Join us for our EatWild Backpack Hunter Workshop. Join us for our EatWild Backpack Hunter Workshop. Prep webinar on Aug 11th. In the mountains on Aug 21st & 22nd. One of the most rewarding and successful ways to hunt is to get up into the alpine and stay there until you spot game. Itā€™s an amazing adventure to climb a mountain and set up camp in the alpine where you can see for miles. Nothing is quite as relaxing as laying around in alpine meadows with your binoculars and spotting scope; watching the hills around for some critters to show up. When you spot an animal the excitement begins, and the stalk is on. There are a number of skills that you need to develop in order to backpack into the mountains and thrive in the alpine environment. It takes significant planning and the appropriate gear to stay comfortable and safe. Spot and stalk hunting is a ton of fun and can be very successful with the right techniques and experience. The EatWild mentor team will lead an overnight adventure into the alpine to look for deer habitat and deer. Our group will set up camp in the alpine and then strike out in small guided groups to practice orienteering, mountain travel and spot and stalk hunting techniques. What we will cover in our curriculum: How to pack only the essential backpack gear - staying light is important for an enjoyable hike How to cook in the alpine - we will be using small gas stoves, but I will show you how to cook over a fire too Water management systems - how to avoid getting sick from water Shelter and tarp systems for the alpine camp - finding a sheltered location to set up camp is essential Fire building techniques Emergency shelter building Sat phone communications Understanding alpine deer habitat - Identifying escape terrain, feeding areas, and migration corridors. Orienteering skills What to do if you get lost Picking a good spotting location Spotting and glassing techniques Stalking strategies Meat care in the alpine #eatwild #learntohunt #hunting #bchunting #huntbc #rookiehunter #learntohunt #howtohunt #whatgetsyououtside #huntinglife #huntereducation @jennyp403 @gearjunkierob @celinawolfff @chris.pryn

EatWild 54 - Caribou Management with Biologist Con EatWild 54 - Caribou Management with Biologist Conrad Thiessen We are kicking off a series of podcasts with a focus on learning more about big game species in BC and how they are managed to ensure sustainable wildlife populations and hunting opportunities. In the first episode, I am pleased to welcome wildlife biologist Conrad Thiessen. Conrad has a very cool job in the Northwest corner of BC (Region 6). This is an area of relatively low road density and high wilderness and wildlife values, so he spends his workdays flying around in a helicopter, in spectacular wilderness areas, counting wildlife. Conrad's work is focused on caribou management, so we dive into the topic of caribou, discuss ecotypes, their range, habitat, migration patterns, population status in BC, and methods to assess herd health and numbers. Conrad describes survey and calculation methods, as well as the opportunity to work with First Nations on research projects. He introduces and explains concepts like ā€œcalf recruitmentā€, the ideal calf/cow ratio, and shares details about the delicate and exciting process of ā€œnetting caribouā€ for the purpose of fitting them with research collars. Of course, we get to talk about caribou behaviour, hunting experiences and the ideal time to hunt caribou for optimal taste. We reflect on the impacts of human activity, climate change and predation on caribou population dynamics and Conrad reveals an unlikely, yet successful caribou predator, besides wolves and bears. To keep an eye on Conrad and his adventures in an ā€œunbelievably, indescribablyā€ beautiful place, follow him on Instagram @conrad_thiessen Poster photo credit: Clint Walker This episode is dedicated to Dr. Valerius Geist, wildlife biologist, conservationist, great storyteller, and kind human. You will be missed by the conservation community.

The salmon season has just opened in some areas of The salmon season has just opened in some areas of the Salish Sea. The waters around Secret Cove are open for a daily catch limit of 1 fish between 62cm and 80cm. In recent years, fisheries managers have placed greater restrictions on salmon fishing to support salmon conservation efforts. Loss of critical spawning habitat, invasive species, and warming rivers and oceans are just a few of the factors impacting salmon reproduction and survival rates. So if you are lucky enough to catch a wild salmon, then celebrate these amazing resilient fish by using every part. ā€¢Head - salmon head recovery program ā€¢Bellies and collars - fresh on the BBQ ā€¢Fillets - vac pack and in the deep freeze ā€¢Rib meat - scrape off for fish cakes ā€¢Backbone and ribs - into the soup pot Most importantly, be sure to share with your community and take action to help save our salmon. #saveoursalmon @pacificsalmonfoundation @pacificwild @fisharmy.tv @pacificangler @pacificnetandtwine #eatwild #springsalmon #chinook #salmonfordinner #salmon #salishsea

Took advantage of some mellow tides on the West Co Took advantage of some mellow tides on the West Coast for a beach camping expedition in the Silver Moon. The flat pebble beach made for some luxury living in the @seekoutside Cimarron. A week of fishing, diving, and meals from the sea. Here we collected sea urchin (uni). Their roe is rich and bursting with umami. I made uni pasta with lots of butter, shallots, @jnzdeli smoky sausage, green olives, and the roe from 10 urchins. I skipped the pasta here and used spiralized zucchini for noodles. Finished with white wine and topped with parmigiana. Best enjoyed with an ocean view. šŸ“· @_mi.kee @jennyp403 @reelwestcoast @pacificnetandtwine @fisharmy.tv @haida.lure @mycobb.ca @westcoastkitchencanada #bcfishing #freediving #bamfield #eatwild #uni #umami #seaurchin #westcoastbestcoast #beachcamping

About EatWild

We are a young, Vancouver-based company, so we understand the negative stereotypes which have long been paired with hunting. Over-sized pickup trucks? Road signs with bullet holes? Hick shooting jokes? Weā€™ve heard them all. EatWild wants to be part of something new...
