The Iconic Pursuit Podcast

This week's episode focuses on the ecological impacts of large-scale solar farms, disease spread in Colorado cougars, and defining wildlife management. We discuss the factors that drive disease transmission and how regulated harvest can mitigate the impacts of disease in wild populations. We discuss the impacts of solar farms on prairie chicken populations and Aldo Leopold's idea of game management. 

Join me as I give you an update on my graduate research project, trapping bobwhite quail. I cover a few interesting articles about releasing pen-raised quail for tick control and how hunting makes you a better steward of the environment. Also, I wrap up by discussing how to become a wildlife biologist.
