As the leaves turn and the air chills, "Wild Things & Wild Places" returns with a compelling two-part series that delves deep into the heart of Wyoming's wilderness. Featuring Brian Nesvik, the seasoned Director of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, these concise 20-minute episodes pack a punch, unraveling the story of a landscape and its inhabitants emerging from a brutal winter.

In the first episode, we journey alongside Director Nesvik as he outlines the remarkable resilience of Wyoming's wildlife. The recent winter's severity tested the limits of survival. The narrative takes a turn as we dig into the pressing issue of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a concerning wildlife health challenge that has been on the radar of conservationists and wildlife managers across the country. Nesvik shares insights on the disease's impact in Wyoming and the steps being taken to manage its spread—a conversation that's both timely and crucial for anyone invested in the future of North America's wild spaces.

And when the hard talk ends, gather 'round for the 'Campfire Chat' segment—a unique feature that caps off each episode with reflections, anecdotes, and a moment of camaraderie that reminds us why these wild places matter to all of us.

Don't forget, the exploration doesn't end here. Tune in next Tuesday for the next installment of revelations and wildlife wisdom. In the meantime, for those eager to dive deeper into the life and work of Brian Nesvik, a treasure trove of information awaits your curiosity with a simple search.

"Wild Things & Wild Places" isn't just a series—it's a window into the complex dance of nature and human effort, a conversation that beckons us to listen, learn, and act. So, as the wild calls, will you answer?

As the flames of the day's conversations dwindle to a warm, inviting glow, "Wild Things & Wild Places" welcomes you to another intimate Campfire Chat. This session shines a light on a voice that resonates with passion and purpose—Jessi Johnson of the Wyoming Wildlife Federation.

Jessi is not just an advocate; she's a storyteller, conservationist, and a pioneer for women in the hunting community. With her roots deeply entrenched in the wide-open spaces of Wyoming, she has dedicated her time and energy to nurturing the land that gives so much to its inhabitants. Her work with the Wyoming Wildlife Federation is more than a job—it's a testament to her commitment to conservation and her love for Wyoming's natural heritage.

This Campfire Chat is more than an exchange of ideas—it's an ode to the spirit of the hunt and the stewardship of the land. Jessi shares her favorite hunting story, one that resonates with the ethos of the hunter and the hunted, reflecting a relationship as ancient as the wilderness itself. Her tale is not just a story of pursuit, but a narrative that weaves the bond between humans and a relationship with a friend and nature, highlighting the profound experiences that shape hunters and gatherers.
