I am a hunter. I like to go hunting. My favorite animal to hunt is deer. Deer are over populated and that concerns me. I am generally concerned about wildlife.
Speaker 2
I love pets and have 2 dogs. I work at the mall near my home. I have a house that is not yet finished. I am looking for a furniture shop to buy furniture. I love grilling steak and hotdogs.
Speaker 1
I live in the south. My job is outside. My favorite animal to hunt is deer. I also help the local environment.
Speaker 2
I don't like hunting. I'm an animal lover. I have 2 dogs. I love cooking steak and hot dogs. I work in a mall. I'm working on furnishing my home. I don't get out much. I live near my workplace.
Speaker 1
Hey there what are your thoughts on hunting?
Speaker 2
I don't hunt. I have 2 dogs. I think pets are great. Hru?
Speaker 1
Actually one of my hobbies is to hunt, deer specifically.
Speaker 2
That's cool. I love bbqing steaks and hot dogs. Wehere do you live?
Speaker 1
I live in the south, deers are overpopulated down here.
Speaker 2
Good for a hunter then. I live in a house that needs finishing still.
Speaker 1
Oh, are you able to fix it yourself?
Speaker 2
No. Although I'm also looking for furniture for it. Good I work in a mall.
Speaker 1
Yeah that will be helpful, I work outdoors so wildlife is my main concern.
Speaker 2
Do you help wildlife too or just hunt it?.
Speaker 1
Both, deer is my favorite/only animal I hunt, but I am helpful to environment.
Speaker 2
That's good then. I don't get out of town much. My house is by the mall though.
Speaker 1
That helps to be more central. I hope you have a great day.
Speaker 2
Yeah exactly. Tacks. You have a great day too. Take care.

Speaker 1
Did you finish furnishing your house?
Speaker 2
Not yet. I have decided to redo some old furniture myself. It is time consuming but the results in the end are worth it.
Speaker 1
Sounds like you're enjoying the hard work refurninishing your house. Send me some pictures when you're done! I'd love to see
Speaker 2
Oh I am taking tons of pictures and putting them out on social media. It is so time consuming that is about the only way to show people what I am doing. What have you been up to?
Speaker 1
Just enjoying the great outdoors, loving working as a forest ranger!
Speaker 2
That has to be a rewarding job. What is your day to day like? Have you ever caught any poachers?
Speaker 1
Haha nothing too exciting, most days it's just me patrolling the woods alone, reporting on any fallen trees blocking trails and things like that. 
Speaker 2
That is still fun. I wouldnt mind going out on the trails one day. I am sure there is plenty of wildlife to see. 
Speaker 1
You'd definitely enjoy it, you could even take your dogs with you!
Speaker 2
I imagine they would have a blast. I may have trouble keeping them from running everywhere and sniffing everything! I need to find out when hunting season is though so I can avoid that.

I live in the south. My favorite animal to hunt is deer. I also help the local environment. My job is outside. I enjoy the great outdoors working as a forest ranger. My job is not very exciting. I patrol the woods and report blockd trails.
Speaker 2
I don't like hunting. I'm an animal lover. I have 2 dogs. I love cooking steak and hot dogs. I work in a mall. I don't get out much. I live near my workplace. I am redoing some old furniture in my house. I am taking pictures of the furniture refinishing and putting them out on social media. I would like to walk trails an see wildlife. My dogs would enjoy the woods. I would not like to be in the woods during hunting season.
Speaker 1
What is the most successful thing you have refinished so far? 
Speaker 2
I just finished refinishing an old dresser with a lot of decorative carving and nine drawers (two of them behind cabinet-type doors. It was pretty difficult because of all the carving and all the different pueces,
Speaker 1
Wow. That sounds really cool. Let me know once you post them on social media. Hopefully the viewers can appreciate you effort and dedication. Have you ever considered turning it into a business?
Speaker 2
I will definitely let you know once I post them, which I plan to do soon. I've throught about trying to maybe do a side business with it. I get a lot of good comments when I post my pictures. So, you said your job is not very exciting. Do you at least get to see wild animals sometimes as you patrol?
Speaker 1
Mainly eagles and hawks. I think the animals kind of know to stay away from the trails. Sometimes they're more scared of us than we are of them. Every now and then I'll notice a bear or moose from a distance, but luckily not too close for comfort.
Speaker 2
HaHa. Yeah, I wouldn't want to meet a bear up close. That's cool that you occasionally see some animals though. And yes, I agree that animals are quite intelligent overall. You also previously said you help the local environment. What kinds of things do you do to help?
Speaker 1
A lot of it is just getting rid of hazards in the park. People can be real slobs and irresponsible some times. Some of my hunting is because of animals overpopulating certain areas.
Speaker 2
That's cool that you help clean up after people. I hate it when I go to someplace and it's full of trash! And yeah, I can see that hunting to reduce overpopulation could be good thing for the environment. When is the last time you went hunting?
Speaker 1
A couple of months ago. I figure it's better to get some meat myself than pay a grocery store and agribusiness for it. Do the dogs ever bug you for steak?
Speaker 2
Oh, yes! My dogs are good beggars--and they probably get more table scraps than they should! Do you process the deer meat yourself?
Speaker 1
Usually, yes. I've got a guy for that just in case as a backup. I bet it's hard to say no to those dogs.
Speaker 2
That's good that you can usually do it yourself and save some money. Yes, it's very hard to say no to them!

I live in the south. My favorite animal to hunt is deer. I also help the local environment. I enjoy the great outdoors working as a forest ranger. My job is not very exciting. I patrol the woods and report blockd trails where I get to see a lot of wild animals, particularly birds. My job involves me patrolling trails. Part of my job involves getting rid of hazards. I work in a park. I hunt on occasion because of overpopulation of certain animals. I help clean up after people. The last time I went hunting was a couple of months ago. I prefer to hunt for my own meat over going to a grocery store for it. I process my own deer meat. I know someone who can process deer meat for me.

I am redoing some old furniture in my house. I am taking pictures of the furniture refinishing and putting them out on social media. I would like to walk trails an see wildlife. My dogs would enjoy the woods. I would not like to be in the woods during hunting season. I am skilled in cabinetry-type work. I post about my work on my social media accounts. I am considering starting a side business in refinishing old furniture. My work gets positive reviews from other people. I would not want to be close to a bear. I think animals are intelligent. I like clean spaces. I do not like spaces that are full of trash. I feed my dogs table scraps.
Speaker 1
I just got back from work, and I saw the most beautiful bird of prey. I think it was some kind of eagle. I couldn't see it up close because it wouldn't get near me, and I was afraid to scare it off by getting too close. I haven't seen a bird like that in this park before. I think I might research it to see what kind of bird it was.
Speaker 2
Do you remember what the colors of the feathers and the size of the bird? I feel like that would be important to identifying it effectively.
Speaker 1
Yes it was a deep brown color, with speckled gold in its wings. The wing span looked to be close to 6 feet, that was why I was thinking it much be a type of eagle, rather than a hawk. I bet your dogs would have gone crazy barking if they'd seen it while walking a trail. Does that ever happen - the dogs scare away wildlife? 
Speaker 2
All the time. The oldest one has gotten better at understanding what to bark at versus what not to bark at and that has helped train the other dogs. Maybe they will be able to keep me safe from a bear with a bit of training! Do you have a book for identifying that bird? I have a Petersons field guide here that I could bring over.  
Speaker 1
That's great about your oldest dog! Dogs are wonderful to have while hiking! Wildlife can smell them from quite a distance, and they tend to stay away because of them. The only negative thing is that you may not get to see all the wildlife in a park when you have dogs with you though. It's a toss-up! I did have a bird identification book somewhere, but I can't seem to find it now that I need it! lol I'd love to borrow your Petersons Field Guide! Thank you! So have you started selling your cabinetry yet?! I can't wait to get to see it!
Speaker 2
I have started to sell some of the cabinetry. The social media pictures that I have been taking have really gained some traction. It seems like tons of people are interested in buying. Would you be interested in some them by chance?  
Speaker 1
I would be very interested in a refinished high-back chair. If you ever come across something like that, please grab it and I will absolutely pay you to refinish it! If I were to find one I wanted, would I be able to send it to you to refinish for me? Or do you only do furniture you've found yourself? I (unfortunately) don't have any current need for new cabinets though....
Speaker 2
For you, I would do anything you requested. I generally do gems that I have found on my own but if you find something you really like we could certainly make it work. 
Speaker 1
You're the best - thanks so much!!! If there is ever a favor I can do for you - like dog-sitting perhaps - just let me know!
Speaker 2
I will if needed. I'm sure the dogs might even like to be around you since you like going outdoors and do hunting for your own meat. Although, I'm afraid the youngest would bark at everything and scare away your game.

Speaker 1
How are your dogs doing? The oldest one holding up?
Speaker 2
Taking it easy for right now, don't want to overdo them.
Speaker 1
I see. That sounds smart. Have you gotten any furniture in to refurbish lately? I may be in the market for a new hutch or some storage for the kitchen if you come across anything like that.
Speaker 2
I will definitely keep my eyes open for pieces you may be interested in. I'm in the middle of a large kitchen refurb at a home nearby, their kitchen is bigger than my entire place. lol
Speaker 1
Oh, man. That would make me jealous. I don't really care about having a big house over all, but I'd love a nice big chef's kitchen. I love to cook. Do you cook anything other than steak and hot dogs?
Speaker 2
I've been told I'm one of the best at boiling water...lmao! Any luck identifying the bird you saw yet?
Speaker 1
Not definitively. I'm wondering now if maybe it was an owl. It'd be a weird time of day for an owl to be out there, but I've looked at photos of every eagle I could find information about and none of the match, so on to owls. I wish I had a photo of the bird I saw. It was scary big but very majestic. 
Speaker 2
That's really cool. I hope you see it again. Maybe you could get a picture, perhaps.
Speaker 1
Yeah, I'm going to try to go back around the same time of day for a few days to see if I come across it or anything similar. 
Speaker 2
What would you prepare if you had the opportunity to cook in a large, well stocked kitchen?
Speaker 1
My favorite thing to make is chicken fettuccine alfredo. I don't usually like it when I order it from places, but the sauce recipe I came across years ago is amazing. I like the idea of a big kitchen because I'm a very messy cook and it's nice to have lots of clean surfaces to put things on to get out of my way.
Speaker 2
Lol, oh so true. In my perfect kitchen it always comes with someone to clean up after me!
