Tracking the Epic Journeys: Deer #255 and #665 with Gregory Nickerson of Wyoming Migration Initiative

It is time for another great episode of Wild Things & Wild Places. In this episode Josh gets a chance to chat with Greg Nickerson from the Wyoming Migration Initiative (WMI). They explore the incredible journeys of Wyoming's mule deer, particularly focusing on the long migration of deer #255 and the courageous trek of deer #665.

The episode kicks off with a discussion about deer #255, whose remarkable migration garnered a massive following year after year. Greg delves into the critical work that WMI is doing to study and document these migrations, shedding light on how these journeys are tracked and what they reveal about the health and behavior of our wildlife.

As the episode unfolds, we also learn about deer #665, who began her migration later than most on May 11th, navigating unexpected challenges such as a major landslide near Jackson Hole that closed down highways and mountain passes for weeks. Discover how WMI uses innovative tools and technology to track these migrations and the fascinating stories that emerge from their research.
