Justin Binfet (Wyoming’s Game & Fish Deputy Chief) joins the show to discuss in-depth sage grouse management in Wyoming and recent news about dissolving their 21-year-old sage grouse work groups. Justin and Travis discuss the role of the work groups, why they were dissolved, the new path toward sage grouse management, reasons for optimism in Wyoming’s management plan, where wildlife habitat funding comes from, current sage grouse populations and future trends, lek monitoring, invasive habitat work, why cheatgrass is so harmful on the landscape, current drought conditions, hope for spring nests and a positive outlook for all upland bird species in Wyoming.
