Podcast 164 - The Great Buffalo Revival & VOMITOXIN

In this podcast, the guys dive into one of the most interesting wildlife management stories in recent memory, Colorado’s new bison classification and lottery system, along with what it could mean for the future of conservation. They talk about how Colorado’s new method of managing the Bison is a great example of how other states should approach controlling animal populations, and they get into the nitty gritty of how specific states, like Michigan, have completely failed in this category. The guys also have a conversation that takes a sharp turn into agroterrorism, and a shocking airport incident involving a smuggled crop pathogen and intercepted by U.S. Customs from China. The hazardous fungus produces something called VOMITOXIN! Could this be the next big problem the US faces?
