00:10Don't go anywhere, I need to get a statement from you.
00:13Who's involved?
00:14Some people that have called in said that they had hit a hawk on the interstate.
00:18Amazing to me that he was still alive.
00:20I'm watching these guys coming down and there's fire all around us.
00:24Today we are going to electroshock some fish.
00:27It will briefly stun the fish, we can net them and measure them.
00:30If I find out that this elk has been shot, it's potentially a felony.
00:34That is crazy.
00:36Look at this fish, that is absolutely insane.
00:39These embers that are falling on us right now, we should get out of here.
00:44Nevada, a land of extremes.
00:48From the strip to the summits, it's wild country.
00:52Home to more than 900 species and a way of life worth protecting.
00:58Preserved for the people and the wildlife that call it home.
01:03One team stands guard.
01:06This is Nevada Wild.
01:30I got a report of a vehicle that I had actually looked at about a month ago,
01:34which appears to be abandoned.
01:38There's some things about it that just look kind of off to me.
01:42The windows are rolled down.
01:43Nothing's locked.
01:44It looks really disheveled and it's not registered.
01:48Run the VIN number and it comes back to someone in Arizona that's not answering.
01:52With it being a really remote area and this vehicle being out for so long,
01:56it's possible this individual went for a hike and is out on the mountains.
02:01And that's where my expertise and my skill set comes into play.
02:06And I patrol an area bigger than some states.
02:09I know springs and mountain ranges and the main roads and most of the stuff in these areas.
02:15But every single year I'll get on a road and be like,
02:18I had no idea that this road even existed.
02:21So we're coming up on this vehicle.
02:23The windows are down.
02:25Not likely that someone would leave a vehicle here and leave the windows down.
02:30It looks to me like someone would park it like this to go for a hike,
02:33a quick hike, and then they would come back.
02:40It's never been locked.
02:41It's just open.
02:43There's water, food,
02:45things that look like he intended to utilize it for a while.
02:52Normally we wouldn't go into a person's vehicle and look around,
02:55but when it's a public safety issue and I'm worried about a guy's life,
02:59then we have the ability to dig a little deeper without having a warrant.
03:02It does say right on the window here, bad transmission.
03:06I mean, it could be leaving a note for someone,
03:08hey, this has a bad transmission, that's why I'm leaving it here.
03:12You know, you can show me out.
03:13I'm going to do a little recon up on Dutch John Mountain,
03:17possible missing person.
03:18And things can get really dangerous really quick out here.
03:22You fall and break your leg and you're only half a mile out.
03:25That half a mile in the heat can kill you.
03:29It can get dangerous in a hurry.
03:32So I'm just going to do a trek up to that mountain range.
03:35We're going to be looking for scent, the smell of something dead.
03:39After a month, it's more of a recovery operation
03:42if there is a body out here than a rescue.
03:59You ready to go?
04:01Let's make it happen.
04:01All right, let's do this.
04:02I am Lisa Osborne.
04:04I am with Nevada Department of Wildlife.
04:07I am a fisheries biologist in southern Nevada.
04:09Today I am out at Hunts Canyon Creek with Connor Friel,
04:13local game warden and local expert to the area.
04:16My family is fourth generation Nevadan.
04:20Spent my whole life outside, come from a law enforcement background.
04:23Being a game warden was the natural progression of combining
04:25love for the outdoors and law enforcement.
04:27We are going to survey some fish in Hunts Canyon Creek
04:31and see what's there.
04:33For an official site, we measure out a predetermined length,
04:38so 50 to 100 meters.
04:40As a fisheries biologist, we survey streams
04:43so that we can tell people what fish is where.
04:46The last survey that took place here was in 1956.
04:49It summarizes fish that have been stocked from 1912 to 1956,
04:54and in that time they stocked rainbow trout, brook trout, brown trout.
04:58There have been a lot of fish stocked in this stream in the last hundred years.
05:02Some of them may be here, none of them may be here.
05:05I expect that we will at least catch brook trout,
05:09which is the local report of what's in here.
05:11The reason why we would shock upstream
05:13is that any turbidity that we cause and silt that we stir up
05:18will go behind us and it's clear upstream.
05:21And then also, as the fish are stunned,
05:24the current will just bring them right to us
05:26and right into our nets.
05:28I am going to use a backpack electroshocker.
05:30It is a standardized method for surveying fish throughout North America.
05:34It puts an electrical current into the water.
05:37It will briefly stun the fish.
05:39We can net them and measure them and go from there.
05:43I want to see if I can get something
05:47in the lowest part of this site.
05:51Hopefully I can catch it.
05:53We've been asked in the past,
05:55you know, why wouldn't we just net the fish or just net a few up?
05:58These are wild trout.
05:59And so they're really skittish and they're going to see us coming.
06:03Oh.
06:13They're all brown trout.
06:16Oh, there's a good one.
06:17We are catching brown trout.
06:19We expected brook trout here.
06:21That is a little bit surprising.
06:22It's already a species that I did not think we were going to catch.
06:26They're wild here.
06:27They're established.
06:28We caught multiple age classes.
06:30So we know that they're surviving over generations.
06:34But it's really cool because now there's another species
06:37that anglers could potentially come and catch in one stream.
06:41There isn't any size limit on these trout.
06:43This creek is three trout.
06:46In general, small streams, wild trout,
06:48they're not going to be giant fish that you would get in a big river
06:51or like a lake.
06:55If we caught it like an eight or ten inch fish,
06:57that would be a really big fish for this stream.
07:04Okay.
07:05There's one by your foot.
07:08Fish?
07:09I guess it.
07:12Did you get them?
07:13Yeah.
07:17220.
07:21I know that brook trout are like some people's favorite pastime
07:24from childhood, but it's also nice to have a place
07:26with something different like brown trout.
07:37Oh.
07:38Oh.
07:41A little water in the boots, it's okay.
07:45Whoa, jeez!
07:48This is amazing!
07:57We did about a mile loop up there.
08:00Wasn't able to see anything.
08:02Glassed up some of the cliff faces and things just in case he'd fallen.
08:08Yeah, it was definitely good to get in there and just do a preliminary search and see if we found
08:12any footprints.
08:13I'm going to do a little more research and see if we can come up with something to really narrow
08:18down who we're looking for.
08:23The mystery remains unsolved.
08:30You see that smoke coming up?
08:32So this is the Pony Springs fire station.
08:35I can pull in here real quick and see if they can fill me in on where that fire is
08:40at.
08:44Looks like they're gone.
08:46They're probably outside in that fire.
08:50I know the rancher out there, so I'm going to give him a call and see if he's all right.
09:03I'm looking over there from Highway 93.
09:06It looks like there's some smoke out by your guys' area.
09:09Have you guys got a fire out there?
09:11Yeah, I can see the smoke out the door.
09:14Is it making you nervous?
09:16It is now, but I walked outside.
09:19I didn't see it just like 10 minutes ago when I walked out the door, so it's pretty quick.
09:26All right.
09:27Call me if you need anything.
09:28I'm going to make sure BLM knows about it.
09:30Okay, that would be awesome.
09:32Call me back if you guys need anything.
09:34Okay.
09:35Be safe.
09:37So this fire sounds like it could be threatening a ranch that I have, a really close, I mean, friends
09:46that border on family out there.
09:48It makes it a little bit personal, but also it's a public safety issue, so we're about 40 miles from
09:53it.
09:53Let's see if it's threatening any structures.
09:55I'm going to call the Bureau of Land Management and just make sure they got fire crews that know about
10:01it and they're responding.
10:03You get these really dry summers and then these storm systems that roll through and lightning strikes and a lot
10:11of this country goes up.
10:12It's like a tinderbox.
10:13I mean, you can see out there now, it's really starting to roll up above that mountain.
10:28I mean, you can see out there now, it's really starting to roll up above that mountain.
10:38Becky.
10:59That's the BLM Fire Dispatch Center out of Yealy.
11:03When we first saw it, five minutes, ten minutes ago, it was really wispy, and now it's billowing smoke.
11:13If I can get out here and help them locate the fire, get a GPS coordinate for them so they
11:19can get in there and respond quickly and get that fire under control.
11:24One minute you're working on finding a missing person and then the next you're heading into the mountains trying to
11:31find a wildfire.
11:42A little water in the boots.
11:43It's okay.
11:45Whoa!
11:48This is amazing!
11:55Oh my God.
11:56There's fish all around our feet.
12:00Insane.
12:01Brown trout are one of those species that can get really, really big in not very much water.
12:07That's not two feet of water.
12:09I mean, that might be a foot deep.
12:12Look at this fish.
12:14I mean, that is absolutely insane.
12:17And there were about four of these same size fish in that one spot.
12:22It's really amazing, and that's actually one of the special things about brown trout, is that in a small amount
12:27of water, they can grow really big.
12:31So, yeah, let's get to measuring.
12:33I definitely want a picture with that one.
12:34Yeah.
12:35When Connor wants a picture with a fish, it's special.
12:40Today was such a fun day.
12:42We got to walk around in some beautiful meadows, see some beautiful stream, beautiful fish.
12:47And so, that's going to be something that's really exciting for local anglers, and people may even come to this
12:52stream just for these fish.
13:06You know, we're still 10 miles from the Hermitage Ranch where my friends live.
13:12But the wind is blowing that direction.
13:15We got to be really careful when we get in there that we don't get in and get trapped in
13:19there.
13:20Especially on roads like this, you can get back on a road, and then the road, it can burn across,
13:25and then you're stuck back in an area.
13:27It's no good.
13:30Fires are a natural part of ecosystems.
13:34You can look on some of these mountainsides where it's burned 10 years ago, and that's where all the critters
13:39are.
13:39That's where the deer and the elk and the wild horses and things hang out because it's such great habitat,
13:44such good forage.
13:46So, there's pros and cons to fires.
13:48We worry about the ranches around here and the people that have property and the people that live around here.
13:56So, there's a truck coming this way.
13:58It might be Jim from the Hermitage.
14:02How's it going, Jim?
14:03Howdy, howdy.
14:04How many acres are we looking at?
14:06All right, they hiked up and put one of the hot spots out up on Coyote's side, right at the
14:12Y between Coyote and Miller.
14:14It's crossed the road this side of the water springs, and it's already going up.
14:18If it crests over with this wind, it's going to go all the way through with McCullough.
14:21The way it's looking, I would get out.
14:24Well, the wind's blowing that direction.
14:26Yep.
14:26And if it comes over that lip with this wind coming down from that face, all of that's gone.
14:31Yeah.
14:32So, this fire is in an area where it could burn into where people live.
14:38The problem is that there's other fires going on throughout the state and throughout the west, so resources are cut
14:44really thin right now.
14:46Nice to meet you.
14:47Nice to meet you.
14:47We'll see you guys.
14:48Be safe, man.
14:54So, we're going to maintain our distance from it, just try to get a better idea of its size, from
15:03which direction it's headed.
15:08I think this is about as close as we're going to get.
15:24Look at this guy.
15:26It's very comforting to see these planes overhead, because I know these are the smokejumpers.
15:32These are the best of the best.
15:33These are the Navy SEALs of the firefighting world that are dropping in, and they're going to be able to
15:38figure out what to do on this fire,
15:39and what resources are going to be needed going forward.
15:53I'm watching these guys coming down, and there's fire all around us, and there's not great places for them to
16:00land.
16:00I'm going to be there to make sure that if they're landing in spots, I can help them out.
16:24I'm watching these guys coming down, and there's fire all around us.
16:40You guys good?
16:41Yeah.
16:42Okay.
16:45He's good?
16:46He's good.
16:47Kitchens?
16:48Dude, that was terrifying.
16:50You guys came down fast.
17:03One ferry!
17:15Along with them dropping out of the planes, they're dropping the tools that they use to fight fires, shovels, rakes,
17:23Pulaski's.
17:24Pulaski's are a combination, pickaxe, shovel, rake.
17:28It's a really unique tool that firefighters use to fight wildland fire.
17:40How's it going, man?
17:41How are you?
17:42Good.
17:42Was that pretty scary coming down?
17:44That's one of the, that was bad air.
17:46Was it?
17:46Yeah, that's not how it's supposed to go.
17:48Yeah, you guys, I was like, they're coming down fast.
17:52That thunder cell parked overhead and it pushes air down.
17:57And you guys aren't supposed to go in the trees, right?
17:59No.
18:00No.
18:01No.
18:01Well, I'm glad everybody's okay.
18:03Yeah, me too.
18:04Right on.
18:04Thanks.
18:06These smokejumpers, they had a rough landing on the way down.
18:11They usually are always able to get it under control in one way or another.
18:15But this wind, it's pretty threatening.
18:19These embers that are falling on us right now, we should get out of here.
18:27You can see that tree on fire right there.
18:39How's it going, Jim?
18:40Howdy, howdy.
18:41These smokejumpers, about eight of them just jumped in.
18:43Hassan.
18:44So.
18:45They're sending helicopters out, but they're probably going to want me to be with
18:48both water bumpers going their trucks up.
18:51Ask them if they want to utilize it.
18:52There's a couple right up here.
18:56So the firemen have asked them to bring that 400 gallons down there.
19:18They're in the fire.
19:19The firemen are going to be in the fire, though.
19:19Good. How are you guys?
19:21How's it looking?
19:22Not good.
19:23Not good.
19:24How many guys you guys got on it now?
19:2870.
19:29Probably 200 more on hold.
19:33All right, be safe.
19:36He's a part of the local BLM fire crew.
19:42Sounds like they don't have it anywhere under control.
20:02It's surreal.
20:04To put it in perspective, this looks devastating, but fire cycles are natural.
20:11That mountainside, and we just drove over the top of that mountain, burned 15 years ago, and it's incredible habitat.
20:19Animals are really resilient.
20:21And the good thing is that BLM's on it.
20:24The guys that know what they're doing are up there fighting it, so I'm going to take off.
20:45Are you calling Bullhead and telling them that you're on the water?
20:48Yeah.
20:49Okay.
20:51All right, I'm going to head south.
20:53Christopher Walther, game warden lieutenant.
20:55Today I'll be working with game warden Cavazos.
20:58He's a fairly new warden.
21:00For a new warden to have the opportunity to work in this environment, the experience is invaluable.
21:06We're going to be on separate patrol boats, but if something does occur, then he's very close where I can
21:11either assist him or he can assist me.
21:15Is that?
21:16Oh, that's on land.
21:20Reno, 3411.
21:223411, I just took from a bullhead to the officer who states that there's an accident by North Davis Camp.
21:28Would you be able to head that way?
21:30At 10-4.
21:32Myself, 3416, we'll be counting on the water.
21:34We'll head up there.
21:35Hear that?
21:36Yeah, North Davis Camp.
21:37Yeah, let's head up there.
21:44The Colorado River in Laughlin is always busy.
21:47We launch the boats usually sometime late morning, and we are usually not surprised if we have an incident occur
21:53right as we launch.
21:59Two PwC collided with injuries.
22:02Unknown extensive injuries.
22:04Since where I got visual, I have two ambulances on scene.
22:07You can show me.
22:10When the call comes over radio of a PwC incident, a PwC is also known as a personal watercraft or
22:17a jet ski.
22:18There's not a lot of protection for those occupants on those vessels, so the first thing that runs through our
22:23mind is, okay, how bad are the injuries going to be in this incident?
22:40Hey, is he involved?
22:42Okay, don't go anywhere.
22:44I need to get a statement from you.
22:45Who's involved?
22:50This guy right here?
22:53Come here.
22:54Okay, what happened?
22:58Okay.
23:00Okay.
23:01Go to the ambulance.
23:02See if we get information from the individual in the ambulance.
23:04Okay.
23:05Get the extent of his injuries.
23:06Do you have your ID handy?
23:07Yeah.
23:08Go get your ID, okay?
23:09Is that the ski right there?
23:11Yeah.
23:11That's your ski?
23:14When we approach an incident like this, we look at the damage that has occurred, a quick witness account of
23:20who was doing what and where they were at.
23:23Where did he hit you?
23:26Okay, where on here?
23:27Show me.
23:31Because they're fast on the front with me.
23:33Okay.
23:35In their side of the story, one ski was crossing while the other ski was going upriver.
23:42How fast do you think you were going?
23:44Like 10 because I go with my kids.
23:4710 miles per hour?
23:47Yeah.
23:48Your son was on here?
23:49Your boy or girl?
23:50My son.
23:50Where's he at?
23:52He's coming.
23:54Is he okay?
23:54Is he okay?
23:54Yeah, he's okay.
23:55Okay.
23:56All right, just hang tight.
23:57Don't go anywhere.
23:59So I got that ski over there.
24:01I got his contract, his ID.
24:03This is the other ski here.
24:04We need to run that.
24:06My other guy's getting information from the two victims, apparently that are both juveniles and the ambulances.
24:12Okay.
24:12Just need to know the extent of their injuries and as much contact information as possible.
24:16If you want to help him with that, see what he's done.
24:18Okay.
24:22Reno, 3411 Drive.
24:24This will be Arizona 342.
24:293411, clear, correct.
24:312010, the body name.
24:35Shelly, here's what 11 inches in length to a...
24:37Why are you at this ski?
24:39Huh?
24:39Do you own this?
24:52Is it a rental?
24:54No.
24:55Okay.
24:56Just do me a favor.
24:56Just get back a second, all right?
24:58I got to get some pictures.
25:00Reno, 3411.
25:04What do you have from the juveniles?
25:08One's on top.
25:09Those are two victims.
25:10Any extent of injuries at this point?
25:12No, no extent of injuries.
25:14Okay.
25:15Hold on to that.
25:23Habla ingles?
25:24Yeah.
25:24So this is your ski?
25:25Yeah.
25:25Do you have the paperwork on it?
25:26Yeah.
25:28Who is operating this?
25:30Your cousin?
25:32Okay.
25:33Do you write English well?
25:35No, not very well.
25:36Not very well?
25:37No.
25:37What's up, bud?
25:38What's your name?
25:39Can you write me a witness statement?
25:41Or just have your dad?
25:43Okay.
25:44So I'm going to get you a piece of paper,
25:46and I'm going to have him tell you exactly what happened,
25:49and you just write it down.
25:50All right.
25:50Copy that?
25:51Yes.
25:51All right.
25:52Hang tight for me.
25:56It's a PwC on PwC incident.
25:59Looks like a T-bone, most likely.
26:01One individual, he remained on scene.
26:03Usually they just take off.
26:05It seems like a pretty simple just miscommunication
26:08of what the other ski was doing.
26:10Obviously, one ski's at fault, one ski's at hot.
26:12So we're just trying to figure out what exactly happened.
26:14He was riding with you?
26:16This one?
26:17You?
26:17Come here.
26:18How old are you?
26:20Okay.
26:21And your dad was operating?
26:22How fast do you think he was going?
26:2616 miles per hour?
26:28Okay.
26:33Okay, so they were doing circles?
26:37Okay.
26:38So in your experience, whose fault do you think it was?
27:05So yesterday, I got a call from our dispatch.
27:09Some people that had called in said that they had hit a hawk on the interstate out here just east
27:14of Elko.
27:14So I met up with these folks, and his wings were still kind of stuck out of the grill, and
27:18so were his talons, his feet.
27:21And his head, and his head were still kind of still kind of out the little hole that he went
27:25through in the grill.
27:27You know, when they hit him, you know, when they hit him, it just broke a hole small enough for
27:30his body to actually go through, which was amazing to me that he was still alive.
27:34I took and I broke a bunch of this plastic grill off to where I was able to pull him
27:40out of there, and it looks to me to be a Cooper's Hawk.
27:44He was able to puncture holes through the gloves that I was wearing, and actually got me on the thumb
27:50with one of his talons.
27:51Are you going to be nice to me today?
28:05Got a hold of my fingers pretty good with his talons.
28:08It's always the talons and always the wings that they check just to make sure that they have full functionality
28:13of them.
28:14That's what they use to hunt.
28:16His talons still work good.
28:18This wing, it's still functioning really good.
28:20They'll put them wings out, and they'll try to make themselves really big.
28:24His left wing is the one that I'm more concerned about.
28:27I think that one's the one that took the most of the damage.
28:30And I can't feel any broken bones inside there at all.
28:33We'll take him out to Spring Creek to a place out here that's got water and trees and release him
28:40out there, and hopefully it'll survive.
28:49He's got plenty of fight.
28:51A good sign pointing towards a positive thing for him.
29:19I'm just going to put him over closer to the stream.
29:21That way he's got a little bit of water right there.
29:24And hopefully he'll be able to shade up and recover a little bit easier over here.
29:36I feel a lot better with him being kind of underneath that tree.
29:39And right here by both of these little streams, at least he'll have constant water right in there.
29:45And there's going to be plenty of food here, and it's going to be a quiet area for it to
29:49be able to just kind of relax, recuperate, and hopefully take off and fly.
30:01Isn't it?
30:04Yeah, it sounds good, Jason.
30:07I'll head that way and see what we can come up with.
30:11Thanks.
30:12I appreciate it.
30:13Bye.
30:17I just received a call from a landowner telling me that he found a dead elk on his property.
30:21He can kind of see some holes in the hide, but he's not certain if it's been shot or not.
30:28If it's a bull elk, there's a potential somebody could have poached it, and maybe they're leaving it there, and
30:33they're going to try to come back and get the head at a later time.
30:37Or maybe it died of natural causes.
30:52Hi, here.
30:54I've never seen an elk as big, and it had to be a shot.
30:58Man, what a shame.
30:59Oh, yeah.
31:01Look at how big the feet are.
31:03Yeah.
31:03What do you think about a bull?
31:06It's big enough that it could be an exit wound.
31:10A lot of times, whenever something dies, you know, and the birds start picking at it, they'll usually go for
31:15a spot that, you know, a soft spot.
31:17If there was a bullet hole there, that very easily could be, you know, a spot where they would have
31:23picked around, you know, picking into there.
31:25If I find out that this elk has been shot, it's potentially a felony unlawful harvest of a big game
31:31mammal.
31:31They could also have been hunting on private property without landowner permission and the waste of a big game.
31:38That's a pretty big violation.
31:40They have to come clear it because our copper line is on top.
31:43On the top of that ridge?
31:45Okay.
31:45And you did hear shooting back up here about a month ago.
31:49Unshot.
31:50That is crazy.
31:59And you did hear shooting back up here about a month ago.
32:03About a month ago.
32:03Unshot.
32:04That is crazy.
32:06I just can't believe that nothing's touched him.
32:08That's what's crazy to me.
32:10It makes you wonder if there's something that it actually did ingest that was toxic.
32:15Directionality-wise, it looks like he was walking this way to a little bit thicker tree cover, possibly to lay
32:21down.
32:22Pretty good hole in the front end of it.
32:24I'll just run the metal detector over and see what we come up with.
32:27If it ends up being something that somebody shot, we'll definitely see what we can come up with because this
32:32is a shame.
32:34All right.
32:35Well, we're going to do your thing.
32:37I see a couple of holes in this elk.
32:39It's been laying here for quite a while.
32:41I'm going to get my metal detector out, see if I can't find, you know, bullet fragments, a possible bullet
32:49laying somewhere close to the elk.
32:51Maybe the birds have picked through it and they were able to find the bullet.
32:54And a lot of times, if they do, they'll spit it out really pretty close to the carcass.
32:58If somebody was to shoot an animal, a lot of times they're going to try to shoot it to kill
33:02it.
33:04So most likely your bullet, you know, if you do have a bullet in there, you're going to either recover
33:09it, you know, in that ribcage area.
33:12A lot of times they're going to be trying to shoot for vitals.
33:15Sometimes you'll get false hits on some of this stuff too.
33:18So I'd always end up getting like a false hit off of a femur bone.
33:21It seems like these larger bone structures.
33:29I'm not getting anything there at all.
33:33I'm not getting any hits.
33:55It's getting a hit a few times right in here.
33:57I think it's just a false hit.
33:58But what I'm doing right now is I'm peeling this layer back.
34:01I'll run the metal detector over it again to make sure that it was just that, a false hit.
34:13It can be relatively safe to say that there's nothing there.
34:16You can see that this bull had a ton of rumen and hardly any of it is digested,
34:23which makes me think that there was possibly something that he ingested that triggered his brain to make him think
34:29that he wasn't getting enough food.
34:32And like he wasn't digesting it at all and just basically gorged himself to death almost.
34:38I'm not getting any hits with the metal detector.
34:40I'm not seeing any broken bones.
34:43Can't completely rule it out, but I can almost say with 95% confidence that this elk died of natural
34:49causes versus being shot.
34:52I think we'll leave it at that and tell the biologists where it's at if they want to come out
34:56and take a look at it.
35:09This is Nick.
35:10Hey, Nick, what's going on?
35:11Hey, not a whole lot.
35:12What's happening, Matt?
35:13You got a dead bull up over there.
35:15Yeah, there's a dead bull up here on Cronin's property.
35:18Do you want me to take any sample of the rumen?
35:21You know, if it's not too gross.
35:23Yeah, it's not bad, Matt.
35:24I mean, it's a little bit wet, but I can take it.
35:26You cut a femur and the head off, that'd be great.
35:29Because the head of the femur can harbor some bacteria.
35:31That's not a problem, Matt.
35:32I can go back up there and cut the head off, and I can cut you a section of femur
35:37out and get you a sample.
35:39Yeah, perfect.
35:40These dang elk, we've got to figure this stuff out.
35:42Perfect.
35:43I really appreciate it.
35:44Thanks.
35:44Yep, not a problem, Matt.
35:45All right.
35:46All right.
35:46Bye.
35:47It's good for the biologist to be able to get samples like this.
35:50I mean, maybe he knows of an outbreak of larkspur.
35:54Larkspur is toxic to elk.
35:56He's going to be able to get these samples into the wildlife lab, and they'll be able to get the
36:00results back to him.
36:02And then he'll be able to know what it is that he's looking at.
36:04With the samples that we got and the samples they got from that cow, we could get a little bit
36:07closer to finding an answer of what's killing these elk here.
36:23Who's spot do you think it was?
36:25I think it was them, because we were going, like, everywhere.
36:28Just straight?
36:30Okay, were you scared?
36:32Yeah.
36:32Do you have your life jacket on?
36:34Yeah, I'm going to get over there.
36:35Okay.
36:36All right, man.
36:36What grade are you going into?
36:37You get a six?
36:38What do you want to do when you grow up?
36:41No, come on.
36:42You're just saying that, because I'm here.
36:43No, because I'm not my one, and I'm out of the gun.
36:46Okay, good.
36:48So the rest of the day, you tell your dad to be careful, huh?
36:51Okay.
36:53How was his witness statement?
36:55His statement was, the cousin and brother on the ski.
36:58Yep.
36:59They were going up this way, circled back.
37:02Uh-huh.
37:03Then they were on the other side of the river, about to come over here to park the ski.
37:06Okay.
37:06The other ski was coming upriver, and they turned to port.
37:09Yeah, that's how.
37:11When an individual who's operating a PwC is at fault for an incident, in some instances,
37:16they will receive a citation for a violation of the rules of the road or a Coast Guard navigable rule.
37:20If we find that we can't really determine who is at fault, usually those issues will be resolved via civil
37:27court,
37:27and or they'll have to deal with the rental company for damage to the PwC that occurred.
37:32We're going to have to take a ride over to the hospital and get as much information from every side
37:37as possible
37:37in order to do a thorough, complete investigation.
37:39We're going to head back out on patrol now.
37:52Hey!
37:52Hey!
37:52Hey!
37:52Hey!
37:52Hey!
38:09Hey, get out of the way, get out of the way, hey, hey, hey, get out of the way.
38:30Ma'am, yeah, we got it, you got a life jacket on, right, okay, so you're good, relax, okay.
38:37Nepal, come tie up on my port side, ma'am, ma'am, just relax, just relax, okay, we're going
38:42to help you, all right.
38:44To be floating in the Colorado River is, it's quite dangerous, even if you have a life jacket
38:49on, there's so much chop sometimes that they may not see you bobbing up and down, and you
38:54could potentially get run over by a PwC.
38:57I want you to turn around and hold on to my boat, okay?
39:00Give me your hand, okay?
39:06Reno, 34-23, Jay.
39:16Reno, 34-11, dry.
39:37The current is usually six to eight miles per hour.
39:39For operators who don't have a lot of experience on a PwC, if they end up stopping and getting
39:46turned sideways in that current, it will usually throw off their center of gravity and they'll
39:50bounce and they'll fall over the water.
39:51So a lot of our day is spent picking up people and or overturning PwCs that they have fallen
39:57off of.
39:57So it's just part of the job that we do and does happen quite frequently.
40:0734-11, can you confirm which subject is code 4 and if there's any specific equipment they'll
40:12need to bring?
40:14That's up right now, code 4.
40:16Just make sure she's trying to get them in.
40:26Just float.
40:27Just float down.
40:35Here I am, just go to shore.
40:46So what happened?
40:48Let's see break this real quick.
40:50So he fell off the ski and so I went over there to help him out.
40:55Yeah.
40:56You know, I was trying to just talk him through getting on the ladder, but she wasn't, she wasn't
41:00able to get on the ladder.
41:02That's when you kind of showed up.
41:03Okay.
41:04We could have gotten her on if she helped.
41:07Yeah.
41:07She was not healthy.
41:09She wasn't holding my hand.
41:10Any day in Laughlin, incidents are going to occur, but as long as we're out there and
41:16we're trying to help the public and enforce recreational boating safety, I mean, that's all
41:20you can do.
41:21Crisis avoided.
41:2219th birthday.
41:2419th birthday.
41:4222nd.
