Join Mark and Sam for the top three wildlife news stories of the week, including:
- Is otter trapping in Wyoming's future?
- Avian flu is spreading, affecting wild birds the most
- Two right whales make a baffling trip along the US Gulf Coast
Then, Carter Niemeyer joins the pod for an eye opening conversation. From his early years as a paid government trapper to his leadership in Yellowstone wolf reintroduction, Carter Niemeyer reveals how the government kills wild animals for livestock producers and how he turned from a trapper - a killer - into a champion of wolves.
Carter's new book, "The Other Ten Wolves: A Yellowstone Backstory" is coming to brick and mortar and online bookstores soon!
