Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 89 - When Wildlife Commissions Stop Listening
Q: What were the main concerns the team had about the commission's handling of the fur petition?
The team felt the commission prioritized political concerns and procedural issues (like bag limits) over the scientific evidence and data about fur-bearing species, leading to a sense of incompetence and misalignment with CPW's science-based recommendations.
Ep. 74 - Rokcast
Q: What can hunters do to unite and strengthen their cause against anti-hunting groups?
Hunters should engage with their local communities, educate themselves on the legislative process, and contribute financially to advocacy groups to strengthen their efforts against anti-hunting movements.
Ep. 71 - The Sportsman Rep.
Q: If you had the opportunity to lay out a structure for the next 100 years based on what you consider to be a success from the last 100 years, what do we need to do?
We need to go back to the basics regarding water, habitat, and what has worked in the past.
Ep. 71 - The Sportsman Rep.
Q: What do you think the biggest challenge right now is wildlife related, just wildlife related for this commission?
The biggest challenge is separating policy and scientific representation from a political bend from all sides.
Ep. 66 - Story of the Fur Trade
Q: What are some of the coolest things that you have for display here?
NaKaya mentioned the Chief Factor sword and a historical flag from the American Fur Company as some unique items.
