This week Joey and Cal talk about what was rhetorical potential sale of public lands. Since recording, that bill has been pulled, for now. It’s important that as hunters and conservationists, we come together to fight for our rights to hunt and harvest animals in a contentious way. If we don’t stand together there aren’t enough of us to protect what we love so much. Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!
