Catalina Cull & Colorado Chaos: The Real Cost of Ballot-Box Wildlife Policy | Big Hunt Guys, Ep. 213

February 5
2 hours

Episode Description

Wildlife policy battles are heating up across the country. In this episode, the Big Hunt Guys sit down with Charles Whitwam of Howl For Wildlife to discuss their recent documentary "Killing Catalina" and the Catalina Island Conservancy's plan to eradicate all mule deer on the island in the name of habitat restoration, reduce wildfire risk, and to benefit other wildlife species due to an "overpopulation" of deer. Later the guys talk with Dane Gates of CRWM about Colorado legislation that threatens trapping, fur markets, and rodent control tools. Dan also offers a current update on the reintroduction of wolves in Colorado. We explore how these efforts gained traction, why they matter beyond state lines, and how hunters can engage before ballot initiatives permanently reshape conservation.
