On this episode, we sit down with Mark Kenyon — author, conservationist, and host of the Wired to Hunt podcast — to break down the most pressing threat to our public lands in recent history. A controversial proposal buried inside the "Big Beautiful Bill" could result in the largest public land sale in modern U.S. history, initially targeting over 3 million acres of BLM and Forest Service land throughout 11 western states. Mark is helping lead the fight to make sure that doesn't happen.
🏔️ Topics Include:
Why this proposal is a slippery slope that could impact hunters, anglers, hikers, and outdoor lovers across the country
How public lands provide economic, ecological, recreational, and even national identity value
What you can do right now to help stop the sell-off — including how to contact your senators and representatives
Whether you hunt the mountains of Utah or hike the forests of Vermont, this episode explains why every American should care. Losing even one acre sets a dangerous precedent. It’s time to speak up. Make the call!
