Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 96 | Rebuilding America’s Refuges | Director Brian Nesvik
Q: What role do you see for hunting within the refuges going forward?
Hunting remains a use, not the top priority, but the aim is to make refuges open to the maximum extent legal, with species and seasons aligned to state practices, while preserving the refuges' purpose and safety.
Ep. 96 | Rebuilding America’s Refuges | Director Brian Nesvik
Q: How do you balance the needs of infrastructure, staffing, and budgets across the refuge system?
The goal is to align resources with needs through a comprehensive review, addressing deferred maintenance, increasing boots on the ground, and ensuring operations deliver a high-quality experience for users while protecting habitats.
Ep. 96 | Rebuilding America’s Refuges | Director Brian Nesvik
Q: What does a day in your life look like as the director of the Refuge System?
A typical day starts with the team to align on hot issues, followed by many meetings with other agencies, the public, and regional staff to coordinate priorities and ensure the system can move forward with balanced, future-looking actions.
Ep. 92 | Baiting Laws Explained: Federal Agents Break It Down | Rich Grosz & Jay Pilgrim
Q: What is the appropriate entry point if we're going to talk about the history of baiting?
Discussing the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which dates back to 1916, is crucial as its regulations have significantly impacted baiting laws.
Ep. 91 | Does Duck Hunting Really Hurt Duck Populations? | Senior Scientist Todd Arnold
Q: Can you give the listener again just a real quick, you know, status update on what we've discussed?
The punchline of hunter harvest is not the driving factor.
