“Wildlife by the Numbers (and the Sweat): Nevada’s Conservation Deep Dive”
Manage episode 486343906 series 3666672
This week on the WHIN Podcast, we’re talking boots-on-the-ground wildlife management with Doug Nielsen and Joe Bennett from NDOW—two guys who’ve spent decades in the dirt making sure Nevada’s big game herds stay wild and healthy. We dig into everything from how tag quotas are really set, to what goes into moving 150 bighorn sheep across the state, to the brutal realities of drought, predation, and habitat loss. Joe breaks down the data, Doug lays out the history, and we talk about what hunters can actually do to make an impact beyond just buying a tag. If you’ve ever filled a freezer, volunteered for a guzzler, or just wanted to understand the sausage-making behind your draw odds—this one’s for you.
