MT Outdoor Podcast: It’s Up to Us Is The Future of Hunting Access

This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your Host Downrigger Dale had a great discussion with Greg Lemon the Head of Communication and Education for the FWP. The main topic they covered was hunting land access which is also the topic of most of the emails that Rigger gets. Land access is vital to the success of hunters. Most all the research on this topic has centered around two main areas, how do we get more land access and how do we keep the access we currently have. The number one reason we don’t get access or lose access boils down to one thing, hunter and landowner relations. The sad fact is it only takes one bad hunter to lose access for all the good hunters.
