Meateater podcast on Mountain caribou in the Selkirks
« on: September 28, 2016, 06:18:18 PM »
I've known there were caribou that frequented N.E. Washington for a long time. However, that was pretty much the extent of my knowledge on them. That is until I listened to a recent Meateater podcast. Episode number 42 was spent talking about the mountain caribou in the Selkirks and the sad state they are currently in. Steve Rinella had a biologist on to speak about the caribou (the biologist is a member on here). He did a really good job of informing the listeners on the plight of this herd. I highly recommend everyone listen to this podcast. It is an eye opener and quite frankly I'm kind of upset this isn't a bigger issue on a larger stage. Honestly there are animals in a lot less danger getting far more help. Help they probably don't even need. Anyway, I recommend listening to it.

Don't mean to sound like a &^@* but WDFW has much better options to spend their dime on. Not that they choose to do so by any means.  Although there has been mtn caribou there before, I've seen no sign and know some pretty knowledgable guys there that agree. However, grizz sign is all over. My limited time in the area is far from many, but I feel it's best to leave a lost cause alone. :twocents:

Thanks for the link, and I will listen to the podcast.

I understand. I pretty much thought the same thing. Until I listened to the podcast.

There are only 12. That's why you haven't seen any.

The Washington Selkirks or the Canadian Selkirks? I've seen pics of Canadian Selkirk caribou.

If those 12 are known to reside in Washington more than BC, I'll be amazed. Be nice to hear it out of the horses mouth.......pending it's valid and non-argumentative.

Very good discussion, definitely worth investing in.  They are a native species, we can't just let them go extinct.

That's the way I feel about it too.  The herd uses the border and spends some time in the US.  If it goes away there will never be any hope of caribou in the lower 48. 

Sometimes you have to do things because it's the right thing to do, despite it being really difficult
