Ep. 266 "The Constant Fight" with Sam Thrash
Colorado's Commercial Fur Ban, Oregon's IP28, Idaho's SB1300, the Congressional Review Act... everywhere you look factual, science-based wildlife and resource management is under attack. In this episode, Sam sits down to talk about what is currently riding in the hot seat of conservation in 2026, and what outdoors men and women need to be focusing on. Sam talks about the upcoming CPW commission meeting during which a citizen petition for a fur ban will be presented and the impacts this could have on hunting and trapping. He discusses the Oregon "Peace Act' which would effectively make hunting, fishing and even raising livestock in Oregon illegal. SB1300 in Idaho could put control of the Fish and Game department in the wrong hands. And of course Congress continuing to overstep using the CRA puts land and wildlife at risk. This is not a time to relax, this is a time to engage. The fight for conservation is a constant fight, and no one else is coming to our rescue.
