Added 2023-06-19 04:00:02 +0000 UTCPodcasting boys become men this month as Kole Ross from Duckfeed.tv joins us to discuss Good Hill Hunting! When hunting season rolls around in Arlen, Bobby must complete one of the major rites of passage to enter the world of adulthood. But when Hank's fear of being alone with his son causes the two to miss out on their deer-slaying trip, Bobby ends up learning a more valuable lesson about masculinity. It's all happening on TalKing of the Hill: the only podcast more enticing than deer wee-wee!

2023-06-21 20:00:26 +0000 UTCI used to think the whole Dale/Redcorn thing was funny. "Haha, Dale is so dumb how does he not see it?" Now as an adult and having had my (ex-)wife cheat on me I see the situation in a completely different light. I think Dale is the saddest character on the show, even more than Bill. I see a man who worships his wife and is in extreme denial over her actions. All his friends know and have known for a very long time and NOT ONE steps forward. Nobody around him treats him well, he's living a lie, and it's depressing if you really think about it. I can't recall if he's always been eccentric, but it'd make for a great reason why he is. He has lost sense of reality, of what is truth or fiction, because nobody is honest with him. Oh, they're not telling him because they're being nice? Bologna.

2023-06-21 15:02:23 +0000 UTCI grew up in a hunting family so I've liked this episode because it is relatable, to some extent. There was never any ascension to manhood ascribed to the act, but there was a rite of passage in that "You're now old enough for me to be able to hand you a gun and not fear for my life," kind of way. I did somewhat dread those car rides with my dad though that would span hours because it's hard to relate to an adult when you're a teen. So we didn't. I would stick my head in my headphones and that was that. I think my dad took me duck hunting for the first time when I was 12 and it was an interesting experience because I was actually pretty good at it which seemed to surprised him given that I was never good at any sports or much of anything growing up. I had to point out that I've basically been "shooting" my whole life thanks to video games and duck hunting is basically all just twitch reactions. It was fun though seeing my dad proud of something I had done. I did "graduate" to deer hunting when I was maybe 14, but I never shot anything because it's actually really hard to just walk into the woods and find a deer. I stopped going several years ago mostly because of my feelings on how poorly gun control is regulated in this country, but I did end up going last fall, not because the world is any better or because I really want to shoot something, but because my dad is in his mid 60s and I don't really like the idea of him running around the mountainous regions of New Hampshire away from cell phone reception by himself at that age. Since I was basically just along for the ride, it's only natural that I ended up being the only one to find success last season. It was weird to be almost 40 and have my dad heaping praise on me again like I was 12. I guess you're never too old to enjoy genuine praise from your dad. I was fortunate growing up that my dad and uncles were pretty no nonsense when it came to their hobby, but I definitely met a few Dales. I also met some who would have no problems sitting behind a feeding station and picking out their new trophy. They also do "thinning out the herd" stuff in my state of Massachusetts because the deer get into small areas and it's just a bloodbath. I suppose the state does it because it's the simplest solution to a problem. Hunting in general though is rarely effective at such for the simple fact that it's a dying pastime, especially where I reside in the northeast. Humanity has shrunk the forests where they reside and wiped out their predators. And now the winters seem to be getting milder so more deer (and moose) make it through to the spring. There are issues with deer population which leads to disease, car strikes, and other unfun realties, though for my money it's the damn turkeys that are more of a problem these days. I have been harassed multiple times by old Tom Turkey just walking in my neighborhood. They're not a friendly bird. I've heard coyotes at night from my house, but I have yet to see one, but I'm guessing it's only a matter of time until I do since there is plenty for them to eat around here (I can't walk out my front door without seeing at least a couple of rabbits, which was unheard of 10-15 years ago).

2023-06-20 15:56:16 +0000 UTCThere's a lot to say about the myth of 'hunting for conservation' so I will try to keep it brief. 1. Hunting is necessary for population control. This is the main defense of hunting from the hunting establishment that the public has come to widely believe. But look beyond the false narrative and you will find over 350 officially registered deer breeding farms in Wisconsin alone. Why are they increasing the deer population all over the country? The answer: To keep up with the demand for animals to hunt. This is why the population control argument is a false one. These populations are artificially created for the sole purpose of hunting and killing them 2. The 10 largest non-profit conservation organizations contribute $2.5 billion annually to habitat and wildlife conservation; of this, only 12.3 percent comes from hunters and 87.7 percent from the non-hunting public.

2023-06-19 18:02:15 +0000 UTCI know the intentions are good and pure, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to be a scold and say you shouldn't leave food out for deer because it makes them less afraid of humans or more likely to raid yards, and increases their chances of getting shot/put down. It's not good for their natural diet either and they could get sick. Plus it could attract bears

2023-06-19 16:26:07 +0000 UTChe forgot about that little conversation and although I never did, I didn't want to bring it up when the time came because I didn't want the guns or the pressure to have to use the guns for hunting. also iphones were just going wide and made the tv seem less like a novelty to me.

2023-06-19 14:51:40 +0000 UTCgrowing up in Texas as the 'Bobby' to a pretty right-leaning family, this was always a particularly relatable episode as I had no interest in hunting or hunting culture. A memory I still laugh about (that feels like something straight out of a KotH episode), is one time my grandfather took a preteen me into his closet and showed me all of his guns telling me "I'm planning on giving these to you when you turn 15." The guns were of no value to me, but I looked over at a handheld tv (I think a Sony Watchman) and asked if I could have that too. He looked puzzled and responded "sure. that too. when you turn 15."
