Last summary may have heard about first light's amazing waterfowl gear.

0:05.0

It is truly best in class, it's amazing stuff.

If you could find a problem with it, it may have been that it just wasn't in a camouflage pattern that you use in your super dark, timbre, hidey holes like in the Mississippi flyaway.

0:21.0

Well, grumble no more, we just released cash camel.

0:26.0

Specifically formulated for hunting ducks in the flooded hardwoods, the pattern was designed using the same nature based algorithm used in other patterns that we use at first light, but emphasizes micro break up elements and blah, blah, blah. The thing is gang.

0:41.0

Ducks flying over, craning down, staring into those timbre holes are going to see that sweet decoy spread you have and they're not going to see you.

0:49.0

We tested and tweaked it for two seasons in Arkansas and if there's not reason enough to buy already, we donate a portion of every sale of duck hunting gear to Delta waterfowl to support their mission of conserving North American duck and goose populations through a sweet little program we call camo for conservation.

1:09.0

So head to firstlight.com slash cash that's C-A-C-H-E like the river in Arkansas and give it a look today.

Now here's your host, Ryan Cal Calahan.

A Canadian man has been fired from his job after he says he saved a moose calf from a black bear. Thanks to everyone who sent me this story.

1:49.0

British Columbia resident Mark Skage told the Canadian broadcasting company that he was traveling in the northern part of the province when he noticed the female calf alone on the side of the road.

1:59.0

He says he didn't see an adult moose anywhere in the area and the calf was nearly hit by several cars.

2:05.0

Skage decided to pull over and try to scare the moose off the highway. But when he opened his car door, the moose trotted up and hopped in.

2:13.0

Was this baby moose on a whirlwind hitchhiking tour to escape her overbearing parents and find her true self? Maybe, probably not.

2:21.0

Skage says he saw a black bear about 50 yards off the road and the moose apparently decided that the strange man in the metal machine looked safer than the predator in the woods.

2:31.0

Kind of a devil you don't know is better than the devil you do scenario. Anyway, Skage waited another few minutes for the mother moose to show up, but eventually decided to keep driving and give the BC conservation officer service a call.

2:45.0

He took a video of the moose riding shotgun and she looks surprisingly calm. Almost like she'd been waiting her entire life to break away from her small town existence, spread her wings and learn how to fly.

Her Kelly Clarkson fantasy was not to be. Skage transferred the calf to conservation officers and she was taken to a rehab facility several days later.

3:05.0

Skage said he knows that it's usually best to let nature take its course, but he doesn't regret his decision.

3:11.0

Unfortunately, his employer AFD petroleum ink didn't see it that way. They said in a statement quote instead of reporting the situation to a conservation officer, the individual made the independent decision to transport an un-the-indured moose a wild animal in the front seat of his company vehicle for many hours.
