The Bidwell Way: Restoring Land with Fire, Grazing, and a Little Grit | BGWT #422 33:10

3 days ago33:10

33:10

In this episode of Blazin’ Grazin’ and Other Wild Things , Dr. Bidwell — emeritus professor and longtime OSU Extension specialist — shares how prescribed fire, patch grazing, and a deep understanding of native plants can turn overgrown pastures into thriving, profitable landscapes. From chasing helicopters to chasing quail, his experience is equal parts science and grit. We dive into the real-world application of fire on the land, why “weeds” might actually help your cattle, and how seasonality affects everything from forage to wildlife. Plus, you’ll hear how Bidwell and others helped shift decades of landowner perception to embrace fire as a powerful tool for conservation. Whether you’re a landowner, rancher, or just love a good story from the fire line, this episode brings wisdom, wit, and the kind of practical knowledge you can’t find in a textbook.

Hunting Access, Hometown Impact | WildAg #420 1:12:47

10 days ago1:12:47

1:12:47

Have you ever struggled to find areas to hunt? Especially in Nebraska, where over 97% of the state is privately owned land, access to hunting can be difficult to come by. We know from previous research that a lack of access is also a top reason why people stop hunting or don't start at all. But public access programs like Open Fields and Waters and the Nebraska Community Access Partnership are tackling this issue head-on. For any hunter interested, these programs provide access to quality private lands to hunt; for landowners, it's another way to bring in a little extra income. This month we are joined by Adam Kester, Access Program Manager at the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, and Addie Piernicky, NCAP Coordinating Wildlife Biologist at Pheasants Forever, to learn all about how these programs are transforming hunting access in Nebraska and beyond.
