In this expert-heavy episode, I find myself a bit out of my league as we poke through some heavy topics. Recorded at the Western Hunt Expo in Salt Lake, we discuss a wide variety of topics from wolf management, mule deer conservation, public perceptions versus reality in wildlife management, ballot box biology, and a host of other hot button talking points. Jim Heffelfinger is the Wildlife Science Coordinator with the Arizona Fish & Game, Author of the book "Deer of the Southwest," and world-renowned research scientist. His expertise is tapped by multiple agencies and hunting platforms, and for good reason. Ed Arnett is the CEO of The Wildlife Society, a Certified Wildlife Biologist, Professor, writer, and hell of an articulate guy who knows what he stands for. Like Heffelfinger, he brings serious expertise both as a hunter AND biologist for some unshakeable credibility on these subject matters.   Ike Eastman, owner of Eastmans Journals, has a lifetime of hunting, hunting media, dedicated conservation work, and has helped build one of the strongest brands in the industry. One of my favorite things about Ike is his unwavering commitment to results-oriented conservation, and how down to earth he is despite the big brand name.  Jim Heffelfinger on Instagram Ed Arnett on Instagram Ike Eastman on Instagram Wildlife Society Website Show Sponsors!
