Agenda based political propaganda
The episodes sound like Polis’ personal voice for degrading the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. It celebrates our greatest failures like they are greatest successes. Our poor wildlife.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3E1: 3.1 – Range Riding with CPW’s Max Morton

Q: Max, can you explain what is range riding?

Range riding has two main definitions: a traditional, on-the-ground approach near livestock and a newer, predator-focused approach using tools like collars and cameras. In Colorado, the program aims to balance livestock protection with wolf conservation by starting with the herd's behavior and expanding outward to monitor predators, using hazing strategically to influence wolf behavior.
