Summary
In this episode of Leupold's Hunt Talk Radio, Randy and Ian Wargo (Montana FWP Fish and Wildlife Commissioner) talk about the challenges of wildlife management, particularly declining elk populations in northwest Montana. A major topic is how habitat quality, largely influenced by federal land policies, is one of the most critical factors in population dynamics. The conversation highlights how complex and interconnected conservation issues are, including the importance of understanding decision-making roles. They also talk about the ability of hunters to engage more effectively in official processes, and how this can result in meaningful differences in management policy. Learn more about your ad choices.
