Habitat Podcast #401 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Janis Putelis! We discuss: -Janis cut every white pine off 20 acres and released the oaks hiding underneath them. -Why 40 acres is barely enough timber for a logger to justify moving his equipment in. -The US Fish and Wildlife Habitat Partners Program funded his 7-acre oak savanna restoration. -Doing the slash and burn work himself credited against his share instead of costing $7,000. -Ground deer used to walk straight through now has a bed every five minutes you walk. -Sam Tumberg's buckthorn rule: mow it in spring, then spray the regrowth after July 4th. -Buckthorn cut to the ground on May 15th was four to six feet tall by the third week of July. -Roughly fifty trees dropped by hand turned a dead ridge saddle into a big buck's route. -His dad is hunting the September 15th Wisconsin opener from a blind he built by hand. -Deer refuse to travel his one long straight road but hammer every winding trail he cuts. And So Much More!

In the latest episode of Save it for the Blind, hosts Jeff and Carson delve into the remarkable turnaround of the Klamath Basin's water situation. After enduring an emotional four-year drought, the landscape has been rejuvenated, boasting 13,000 acres of newly formed wetlands, thanks to a combination of a wet winter and strategic interventions.US Fish & Wildlife Biologist John Vradenburg sits down with Klamath task force members Greg Dyer and Rob Plath along with Jeff and Carson to talk about the current climate in the Klamath Basin and many other hot topics. We discuss the water situation in many parts of the basin, the wildlife and habitat status as well as what the future may hold for that entire region as well as the hunting. Rob Plath and Greg Dyer discuss the permanent water rights deal that is nearing completion and how it is setting the tone for additional water purchases in the basin and in other areas as well as what is happening to cause the recent water to increase all over the LKNWR. John Vradenburg answers on behalf of the US Fish & Wildlife Service these specific questions for our viewers and listeners: What is t Barnes/Agency project and prospects for getting more water to the refuge? What is the current hydrologic status for southern OR and water outlook for 2024? What's the Service's position and role in removing the ADY headgates/allowing water more freely flow into the refuge? What's going on at Tule Lake refuge with water this year and will it last?

This week we're talking about how there's a potential threat to the public's ownership of fish and wildlife as the Georgia Legislature passed a bill that stripped language from a law that had to do with the public trust doctrine. A few news stories that we also cover include; The Alaska Governor recently announced new appointments to the Board of Fisheries and Board of Game which included Fresh Tracks regular, Jim Baichtal! A study in Michigan has been trying to figure out if they can vaccinate wild deer for bovine tuberculosis via an edible bait. In Grand Teton National Park it was reported that the removal of mountain goats has continued with 15 were killed within the park in 2023 and they estimate around 10-20 goats remain in the Teton Range. A Dairy worker in Texas recently contracted the bird flu making him the 2nd person in the United States to be reported. In Wyoming a man has been accused of running down a wolf with a snowmobile, catching it while still alive, taping its mouth shut and then bringing it home with him and then bringing it to a bar, before finally killing it. The first large-scale wildlife overpass in Idaho was finished last year and the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership put out an article detailing the project and initial success.

Big Game hunting seasons often change but when they go from an over the counter tag to a controlled hunt, the hunting public is often left with many questions. In this episode of Fin and Fire With Jeff Mishler I sit down with Justin Dion from ODFW, Game Department and ask some tough questions about why my favorite units to hunt elk have moved to a controlled hunt and whether or not those management changes make a difference. In the process, I learn that if I took more advantage of the application process, my overall hunting experience would most likely improve.

Few legacies can impact the amount of people, organizations, species and habitats that Becky Humphries has. Starting as an employee of the US Fish and Wildlife Service in the 1970s, she quickly transitioned to state wildlife work the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and grew through the ranks culminating in her being appointed Director of the Department of Natural Resources and then in 2010 of the newly-developed Department of Natural Resources and Environment, which combined the DNR and state's environmental agency. She was the first woman to hold either director role in Michigan. Humphries' leadership saw the department through some of the most trying and uncertain times – including the discovery of Bovine Tuberculosis and chronic wasting disease in the state. Humphries' work with the DNR elevated her to leadership roles within Association of Fish and Wild Agencies. She not only won their two most prestigious awards for her work, but she was named chair of the Fish and Wild Health Committee and led the National Fish and Wildlife Health Initiative. After more than 30 years with the DNR, Humphries left in 2011 to join Ducks Unlimited as the director of conservation partnerships. In 2013, Humphries joined the National Wild Turkey Federation as its chief conservation officer before being named chief executive officer in 2017 (Sourced from Michigan United Conservation Clubs).
