This week, on the Halloween edition of Outdoor Journal Radio, the boys are joined by Larissa Nituch of the Ontario MNRF to discuss a very real and very scary disease facing North America's cervids, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).First, however, a bit of housekeeping was in order. Topics discussed included: whether Ang and Pete should stop swearing; TV vs. Podcast personalities; the new Largemouth Bass strain; Striped Bass poaching in PEI; crash landing in the Amazon; and lion photography gone wrong.With those matters out of the way, Larissa joins the show! Topics discussed included: CWD conspiracies; whether humans can get CWD; the monkey study; what an infected deer looks like; where CWD has been detected; whether ticks can carry it; how the MNRF is monitoring for the disease; how wolves may be able to help; how it got here; whether hunters should be getting their deer tested; what you can do to help; and much more!To never miss an episode of Outdoor Journal Radio, be sure to like, subscribe, and leave a review on your favourite podcast app!More from Angelo and Pete:► WEBSITE► FACEBOOK► INSTAGRAM► YOUTUBEMore on CWD:► BRITISH COLUMBIA► ALBERTA► SASKATCHEWAN► MANITOBA► ONTARIO► QUEBEC► NEW BRUNSWICK► NOVA SCOTIA► PEI► NEWFOUNDLAND► YUKON► NORTHWEST TERRITORIES► NUNAVUTThank you to today's sponsors!Invasive Species Centre - Protecting Canada's land and water from invasive speciesColeman Canada - The Outside is Calling, Answer the Call.

Kyle Burgess was in for the terror of a lifetime when he came across two mountain lion cubs on a trail run in the mountains of Utah. Kyle describes the near 10-minute ordeal that ensued after the angry female lion pursued him back up the trail. Kyle shares what he did wrong, and right, and what Mountain Lion biologists shared with him in conversations after his video went viral. This is a must listen for Ontarians as Mountain Lions have been officially declared back in Ontario by the MNRF and you should know how to deal with an aggressive lion!

The Blue Fish Radio Show is pleased to be back at the Glenora Fishery Research Station six years later to speak once again with MNRF's Collin Lake about the state of fisheries in Lake Ontario's eastern basin. Topics include greater access to urban recreational anglers, whether the commercial fishery on Lake Ontario is underutilize, the downward shift in nutrients and what it means for fishes, fish consumption advisories, the sustainability of local commercial fisheries, and elevating fish to be on par with “farm to fork” initiatives.

Do you know how fish culture and fish stocking differ? What about the different approaches to establishing a put-and-take fishery versus rebuilding fish stocks? The Ontario government's Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Fish and Wildlife Services Branch, has been actively engaged in all this for over a century. We speak with Mr. Kevin Loftus, Manager of MNRF's Fish Culture Section, for answers on this week's episode of Blue Fish Radio.Link below to hear how Ontario is working in partnership with angling associations to conserve biodiversity and enhance fishing opportunities:

“Effects of Biomass Removal Levels on Soil Carbon and Nutrient Reserves in Conifer-Dominated, Coarse-Textured Sites in Northern Ontario: 20-Year Results” with Dr. Dave Morris Forest harvesting varies greatly from annual harvests of agricultural crops, with extended times between harvests, the amount of harvested material removed, and the degree of site disturbance. Trees can grow to impressive sizes, but can take up to 60 years or more to reach a merchantable size. Because of these factors, the potential impact of these forest harvest operations on the environmental conditions needed for successful tree regeneration and growth can be substantial. Dr. Dave Morris, in collaboration with colleagues from the Canadian Forest Service, have been examining the potential impacts of forest biomass removal on the sustainability of these harvesting practices. With his team from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in Canada and sites from across the North American Long-term Soil Productivity Network, he’s spent 25-years looking at how forest soils and the regenerating forest recover after different intensities of forest biomass removal.  Tune in to learn more about: How does the removal of forest biomass affect the health of soil and the regenerating forest? How does the forest “recover” after stand-replacing disturbances? How do foresters try to minimize environmental impact? How does one coordinate a 25-year research project?

Common Carp were brought from Europe to North America well over 100 years ago as a food source for new Canadians, but since fell out of favor. Instead, there's growing interest in catch-and-release Carp fishing. The Honorable John Yakabuski, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, is now proposing to bring Ontario into alignment with Europe and the United States with respect to multi-line carp angling. Canada's angling community and tourism industry have been advocating for just such a change for well over ten years. Link below to hear Lawrence Gunther in conversation with the Minister of MNRF followed by a quick chat with Jesse Gallant, founder of Canadian Carper, on this episode of Blue Fish Radio:To provide your feedback to the Government of Ontario on the proposal to switch to multiple lines and to clarify the rules on baiting or chumming for Carp, send your comments to:fishpolicy@ontario.ca,For more on the proposed changes visit:https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-0130

Intro   Eric –Welcome to episode #4 of the Canadian Prepper Podcast… Pre Deer Hunting. . . My name is Eric, and I’m the host of the show.  I am based in southern Ontario. I’m a hunter, target shooter, HAM radio operator (VE3EPN), and computer geek. I got into preparedness when I was working front line in emergency services and witnessed an over reliance on Emergency Services during major events, such has ice storms, power outages, etc. I started a small preparedness company to help get people prepared and able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours, if not longer. Ian – My name is Ian, co-host of the show.  I live on Vancouver Island, on a small hobby farm.   I am an outdoor enthusiast, hunter, reloader, my farm’s designated handyman. I have had a lifelong interest in preparedness, and am gladly learning new skills on a regular basis.  My professional background has allowed me to see pretty much every, province and territory in Canada. It also has taught me to prepare for various unexpected situations daily. Eric – We have some great content for you in this episode, We’re going to start off with some news articles relating to hunting and the outdoors. Next Ian and myself will be letting you know how we’ve improved our preparedness since our last episode, we have some listener feed back to cover off (hopefully), and then were going to get into the main topic for this episode, Pre Deer Hunting.   News Eric – Since this episode is going to be focused on hunting I thought an article about hunting would make sense to talk about. Oct 27 2018 - MNRF laid 132 charges in 10-day period at start of moose and deer season. During a 10-day period from Oct. 13 to Oct. 22, conservation officers checked 4,768 hunters from Ontario and the United States and laid 132 charges and issued 329 warnings. The fact that there are more warnings vs charges is good to see, education always makes a big impact vs charging. Some of the charges and warnings that were issued included failing to wear a proper helmet on an ATV, having open liquor in a vehicle, having a loaded firearm in a vehicle, not wearing proper hunting orange, night hunting, shooting from the road, and trespassing for the purpose of hunting. Safety is key, alcohol and hunting just doesn’t mix. Not wearing orange (common sense), and trespassing. https://www.tbnewswatch.com/local-news/mnrf-laid-132-charges-in-10-day-period-at-start-of-moose-and-deer-season-1100849 Ian commentary– province differences.  No orange required here. Lower population density.  Interesting in the lack of caliber restrictions here too. Boozing it up leads to accidents, maybe requiring first aid / IFAKs.  Do you sell those? Plan to handle first aid issues?  What first aid do you bring?   Ian -. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/man-shoots-grizzly-video-bella-coola-bc-1.4875956 Man shoots grizzly mom in front of house. Eric – Safety around wild life? Bears in camp, around when hunting. . . Talking points: -Who has the right of the space?  He erred leaving her in his yard for a while. -Protection of family versus public outcry.  Totally different when times are bad. -Charged outside with no real plan. -Backup plan for when she charged was a complete fail. Ian - The inevitable bear defense debate!   CGN is full of threads on this. .308 / Buckshot/45-70/50 BMG
