0:00.0	Hey folks, Randy Newberg here with another episode of Louis Pold's Hunt Talk Radio.
0:06.4	Those of you who listen to this podcast know that we spend a lot of time talking about public land.
0:11.5	We spend a lot of time talking about conservation. We spend a lot of time talking about history.
0:17.0	Well, today I've got two people who probably are as expert as we're going to find on those topics.
0:23.6	So I'm going to sit back and take notes because I've really sent this up for failure.
0:30.4	No, no, no, you guys, this is going to be a fun discussion and it's going to be a little bit of

1:47.4	and keep it from spoiling. So, Orioncoolers.com go there, use promo code Randy and you're going to
1:53.3	get a free tumbler with the purchase of your wonderful Orion cooler. Onyxmaps, I don't know how,
2:01.6	how I hunted without Onyxmaps before that, but onyxmaps.com, they are just, I don't go anywhere,

2:13.2	And with Onyxmaps, they have their hunt app product and any hunt app product, not the chip,
