Live from the Mile High Hunt and Fish Expo, Whitney sits down with Dan Gates, who led the fight on Colorado’s Proposition 127 to keep mountain lion hunting alive. They discuss the ongoing challenges and victories in the realm of hunting and conservation and emphasize the importance of grassroots movements and individual engagement in legislative battles against anti-hunting initiatives. The conversation highlights the need for a consistent message against opposition, and the significance of science-based wildlife management. They emphasize the role of education in changing perceptions about hunting and wildlife management, and the necessity of building a coalition of supporters to advocate for sustainable practices.  This conversation is in collaboration with the Through the Gates Podcast and Rokslide’s Rokcast.
