way 00:00:36.415 --> 00:00:40.285 of life, but beyond all the titles and achievements, he's someone who 00:00:40.355 --> 00:00:42.985 truly lives and breathes the outdoors. 00:00:43.745 --> 00:00:47.049 Welcome to the Silvercore podcast, Stéphane Monnet. 00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:49.129 Hi Travis, how are you? 00:00:49.430 --> 00:00:51.400 I'm doing really well, and I know I missed you. 00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:53.099 It's a good thing I'm a guy with a hundred 00:00:53.110 --> 00:00:53.760 Stephane Monette: years, eh? 00:00:54.580 --> 00:00:54.910 Travis Bader: Yes, you are. 00:00:55.370 --> 00:00:55.900 Stephane Monette: And I 00:00:55.930 --> 00:00:58.169 Travis Bader: totally messed up the, uh, firm. 00:00:58.180 --> 00:00:59.289 I said firm A. 00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:00.889 Stephane Monette: No, no, no, that's fine. 00:01:00.890 --> 00:01:02.030 It's a farm. 00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:02.639 That's cool. 00:01:02.649 --> 00:01:03.690 No problem for that. 00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:04.689 Monet Farm. 00:01:04.750 --> 00:01:10.039 Travis Bader: Yeah, over the years, man, the number of times I have 00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:13.590 butchered French names, I'm sorry, Catherine Laflamme, I know that's not 00:01:13.590 --> 00:01:19.780 your name, or Seb Lavoie, I know some I've had to back up and re record 00:01:19.990 --> 00:01:22.530 Catherine Laflamme, Seb Lavoie, right? 00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:23.669 Stephane Monette: That's right, that's right. 00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:29.575 But the thing is, Please, please be, uh, be cool with me because even my 00:01:29.575 --> 00:01:32.785 accent sometimes gives a hard time, so we're, we're going to be okay. 00:01:32.815 --> 00:01:33.774 We're going to be okay. 00:01:33.985 --> 00:01:34.575 Well, what did you 00:01:34.575 --> 00:01:35.194 Travis Bader: ask at the beginning? 00:01:35.195 --> 00:01:36.645 He's like, you're, you're going to be okay. 00:01:36.645 --> 00:01:38.065 You'll help me throw in some of the English words. 00:01:38.815 --> 00:01:39.605 I'll just sit back. 00:01:39.605 --> 00:01:40.604 I'll point and laugh. 00:01:40.914 --> 00:01:41.934 No, yeah, that's it. 00:01:41.964 --> 00:01:42.254 That's it. 00:01:42.255 --> 00:01:44.134 When I'll be, when I'll be in the ditch. 00:01:44.145 --> 00:01:44.545 That's right. 00:01:44.554 --> 00:01:44.875 That's right. 00:01:45.555 --> 00:01:46.125 Oh, I love it. 00:01:46.135 --> 00:01:49.615 So we first met, so I've, I've heard about you. 00:01:49.615 --> 00:01:52.025 I've known about you for some time, but we got to meet face to 00:01:52.295 --> 00:01:54.505 face at SHOT Show here recently. 00:01:55.005 --> 00:01:55.315 Yeah. 00:01:55.715 --> 00:01:58.824 I'm still getting over the cough in the, uh, I 00:01:58.824 --> 00:01:59.595 Stephane Monette: was okay. 00:01:59.635 --> 00:02:01.585 I don't know if I was okay. 00:02:01.585 --> 00:02:04.105 Normally I'm like you when I'm come back over the SHOT Show, 00:02:04.105 --> 00:02:06.395 you know, I got a coughing and stuff like that, but this year. 00:02:07.045 --> 00:02:07.755 I'll be fine. 00:02:07.785 --> 00:02:10.044 So I hope, I hope I don't get it later. 00:02:10.805 --> 00:02:11.125 No, 00:02:11.125 --> 00:02:13.285 Travis Bader: I think you're past that, man. 00:02:13.285 --> 00:02:14.084 This year is bad. 00:02:14.084 --> 00:02:15.695 Like I've seen some people come back. 00:02:16.035 --> 00:02:20.224 I remember years ago when COVID first hit and everyone's coming back 00:02:20.264 --> 00:02:22.335 and they're like, what is going on? 00:02:22.335 --> 00:02:26.295 I remember, uh, Paul Ballard, he's been on the podcast before, a good friend of mine. 00:02:26.295 --> 00:02:29.415 And he was down there at, um, at shot with me. 00:02:29.415 --> 00:02:34.445 And he was, he was green and he was in bed for about a week afterwards. 00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:35.240 Stephane Monette: That's it. 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:35.590 You're right. 00:02:35.590 --> 00:02:36.460 And there's a tons. 00:02:36.460 --> 00:02:40.980 Now it took like really hurting, really, really bad, but I think I 00:02:40.980 --> 00:02:44.080 would say that, you know, where we're living on a farm, we're in a little, 00:02:44.260 --> 00:02:46.270 we're a little bit on the side. 00:02:46.290 --> 00:02:48.329 So I hope, I hope we don't come here. 00:02:48.350 --> 00:02:48.940 So we just 00:02:48.940 --> 00:02:51.020 Travis Bader: hope you got, you got a cool farm. 00:02:51.119 --> 00:02:54.560 You're not, you're not your traditional typical type of farm. 00:02:54.630 --> 00:02:55.810 Tell me about your farm 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.710 Stephane Monette: by, you know, the thing is it's a whitetail farm. 00:02:58.710 --> 00:02:58.764 Yeah. 00:02:58.924 --> 00:03:03.274 Okay, we are raising whitetail at the time was for, uh, collecting 00:03:03.274 --> 00:03:05.464 the urine for making attractant for 00:03:06.285 --> 00:03:06.545 Travis Bader: huntings. 00:03:06.565 --> 00:03:10.505 Stephane Monette: But when the CWD stuff just arrived on the east side, 00:03:10.795 --> 00:03:15.024 so all government shut off all the collecting of these, uh, those urines. 00:03:15.695 --> 00:03:19.980 So, um But the thing is, you know, the business was like that for 30 years. 00:03:20.230 --> 00:03:25.290 So we, and we knew we here, I was on programs to collecting information 00:03:25.299 --> 00:03:27.019 for the CWD and everything. 00:03:27.370 --> 00:03:31.420 So, uh, when we see that, I would say 20 years ago, my dad, 00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:33.090 because it's a family stuff here. 00:03:33.099 --> 00:03:36.290 You know, I, we live, I live with my dad, my mom, my sons, 00:03:36.290 --> 00:03:37.450 we're all living in the barns. 00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:44.500 And, um, when we hear, you know, about CWD, we're just starting to do everything, 00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:48.590 you know, on synthetic, synthetic products, you know, not real products, 00:03:48.590 --> 00:03:53.169 but so make a lot of study, make a lot of research looking for everything. 00:03:53.450 --> 00:03:58.050 So when the law comes about the CWD and stop collecting urines, we 00:03:58.050 --> 00:04:00.010 were ready to selling stuff like. 00:04:00.570 --> 00:04:04.170 You know, like we do now, and it's incent did I'm right. 00:04:04.740 --> 00:04:05.760 S is that okay? 00:04:05.820 --> 00:04:07.105 Is synthetic? 00:04:07.615 --> 00:04:07.905 Yeah. 00:04:08.265 --> 00:04:08.785 Sed what? 00:04:09.450 --> 00:04:10.200 Synthetic. 00:04:10.350 --> 00:04:11.490 You know, not real one. 00:04:11.490 --> 00:04:13.280 It's like, uh oh. 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:14.090 Synthetic. 00:04:14.090 --> 00:04:14.780 Yes, synthetic. 00:04:15.105 --> 00:04:15.305 Synthetic. 00:04:15.305 --> 00:04:17.510 That's, that's my French accent again. 00:04:19.700 --> 00:04:20.000 Travis Bader: Yes. 00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:20.630 Synthetic. 00:04:20.704 --> 00:04:21.305 I got you. 00:04:21.305 --> 00:04:21.635 That's it. 00:04:21.950 --> 00:04:22.150 Synthetic. 00:04:22.294 --> 00:04:22.715 That's it. 00:04:22.805 --> 00:04:23.135 That's it. 00:04:23.140 --> 00:04:27.430 Do you find the synthetic works better than different or what? 00:04:27.435 --> 00:04:29.765 Stephane Monette: What we found out is, uh, yes. 00:04:29.794 --> 00:04:31.925 For the smell, it's really, really worked. 00:04:31.925 --> 00:04:36.585 The thing is when the hunters smell it and they found out the smell, is it 00:04:36.585 --> 00:04:38.655 sometime they said it looked perfume. 00:04:38.655 --> 00:04:39.945 You always smell like a perfume. 00:04:40.275 --> 00:04:42.615 But the thing is, when you dry it in the air. 00:04:43.010 --> 00:04:47.260 And, uh, it goes with the oxygen, the real sense is going to come by. 00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:53.070 And after that, with all the research we did for the last 20 years, we found out 00:04:53.099 --> 00:04:59.480 the way to put inside the pheromones, real, not real pheromones, but send, tell 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.410 me again, synthetic, synthetic, synthetic. 00:05:03.554 --> 00:05:07.044 Paramount, so that now it's, it's really changing. 00:05:07.085 --> 00:05:10.674 It's, it's a big game changing on, on the, that kind of attractant. 00:05:10.984 --> 00:05:12.554 So we do well, everything is fine. 00:05:12.564 --> 00:05:15.884 We, um, we could not respond to all the domain. 00:05:15.884 --> 00:05:16.494 So that's fine. 00:05:16.774 --> 00:05:17.564 Travis Bader: Isn't that funny. 00:05:17.564 --> 00:05:18.934 You bring up a really good point. 00:05:18.934 --> 00:05:22.104 Cause not only does it have to be effective for the animals to 00:05:22.104 --> 00:05:24.884 work, but you're also marketing it towards the individual. 00:05:24.884 --> 00:05:26.184 It's like camouflage, right? 00:05:26.344 --> 00:05:29.444 You can have a highly effective camouflage that nobody's going to wear it. 00:05:29.444 --> 00:05:31.765 Cause they're like, ah, I don't think it looks good, right? 00:05:32.125 --> 00:05:32.875 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:05:32.875 --> 00:05:33.720 That's right. 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:34.775 Stephane Monette: That's how it is. 00:05:34.795 --> 00:05:35.505 That's how it is. 00:05:35.724 --> 00:05:39.365 But your thing is, you know, from 30 years, we get that business. 00:05:39.445 --> 00:05:41.504 Now what's, what is really, really cool. 00:05:41.504 --> 00:05:43.495 It's the success of the hunters. 00:05:44.195 --> 00:05:47.925 So we don't have to sell it more now because what it really helped 00:05:48.005 --> 00:05:49.914 helping us in the social media. 00:05:50.574 --> 00:05:52.134 So those guys now are. 00:05:52.705 --> 00:05:57.604 posting their, their success for a moose, for a deer, stuff like that. 00:05:57.615 --> 00:06:01.775 So we have nothing to say about, listen, if you don't believe it, talk about with 00:06:01.775 --> 00:06:07.094 this guy, this guy shot this and this and this, and they have success with it. 00:06:07.885 --> 00:06:08.895 So that's how it is now. 00:06:08.895 --> 00:06:12.874 So, so the social media really, really put the end phases of 00:06:12.874 --> 00:06:14.814 the success of those products. 00:06:15.094 --> 00:06:16.705 So for us, what's really easy after that. 00:06:17.284 --> 00:06:17.765 So we 00:06:17.765 --> 00:06:21.085 Travis Bader: just got our first kind of confirmed cases of chronic 00:06:21.085 --> 00:06:26.044 waste and disease in British Columbia within the last year and a bit now. 00:06:26.745 --> 00:06:27.024 Oh, 00:06:27.024 --> 00:06:28.865 Stephane Monette: it's about a year for you guys up there. 00:06:29.075 --> 00:06:29.645 Travis Bader: Yeah. 00:06:29.784 --> 00:06:30.094 Yeah. 00:06:30.094 --> 00:06:31.005 But I didn't know. 00:06:31.005 --> 00:06:32.545 I didn't know on BCs. 00:06:32.655 --> 00:06:33.204 I didn't know. 00:06:33.444 --> 00:06:35.449 They just started kind of coming in. 00:06:36.150 --> 00:06:38.609 And, uh, but yeah, about a year. 00:06:38.640 --> 00:06:39.729 I get, I think that's about right. 00:06:40.090 --> 00:06:43.200 Uh, somebody listening will probably be able to correct me, but, uh, 00:06:43.729 --> 00:06:45.530 uh, from my recollection, yeah. 00:06:45.539 --> 00:06:50.659 Well, what does the impact like on the deer population over in Quebec? 00:06:50.679 --> 00:06:52.400 And, and what was the impact like on your farm? 00:06:52.499 --> 00:06:56.359 Stephane Monette: We, uh, they did, uh, about the last five years. 00:06:56.780 --> 00:07:01.500 Uh, they found out, uh, in, uh, in a farm, on a red deer. 00:07:01.510 --> 00:07:03.880 They got, they found out CWD in there. 00:07:04.370 --> 00:07:07.889 So, uh, there was a big emergency all in the province. 00:07:07.989 --> 00:07:11.910 So, uh, they shot over four, I would say, is that 2, 000? 00:07:11.910 --> 00:07:15.809 Yeah, I think 2, 000 deer just around that farm. 00:07:16.260 --> 00:07:19.430 Make sure there's no disease, there's nothing happen. 00:07:19.460 --> 00:07:23.909 And after five years, just last year, they says everything was fine. 00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:25.840 We have no disease in the wild. 00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:27.940 So that was really, really cool. 00:07:28.280 --> 00:07:29.990 So they found out it was really cool. 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.380 The thing is, it's just a matter of time. 00:07:34.930 --> 00:07:38.840 The disease is going to come because the disease is on the South. 00:07:39.010 --> 00:07:39.290 Okay. 00:07:39.290 --> 00:07:40.960 All along the border, they have it. 00:07:41.410 --> 00:07:45.159 So, um, the thing is we have to live with the disease. 00:07:45.189 --> 00:07:46.019 That's the only thing. 00:07:46.049 --> 00:07:50.360 And the thing is in Quebec with the snow, there's, you know, the, um, 00:07:50.390 --> 00:07:52.010 the temperature is really, really. 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.939 Not really perfect for the deer up north. 00:07:54.939 --> 00:07:59.939 So I think there's not a lot of chance the disease is going to come really hard like 00:07:59.939 --> 00:08:04.030 a touch like a Saskatchewan or Alberta or those, those place, you know, I don't 00:08:04.030 --> 00:08:06.509 know you guys in, in, uh, in, uh, in 00:08:06.509 --> 00:08:07.019 Travis Bader: BCs. 00:08:07.415 --> 00:08:08.805 Yeah, no, Alberta has got it. 00:08:08.835 --> 00:08:13.525 Uh, I was talking with Kevin Kossowin, uh, from the wild is a show that he puts out. 00:08:13.525 --> 00:08:16.484 And, you know, he's like, it's terrible. 00:08:16.495 --> 00:08:20.624 We go out there, you harvest your deer, you bring it back. 00:08:20.634 --> 00:08:21.234 It's hanging up. 00:08:21.234 --> 00:08:23.724 You send in your, uh, your samples for testing. 00:08:23.724 --> 00:08:27.094 You find out that yeah, it tested positive for CWD. 00:08:27.124 --> 00:08:28.955 And they, they recommend that you. 00:08:29.525 --> 00:08:33.095 Uh, don't eat it, even though they don't know if it's, but the thing is, there's 00:08:33.095 --> 00:08:34.174 Stephane Monette: no danger yet. 00:08:34.205 --> 00:08:41.634 There's no danger for human that that's even on the States, but whatever happens, 00:08:42.005 --> 00:08:43.825 nothing's really happened to human. 00:08:43.825 --> 00:08:47.875 But like, like you says, you know, on Thursday is going to eat it or not. 00:08:47.894 --> 00:08:48.624 It depends. 00:08:48.925 --> 00:08:50.849 But what I find out in the States. 00:08:51.319 --> 00:08:54.930 They don't, they don't care about if nobody's dead with that. 00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:56.130 So we just have to think about it in the States? 00:08:57.160 --> 00:08:57.560 Travis Bader: Sorry? 00:08:57.560 --> 00:08:58.143 That's something I should know. 00:08:58.143 --> 00:08:59.570 It's something I probably should know. 00:08:59.570 --> 00:09:02.500 Do they eat the deer with CWD in the States? 00:09:02.839 --> 00:09:04.049 A lot of place where I go, 00:09:04.049 --> 00:09:05.490 Stephane Monette: they don't, they don't care about that. 00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:06.030 Yeah. 00:09:06.030 --> 00:09:06.839 They don't care about it. 00:09:07.150 --> 00:09:10.480 But the thing is there's so much now animal about this and there's no 00:09:10.489 --> 00:09:14.770 danger for, you know, between you and me, if they tell me one of my deer 00:09:14.780 --> 00:09:17.535 got CWD, if I shot a deer, For sure. 00:09:17.535 --> 00:09:18.715 I don't think I'm going to eat it. 00:09:18.745 --> 00:09:19.015 Okay. 00:09:19.185 --> 00:09:20.435 Just make sure everything was fine. 00:09:20.855 --> 00:09:25.205 But, uh, on the top of everything, there's so much deer kill in, in the States. 00:09:25.545 --> 00:09:27.615 No one are all tested. 00:09:28.115 --> 00:09:32.405 So for sure, someone's going to eat, eat them and nothing's happened with, with 00:09:32.405 --> 00:09:34.505 no, you know, no result for the hunter. 00:09:34.505 --> 00:09:36.375 So I don't know. 00:09:36.375 --> 00:09:37.205 I don't know exactly. 00:09:37.335 --> 00:09:39.525 But the thing is, you know, that disease was there. 00:09:40.125 --> 00:09:42.635 A hundred years ago and it's going to be there until after that. 00:09:42.925 --> 00:09:43.714 So I don't know. 00:09:43.775 --> 00:09:44.545 I don't know exactly. 00:09:44.555 --> 00:09:46.574 The thing is controlling the population. 00:09:46.584 --> 00:09:47.515 That's, that's the point. 00:09:48.075 --> 00:09:52.945 If you have too much deer, some disease is going to happen to control the population. 00:09:52.945 --> 00:09:54.055 So that's how it is. 00:09:54.505 --> 00:09:55.465 That happened with the moose. 00:09:55.474 --> 00:09:56.375 That happened with the geese. 00:09:56.384 --> 00:09:58.064 That happened with all, all of them. 00:09:58.075 --> 00:09:59.454 So it depends. 00:09:59.665 --> 00:10:01.935 Travis Bader: Nature's got an interesting way of leveling things out. 00:10:01.935 --> 00:10:02.634 Same with people. 00:10:03.314 --> 00:10:04.744 There'll be a natural disaster. 00:10:04.754 --> 00:10:05.655 There'll be disease. 00:10:05.665 --> 00:10:10.475 There'll be food shortage or famine, strife, pestilence, war. 00:10:10.934 --> 00:10:14.775 Whatever the four horses of the apocalypse are. 00:10:15.285 --> 00:10:15.505 Of course, 00:10:16.115 --> 00:10:19.104 Stephane Monette: mother nature is really, really, really strong. 00:10:20.974 --> 00:10:22.734 Travis Bader: She's better than us on everything. 00:10:23.489 --> 00:10:26.119 Sure does George Garland had something to say on that. 00:10:26.430 --> 00:10:29.390 So you think you're, you think you're going to have an impact on nature? 00:10:29.550 --> 00:10:30.920 You are just a blip. 00:10:31.030 --> 00:10:36.329 Humankind is just a blip on the universe, on the world, on earth. 00:10:39.099 --> 00:10:42.039 Stephane Monette: And the thing is us, we know that better than anyone, 00:10:42.429 --> 00:10:44.359 because we're always on the field. 00:10:45.189 --> 00:10:49.529 You see, we always have mud on our boots and we see all the difference. 00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:50.569 You see the difference. 00:10:50.995 --> 00:10:56.145 On the, um, the, the, the temperature we see when it's changing, when you see, uh, 00:10:56.165 --> 00:10:59.305 falls coming faster or summer is too hot. 00:10:59.555 --> 00:11:05.004 We see exactly when we are on the field, the changing, I would say that those 00:11:05.004 --> 00:11:10.074 guys or those girls in, in the town are living top by top by top of them, you 00:11:10.074 --> 00:11:12.224 know, they don't know nothing about that. 00:11:12.364 --> 00:11:15.845 So, so us, we are really, really close for that. 00:11:15.845 --> 00:11:19.105 And we, we really, I think we really know more than everybody. 00:11:19.510 --> 00:11:22.890 What's going to come because we see the difference, we see the change. 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.189 So, well, the best predictor 00:11:25.189 --> 00:11:27.090 Travis Bader: of future performance is past performance. 00:11:27.110 --> 00:11:32.180 And if you've got a strong, a strong database of past performance, you've 00:11:32.540 --> 00:11:35.259 probably got a pretty good idea of where things are going to be going in the 00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:37.089 future, and that shouldn't be discounted. 00:11:37.710 --> 00:11:38.100 Stephane Monette: I see. 00:11:38.160 --> 00:11:38.670 I agree. 00:11:38.780 --> 00:11:43.589 I agree with you, but sometimes, sometimes they, if we don't have 00:11:43.589 --> 00:11:49.079 any university or a day, they don't, they don't, they don't agree with 00:11:49.310 --> 00:11:50.060 Travis Bader: what we're saying. 00:11:50.060 --> 00:11:54.889 So never confuse an education with intelligence. 00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:55.530 Yes. 00:11:56.010 --> 00:11:57.794 They, they, they can go hand in hand. 00:11:58.285 --> 00:11:59.105 But not always. 00:11:59.415 --> 00:12:00.415 Stephane Monette: No, no. 00:12:00.465 --> 00:12:01.215 I agree with you. 00:12:01.285 --> 00:12:02.015 I agree with you. 00:12:02.255 --> 00:12:05.645 Travis Bader: So you started guiding, was that on Anticosti 00:12:05.645 --> 00:12:06.374 Island where you started? 00:12:06.505 --> 00:12:07.035 Yeah, that's right. 00:12:07.545 --> 00:12:09.695 So Anticosti Island, I'm looking at it. 00:12:09.755 --> 00:12:12.424 The place, I'd never heard of it before you and I were chatting about it. 00:12:12.424 --> 00:12:13.195 It looks amazing. 00:12:13.344 --> 00:12:15.635 Less than 300 people living on the island. 00:12:15.674 --> 00:12:21.335 No paved roads, big waterfalls, giant caves, and over 115, 000 00:12:21.345 --> 00:12:23.135 white tail deer on this island. 00:12:23.475 --> 00:12:27.295 Just a little over seven. 00:12:27.564 --> 00:12:30.485 What's a 7, 000 kilometers. 00:12:30.935 --> 00:12:31.194 Yep. 00:12:31.214 --> 00:12:31.435 Yep. 00:12:31.454 --> 00:12:31.584 Yep. 00:12:31.644 --> 00:12:32.045 Stephane Monette: That's right. 00:12:32.074 --> 00:12:37.085 And the thing is that Island was, uh, was, uh, that was a rich, uh, 00:12:37.135 --> 00:12:41.204 chocolate guy in the early nineteens. 00:12:41.505 --> 00:12:44.785 Did that, it's a Meunier, that name, from France. 00:12:44.875 --> 00:12:45.595 Henri Meunier. 00:12:45.595 --> 00:12:49.225 And uh, uh, Meunier, his name, was that guy. 00:12:49.655 --> 00:12:56.165 And uh, he just pay some people to brings a lot of animal on that island to hunting. 00:12:56.895 --> 00:12:59.585 And when he die, and he sell it. 00:13:00.310 --> 00:13:04.110 By the only animal who really live on it was whitetail. 00:13:04.110 --> 00:13:08.790 Moose were, moose they have a little bit, but the elk was gone, 00:13:08.970 --> 00:13:10.670 everything, and no predators. 00:13:10.800 --> 00:13:13.829 So no wolves, no coyotes, nothing up there. 00:13:14.130 --> 00:13:21.530 So, um, and why the reason I was, I was, uh, I agreed to go guiding up 00:13:21.530 --> 00:13:26.690 there is because my dad and my mom had the opportunity to buy a set up to do 00:13:26.690 --> 00:13:30.630 outfitters, be the first outfitters on the Anticosti Island, because all the 00:13:30.630 --> 00:13:33.300 island was to the government before that. 00:13:33.900 --> 00:13:37.680 So some part of the territory was given. 00:13:38.139 --> 00:13:41.660 And my dad at that time of the contact or I don't know what. 00:13:42.020 --> 00:13:45.910 And, uh, he get, he get the, the, the, the opportunity to get. 00:13:46.310 --> 00:13:47.220 Outfitters up there. 00:13:47.520 --> 00:13:54.870 So, I'm a young guy, 16 years old, Uh, at school for, uh, cooking. 00:13:55.190 --> 00:13:57.160 And my dad says, uh, You're summertime. 00:13:57.490 --> 00:14:01.150 Do you want to go fishing salmon and go hunting deer until you're going 00:14:01.150 --> 00:14:03.650 to restart your, uh, your school? 00:14:03.910 --> 00:14:05.110 Why not, you think? 00:14:05.110 --> 00:14:06.329 The answer is, 00:14:06.330 --> 00:14:07.130 Travis Bader: uh, yes. 00:14:07.385 --> 00:14:08.455 Yes, I would. 00:14:08.465 --> 00:14:08.945 Thank you. 00:14:09.735 --> 00:14:09.825 Stephane Monette: Yeah. 00:14:09.825 --> 00:14:10.275 That's it. 00:14:10.275 --> 00:14:11.925 So that's why it's so young. 00:14:12.405 --> 00:14:14.095 I start guiding up there. 00:14:14.325 --> 00:14:17.965 So a for Salmon fishing, you know, I was replacing the guide. 00:14:17.965 --> 00:14:25.275 So when some guys guide could not go with customer, I went guiding and after that 00:14:25.275 --> 00:14:27.265 they gave me some group for hunting deer. 00:14:27.265 --> 00:14:30.905 So that's how I started everything until 19, 20 years old. 00:14:31.215 --> 00:14:33.535 And after that I went, I finished my school. 00:14:33.825 --> 00:14:38.215 I was, um, I was going to be a cook. 00:14:40.005 --> 00:14:43.095 And, uh, by not so long, it took a year. 00:14:43.095 --> 00:14:45.515 And after that I said, no way I want to be cook anymore. 00:14:45.835 --> 00:14:46.845 Travis Bader: I want to go in the field. 00:14:48.095 --> 00:14:49.565 Stephane Monette: That's a different way of life. 00:14:49.565 --> 00:14:49.955 Travis Bader: Isn't it? 00:14:49.965 --> 00:14:53.894 Being a chef, that's a, yeah, you really got to, you got 00:14:53.895 --> 00:14:55.385 to buy into that lifestyle. 00:14:55.385 --> 00:14:58.725 If you're going to do it, you got to go just head first and jump in. 00:14:58.725 --> 00:15:01.555 And that can be, that can be a, a tough, a tough go. 00:15:02.125 --> 00:15:03.105 You know, when you like 00:15:03.105 --> 00:15:05.435 Stephane Monette: wildlife, you like to go outside and everything. 00:15:05.765 --> 00:15:10.655 Always be inside on the back of the, you know, the cooking and stuff and 00:15:10.665 --> 00:15:12.385 the stress on there and everything is 00:15:13.415 --> 00:15:14.165 Travis Bader: not for me anymore. 00:15:14.165 --> 00:15:17.645 What I found is really cool is that correlation between 00:15:17.655 --> 00:15:18.955 your natural environment. 00:15:19.395 --> 00:15:23.165 And somebody who's passionate about knowing where their food comes from, 00:15:23.555 --> 00:15:27.954 because there's a difference between the person who just likes to hunt or 00:15:27.954 --> 00:15:29.885 the person who just likes to cook. 00:15:29.905 --> 00:15:34.444 The person who has a solid appreciation and understanding of, 00:15:34.564 --> 00:15:38.545 of food and food preparation and what you can do with it, who also. 00:15:39.110 --> 00:15:43.360 Is drawn towards farming, gardening, uh, the animals, the 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.920 biology, the, the, the marine life. 00:15:46.469 --> 00:15:47.349 Holy crow. 00:15:47.400 --> 00:15:49.749 That that's a really cool piece. 00:15:49.780 --> 00:15:56.379 And only Only, you know, in the only recently really have I, have I 00:15:56.410 --> 00:16:01.029 seen that portrayed in sort of its fullness, because everyone understands 00:16:01.040 --> 00:16:04.149 you hunt, you have meat, you can go and you've got food, right? 00:16:04.149 --> 00:16:09.499 But that, that connection between nature and food and our role in all of that. 00:16:09.844 --> 00:16:17.035 Has really been, uh, put on the forefront in modern social media, in modern, like 00:16:17.035 --> 00:16:20.064 meat eater and these, uh, Netflix shows. 00:16:20.464 --> 00:16:23.314 Stephane Monette: Those guys bring, you know, new opening of that. 00:16:23.685 --> 00:16:28.894 And I think the COVID, COVID did a lot of things on that, because we see here on the 00:16:28.894 --> 00:16:31.875 East side, a lot of increasing, uh, woman. 00:16:32.405 --> 00:16:37.885 Mother going hunting, bring the food to the family with the, the, the husband. 00:16:37.885 --> 00:16:42.114 And so, so we see, you know, from the last six years, five years, 00:16:42.315 --> 00:16:43.755 it's really, really increasing. 00:16:43.755 --> 00:16:47.785 And those environment of cooking and hunting and all those stuff 00:16:47.875 --> 00:16:49.294 going really very well now. 00:16:49.745 --> 00:16:50.035 Travis Bader: Yeah. 00:16:50.065 --> 00:16:56.564 So my wife, we've met this, uh, red seal chef and, uh, you know, and she loves 00:16:56.655 --> 00:17:01.035 gardening and farming and she loves being outdoors and hunting and fishing, 00:17:01.045 --> 00:17:02.745 and it was interesting looking at. 00:17:03.275 --> 00:17:07.685 The perspective that I brought, cause I was always, uh, survival type going 00:17:07.694 --> 00:17:09.185 out in the woods, spending time out. 00:17:10.405 --> 00:17:12.845 She's brings us very civilized nature to it. 00:17:12.845 --> 00:17:13.845 I'm like, Holy crud. 00:17:14.534 --> 00:17:16.684 This is really good food that we can eat when we're out there. 00:17:16.685 --> 00:17:19.464 We make a good team, but she's also looking at different things, right? 00:17:19.484 --> 00:17:21.134 She's like, Oh, our, our elevation. 00:17:21.135 --> 00:17:25.784 We need to, uh, we need to drop down a little bit because the, uh, spruce tips, 00:17:25.784 --> 00:17:29.994 I'm not noticing them on the, uh, cause she'd collect spruce tips and eat them. 00:17:30.165 --> 00:17:30.475 Stephane Monette: I know. 00:17:30.835 --> 00:17:31.175 Travis Bader: Yeah. 00:17:31.304 --> 00:17:32.715 Our, our elevation is too high. 00:17:32.715 --> 00:17:33.465 We've got to go down. 00:17:33.465 --> 00:17:35.715 If we're looking for something like, well, that's interesting. 00:17:35.765 --> 00:17:37.035 I'm looking at different things. 00:17:37.045 --> 00:17:39.845 She's looking at different things, but it compliments very nicely. 00:17:39.955 --> 00:17:40.475 Stephane Monette: Of course. 00:17:40.535 --> 00:17:45.615 And there's a lot of opening now on both sides, both sides, a lot of opening. 00:17:45.775 --> 00:17:49.024 But when you put everything together, it's a perfect way. 00:17:49.024 --> 00:17:51.305 I think that's what that's that. 00:17:52.045 --> 00:17:53.745 Well, you've written some cookbooks. 00:17:54.145 --> 00:17:54.705 Of course. 00:17:54.735 --> 00:17:59.295 That's, you know, the thing is the way we live. 00:18:00.150 --> 00:18:04.150 It's really, I don't, I don't want to say normal, but the thing is we're living on 00:18:04.150 --> 00:18:11.970 a farm, raising deer, all from, from, I don't understand when, but we're always 00:18:12.070 --> 00:18:15.200 eating wild, wild meat all the time. 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:16.199 Even it's moose. 00:18:16.635 --> 00:18:19.435 Deer, ducks, geese, whatever, okay? 00:18:19.575 --> 00:18:24.035 So, and all recipe from the family was made by dad, 00:18:24.035 --> 00:18:25.595 because my mom was doing this. 00:18:25.755 --> 00:18:29.394 Also, I'm a cook, so I'm, I'm, I'm doing a lot of cooking stuff with it. 00:18:29.955 --> 00:18:33.465 And when I found out, a lot of people, you know, with the media, social media 00:18:33.465 --> 00:18:37.565 and everything says, How you do this and how you do that and how you do, so we 00:18:37.565 --> 00:18:41.375 just say, okay, the first book we're going to do is going to be the family recipe. 00:18:41.915 --> 00:18:48.754 So whatever simple macaroni with moves or just simple stuff in 00:18:48.754 --> 00:18:53.875 the books went over, over, over what we're thinking we can sell. 00:18:54.305 --> 00:18:59.835 So we found out those people like to know simple things, what we eat every 00:18:59.835 --> 00:19:02.224 day, but with the wild, wild meat. 00:19:02.224 --> 00:19:02.885 So that was a thing. 00:19:03.639 --> 00:19:04.479 So that was really good. 00:19:04.479 --> 00:19:05.659 The second one was the same. 00:19:05.669 --> 00:19:10.500 The second one was a little bit more over it, but, uh, the first and the second 00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:14.399 ones were, we're looking now to doing another one because there's a lot of guys 00:19:14.409 --> 00:19:19.019 asking for barbecue stuff, you know, to put on the barbecue, the wild, wild meat. 00:19:19.300 --> 00:19:23.194 So now we're looking maybe to doing a, with all the project we have, that's 00:19:23.194 --> 00:19:25.230 a new, new books maybe we want to do. 00:19:25.915 --> 00:19:26.575 Travis Bader: Very cool. 00:19:26.605 --> 00:19:26.745 Yeah. 00:19:26.745 --> 00:19:31.235 I just, uh, did a chat there with, uh, Jesse Griffiths from MeatEater 00:19:31.275 --> 00:19:37.295 who's got, um, uh, Dai Due in, uh, in Texas here in the Austin area. 00:19:37.295 --> 00:19:43.344 So he's, uh, doing the barbecue and so, so passionate about what he does and 00:19:43.354 --> 00:19:48.735 so down to earth, a really, uh, really cool individual actually, but, um, I'll 00:19:48.735 --> 00:19:54.004 get, uh, uh, I'll do an introduction for you and him when we, uh, You 00:19:54.004 --> 00:19:55.504 Stephane Monette: know, you know what is really, really important. 00:19:56.554 --> 00:20:02.185 Cool of what we do here on barbecue is bring maple syrup on everything. 00:20:02.235 --> 00:20:02.935 Oh, I love it. 00:20:02.935 --> 00:20:03.715 I love it. 00:20:03.715 --> 00:20:04.234 That's it. 00:20:04.234 --> 00:20:04.995 That's the point. 00:20:05.404 --> 00:20:09.704 So much recipe now we do with barbecue with maple syrup from in front of 00:20:09.705 --> 00:20:11.725 wild, but everything all together. 00:20:11.774 --> 00:20:13.275 Oh man, that's doing good. 00:20:13.284 --> 00:20:14.414 Good recipe is. 00:20:14.425 --> 00:20:15.965 So if you like a little bit sweet. 00:20:16.340 --> 00:20:17.450 That's really, really kind. 00:20:17.450 --> 00:20:19.370 And sometimes the meat are really strong. 00:20:19.690 --> 00:20:22.389 So bringing all those together is really, really nice. 00:20:22.450 --> 00:20:24.590 Travis Bader: So I guess the biggest problem with putting the maple 00:20:24.590 --> 00:20:28.540 syrup on would be that you increase the risk of those sugars burning. 00:20:28.550 --> 00:20:31.660 So you just have to change how you, uh, how you cook it. 00:20:32.150 --> 00:20:32.620 Stephane Monette: That's it. 00:20:32.630 --> 00:20:33.100 That's right. 00:20:33.130 --> 00:20:33.520 That's right. 00:20:33.679 --> 00:20:36.039 And it depending, you know, sometimes you're going to 00:20:36.129 --> 00:20:37.459 cook everything at the end. 00:20:37.459 --> 00:20:38.379 You're going to put some. 00:20:38.695 --> 00:20:44.065 Like a marinade at the base with maple syrup, or, you know, you're going to, to 00:20:44.065 --> 00:20:48.075 depend, but most, yeah, yeah, you have to, you have to take care of not burning, 00:20:48.105 --> 00:20:49.885 burning the syrup on, on the barbecue. 00:20:49.885 --> 00:20:51.635 So that's, that's the most interesting thing. 00:20:51.925 --> 00:20:53.775 Travis Bader: Oh, you should see, I have a problem. 00:20:53.814 --> 00:20:54.784 I have a sweet tooth. 00:20:54.824 --> 00:20:56.275 I know it's something I'm working on. 00:20:56.285 --> 00:21:03.565 My, uh, my wife's family has a, um, uh, sugar maples in Nova Scotia, uh, Swan. 00:21:04.764 --> 00:21:05.524 Stephane Monette: And so we've, 00:21:05.524 --> 00:21:11.235 Travis Bader: we've got cases and cases of those maple syrup, tin cans, the maple 00:21:11.235 --> 00:21:13.564 butter and the maple, uh, the heart. 00:21:13.565 --> 00:21:17.925 Yeah, it, it gets dangerous. 00:21:17.955 --> 00:21:18.344 It gets dangerous. 00:21:18.344 --> 00:21:18.684 Yeah, 00:21:18.685 --> 00:21:19.155 Stephane Monette: of course. 00:21:19.185 --> 00:21:23.064 And even when we go at age, we were going on at, we have 00:21:23.064 --> 00:21:24.425 to take care of that for sure. 00:21:24.705 --> 00:21:25.074 Travis Bader: Really? 00:21:25.074 --> 00:21:27.294 I think it's probably one of the people talk about fat. 00:21:27.314 --> 00:21:28.445 Oh, you got to eliminate fats. 00:21:28.445 --> 00:21:28.935 And they talk about carbs. 00:21:29.264 --> 00:21:31.495 I think sugar, sugar is one of those things that. 00:21:31.899 --> 00:21:36.899 Is like hugely, I, and I never realized that I was raised on sugar until I 00:21:36.899 --> 00:21:41.649 started to wean myself off and have a bit of a respectable relationship with it. 00:21:41.800 --> 00:21:41.929 The thing 00:21:41.929 --> 00:21:45.230 Stephane Monette: is, the thing is natural maple sugar. 00:21:45.624 --> 00:21:47.314 It's really, really good for us. 00:21:47.794 --> 00:21:48.544 So that's the thing. 00:21:48.654 --> 00:21:49.874 I don't want to say No, it's good. 00:21:50.355 --> 00:21:50.895 That's it. 00:21:51.065 --> 00:21:54.345 It's really, really different than the white sugar or something like that. 00:21:54.355 --> 00:21:58.395 The maple sugar, it's, it's really good for our, for our health. 00:21:58.395 --> 00:21:59.404 So that's really nice. 00:21:59.664 --> 00:22:00.514 Not so much. 00:22:00.544 --> 00:22:01.444 It's like everything. 00:22:01.735 --> 00:22:03.824 Don't put too much, but no seriously. 00:22:04.270 --> 00:22:06.410 It's a real good sugar to, uh, to use. 00:22:06.410 --> 00:22:08.080 So that's why we're like that. 00:22:08.080 --> 00:22:08.530 Me and you. 00:22:08.530 --> 00:22:10.820 So that's, that's the day you say yes. 00:22:12.430 --> 00:22:15.120 Travis Bader: So tell me, why were you down at shot? 00:22:15.180 --> 00:22:16.360 Let's talk about that. 00:22:16.820 --> 00:22:17.790 I want, what do you mean? 00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:19.930 Uh, shot show in, in Vegas. 00:22:19.939 --> 00:22:19.949 Oh, 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:21.299 Stephane Monette: why I was at the shot show. 00:22:21.320 --> 00:22:21.680 Yeah. 00:22:21.740 --> 00:22:24.490 Travis Bader: Um, it's because you've got a special relationship with 00:22:24.500 --> 00:22:25.909 some people that we know and love. 00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:26.490 Stephane Monette: Yes, yes. 00:22:26.560 --> 00:22:29.419 But the first thing was for Beretta because I'm the, um. 00:22:29.625 --> 00:22:36.015 I'm a ambassador for them for Canada for, so they use me a lot on the East side. 00:22:36.375 --> 00:22:39.855 So, um, and it's been six years now I'm with them. 00:22:40.265 --> 00:22:43.825 They send me all over, all over the world to, uh, to learn 00:22:43.915 --> 00:22:46.244 about Barreiras, Sako, Tika. 00:22:46.244 --> 00:22:49.195 Uh, I, I went in Sweden for Norma. 00:22:49.755 --> 00:22:55.475 Um, so from that every year's on the sales, because when, uh, they do, 00:22:55.475 --> 00:22:59.235 uh, the SHOT Show, they have a lot of customer from the East going up there. 00:22:59.575 --> 00:23:01.765 So I've, I have some, uh, help. 00:23:02.115 --> 00:23:06.495 They need me to help the sales guys for the customer on, on the products of 00:23:06.505 --> 00:23:08.765 Beretta, Sakotika, Norma, all those stuff. 00:23:08.765 --> 00:23:11.295 So that's why I go to the SHOT Show. 00:23:11.834 --> 00:23:14.635 Normally before that was for my own business. 00:23:15.605 --> 00:23:20.185 But now I'm going mostly for Beretta to go talk about the guns 00:23:20.185 --> 00:23:24.235 and the learning I have from them and the new products I used before. 00:23:24.615 --> 00:23:29.074 So how to use like this year the Tika Ace or all those guns I 00:23:29.104 --> 00:23:30.874 have the chance to try on before. 00:23:31.095 --> 00:23:32.245 So, uh, that was it. 00:23:32.255 --> 00:23:33.465 So that was a reason. 00:23:33.475 --> 00:23:36.535 And it's cool because now I know a lot of people all around the world. 00:23:36.785 --> 00:23:40.765 So the SHOT Show brings us, you know, when you know the guys from Steiner, 00:23:40.765 --> 00:23:43.815 the guys from Norma, all those guys. 00:23:43.825 --> 00:23:48.324 So that was, that's, that's a goal every year we make, uh, we'll make 00:23:48.324 --> 00:23:51.735 sure we're going to take a, but I don't drink, so we make a, we take a coffee 00:23:51.735 --> 00:23:56.445 together and like, like I met you, that was, that was one of the good, 00:23:56.445 --> 00:23:59.565 uh, the good, uh, Time we had together. 00:23:59.645 --> 00:24:00.425 Travis Bader: I agree. 00:24:00.455 --> 00:24:00.705 Yeah. 00:24:00.705 --> 00:24:02.035 That was a highlight of shot show. 00:24:02.465 --> 00:24:08.555 It was so, uh, Breda, you know, I've always loved my bread. 00:24:08.555 --> 00:24:14.405 As when I was a teenager, I purchased a, uh, a break action. 00:24:14.405 --> 00:24:15.524 I thought it was pretty nice. 00:24:15.534 --> 00:24:19.814 It was 800 and that was more money than I've ever spent on a gun before. 00:24:19.814 --> 00:24:22.205 But Hey, this is a nice over under Breda. 00:24:22.760 --> 00:24:24.340 I mean, it had some problems. 00:24:24.360 --> 00:24:26.510 It had a little bit of a bulge in the barrel. 00:24:26.540 --> 00:24:31.399 It, the barrel had been reblued before, um, the forest stock on 00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:34.630 it had a bit of a crack and I'm like, I can fix these things up. 00:24:34.630 --> 00:24:34.910 Right. 00:24:34.980 --> 00:24:35.529 Of course. 00:24:35.569 --> 00:24:36.210 Of course. 00:24:36.239 --> 00:24:37.860 So I'm like, okay, that's cool. 00:24:37.970 --> 00:24:40.959 And so I had this thing, I shot it for, for years. 00:24:40.959 --> 00:24:47.080 I, I just threw a nice butt pad on this thing and fix it up as best as I could. 00:24:47.080 --> 00:24:51.649 And I, um, Fix the bulge in the barrel and cleaned it up nicely because I 00:24:51.649 --> 00:24:55.510 was doing gunsmithing at the time and I was, it was really tight, right? 00:24:55.510 --> 00:25:00.169 So when I, uh, opened it up shooting my two and three quarter, seven and a 00:25:00.179 --> 00:25:05.750 half shot out shooting some trap and press the lever open and to break it 00:25:05.750 --> 00:25:11.460 open, I had to kind of like tap it on my knee and, uh, get it open anyways. 00:25:11.845 --> 00:25:14.975 Uh, there's a group of us are out shooting and one new guy, I don't 00:25:14.975 --> 00:25:17.695 know if I should say his name on here, but I've always remembered his name. 00:25:18.075 --> 00:25:20.725 I'll say, I'll say Greg N and we'll just leave it at that. 00:25:20.734 --> 00:25:24.315 This new guy who I've never met before comes up and he says, 00:25:24.474 --> 00:25:25.704 can I, can I join your group? 00:25:25.705 --> 00:25:26.764 I'd really like to shoot with you. 00:25:26.885 --> 00:25:27.984 Of course, not a problem. 00:25:27.984 --> 00:25:28.174 Right. 00:25:28.175 --> 00:25:28.784 Sounds good. 00:25:29.355 --> 00:25:32.874 And, um, then he says at one of the stations, Oh. 00:25:33.115 --> 00:25:34.764 Can I, can I see your shotgun? 00:25:34.774 --> 00:25:36.064 That's kind of a nice shotgun, right? 00:25:36.135 --> 00:25:37.165 I was like, yeah, no problem. 00:25:37.165 --> 00:25:40.475 Tell you what, I got to go up and change the clays in this one, uh, tower here. 00:25:40.764 --> 00:25:41.394 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:25:41.394 --> 00:25:42.304 And I'm up in the tower. 00:25:42.304 --> 00:25:43.235 I'm changing the clays. 00:25:43.264 --> 00:25:47.615 And one of my buddies, Pat says, Trav, Trav, your shotgun is broken. 00:25:48.065 --> 00:25:48.915 I'm like, what? 00:25:49.574 --> 00:25:53.835 And I come down and I'm looking at this thing and it's cracked 00:25:53.835 --> 00:25:55.345 right in half at the wrist. 00:25:56.044 --> 00:25:59.965 And the best I could figure was that this guy was watching me open 00:25:59.965 --> 00:26:02.004 it up and couldn't get it open. 00:26:02.004 --> 00:26:04.665 And he figured he had to like bend it over his knee. 00:26:06.065 --> 00:26:11.435 And so I'm like, and I look at this Greg guy and I say, what happened? 00:26:11.545 --> 00:26:13.595 And he was about to say something. 00:26:13.595 --> 00:26:15.255 And my other buddy is like, says, I don't know. 00:26:15.255 --> 00:26:16.255 We didn't see anything. 00:26:16.325 --> 00:26:17.705 And the second my buddy said that. 00:26:18.259 --> 00:26:19.330 This guy just shut his mouth. 00:26:19.340 --> 00:26:20.229 He's like, I don't know. 00:26:20.479 --> 00:26:23.229 So anyways, I got the shotgun and I'm going to, I'll throw a picture of it up 00:26:23.229 --> 00:26:25.009 on, on here for people who are watching. 00:26:25.320 --> 00:26:26.469 I'll have to remember that one. 00:26:27.269 --> 00:26:32.819 And, uh, I I've put a couple of steel pins in and I Acra glass it 00:26:32.819 --> 00:26:37.080 back together and you can see the break in there, but fair enough. 00:26:37.435 --> 00:26:39.885 I ended up selling it and I thought I did a pretty good job. 00:26:39.885 --> 00:26:41.335 I sold it for 800. 00:26:41.365 --> 00:26:42.915 I bought it for 800. 00:26:42.945 --> 00:26:46.034 I showed a picture of this to the guys at the Beretta booth. 00:26:47.534 --> 00:26:50.314 Because the guy who bought it, he says, I said, well, the barrel's been 00:26:50.315 --> 00:26:51.875 reblued and there's a crack back here. 00:26:51.875 --> 00:26:52.625 He's like, I don't care. 00:26:52.895 --> 00:26:55.055 I'm, I've already got it worked out with Beretta. 00:26:55.065 --> 00:26:56.764 All I wanted was the action. 00:26:56.895 --> 00:26:58.125 They're making new barrels. 00:26:58.165 --> 00:26:59.735 They're making a new stock for me. 00:27:00.105 --> 00:27:01.965 All I wanted was the action on this thing. 00:27:02.275 --> 00:27:04.455 The guys in the bread booth were shaking their head. 00:27:04.985 --> 00:27:08.724 They're kept referring me to the new people trying to find a price on this. 00:27:08.724 --> 00:27:12.275 So I'll put a picture of if anyone is into bread and they know what model this 00:27:12.275 --> 00:27:15.005 thing is, or how much money I lost myself, 00:27:15.005 --> 00:27:18.284 Stephane Monette: let 00:27:18.285 --> 00:27:19.019 Travis Bader: me know. 00:27:20.290 --> 00:27:20.740 Stephane Monette: That's right. 00:27:20.760 --> 00:27:21.420 Let me know. 00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:21.970 That's right. 00:27:22.260 --> 00:27:22.669 Travis Bader: Man. 00:27:23.300 --> 00:27:25.350 So, uh, yeah, you were down there with Baretta. 00:27:25.370 --> 00:27:27.690 You were there on Sunday for the Baretta day. 00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:28.160 Stephane Monette: Yep. 00:27:28.329 --> 00:27:28.469 Yep. 00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:28.680 Yep. 00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:28.810 Yeah. 00:27:29.199 --> 00:27:29.860 I was there. 00:27:29.909 --> 00:27:30.500 I was there. 00:27:30.500 --> 00:27:33.219 I think I'm not really good on time. 00:27:33.219 --> 00:27:33.479 Okay. 00:27:33.479 --> 00:27:37.270 But I was there today before the shot show opens because I 00:27:37.290 --> 00:27:39.199 had to go to the shooting range. 00:27:39.199 --> 00:27:42.254 So I went to the shooting range of Baretta. 00:27:43.044 --> 00:27:46.704 So that's where we found out the new model just before, because you have 00:27:46.704 --> 00:27:49.184 to know, I, American drive the show. 00:27:49.194 --> 00:27:52.234 So we have to think about that from difference from Canada. 00:27:52.724 --> 00:27:57.844 So sometimes we know there's models it's going to come by, but if 00:27:57.844 --> 00:28:01.804 Americans say, no, we don't want it, we don't have it yet in Canada. 00:28:02.344 --> 00:28:04.454 So when we go to the shooting range. 00:28:04.805 --> 00:28:09.354 We're allowed to know what's guns going to be present to the Churchill. 00:28:09.355 --> 00:28:16.015 So that's why we go up there and we, uh, we, we look on everything and we can 00:28:16.015 --> 00:28:20.574 try on everything and see which you see for myself, that was the ACE, the ACE 00:28:20.575 --> 00:28:23.224 one of the TICA ACE, that was a major. 00:28:23.705 --> 00:28:27.524 Things I have to look at it to make sure everything was fine, and I look 00:28:27.524 --> 00:28:32.294 for, um, the new, uh, You know, the BRX coming, uh, was coming two years ago. 00:28:32.685 --> 00:28:35.534 So I was looking for the new models because they were supposing 00:28:35.534 --> 00:28:38.674 to have someone, some new model, but it was not there yet. 00:28:39.014 --> 00:28:44.554 So, uh, we have to figure it out at the end of this, the winter, which gun's gonna 00:28:44.554 --> 00:28:46.854 go out and we're gonna get it in Canada. 00:28:46.854 --> 00:28:48.654 So we'll have to find out after that. 00:28:48.945 --> 00:28:53.035 But a lot of things are, I see a lot of things when I went in Italy 00:28:53.835 --> 00:28:56.165 and, uh, it's not coming yet. 00:28:56.795 --> 00:29:01.374 Ah, yeah, if I say something, when I'm going to go again 00:29:01.374 --> 00:29:02.695 in Italy, I don't come back. 00:29:02.975 --> 00:29:06.815 So I don't know if I can say that, but the thing is, you know, there's so 00:29:06.815 --> 00:29:10.295 much, so much research on everything. 00:29:10.295 --> 00:29:15.935 One thing I can tell you, okay, when I went there the first time, um, In, in 00:29:15.935 --> 00:29:19.574 the same year, I went two time in Italy, the first time was to see everything, 00:29:19.935 --> 00:29:23.545 you know, the, the warehouse, uh, the production and everything, but after 00:29:23.545 --> 00:29:26.585 that, they tell me, if you want to go again, we're going to, we're going 00:29:26.585 --> 00:29:32.154 to give you a special, uh, formation for a course for, uh, the DT11. 00:29:32.194 --> 00:29:36.205 So if you know what is the DT11 is the gun to the Olympics. 00:29:36.205 --> 00:29:36.465 Okay. 00:29:36.465 --> 00:29:39.215 He's the perfect over under, uh, shotgun. 00:29:40.065 --> 00:29:44.915 So, um, so I went the first time was in, uh, May. 00:29:45.575 --> 00:29:48.895 And they shipped me back in August, August, September, something like that. 00:29:49.555 --> 00:29:52.815 And when I went in September and I went in a warehouse. 00:29:53.595 --> 00:30:00.455 It's really huge and there's some, uh, some shells on wheels and there was a 00:30:00.595 --> 00:30:07.515 tons, tons, tons, tons of, of that kind of stuff with a barrel of nine millimeters. 00:30:07.835 --> 00:30:12.375 I would say there was a hundred thousand barrel of nine millimeters was made. 00:30:13.445 --> 00:30:15.195 I said, what happened? 00:30:15.195 --> 00:30:17.505 You think, I said, Oh, maybe a war is going to come. 00:30:17.975 --> 00:30:20.775 And we're a year after that Ukraine. 00:30:21.145 --> 00:30:24.815 And you see the word we have now with the Russian, the Russian in 00:30:24.945 --> 00:30:29.775 Ukraine just started, but those guys know exactly when they're going 00:30:29.775 --> 00:30:31.105 to, something's going to happen. 00:30:31.560 --> 00:30:34.640 Prepare the cells for those guns was going to be there. 00:30:34.780 --> 00:30:39.830 So, so you see, same thing with, um, with, um, Norma. 00:30:40.550 --> 00:30:45.530 There's so much bullet going out, going out when I went there, that was crazy. 00:30:45.570 --> 00:30:48.440 There was, I was at the peak of the Ukraine war at that time. 00:30:48.780 --> 00:30:49.670 That was amazing. 00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:51.450 The bullet was going out for the war. 00:30:51.450 --> 00:30:54.920 So, so there's a lot of things you see up there when you go, you see in 00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:56.830 the warehouse, stuff like that, but. 00:30:57.125 --> 00:30:59.405 Or the guns, can I say something? 00:30:59.495 --> 00:31:01.265 Uh, I don't remember. 00:31:04.125 --> 00:31:04.635 Travis Bader: I don't remember. 00:31:04.635 --> 00:31:05.705 Excellent, excellent. 00:31:07.105 --> 00:31:11.105 Yeah, the production of the firearms prior to the war. 00:31:11.125 --> 00:31:12.754 Si vis pacem parabellum. 00:31:12.755 --> 00:31:14.835 The Latin, if you want peace, prepare for war. 00:31:15.455 --> 00:31:15.855 Yeah, 00:31:16.145 --> 00:31:16.505 Stephane Monette: yeah. 00:31:16.605 --> 00:31:18.235 And it's amazing, you know. 00:31:18.945 --> 00:31:23.075 Hunting is one thing, shooting, uh, uh, you know, uh, passion shooting is 00:31:23.075 --> 00:31:27.585 one thing, but when you see all those things going all around with the war, 00:31:27.655 --> 00:31:30.395 it's really, really huge, amazing. 00:31:30.755 --> 00:31:32.825 What is the, the money going in there? 00:31:33.105 --> 00:31:35.865 Just, just look what happened now with the United States. 00:31:35.865 --> 00:31:38.915 You see with all what Trump want to put in the money and 00:31:38.915 --> 00:31:40.325 their army and stuff like that. 00:31:40.325 --> 00:31:40.535 So. 00:31:41.585 --> 00:31:45.245 We know business of hunting and shooting, you know, for fun. 00:31:45.245 --> 00:31:48.215 It's a thing, but major stuff, it's really war. 00:31:48.235 --> 00:31:49.285 We cannot pass over it. 00:31:49.585 --> 00:31:51.695 It's war controlling a lot of things like that. 00:31:51.695 --> 00:31:55.795 So we find out when we will see those, uh, those warehouse and manufacture. 00:31:56.495 --> 00:32:00.505 Travis Bader: So tell me about Anjos, what was, yeah, what 00:32:00.505 --> 00:32:02.705 was the, uh, impetus for that? 00:32:02.825 --> 00:32:04.495 Tell me what it's done for you. 00:32:05.565 --> 00:32:06.825 The thing is, we're going to say 00:32:06.895 --> 00:32:08.655 Stephane Monette: let's talk, okay. 00:32:08.655 --> 00:32:12.605 Because it's a translation from the French to the English. 00:32:12.605 --> 00:32:14.645 So it's, let's talk in French. 00:32:14.645 --> 00:32:15.975 We don't say Anjos. 00:32:16.355 --> 00:32:16.735 Okay. 00:32:16.735 --> 00:32:18.285 It's, uh, let's talk together. 00:32:18.285 --> 00:32:19.775 You know, that's what it means. 00:32:20.005 --> 00:32:20.075 Okay. 00:32:20.125 --> 00:32:24.945 But, um, you see when the COVID start, I have a small 00:32:25.265 --> 00:32:27.225 followers, people following me. 00:32:27.635 --> 00:32:32.225 Um, on my, on my social media, like Facebook, Instagram, and stuff like that. 00:32:32.465 --> 00:32:34.725 I was more Facebook, and I'm still more Facebook. 00:32:35.305 --> 00:32:40.295 Um, but at that time You know, I could not do nothing, the barn, you know, 00:32:40.295 --> 00:32:44.065 at the farm, there was fine, but we could not ship nothing in a store. 00:32:44.305 --> 00:32:48.265 So we get maybe six months, nothing, nothing, we could not do nothing. 00:32:49.035 --> 00:32:51.885 So I said, well, I could, you know, guys like us sitting on 00:32:51.885 --> 00:32:55.065 a table looking at outside, I said, no, I have to do something. 00:32:55.165 --> 00:32:59.975 So I just, I just start every morning talking with, with my followers. 00:32:59.995 --> 00:33:01.565 Say, hey, good morning, guys. 00:33:01.865 --> 00:33:04.425 This morning, um, I'm going at the barn. 00:33:04.435 --> 00:33:04.925 We're gonna. 00:33:06.765 --> 00:33:10.375 We're going to put you some picture and just starting about the passion starts. 00:33:11.085 --> 00:33:15.925 Let's talk about hunting, fishing, the way of living, experience we have 00:33:15.985 --> 00:33:20.255 following the season, because the thing is with Angers, let's talk, 00:33:20.255 --> 00:33:22.065 it's the following of the season. 00:33:22.355 --> 00:33:25.845 So every day, what happened up there, taking the snowmobile at this time of 00:33:25.845 --> 00:33:29.554 the year, and after that, taking the ATV to go geese hunting, or after that. 00:33:29.765 --> 00:33:31.145 Moves on thing and stuff like that. 00:33:31.795 --> 00:33:39.155 So I just started that and the increase of the follower was jumping like amazingly. 00:33:39.815 --> 00:33:44.765 And the thing is those follower are really, really connecting with my. 00:33:45.980 --> 00:33:49.240 They really like the way I talk about my lifestyle, the 00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:50.670 lifestyle we have in the family. 00:33:51.390 --> 00:33:55.890 I present my son, present my wife on the, on the, the, the show and everything. 00:33:55.900 --> 00:33:59.150 And it's like, like this, you know, I'm in my kitchen now and 00:33:59.180 --> 00:34:00.690 I start everything in my kitchen. 00:34:01.230 --> 00:34:04.270 And I tried to do a studio and people said, no, no, no, no, no. 00:34:04.270 --> 00:34:05.280 You stay in the kitchen. 00:34:05.280 --> 00:34:08.465 That's what we like when you see your wife passing and everything passing. 00:34:08.465 --> 00:34:09.730 So it's really. 00:34:10.030 --> 00:34:13.260 Life, what you see is what you get. 00:34:13.270 --> 00:34:13.980 It's like that. 00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:16.090 So I started that. 00:34:17.300 --> 00:34:20.260 My business was growing like I could not believe it. 00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:26.275 And, um, After, I would say, five years now, I do a show every 00:34:26.275 --> 00:34:30.405 morning, 30 minutes, talking with my audience, talking with my followers. 00:34:30.995 --> 00:34:34.375 The only thing we changed is last year, you know, with all the 00:34:34.375 --> 00:34:36.475 social media talking about guns. 00:34:37.175 --> 00:34:40.405 They, uh, they cut off, you know, they, they cut us because if we 00:34:40.455 --> 00:34:43.645 talk too much gun, they, on live, they shut off the, the, the channel. 00:34:43.915 --> 00:34:44.295 Travis Bader: Interesting. 00:34:44.305 --> 00:34:44.485 So, 00:34:45.165 --> 00:34:48.365 Stephane Monette: I made my own My own on jaws. 00:34:48.395 --> 00:34:51.945 Let's talk a website where we every day. 00:34:51.945 --> 00:34:52.985 We're on this one, too. 00:34:52.985 --> 00:34:56.415 So we we are on Let's talk every morning. 00:34:56.415 --> 00:34:59.685 Facebook, Instagram, uh, YouTube, all those. 00:34:59.835 --> 00:35:04.395 But when I talk guns and they cut me while we're still live on the platform. 00:35:04.395 --> 00:35:06.285 So that's why it's so nice and so cool. 00:35:06.675 --> 00:35:08.115 So that was it. 00:35:08.175 --> 00:35:09.585 That was five years. 00:35:10.455 --> 00:35:15.085 1,775 show back to back. 00:35:15.085 --> 00:35:15.145 Wow. 00:35:15.235 --> 00:35:17.485 30 minute, 30 minutes every day. 00:35:17.575 --> 00:35:17.785 Yeah. 00:35:17.785 --> 00:35:18.120 That's, do you 00:35:18.120 --> 00:35:19.675 Travis Bader: still, do you still get cut if you're talking 00:35:19.675 --> 00:35:21.445 about guns on Facebook time? 00:35:21.765 --> 00:35:22.025 Really? 00:35:22.025 --> 00:35:25.365 Because Zuckerberg came out and said, Oh, we're going to change how we do 00:35:25.365 --> 00:35:26.435 things, but it's still happening. 00:35:26.435 --> 00:35:26.675 Is it? 00:35:27.265 --> 00:35:27.825 Stephane Monette: Yeah, yeah. 00:35:27.865 --> 00:35:34.055 If, the thing is, because if you are live, because every morning I'm live, mostly, I 00:35:34.055 --> 00:35:36.535 would say 90 percent of the time I'm live. 00:35:36.995 --> 00:35:40.585 The 10 percent is when even I'm in Saskatchewan or really 00:35:40.585 --> 00:35:41.655 far or something like that. 00:35:41.685 --> 00:35:43.825 I do a video every day. 00:35:44.345 --> 00:35:47.895 But I drop it and the, you know, the followers can see it on 00:35:47.895 --> 00:35:49.245 every day what happened up there. 00:35:49.585 --> 00:35:54.825 But, um, if you do something live and you show a gun, they cut you. 00:35:55.305 --> 00:35:55.905 Mmm. 00:35:56.275 --> 00:36:00.635 So that, that's why, you know, now, because I'm, I'm doing a live every day. 00:36:00.635 --> 00:36:04.005 So if I want to talk about Tikka, Sakko, something like that, and if 00:36:04.055 --> 00:36:06.215 I shoot a gun, they cut me right on. 00:36:06.225 --> 00:36:10.425 Because the, I don't know why, maybe it's the algorithms, uh, can I say that? 00:36:10.825 --> 00:36:14.505 Computers, yeah, they, they cut straight, straightly. 00:36:15.065 --> 00:36:17.495 You know what happened last, the last one I was cut? 00:36:17.715 --> 00:36:18.005 No. 00:36:18.485 --> 00:36:19.945 I was talking politics. 00:36:20.550 --> 00:36:21.640 Are you kidding me? 00:36:22.060 --> 00:36:25.990 Yeah, they shut down, they shut down the show because I was talking 00:36:26.290 --> 00:36:30.000 politics and they cut me out. 00:36:30.190 --> 00:36:31.250 This one I didn't know. 00:36:31.490 --> 00:36:32.360 This one I didn't know. 00:36:32.600 --> 00:36:37.250 Travis Bader: It's really interesting looking at Canada's Political news 00:36:37.250 --> 00:36:41.770 coverage when you're outside of Canada and you see what other people are saying 00:36:41.770 --> 00:36:47.520 and what their perspective is and how insulated and highly contrived and 00:36:47.520 --> 00:36:50.270 controlled our media is here in Canada. 00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:54.520 I mean, that's, I think that's one of the big reasons that Tik TOK came under fire. 00:36:54.520 --> 00:36:57.500 It had nothing to do with the, it was just, how do we control 00:36:57.530 --> 00:36:59.840 messaging and media that the people are going to be able to get? 00:37:00.210 --> 00:37:04.100 There's a, uh, there's a, what's the account? 00:37:04.505 --> 00:37:07.215 Blender, I think it is B L E N D R 00:37:08.005 --> 00:37:08.245 Stephane Monette: they're, 00:37:08.305 --> 00:37:10.415 Travis Bader: they're on Tik TOK and they're constantly talking 00:37:10.415 --> 00:37:13.625 about Canadian politics and they're, they're highly critical of a lot of 00:37:13.625 --> 00:37:14.995 things that are happening right now. 00:37:15.205 --> 00:37:19.795 You try and find that on Instagram or Facebook within Canada. 00:37:20.375 --> 00:37:22.165 No, it says this account's blocked. 00:37:22.485 --> 00:37:24.029 In fact, social media is just. 00:37:25.250 --> 00:37:25.480 Stephane Monette: Yeah. 00:37:25.580 --> 00:37:26.660 I tell you a story. 00:37:26.660 --> 00:37:27.000 Okay. 00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.930 I have a show every, uh, every, uh, every day. 00:37:30.100 --> 00:37:30.860 I'm not every day. 00:37:30.930 --> 00:37:35.770 Once, once a week in a radio station in Quebec city, they 00:37:35.770 --> 00:37:37.650 are really on the right side. 00:37:37.790 --> 00:37:38.090 Okay. 00:37:38.090 --> 00:37:38.700 I would say that. 00:37:39.430 --> 00:37:45.180 And, um, I went to the show live directly to the, to the studio. 00:37:45.830 --> 00:37:47.170 And there's a guy up there. 00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:49.650 He was doing a chronic, a chronic, like I do. 00:37:50.660 --> 00:37:53.680 And when he go out, he said, I know your voice. 00:37:53.860 --> 00:37:59.140 I said, oh, oh, you know my voice, you know, maybe, maybe of something what I do. 00:37:59.140 --> 00:37:59.570 He said, no. 00:38:00.460 --> 00:38:06.240 People working for me have a contract on you, contract on me, what do you mean? 00:38:06.330 --> 00:38:07.200 Yeah, that's it. 00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:13.010 If you have a contract on me, tell me what I have to do, you know, it 00:38:13.010 --> 00:38:20.740 says no, because I'm a specializing business on social media listener. 00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:28.070 So government people are hired me to listen to what happens. 00:38:29.210 --> 00:38:33.470 Put that in, in, um, whatever you're going to say and transmit 00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:36.870 that to government or people want to know what you're going to say. 00:38:36.890 --> 00:38:37.840 I say, no way. 00:38:38.310 --> 00:38:38.880 Say, yeah. 00:38:38.970 --> 00:38:41.320 So we have people listening to you every morning. 00:38:41.830 --> 00:38:46.390 See what you tell, ship that to, I don't know who, Varmany, don't 00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:49.550 tell me who, to know what you're going to say, how you're going to 00:38:49.550 --> 00:38:51.050 make it, how you're going to do it. 00:38:51.050 --> 00:38:52.469 So, 00:38:53.150 --> 00:38:53.660 Travis Bader: crazy, 00:38:53.710 --> 00:38:53.900 Stephane Monette: eh? 00:38:53.900 --> 00:38:54.116 Crazy. 00:38:54.116 --> 00:38:55.060 That is really crazy. 00:38:55.100 --> 00:38:56.360 In a country like we have. 00:38:56.940 --> 00:38:57.170 Travis Bader: Yep. 00:38:57.540 --> 00:38:57.760 Yep. 00:38:57.790 --> 00:39:02.950 I remember years ago, Um, here's, there's a website, Canadian gun nuts. 00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:09.340 Um, and when it was kind of first getting rolling and I was reading 00:39:09.340 --> 00:39:14.650 through disclosure documents that were, had email correspondence between 00:39:14.660 --> 00:39:16.700 firearms officers and other people. 00:39:16.700 --> 00:39:19.610 And they're, they're like, Oh, have you guys ever heard of this website? 00:39:19.610 --> 00:39:20.920 Like what's going on over here? 00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:24.640 And like, Oh, so and so they give the name, this guy has access to it. 00:39:24.640 --> 00:39:26.460 And he's the one who's been monitoring it. 00:39:26.980 --> 00:39:31.130 And it was interesting just looking, you know, human nature is human nature, 00:39:31.130 --> 00:39:35.890 but the comments going back and forth were, Oh, I just read this thread. 00:39:35.910 --> 00:39:39.790 You can just visualize these guys sitting in their mother's basement, 00:39:40.020 --> 00:39:42.610 uh, crying about all the guns that they're not allowed to have. 00:39:42.640 --> 00:39:47.110 And there's, there's this real us against them kind of, uh, mentality that's going 00:39:47.110 --> 00:39:53.070 on and there's a fear of what people may be saying or what people may be doing. 00:39:53.110 --> 00:39:56.610 And that, and that was, that was going back a long time. 00:39:56.915 --> 00:40:00.005 When did you get this information about the contract? 00:40:00.025 --> 00:40:01.224 That 00:40:01.705 --> 00:40:03.115 Stephane Monette: was a guy just in front of me. 00:40:03.355 --> 00:40:06.425 So when I, off record after that, I talked with the guy. 00:40:06.435 --> 00:40:09.945 I said, explain me more, but he says, you know, that's normal. 00:40:09.955 --> 00:40:14.825 Now there are some business like I have, we use I, Hey, you know, 00:40:14.825 --> 00:40:17.075 intelligence, artificial intelligence. 00:40:17.505 --> 00:40:20.975 And, uh, when you say something on your podcast, we're going to 00:40:20.995 --> 00:40:23.145 put, we put this, we take out. 00:40:23.455 --> 00:40:28.395 When you say something, maybe I'm not wrong because what you see it, what you 00:40:28.395 --> 00:40:32.405 get, it's really simple and, and I think I'm a good father, you know, so, but 00:40:32.405 --> 00:40:38.335 sometimes if I see something on government and, and I just, I just tell the truth 00:40:38.335 --> 00:40:42.405 and that's how it is, but it's shaking some hands, shaking, not some hands, 00:40:42.455 --> 00:40:48.635 but some, uh, some has, I would say, and those guys don't love, and, and, and 00:40:48.635 --> 00:40:56.075 you have to know in Quebec, It's, from the last three years, hunters are more 00:40:56.105 --> 00:40:59.635 involved about, uh, you know, the deer. 00:40:59.885 --> 00:41:01.595 Uh, they know, uh, management. 00:41:01.895 --> 00:41:05.205 Uh, and it takes a long time on the east side because the, 00:41:05.225 --> 00:41:06.725 the language is really hard. 00:41:06.725 --> 00:41:07.905 You know, French to English. 00:41:08.145 --> 00:41:10.364 So, so now we have more. 00:41:10.485 --> 00:41:15.075 More guys translating the stuff we get from quality deer management, 00:41:15.085 --> 00:41:17.015 uh, whatever, whatever it is. 00:41:17.085 --> 00:41:17.395 Hmm. 00:41:17.715 --> 00:41:22.095 And now when government says the law this year for hunting is going to 00:41:22.095 --> 00:41:23.785 be this and this and this and this. 00:41:24.395 --> 00:41:27.715 But those guys have now the information from the states, 00:41:27.725 --> 00:41:29.675 from Canada, even whatever it is. 00:41:30.175 --> 00:41:34.165 And they don't agree, so they have, they have information. 00:41:34.645 --> 00:41:36.435 And that never happened before. 00:41:36.575 --> 00:41:36.855 Hmm. 00:41:36.875 --> 00:41:39.385 From the last two, four, three to four years. 00:41:39.895 --> 00:41:40.665 From that. 00:41:41.035 --> 00:41:46.655 We found out all those guys in government don't really enjoying what we're saying. 00:41:46.925 --> 00:41:50.165 So more and more I can say that I'm on the black list. 00:41:50.165 --> 00:41:50.255 Sure. 00:41:50.375 --> 00:41:53.225 If I go on the government, I'm on the black list for sure. 00:41:53.225 --> 00:41:57.845 If they know my name and if I go like a supper or something like that, 00:41:57.845 --> 00:41:59.435 you know where all those guys are. 00:41:59.735 --> 00:42:00.245 Travis Bader: Nobody 00:42:00.245 --> 00:42:01.145 Stephane Monette: want to talk with me. 00:42:01.265 --> 00:42:02.255 Nobody want to talk. 00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:03.305 They, they just, 00:42:04.325 --> 00:42:04.850 Travis Bader: that's how it is. 00:42:04.850 --> 00:42:09.055 Does it, does it make you more cautious about what you say when 00:42:09.055 --> 00:42:10.735 you're, when you're broadcasting? 00:42:11.435 --> 00:42:11.455 You 00:42:12.955 --> 00:42:15.575 Stephane Monette: see, I don't think I do, I do wrong things. 00:42:15.665 --> 00:42:20.985 I just, I just talk about what is real living on a farm. 00:42:22.695 --> 00:42:24.255 I always have a gun with me. 00:42:24.545 --> 00:42:25.375 That's how it is. 00:42:25.505 --> 00:42:27.085 I see coyotes. 00:42:27.285 --> 00:42:28.415 I see wolf. 00:42:28.505 --> 00:42:29.315 I see bear. 00:42:29.575 --> 00:42:36.010 Even if one of my deer I have a broken leg, I'm stuck in the, whatever, I have 00:42:36.010 --> 00:42:44.100 to use my guns, so guns here are like a spoon for kitchen, you see, but, it's, 00:42:44.170 --> 00:42:46.410 you see in Quebec, it's not really. 00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:47.580 Normal. 00:42:47.730 --> 00:42:50.800 I would say that you see, we don't have any grizzly. 00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:54.040 We don't have any, uh, um, uh, mountain lion. 00:42:54.370 --> 00:42:58.270 So we don't, we just have the black bears and they are normally 00:42:58.270 --> 00:43:00.450 really high hand of the province. 00:43:00.890 --> 00:43:03.780 So those things, and we don't have a lot of people living there. 00:43:04.140 --> 00:43:05.344 So we don't have really. 00:43:05.845 --> 00:43:09.285 Dangerous game, even if you are on the woods every day, because 00:43:09.285 --> 00:43:12.755 myself, I've been attacked one time, two times with, uh, by bears. 00:43:13.055 --> 00:43:17.165 I've been attacked, uh, by a crowd of, uh, coyotes. 00:43:17.345 --> 00:43:19.505 So, but we're always having guns. 00:43:19.665 --> 00:43:22.225 So when you're talking about that, you love guns. 00:43:22.540 --> 00:43:23.390 It's a tool. 00:43:23.660 --> 00:43:25.890 It's something you like to use. 00:43:26.330 --> 00:43:31.330 Those guys, when you're talking about that, and even if I talk the way of life, 00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:38.230 uh, with my sons, or I, uh, I treat my sons, uh, you know, the respect, family 00:43:38.230 --> 00:43:42.860 stuff and everything, sometimes it don't go on the, on the side they want. 00:43:43.240 --> 00:43:45.160 So that's the reason, but I don't change nothing. 00:43:45.540 --> 00:43:49.450 Maybe I'll be, um, I don't swear. 00:43:49.540 --> 00:43:50.670 I don't swear anymore. 00:43:51.010 --> 00:43:51.330 Okay. 00:43:51.370 --> 00:43:52.410 That's the only thing I don't do. 00:43:52.420 --> 00:43:52.680 Why? 00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:56.830 You know, from, because what I found out is when I have, I didn't 00:43:56.830 --> 00:44:02.000 know, you see this, this things, you, you know, we're talking, okay. 00:44:02.060 --> 00:44:06.400 The camera, sometimes you don't think who's looking at you. 00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:10.540 And, and when I found out there's sometime a dad sitting with his 00:44:10.540 --> 00:44:13.940 child looking at what Stefan says. 00:44:14.590 --> 00:44:20.095 So I said, okay, from, if I be a good father, Swearing is not a good thing 00:44:20.095 --> 00:44:26.665 sometimes, I, I can say one time and I advise, take the child out, I'm gonna 00:44:26.665 --> 00:44:31.055 say something, you know, but, but the thing is, I just, that's the only thing 00:44:31.055 --> 00:44:35.545 I, I, I try to be really good, but for the rest, my opinion is my opinion, 00:44:35.795 --> 00:44:38.535 whatever I'm gonna say, whatever, you see. 00:44:39.090 --> 00:44:43.950 Here, if we're talking about handguns, it's critical. 00:44:43.970 --> 00:44:45.400 It's really, really bad. 00:44:45.410 --> 00:44:46.250 Nobody knows. 00:44:46.520 --> 00:44:51.190 You see, for myself, having handguns, it's really normal when you know how it works. 00:44:51.270 --> 00:44:51.590 Sure. 00:44:51.650 --> 00:44:55.065 You know When you know how it works, 00:44:55.125 --> 00:44:55.355 Travis Bader: it's 00:44:55.595 --> 00:44:57.935 Stephane Monette: really easy to, you see, so that's how it is. 00:44:58.575 --> 00:45:01.245 Travis Bader: The idea that handguns are bad is always baffled me. 00:45:01.265 --> 00:45:06.405 So what we have something that's less powerful and it'll reach less of a 00:45:06.405 --> 00:45:08.795 distance, it won't go as far as a rifle. 00:45:09.225 --> 00:45:12.425 And that's going to be the big, bad thing because what it's small. 00:45:12.945 --> 00:45:15.755 I mean, it's always going to maybe scratch my head. 00:45:17.230 --> 00:45:18.910 Stephane Monette: That's baby scratch. 00:45:18.920 --> 00:45:19.390 I love it. 00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:21.060 I love it. 00:45:21.260 --> 00:45:22.530 But the thing is like that. 00:45:22.530 --> 00:45:24.220 So, you know, I don't change. 00:45:24.310 --> 00:45:29.190 I don't change the way I think I really, I'm really simple. 00:45:29.410 --> 00:45:33.080 But if I have to tell you it's a baby scratch, it's a baby scratch. 00:45:33.110 --> 00:45:35.540 That's, that's the only thing, you know, that's, that's how it is. 00:45:35.780 --> 00:45:36.910 So you 00:45:36.910 --> 00:45:39.220 Travis Bader: say, you know, you're on a blacklist. 00:45:39.640 --> 00:45:39.830 Yeah. 00:45:39.870 --> 00:45:40.840 I found. 00:45:41.175 --> 00:45:44.425 That the opposite is kind of true for me. 00:45:44.425 --> 00:45:47.895 You know, they're saying an armed society is a polite society, right? 00:45:48.375 --> 00:45:55.465 Well, Stefan, you've got a voice now, the fact that you have a voice and people 00:45:55.465 --> 00:45:58.575 are listening and you've got something to say, and so many people are listening to 00:45:58.575 --> 00:46:02.075 the government's actually contractually listening to what you're doing. 00:46:02.915 --> 00:46:10.255 Um, it tends to keep people in check who might otherwise, uh, not be held in check. 00:46:10.285 --> 00:46:15.985 So my experience of having a podcast is that it offers a great deal 00:46:15.985 --> 00:46:17.825 of protection for an individual. 00:46:18.035 --> 00:46:21.325 You have to be cautious about things that you say and how you say it, which is like 00:46:21.325 --> 00:46:23.565 you, I don't, I do my best not to swear. 00:46:24.265 --> 00:46:26.355 Stephane Monette: You know, we're always being good fathers. 00:46:26.355 --> 00:46:27.475 That's, that's the way I think. 00:46:27.485 --> 00:46:29.055 That's the way I, I did it, you 00:46:29.055 --> 00:46:29.235 Travis Bader: know? 00:46:29.265 --> 00:46:29.685 Yes. 00:46:30.560 --> 00:46:34.020 Um, I always try to be positive in what we talk about. 00:46:34.260 --> 00:46:36.670 If it's going to be a negative subject to try and find some 00:46:36.670 --> 00:46:40.290 positive spin or resolution, otherwise, we're just complaining. 00:46:40.290 --> 00:46:42.030 And that's a very little value to me. 00:46:42.350 --> 00:46:45.240 Stephane Monette: And we're not, I'm not, I'm not that kind of guy. 00:46:45.240 --> 00:46:49.260 You know, I always see the good things on whatever the subject it is. 00:46:49.260 --> 00:46:51.830 You know, I don't want to go on the dark side. 00:46:51.830 --> 00:46:54.770 You know, I always think, I think it's business. 00:46:54.770 --> 00:46:57.810 Bring that, that knowledge, you know, you have to find out. 00:46:58.560 --> 00:47:02.540 If there's a problem, there's a way to succeed with that. 00:47:02.550 --> 00:47:04.780 So maybe it's the entrepreneur or something like that. 00:47:04.780 --> 00:47:05.460 Bring me on that. 00:47:05.460 --> 00:47:06.550 But you're right. 00:47:06.580 --> 00:47:07.410 That's, that's how it is. 00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:11.060 Travis Bader: Well, I found that, um, you know, cause I've, I'm 00:47:11.060 --> 00:47:12.290 a licensed firearms business. 00:47:12.290 --> 00:47:16.790 I have a licensed firearms business as well, and licensed firearms owner. 00:47:17.270 --> 00:47:23.390 And I've got to the right of me here, a framed apology letter from the RCMP from 00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:28.965 and from the Canadian firearms program for The, uh, the missteps that they made 00:47:28.965 --> 00:47:32.715 a number of years ago where people were getting a little overly ambitious in 00:47:32.715 --> 00:47:37.035 their role and trying to circumscribe businesses that would be competitive 00:47:37.035 --> 00:47:40.845 to their own and doing things that were highly illegal and highly unethical. 00:47:41.500 --> 00:47:45.910 Having a voice all of a sudden keeps those people in check, the 00:47:45.910 --> 00:47:49.650 people who would try and abuse their power and abuse their position. 00:47:50.040 --> 00:47:54.690 So I found that to be an effective tool to be able to disseminate information, 00:47:54.690 --> 00:47:57.460 but also to offer layers of protection. 00:47:58.720 --> 00:48:03.000 Um, so it might be another way of looking at this, of what you have there. 00:48:03.430 --> 00:48:04.000 No, no, that's 00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:04.570 Stephane Monette: how it is. 00:48:04.850 --> 00:48:09.005 The thing is, what I found out is, Talking in front of the camera 00:48:09.005 --> 00:48:11.275 or the, the mics is one thing. 00:48:11.655 --> 00:48:13.585 So now what I use is. 00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:21.790 Using all those people who they, they, um, they are followers, numbers of followers 00:48:22.110 --> 00:48:25.100 and try to negotiating on the back. 00:48:25.620 --> 00:48:30.110 Tell them, listen, we have over 200, 000 people following us. 00:48:30.350 --> 00:48:32.790 Um, they want that and that and that. 00:48:33.120 --> 00:48:35.270 And can we talk about that? 00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:36.630 I don't want to go on their side. 00:48:36.670 --> 00:48:38.600 I'm going to say to everybody, you're not a good guy. 00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:40.400 That's not how I want to do. 00:48:41.615 --> 00:48:46.355 All those people on the back of us and they, they push out on the front and 00:48:46.355 --> 00:48:50.385 say, can you go talk with them now? 00:48:50.725 --> 00:48:52.195 I, I, I see it. 00:48:52.285 --> 00:48:56.735 They understand more about, you know, a guy like you or a guy like me. 00:48:56.985 --> 00:49:01.315 So when I call them, I say, listen, maybe can I be sitting on the table 00:49:01.335 --> 00:49:03.585 or just have an appointment with you? 00:49:03.875 --> 00:49:08.955 And I'm going to talk because from my, my, my, my business of entrepreneur. 00:49:09.285 --> 00:49:11.175 I know how to negotiate. 00:49:11.225 --> 00:49:14.245 I know, I know I have to have a win win situation with people. 00:49:14.655 --> 00:49:19.365 So maybe that, from all the followers I have on the back of me, maybe we 00:49:19.365 --> 00:49:22.655 can have something win win together. 00:49:23.145 --> 00:49:24.025 It's starting. 00:49:24.145 --> 00:49:28.765 I would say it's not perfect, but it's starting to come more and more and more. 00:49:29.015 --> 00:49:34.735 And if we have new government, Maybe we have a new, new open, open, open 00:49:34.735 --> 00:49:39.775 site or can I say that open way to, uh, to, uh, to negotiate and 00:49:39.775 --> 00:49:45.785 brings the knowledge of whatever we want is if it's gone, it's gone. 00:49:45.995 --> 00:49:51.005 But if it's management of the wildlife, the deer, the moose and stuff like that. 00:49:51.385 --> 00:49:53.085 Now we have the knowledge. 00:49:53.305 --> 00:49:58.335 Maybe more of everything and try to get, tell them, Hey, get, Hey, man, we have 00:49:58.345 --> 00:50:04.855 the, we have the, the, we have the, on our boots, we have, we're always on the field. 00:50:04.855 --> 00:50:09.915 So maybe I don't have, I don't have the university on the back of me, but I can 00:50:09.915 --> 00:50:11.885 tell you I have the university of life. 00:50:11.895 --> 00:50:14.495 So that, that I'm, I'm first I'm unqualified for that. 00:50:14.915 --> 00:50:16.805 Travis Bader: Well, and that's exactly, and I'm glad to see 00:50:16.805 --> 00:50:17.985 that it's going that way for you. 00:50:17.985 --> 00:50:23.325 Cause I've been finding the same thing myself, because in the people say, Oh, I 00:50:23.335 --> 00:50:25.785 hate the government or I hate whatever. 00:50:25.785 --> 00:50:29.725 I hate the police or I hate the whatever, you know, it's just, they're all people 00:50:29.895 --> 00:50:32.765 and there's going to be some really terrible people in there and there's going 00:50:32.765 --> 00:50:37.055 to be some really great people in there, but the vast majority of them are just 00:50:37.055 --> 00:50:41.285 going to be, I plug in what's, what's the easiest, the path of least resistance. 00:50:41.285 --> 00:50:42.575 I do my job, I get out. 00:50:42.585 --> 00:50:43.535 That's a vast majority. 00:50:43.780 --> 00:50:48.200 That's human nature, but by having the voice that you have with Anjos, by 00:50:48.210 --> 00:50:54.280 having the voice through the Silvercore podcast, you also kind of keep the 00:50:54.290 --> 00:50:57.920 bad people at bay because they realize there's going to be a spotlight put 00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:02.690 on them, but the good people have the ability to see what you're doing. 00:51:02.690 --> 00:51:08.240 The people who, whose ethics and morals align with your own, and you can start 00:51:08.240 --> 00:51:12.780 to help amplify the voice of those people out there who are doing good things. 00:51:13.195 --> 00:51:16.045 Stephane Monette: Of course, and I saw that because, you know, when you have 00:51:16.055 --> 00:51:20.285 those meeting with those people, you know, and really, really, you know, can 00:51:20.285 --> 00:51:25.235 say influence, influencer people on the back and you talk with them and they're 00:51:25.245 --> 00:51:29.515 like this, you know, they look at you like this and you see, but the guy is on the 00:51:29.515 --> 00:51:31.765 back, look at you and say, Oh, that's guy. 00:51:32.265 --> 00:51:34.895 And at the end of those meeting, those guys are leaving and this 00:51:34.895 --> 00:51:36.035 guy's going to come to you say. 00:51:36.365 --> 00:51:37.195 We have to talk. 00:51:37.925 --> 00:51:39.895 So that's the guy you want to have. 00:51:40.195 --> 00:51:43.305 And, and a lot of times that happened, that guy says, you 00:51:43.305 --> 00:51:44.615 know, I don't have any guns. 00:51:45.395 --> 00:51:48.125 But what you say is really, really logical. 00:51:48.135 --> 00:51:49.235 You know what you're saying. 00:51:49.865 --> 00:51:51.575 Can you explain me more about that? 00:51:51.585 --> 00:51:52.365 Of course. 00:51:52.375 --> 00:51:55.285 I mean, tell me when and how, and I'll be with you and I will explain. 00:51:55.505 --> 00:51:59.625 And that's really, you know, small things sometimes go big. 00:51:59.895 --> 00:52:01.085 And that's what I find out. 00:52:01.085 --> 00:52:03.085 Doing small thing to, you know. 00:52:03.590 --> 00:52:10.610 Not stopping, just asking, be really respectful, really polite, and that's 00:52:10.630 --> 00:52:12.220 going to come, that's going to come. 00:52:12.220 --> 00:52:17.270 That's why, that's why now, you see on a podcast, I will tell the 00:52:17.270 --> 00:52:20.130 truth, but be politically correct. 00:52:20.175 --> 00:52:20.205 Okay. 00:52:20.725 --> 00:52:25.035 Can I say, I'm gonna say that I'll be politically correct, but if, if you do 00:52:25.035 --> 00:52:26.685 something dumb, I'm gonna say you're dumb. 00:52:26.805 --> 00:52:27.675 So, so for sure. 00:52:27.680 --> 00:52:27.810 Sure. 00:52:28.065 --> 00:52:30.825 But the rest it's try to be politically correct. 00:52:31.095 --> 00:52:35.985 Try to have a win-win situation and brings what we can bring to the followers. 00:52:36.165 --> 00:52:39.105 You know, like whatever, whatever the subject it is, you know, if 00:52:39.105 --> 00:52:42.165 something touches you only touch other people and we're gonna make it. 00:52:42.405 --> 00:52:42.615 Travis Bader: That's it. 00:52:42.615 --> 00:52:46.425 So how long after posting every single day, whether you're sick, whether 00:52:46.425 --> 00:52:49.395 you're tired, whether whatever, you're still posting every day. 00:52:49.865 --> 00:52:52.715 How long from when you decided to start doing that? 00:52:52.745 --> 00:52:56.955 Did you start seeing, uh, positive results from your efforts? 00:52:58.215 --> 00:53:02.915 Stephane Monette: I would say after the second year, I would say after the 00:53:02.915 --> 00:53:08.345 second year, because I was really on some subject, you know, about managing guns. 00:53:08.355 --> 00:53:12.615 Just come about, uh, when, when the last government did all those stuff. 00:53:12.615 --> 00:53:12.935 Okay. 00:53:13.285 --> 00:53:19.905 But, uh, after I would say 400, 500 show, okay. 00:53:19.985 --> 00:53:21.135 I see. 00:53:21.365 --> 00:53:25.625 The difference when I was talking on something, they were calling me, 00:53:26.105 --> 00:53:31.575 um, sometime they, they use somebody else on my, on my people around. 00:53:31.575 --> 00:53:34.885 Say, can you say that to him too? 00:53:35.015 --> 00:53:38.835 We appreciate that or tells an example. 00:53:40.155 --> 00:53:41.545 I really don't like coyotes. 00:53:42.540 --> 00:53:42.950 Okay. 00:53:42.970 --> 00:53:46.020 The reason is they, they kill my herbs. 00:53:47.010 --> 00:53:50.140 I think they have too much on the east side. 00:53:50.140 --> 00:53:54.660 They are really more big because some, some are with the wolves. 00:53:55.220 --> 00:53:56.580 So they are intelligent. 00:53:56.620 --> 00:53:58.330 They are killing a lot of my deer. 00:53:58.380 --> 00:53:58.770 Okay. 00:53:58.770 --> 00:53:59.880 In my, uh, in my herb. 00:54:00.570 --> 00:54:03.750 So I make hard time on coyotes all the times. 00:54:03.750 --> 00:54:11.880 So, uh, for myself, if you talk with me, I would, I would maybe kill. 00:54:12.640 --> 00:54:15.560 Seventy five to a hundred coyotes every year, okay? 00:54:15.560 --> 00:54:17.570 So that's, that's really normal of what I do. 00:54:17.780 --> 00:54:21.380 So when I talk coyotes, coyotes, it's, it's a part of my life all the time. 00:54:21.820 --> 00:54:22.660 I don't like them. 00:54:22.690 --> 00:54:23.900 I respect the animal. 00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:26.490 I know why he's there, but he's not supposed to be in Quebec. 00:54:26.500 --> 00:54:27.800 He's supposed to be on the south. 00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:29.580 So, okay, he's not supposed to be around. 00:54:30.250 --> 00:54:34.800 But I was telling that most of the, I would say maybe two, three morning hours, 00:54:34.830 --> 00:54:36.560 the goddamn coyotes is on the field. 00:54:36.560 --> 00:54:37.610 I shot one yesterday. 00:54:37.610 --> 00:54:39.040 I catch one and whatever. 00:54:39.690 --> 00:54:40.800 So I get a phone call. 00:54:41.220 --> 00:54:43.230 From the, the, the game warden. 00:54:43.230 --> 00:54:50.220 Mm.
