Artwork for Wildlife for You

Latest Episodes

Daryl and Stephanne listen to audio clips from Old Man Johnson's recent field trip with Hashtag Hazel, and boy, do they have some doozy urban legends to dispel. We're willing to bet you heard of most of them... we just hope you don't believe them!

Daryl provides details on how he saved Stephanne from being run over by a full-on charging black bear. True story with real life blunders.

When it comes to bear safety, there is a debate on what is a better deterrent, bear spray or a gun. Stephanne and Daryl debate the pros and cons of each tool, and it appears to be much less of a debate after all.

Wildlife rehab is generally a good thing, but it's not without its own set of concerns. Stephanne and Daryl talk about some of those issues that most people don't consider. Don't worry, it's just something to think about.

Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 35 ratings
  • Won’t be listening again

    Listened to 399 Podcast and your description of the events during the capturing were not entirely factual. Also, at no time did you actual hit on ways people can save 399, just your opinion of the people who follow her.Also, the female host is not someone I would want to listen to again. Her snarky comments were a turn off to listen to.

  • Fix volume

    Great content!! But the male speaker is always too quiet and very hard to hear unless volume is maxed out (which then makes the female speaker way too loud)

  • Quality info, avoid the jokes

    Great information, but the attempts at humor are somewhat painful.
