Lifelong outdoorsman and retired Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Trooper Stanley Steele joins Robbie to discuss the importance of hunting and conservation in the outdoor community and the need for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to be more engaged in advocating for their values and passions. Stanley and Robbie discuss the upcoming commission meeting in Oregon, where the adoption of the 2025 big game seasons (including the spring bear season) are on the table. Stanley and Robbie dive deep into the importance of science-based wildlife management and encourages people to support the professional opinions of biologists and conservationists and the need for effective messaging to counter the negative narratives surrounding hunting and conservation.
