Joe Kondelis, founder of The Western Bear Foundation sits down with Chris and Steve for an in-depth look at a foundation that is effectively working to protect the black bear resource and the ethical hunting of black bears across the United States.

This trio goes deep into the current management of bears and what hunters from every region can do to maintain a healthy black bear population and the houndsman’s opportunity to manage them within the scope of the most effective wildlife management tool, hunting.

The Western Bear Foundation has found the right recipe to effectively work in concert with game managers in the west. Joe shares his ideas about how eastern bear hunters can elevate their credibility and expand their influence with state game agencies and within the hunting community.

This episode truly is one to unite Houndsmen across the country against the forces that work tirelessly to take away our heritage and rights to hunt.
