In this special collaboration between Through the Gates and The Mountainside Podcast, Bobby Marshall sits down with Dan Gates, founder of Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management, to break down the escalating fight over wildlife conservation in Colorado.

At the center of the battle is the defense of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation — the gold standard framework that has guided science-based wildlife management for over a century.

Dan explains:
- How ballot-box biology is reshaping Colorado wildlife policy
- The political influence of Governor Jared Polis and appointed commissioners
- The impact of wolf reintroduction and anti-hunting initiatives
- How activist-driven legislation threatens science-based wildlife management
- The past victories that protected hunting and conservation funding
- The upcoming battles at the ballot, legislature, and commission levels
- Why sportsmen, ranchers, and rural communities are mobilizing

This episode is a deep dive into the intersection of conservation, politics, and the future of wildlife management in Colorado.
