A glade by definition is "an open space in a forest" and the Ozarks used to be covered in this habitat. Now, most of our glades are overgrown with cedars and mature forests and they're rare to find, but when you do find one, you're going to want to keep note of it. They are absolute hot spots for certain animals many of us pursue due to the biodiversity of habitat, plants, insects, etc. that you won't find elsewhere in the Ozarks.In this episode we talk with Dr. Casey Brewster about all the things he's involved in from glades to pack goats and even get into Dr. Brewster's part in current smallmouth research being conducted in the Ozarks. We cover: The importance of identifying glade habitat as an outdoorsman and how different animals benefit from having this rich habitat available to them the disappearance of glades in the Ozarks what can be done to restore them on your own property and public lands hunting with pack goats and Dr. Brewster's non-profit organization Snake Mountain Pack Goats The smallmouth research that Dr. Brewster is involved in on hybridization of Smallmouth and identifying unique subspecies of Smallmouth Bass in the Ozarks We hope you enjoy!SUBSCRIBER ONLY PODCAST --> The Check StationThe Ozark podcast sits down with men and women from the Ozarks who have a passion for the outdoors.

These are real stories that take place in our backyard in places whose names you will recognize. The first story is about a prominent man, one of the original settlers who called the Ozarks home, who went hand to hand with a panther to defend his own life and his 5 year old son's life while out gathering honey one day. The second story is about a man protecting his crop by battling a bruin, showing what life was like for our ancestors back in the time when defending your crop was defending your livelihood. Both stories are wild and lots of fun and sure to give you something to talk about this holiday season.
