Summary: In this episode, we discuss Proposition 127 in Colorado, which seeks to change the regulations surrounding mountain lion hunting. The guests explore the implications of this proposition on conservation, food security, and the culinary value of mountain lion meat. The conversation includes personal experiences from hunters, the challenges of hunting mountain lions, and the public perception of eating predators. The guests also emphasize the importance of responsible wildlife management and the need for hunters and non-hunters alike to unite against extremist views that threaten hunting rights. - Leave a Review of the Podcast - Buy our Wild Fish and Game Spices Links: Coyote Steak Bites Red Curry Braised Bobcat New Product: Mountain Lion Hunting T-Shirt and Water Bottle Guest: Jeremy and Chandra Sanderson, partners with three children, truly shatter the "trophy hunter" caricature that the anti-hunting industry presents —they love wildlife, fight for conservation, and honor their harvest with beautiful culinary creations. Mike Costello is an "adult-onset hunter" in California and a contributor to HOWL for Wildlife. As a conservation advocate, he believes all native species deserve a place to thrive and that true conservation success results in an abundance of critters and the opportunity for people to sustainably hunt, harvest, and participate in nature. Ways to Help: Wildlife Deserve Better Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management Takeaways: Proposition 127 aims to ban mountain lion hunting in Colorado. Hunting is a crucial part of wildlife management and conservation. Mountain lion meat is edible and can be delicious. Public perception of eating predators is often influenced by cultural programming. The consequences of banning mountain lion hunting could be detrimental to ecosystems. Hunters contribute significantly to conservation funding and wildlife management. Engaging in conversations about hunting can help change perceptions. Voting and supporting responsible wildlife management organizations is essential. The anti-hunting movement is gaining traction and could affect other states. Food security is a fundamental right that includes the right to hunt.  Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Proposition 127 and Its Implications 03:04 The Role of Hunting in Conservation and Food Security 05:53 Personal Experiences with Mountain Lion Hunting 08:47 Culinary Aspects of Mountain Lion Meat 11:59 The Challenges of Hunting Mountain Lions 14:56 The Impact of Proposition 127 on Wildlife Management 18:03 Public Perception of Eating Predators 20:55 The Consequences of Banning Mountain Lion Hunting 23:53 Call to Action: Supporting Responsible Wildlife Management 26:57 Final Thoughts and Closing Remarks Keywords: Proposition 127, mountain lion hunting, conservation, food security, wildlife management, culinary uses, hunting rights, Colorado, ethical hunting, predator meat Learn more about your ad choices.

WHY YOU NEED TO VOTE NO ON THE MOUNTAIN LION HUNTING BAN I know, I know, they are very pretty. And can be very dangerous when meeting up with humans and civilization. Our mountain lion population has been well managed for a long time by biologists at the Colorado Parks and Wildlife division for years. We have a very healthy population that has grown and is maintained with things like controlled hunting to keep the numbers at a level where the cats have enough space to call their own. Today I've got Mike Costello with HOWL on to talk about California's hunting ban and what it's done there. It's not good. Find out more about HOWL by clicking here, and read his column about it here.

The Wildlife Conservation Battlefield is one not normally occupied, nor perhaps even thought about by the every-day outdoors man and woman.  Hunter's rights are constantly being attacked and manipulated by the anti-hunting community, and it may be closer than you realize to impacting you directly.  However, organizations like HOWL for Wildlife are making it possible for every outdoor enthusiast and hunters to have their voice heard.  Mike Costello and John Stallone are two faces of this organization; and they are dedicated to preserving the future of wildlife and hunting through science-based wildlife management and conservation, and not ballot-box wildlife decisions.  Join us for a rich and intense conversation discovering how hunting is slowly and strategically being cut away, what HOWL is currently doing, and how you yourself can better represent your outdoor passions and make your voice known!For more info on HOWL for Wildlife, visit https://www.howlforwildlife.org/Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Ridge Rock Hunt Company (https://ridgerockhuntcompany.com/)Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

Dan Gates with Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management, Charles Whitwam, and Mike Costello with HOWL for Wildlife link up with the Big Hunt Guys while attending the Western Hunt Expo to discuss conservation and the threats to hunting, fishing, and trapping. Over the past few years, there has been an unprecedented rise in anti-hunting sentiment, manifested in unfounded legislation, poor wildlife management policy, and hypocritical leadership. Anti-hunters want hunting to end forever. The group discusses the need for groups like CRWM and HOWL and why they were established. They also discuss the current campaign by animal rights activists to eliminate mountain lion and bobcat hunting in Colorado and how sportsmen can aid in the fight to preserve the traditions and right to hunt and fish. HOWL and CRWM contribute to amplifying that voice of the hunting community! This is a must-listen; becoming aware of the issues and learning how to contribute is more critical than ever.

Mike Costello is the host of the Hunting Ain't Easy Podcast, a hunter out of Northern California, and an advocate for hunting rights. Mike took some issue with the recent "Is Hunting Conservation" series I have been doing with Chris Roe and Guy Duplantier, which is part of our goal in doing the series. So I invited him back on the show to talk about it! After catching up, we discuss his reaction to the series, where he feels like we went wrong, and what he thinks hunters should focus on as solutions to the current battle for the future of hunting. He describes what he means with the term "Hunting is Human(e)" and what kind of messaging hunters should be sending to non-hunters. Hunting Ain't Easy on Instagram As hunters, I strongly believe a course correction is necessary to build public support for what we do. We are getting hammered in the court of public opinion and have completely lost control of the narrative. While some may think that I, personally, would have been turned off by Mike's criticism, I would strongly encourage them to understand that I welcome it when it comes to this topic. We had a robust conversation, and I respect Mike for coming on and laying his perspective out. I cerainly don't have the answer as to what we as a community need to do, it's going to take a collective of voices united against one common enemy. We may disagree on how we get there, but getting there is what's important. If you have a comment, question, or input on the premise of these conversations, please don't hesitate to email me. jim@thewesternhuntsman.com Check Out Eastmans Hunting Journals for more content!

Amy Dawson and Mike Costello are farmers, chefs, owners of Lost Creek Farm, a historic family farmstead located in Harrison County, West Virginia. They describe their cuisine as Story-Rich, Heritage-inspired - Mountain Cuisine. They have been nominated for a 2022 James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef, Southeast!. We recorded together in 2016, and I am so happy that they have turned their vision for revitalizing this family farm into a reality. Also, Fred Sauceman with a story and recipe from the late Raymond Bautista, Elizabethton, TN.

Mike Costello is a Northern California hunter and host of the Hunting Ain't Easy Podcast. He has been instrumental on the front lines of the fight for hunting's future. He has proven experience dealing with legislative issues and communicating with state wildlife agencies, and is willing to share that experience and knowledge to hunters everywhere.  In this episode, we discuss his hunting background, some of his favorite hunting tips, bear hunting, deer hunting, and how hunters can better prepare themselves to assist in the fight against the anti-hunting movement.
