In this urgent episode of Through the Gates, Dan Gates sits down with special guest Swartout to break down why Colorado is entering its “Dunkirk moment” in the battle to defend the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. Just as Winston Churchill rallied a nation to protect its future, hunters, ranchers, biologists, and Colorado citizens must now stand together against political pressure, misinformation, and agenda-driven attacks on hunting and science-based management.

This conversation lays out what’s at stake:
• The growing disconnect between urban political forces and rural working landscapes
• Threats to predator management, wildlife funding, and the hunting tradition
• Why ballot-box biology has become the greatest danger to wildlife conservation
• What every Coloradan can do right now to defend science, conservation, and our hunting heritage

If you care about wildlife, responsible management, and protecting access for future generations, this is an episode you cannot miss. This is our Dunkirk. This is the moment we choose whether to fight — or lose what has protected wildlife for over a century.
