Podcasts about Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency

This week we're  joined by Garrett Clevinger of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency to tell us about their successful elk restoration project. It's an example of conservation, cooperation and hard work. Garrett tells the story of how they identified a region that was ideal habitat, worked with other agencies to acquire some breeding stock to release and how it's grown into a population that's now allowing limited hunts. We learn of the ongoing research that his group is conducting with elk calves plus he explains how to  apply for chance to hunt. It's a great conservation story.

Wild turkeys are what biologists call an indicator species — meaning its presence in a location is indicative of a healthy ecosystem for all other species, including humans. The turkey is also a significant figure to Native cultures, both spiritually and practically. In the early 1900s, commercial hunting left the wild turkey population decimated, and it faced extinction. Hunters were the first to notice the trouble, and in the mid-1900s, efforts began to rescue and conserve them — a movement that changed the course of history for a bird that often roams our streets and neighborhoods.From East Nashville to Natchez Trace, and from Radnor Lake to Hermitage, residents often have run-ins with the weird, wonderful, wild turkey. But its significance to this country and our environment cannot be understated — and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency says it needs our help to keep it thriving.This episode was produced by Leslie Eiler Thompson.GUESTS Roger Shields | Biologist; Wild Turkey Program Coordinator, Division of Wildlife and Forestry, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Windy Hamm | Hobbyist hunter Tanya Peres | Associate Professor of Anthropology (Zooarchaeology), Florida State University  Tom Kunesh | President, Tennessee Ancient Sites Conservancy

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency was established 75 years ago to preserve, conserve, manage, protect and enhance our fish and wildlife across the state and their habitats.

A research idea, born in a duck blind, matures into a $2 million cutting-edge study, is funded heavily by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency through dollars collected from hunters and shooters, and sets out to answer dozens of questions about the wintering ecology of mallards in the Mid-South. In this episode, Dr. Abby Blake-Bradshaw and Dr. Nick Masto join Dr. Mike Brasher for Part 1 of their long-awaited discussion about the study we've all heard about. Led by the Cohen Wildlife Lab at Tennessee Tech, the study sought to answer questions about winter movements of mallards, their use of sanctuary, effects of disturbance, interactions with food, and how this information can help improve our conservation and management of wintering landscape for mutual benefits to ducks, hunters, and other outdoorspeople. Listen in as we lay the groundwork on this exceptional science.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

When you live in a city the size of Nashville, you don't expect to worry about seeing any black bears. But the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency tells us we might start seeing them roaming through our neighborhoods. Most black bears in Tennessee live in the eastern part of the state. But as the wooded areas they lived in became populated, they often sought new places to live. In recent years, that means they've migrated toward Middle Tennessee. We've had a few sightings in recent years, but now we can expect more...

Congressman Tim Burchett (TN-02) sits down with an officer from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) for this episode of Tennessee Talks. Congressman Burchett recently wrapped up his water tours in TN-02 and caught up with officer Roberson to discuss how we keep Tennessee clean, how to get and keep young kids outdoors, and how funds are distributed back into the outdoors in Tennessee.

A lot of sightings of black bears the last couple of weeks in the mid-state area, and TWRA officials expect even more as the bears look to reclaim territory. Lee Maddox: Expanding Bear Population: Hello and welcome again everyone for Tennessee Home and Farm Radio. I'm Lee Maddox Dan Gibbs: Bears have slowly reclaiming their, their former territory. Lee Maddox: A lot of sightings of black bears the last couple of weeks in the mid state area. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's Black Bear Coordinator, Dan Gibbs, Dan Gibbs: We started getting reports about two weeks ago of a bear sighting and Lewis County. We had some reports I believe in the Marshall County area maybe Bedford then Maury and Williamson and then so the one that's gotten the most attention is the one that was in South Nashville. The last I got on that one it seems like that bear is found his way over into Rutherford county now Lee Maddox: Dan Gibbs says these sightings which are now more frequent with more security and wildlife cameras now in place are only natural for the bears to look to explore and reclaim where they once were prevalent. Dan Gibbs: Tennessee historically the entire state had black bears from one end to the other. The Mississippi River bottoms and Tennessee River bottoms and all those areas held a lot of bear Lee Maddox: Gibbs says folks in East Tennessee had been more accustomed to black bear sightings in recent years. And he says a lot of information can be found at bearwise.org to help residents and landowners know what to expect and how to react when these encounters occur. Dan Gibbs: If you hear about a bear in the area, you need to take down bird feeders that you may have out secure trash by either taking it to convenience center or try to store it in a garage or something like that and and get your pet food up. Don't feed pets outside. If people do those three simple things. The bear may move through their through their property, but if he finds no reason to hang around to keep moving, Lee Maddox: And Gibbs says black bears rarely become aggressive when encountered and again for more detailed info visit bearwise.org for Tennessee Home and Farm Radio, I'm Lea Maddox

Stories about growing up in a hunting family are always great to hear, and when they begin with “My father didn't let me being a girl change how he raised me,” you know it's going to be fun. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's Amy Snider grew up hunting and fishing in East Tennessee and was about as immersed in the sporting culture of the region as anyone could be. That upbringing served her well during her career both as a Wildlife Officer and a communications and outreach manager with the agency. She was prepared to speak the language of sportsmen, care for the resource and deal with the occasional inappropriate comment from a smallminded hunter or angler.   Suggested Links: https://www.tn.gov/twra.html https://www.amesplantation.org/field-trials Show notes: 2:52 – Bill shares a little background on Amy Snider. 4:17 – The crew shares what they've been doing outside recently. 8:35 – Amy reflects on her upbringing with her father and growing up on a farm. 12:08 – Volleyball, wildlife sciences and the challenges Amy is facing due to the decrease in hunters. 14:13 – Amy talks about her path to working with hunting dogs.  19:29 - Was it difficult to get started as a female game warden?

Joining us on the show is Jordan Nanney, a wildlife forester for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. Jordan is a trained wildlife biologist, forester, fisherman, and hunter who has worked hard to develop his career in the wildlife field. During the interview we discuss his early years as a hunter and how he was inspired to purse a career in wildlife management. We also discuss the results from his research on the effects of timber harvest, fire, and herbicide on elk and deer forage on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, as well as bobwhite quail management strategies Jordan has adopted.

Asian Carp have been on our radar for more than 20 years. Most of these fish are found in the Mississippi River and other parts of West Tennessee. The week we are highlighting the Asian Carp Harvest Incentive Program (ACHIP) developed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. This program provides commercial fisherman with TWRA-supplied gillnets and a higher rate of return to hopefully slow the spread of this fish in Tennessee waters. ACHIP was implemented on Sept. 18, 2018 and has reimbursed ACHIP-contracted wholesale fish dealers for 262,333 pounds of Asian carp.  www.tnwildlife.org #tnwildlife #itswhatwedo
