In this no-holds-barred episode of the Wild Ways Podcast, host Lyman Miller lays it all out from the bush in north central British Columbia. Fresh trapping season updates: weird January thaw messing with sets, down marten numbers but strong prices (XXL averaging $150 at Thompson), solid wolf catches helping ungulates bounce back, and why full-time outdoor living is healing but tough.

Lyman dives deep into long-standing frustrations – forestry companies and government logging over traplines without consultation, the mountain pine beetle epidemic that started unchecked in parks and wrecked monoculture forests, leading to massive fires and habitat loss. He calls out glyphosate spraying's impact on moose and ecosystems, and poor management that's left destruction in its wake.

The core rant: an allegory of a room full of friends divided by "different rules for different fools" in hunting, fishing, and foraging. One group gets exemptions (no licenses, no limits, free access), while regulated folks face strict bag limits, tags, and training – breeding resentment, non-compliance, and threats to real conservation. Lyman warns it's a dangerous game pushing people to ignore laws, but he stays positive, focusing on personal freedom, mental clarity in the wilderness, and influencing the next generation toward adventure.
