ElkShape Podcast - Foundation for Wildlife Management Oct 11, 2019

Show notes

There are roughly 80,000 elk hunters in Idaho - I'm asking you all to make this episode a priority. Around 600 wolves have been harvested in the last two years in Idaho and that's largely due to trapping. That may sound like a lot, but if you peel back some layers you'll see that 600 isn't enough to keep wolf numbers from growing. We're already ten times over objective in Idaho. We need more Sportsmen to put their precious hard earned dollars into trapping, which is a very expensive and time consuming proposition. If you're like me, having a young family prevents me from running a trap line and checking sets every 72 hours which is required by law. I don't own a snowmobile and I cannot break away to dedicate the necessary time to do trapping justice. Luckily, there's still a few trappers out there that are willing and able to put the hard work in...and we can join forces and help them recoup some of their overhead when it comes to trapping.

Foundation for Wildlife Management is an organization that helps reimburse hunters and trappers for their expenses when it comes to a wolf hunting or trapping. Anywhere from $500-1,000 depending on the take method. This is not a bounty, this is purely a partial reimbursement. If you're a member, you qualify for a reimbursement and your dollars help reimburse those that are getting it done.

Just Webb is our guest today, and he's here to set the record straight on what F4WM does, why we need to manage wolves and how to take action. Wasting time pounding a keyboard on social media is not a favorable action. You will not change anyone's mind, so why not put your money where your mouth is and learn how this foundation is making it possible for our future generations to have wildlife resources.

Troy Pottenger - Public Land Mountain Whitetails Oct 04, 2019

Show notes

We record with one of the most dedicated public land mountain whitetail hunters I have ever heard of. His name is Troy Pottenger and he resides in the Inland Northwest where he's arguably the most consistent archery hunter of big whitetails. Troy has been at this game for decades and spends so much time figuring out smart and mature public land bucks that live a recluse lifestyle.

We dive deep into his year round tactics to not only find a buck to go after, but how he meticulously sets the stage to be in position anytime during the fall archery season. Troy is the real deal and the knowledge bombs on this cast will make you rethink some of your best practices when it comes to whitetail behavior.
