Great Podcast

This podcast gives awesome information on the wildlife of Utah and really helps with understanding the huge amount of effort that goes into preserving and protecting our wildlife, as well as making recreational opportunities available. It also helps to show who the DWR are, and how they help preserve these opportunities for us and future generations. Great podcast for anyone who wants an in-depth exploration of what goes in behind the scenes in Utahs wild places.

More about Specific animals

It was really interesting to learn about rattle snakes. I loved learning about what to do if you get bit by a rattlesnake, where they like to nest, and the fun facts like giving birth to live young. I think learning about living alongside these creatures is the most interesting, because we see them all the time. More like this.

Just found this podcast and I love it! I agree with the review that asked for a native cutthroat trout episode. Would also love some episodes about non-game wildlife: birding, native reptiles and amphibians, small mammals, bats, wild horses, even insects. Then some species specific episodes—from cougars to jack rabbits and rattlesnakes to sage grouse and everything in between. Keep the great content coming! Thanks.

Speaking volume too low

I am very excited for the future of this podcast, as long as you stop whispering into the mic.

Audio issues

She is to far away from the mic. The audio is way to low. Great job other then that. The conversation was immersive.

Sound problems.

Great content but your sound is super super low. I had to turn my sound to the max and I could still barely hear you.
