EP 375. New Wildlife Management Paradigm: Remove Hunting-related Funding?

Hunting generates gazillions of dollars for wildlife conservation, and everyone in society benefits from wildlife conservation, right? Then why are anti-hunting organizations reinventing the world-envied North American Model by removing crucial hunting-related funding from wildlife management?! Just who the f-bomb are these groups, how are they replacing hard science with social science, how are they leveraging the public trust doctrine against us and--you can not make this stuff up--putting us all on the hook to foot the bill?! Todd Adkins, VP of Government Affairs, Sportsman's Alliance, names names, explains how they are undermining our treasured hand-me-down hunting traditions and--get this--why they're so damned much better at it than we are.      Podcast Sponsors: BOSS Shotshells https://bossshotshells.com/ Benelli Shotguns https://www.benelliusa.com/shotguns/waterfowl-shotguns Tetra Hearing https://tetrahearing.com/ Ducks Unlimited https://www.ducks.org Mojo Outdoors https://www.mojooutdoors.com/p Tom Beckbe https://tombeckbe.com/ Flash Back Decoys https://www.duckcreekdecoys.com/ Voormi https://voormi.com/ GetDucks.com USHuntList.com     It really is duck season somewhere for 365 days per year.
