Ep 20 - What drives elk habitat selection?

The Scientific Outdoorsmen Podcast ·

2025/10/07

There are lots of factors that influence where elk, deer, and other animals decide to spend their time. In this week's episode, we dive into research from Colorado led by researcher Storm Crews that tracked movements of over 400 elk from four elk herds in the Rocky Mountain state. The researchers determined if individual elk had resident or migratory movement strategies and from there, looked at how resource selection varied based on season, herd, and movement strategy. No surprise, all elk tend

Ep 19 - How do elk respond to hunters?

The Scientific Outdoorsmen Podcast ·

2025/09/05

Have you ever wondered how elk or other big game change their distribution when facing hunter pressure? Do they respond to different hunters differently whether it's archery or rifle season? What if elk aren't targeted but other hunters are in the area? This week, we dive into research by Joshua Smith and his colleagues out of Oregon to answer these questions. In this study, bull elk are tracked during various hunting seasons and the researchers looked at how they changed the amount they

2025/08/21

This week we are excited to have Brittney Parker from BHA join us to talk about the ways recreationists impact wildlife in the outdoors. Britt has spent a lot of time thinking about this topic and wrote up a great article on it that you can find at this link. As the human population grows and more people access public lands, recreational trails will see more use and become more present on the natural landscape. But what does that mean for the wildlife that depend on those places? We dive into a

This week we dive into some of the complexities associatedwith conservation and wildlife management focusing on the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. We are joined by the Chief Conservation Officer with FWC, George Warthen, to learn how the commission operates and uses facts and science to inform their decisions and policies. We also discuss some history of conservation and recognize how challenges that were faced in the past are still common today. Enjoy the episode!Announcements:

Ep 15 - How to manage BIG horned pronghorns

The Scientific Outdoorsmen Podcast ·

2025/07/12

In this episode, we find out what makes pronghorn differentfrom other hunted mammals: their horns. We dive into pronghorn management looking at results from research led by Lee Tafelmeyer looking at the effects of hunting pressure on pronghorn horn size. While antler-growing ungulates like deer and elk get larger antlers with age, pronghorn have most of their horn growth in their first couple years. This can allow wildlife managers to adjust management plans so more big-horned pronghorns can be

Ep 13 - What does the RED SNAPPER SCIENCE say?

The Scientific Outdoorsmen Podcast ·

2025/06/18

In this episode, we dive into a scientific study on Red Snapper (Lutjanus campechanus). In this study, they use known harvest numbers from both recreational and commercial fisheries to train a model for population growth to predict how different regulations will affect the population of snapper in the future. They look at reducing effort, using pressurized release devices to address barotrauma, discard mortality, size limits, bag limits, season lengths and timing, and much more. I hope you enjoy

In this episode, we round off our turkey discussions with yet another paper out of Dr. Mike Chamberlain's lab. In this peer reviewed article, the researchers looked at how hunting pressure affects the way that adult male turkeys (Toms) choose their roost location and investigate if there is any pattern in roost selection through the hunting season. We discuss how this might influence decisions in the woods while turkey hunting regarding trying to find turkey roost areas.Another great episode,
