because thirty minutes later, I ride with your dad
and he's like, you know what, it's just like the Rockies,
(47:49):
and it's it's so it's so true, like when you're
up here and it's like beautiful hayfields and a lake
and ducks and geese everywhere, and then you go one
hundred your more yards and it's like, all right, we're
in the foothills.
Speaker 5 (48:03):
There's mill deer. This is cool. And then you go
over that hill and you're like, wow, big mountains.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
That's well, what's our elevation right here? Eighty four hundred feet?
Speaker 5 (48:14):
Oh yeah, we're a little over eight thousand just right here.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
So I mean you're starting and it feels like we're
at the bottom of the futa. We're in the valley,
we're eighty four hundred feet. Yeah, Josh, here's your answer.
Here's your answer. The answer you've been waiting for is
that when you turn, when you turn loose the line dog,
you're turning him on a track that that line has
made maybe the day before, maybe the day before that.
(48:37):
And he's most of the work that that dog is doing.
He's trailing that line while that line was hunting and moving,
and that line didn't even know it's being tracked. And
that dog's got to catch up with that line, which
could be miles of trailing. And then when the cat
actually perceives that he's being chased by a hound, he
(48:58):
doesn't really run that far.
Speaker 4 (49:00):
Once you got him jumped, you're once once that your
success mountain's laying on a.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
Mule deer killed over here with a full belly. And
he doesn't know it, but for the last six hours
there's been dogs six miles away that have been trailing
him through the mountains where he walked last night. When
he hears that dog bay, he jumps up and he
runs about three hundred yards and those dogs start catching up,
catching up to him, and he goes up a tree.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
A bear is.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
You might cold trail a bear for a long time
before he knows he's being chased. But as soon as
he's jumped, as soon as that bear goes, oh there's
dogs starts, he turns on the after burners. And he's
got more horsepower than your dogs usually and and and
your dogs have already cold trailed him, and then they've
(49:49):
got to catch him and pressure him enough to go
up a tree, and a lot of I mean, sometimes
the bear want him go up a tree. That's what
we ran into on the first say, just a walking bear,
a bear that had no problem with the dogs, just
kind of yapping at it.
Speaker 5 (50:02):
Right, I had a problem with it. Covered a lot
of country to just watch him walk around.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
How far do you think you rode?
Speaker 4 (50:11):
I think when you looked at my track or what
was it like twenty it was like twenty three miles
or twenty seven miles or something. So and we'd already
traveled what eleven miles as a group, least horseback, you know,
And then we kind of had a split deal going on,
and my good two best dogs went after the walking
bear over there, so I had no choice to go.
(50:31):
But you know, I went and went and went, called
a neighbor, went through their place, went and went, went,
called a neighbor, went through their place, went went, went
back of a neighborhood, walking down the public road. You know,
my horse tied to a gate four miles back. I mean,
it's just when a bear goes, a bear goes. Yeah,
and it's just.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
That's why you need a bunch of bear dogs.
Speaker 2 (50:52):
And not to say I mean a really top notche
bear dog would be expensive too, but I think a
line dog would be more.
Speaker 4 (50:59):
What does a truck to tree? No questions asked bear
dog go for?
Speaker 7 (51:08):
It's a good question.
Speaker 6 (51:09):
One, yeah, weeah no idea, Yeah, general sell bear dogs
as a pack or do you buy individual dogs?
Speaker 5 (51:17):
Generally?
Speaker 7 (51:19):
I think it would be I think I would be lying,
but from what I know or what I've seen, it
would be as a pack like them guys on the
East Coast. And I'm sure there's gonna be some that's like, No,
we would sell one dog, you know, but I think
it's selled by the pack and it's not anything like
the price of these line dogs, right, I mean you
can I think you can go find a gem up
(51:40):
bear dog for eight ten thousand. Yeah, I mean turn
them out, look at him at the tree.
Speaker 4 (51:47):
So really, for as many dogs as you got to have,
really a set of line dogs and a set of
bear dogs kind of evens out.
Speaker 5 (51:53):
You're just less dogs, more money.
Speaker 2 (51:55):
Yeah, and just the truth of it is, bear hunting
is more dangerous for the dogs.
Speaker 5 (52:01):
Oh bad. So that's why we had and went the
extra seventeen miles. Check on her dog.
Speaker 2 (52:06):
It's pretty pretty rare for a hound to get killed
while you're running a line.
Speaker 4 (52:12):
I've only lost one ever, and we got on a
cliff and went over the rocks.
Speaker 5 (52:17):
Never I've never had it like a lion killed a dog.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
Yeah, yeah, man, all that is just so it's fascinating.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
Bear. Tell us about your mule.
Speaker 9 (52:37):
Well, I've been training slow Trap for the last two months,
started riding them within the last month. And before I
even got on them, I think like a month ago
you asked me if you want to take them to
New Mexico in one month.
Speaker 5 (52:55):
I was impressed by the thirty day mule man. I
was blown away.
Speaker 9 (53:00):
Yeah, So I started working on him pretty hard and
got him riding. It's like the last two weeks I've
been doing quite a bit of trail riding with him,
but we took him out here and just rode him
around with all the other mules and horses.
Speaker 1 (53:13):
Oh, they on a wild ride that first day. I
mean that's kind of what I was.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
So you went further than us because you went after
your dogs, but we easily went fifteen miles in rough country.
Speaker 1 (53:24):
Oh yeah, yeah, it was. It was the rougher stuff.
Was righting on our heels the whole time. And it
was also the fastest stuff I've done with him.
Speaker 9 (53:31):
Like I've gotten him to trot, you know, just down
like a straight stretch, but we were trotting a lot
more than you know, like with this style of hunting.
Speaker 1 (53:39):
We were going a lot faster.
Speaker 9 (53:42):
So he was trotting and got yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (53:48):
But he saw the truck and trail yeah, headed home.
Speaker 9 (53:50):
Yeah, he was getting tired there on the first day,
the last couple of miles, and whenever we came down
in the valley and you could see the truck on
the other side and he saw the other mules running,
I just had to give him the slightest cue and
he just took off all the way across the well.
Speaker 1 (54:04):
It was for us.
Speaker 2 (54:05):
There's a lot of fun bringing that meal out here
and just fun for me to see Bear. I mean
he was riding that thing in a thirty foot diameter
round pen, you know, like.
Speaker 1 (54:16):
Three weeks ago, I mean for real.
Speaker 2 (54:18):
Yeah, and uh, I mean just in the last month
he's taken it out by itself on solo trips and
kind of national forest in Arkansas. Yeah, and uh yeah,
but I also didn't really have any doubt that it
would do good.
Speaker 1 (54:31):
I mean, the mule's done so good and Bear's Yeah.
Speaker 2 (54:34):
Bear got some help from a friend of Justin and
I is a guy named Elvis Middleton, who those are
mountain mules.
Speaker 1 (54:40):
Elvis, those are just Ozark mountains.
Speaker 7 (54:43):
Those are mountain mules.
Speaker 1 (54:45):
Got you, got you Ozark mountain miles. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (54:48):
He's a phenomenal trainer at getting them started. And uh
we went over there for about really a full day
with Elvis.
Speaker 9 (54:57):
Yeah, before and I've been restored messaging him quite a bit.
But yeah, he's shown me a lot of the groundwork
and just kind of how to go about it. But
it's been a really interesting process training a mule. I
was I was kind of just wanting to do it
at first, just for the experience, but now that I've
gotten into it, you know, I had like one from
(55:18):
like start to now using I'm i'm i'm.
Speaker 1 (55:23):
I think I'm hooked. I think I'm going to get
another one. Yeah. Yeah, we're working on one right now.
Speaker 7 (55:29):
Yeah. Yep.
Speaker 2 (55:31):
So and then Josh, you did great too, man. So
Josh is Josh is about as good a meal, about
as new a mule rider as slow trap.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (55:41):
I mean, Josh, Josh is like a thirty day many Yeah.
So yeah, but you you put on some miles we
probably rode.
Speaker 1 (55:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (55:52):
We rode eight miles today, didn't we ten?
Speaker 1 (55:55):
We rode ten miles that he tracked us today?
Speaker 5 (55:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (55:58):
Yeah, And that mule did good. It's a big boy
to carry around.
Speaker 3 (56:01):
To carry around them.
Speaker 1 (56:02):
That's Justin's That's a whole lot of country.
Speaker 5 (56:05):
On top of a mule right there.
Speaker 3 (56:06):
I want to know, Marshall, what are your feelings about mules.
Speaker 5 (56:10):
I knew y'all, I knew y'all were going to do this.
They're cool. Mules are cool. I will say that one
thousand percent, one thousand percent.
Speaker 4 (56:20):
I think they definitely have their place. Like I get it.
I do get it.
Speaker 5 (56:25):
Today I rode Betty Bay up our big old boulder,
you know, and like that's cool. I would no question
jump my horse, any of my horses up on that rock.
Speaker 1 (56:36):
But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (56:37):
That turning around and coming back off of it would
have been near as graceful as they were on that mule.
Speaker 4 (56:42):
So like, I do have a huge respect for mules.
And I told you I had a huge respect for
mules before, just from seeing the things that people do
on them. It's just it's you're a cowboy, basically.
Speaker 5 (56:56):
I think the question is, like, let's talk about how
the endurance of a horse and a mule that I've
been hearing about because I don't know, I've covered a
lot of country about run five mile race. When we
got back.
Speaker 2 (57:11):
Man, Yeah, hey Smurf, we called him old Blue, Oh smurf,
dead gum. That is that's the Marshall has an incredible animal.
I mean, it's that.
Speaker 4 (57:23):
Horse is part of our horse program here at the
ranch and tell us about it. He's he's just a
five year old blue horse.
Speaker 1 (57:30):
Is he fifteen one fifteen?
Speaker 5 (57:32):
He's probably fifteen one fifteen to two.
Speaker 2 (57:35):
Betty weighs thirteen hundred pounds though at least Yeah, he's
a big style horse. So like Betty bay Weys one
thousand and fifties and that's a good sized mule.
Speaker 1 (57:43):
Fourteen three.
Speaker 4 (57:44):
Yeah, I bet that horse wears fourteen fifty probably it's
out his rump is, yeah, two and a half. And
he can run, he go, and he's got And that's man.
I'm lucky on horses, man, because I mean the bay horse,
the black horse, the blue horse, the they're all great horses.
Speaker 5 (58:01):
And they'll do that right there every day.
Speaker 1 (58:04):
I mean they you know.
Speaker 4 (58:06):
And that's another thing, you know, I think a lot
of the horses that mule guys compare to our guys.
Speaker 5 (58:13):
That a lot of guys work all week.
Speaker 4 (58:15):
Go grab their mule, go coon hunting, go squirrel, go
do whatever, and they ride that mule once or twice
a week. And I think you know what y'all's mules
did on a schedule versus like, if you're gonna do
that on a horse, you gotta put a lot of
miles on a horse, Like you got to keep that
thing tuned up. You know, if I only ride my
(58:36):
horse once a week, there is no way my horse
could have done all that, you know, But you know,
you keep them legged up, you keep them in shape,
you know, and I do understand it does It is
a lot more maintenance. My one horse probably ate more
hay the last three days than four.
Speaker 5 (58:51):
Y'all's mules, you know. But you know, when you go
sports car, you gotta put a lot of gas in it.
Speaker 2 (58:58):
Yeah, it was, it was, It was impressive. Now I
can't say I'm not.
Speaker 5 (59:04):
Have a better horse than that. No, Well, if they
don't kill a line with us, and I'll even let
him ride a good.
Speaker 3 (59:13):
Horse basically basically, So what I just heard you say
is you know how Evan Felker talked about alcohol, like
I'll never do it. That's basically what Marshall said about mules.
Speaker 1 (59:27):
I like, I wouldn't other people, but they're not for me.
Speaker 4 (59:31):
Yeah, I'd like to have a pack mule, just to
have a mule, because I do think they're cool. Yeah,
but I'm gonna have a hard time walking past my
horses to ride a mule.
Speaker 2 (59:38):
Well, and but you're not the average horse guy either, Yeah,
I mean you gotta pin with with with what you
got going on here at the ranch. I mean you
got a pin full of horses that are, yes, sir,
top end performance ranch horses. Rodey of horses, cutting horses,
raining horse, I mean pretty incredible animals.
Speaker 4 (59:54):
Oh yeah, I mean I got my two pickup horses
and then my cow horse, and they, I mean.
Speaker 5 (59:58):
There's big, stout, athletic horses.
Speaker 4 (01:00:00):
And then the ranch has some really nice horses, and
we've started getting some brood mares to raise our own
horses and stuff and just kind of barely getting into
the horse program here. And yeah, it's just there's nothing
better than riding a good horse.
Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
Man.
Speaker 4 (01:00:16):
I grew up riding junkie horses, and it was like
it's I didn't really make it, but as soon as
I could afford a luxury item, I went and got
the best horse I could get. And ever since then,
you know, my buddy Bobby Hayley always says like life's.
Speaker 5 (01:00:31):
Too short to ride a crappy horse. I don't know,
can you say that on here?
Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
Yeah, but yeah, life's too short to ride a sorry horse.
And he like converted me completely, cause I used to
just have a bunch of horses, you know, and he's
the one that like fine to me. He was like, dude,
just get it, get rid of those three and get
one so we can actually like go get something done,
you know, like pull up on something you're proud of,
you know. And ever since then, it's like, now I've
(01:01:00):
got a I don't know, Ferrari budget, or I got
a Ferrari dreams on a Volkswagen budget, I think, is
what they say.
Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
Here you go.
Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
But uh, yeah, I'm very blessed to have some awesome
horses here at the wrench.
Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
Yeah yeah, big news. What's that I bought a mule?
Speaker 7 (01:01:17):
Oh yeah, Josh, is this the last time I have
to rent out Merle?
Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
We'll see, we'll see. I'll see how this mule goes.
I might be running back to come get Merle.
Speaker 7 (01:01:30):
It'll get hired.
Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
So yeah, well, tell tell us about.
Speaker 3 (01:01:34):
Your real Well, she's she's a big girl. You've never
ritten her yet. I haven't written her yet. I've seen
her once.
Speaker 7 (01:01:39):
Mistake.
Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
Let me just say it was a total impulse spy.
Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Well it was your buddy.
Speaker 3 (01:01:47):
Yes, it was an impulse spy from a buddy. So
I haven't ritten her yet. But she's a big girl.
She's sixteen hands, so hopefully she'll be stout enough to
carry a big boy.
Speaker 4 (01:01:59):
So I'm a break to your rope ladder. Take with you,
So you can get on it. Yeah, collapsible bucket, that's
what you need. That's gonna be tough.
Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
So we got another horseman in our presence, Justin. He's
bought two pretty nice roping horses in the last two months.
Bought two, sold one, bought two, sold one.
Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
Do you keep them in the same field as your mules?
Speaker 7 (01:02:23):
I do. They're not allowed to be in the same
field as with my dad and stepmoms because they're in
the same mentality as Marshall here. They're fire breeding dragons
to kill somebody. What do you mean mules can't be
with top end horses.
Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
Really, they're afraid to hurt them.
Speaker 7 (01:02:41):
Oh yeah for real? Oh yeah, bad deal.
Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Now, Justin, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
This may have been a private conversation we had that
you don't want to share it when you said, like
your your roping horses, they get hurt easy. You can't
hardly ride them out of the pen.
Speaker 7 (01:02:57):
I mean, but but yeah, for the most part, you're
not going to take a single horse that you've seen
it go through the roping and come out here and
do what we did. Not a chance you agree with that?
Speaker 4 (01:03:10):
Oh yeah, ninety percent of the horses, those guys are
going on. I can't do a quarter of what that
blue horse did.
Speaker 7 (01:03:16):
Yeah. Eighty five percent of them have never done anything
outside that arena. Yeah, and yeah, that that's a part
of why I have bought a second horse and sold
the other one, the first one, which he was fine
for what he was, but you wouldn't gonna do anything
with rope stairs on him in that arena. And well,
I'm no big cowboy, but if I want to go
(01:03:36):
do something on one, if I need to go catch
it here and pasture, if I need to go trail ride,
I want to go down to Buffalo. Whatever I want
to do, he wasn't doing it.
Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:03:44):
And anyway, the second purchase, he's a lot nicer horse,
well rounded horse, more of.
Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
A ranch horse.
Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
Yeah. I mean you can rope on him and do
our stuff, but you also go.
Speaker 7 (01:03:55):
You can do anything you want to. I wouldn't be
scared a bit to bring him out here, really, honestly,
I wouldn't them. Yeah, but he would not be a
top end cellar. So somebody's want to go head steers. Yeah,
he's he isn't a finished you know, he is an
open horse by no means, how old is He's he's
a nice horse. Nice horse for me.
Speaker 5 (01:04:16):
And I'm curious to you.
Speaker 4 (01:04:19):
I see way more horses that are really nice outside
can just go in the arena and dominate. And there's
so many horses you see do incredible things in the
arena that it takes three people load him in the trailer,
you get him down the alleyway.
Speaker 5 (01:04:33):
You know, some of those.
Speaker 4 (01:04:33):
Barrel horses you see crazy like you, it's ridiculous, man Like,
we have bucking horses that handle better than some of
them in the alleyway. It seems like, I mean them girls,
they got a halt when they when they come down there.
You watch some of those high end barrel horses. They'll
kill you before the before they run through the line. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(01:04:54):
it make me nervous.
Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
YEA was doing that, that's uh yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
My grandpa always said, don't date a barrel racer because
you're gonna have to deal with her horse.
Speaker 5 (01:05:07):
The horse is almost impossible. That is a So I
got me a great girlfriend. It's not a barrel racer.
Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Okay, Okay, she.
Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Was on that mule today too.
Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
She did.
Speaker 5 (01:05:19):
She rode her mule and we go a lot of
miles out here on horseback too. She loves it.
Speaker 4 (01:05:23):
We packed mineral in and do all that.
Speaker 5 (01:05:26):
She would you a check for Betty Bayer right now
if she had my check book, no question about it.
Speaker 7 (01:05:34):
Is it at the house? Can we get it to her?
Speaker 4 (01:05:36):
No?
Speaker 5 (01:05:36):
I keep it down there at Texas place so she
can't get a hold of it.
Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
Well, I mean we've we've covered. We've covered quite a
bit pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
We have.
Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
Yeah, what what else do we I mean, we've I
wanted to talk to Marshall about line hunting, wildlife management,
the ranch, his horses. I mean, we hadn't even got
into the part of his life when he had How
many hog dogs did you have at the same time?
Speaker 4 (01:06:09):
At one time I had sixty finished hog dogs on
the chain, plus puppies, and I had a few females.
Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
Were big time into hog hunting in Texas for a while.
Speaker 5 (01:06:20):
I was pretty heavy in it, yes, sir, Yeah, yeah,
everything from like legitimately imported dogos, and I was what
I was doing was taking I was basically taking a
cata hula and coming up with a dog that was
a half catahula quarter blue tech quarter dogo. That was
(01:06:42):
my poison.
Speaker 4 (01:06:43):
And they were just really, really rough dogs. I ran
all running catchdogs, and I just I had tons of them.
I was guiding hunts five six nights a week, and
you go through a lot of dogs.
Speaker 5 (01:06:56):
I mean, just like the bear deal.
Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
If you're gonna go every day, you gotta have a
bunch of them and you wear them out.
Speaker 5 (01:07:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
I mean I probably had seventy five eighty dogs at
one time, but sixty sure enough.
Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
Put them on the truck, go catch pigs.
Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
Wow, for sure.
Speaker 5 (01:07:11):
I had six sets of those kennels and then about
thirty chains.
Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
And hey, you take really good care of your dogs.
Speaker 5 (01:07:19):
I take huge pride and take care of my dogs.
Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
Have clean kennels.
Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
Your dogs are health They get out of They get
out of their kennels twice a day every day. Kensey
helps me with it, and we clean their pins twice
a day. I mean, these dogs.
Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
Makes those pins for you.
Speaker 4 (01:07:41):
Full set, built those kennls, and he builds awesome dog kennles, y'all,
And I know he will just be absolutely a static
that he gets a shot. So Clay Nucombe, I already
gave him some kennels. You're gonna have to divvy up, so.
Speaker 7 (01:07:56):
He needs two sets.
Speaker 4 (01:07:58):
We need we need our and Demingo runs hog dogs
and stuff. That's why he started building kennels. He's another
guy from Weatherford, you know. And but yeah, builds all
some kennel's dog boxes all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:08:12):
So yeah, he'll dig that, But.
Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:08:15):
To me, I've gone and looked at some nice dogs
that I wanted to add to my pack. And sometimes
I'll go up to a guy's place and I just
look at the place around him, and I know he
doesn't take as much pride in his dogs as I do.
Speaker 5 (01:08:28):
And I have a hard time purchasing a dog from
somebody like that.
Speaker 4 (01:08:30):
Like when I show up and there's ten days worth
of stuff in there and everything else, it's just to me,
it's did he get lucky because he's not working hard
enough to make a good dog. So like, I'd love
to make every dog I have, but I don't have
the genetics here to just raise all my puppies. Like
there's I mean, if Warner Glenn calls you Thursday and
(01:08:53):
it's like, hey man, I'd love to say you these
two six month old puppies, Like I'd tell him yes
while I was driving through my gate, I wouldn't even
get out to unlock it, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
What I mean.
Speaker 4 (01:09:02):
Like there's people I'd love to get hounds from and
and the best ones you can't get. And that's that's
the hardest part, you know.
Speaker 7 (01:09:09):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (01:09:09):
So when I go over there, like some of these
guys got a bunch of money and everything else and
they got somebody else goes and I'm not gonna say
any names, but there's a guy in Texas that lives
like the dream life man, but he's got guys that
take care of his dogs.
Speaker 5 (01:09:25):
He's got guys that hunt his dogs. He's got guys
that like, to me, like, where's the fun in that?
Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
Just owning? Yeah? Yeah, he just pretty much.
Speaker 5 (01:09:34):
Can you imagine if I had like Jeffrey over there
cleaning my pins out put my dogs in the truck,
Like y'all wouldn't look at me. It's a hounsman. You're like, oh, dude,
there's oh Rich Marshall. He's got they're gonna go load
his wagon checked the air and his pires. You know,
it's cool. I don't know, disrespect like I wish I would.
Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
I wish I could do that, yeah, but but.
Speaker 4 (01:09:56):
I just like I enjoyed my time with those dogs
every and if you want a good handle and you
want to be able to call them off, and you
want to be able to do those things. It's like
I can tree a lion and take a picture and
do my deal and look at it and be proud
of myself, proud of my dogs, and I can whistle
and walk out of there and I don't even need
to carry a leash. There's you know, And but that
(01:10:20):
comes from spending time with them every single day, no
matter what rain, snow, sleek, hell, we've.
Speaker 5 (01:10:27):
Had all of it since you've been here.
Speaker 4 (01:10:30):
But and I mean, I just I have a huge
admiration for guys that really take care of their dogs.
Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
Yeah, well I noticed that right off.
Speaker 7 (01:10:37):
I really didn't.
Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
I did, for sure.
Speaker 5 (01:10:41):
It's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
