They do great work! Awesome to see the footage of the Grand Rapids in the video. Thanks

Great video, thanks

That owl could hear that mouse under snow with that background noise......??????

The reasoning that coal mining provides jobs is far-fetched. The local businesses will have opportunities. The actual miners if its anything like the oilsands will be from elsewhere. Many of them have worked all over Canada and needless to say follow the mines. When a mine closes they move to the next one, that goes for mine engineers and geologists. They're a skilled work force so they will take precedence over Albertans without mining experience. The UCP best not get its hopes up. I just hope if the NDP come to power they have the fortitude to see it through. The wealthy conservative elite will push back.

NO COAL OR NO UCP!

How much of this is designed to *provoke* companies to make investments they can then sue the government over if politicians decide to change Alberta's coal policy again?

Coal mines aren’t any worse on the landscape than all the windmills are. I didn’t hear anyone from western Alberta protesting wind farms. This dude sounds like a NDP supporter

Let your MLA know that you are not in agreement with coal mining in our eastern slopes. I have been horse pack camping, fishing and hunting for 40 years in the Bighorn back country. This mountain environment is very fragile and a World Treasure. Go to court and fight for our precious mountains . Its worth way more than money Clear your head and go into the wilderness, feel the stress drain from your mind and body, breath the mountain air and see the wild animals in there natural environment. Give my grandchildren the opportunity to ride horses and experience what these areas have given to me, LET THE GOVERNMENT KNOW WHERE YOU STAND.

Sadly as always a handful of people stand to make a lot of money out of this but always remember once the land is poisoned and the mountains are gone they are that way for ever.. the people making these decisions should be held personally financially responsible for this decision. but we all know they will take the money and run and Alberta will be left with poisoned rives and land that can never be the way it was. I think maybe we need new ministers that actually listen to Albertans and not just looking at their own bank accounts.

This process on the part of the UCP government is their way of trying to stop the lawsuits,not to “save the taxpayers money “,it’s all about keeping the shady and probably illegal back room dealings from becoming public.

This is so shortsighted...

This is the dopiest idea. There are only two ports in B.C., Vancouver and Prince Rupert. Vancouver is already backed up for days. Prince Rupert has a coal terminal but it is wholly owned by Teck the company that owns the mines in B.C. so not likely to allow a rival to use it.

Fresh water RAT

Yum

Amazing! Never seen one fly at a person like that before. The only thing I can think of is people have been feeding it and it associates people with food. Great capture!

Water rat

Amazing

I suspect the western capercaillie would probably do great in 'bertas larch forests as well but I dunno maybe 1 day lol. Turkeys are great tho! Good job boys.

Great video and very informative ! Hopefully no Brown trout will get into that creek. Fishing the streams of the Sierra Nevada’s, it’s a toss up whether the Western Whitefish or the Browns have a larger destructive effect on our native Rainbows.

Nice to see some proactive fur management in Alberta. The ATA leads the way in promoting sustainable fur harvest and data collections.

Thank you Micheal and Bill for explaining this.

Saw one in the wild last winter....amazing creatures. They are very silent.

Thanks so much for having me Michael! Love your interviewing style style that also helps capture a different look of the Basket Case story. The Basket Case story can be found here kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5PKdauOnKZ_d68si=ySiylC31A4O1gn8b

Michael, it was fun to see this pop in my feed. For anyone stopping by , you can watch Geoff's full hunt here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5PKdauOnKZ_d68si=xapX0RVR3OMy4czB Personally, I love cameras. They give you so much more perspective on what's going on when you aren't out there. We love them for deer recon but also seeing the predators that are around that you typically don't see with your own eyes when youre in the field.

Hey i sent you a question on the swabbing of the deck video. Thx

Wonder if captive managed herds might be a possibility that supports both bison and human needs. Just a thought regarding both brucellosis and her movements.

Would love to see more woodland bison to add to the forest fire prevention efforts. In addition to promoting small scale firewood harvest for sustainable woodland management.

Good to know. Great coverage of all the players and efforts to address this issue through education and awareness. Nice to see some news that’s not demonizing anyone. Yours is the kind the world needs much more of imo. Thanks!

Pray over our food everything is subject to all kinds of problems

The LGBTQP are attacking sheep farms here in England because they hate tge bible

Ronnie and Dave at Riverquest are a top-notch outfit. I've been fishing with them since 2020 and could not recommend them highly enough.

I thought the Cow was closed for all fishing until December. It appears that's not the case. I'm not sure that swinging flys through the frog water really appeals to me all that much but I 'm glad to see folks enjoying the river in the Fall, it's been a long time for me. When I was younger the Fall Coho were an awesome prelude to the Winter Steelhead fishery. :)

Great video. Please share.❤

Epic

They're a darn tasty bird!!!

Thank you for spreading more light on this issue. You are doing great work with all of your Alberta fish and wildlife documentaries and news clips. Please keep up the great content!

Great reporting as always Michael. Interesting concepts and may be beneficial to have triploid catfish in ponds to take pressure off of our native fisheries.

Would you be supportive of angling for catfish in an Alberta pond?

Interesting information.

That's awful. Bats are really important for the local ecosystem and our food production. It's good to know they have identified some ways to help prevent the fungus. Hope they can complete their research soon so they can be implemented.

Rumor has it they found those bats outside a bar in Fort Mac

Brown nose syndrome confirmed in Washington DC and Ottawa.

I love these little critters. They are all over my California property. I live in the Mojave desert and they come out every night after sunrise and hop all over my yard. I watch them all the time they’re so fun to watch. We have a Family of them out here and they come out every night, they’re very friendly

Have you considered partnering with the tribes? The naragansett turkey makes a great candidate for free range/meat department/ semi wild type birds. Jmho.

So two years later they are absolutely everywhere out there and attacks are way up ,I think this lady is overfunded. We saw twenty two bears in 356 and 355 last fall ,all very healthy looking bears and lots of Cubs. And no other animals around AT ALL

There draw system is very flawed. I wait 6 years for a draw and friend gets it twice👎🏻

They wont hurt the creek. That plowed field on the proposed site contributes to more sediment and damage to that creek than the pit will. No im not the one mining it.

2:40 the thing about "trophy fish" and trophy animals, is that they have lived a full healthy life. Trophy hunting and fishing just means you get the older, more mature animals and fish with less time left on their lifeline. People need to educate themself on the topic. Go for the bigger ones!

Cheer~~~a large semiaquatic North American rodent with a musky smell, valued for its fur.😊

They have to vaccinate them
