  • 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.
