Anti-hunting legislation and ballot initiatives are rapidly shaping wildlife policy across the western United States.
With Ashlee away on spring break, Robbie is joined by Charles Whitwam of Howl for Wildlife to break down the latest battles unfolding across four key states: California, Washington, Colorado, and Oregon.
Robbie and Charles discuss several major wildlife policy issues currently facing hunters and conservation advocates. The conversation includes an update on the ongoing debate surrounding deer management on Santa Catalina Island, where the Catalina Island Conservancy has proposed a controversial deer eradication plan.
They also examine the heated discussions that emerged during recent meetings of Colorado Parks and Wildlife, where proposals related to a fur harvesting ban sparked intense debate about science-based wildlife management.
Finally, the episode dives into Oregon Initiative Petition 28, a sweeping proposal that could dramatically reshape hunting, fishing, and animal use laws in the state.
Together, Robbie and Charles unpack the broader implications of these movements and what they could mean for wildlife conservation, hunting, and science-based wildlife management across the West.
