Narrator: AFTER THREE DAYS
OF MOOSE HUNTING,

OLIVER AND EVAN
HAVE COME UP EMPTY.

AND IT'S ALREADY RAINING.

THE WEATHER IS [BLEEP]
RIGHT NOW.

IT'S JUST A STEADY DRIZZLE,

SO IT'S PROBABLY AROUND
1:00 OR 2:00 THIS MORNING.

I GOT A LOT OF MY
SLEEPING BAG SOAKED,

AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE
THE WATER SHEETING OFF OF IT.

MY BAGS ARE BOTH
COMPLETELY SOAKED.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT TODAY?

TO BE QUITE HONEST,
WITH IT STILL RAINING ON US,

YOU KNOW,
WE'VE JUST GOT TO GO.

STAYING ONE MORE NIGHT,
YOU COULD HUNT OR DO WHATEVER.

YEAH, NO, IT'S -- WE HAVEN'T
SEEN LITERALLY ANY MOOSE.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING.

WHATEVER.

Oliver: MOOSE HUNTING
IS NEW TO ME.

AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY MOOSE,

BUT I DID SEE LOTS OF BEAVER
WHICH I THOUGHT,

YOU KNOW,
I AM A BEAVER TRAPPER

AND I'VE HAD SUCCESS
IN TRAPPING THEM BEFORE.

SO I FEEL LIKE I'M DOING
BETTER HERE

IF I COULD GO BACK
WITH SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS ONE
OF THE BEST PLACES

I'VE EVER SEEN
FOR BEAVER TRAPPING.

YEAH.

WHEN I WANT TO PACK UP,

I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE
TO PACK UP WITH,

YOU KNOW, SOME BEAVER BAIT
OR WHATEVER TO SET BACK.

I MEAN, I WAS THINKING
ABOUT STAYING.

WE TOLD ANDREW WE'D BE BACK
IN THREE DAYS.

I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE HE WANTS TO
LEAVE IN [BLEEP] THREE DAYS.

"WELL, IN THE THREE DAYS,
WE COME BACK."

NAH. IT DOESN'T WORK.

THAT DOESN'T WORK.

BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING BACK
EMPTY HANDED.

I THINK ANDREW'S
GOOD WITH THIS.

HAVE YOU MANAGED SOME WAY
TO TALK TO HIM?

OF COURSE,

YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE

CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

I COULD STAY HERE EASILY

SO IT JUST SEEMS LIKE
A NOT OPTIMAL CHOICE

GO OUT AND FIND A MOOSE.
