Hello everyone: I am not a good Millennial when it comes to social media. I love I can connect with everyone and learn, however I am not adept to all these tools. I thought my Spreaker account has been posting episodes automatically and it has not. I think I corrected it. We have 84 episodes currently if anyone wants to check us out on most podcast platforms. If it doesn't automatically post I will manually post these. Also, I always post show uploads on Instagram as well.

Sorry for the miscommunication, but thank you for continuing to listen. Hope your hunting seasons are going well!

This is happening in Oregon. You may think, "doesn't matter there problem". What is this anyway? Petetion 13 will in a nutshell remove all animal husbandry, hunting, fishing, trapping, and even pest control (even effects vetenarians) in Oregon.

Again it doesn't effect you if you're not in Oregon, but it may appear in your state. Did you know in New Mexico all of public land (which is most of the state) it is illegal to trap now? One of best states in the west to trap: gone.

Why is this happening? Because all of us are divided. We need to stand together to fight. Farmers, hunters, trappers, fishermen all of us. Thank God for the Sportsman Alliance, the NTA, and other organizations, but is it enough? We may not be able to stop this in Oregon, but this is a warning call and too many of us, myself included, have buried our head in the sand. We keep shvoing the responsibility onto someone else.

I hold myself responsible. Now, let's get to work in our states our communities. So when we , yes it is our fault these radical Marxist types sneak into legislation, let these ideologues bring petitions or legislation were ready for them.

Check our Blood Origins on Instagram and YouTube where Robbie is interviewing hunters to get the full story of, "Why do you hunt?"

The UK is working "rewilding" their island. Reintroducing Eurasian beaver, European bison, wolves, lynx, ect. I've spoken with outdoorsmen in the UK over a decade ago, they shared that the UK government didn't care about wildlife if it cost money then it shouldn't exist. I'm glad to see they've had a paradigm shift.

In the past, the UK was full of wilderness. It was home to brown bears, lynx and wolves, all of which are now extinct in the country. ↠Subscribe: https://ww...
