    A Critical Moment for Public Lands and How We Can Respond: A Conversation with Congressman Gabe Vasquez

    This week, during one of the most perilous times for public lands in recent memory, the NWF Outdoors Podcast hosts Aaron Kindle and Tanner Saul sit down with Congressman Gabe Vasquez,public lands champion from New Mexico’s 2nd District  and co-founder of the bi-partisan Public Lands Caucus. We talk about the real threats facing public lands and the urgent need for bipartisan action. Congressman Vasquez shares his personal journey into Congress, his love for New Mexico’s wild places, and why he helped launch the bipartisan Public Lands Caucus. He breaks down how and why he’s fighting to stop land sell-offs and what we can do to maintain access and improve management on public lands. Even if we win current battles, we must remain diligent and defend public lands as the national treasure they are.  If you hike, hunt, fish, or just love being on public lands—this one’s for you.  Learn more about your ad choices.

    An interview with Louisiana CPRA Chairman, Bren Haase.

    The great Mark Twain once wrote, “Buy land, they aren’t making it anymore,” but Mr. Twain was wrong! The Mississippi River and the state of Louisiana are working together to build tens of thousands of acres on the Louisiana coast. Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority’s Chairman is Bren Haase. Chairman Haase is a passionate hunter and angler from Sportsman’s Paradise, and he joined us to talk about Louisiana’s coastal land loss crisis and how the state is battling that crisis for both people and wildlife.

    Living Life and Catching Fish with Hard Work and Common Sense

    Lots of guests elicit laughter and also a few tugs at the heartstrings. Laughter is pretty easy, but it’s rare a guest has both Aaron and Bill holding back tears in between the laughs, but Joey Monteleone did just that. From working hard in the inner city as a child of immigrants to traveling North America lecturing, writing and filming television shows about fishing, Monteleone has managed to live the life so many of us dream while hopefully watching a bobber during our youth. Over 50,000 (more than 1500 over five pounds) bass later, Joey’s focus on simplifying tackle and techniques is awesome information for both beginner and veteran fishermen.  Suggested Links: https://hub.jacksonkayak.com/team-jk/kayak-fishing-factory-team/joey-monteleone/ https://www.amazon.com/ILL-BE-TENNESSEAN-YA-History/dp/1689845139 https://www.amazon.com/60-Seasons-fishing-Joey-Monteleone/dp/1952474922 https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Storms-CentAnni-Joey-Monteleone/dp/1957344202/ref=sr_1_1?crid=15Q7IQIDO5MUD&keywords=the+secret+of+storms+joey+monteleone&qid=1692194518&s=digital-text&sprefix=the+secret+of+storms+joey+monteleone%2Cdigital-text%2C106&sr=1-1-catcorr Learn more about your ad choices.
