  3. #253 Christine Koeppen - Western Way of Life

    11. APR.

    #253 Christine Koeppen - Western Way of Life

    Christine Koeppen - is a native Coloradan, mother, barrel racer, hunter, and a strong advocate for protecting the Western way of life she was raised in and now passes on. She has dedicated her life, education, and career to agriculture and conservation, firmly believing that the two must flourish together. Her roots are in horses. She came up in the barrel racing world, where she developed grit, timing, and a deep understanding of partnership in the arena—lessons that carried into every aspect of her life. That foundation shaped her perspective on animals, land, and work ethic. She eventually made her way to Texas on the back of a barrel horse, where she was first introduced to hounds. In them, she recognized the same spark she had seen in a young colt learning to follow a cow or turn a barrel. Just as a good horse comes alive when asked to do what it was born to do, hounds come alive when released on a fresh track. For her, running hounds is not about the kill—it is about the challenge, conservation, and the bond between dog, handler, and rugged country. It is also where she has learned some of her most meaningful and hard-earned lessons, alongside her family. Professionally, Christine serves as a veteran Account Manager for The Fence Post and Equine Brand Manager for Cowgirl Magazine. In these roles, she partners with brands, producers, and horsemen to elevate the voices of agriculture and the equine industry. Her work is grounded in supporting the people, businesses, and traditions that sustain this way of life. She and her family are building a life their boys can carry forward—one rooted in hard work, stewardship, and respect for tradition. In 2024, she joined Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management in the effort to protect science-based wildlife management in Colorado, reflecting her belief that conservation requires active participation. This life is part of her legacy, and she stands for it without hesitation. www.TheMountainSidePodcast.com Important Links: https://www.thefencepost.com https://www.cowgirlmagazine.com/ https://www.cotwoutdoors.com/ https://savethehuntcolorado.com/ Affiliates Links Sponsor Links www.SABObroadheads.com Mountain Side listeners receive $10 off & Free Shipping on all SABO Broadheads! www.ProTekt.com Mountain Side listeners receive 10% off all ProTekt products!

Throughout his Coast Guard career, Joe has been stationed in multiple locations around the globe, spending much of his service in the rugged, unforgiving terrain & seas of the northwest and Alaska, where resilience, preparedness, and durability are not optional—they’re survival. An avid outdoorsman and dedicated backcountry hunter, Joe has spent years pushing deep into remote wilderness, often hunting animals at high altitude in some of the harshest conditions imaginable. Through those experiences, he repeatedly encountered the limitations and failures of traditional hydration systems used by hunters, mountaineers, and expedition travelers. Drawing from his operational experience in the Coast Guard and countless days in the backcountry, Joe helped develop what would become the Drifter Hydration System—a rugged, durable alternative to the traditional water bladder. Built to withstand extreme environments, the system has quickly become a trusted tool for serious backcountry hunters, mountaineers, and outdoor athletes who demand reliability when they’re far from civilization. Joe Gauvain joins Bobby Marshall in studio on The Mountain Side Podcast to talk about life in the Coast Guard & what led him to join the US Coast Guard, operating in Alaska, backcountry hunting, innovation in the outdoor industry, and how hard-earned lessons in the wild helped shape a product that’s redefining hydration for those who truly like to get after it.  Find out more here  www.Knicpouches.com Mountain Side listeners Use Discounts code: MOUNTAINSIDE15 to receive  15% off all  K-Nic products! www.SABObroadheads.com Mountain Side listeners receive $10 off & Free Shipping on all SABO Broadheads!

    #248 Dan Gates - Fighting for Wildlife with Coloradans For Responsible Wildlife Management

    Dan Gates - Executive Director of Coloradans For Responsible Wildlife Management ( C. R. W. M. ) Host of Though the Gates podcast joins Bobby Marshall in studio for a powerful, co-released episode focused on the future of wildlife management in Colorado. A lifelong sportsman and passionate conservation advocate, Dan has dedicated his career to protecting Colorado’s wildlife through science-based policy, ethical hunting, and responsible stewardship. As a leader of CRWM and the Save the Hunt Colorado campaign, he works at the front lines of legislative battles, commission decisions, and public advocacy efforts that directly impact sportsmen, landowners, and outdoor communities across the state. In this episode, Bobby and Dan dive deep into: •  Colorado wildlife policy and the statutory mission of Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CRS 33-1-101) •  The growing political influence shaping conservation decisions •  Senate Bill 62 and its potential impact on rodenticide access, pesticide application, and trapping methods •  The proposed statewide fur-sale prohibition petition •  Beaver management strategy and harvest data •  Wolf policy discussions and livestock compensation •  Firearms-related policy proposals tied to wildlife governance •  The importance of public testimony and engagement at CPW Commission meetings Dan breaks down why wildlife policy should be driven by science, data, and expert guidance — not emotion or political agendas — and explains why Colorado is becoming a “test market” for sweeping wildlife legislation. He also issues a call to action for the Colorado Parks & Wildlife Commission meetings (March 4–5 in Westminster and May 6–7 in Grand Junction), encouraging citizens to attend, submit testimony, and stay informed. Beyond policy, this conversation explores conservation ethics, biology, hunting tradition, archery, outdoor culture, and what it truly means to preserve wildlife responsibly for future generations. If you care about conservation, hunting rights, wildlife biology, or the future of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation — this is a must-listen episode. www.themountainsidepodcast.com Show Links www.SaveTheHuntColorado.com www.youtube.com/@ThroughTheGatesPodcast Affiliates Links Sponsor Links www.ProTekt.com Mountain Side listeners receive 10% off all ProTekt products!
