Your Mountain

You hear it all the time - hunters pay for wildlife conservation. But, what does that really mean? In this short but educational episode, the guys breakdown the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act - better known as the Pittman-Robertson Act. They cover: (1) The events that led to Congress adopting the Act, (2) How the Act works, (3) Why hunters and non-hunters should care, and (4) current legislation that would amend the Act, including each one's likelihood of passing this Congress.  You don't want to miss this episode!

David Willms, Mike McGrady, and Nephi Cole visit with Jana Waller, wildlife artist, and host of Skull Bound TV on The Sportsman Channel.

They also discuss the importance of educating non-hunters about hunters as wildlife conservationists, the value of hunting in Africa, the changing demographics of the American hunter, and the need to recruit women and veterans to hunting. Jana also shares what we can expect on the upcoming season of Skull Bound.
