Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by Suzanne Anglewicz, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s first-ever employee hired to focus exclusively on state-level conservation policy. Both native Michiganders, St.Pierre and Anglewicz share some fun banter over being long-suffering Detroit Lions fans while discussing the nuances of playing offense and defense on conservation legislation at state capitols.

Episode Highlights:

• The conversation kicks off with Anglewicz’s rundown of her career that includes a bachelor’s degree in political theory and constitutional democracy, a law degree, and more than a decade as the manager of field operations for the grassroots division of the National Rifle Association.

• Anglewicz provides an update on Kansas House Bill 2063, introduced by Kansans for Conservation last week. If passed, the legislation would provide dedicated funding for wildlife habitat and natural resources in Kansas. Today, Kansas is one of only 15 states without a dedicated conservation fund.

• The discussion also includes fun banter about shooting “cosmic clays,” the need for more hunters to run for elected offices, and antiquated state laws around charitable gambling.
