This is the Black Rifle Coffee podcast.

Great, that's awesome. So that's what it means is the board is on. Okay, I understand now. I have a

Courage Fill to get a light, a red and a green. Yeah, like you'd imagine, um, on the old days,

right, like the old FM radio days, but yeah, it's not. It's not in his DNA. I can do it. No, what's,

so what's the, what's your L cunning situation, go right now? Are you have you been out? Nope. And well,

here's I drew, I just got back from Moose Hunt. Okay. Um, and I drew.

What is arguably the most coveted tag in, in my state in Montana? If you ask that question,

you'd, you'd get two answers, maybe like what is the most coveted L tag? Right. Um,

and I drew one of them. So nor much of the state, the bowl, I shouldn't say the bulk of the state.

Yeah, I guess, I guess like the bulk of the L cunning in the state is, is over the counter,

right, residents, you just buy that the gas station or online, but we have, we have, um,

limited draw units. And years ago, they carved out this chunk of ground that,

that sits on the north west border of Yellowstone National Park. Oh, right.

And it used to be a general unit. You just be like the elk unit, right? And I haven't,

I, I keep meaning to get into the history of it because I have a friend whose relative was instrumental in creating this thing called the buffer zone.

And it's a little over 50 square miles that sits up against the park, right? And they give out five elk tags every year for the buffer zone.

And you can't even hunt deer in it, right? Okay. So just, so no one's in their hunting deer.

There's no cow tags. It's just five. It might even be either sick, even just five elk tags for 50 square miles.

And what it does is it gets elk, as elk are migrating out of the park, it gives them kind of, well, a buffer.

Yeah. Between as they're exiting the park and dispersing around because they follow some, some of those elk that live in Yellowstone,

and Yellowstone follow some pretty predictable migratory routes. Mm-hmm. Before they fan out and go in various paths.

And so I think it's meant to kind of soften the migration exit out of there.
