Sam is joined this week by two of our own Colorado Resident Hunters; Tim Berges and John Kesler to talk about some of the current hunting and conservation issues Colorado is facing right now.  There is a lot to unpack on this subject and in this episode, specifically 2025 hunting season expectations and game numbers, upcoming 2028 draw changes and what to do with your accrued points between now and then, the "Stop the Wolf" project to end the wolf reintroduction, and much more.  The guys also discuss a new measure; "Initiative 98" coming to light in Colorado, that if gained traction could have a bigger impact on hunting in Colorado than Proposition 127 EVER would have.  It doesn't matter where you live or where you hunt, you need to listen to what these guys have to say and pay attention to what is happening on the conservation battlefield right now. Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/)Bear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/)Trophy Edits (https://trophyedits.com/?ref=fallobsession)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

The news keeps getting worse: over 250 million acres of our public lands potentially up for sale and 3 million or more likely carved out.  While this has been a goal, and a dream, of many radical politicians for the past fifty years, until now it has only been whispered, dog-whistled, lied about, and obscured. Now, their plan is out in the open. The line is drawn in the sand. The gauntlet has been thrown down. The land grabbers have made their play. How will we respond? How do we, the Americans who know and love and depend upon these lands, stop this utterly shameless theft of our national assets? MeatEater Director of Conservation and Backcountry Hunters & Anglers North American Board Chair Ryan Callaghan joins Hal as they discuss what is happening, what's at stake, and how we – all of us American patriots together -- are going to stop this vandalism and theft of the treasures of our nation.

Contained inside the "Big Beautiful Bill," which will influence national priorities for health care, taxation, agricultural policy, and defense spending, is a provision that would require the U.S. government to sell between 2 and 3 million acres of federal land over the next five years to help fill the budget hole created by tax breaks. Hunters and public land advocates strongly oppose this large-scale sale of public lands. And in this episode of the podcast public lands advocate Randy Newberg and OL's conservation editor Andrew McKean explain how bad the land-sale bill truly is — and how hunters have a real opportunity to kill it.

In Episode 504 of District of Conservation, Gabriella is joined by author Braxton McCoy and his Rocky Mountain Radio cohost, Patrick Payne, about the Senate reconciliation provision to sell upwards of 3 million public land acres. The House provision was removed from the final bill, so the same fate could befall the Senate version. But there's still grave concern about this proposal. The guys explain what the plan entails: if it will fix the debt and deficit, if "affordable housing" label is a Trojan horse for selling them, if states are better land managers, why conservatives should care about public lands, why rewilding and overdevelopment are extreme views, and why you can support public and private lands.

Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee is proposing a bill to sell off hundreds of millions of acres of public lands across the West, including 18 million acres in Utah. On Monday, an updated version of the bill was leaked, revealing changes that would mandate the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service Land in the next five years. Sen. Lee has argued that this land would be used to develop affordable housing. But critics are calling his bluff, pointing out that the bill includes no such requirements and overall, has very few limitations on how that land could be used by new owners. - Show Notes - • Map of possible BLM & USFS land for sale under proposed bill https://wilderness.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=821970f0212d46d7aa854718aac42310 Source: The Wilderness Society

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce sits down with Wisconsin BHA Chapter Chair, Alec Bekkers, to talk all things public lands and public land policy! By now, I'm sure you've seen countless posts highlighting the importance of stopping the sale of public lands, and for good reason. But some of you might still be asking, "why?" Alec is here to answer that question and dives into the importance of holding on to our public lands to be used or leased for generations to come, which will in turn generate revenue for the government for years to come unlike a one time sale that only brings in payment once. The guys dive into how nuanced the issue of public lands is, and why talking about the multiple uses of public land are incredibly important for various groups.

After that, the guys touch on some spring hearing questions, the use of cell cams to check traps, and upcoming events to be on the lookout for! To get involved and join the Wisconsin BHA Chapter, or the chapter in whatever state you're from, visit backcountryhunters.org/join and if you want to take action by contacting your Senator, visit backcountryhunters.org/take_action to find your representative Big thanks to our fantastic partners:onX Hunt: www.onxmaps.comHuntworth: www.huntworthgear.comWisconsin Backcountry Hunters & Anglers: www.backcountryhunters.org/wisconsinGood Chance Fly Fishing: www.goodchanceflyfishing.com

Adam Cramer is the CEO of the Outdoor Alliance, a coalition that brings together human-powered outdoor recreation groups to protect public lands and waters. With a deep understanding of both policy and recreation, Adam has helped position the Outdoor Alliance as a powerful voice in the national conservation movement—bridging the gap between grassroots outdoor communities and high-level decision-making in Washington, DC. Before launching into public lands advocacy, Adam spent years working as an attorney in DC. But outside the office, his life was centered on outdoor adventure—he started as a skateboarder, then became a climber, and eventually a whitewater kayaker. A chance encounter in a river parking area led to his first pro bono conservation case, and that spark ultimately evolved into his full-time vocation. Adam's story is a testament to the idea that if you care deeply about a place, there's a way to use your unique skills to help protect it. In this conversation, we talked about the origins of the Outdoor Alliance, Adam's evolution from attorney to coalition-builder, and why generosity—not dominance—is his guiding principle for leadership. We discussed why civic engagement matters more than ever, how outdoor recreation can build bipartisan bridges, and why showing up—even when it feels small—can make a real difference.  It's worth noting that we recorded this conversation in early June 2025, just as a wave of new legislation and political turbulence was rolling across the public lands landscape. Since then, things have continued to change rapidly. If you care about the future of outdoor recreation and conservation in this country, I highly recommend signing up for the Outdoor Alliance's newsletter or following them on social media to stay informed and involved.  Again, a big thanks to the Mighty Arrow Family Foundation for introducing me to Adam, and another big thanks to Patagonia Denver for generously letting us use their community room to record this conversation.

President Donald Trump is expected to reverse President Joe Biden's designation of two national monuments in California supported by area tribes. The Department of Justice issued an opinion that it is in the president's purview to do away with Chuckwalla National Monument and Sáttítla Highlands National Monument. There is additional pressure to at least reduce the side of Bears Ears National Monument and Grand Staircase Escalante as President Trump did during his first term. The changes to national monuments also come as Republicans in Congress propose selling millions of acres of federal land, some of which is important to nearby tribes. We'll get a rundown of the likely land moves and how it affects people. We'll also hear about the final piece in a land transfer to the Yurok Tribe that comprises the largest return of land to a tribe in California history. Nearly all of the Yurok's traditional land — 90% — was taken during the time known as the California Gold Rush.

In this episode of The Deer Shop Podcast, Caleb and Isaac dive into the hot-button issue of government land grabs and the controversial attempts to sell off BLM (Bureau of Land Management) lands under what was dubbed "Trump's Big Beautiful Bill." We break down what it could mean for hunters, public land access, and the future of outdoor recreation. The conversation then shifts to the often-overlooked struggles of deer farming, from rising costs to weather and logistics problems. We finish off with an update on our food plots at the Family Dream Farm—what's working, what isn't, and what we're excited about as fall approaches. Grab a seat at the shop and join the conversation.

State Game Commissions set hunting seasons and bag limits, and direct wildlife management of all species in their states. Anti-hunters know this, which is why Commissions are under attack. The guys discuss a proposal in Colorado that could take authority away from the state game commission and lead to a reduction in hunting opportunities. They also discuss some of the chaos that's going on with the Washington Game Commission. 

On Wednesday, June 11, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) released a proposal that mandates the sale of 2-3 million acres of public lands in 11 Western States (except Montana). You've probably seen the talking points, but what does the proposal actually say, and what would it actually do. Dave and Nephi do a deep dive into the text, and let you know all of the gory details. Hint: don't take the bait that this is about "affordable housing."It isn't. We will explain.  Share this podcast with everyone you know. This is not a drill. This is not crying wolf. This is something that could actually happen. Time is of the essence.  Oh, and thanks for listening to our 200th episode!
