| 0:07.4 | That's not to say they're here now. And this is kind of a placeholder, if you will, to say good |
| 0:15.8 | morning and start those of you who are already working in the wee hours of the dawn on this Friday, |
| 0:22.8 | off with a friendly message from the Backcountry Hunting Podcast. |
| 0:26.5 | We have a massive announcement coming at 9 a.m. Mountain Time. |

| 1:52.4 | Brian continues, 280 Ackley, 7 PRC, 300 WynMag, and 300 PRC. |
