  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tracking Alberta's Pronghorn || Ep. 7
Q: How is the project funded and what future plans are there to broaden the study?
Funding comes from a mix of Alberta Conservation Association, government funds, wildlife foundations, and collaborating nonprofits; future plans include expanding collars to bucks and continuing multi-year tracking to validate patterns across different winters and landscapes.
Tracking Alberta's Pronghorn || Ep. 7
Q: Why focus on females for the collaring study?
Females are the reproductive unit; their movement patterns drive population viability, while bucks, though important, show different risk and movement dynamics that the study plans to explore in later phases.
Tracking Alberta's Pronghorn || Ep. 7
Q: What makes pronghorn movement so important to study for conservation?
Their movements determine survival and genetic connectivity; migratory individuals have higher survival in some winters, and understanding these patterns helps identify where to place crossing structures and how to manage landscapes for multiple species.
Living With Grizzlies: An Alberta Rancher's Perspective || Ep. 6
Q: Do you think hunting could be used to manage grizzly populations in a smarter way than relocation?
Yes, she argues hunting could help stabilize densities by removing individuals that are more problematic or causing conflict, while stressing it must be managed for conservation and public safety rather than recreation or profit.
Living With Grizzlies: An Alberta Rancher's Perspective || Ep. 6
Q: What are your thoughts around lethal removal, hunting, your ability to manage things on your land?
She expresses cautious openness to lethal removal as a targeted tool and supports a regulated grizzly hunt if it serves safety and conservation goals, emphasizing a need for science-based limits and fairness rather than broad eradication.
