SPEAKER_4 (0:12)

Hey, we're live, hey, gentlemen, what's happening?

Cameron Hanes (0:15)

What is going on? Good to see you.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

Good to see you guys again.

Cameron Hanes (0:18)

Bo Hunting Brothers.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Yeah, we're just talking about the mountain line that we have in the lobby and how insane that thing is. So Adam, you shot that mountain line when?

Adam Greentree (0:27)

I think it was about six or seven years ago now.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

And you ate it and I ate some of it. You sent some to me. It's really good, believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen.

Adam Greentree (0:34)

You wouldn't think so, but it's incredible.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

Everybody says it's like, the way they describe it is like a, I think Renella said this, a superior pork.

Adam Greentree (0:41)

Yeah, yeah, it's like, I think of it as a cross between venison and chicken. And then, and I only did it quick on the barbecue and I'm not a great cook, but it was that tender and that tasty.

Joe Rogan (0:53)

But the story behind the mountain line is nuts. Like that was like a murderous mountain line.

Adam Greentree (0:58)

It was, I felt a bit funny about it at the start with, because like the dogs do all the hunting, right? The dogs smell it, dogs find it. They put it up in a tree. But the further I looked into it, I'm like, well, you need the tree because you want to sex it and you want to age it. You want to make sure it's a lion that's old and it has to be a male to shoot it in Colorado, at least at the time you had to anyway. So it was actually the perfect way to hunt. But then seeing how destructive that individual lion was, at least, I was telling Cam about this when we got here, that it must have grabbed the cow like a beef cow. It must have grabbed it on the neck and the cow couldn't move, but it was still fully alive internally and vocally, it was still alive. When we got there, the mountain lion was eating it from its rear in. It had been there for at least an hour or two because there was quite a lot of meat that had been eaten out from the cow's ass.

Cameron Hanes (1:55)

It was kicking its hooves.

Adam Greentree (1:56)

Yeah, but the cow couldn't get up, so it was literally eating it while it was still alive. As the dogs were running down there, you could hear this cow off in the distance just like screaming, like mooing flat out. You could tell something was wrong, the dogs got there, the lion ran off. We end up calling the rancher in, the rancher come out, put the cow out of its misery, still screaming on the ground right in front of me. Hey, I was teared up, like I don't like suffering like the next person. So it was a very horrible moment. So then it was like, now I'm into it. Like now I'm into finding this lion.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

It's like a werewolf's loose in your town. How much did that cat weigh, by the way?

Adam Greentree (2:42)

I held it up for size and I could hold it for maybe 30 seconds. And I literally couldn't hold it up anymore. And I was trying to show the size of how big that lion was.

Joe Rogan (2:54)

It looks like it's at least 150 pounds.

Adam Greentree (2:56)

Yeah, it's giant.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

So it's like 170 That's what you think it would be on the paw, I guess.

Cameron Hanes (3:01)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, like, yeah, that's a big animal.

Joe Rogan (3:05)

We were standing out in front of it like, go on, imagine if this thing jumped on you.

Adam Greentree (3:08)

It's a living monster.

Joe Rogan (3:10)

It is a monster. It's a real monster. And he's like, oh, they kill their animal, their prey first. No, they don't just make sure it doesn't move anymore.

Adam Greentree (3:18)

Yeah, just whatever is good for eating.

Joe Rogan (3:19)

They'll just start eating it.

Adam Greentree (3:20)

Whatever is good for eating, it's on.

Cameron Hanes (3:23)

We're the only thing that has compassion in the wild. You know, like putting it out of the misery like the rancher did. You know, that's one thing about hunters, ranchers. We do appreciate life and death. And there is a time where, hey, let's put out of its misery. But it's, yeah, it's man is the only one who thinks about that. An animal, they'll just start eating. They could care less about, they don't even know about pain really or being merciful or anything like that. It's just what we do.
