Sheldon sits down with wildlife expert Rick Espie to explore one of Saskatchewan’s most talked about topics- the new antlerless elk hunt.

From the early history of elk in North America to the complex wildlife management strategies that shaped today’s herds, Rick explains how we got here and why many in the conservation community believe this hunt goes against everything Saskatchewan’s wildlife stewards have worked toward.

Together, Sheldon and Rick look at the science, politics, and ethics behind the decision, examining who is pushing for the season, what it could mean for future management, and how hunters and conservationists can find common ground in an increasingly divided landscape.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of Saskatchewan wildlife and the balance between tradition, conservation, and policy.
