On this episode, Mike tackles the Sidney Island Fallow Deer Eradication Project that's being conducted by Parks Canada in British Columbia. The first phase of the project was completed back in December and locals are divided on how the project is being handled and the province is having a hard time swallowing the nearly 6 million dollar price tag.

Can you eat cougar meat? Yes you can, and it's delicious! However, some people would lead you to believe that this species is hunted as a “trophy” to be hung on the wall and only killed for sport by the elite. 

On this episode, we’re breaking down a Facebook post from an influential wildlife photographer that is using his platform to villainize the hunting community with false information and inflated stereotypes. 

We also got into some music talk, added some guilty pleasures to the playlist, and chatted about how we can be better ambassadors for the hunting community.
