On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce flies solo to share the story of how he punched his turkey tag and the need for action in light of Wisconsin's DNR budget cuts. In a recent article from Outdoor Life, it was announced that the state of Wisconsin will be reducing stocking efforts and wildlife surveys in 2027 due to budgetary issues. Pierce dives into why leaning into Conservation Organizations and doing everything we can to be the best conservationists and stewards of the land is more important than ever right now, to attempt to fill the gap created by these budgetary issues.
