In this GOHUNT Bonus Episode of The Western Rookie Podcast, Brian sits down with public lands advocate and conservationist Sam Soholt for a deep-dive conversation on the alarming federal legislation proposing the sale of nearly 500,000 acres of public land in Nevada and Utah. Sam shares the latest details on the bill’s progress, the potential impacts to access and conservation, and—most importantly—how every listener can help stop it. From duck stamps to congressional calls, this episode is a must-listen call to action for anyone who cares about America’s wild places.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• The bill proposes selling 500,000 acres, including land near Zion National Park and Las Vegas
• The vote in the U.S. House could happen as early as May 23, 2025
• Funds from the sale would go to the general fund, not back into conservation
• How to take action: call 202-224-3121 to reach your representative
• Easy ways to get involved via TRCP, BHA, Howl.org, or social media
