“Think about who we are as Americans. It’s [hunting] a distinct unique characteristic of America where when you when you look at hunting, the sport of hunting. In Europe, it’s become a sport only for the wealthy and the elite, generally.

And part of that is because of access — to the lack of access to public lands. But in the United States, we are still a country….

In hunting, we’re still a state where grandma, grandpa, mom and dad, aunt or uncle will load up the kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, cousins, whatever, and you can go down to Walmart and literally buy a deer tag or an elk tag — you can buy a wolf tag over the counter–  in Montana.

And you jump back in your pickup and you can be on public lands.” — U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R-MT)

In Episode 366 of District of Conservation, Gabriella welcomes back Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) to the program to chat about the latest conservation happenings in and outside of Congress. Tune in to learn more.
