247. This is YOUR Fight!
Do you like your electronic collars? Your tracking collars? Do you think its right for houndsmen to be prevented from chasing mountain lions and bobcats? Do you think its silly to have the public vote on a measure that would outlaw lynx hunting even though they're already on the endangered species list and therefore its already illegal to hunt them?\nBrace yourselves as this episode we jump on the soap box and we stay there! Chris Powell of the Houndsman XP joins me to catch us up on what is happening in Colorado as it pertains to Initiative 91 and what that means for hunters regardless of your game of choice and why it matters even though you don't live there. Chris and I have a very open conversation on where each of us thinks the hunting community/culture currently is and how we can stop standing on our heels and start taking the fight to the other side. We are always on defense and reacting. Its time for all hunters to take charge.\n\nWe aren't fur hunters or bird hunters. We are hunters!\n\nDeath by a 1,000 cuts over decades. This didn't happen overnight.\n\nDoes the term "science" mean anything anymore?\n\nLead from where you are\n\nThe nonprofit organizations are built to sustain us but not fight for us!\n\nWe don't want to be talking about this anymore than you want to be hearing about this\n\nWe inherited this. What are we passing on?\n\n\nLinks discussed in the episode:\nColoradans for Responsible Wildlife Management\nHoundsman XP Episode: Battleground 2024 February Update\nColorado's Wildlife Deserve Better\nRandy Newberg's Future Role of Hunters and Hunting (Part 1 of 4)\n\n-\nGDIY Links:\nPatreon | Instagram | Facebook | Website\nLearn more about your ad choices.
