This series highlights the highs and lows of hunting public land across different regions of America — the early mornings, the pressure, the competition, and the grind that comes with earning every bird.In this episode, Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Kyle Clark from the great state of Texas to talk about duck hunting around the DFW area and what it takes to find success in one of the most heavily pressured areas in the state.Kyle shares what hunting is like around Dallas-Fort Worth, including the extremely early mornings required to beat the crowds and secure a quality hunting spot. They discuss the competition for public and pressured hunting areas and the lengths hunters will go to in order to get on the birds.The conversation also turns to some of Kyle's best hunts from the previous waterfowl season, along with the memorable moments and birds that stood out the most.Kyle also tells the story of the oddest duck he's ever taken in East Texas, making for one of the more unusual waterfowl stories you'll hear.This series is brought to you by the great people at Chêne Gear.

Pete Six joins the podcast to break down early-season strategies and the important factors that can make or break a hunt, including access, wind, and how to approach pressured public-land bucks. The conversation dives into the thrill of the chase in public-land woods and what keeps hunters coming back even when the odds are stacked against them. They also take a deeper look at the hunting industry, discussing both the good and bad that come with the growth of hunting media, brands, and the business side of the sport.

Our first Doc! The US Government is building a pointless wall through America's last wild border. This flagrant breach of public trust begins in Big Bend and ends in your backyard. Watch the full documentary with NO ADS at https://www.rfemedia.com/or on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/ColonialOutcastsDO NOT be distracted by “the pause.” Bulldozers are tearing through protected desert, sacred grounds, and decades of federal protections along the last truly wild stretch of the US-Mexico border. “Big Bend Betrayal” goes inside the fight between local conservationists, concerned citizens, border communities and a federal government contract awarded to a major Trump donor. You will see how ludicrous this border construction is, and how it is part of a larger normalization campaign to break the protections on all public lands in the continental United States. The end goal: privatize everything. After the midterms on Nov 3rd, the assault will continue…

Fitz Cahall is the creator of the legendary outdoor podcast The Dirtbag Diaries, co-founder of the creative agency Duct Tape Then Beer, and author of the excellent book States of Adventure. But most recently, he's gone from prolific creative mind to public lands advocate with the launch of Save Public Lands, a campaign that gives public land lovers of all stripes, from climbers to hunters, a way to go on the offense against the ongoing attacks on our public lands. The goal is a million signatures on a short letter with three clear demands: no more sell-offs, no more giveaways to foreign companies and billionaires, and no more backroom deals. Those signatures get delivered to DC and statehouses around Public Lands Day on September 26th. Partners include Outdoor Alliance, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, MeatEater, The Conservation Alliance, and The Wilderness Society. Fitz got his start in the mid-2000s scraping by as a freelance journalist, a job he refers to as "naked subsistence hunting." In 2007, he took a few stories that hadn't sold and turned them into a podcast. He emailed it to 30 friends. The next day 30 people had listened, then 300, then 3,000. Nearly 20 years later, he and his wife and creative partner Becca have built Duct Tape Then Beer into a story studio behind award-winning films and podcasts, all guided by one rule: the work has to strengthen people's connections to the natural world and to each other. We talked about how Save Public Lands came together, why Fitz chose offense over defense, and how a coalition this politically diverse—hunters, climbers, skiers, veterans, and legacy conservation groups—managed to find common ground and rally around a shared goal. Then we lightened it up and got into his creative life, including why he treats creative work like a band rather than a solo act, how he and Becca avoided chasing money for its own sake, what he does when his enthusiasm dips, and why he believes doubt and optimism are far more powerful together than either one alone. It's worth noting I consider Fitz a role model in a lot of ways, and I don't think Mountain & Prairie would exist without his example. I've been listening to The Dirtbag Diaries since the days when you had to download podcasts onto your computer, load them onto your iPod, then plug the iPod into the tape deck in your truck to listen. That's exactly what I was doing back then, driving around trying to sell real estate, and those stories cracked open a whole way of living and working that I didn't know was available to me. So thank you, Fitz, for all of it. There's a link below to sign the letter. It takes about 20 seconds, so there's no excuse not to do it. I loved this conversation, and I hope you enjoy. --- SAVE PUBLIC LANDS – Sign the Letter!

The future of waterfowl hunting depends on more than ducks. It depends on community, storytelling, and getting new people involved.Recorded live from the Duck Den at DUX 2026, host Jimbo Robinson sits down with the team behind Split Reed: Zach, Brennan, and Max. The conversation explores how a digital waterfowl publication grew into a community-driven platform focused on hunting, conservation, storytelling, and helping new hunters find their place in the sport.The group discusses the origins of Split Reed, the success of the Road Duck Tour series, public land hunting culture, and why authentic storytelling continues to resonate in an increasingly crowded digital world. Along the way, they share thoughts on recruiting young hunters, building friendships through waterfowling, and why community is still the most important part of the sport.Topics CoveredThe origin and mission of Split ReedBuilding a waterfowl-focused media communityThe Road Duck Tour seriesPublic land duck hunting and DIY adventuresStorytelling in modern hunting cultureRecruiting and inspiring new huntersWaterfowl industry friendships and partnershipsWhy community remains central to waterfowlingDUX 2026 highlights and favorite productsListen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.orgSPONSORS:Bird Dog Whiskey and Cocktails:Whether you're winding down with your best friend, or celebrating with your favorite crew, Bird Dog brings award-winning flavor to every moment.

Minnesota's Governor Tim Walz signed an executive order using the power he has to help protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, but the fight is not over yet.

The fallout from President Trump's recent executive order slashing the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monuments continues. Now, we're getting a better idea of how Utahns feel about the move. But what's really interesting is this kind of juxtaposition we saw in the polling results. According to polling from the Deseret News and Hinckley Institute of Politics, a majority of Utahns oppose shrinking the monuments. But at the same time, a wide majority of Utahns support putting public lands in the hands of local governments. Greg and Holly break it all down.

In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we're joined by Pat Burns to break down his incredible six-year pursuit of a giant public land whitetail he called the “Electric Buck.” After finding his first set of sheds, Pat spent years collecting trail camera data, tracking through the snow, studying scrapes, and piecing together the buck's movement across thousands of acres. That obsession eventually brought him face-to-face with an 11.5-year-old whitetail. Pat shares everything the journey taught him about mature buck behavior and why, sometimes, the pursuit means more than the kill. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll catch you next week.

Free National Parks and Public Land access days are right around the corner. Next Tuesday is the 110th birthday of the National Park Service and an opportunity for parkgoers to access national parks for free. Also upcoming on Saturday, September 26th, is National Public Lands Day, a volunteer event offering free admission to many sites. KCSB's Mavis Holley spoke with UCSB Environmental Studies lecturer Deborah Williams about how to find freely accessible public lands near you.

Six duck hunting podcast hosts---Joel Brice The Voice of The Duck Hunter, Billy Campbell Dr. Duck, Jeff Stanfield the Big Honker, Joey Vasallo Midwest Flyways, Jon Sandbeck The Filthy Spoon and myself--sit down together at Delta Waterfowl Expo to talk public-land pressure, hunting behavior, and getting along. We may not solve the bigger problems facing duck hunting today, but one question matters most before opening day: How are we going to treat each other this season?

When the political moment feels overwhelming, what role do public lands actually play? Are they a luxury issue or something more fundamental to democracy itself?These are some of the core questions at the root of our conversation today, but much of what we need to know to protect our public lands might actually come from the history of these lands themselves. Will De Man is a Michigan-based educator, writer, and public land advocate. He combines history and advocacy to help his audience understand and respond to the many issues our public lands and national parks are facing. And as you'll hear in my full conversation with Will, he challenges us to reevaluate our relationship with civic engagement, to find beacons of hope through dark times, and to reflect on the history that has brought us to the public lands we know and love today.

Jesse Johnson is back on Fall Obsession Podcast, and this time we're talking traditional bowhunting, a hard-earned black bear redemption hunt in Canada, hunting ethics, conservation, family, and what it really means to be a hunter. Jesse shares the story of returning to Canada after a previous unsuccessful bear hunt and finally punching his tag with a traditional bow. But this hunt was about much more than putting a bear on the ground. We talk about the mental challenge of the hunt, getting close enough to make an ethical shot, and why traditional archery is so much more about the process and the challenge than simply the size of the animal. The conversation also takes a deeper look at the responsibility hunters have as stewards of wildlife and ambassadors for the hunting community. Jesse and Sam discuss conservation, the role hunting plays in wildlife management, and why how we represent hunting. Jesse also opens up about balancing a passion for hunting with being a husband and father, introducing his kids to the outdoors, and the impact hunters can have on people who may not initially understand or support hunting. From a Canadian black bear redemption hunt to traditional archery, hunting ethics, conservation, family—this is an honest conversation about the why behind the hunt.Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

This series highlights the highs and lows of hunting public land across different regions of America — the early mornings, the pressure, the competition, and the grind that comes with earning every bird.In this episode, Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver head back to the Buckeye State with two hunting buddies who share their experiences chasing ducks on the public waters of Ohio.They discuss some incredible black duck hunting, what makes Ohio's public waters such a unique destination for waterfowl hunters, and the challenges that come with sharing productive hunting areas with other people. They also tell stories about inconsiderate hunters and an ill placed barge on a foggy morning boat ride.The conversation also turns to the impact of EHD (Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease) on the local deer population.

Welcome back to the Jeep Talk Show! In this episode, Tony sits down with Tom Zielinski — lifelong off-roader, event creator and operator, Tread Lightly! board member, former racer, and one of the most connected people in the off-road and automotive event world. Tom shares stories from the "alleged" early days of sneaking into gravel pits, the motivation behind serving on the Tread Lightly board, why he still rides the bumper a little too close on the trail, and how Detroit traffic and Houston Beltway driving shaped his need for speed. They talk V8 Gladiator dreams, meeting at Easter Jeep Safari, the magic (and occasional chaos) of Moab, and why new people at EJS come away wide-eyed. Tom also opens up about appearing on the Automotive Advantage podcast with Dr. Jamie Meyer and Justin Chesler, how he builds real industry relationships ("be in the mix every day, don't be an idiot, follow through"), the origin story of his events (born from dealership sponsorship frustration and a bit of youthful guilt), and the importance of Off-Road 101 education. Key Highlights Tom's path from power-sports dealerships and mentors to creating major events Why Holly Oaks works so well and how new Jeepers become "one of us" Tread Lightly, trail stewardship, and the difference between appropriate "shenanigans" and damaging public lands The heartwarming side of guiding first-timers and industry newcomers at Moab and 4Fest Real talk on building contacts, saying yes (sometimes too often), and staying behind the curtain while delivering **Timestamps 00:00 Introducing Tom Zelensky and His Off‑Road Journey 00:52 – Trail Etiquette: Slow Down and Enjoy the Ride 01:38 – Houston Beltways: Toll Roads and Unrestricted Speed 02:32 – From Detroit Trucks to Jeeps: Embracing Speed 03:10 – TRX Launch and Dreaming of a V8 Jeep 03:46 – Rumors of a Hemi‑Powered Gladiator 04:10 – Connecting at EJS: Meeting Tom and New Friends 04:46 – Moab Adventures and Jeep Overload 06:13 – First‑Timer Experiences and Detroit Four Fest Highlights 07:22 – Crowd Perceptions at Easter Jeep Safari 07:55 – Community Dynamics and Curmudgeons at Off‑Road Events 09:19 – Networking at EJS and Introducing the Automotive Advantage Podcast 11:39 – Overview of the Automotive Advantage Podcast and Its Hosts 13:02 – Recap of the Automotive Advantage Interview and Upcoming Projects 14:28 – The "Magic" of Networking and Staying in the Mix 17:05 – Half‑Day Work Ethic and the Importance of Follow‑Through 17:52 – Motivation Behind Events, Business Insights, and Off‑Road Education 22:02 – How Our Off‑Road Events Were Born: From Idea to Execution 25:14 – Adventure Spirit, Off‑Road Parks, and Public Lands Ethics 27:58 – Educating Off‑Roaders and Preserving Trail Access 29:27 – Advocacy for Public Lands and Shared Responsibility 31:05 – Inclusivity and Respect for All Recreational Activities 31:42 – Upcoming September Events: Cars at the Station and Detroit Four Fest 33:45 – One‑Zero‑One Off‑Road Classes and Registration Details 37:11 – Engaging New Off‑Roaders: Locker Demonstration and Learning Moment 39:38 – FOURFEST at Holly Oaks: Suburban Off‑Road Park and International Attendance 41:02 – Jim Morrison, Jeep Leadership and Bob's Health Update 43:46 – Supporting Tread Lightly: Trail Clean‑Ups and Community Service 44:46 – Toledo Jeep Fest Plans and Inflatable Camper Warning 45:41 – Final Thoughts, Trail Encouragement, and New Friendships 46:23 – Video Stabilization and Brief Commentary 46:51 – Legal Disclaimer and Liability Notice Links Detroit 4Fest / registration: https://4festevents.com Tread Lightly!: https://treadlightly.org Jeep Talk Show: https://jeeptalkshow.com Support the show, hit the trails responsibly, and we'll see you out there (or at Holly Oaks in September)!

Alright guys, today's episode is a good one. I'm sitting down with Kevin Gower — a Colorado public land guy who's been in the elk woods since he was 12 years old and has packed out more elk than the years he's been hunting. That's 22 elk in 23 seasons. Not luck. Not private land. Public dirt, over the counter, doing it the hard way. We get into it — why most guys aren't consistent on public land, the "cover ground" era of learning to elk hunt, and why the YouTube backpack-hunting romance can actually work against you when you're trying to learn a mountain. We talk mindset — the "today's the day" mantra, why you can't write the story before the hunt is over, and why the guys who stack hard experiences early end up with the confidence to go get it done later. Kevin also walks through his biggest bull — a solo four-mile pack out in thirteen inches of fresh snow — and why moments like that are what separate hunters who quit from hunters who figure it out. We dig into silent bulls and why they're some of the most killable elk in the woods, calling strategy, reading pressure on the edge of private land, when to leave elk to go find better elk, and why learning to hunt the storm front instead of fighting the wind might be one of the most underrated skills in elk hunting. This one's packed with real public land wisdom from a guy who's put in two decades on the same mountain. Grab a notebook, this is a good one.

It's easy to mentally give up on a season five days in when things aren't going your way. Both Kevin and the host agree — stay in the present, trust your prep, and don't decide the outcome before you've actually run out of time. Silent bulls are still killable bulls. Pressured public land elk often won't respond to calls, but that doesn't mean they're unhuntable. Learning to locate, approach, and call elk in silently — without over-relying on a bugle response — opens up way more opportunities than waiting for a screaming match. Sometimes the right move is to leave elk to go find better elk. Whether it's a herd locked up on private land or elk buried in noisy, impossible-to-approach downfall, burning days trying to force a bad setup can cost you more than it gains. Recognizing when a situation is unwinnable — and moving on to find more huntable elk — is a skill in itself.

It's not your imagination. Booking popular experiences in our national parks can feel impossible if you're a mere mortal. Going for a permit to backpack The Enchantments or a campsite on Diablo Lake is kind of like buying a lottery ticket these days. The reason our parks are starting to feel like the Hunger Games arena comes down to bots, artificial intelligence, and the government's top cyber security contractor. On today's episode, is there anything we humans can do to take back our public lands from the bots? GUEST: Heather Hansman, freelance writer and editor.

How to Draw Public Land Western Tags for Elk Hunting without Wasting Years | 100% WILD Podcast In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik sit down with special in-studio guest Jake Arvold from 1st Phorm Outdoors (host of The Experience More Podcast) to break down Western big game prep and backcountry land management. Jake shares his unique background growing up on a northern Wisconsin elk ranch before detailing how he built the 1st Phorm Outdoors brand to connect fitness, nutrition, and hunting. He delivers a masterclass on e-scouting DIY public land elk hunts across states like Colorado and Idaho, demonstrating how to use digital mapping apps to pinpoint steep topography, hog's backs, hidden benches, and water runoffs where mature bulls evade human pressure. The crew dives deep into Western thermals, explaining why mountain wind consistently pulls toward cool water sources and how hunters can move silently through tight contour lines without getting busted. Jake's discusses his harrowing solo DIY elk hunt in the Colorado wilderness. After his wife Tina and 10-month-old daughter Aurora dropped him off at a steep trailhead, Jake silently stalked a massive herd bull, pinwheeling it four times between 28 and 60 yards. He details the terrifying aftermath of an 187-pound pack-out in total darkness, where slipping off a deadfall log threw him eight feet down a slope, leaving him injured until fellow hunters stepped in to help. Rounding out the show, the hosts explore the 1st Phorm App's custom backcountry fitness protocols (Mountain Proof 2.0 and Camp Protocol), VO2 max metrics for longevity, Missouri's upcoming bear tag season, and a rapid-fire "This or That" round on early-season whitetail tactics.   00:00:00 – Summer Recap: Welcoming Jake from 1st Phorm Outdoors 00:01:06 – Road Warrior Life: Total Archery Challenge (TAC) & Outdoor Events 00:03:42 – Building 1st Phorm Outdoors: Supplement Tools for Backcountry Athletes 00:07:16 – Growing Up on a Wisconsin Elk Ranch: Raising World-Class Bulls 00:09:40 – Western Big Game Mindset: Over-The-Counter (OTC) vs. State Draw Systems 00:17:03 – E-Scouting Blueprint: Locating Hog's Backs, Pockets & Steep Topo Benches 00:22:12 – Thermals & Wind Science: Why Mountain Air Always Pulls to Cool Water 00:24:41 – Elk vs. Whitetail Tactics: Sound, Vision, and Moving Through Heavy Cover 00:28:50 – The Solo Colorado Elk Hunt: Family Trailhead Drop-Offs with a 10-Month-Old 00:33:17 – Concrete Slab Fire Towers & Surviving Mountain Rainstorms 00:38:14 – Bypassing Hunter Pressure: Climbing 500ft Vertical Off Roadside Guts 00:41:30 – Silently Stalking the Herd Bull: 4 Rapid-Fire Arrows at 28–60 Yards 00:46:08 – The 187lb Pack-Out Disaster: Falling 8 Feet Off a Deadfall Log in the Dark 00:51:30 – Backcountry Brotherhood: Calling Late-Night Pack-Out Support 00:57:32 – 1st Phorm App Workouts: Mountain Proof 2.0 & Camp Protocol Programs 01:04:33 – Post-Workout Mountain Nutrition: Fueling Calorie Deficits with Formula 1 01:08:45 – Longevity & VO2 Max: Muscle Mass, Health Shifts, and Passing the Heritage 01:23:27 – This or That: Early Season Whitetail Strategy Edition 01:27:46 – Bass Pro Sunset Hills Fall Classic Preview with Matt & Terry Drury 01:31:23 – Drawing Missouri Bear Tags & The Real Name for a Group of Bears   Join the Rack Pack Facebook Group :/ n73gskjt7bfb2ngc   Get ahead of your Game with DeerCast available on iOS and Android devices App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deerc...

Beau Martonik sits down with Joel Burham of Whitetail Fit, who moved to Iowa, got his residency, turned down an invite to a phenomenal private farm, and hunted public ground and only public ground for the whole season to see what it would teach him. They get into the full self-filming rig Joel runs out of a saddle, the buck he figured at 160 that he had broadside at 20 yards and lost to the camera, the two public land giants he found that will never show up in a video, and what happened when he came to full draw on a three-and-a-half-year-old and let down. Joel also lays out the only test he uses to decide whether a deer is worth his tag, which has nothing to do with a score. Also covered: starting from zero with no hunting family, three miles deep on Kansas public on the last day of a 10-day hunt, hiring his brother as a cameraman and then telling him he'd outgrown the job, and why time is the one thing in hunting you can't shortcut. 00:00:00 — Intro 00:07:09 — Starting with no hunting family 00:12:04 — First deer off a lawn chair 00:15:22 — Where "Whitetail Fit" came from 00:19:57 — Three miles deep on Kansas public 00:22:16 — How fitness changes your access 00:38:13 — What this job really looks like 00:47:49 — The 160 at 20 yards he passed 00:58:28 — Hiring his brother, then letting go 01:11:16 — Self-filming rig for a saddle 01:16:38 — Bodies, lenses, and low light 01:29:56 — Arm height, ISO, shutter speed 01:39:10 — Iowa public land only 01:46:57 — The bucks that never made the film 01:49:56 — Pressure and older deer 01:54:43 — The 190 and a wind switch 02:01:29 — Full draw, then let down 02:10:00 — What makes you grab your bow 02:19:34 — Where to find Whitetail Fit ⁠Joel's IG: https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_fit/ Whitetail Fit YT: https://www.youtube.com/@WhitetailFit Instagram:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@eastmeetswesthunt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@beau.martonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠East Meets West Outdoors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Shop Hunting Gear and Apparel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: Beau Martonik - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJon93sYfu9HUMKpCMps3w⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Discounts and Affiliate Links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/partners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Amazon Influencer Page ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/beau.martonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Text "freedom" to (202) 918-5348 In this episode of American Potential, special guest host Heather Andrews sits down with Utah Attorney General Derek Brown to unpack one of the biggest constitutional battles in the West—who should control America's public lands. With more than 70% of Utah's land managed by the federal government, Brown explains why states are pushing back and what it means for local communities, economic development, and land management. He breaks down the core principles of federalism and why decisions should be made closer to the people most affected. The conversation also highlights a major recent court victory that places limits on presidential power when designating national monuments—marking an important step toward restoring balance between state and federal authority. This episode dives into the real-world impact of government overreach—and why Utah's fight could shape the future of land rights across the country.
