  • Manitoba moose crisis

    Great last podcast on moose crisis in Manitoba. Thanks for all the information and non biased opinion. I am a Manitoba resident. Podcast all Canadians should listen to whether you are a hunter or not. So many issues to try and solve and unfortunately the main issues at the heart of it are not what is being dealt with by both sides.

Lessons From The Field: A Career Investigating Predator Attacks || HC Podcast || Ep. 167

Lessons From The Field: A Career Investigating Predator Attacks || HC Podcast || Ep. 167
Q: What does a modern predator attack investigation look like from call to conclusion?
It begins with a rapid risk assessment, assembling a coordinated response with trained officers, canine units, and field protocols. Investigators gather evidence, assess public safety risk, and determine whether to mitigate or remove the animal, while coordinating with other agencies and managing media narratives to keep the community informed.
Bear Spray: 98% Effective or Placebo? || Project Grizzly Balance || Ep. 8
Q: How does the guest describe bear spray's efficacy compared to firearms in real-world encounters?
The guest argues that bear spray's real-world effectiveness is often overstated due to study design and reporting biases, and that when comparing like-for-like scenarios, firearms tend to outperform bear spray in stopping a bear, though he stresses the need for proper training and caution rather than overreliance on any one tool.
