- Could be even better!
Dan is a fantastic historian. And he’s a great storyteller. Unfortunately, he’s not a very good philosopher or theologian. His understanding of both disciplines is often incomplete, incorrect, and oddly anachronistic for a historian. This detracts from what would otherwise be a phenomenal podcast.

He feels hunters and others, if they put forth and then sign up to pursuing a bold vision, could one day be a key part of helping to restore the spectacular wildlife abundance that used to be common in American West. Will hunters commit to helping, or just continue to be complicit in keeping wildlife at greatly diminished populations?

In addition to the breadth of knowledge conveyed, Professor Flores is a master of the penetrating vignette to illumina... more
