Episode 55 Featuring Jim Akenson---The Oregon Wolf Episode
Jim Akenson spent half his career studying the ecosystem of the Frank Church, River of No Return Wilderness in central Idaho and the role of predators there. He is at the epicenter of the Oregon Wolf Management Plan. In this episode of Fin and Fire With Jeff Mishler I sit with Jim at his home in Enterprise, Oregon and dive deep into the controversy of wolves on the landscape, the role of hunters and how to sustain a culture of passionate active participants in an outdoor lifestyle.
About Jeff Mishler
Jeff Mishler is a fifth generation Oregonian who's life work is hard to quantify. Father, writer, photographer, television commercial director, environmentalist, video producer/distributor, website manager, hunter, angler and lifelong recreationist who lives a fly-by-the-seat-of-yourpants mantra. If he’s not in his office writing another essay or developing a show concept, he’s chasing mallards and pheasants with his lab Hailey, running his jet sled up a local river to a sweet steelhead run, setting up on a screaming bull elk with bow in hand or conspiring with his small circle of equally affected steelhead bums while downing healthy portions of really good Oregon beer.
