Speaker 1:

All right, everyone, what is up? It is our first ever game night. We are about to have 20 questions that we're going to be asking our guys. I'm about to introduce them. We have currently right now, we have six guys that are going to be on with us tonight. Um, it is ranging anywhere from new jersey based questions, um, so anything from hunting, uh, historical questions, anything like that. Um, so, really excited for this. Um, the winner is getting a. I think the first winning is going to be a 50 gift card to cabela's and then a chance to repeat their championship. And the next time we do this and every time we do this, we're going to be adding more to the, to the winnings and everything like that. So we're going to start introducing everyone. So let's get it going. And my first guy that we're going to be introducing, he's our team guy. He's actually our sponsorship director. We're going to be welcoming Peyton. What's up, peyton? Welcome, welcome.

Speaker 2:

Hey, what's going on? Thanks for having me. I'm excited for the first edition and, hopefully, cabela's gift card.

Speaker 1:

The next person that we got. Another one of our team guys we're going to be introducing Wild Pines Pursuit, aka Steve. Welcome, steve.

Speaker 4:

What's up, fellas? Great to be here. We're going to have a lot of fun tonight. We're looking forward to it. One of us is going to take home that gift card.

Speaker 1:

Next we got here. Everyone knows him as Broadside Ambush. We got Frank. Welcome Frank.

Speaker 5:

Hey, what's going on? Everybody, I'm excited to get the games going. I think one of us is going to take it home tonight, so see what happens.

Speaker 1:

Now introducing the guys that are not on our team. You know we got to introduce the turkey killer himself, kyle. Welcome, kyle. You're muted, buddy. I'm ready to lose. Next we got Gavruns Wild. Next we got Gavruns Wild. You know he's a hell of a freaking season, him and his soon-to-be wife. Welcome, welcome, andrew. Welcome to the show.

Speaker 5:

What's up, everybody, if I don't?

Speaker 1:

win. It's rigged. And, last but not least, he is the guy right now that is currently driving the food plots, especially with Steve over there, and giving Steve so many pointers. Steve, that food plot looks brilliant, but we got Austin. Welcome Austin.

Speaker 6:

What's going on, and I am going to be the winner, taking it back to the Empire State. So get it going.

Speaker 1:

Excelsior. Well, everyone, yet again. Like I said, thank you so much for tuning in. Let's get it, you guys, ready yeah, let's get it.

Speaker 1:

I'm very interested to see who wins honestly, Not going to lie, I'm very interested. So we are going to be going with question one. The topic for question one is historical wildlife regulations and management. Question one what was the bounty for killing a grown wolf in New Jersey's first wildlife regulation in 1675? Now I'm going to give you a multiple choice. So question A is 10 shillings, Question B is 15. Question C is 20. And question D is 25. Your time starts now. You guys have two minutes. If everyone comes up with a time before that and everyone's ready to go, we can proceed right away.

Speaker 2:

Are we allowed to Google the conversion from shillings to dollars? Are we allowed to Google?

Speaker 1:

the conversion from shillings to dollars. No Google at all. No Google at all. As much as I want to trust you, money is on the line, so I cannot trust you that much.

Speaker 4:

I didn't even know that we were here in New Jersey in 1675.

Speaker 1:

You those uh answers again, mike yeah, yes, the answers for question number one is a 10 shillings, b 15 shillings, c 20 shillings and d 25 shillings. I like saying shillings. I think we should go back to that.

Speaker 2:

Sorry, I was pulling up my sticky note. I'm going to keep my answers on you one more time.

Speaker 1:

No problem, we have 10 shillings, 15 shillings, 20 shillings or 25 shillings.

Speaker 4:

Now it makes more sense why we need two minutes to answer.

Speaker 2:

Could you tell us the conversion from shillings to dollars?

Speaker 1:

Let's look it up.

Speaker 4:

And after that can you give us uh conversion for what the dollar was worth back then as opposed?

Speaker 2:

to now. Can you inflation adjust that as well?

Speaker 1:

yeah, please oh my god, this is uh.

Speaker 2:

Hold on, this is going to be interesting I've got my answer, but it's based in nothing then you would be alone yeah, they even is that, as they even use shilling still.

Speaker 1:

So it's still a currency okay, so I don't know how much this is going to really help. Um, hold on, let me see.

Speaker 6:

Let me see, I don't know who Jesus?

Speaker 1:

Okay, let's see. I don't know if I'm going to give you a direct, be able to give you a direct answer, but okay, so, in as best as I can give you, in 1810, one shilling was converted. So $1 was converted to $16.91 would be now. So if you get one shilling, it would be like $16.91 back in 1810. Or I mean back in 2006,. My bad, so in 2006, the last time they did this, it was $16.91 for one shilling.

Speaker 6:

Okay, what was the date of the question?

Speaker 1:

1624. The date of the question is 1675.

Speaker 2:

75, 16, 75, all right all right, I'm good, I'm good like that helped me a lot actually yeah, that put it a little bit.

Speaker 6:

There's a little bit of perspective there.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and who wants to go first with the first answer? Well, don't all jump out at once. Kyle, let's get the first. What do you got first? C, c, okay, kyle's got C. Who's next? I'll go A? Okay, so right now we have 10 and 20. Frank, you're up.

Speaker 5:

I was going to go with B 15.

Speaker 1:

All right, who's?

Speaker 2:

next I'm going to say 10. Is that A? It's 10 A.

Speaker 1:

A is 10,.

Speaker 2:

yes, Okay, I'm going to say A then.

Speaker 1:

All right, and then the last one. I'm going.

Speaker 6:

B 15.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 4:

And I'm going to go with B as well.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so we have Frank, Steve and Austin both getting it correct. It was 15. So the first points of the game show is going to Steve, Frank and Austin, all with one point. How do we feel about that one?

Speaker 6:

To be expected, brother Rigged.

Speaker 1:

Rigged. Yes, yes, it is rigged.

Speaker 2:

All right, I feel like this is more of a math question than anything else.

Speaker 4:

That sounds like so much money. Were these dire wolves, I mean geez.

Speaker 1:

Even that. It must have been like it didn't say anything about that. But listen, I don't know what type of wolves we had in new jersey, but you know what? All right, our next question is going to be from historical wildlife regulation. Oh sorry, that's the same thing. Jesus Christ, my bad. We have now wildlife and hunting regulations. This is just our current laws right now. As what is the minimum peak draw weight for a compound bow used in hunting in New Jersey? I think everyone but Austin has. Austin, you got the disadvantage with this one, so I'm going to give you guys the questions. It is A 30, b 35, steve 40. D 45.

Speaker 6:

I'm ready to go. Yeah same Yep.

Speaker 1:

All right guys. Who wants to go first? We got Frank. Why don't you give us the first answer?

Speaker 5:

I'm going 35.

Speaker 1:

Frank 35. Yep All right next.

Speaker 2:

I'm going 35, too.

Speaker 1:

Next is 35. Who we got next? 35 for B, all right, everyone.

Speaker 4:

B final answer.

Speaker 1:

B. Final answer All right, kyle, you said B, yeah, b, all right. Everyone got their first point, congratulations. So we now have Frank, steve and Austin with two. Everyone else now has one, all right. Next question as of same thing, wildlife and hunting right, well, not really a hunting regulation, but it's hunting in new jersey as of 2020. How many black bears were taken by archery during the october hunting season? We have a 236, b 286, c 336 or D 386?.

Speaker 1:

Frank is on roll right now. All right, all right. What is the current record weight for a lake trout caught in New Jersey as of 2002? I think that should have been as of 2024.

32.8. 32.8? Yep, all right, the correct answer is 32.8. Nice, and that will end Frank's streak right there. Of course, when Frank throws the phone away, he gets his first question wrong.

Speaker 3:

Uh-oh, I'm on to something there you saw it, yep the only reason why I know that is because I think, like two or three years ago, there was a lake that I was wanting to fish at and I looked up like the biggest lake trout in New Jersey and it had been that long the record for like four.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was a very impressive. I mean there's a few impressive scores. There's one that I was looking up that has, like, that's been the you know biggest since.

Speaker 1:

Like yeah, it's like a ridiculous, like it's still back in the day. But, all right, Our New Jersey people you, you will probably know this one what percentage of New Jersey's residents have paid hunting licenses? Is it a 0.5%, B, 0.8%, C, 1.2% or D 1.5%? Anyone need me to go over it again? Yeah, All right. In what percentage of New Jersey's residents have paid hunting licenses? Is it A, 0.5%, B, 0.8%, C, 1.2% or D 1.5%? Let me know when you guys are ready, everyone ready yeah, yeah all right, austin.

Speaker 1:

What is your first guess? 28 b eve. What is your first guess?

Speaker 4:

Speaker 5:

you D 1.5.

Speaker 1:

And Peyton.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to go B 0.8 as well.

Speaker 1:

All right, the correct answer is 0.8%.

Speaker 5:

Jesus, that's so crazy, that's so bad. All right we got to do better. It's so crazy. That's so bad. We got to do better. It's so crazy. There's just nobody getting into it. It's so sad.

Speaker 1:

It is a very unfortunate thing.

Speaker 4:

when you look at it, it's such an interesting dichotomy, because we say we need to get more people involved, but then we complain when more people get involved and there's less places to hunt.

Speaker 1:

That's true. That's pretty true too.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, that kind of seems like the overall sentiment. I think that's just like a mindset change that people just need to get into. Yeah, yeah, I agree, yeah, no, I definitely agree with that. That's just like a mindset change that people just need to get into and yeah, yeah I agree, yeah, no, I, I definitely agree with that.

Speaker 1:

Um, all right. Next question in what year did new jersey's biologist identify a heritage strain of brook trout in 11 streams? Was it a 2005? Was it A 2005, b, 2008, c, 2011, or D 2014? I will repeat the question again In what year did New Jersey's biologists identify a heritage strain of brook trout in 11 streams? Was it A 2005, b, 2008, c, 2011, or D 2014? 11 streams was it a 2005, b, 2008, c, 2011 or d 2014?

Speaker 3:

I have no idea, no all right.

Speaker 1:

Well, I guess we'll be going with the guess game. Peyton, what is your guess?

Speaker 2:

I'm going to say 2005,. A.

Speaker 5:

Andrew 2011, C.

Speaker 1:

Kyle.

Speaker 3:

I'm going to say B.

Speaker 5:

Frank, I'm going to take a flyer, but I'm going to say B All right Steve.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, I was thinking 2011 as well.

Speaker 6:

And Austin 2005,. Hey.

Speaker 1:

The correct answer is 2008.

Speaker 6:

Fuck man, I circled that and.

Speaker 2:

I win, I'm not even guessing based on anything I know. I'm just trying to track what you didn't pick recently A, b or C.

Speaker 4:

That's my best shot at getting these right. This is like unwanted unwanted college uh test rules yeah, we're doing that.

Speaker 6:

He hasn't. He hasn't used d yet, so you keep that in mind this is a little bit of roulette here it's coming up next yo.

Speaker 3:

Is there any?

Speaker 1:

all the above questions oh, I, I, honestly, I, I there might be one. I am not generally sure. Chat GPT is great, so I got all the questions and I got all the answers and then I put it in. I said give me so-and-so with you know, multiple choice questions, and it broke it all down. All the research I did and I, yeah, chat GPT huge help for this episode and it broke down almost everything. For me. It was actually it looks really great on on my screen and everything like that. But all right. Next question chat GPT we. After this, I will give you guys the current scores. We will be at the halfway point. Which endangered species migration patterns are tracked using? Oh my god, I don't even know this word. Oh wait, holy shit. Acoustics, my bad. A receiver is deployed in delaware bay since 2012. Oh my god. Which endangered endangered species migration patterns are tracked using acoustic receivers deployed in Delaware Bay since 2012? Is it A the Atlantic sturgeon, b the short-nosed sturgeon, c Atlantic salmon or B bluefin tuna or B?

Speaker 2:

bluefin tuna.

Speaker 1:

Need the question or answers again.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, repeat the question.

Speaker 1:

Okay, the questions are Atlantic sturgeon shortnose sturgeon Atlantic salmon or bluefin tuna.

Speaker 6:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Ooh Ready. This is the first one I felt confident in.

Speaker 1:

All right Well.

Speaker 2:

Peyton, since you're confident you go first.

Speaker 6:

Edlin excurgeon yeah, I said a surgeon yep awesome, okay is.

Speaker 1:

Is that everyone's final answer? Frank steve, what are your final answers? Sure yeah that sounds great I'm in for a freebie. Yeah, all right. The correct answer as everyone got the first one, all 100% is Atlantic Sturgeon. Everyone thank Peyton.

Speaker 6:

All right, it's the only one that's actually in danger.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, now, after the first half, we have Peyton with four points, we have Andrew with five points, we have Kyle with seven points, we have Frank with eight points, we have Steve with five points, and then we have Austin with six points. That sounds perfect. This is actually a lot tighter of a race than I thought it was going to be. Kyle, I thought you were going to be losing this thing. You're right up there and almost in first place.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, well, more than half of them, I just guessed.

Speaker 1:

Well, you seem pretty confident on some of these questions.

Speaker 3:

I'll tell you what this is, how I got through school too. I just, you know, educated answer.

Speaker 1:

All right, we are going to be going to the next one. I don't think anyone's going to get this one correct, but I'm going to give it a shot. Answer question number 11. Which bird species population in New Jersey was reported to have declined by 28% in 2019? I do not know why I picked this one. We got the American Kessler, we got the american brand, we got the piping, pipping plover, or we got the red knot. I like that name pipping plover. Okay, I'll go over it again. Which bird species population in new Jersey was reported to have declined by 28% in 2019? The American kestrel, the American brant, the piping plover or the red knot? Austin, what do we got? I'm going D D, all right.

Speaker 4:

Steve, what do we have? C piping plover Frank.

Speaker 3:

I'm going to go B Kyle, kyle, I guess I'll say C.

Speaker 5:

Andrew C Piping plover and.

Speaker 2:

Peyton, I'm going to say the brand because it's the only thing you hunt in New Jersey, so B.

Speaker 1:

The correct answer is the American brand. Very good, nice, very good. All right, I'll do a a nice easy one for you guys. You have a 50% chance of getting this one correct for question number 12. Is it legal to use drones or unmanned aircraft to hunt in New Jersey? Peyton, what is your answer?

Speaker 2:

no.

Speaker 1:

Andrew, what is your answer?

Speaker 5:

what is? Multiple choice or no?

Speaker 1:

oh, damn shit. Yes, oh, you know what I'm. I'm gonna make this one a little difficult. I am not gonna name this one as a multiple choice. I do have it down as a multiple choice, but I actually think this one's pretty.

Speaker 5:

You know I'll help yeah.

Speaker 1:

All right, payton, what do you got? I'm going to say a Robin, Andrew. What do you got? I'm going to say a Robin.

Speaker 5:

Andrew, what do we got?

Speaker 1:

Golden Finch Kyle. What do we have? The Golden Finch Frank.

Speaker 4:

Golden Finch Steve.

Speaker 6:

Golden Finch and I'm not just copying. And Austin, I'm not copying. I did know this one, but I am Goldenfinch.

Speaker 1:

The correct answer is a Goldenfinch, the American Goldenfinch. I kind of knew it. That was like one of the only bird questions I think I will would have ever came close to getting correct.

Speaker 4:

For bonus points. Why is it the state bird?

Speaker 6:

Because your guys' license plates are yellow.

Speaker 4:

They are now. They used to be blue.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they used to be blue, yep.

Speaker 5:

Is there an answer?

Speaker 2:

to that.

Speaker 5:

No.

Speaker 3:

I don Yep.

Speaker 5:

Is there an answer to that?

Speaker 1:

No, I don't think there is an answer to that. I could probably look it up. Let me see.

Speaker 4:

Probably the founder of the Audubon Society was from Jersey and that was his favorite bird probably. I didn't realize that either. I didn't realize that the Audubon Society was kind of a tri-state thing here.

Speaker 1:

It kind of doesn't exist in some other states it was designated the state bird in 1935, they said, because the prevalence in the state, its vibrant appearance and its melodious song, the golden correlation of the male golden finch during the breeding season, might have also contributed to its selection as a state bird. So I guess it sounded really nice when it sang, when it was trying to mate. That's what I'm going to go with. All right, we're on question number 14. Which new program did the division introduce in 2000 to educate youth on fishing instead of drug use? We have A the Fishing for Life Program. B Hooked on Fishing, not on Drugs. Program C Youth Anglers Program or D Say no to Drugs, say yes to Fishing Program. Which new program did the division introduce in the 2000s to educate youth on fishing instead of drug use? Was it A Fishing for Life Program, b Hooked on Fishing, not on Drugs. Program D Youth Anglers Program, or D Say no to Drugs. Say yes to Fishing Program.

Speaker 4:

We are heading to question 15. We're coming close. I'm going to do something good. Let's find a good one for you guys.

Speaker 4:

I know exactly where the trailer is parked, where all the rods are for that program in South Jersey here. Really, yep, it's on my friend's, it's on one of my friend's properties.

Speaker 1:

What year did New Jersey prohibit deer hunting at night? Was it a 1750, b 1765, c, 1780 or d 1795. D 1795. Give me one second. All right, peyton. What is your answer? I'm going to go D, all right.

Speaker 5:

Andrew, how about you? 1780.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 5:

I'm going to go B on this one.

Speaker 1:

Steve, how about you? I'm going to go B on this one, steve, how about?

Speaker 4:

you 1780.

Speaker 1:

And Austin, last one 1765. The correct answer when New Jersey made deer hunting at night illegal was B 1765. Frank, you just keep piling them up. We have four questions left. We have Austin with 10. We have Steve with 12. Do you have 12? Wait, oh, I missed one right there. You're right, my bad, you have 12. Frank, jesus Christ With 13. Austin, you're putting on a show. You're putting on a show. You're putting on a show.

Speaker 6:

I'm getting lucky, Just like Brad, I get lucky man.

Speaker 1:

Kyle with 10. Andrew with 8. And Peyton with 7. Final four questions what significant wildlife management milestone did the division reach in 2005? The wildlife management area system hit a milestone of more than a hundred thousand acres, or b two hundred thousand acres, c three hundred thousand acres or d four hundred thousand acres. Anyone need me to read the question one more time? Anyone need me to read the question?

Speaker 6:

one more time.

Speaker 1:

Just the options.

Speaker 6:

It is A 100,000 acres B 200,000 acres, c 300,000 acres or D 400,000 acres.

Speaker 1:

Actually repeat the question what significant wildlife management milestone did the division reach in 2005? Was it A 100,000, b 200,000, c 300,000, or D 400,000? Thousand b, two hundred thousand, c three hundred thousand or d four hundred thousand acres? This is all acres.

Speaker 2:

yes is this just wma, or is this?

Speaker 1:

this is yep, while a the wildlife management area.

Speaker 2:

So not like federal land or state.

Speaker 1:

Nope, they're not counting federal, this is just a WMA.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to say 100, then A.

Speaker 1:

A 100? Okay, Andrew, how about you?

Speaker 5:

I'm going to go with the same A. Let's do it.

Speaker 3:

Kyle C.

Speaker 1:

Frank C Steve C Steve.

Speaker 4:

B.

Speaker 1:

And Austin C. You said C Yep, the correct answer is 300,000 C 358,000, to be exact 358,000. How the hell do you know that?

Speaker 6:

Remember, I told you.

Speaker 5:

Oh you were doing the studying, it paid off.

Speaker 3:

Look at that, that is impressive oh wait, all right, but there's nowhere to hunt in new jersey. Remember who?

Speaker 1:

we. I will say I've looked it up a lot. New jersey does have a lot of wmas, like I.

Speaker 2:

I knew it was a lot not including including Wharton State Forest or the Watergab or anything like that Big tracks.

Speaker 3:

There's over 750, I think it's over 750,000 acres of state land, and that's including all of that, I think.

Speaker 6:

In perspective one acre is really only a 200 by 200 square.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But still, I mean, is it 200 yards or feet?

Speaker 6:

It's 200 feet. Feet Really 200 feet by 200 feet in a perfect square is one acre I didn't know that. If you put it in perspective like that, I guess that's 44,000 square feet right. Yeah, 44.

Speaker 4:

44.

Speaker 6:

Yeah 44 something, point something. I had it memorized at one time.

Speaker 1:

Okay, give me one second okay what county was the biggest whitetail deer killed in? This is not, this is going to be any of you guys can answer whatever. Take your guess, take your pick. The biggest whitetail deer killed in New Jersey was taken in what county?

Speaker 4:

Biggest all around, non-typical, typical archery Does it matter? Just in general, the largest.

Speaker 1:

Just in general. Does it matter Typical, non-typical? It is just in general what county has declaimed the biggest white-toed deer in New Jersey so far? Now I'm going to change it up real quick.

Speaker 1:

Let me look up the exact from 19 friggin 50 something it was harvested in 2002.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, but newer than that, yeah wow, uh.

Speaker 1:

The score of the biggest white tit in New Jersey was not specifically mentioned in the preventer. However, it's common for the score of a trussie buck to be measured using bone of cracker or poopy nose 16 pointer. It's. Let's see.

Speaker 6:

Okay, what count? Are you in 203 inches of long bone?

Speaker 1:

Hmm, All right, I'll have to look that one up for more details later. All right, question number 18 we still have austin, frank and kyle. Frank with 14, austin went 13 and kyle with 11. I want a good one for you guys. How many bald eagle nests were documented statewide in New Jersey in 2014? Made it statewide in New Jersey in 2014. We have 100 nests, 125 nests, 150 nests or 156 nests? I'll ask it again Is it 100 nests? Is it 125 nests, 150 nests or 156 nests? I'm going to go with Frank. What is your guess?

Same 156 for the same context. Clues Peyton.

Speaker 3:

Peyton, you're muted. That was my bad.

Speaker 1:

We have Kyle at 13, which now has been eliminated mathematically. Everyone else has been eliminated mathematically.

Speaker 1:

The minute we decided that we were going to officially do this, austin said that he wanted to be on, he wanted to join, and that he was going to win and wanted to join, and that he was going to win. And then he also. He was confident enough to come up with the idea if the winner stays on for the next show.
