In this episode of the Land Investor Podcast, Matt and Ryan sit down with Dan Morina, PhD candidate in wildlife biology at the University of Montana and founder of Resource Management Specialists, for a fascinating deep dive into elk behavior, population dynamics, and what cutting-edge research means for hunters and landowners across the West. Dan shares his work building a statistical population reconstruction model for the expanding elk herd in North Dakota's Badlands, revealing surprising findings on survival rates, habitat use, and the real tension that emerges when wildlife and working ranches collide. Whether you're a landowner navigating elk pressure on your property, an avid hunter chasing a once-in-a-lifetime tag, or simply someone who wants to understand the science behind how wildlife and land intersect, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.
