## Resource

Adam Gall started on a wildland fire crew in the Idaho wilderness at 20, moved to wolf biology work with the Nez Perce tribe, got a teaching certificate, quit teaching, became a fishing guide, guided elk hunts, and eventually started two outfitting businesses with his wife Anna — Dark Timber Outfitters and Timber to Table Guide Service. He also sends every booked hunter a blunt letter about physical preparation before their hunt. If they're not willing to take it seriously, he'll send their money back. This conversation covers what hunters actually get wrong, why he still believes wolves deserve to be here even though they could put him out of business, and why wildlife management is never as simple as the loudest voices on either side want it to be.
