In this episode of Through the Gates, we revisit the 7 Tenets of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation—the foundation of science-based wildlife management in the U.S. and Canada. Host Dan Gates breaks down each principle and how they’re being threatened by ballot box biology, misinformation, and political agendas.

Featuring a powerful speech from conservation icon Shane Mahoney, this episode is a must-watch for anyone who cares about public land access, ethical hunting, and the future of wildlife management in North America.

🎯 Learn how to use these 7 tenets as tools to educate others, influence policy, and defend the model that has sustained wildlife populations for over a century.
