From California's new firearm restrictions to reef fish recovery and deer disease alerts—this week's roundup covers it all. Host Fred Bird breaks down the latest hunting, fishing, and conservation headlines shaping the outdoor community. Broadcasting from deer camp in New Hampshire, Fred covers California's controversial Assembly Bill 1127, what many are calling a backdoor striker-fired handgun ban, and how it could jeopardize both firearm access and conservation funding nationwide. Then, in better news for anglers, the Gulf Council has voted to permanently implement Descend Act measures. Fred explains how descending devices and venting tools are helping to reduce barotrauma in deep-water reef fish, leading to healthier fisheries and more sustainable recreational fishing opportunities across the Gulf of Mexico. Rounding out the episode, Fred shares important updates on the menhaden harvest buffer rollback in Louisiana and CWD testing reminders across the Great Plains. Hunters will learn where testing is available, what new regulations to watch, and how staying informed helps protect deer herds for future seasons. Whether you're tracking policy, chasing rutting whitetails, or tuning up your reef rig, this is your inside look at the week in conservation and outdoor legislation.

It's time to get my head out of the sand and learn about CWD and what I can do about it. Cait Nelson joins me on the podcast to discuss the critical issue of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) affecting wildlife, particularly in British Columbia. Cait, a Wildlife Health Biologist, explains the nature of CWD, its transmission, and the implications for the hunting community. Cait walks us through the recent detection of CWD in BC, management strategies to control its spread, and the vital role hunters play in surveillance and prevention efforts. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community involvement and proactive measures to ensure the health of wildlife populations and the sustainability of hunting practices. Find out more about the good work by Hunters For BC here cwdbc.ca Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a fatal infectious disease affecting cervids. CWD is caused by prions, which are misfolded proteins that accumulate in the brain. Most infected animals appear normal, making detection challenging. CWD can contaminate the environment and persist for years. The disease has spread from the U.S. to Canada, with BC being proactive in surveillance. Recent cases of CWD were detected in BC, prompting immediate response measures. Hunters play a crucial role in CWD management through testing and reporting. Effective management requires community involvement and education. CWD will remain in BC, but it can be managed to minimize impact. The establishment of a local testing facility in BC will expedite results for hunters.

For this 55th episode of the show, it seemed appropriate to bring on the man responsible for starting the Ahi Va Podcast. In February of 2021 Brandon Butler was in New Mexico hunting over-the-counter barbary sheep with NMWF's executive director Jesse Deubel. As the two men drove to and from hunting spots they intermittently listened to a variety of hunting/conservation podcasts. As the owner of Driftwood Outdoors, Brandon was no stranger to podcasting.In fact, following a successful hunt Brandon and Jesse actually recorded an episode of the Driftwood Outdoors Podcast.If you're interested in listening to that episode it's episode #78: The Man in the Arena: Jesse Deubel. After recording the show, Brandon suggested that the New Mexico Wildlife Federation should have its own podcast and Jesse should be the host. After some reluctance, Jesse agreed and the show was born.The New Mexico Wildlife Federation owes a huge debt of gratitude to the Driftwood Outdoors team, specifically Nathan "Shags" McLeod and Brandon Butler for professionally producing the show each month. We've featured some interesting topics and spoken with some incredible people. We're happy that Brandon Butler's name is now added to that list of special guests. In this conversation Jesse and Brandon discuss a variety of conservation issues from corner crossing to chronic wasting disease and PFAS-forever chemicals. It's a great show with lots of twists and turns, a few laughs and plenty of wisdom being shared.Enjoy the Listen!

Modern Firearms Season kicks off this weekend, and deer hunting doesn't get much better than this!
Prawdziwa apokalipsa zombie już się dzieje. To nie film, ale realna epidemia, która wymyka się spod kontroli. Choroba jeleni zombie (CWD) jest w 100% śmiertelna, nieuleczalna i skaziła środowisko. Czy jesteśmy następni? Obejrzyj materiał i poznaj najgroźniejszy patogen świata – priony.W tym filmie zagłębiamy się w mroczny świat prionów – czynników zakaźnych, które łamią wszelkie zasady biologii. Nie są żywe, nie mają DNA, a mimo to ewoluują i zabijają. Nie zniszczy ich temperatura, detergenty ani żadne leki. Co gorsza, pozostają w środowisku przez dekady.Epidemia Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) pustoszy populacje jeleniowatych w USA i Kanadzie, dosłownie zamieniając mózgi zwierząt w gąbkę (encefalopatia gąbczasta) i prowadząc do objawów przypominających horrory – apatii, braku lęku i powolnego wyniszczenia. Choroba dotarła już do Europy.Omawiam mechanizm działania prionów, przypominam historię choroby szalonych krów (BSE) oraz ludzkiej choroby Creutzfeldta-Jakoba (CJD). Analizuję najnowsze badania, w tym szokujący przypadek zmarłych myśliwych z 2024 roku, i odpowiadam na kluczowe pytanie: czy CWD może pokonać barierę gatunkową i zagrozić ludziom?Źródła:https://www.cdc.gov/variant-creutzfeldt-jakob/hcp/clinical-overview/index.htmlhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-71662-yhttps://www.rckik-warszawa.com.pl/kto-nie-moze-oddac-krwihttps://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rstb.2008.0068https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(15)00437-4https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11210205/https://www.cdc.gov/chronic-wasting/animals/index.htmlhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28701407/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11138967/https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/vir.0.042507-0https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/29/2/22-0882_articlehttps://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000204407https://www.wetgiw.gov.pl/main/aktualnosci/Nadanie-Polsce-najwyzszego-statusu-kraju-w-odniesieniu-do-Gabczastej-encefalopatii-bydla-BSE/idn:350/printpagehttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36201049/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35996016/

Marsha's Projects Elinya by Ambah O'Brien: Finished! I started this shawl in March 2018. I was about ¾ done with the picot bind off when I stopped and I have no idea why. I used Hazel Knits IArtisan Sock in the color way Sassafras and Jorstad Creek Cornwall in the colorway Flamingo. Simple Shawl by Jane Hunter: Finished! Used Michael's CWD in colorway San Francisco Fog. Again, no idea why I stopped. The shawl was finished except for washing and blocking. I started the shawl in March 2018 and finished the knitting in August 2021. Socks: Using Red Heart Heart and Sole in colorway Black Jack. Finished first sock and knitting on leg of the second sock. Mountain High: Heidi Kirrmaier. Using my handspun Flowers From My Garden. About to start the garter stitch edge with measures about 3.25”. Managing color when I change balls. Deer Scarf: Ben and his roommates rescued a concrete deer lawn ornaments. I am making a red scarf for the deer to wear this holiday. Added fringe to beginning edge. I have knit about 8 feet. Sheridan Flats Spinning: Purchased 24 oz of 80/15/6 if wool*/mohair/silk roving in the colorway Kaleidoscope. The owner said to spin at a worsted weight for best results. The mill is Olympic Yarn & Fiber located in Cosmopolis, WA. Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress. Kelly's Projects Moose Hat for Moose It was a fun, one week project that I started on his birthday and finished a week later. The pattern would also make a good pillow. Cathy suggested to decrease faster than the pattern calls for so the hat wouldn't be pointed. I used that suggestion and got a traditional beanie/toque shape. Natural Dyeing Experiments Elderberry leaves gave me a very light yellowy tan. I was hoping for green. I may have heated the dye pot too quickly. I simmered and then soaked a dyepot of walnut shells and hulls for about a week and then dyed with it. Heating and cooling the pot twice over the course of a day. Then I left the wool in to soak for a couple days. I got a darker brown than with the leaves, but not as dark as I thought I would get. Sort of a medium brown. Next up is loquat leaves. Spirit Yarn Hat #7 is finished using mostly a white skein of acrylic DK. A small amount of striping with a purple leaning brown and a pink. Hat #8 is at the crown. It is a bright pink. Wound the warp and dressed the loom for the chenille rug project. This project was inspired by Kelli who made one for her travel van. Instructions are in Summer 2024 Handwoven. Swatched with handspun from Jazzman, “Judith says perfect fleece.” Haven't decided on the vest I'll make, but I've done a search with my gauge to find the patterns that might work. Home-A-Long October 1st to December 31st Make a home decor item in your craft of choice…knitting, crocheting, weaving, or any way “you can think of to play with string.” Some ideas for projects could be pillows, afghans, rugs, towels, teapot or mug cozies, potholders, dishcloths, bags,.....

Nick tracks down Dr. Brent Race, a lead scientist from NIH (National Institutes of Health) who worked on the study; Inactivation of chronic wasting disease prions using sodium hypochlorite. The findings are exciting and promising for home or commercial processors who could be butchering infected deer. Using a solution of 40% bleach and a soak of 5 minutes, CWD prions can be inactivated, saving your cutlery, and non-porous cutting surfaces from infecting further butcher jobs, thus having to be pitched. With many parts of the country, including my home county in Michigan, having to face this growing problem that is showing to be very formidable. However, this may be a battle won in the ongoing war of CWD. Dr. Race explained that deactivating other infectious prion diseases with bleach is “old news”, but no work had been done on CWD in cervides (classification of the deer species) with a bleach treatment. Running several simulations with infected brain matter, stainless steel rods were covered in infectious prions and submerged in different concentrations of bleach along with varying amounts of time. The now treated roda were moved over to a solution of healthy prion material. Activated infectious prions would begin mutating healthy prions, making them infectious. In-activated infectious prions can't mutate healthy prions, meaning they couldn't spread the infection. Article: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/household-bleach-inactivates-chronic-wasting-disease-prions Actual Study (if you enjoy scientific reading): https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0223659 From the discussion, Huntavore has put together some procedures to think about when cutting up your own deer that could be infected. Mind you these are steps are being proactive, reacting to not knowing your deer is positive for CWD, rather than reactive and scrambling with the news of knowing your deer is positive, Setup: Put down a disposable ground covering, like plastic drop cloth or construction paper (the large rolls). Place cutting table on covered area. Might want to avoid the kitchen table. Proceed cutting up the animal making sure keep cuts in non-porous containers Bag, seal, wrap, whatever your storing method then box up, freeze, and wait for the results (hardest part). Try to avoid grinding meat at this point. Clean Up: Make sure the area is WELL ventilated. Brush fat, and silverskin, small bits on the ground cover, rollup and bag up. Wash and scrub both table/cutting boards, and used saws or knives per usual. Removing all remaining macro bits. Rinse and let dry (to not dilute the bleach treatment. Sack up all sponges/rags/Brillo pads that were used (wait on the test results, if positive, toss with the meat. If ok, they can be used again.) Mix up a container of 1 to 1 parts water and household bleach. Place all cutlery in the solution, making sure bleach can get to all surfaces. Set a timer for 5 minutes, watch carefully. Pull, rinse, let dry before putting away. In a spray bottle, filled with full strength bleach, spray down cutting boards or cutting table, as long as they are non porous. Let set for 5-7 minutes, watching the surface so it's not damaged by the bleach. When time is up, rinse off and let dry.

In-activated infectious prions can't mutate healthy prions, meaning they couldn't spread the infection.Article: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/household-bleach-inactivates-chronic-wasting-disease-prionsActual Study (if you enjoy scientific reading):https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0223659From the discussion, Huntavore has put together some procedures to think about when cutting up your own deer that could be infected. Mind you these are steps are being proactive, reacting to not knowing your deer is positive for CWD, rather than reactive and scrambling with the news of knowing your deer is positive,Setup:Put down a disposable ground covering, like plastic drop cloth or construction paper (the large rolls). Place cutting table on covered area. Might want to avoid the kitchen table.Proceed cutting up the animal making sure keep cuts in non-porous containersBag, seal, wrap, whatever your storing method then box up, freeze, and wait for the results (hardest part). Try to avoid grinding meat at this point.Clean Up:Make sure the area is WELL ventilated.Brush fat, and silverskin, small bits on the ground cover, rollup and bag up.Wash and scrub both table/cutting boards, and used saws or knives per usual. Removing all remaining macro bits. Rinse and let dry (to not dilute the bleach treatment.Sack up all sponges/rags/Brillo pads that were used (wait on the test results, if positive, toss with the meat. If ok, they can be used again.)Mix up a container of 1 to 1 parts water and household bleach. Place all cutlery in the solution, making sure bleach can get to all surfaces. Set a timer for 5 minutes, watch carefully. Pull, rinse, let dry before putting away.In a spray bottle, filled with full strength bleach, spray down cutting boards or cutting table, as long as they are non porous. Let set for 5-7 minutes, watching the surface so it's not damaged by the bleach. When time is up, rinse off and let dry.Show Partners:Umai DryInstagram: @umaidryWebsite: bit.ly/3WhfnnXSign up for the newsletter for 10% offTieBossInstagram: @tiebossllcWebsite: https://tieboss.com/pod?ref=pod Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In episode 4 of the Inside the NDA on the Antler Up Podcast, I'm joined by Kip Adams of the National Deer Association for an important conversation on some of the biggest issues facing Pennsylvania hunters today. We cover the growing challenge of chronic wasting disease (CWD) and why testing, awareness, and smart prevention efforts are so critical for protecting our herds. Kip explains why CWD is such a serious threat—100% fatal to deer—and outlines how hunters, wildlife agencies, and the NDA are working together to manage and slow its spread. We also dive into opportunities and responsibilities for hunters, from the new Sunday hunting opportunities in Pennsylvania to the importance of increasing the harvest of antlerless deer for better herd balance. Kip highlights how habitat management, collaboration, and community engagement play a vital role in keeping deer populations healthy for the future. Whether it's understanding the risks of moving high-risk deer parts, improving local habitat, or simply getting involved with NDA programs, this episode gives hunters the tools and knowledge to make a real impact.

Send us a textThis week on the Montana Outdoor podcast your host Downrigger Dale has an amazing conversation with two of the preeminent wildlife biology researchers in the Country! They are located right here in Montana ln the University of Montana Wildlife Biology program. This is one of the highest ranked wildlife biology schools in the Country, if not the world. Rigger talked with Dr. Chad Bishop who is the Director of the program at the U of M and Dr. Andrew Whiteley who is a faculty member there at the U of M Wildlife Biology program and leads a lab focusing on conservation genetics of fish throughout Western North America! Rigger, Chad and Andrew covered some unreal topics. For example, Andrew is doing some amazing research he is, in essence, finding ways the problems caused by inbreeding in trout populations. An age old-problem that began as fish got isolated into certain areas. His work could change the future of endangered fish. His and Chad's research could go way beyond that to maybe even stop the spread of diseases in many other animals like Deer, Elk and Antelope! Chad, Andrew, other faculty and the students are working on much more as well at University of Montana. Of course, as always good old Downrigger had to push the edge of the envelope at, one point he steered the discussion into how AI is being used to help speed up research, of course thinking surely AI has not made its way into working with wildlife yet. Ooooh yes it has! Dr Bishop gave a perfect example of how he is using AI in his ungulate studies (deer, elk, antelope, etc.). You have to hear about this! They even got into the idea of possibly using gene of gene editing to help species survive things like CWD in deer and elk or Whirling disease in fish. Course Rigger had to ask if it was possible for them to get Walleye to start growing to 30 pounds! Wait a minute, can they? Watch on YouTube or listen here to find out. Heck they talked about the Flathead Lake Monster and Bigfoot! Could those really be out among us here in Montana? Find out what Dr Bishop and Dr Whiteley had to say about that!
