Politics and Wildlife: Finding Common Ground


Listen Later

Montana State Representative Marilyn Marler and Montana Outfitter's and Guide's Association Executive Director Mac Minard discuss how differing political views find common ground on wildlife issues while attending the National Association of Sportsmen Caucuses Convention in Bozeman, Montana.  There is no shortage of tribalism in our world today and wildlife issues are not an exception.  Often the choice is for combative stances instead of cooperative and collaborative approaches.  Listening to this conversation today you’ll hear that regardless of your political affiliation, our passion for wild things and outdoor pursuits can unite us all.
