In this episode of Through the Gates, Dan Gates is joined by two veterans of wildlife policy in Colorado—former CPW Commission Chair John Howard and longtime wildlife professional Dean Riggs—for a deep dive into the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation.
They share decades of field and policy experience to help listeners understand what’s at stake: how ballot initiatives, shifting politics, and public misinformation are threatening science-based wildlife management. If you care about conservation, hunting, public lands, or just want to understand the system behind wildlife decisions in the West—this conversation is for you.
📢 Learn why Colorado’s wildlife is more than just ballot box fodder—it's a legacy of science, sacrifice, and stewardship.
