Show Notes
Accurate wildlife counts shape everything from conservation strategies to sustainable hunting regulations. But what happens when aerial survey numbers don’t match what people see on the ground? In this episode, host Mark Hall digs into the messy, fascinating world of wildlife inventory methods and the growing push to modernize them. Featuring insights from Dan Melody of Owyhee Air Research and Scott Ellis of the Guide Outfitters Association of BC, the conversation explores why traditional helicopter surveys fall short, how new imaging technologies are changing the game, and why local knowledge remains an untapped powerhouse in wildlife management.
