Boots on the Ground: Fawn Capture Season
<p data-start="73" data-end="356">Joey and Chris are back with a field recap from two days assisting the Monteith Shop's mule deer research in the Wyoming Range. Their work focused on fawn captures, a key part of understanding mule deer survival, reproduction, genetics, and how harsh or mild winters impact the herd.</p> <p data-start="358" data-end="656">They explain how collared adult does, implant transmitters, satellite location "clusters," and telemetry help researchers locate birth sites and newborn fawns. Once found, each fawn is carefully processed for data like weight, measurements, and genetic samples before being safely returned.</p> <p data-start="658" data-end="952">Tuesday brought a tough challenge with doe 338, who was believed to be carrying rare triplets. A premature VIT release led to a long, cold, steep hike, but with updated data and help from Ollin Company's Starlink setup, the team eventually found and processed one fawn later confirmed as hers.</p> <p data-start="954" data-end="1249" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Wednesday went more smoothly, with Joey helping process a set of twins after a clearer VIT signal and birth site. The episode also highlights <a href= "https://ollin.co/?srsltid=AfmBOorCWa_GHxZjJos8P7bdF30btYgF0_fCLq1jgfSCK_1B02hWp0nG"> Ollin Company's</a> live social coverage and the bigger picture of the Monteith Shop's research, which has been tracking mule deer in the region since 2013. Thank you to Ollin for the fantastic coverage. </p>

Echoes of the Tracks: Breanna Ball & the Wyldlife Fund
<p data-start="606" data-end="1063">Joey, Janet and Chris sit down with Breanna Ball with <span class="whitespace-normal">The Wyldlife Fund</span>—a nonprofit partner created in 2019 to help fill funding gaps for Wyoming Game and Fish priorities, with 90% of funds going to on-the-ground work. Breanna shares how the fund has grown from about $500,000 raised in 2020 to over $4.4 million last year, and how that support turns into fast, measurable conservation wins.</p> <p data-start="1065" data-end="1693">They talk wildlife crossing projects, including how roughly $1 million in support helped strengthen a federal grant application. Breanna also explains the Red Desert Fence Initiative, prompted after severe 2022–23 pronghorn losses that were made worse by fences and highways. She walks through how research and prioritization tools guide where fence conversions happen, what it can cost, how quickly projects can move, and what "opened habitat" really means.</p> <p data-start="1695" data-end="1970">The episode also covers pooled migration fund projects, how private foundations and matching federal dollars multiply impact, ways listeners can donate, and upcoming <a href="https://www.muledeerdays.org/">Mule Deer Days</a> events and seminars featuring the Unwired documentary. </p> <p data-start="1695" data-end="1970">Don't miss <strong data-start= "11" data-end="52"><span class="whitespace-normal">Mule Deer Days 2026</span></strong> — March 13–15, 2026.

Putting the 'U' in Hunt: Evan Cooper's First Bull Elk Story
<p data-start="3438" data-end="3596">Evan was selected to participate in Wyoming's "Un Hunt" program, creating an opportunity that brought the Coopers to the West for a hunt they'll never forget.</p> <p data-start="3598" data-end="3866">Evan describes the experience in a way that makes you feel like you're right there with him. The heart of the episode is the story of when Evan harvested his first bull elk.</p> <p data-start="4223" data-end="4539">It's not told as a highlight reel. It's told honestly: the anticipation, the effort, the nerves, the reality of it all—and the pride that comes after. For Evan, this wasn't "just" a successful hunt. It was proof of strength. Proof of progress. Proof that his body and spirit could carry him into something big again.</p> <p data-start="4541" data-end="4735">For Erin, it's impossible not to hear the emotion underneath every word: the gratitude, the relief, the pride, and the awe of seeing her son experience joy after everything they've been through.</p> <p data-start="4774" data-end="5149">This episode also highlights the mission behind the " Putting the U in Hunt" program and the people who make experiences like this possible. The conversation underscores the shared commitment of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and the Muley Fanatic Foundation to create impactful, meaningful opportunities for youth facing life-threatening illnesses—opportunities that are more than a getaway.</p> <p data-start="5262" data-end="5386">If you need a story that restores your faith in people—and reminds you why the outdoors can mean so much—this episode is it.</p> <p data-start="5262" data-end="5386"> </p>
