Mark Szczepkowski grew up in Wisconsin and hunted whitetails for years. He eventually moved out west and settled in Idaho. His skills in hunting big whitetail deer followed him, and he was pulling big mountain bucks that were making even the Idaho locals jealous. I got to know Mark very well for the past 10 years, and he is one of the most down to earth humans you will ever meet. He taught me a lot about deer scrapes, tree stand setup, and how to find those MONSTER whitetails that elude other hunters on Public Land. With the rattling and calling techniques and with the techniques Mark has taught me, I have found great success on taking down some big whitetails myself.

On this episode of The Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast, host Rick Saez sits down with Tyler Pierce—a lifelong outdoorsman, mountaineer, and bowhunter whose love for adventure began early among the Colorado Rockies. From summiting his first 14er at age twelve and surviving eight knee surgeries to building his own supplement brand, Panglossian, Tyler shares how the outdoors shaped his resilience, his gratitude, and his drive to keep getting after it. Show Notes What Happened Back when I was 16, I applied for this obscure leadership scholarship—$5K to go live in the backcountry for two months with a bunch of strangers and a couple maps. No phone. No GPS. No “check engine” light for your soul. After 58 days navigating the Rockies, came the solo. Three days. No guides. No group. Just a tarp, a sleeping bag, and a goal: find my way 18 miles across unknown terrain using only coordinates and instinct. I had no idea what I was doing—but I also had no way out. There were no excuses. No parents. No bail-out plan. Just me, some snow-packed passes, and the quiet echo of, “figure it out.” That trip gave me something I couldn't have gotten anywhere else. Gratitude. Grit. And the unshakeable belief that I could handle hard things—even if my boots were frozen solid. Principle We don't grow when things are comfortable. We grow when the path is unclear, the gear is minimal, and the only option is to keep going anyway. The world tells us we need the perfect setup, the best equipment, or the ideal timing. But the truth is—those who succeed in the wild (and in business, and in life) are the ones who move forward even when none of those boxes are checked. Transition Too many folks wait. Wait for more money. More time. The right gear. The perfect plan. But what if the reason you feel stuck isn't a lack of resources—it's the belief that you need them in the first place? That belief is what holds most adventurers, creatives, and would-be founders back. That's Why… That's why this week's episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast with Tyler Pierce isn't just a story—it's a callout. A challenge. A reminder that the wild doesn't reward perfection. It rewards persistence. Tyler went from food stamps to founder, from Columbine survivor to elite bowhunter, from frozen boots to building arrows from animals he harvested himself. And through it all? He never waited to feel “ready.” He just kept moving. Call to Action If you've been waiting for the “right time” to chase the thing calling your name—stop. Waiting only gets you older and more frustrated. Listen to this episode and remember what it means to move with purpose, even when the path is hard.

Woven throughout is a discussion about the need for more durable outcomes for conservation, and why pendulum swings of the "my way or the highway" approach that both political parties use these days is bad for wildlife and conservation.

In this episode of the Artemis Sportswomen Podcast, host Annita Lucchesi sits down with Tanner Saul, Public Lands and Sporting Digital Coordinator and wildlife biologist for the National Wildlife Federation, and Gloria Tom, Senior Policy Advisor with the National Wildlife Federation and a member of the Navajo Nation, for a deep and heartfelt conversation about the Roadless Rule—what it is, why it matters, and what's at stake if it's rescinded. Together, they unpack how the rollback of this critical protection could threaten elk habitat, clean water, and the cultural and treaty rights of Indigenous communities. The discussion explores what defines a roadless area, why these wild places are essential to both traditional and modern hunters, and how Tribal sovereignty and grassroots advocacy are key to keeping them intact for future generations. As sportswomen, we don't fit into any box or stereotype but enjoy being our full, authentic selves. There is no one definition of a sportswoman – Artemis celebrates the million ways to be one, and uplifts sportswomen as unique leaders of the sporting world and conservation. We are a nationwide community reflecting the diversity, leadership, expertise, and sisterhood of women hunters and anglers. Artemis sportswomen encourage one another in their growth and success as hunters and anglers, and role model women's leadership in caring for the lands and waters we harvest from and know so well.

There's something timeless and transformative about America's public lands. From rugged high desert plateaus to windswept ocean cliffs, these wild, open spaces offer more than just breathtaking views, they tell the story of who we are. In this episode, we explore the deep connection between people and place, diving into the history, meaning, and future of the public lands that belong to us all.Public lands are not just outdoor destinations; they are living reflections of our shared values. They hold the footsteps of Indigenous peoples, the ambitions of early explorers, and the everyday stories of hikers, campers, anglers, and families who return to them time and time again. These lands are part of our national identity and a powerful expression of democracy, open to all and protected for future generations.As we recognize National Public Lands Day, we're reminded that appreciation is only the beginning. True stewardship means showing up, speaking out, and taking responsibility for preserving these irreplaceable spaces. Every trail walked, grove visited, and river crossed calls us to protect what has been entrusted to us.Join us as we reflect on the magic of public lands, why they matter now more than ever, and how you can take part in ensuring their stories continue long into the future.Send us a textPlease follow the show so you never miss an episode.

Public land is sometimes looked at a place for poor people to hunt, and that is true. It can also be a place of freedom, exploration, learning, and it can also be home to some real giant bucks if you put in the time and effort to find them. Well, John Breeze is one of those guys that has put in the time and garnered the experience necessary to hunt some truly exceptional whitetails. So, if you're looking for some good ideas on how to tackle public land, you'll love this episode!

When people think about history, especially armed conflicts, many picture dusty textbooks, old maps and long-forgotten generals. But here in Pennsylvania, history isn't just words on a page—it's written into the very ground beneath our feet.From the rolling hills of Gettysburg, where the fate of a nation turned in just three days, to the banks of the Brandywine, where the Revolutionary War nearly lost its footing, to the quiet frontier where settlers clashed in the Whiskey Rebellion—Pennsylvania has been a crossroads for some of the most important struggles in American history.In fact, you can't tell the history of America without looking at the battles that scarred Pennsylvania's landscape. When hatchets, arrows, bullets, swords and cannons left thousands of dead bodies on what was once was peaceful forests and fields.It's also true that you can't tell the stories of Pennsylvania's parks, forests and public lands without looking at the battles that shaped our history. Places like Point State Park, Washington Crossing State Park and Fort Necessity National Battlefield are just a couple of the public lands that we can enjoy and appreciate today.Not to mention places like Colonel Denning State Park, Francis Slocum State Park and Ricketts Glen State Park which are named after influential service members and survivors of battles. The very parks we visit, trails we hike and sites we explore have meaning. And it's important that we know about these hallowed grounds. Now I understand that history is not for everyone. But I think it's all in how you learn about it. History isn't just about battle lines, troop movements and bloody war stories. It's so much more than that.It's about ordinary people—farmers, shopkeepers, immigrants, and families—whose lives were upended by battles happening in their backyards. It's about how communities responded to chaos, how a landscape carried on the memory of those lost and how the echoes of cannon fire shaped the Pennsylvania we live in today. So even if you don't think you're a “history person,” stick around. Because the battles that happened here aren't just about the past—they're about understanding the public lands we have right now.On this episode, I speak with Brady Crytzer. Brady teaches history at Robert Morris University and is the author of several books about Pennsylvania history. Be sure to support our 2025 sponsors:Keystone Trails AssociationPurple Lizard MapsPennsylvania Parks and Forests FoundationSisters' SunflowersSupport the showVisit our website to learn more about the podcast, to purchase merch and to find out about our incredible sponsors.

Paul Hendricks – The Conservation Alliance and the Future of Public Lands

Mountain & Prairie Podcast

Paul Hendricks is the Executive Director of the Conservation Alliance, a coalition of more than 270 businesses working together to protect wild places across North America. Founded nearly four decades ago by Patagonia, REI, The North Face, and Kelty, the Conservation Alliance has grown into one of the most important forces in conservation—pooling dollars, influence, and a collective business voice to support grassroots campaigns that keep public lands and waters healthy for generations to come. At a time when those places are under constant pressure, the Conservation Alliance is showing that businesses don't have to sit on the sidelines—they can be a powerful part of the solution. Paul's own path to this role winds through some of the most interesting corners of the conservation and environmental worlds. After earning a few advanced degrees, he started at Global Greengrants Fund, working with grassroots activists around the globe. He then joined Patagonia's legendary environmental team, where he learned firsthand how a company can weave values into every decision. From there he helped build sustainability programs at Rivian, tackling the climate footprint of a car company from the inside. And woven through all of that is a through-line of humility, service, and adventure. In this conversation, Paul and I talk about the roots of his love for the outdoors, the mentors and lessons that shaped his career, and what it's like to step into the hot seat as a first-time executive director. We dig into the Conservation Alliance's mission and why business advocacy matters, the current threats facing public lands, and how Paul stays grounded in turbulent times. We also talk about family, leadership, failure, and why hope is not just possible but necessary. It's a candid, thoughtful conversation with someone who's not only shaping the future of conservation, but doing it with humility, persistence, and just enough humor to keep it human. I've had the privilege of knowing Paul for almost 15 years–we met when he first moved to Colorado, became running and climbing partners, and have logged more hours together in the mountains and had more meaningful conversations than I can count. Watching him grow into this role has been inspiring, both for the positions he's held and for the way he's carried himself along the way. --- Paul Hendricks The Conservation Alliance Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/paul-hendricks/ --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 2:37 – Intro, Ed's one running partner 4:03 – How the outdoors has shaped Paul's career 6:48 – Plan post-college 12:41 – Sunk-cost fallacy 14:22 – Global Greengrants Fund 17:05 – Learning from Rick Ridgeway 20:23 – Lessons from Patagonia 24:25 – Ready for a new challenge 30:00 – Laid off at Rivian 36:02 – Being in charge 38:01 – The Conservation Alliance history 43:07 – TCA within public lands threats 48:58 – What's missing from the public lands story? 51:49 – Paul's role as a leader 56:14 – Role models 59:04 – Getting outdoors now 1:01:10 – Book recs 1:03:09 – 1% for the Planet collab 1:05:14 – Wrapping up --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

Wildfires are reshaping the landscapes of the American West—and with them, the way we think about public lands and climate resilience. Over the past few decades, fires have grown larger, more severe, and harder to predict. As climate change accelerates and management debates intensify, the stakes couldn't be higher for our forests.Today, we're digging into the science behind these trends and what they mean for the future of our public lands. Joining us is Jacob Levine, whose research explores the complex intersection of climate, land management, and wildfire behavior.Jacob Levine is a plant‐community ecologist and wildfire scientist whose work looks at how climate change, forest management, and extreme weather shape the way fires behave, and how managers, policymakers, and communities can fosters more resilient landscapes. He earned his PhD in 2024 from Princeton University, and is currently a Wilkes Postdoctoral Fellow in Climate Science and Policy at the University of Utah, and scholar in residence at Duke University.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee: ⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist⁠⁠Listener Survey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-----------------Jason LevineWebsite: http://levine-ecology.com/index.php/about/Recent Research: https://attheu.utah.edu/facultystaff/industry-managed-forests-more-likely-to-fuel-megafires/

EPISODE 98 DETAILS “Public Lands” Rule Violation In Repeal The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has started the process to rescind the, Biden-era “Public Lands” rule. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) and Public Lands Council (PLC) challenged the rule in a 2024 lawsuit because it violated the multiple use mandate and would have paved the way for the federal government to remove family ranching operations and other uses from these working lands. Multiple stakeholders voiced their concerns that this rule clearly violated the multiple use mandate under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. NCBA and PLC originally sued BLM over this rule in July of 2024 and were joined in this suit by the American Farm Bureau Federation, American Exploration and Mining Association, American Forest Resource Council, American Petroleum Institute, American Sheep Industry Association, National Mining Association, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, Natrona County Farm and Ranch Bureau, Western Energy Alliance, and Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation.

Leading the charge were 174 head at 1,002 lbs bringing $356.50, followed by 59 head at 1,018 lbs for $355.75, and 116 head at 1,015 lbs at $355.00. Not far behind, 61 head at 1,002 lbs brought $350.75, and 124 head at 1,004 lbs sold for $349.50. Securing five of the top ten all-time national prices in one day, Herreid has firmly established itself as ground zero for premium heavyweight feeders in today's blazing-hot cattle market.

In this episode that the guys recorded a month ago and Dave forgot to publish, Dave and Nephi discuss a recent effort to use the Congressional Review Act to repeal three BLM Respurce Management Plans, and the unintended consequences of such action. They also discuss why hunters are so important to achieving positive conservation outcomes, why influencers can play an important role in achieving the goals, and why we need to keep recruiting new hunters into the ranks. At least, that's we we think we discussed--I mean--we recorded this a month ago.
