    A Chat and Coffee with Dave Stallings, Greg Price and Wolves of the Rockies

    Join three friends in a random discussion about Montana's  native carnivores, non hunting community and wildlife management. Dave Stallings and Greg Price are both fair-chase, ethical hunters who eat what they kill. Dave focuses on wildlife reform through his Substack, “From The Wild Side,” and works to include non-hunters in wildlife decisions. Greg only hunts deer and elk and serves on Montana FWP’s Region 2 Citizen Advisory Council. Neither hunts native carnivores. Both strongly defend wolves, grizzly bears, and other large carnivores, and regularly testify before Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks and the Montana Legislature.  From the Wild Side: https://substack.com/@davidstalling?utm_source=global-search "all things wolf and wild" is a Wolves of the Rockies production.

    Was Yellowstones Deadliest Wolf Hunt an inside job? A conversation with Ryan Devereaux

    “The level of mortality is historic and catastrophic. And I’m worried about next winter, because the thing is, compromise and reasonability seems to be gone.” This is a snippet of the article -- Ryan and I sit down and discuss the 8 month long investigation that led him to serious issues within the Montana governance and the killing of America's wolves just outside the borders of Yellowstone National Park -- by rangers that work for them.  ARTICLE: https://theintercept.com/2022/07/20/wolves-yellowstone-ranger-montana-greg-gianforte/

    Kevin Bixby - Wildlife for All - A campaign to reform state wildlife management to be more democratic and ecologically-driven

    Kevin founded the Southwest Environmental Center in New Mexico in the early 90’s and has been fighting for wildlife and wildlands for decades. Kevin realized that as long as people who viewed animals as soulless resources were making all the decisions on how wildlife should be managed – we as wildlife advocates would be fighting an endless battle. So he and his team at Southwest Environmental Center launched— Wildlife for All  – a national campaign to reform state wildlife management to be more ecologically driven, democratic and compassionate.

    Nick Gevock - A conservationist before anything else

    Nick worked as an anthropologist, journalist and Conservation Director for Montana Wildlife Federation. Nick is an avid outdoorsman that views himself as a true conservationist that believes in balanced ecosystems. Nick and I had a great conversation about ethical hunting, wolves, grizzlies and other predators and the need for them on the landscape. We also spoke about the attack on our public lands or better yet, as Nick pointed out, our public resources. This was an insightful and meaningful conversation.

    Dave Stalling - A True Man of the Wilderness

    As a former Force Recon Marine, Dave he is without a doubt a badass – but this badass has a deeper understanding of life and what it means to be a part of the natural world. Dave understood at a young age that he was different from most hunters, he understood then and even more so now the need for grizzly bears and wolves - the need for complete and balanced ecosystems. It wasn’t about the kill but about walking with nature. A self-described "Leopoldian" hunter a term he proudly took from friend and father figure Jim Posewitz the author of Beyond Fair Chase The Ethic and Tradition of Hunting. Dave was a conservation writer for Rocky Mountain Elk Foundations – Bugle Magazine for 10 years, as the organization changed from a conservationist organization to a more NRA/Safari Club hunting organization – he stayed true to who he is and left. Dave’s love and respect for Grizzly Bears is deep, personal and worthy of great respect and admiration.

    Where did ethical hunting go?

    With the management of wildlife being dictated by special interest groups in the legislation and states wildlife agencies, I have to question: what has happened to ethical hunting and ethical management of our public lands? When did we go from the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and Management ideals to stomping wolf puppies to death at den sights?

    Bradley Orsted -Those moments and how wildlife and wilderness helped to find a way through tragedy and grief.

    This is one of the most honest, vulnerable and important conversations I have ever had. Brad's story of tragedy, self medication, depression and the amazing journey through it, is as compelling as it is adventurous. It is those moments that can help bring us through some of our darkest times.
