In this episode, Curtis and Mark are joined by Dr. Clayton Lamb. Clayton talks about his involvement and research in the Indigenous-led caribou recovery program for the Klinse-Za herd in Northeastern British Columbia. Clayton describes how the Indigenous-led program started, the details of citing, constructing, operating, and monitoring a caribou maternal pen as well as how the caribou are fed and guarded 24/7. Clayton describes his experience learning and integrating western science with traditional knowledge on this project. Clayton also provides an overview of his research findings on how the Klinse-Za caribou herd is doing since the Indigenous-leg recovery program started, caribou survival in and outside the maternal pen, and the effect of wolf management. Other topics discussed include spring turkey hunting, one vs two decoys, calling, the ethics of shooting roosted turkeys, rural living, and coexisting with grizzlies and chicken tractors.
