EP. 089 - JUST THE GASSHOLES (PRE SEASON SHOW)

EPISODE 089 — JUST THE GASSHOLES

Elk season is days away, BC industry is taking another beating, and somehow Curt can handle the mountains but apparently can’t handle getting blood drawn.

Devin and Curt are back for another Just the Gassholes, kicking things off with Curt’s hospital visit and an unfortunate encounter with a needle that ends with him hitting the deck. From there, the conversation gets a little more serious as the boys dig into BC mill closures and what those shutdowns actually mean for workers, contractors, truckers, families, and small communities that depend on resource industries.

Then it’s time for what everyone has been waiting for: September.

The boys break down final elk-season prep, scouting and trail-cam intel, gear, rifles, and plans heading into the opener. Devin also gives his first impressions after finally getting behind the new Fierce Rage LR in .300 PRC—which naturally leads into another round of the internet telling them they apparently have “too much gun” for moose.

Things get heated when the conversation turns to the Nelson-area grizzly saga. After the sow and one yearling were killed and the two remaining bears were relocated, both resurfaced around Christina Lake—with another eventually being killed after continuing to frequent human-use areas and access garbage. Devin and Curt dig into the backlash against Conservation Officers, the vigil held for the sow, food-conditioned bears, human responsibility, and the uncomfortable reality of what happens when wildlife loses its fear of people.

Finally, the boys discuss disturbing allegations of remote airstrips and floatplane access being sabotaged in Northern BC and the WSSBC’s call for information.

Hunting, rifles, elk season, BC industry, grizzlies, politics, and plenty of shit talking.

Just the Gas Holes is back.
