Protecting Pronghorn w/ the North American Pronghorn Foundation | Big Hunt Guys, Ep. 183
In this episode, Trail sits down with the Brock Wahl and David Gough of the North American Pronghorn Foundation to talk about the real challenges facing one of the West’s most iconic game animals. From feral horses to sagebrush steppe and grassland habitat loss and fragmented migration corridors to increasing pressure to sell public lands, the pronghorn’s future isn’t as secure as most of us might think. We dig into the science, the politics, and the boots-on-the-ground work being done to keep herds healthy and huntable. We also tackle the hot topic of predator management, how hunters can help beyond just buying a tag, and what it takes to protect the wide-open spaces pronghorn need to survive.

Backlash & Rewrites: The Latest on the Public Land-Land Grab | Big Hunt Guys, Ep. 182
In this episode, Brady, Trail, and Nate Bare dive deep into one of the most important conversations in western hunting right now—public land access and the threat of public land sales. They break down the current status of Mike Lee’s land grab legislation. The initial version just got booted from the Senate’s budget package, but Senator Lee is still trying. Brady, Trail, and Nate Bare unpack how public pressure caused Lee to pivot slightly, but the reworded version could still impact BLM lands across the West. The guys cover what that really means for public land hunters, how you can stay in the know, and why it’s important to push back.Urge lawmakers to oppose public land sales: https://www.trcp.org/action-alert/urge-lawmakers-to-oppose-public-land-sales/
