We were elated when John Stallone, co-founder and vice president of Howlforwildlife.org, reached out and offered to come on the podcast. We in the west are at the front lines of many of the anti-hunters' attacks on our way of life. Howl has beena. powerful force to help protect our rights as hunters, as displayed by their efforts in the 2024 Colorado bill that would have banned all cougar and bobcat hunting.

The west coast is facing many similar attacks, and the only way to ensure our children get to fight this battle after us is to unite as hunters, fishermen, and outdoorsmen and stand as one against the opposition. Can we save PNW hunting? John thinks so, listen in to find out why.
