In this Episode (192) of Hunt Talk Radio Randy shares a mic with Jim Heffelfinger,  a member of the Mexican Recovery Team and Wildlife & Science Coordinator for Arizona Game & Fish.  Topics covered include the history of Mexican wolves in the southwest, history of the recovery efforts, and status of recovery.  Any Endangered Species issue requires discussion of the Endangered Species Act, the struggle between politics and science. We explore the likelihood of recovery, the impacts Colorado gray wolves could have on Mexican wolves. and a wrap up of the status of mule deer and blacktail deer based on Jim's projects with the Association of Western Fish & Wildlife Agencies.

The pronghorn antelope has long been a graceful symbol of the West, a beautiful representation of freedom and elegance as it sprints across the open grassland. Along with the Arizona Game & Fish Department and others, Babbitt Ranches has been studying, monitoring and taking action to maintain the pronghorn and their habitat.

Consistent with the idea of this show, this episode is all about learning about the wild game we hunt.

Hank Shaw's podcast Hunt Gather Talk, Season Two premieres with an episode all about squirrels with Arizona Game & Fish biologist Johnathan O'Dell. 

MDF Podcast - Talking Mule Deer with Steve Belinda and Jodi Stemler S2 E28 -Talking Arizona with Jim Heffelfinger and Jake Jaeger This week we’re talking with Arizona Game & Fish Department’s Jim Heffelfinger and the MDF cooperative wildlife biologist, Jake Jaeger. First, we get an introduction to Jake who is working with Arizona Game & Fish helping with mule deer conservation through a partnership with the Mule Deer Foundation. Jake and Jim then talk about how Arizona is a different place due to the boom and bust water cycles in the state. Jim tells us a little bit about how most of the state’s mule deer populations are not traditional migrants (except for those on the Kaibab Plateau in the Arizona Strip) but still move across the landscapes seasonally to access food and water. We also hear about the Arizona governor’s tags that are used to generate funding for conservation – 100% of which goes back to the state for habitat restoration projects through the Habitat Partnership Committee. Jim tells us about the three research priority projects collaring deer to learn more about migration patterns associated with highway development and learning the movements of a herd in a known high elevation summer range. We wrap up with talking about how habitat improvements are making a huge impact on herd health which has been shown by GPS movement data showing use of restored habitats and avoidance of areas that weren’t treated.

Amy Burnett of Arizona Game & Fish discuss the over 800 species of wildlife in Arizona and the many watchable wildlife events happening around the state.  And our Staycation of the month in Payson, AZ.
