“The Department of the Interior under the Biden administration that was trying to take away lead bullets and hooks, banning access to millions of acres of federal public lands, trying to take conservation access and easements away from the people who pay for these programs.  I think we’re going to have a true champion, and Doug Burgum in the Department of the Interior–somebody that we look forward to work with to bring some common sense back to the programs and policies that largely hunters and anglers and Second Amendment advocates pay for through our dollars. Not only at the federal level, but at the state level, as well.” – Luke Hilgemann, executive director of International Order of T. Roosevelt

In Episode 480 of District of Conservation, Gabriella welcomes back International Order of T. Roosevelt executive director Luke Hilgemann to the program. Luke discusses his organization’s work to help pass Florida’s right to hunt and fish amendment, future target states in 2025, previews the incoming Burgum Interior Department, why the future of conservation is bright under Trump-Vance, and other things IOTR is working on.
