Can't say Carl's.

I had this conversation the other day with a hunter, and he asked me if I could do five hunts before I die myself, and it had to be mountain hunts.
53:03
One of them would be for sure, without any doubt, Nepal for blue sheep.
53:09
That is top notch, top of the world, not just because of the mountain, it's in the heart of the Himalayas.
53:16
but the experience you're hunting in the mountains over 5,000 meters elevation which is 40,000 feet 16,000 feet with a group of 30 to 40 Sherpas carrying they take live chicken with them They take with you woods to make fire because you are hunting at such altitude, there's nothing to burn.
53:43
They carry everything you can think of.
53:47
And everything is around the hunter.

I assume those private landowners, what are those private landowners doing for wildlife? Are they, are they putting things in place for the habitat, for roe deer? What's going on there?
11:01
Well, absolutely.
11:02
I mean, and that could be obviously, uh, extrapolized or, or pr- or, or follow the example in, in the different species that we have in Spain.
11:11
At the moment, we have, we, we in Spain have 13 different, uh, hun- huntable big game species, uh, in each of them in, in various or different parts of the, uh, Spanish peninsula or the Spanish country.
11:24
And, and yes, you very well point out we have several ways to, to hunt in these places.
11:31
One is hunt privately, where we have, uh, private lo- landowners who actually take care of everything, and they put everything they have to try and g- um, uh, take care of those areas just, just for hunting.
11:48
I mean, if there was no hunting in these private places, uh, there would be no, no investment or no, or no conservation put into these places.

There's a huge economic generator, uh, that happens in these Spanish countrysides, right?
