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

It’s called Americas woolly mammoth 🦣 or the woolly cow 🦬 It’s prehistoric

Just curious as to how these bear hair snag points were set up? Was there something placed as an attractant in the center of the snag wire block? I can’t see it being an accurate way of snagging hair if it was just a random spot out in the bush. Also curious as to how many grizzlies are estimated to be in the High Level Forest Protection Area or was this even a part of that study. Thanks for sharing this study with us… I have always hoped to see a grizzly in the wild up around High Level…

as humans move more into there habitat , it will always seem to be more bears , more sightings and more conflict , . Logging , forest fires will move these bears around more

Does anyone ever centerpin float fish that river?

this is crazy

Hey let some more people in to dump their garbage fish in our lakes

Dear Mike, this fish is BABUSHKA, not prussian carp

In my area I have definitely trapped/shot ones that were over 6 pounds. Absolutely massive for no reason. I will provide picture evidence if wanted

Ive pulled 2 prussian carp out of cardiff fish pond and my dad pulled a 9 pound common carp out of eastpit earlier this year

when was this video taken what month was this ?

Michael, will you be doing an update on this project? Awesome job gang.

I’ve seen them every year when I go camping in Ely, MN. I hope the population stays strong there!!

Where is the vessel located, please?

Hello Where can I catch carp

I think I caught one in my house! I live in a rural spot just north of the coutts border. It's alive. I really hope someone sees this. I've got a call in to the fish and wildlife, but I'm not sure if that's the right people to called.

Ridiculous

OMG

It’s great people are studying fish in Alberta. I’d love for someone to do a study to determine how much biomass has been removed from these low productivity waters over historic times. There are photos of settlers with a fence packed with giant bull trout hanging off it. We don’t see those numbers nor quality of bull trout anymore except in very limited occurrences if at all. What people may think is great, very likely pales in comparison to historical populations. So why haven’t we seen recovery to historic carrying capacities of bull trout size and numbers? Likely food limitations are critical. A study on an infusion of lost nutrients back into some of these streams could have a very positive effect on populations and may give them a chance to recovery closer to what they once were. Just like pacific salmon return to low nutrient streams to spawn and die and the death fertilizes the streams, in Alberta’s nutrient poor foothill streams, we don’t see that seasonal influx of nutrients by rather those nutrients trapped in the existing populations of fish. 100 + years of severe harvest has to of had a detrimental impact even with more recent protections. We have still decimated mountain whitefish numbers across their range also. While some will continue to refuse to think outside the box, maybe it’s time for some new forward thinking researchers and fisheries managers to try something different in pursuit of helping bull trout. Just a thought to ponder.

the more i learn about bull trout the more i think of them as the bull dogs of fish. LOL

Thank you, Micheal. You do stellar work.

Great interview!

If they netted 10,000 there must be hundreds of thousands in Blood Indian.

I would like to see BARBLESS, SINGLE HOOK ONLY, and Catch and Release Only on the entire Eastern Slope Watershed. But definitely BARB-LESS and SINGLE HOOK only. and another fish killer is the cell phones, people over handling fish and keeping them out of water WAY TOO LONG so they can get a selfie vanity shot/video, seen this way too often. GREAT INTERVIEW with Al.

Looking at going into the job. Hopefully it works out. I like how alberta has officers with patrol rifles. I always didnt like the idea of stopping heavily armed hunters with a 9mm sig and a 12 gauge

That was a beautiful sight to behold. 🥰

It's on my immediate to-read list for next year! Mr. Fitch is an icon and his words ring true.

Excellent interview! As long as we value money over clean air and clean water we are screwed. Thanks for promoting this Scientist!!!

Good to hear this, we’ll done story and great information. I got out on 8 different trips to Cold lake to fish. We had many fun days. I fished the winter ice fishing tournament and the summer one. We had lots of catches in the 60-79 cm class.

Great story Mike, thanks.

Thanks for highlighting this new tool in wildlife management, Michael. The more people use it and the larger the data set, the better.

I really appreciate all the work that the conservation groups are putting in to restore populations and wildlife diversity. Great piece!

Great videos of the Grouse, they are cool birds. Thank you for the effort you took to make this video to raise awareness. :)

Such a beautiful bird. I would love to photograph then one day. Thanks for a great video Michele.

Can we get a video on the differences of a fish and wildlife sheriff and a conservation officer? We love your videos!!

It's an excellent program. I have appreciated the opportunities in AB, and my son and I have taken a bird each this season. We love it as a good spot to teach the dogs and have some awesome fun out there. Thanks for reiterating good ethics! Safety can be a risk here, so always good to give people their space. Agreed that a pheasant harvested isn't worth endangering other hunters. Cheers!

I am new in Alberta, we moved from Ontario in August. Turkey hunting in Ontario was my passion more then just a hobby

east pit lake also has carp

There was a huge explosion of them a few years ago in southern Alberta but they seem to have dropped in numbers dramatically, although there is still a lot around. I hope this is a result from anglers removing them from the systems.

So sad... I used to love fishing in Cardiff park pond, but its full of carp. Considering the group using imported gear to target the carp, and take them home in the dozens, it is very difficult not to paint them all with the same brush. Please learn to catch native species and not ruin government funded public resources!!!

Another awesome event! These kids can catch events are fantastic. They're great way to get kids into fishing, especially ones without the parents (and gear) to go on their own.

You got a good channel there gramps, keep it up old man🎉
