New Podcast Up-Women Hunt “Ignite” Podcast Host Dana Dykema Is This Episode’s Special Guest

Higher Calling Wildlife® is back with a brand new episode featuring Dana Dykema of the Ignite podcast from the Women Hunt program of the Wild Sheep Foundation.

In this conversation, Dana talks about the growth of Ignite and how the podcast is helping communicate messages of conservation and hunter advocacy.

Listen here via Apple Podcasts here.

The episode dives into modern wildlife management and how regulated hunting helps support healthy wildlife populations and habitat conservation.

We also talk about mentorship, education, and why it is important to create opportunities for new hunters and outdoors enthusiasts to learn about conservation and hunting traditions.

As Higher Calling Wildlife returns, this episode is a great reminder that conservation is about much more than wildlife alone. It is about protecting habitat, preserving outdoor traditions, and making sure future generations have the chance to experience healthy wildlife populations and wild places.

We salute the Women Hunt program and the leadership of Chair Renee Thornton for all of their work in creating new stewards of these resources.

If you care about conservation, hunting, or the future of wildlife management, this is an episode you will not want to miss.

Plus, I got to be a guest on the Ignite podcast. You can listen to that episode wherever you find podcasts or click here.

Shark Attack At South Padre!

On July 4, 2024, several individuals were reportedly injured by a shark off the southern coast of Texas at South Padre Island according to a report from ABC News.

Here’s what we know about this shark attack.

*Four separate incidents involving a single shark were reported according to the ABC report.

*The ABC report said Texas Game Warden Capt. Chris Dowdy confirmed that the incidents included two bites, a grazing, and an injury while fending off the shark​. A press statement from the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD) said details at this time indicate that two people were bitten and two people “encountered” the shark but were not seriously injured. What does an encounter mean? Was it indeed a grazing or a strike from fending off the shark?

Dire Wolves, Cloning & The Ghost Wolves of Galveston Island Higher Calling Wildlife with Chester Moore

A dire wolf has been brought back through modern genetic science — and I sat down with Matt James of Colossal Bioscience to learn more. In this in-depth interview, we discuss dire wolf cloning, de-extinction science, CRISPR gene editing, ancient DNA recovery, conservation biotechnology, and what this breakthrough could mean for endangered species, ecosystem restoration, and the future of wildlife management. Is this true de-extinction? And how does this tie in to the "ghost wolves" of Galveston Island, Texas? Could extinct animals like the woolly mammoth or saber-toothed cat be next? What are the ethical concerns around cloning predators? And how does this impact ongoing wolf conservation efforts in North America?
