Скачать или смотреть Wood Bison Field Identification

A major challenge for Yukon's wildlife managers is the maintenance of bison numbers while not jeopardizing the herd's long term health. To avoid problems with genetic diversity and reproduction in the future, wildlife managers are trying to maintain a fairly even sex ratio in the herd. That means that hunters should be selective in their choice of animal.

This video provides historical information on bison in Yukon. It also provides clues and signs to look for that can give a hunter a better idea of the sex and age of the animal being selected for harvest.

Use this video to learn how to butcher your big game harvest. Professional meat cutter Kevin Bowers discusses and demonstrates techniques for getting the most out of your game meat. An excellent guide for those who want to "do it themselves".

This video was created as part of the Yukon Hunter Education and Ethics Development (HEED) Program.
