T8 Outdoors Podcast – Episode 20 | Featuring Matt Ward

In this episode of the T8 Outdoors Podcast, we sit down with Matt Ward to talk about a dire situation unfolding on Catalina Island off the coast of California—one that has sparked major controversy across the hunting and conservation communities.

At the center of the conversation is a proposed effort to eliminate the mule deer population on the island, animals that have called Catalina home for over 100 years. Supporters claim it’s necessary to protect native vegetation, but many believe the science behind the decision is flawed and doesn’t tell the full story.

• Concerns about the science being used to justify the decision
• Why organizations from SCI to the Humane Society are getting involved
• What this could mean for the future of wildlife management

This is more than just a local issue—it raises bigger questions about conservation, ethics, and how decisions are made when it comes to wildlife and habitat.
