On this episode I break down my past weekend of deer and squirrel hunting. It always seems like once you switch gears, that's when the deer start showing up! I then work into some conservation news. First thing is the new bill to conserve 700,000 acres in Colorado's Gunnison Basin. This bill has heard over a decade of stakeholder engagement so it is long overdue. Next we switch gears to the vice presidential debate and JD Vance's comments on selling federal land to build housing. This is dangerous and it doesn't matter which party or political candidate you lean toward. And lastly, I talk about the amazing work the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is doing to provide more access for the general public. 6660 acres in WY, 160 acres in CO, 649 acres in PA, 15537 acres in OR, 2600 acres in UT, and a whopping 55,636 acres in KY! Great work by those folks and make sure you go support them! #somethinginthewild #keepitwild https://www.somethinginthewild.com/ https://www.instagram.com/tylerpatricsmith/ https://www.tiktok.com/@tylerpatricsmith
