Where did you settle, and then move into your outdoors, outdoor, uh, hobbies?
51:28
Well, so I had, I guess from the age of 23, when I joined the Army, until, um, I guess 30.
51:41
So there was a, a stretch there of about seven, eight years where I didn't hunt.
51:46
Um, I had, uh...
51:49
So first when I joined the Army, obviously I was living in barracks.
51:51
I couldn't have a shotgun in barracks and, and all that stuff, and I didn't have, I didn't have places to go or anything, and I was more interested in drinking and, and chasing girls, to be honest with you.

Um, and then I came back from Afghanistan in '07, and I was living in New Brunswick at the time.

So by the time I get there in September, it's dried up because it was a dry summer or the farmers filled it in and has planted crop on it.

But Saskatchewan is losing habitat.
