  • Fix the audio

    Please fix the unbalanced audio. You have one mic that’s clear and another sounds like the person is under water.

    Good enthusiasm, poor execution.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 131 - What Matters are Legislative Matters
Q: What is the current status of the drone hunting bill?
There are concerns about fair chase, part 107 licensing requirements, and future technology; the speakers stress checking for updates and forming informed opinions as the bill's status changes.
Episode 129 - Drill Down on CWD
Q: What management approaches can hunters take to reduce transmission?
Avoid moving carcasses across long distances, use proper disposal like dumpsters where available, encourage testing in known CWD areas, and consider targeted harvesting strategies to reduce deer density where transmission is high.
Episode 129 - Drill Down on CWD
Q: What are the testing options and how reliable are they?
USDA-approved tests typically include ELISA on lymph nodes and obex sampling; more sensitive methods like RT-QUIC or PMCA exist but are not always approved for routine testing; regional testing programs rely on head samples from taxidermists or meat processors.
Episode 129 - Drill Down on CWD
Q: How did CWD originate and spread through the landscape?
There are plausible theories including spillover from scrapie in sheep, spontaneous emergence, or introduction via captive deer facilities; movement of animals and materials without proper testing has historically contributed to spread.
Episode 129 - Drill Down on CWD
Q: What exactly is CWD and how does it affect animals?
CWD is a prion disease that causes brain deterioration in deer and related species, spreading via infected animals and the environment; prions are hard to kill, can persist in soil, and can be shed in bodily fluids, making transmission complex.
