Welcome to the Huntback Country Podcast. This is episode number 491 and our guest is John Stallone.

If you are unfamiliar with John, I won't give you too much context because we do get into an

introduction as we speak with John's even had some suggestions to get him on as a guest, but I didn't know much about him.

And I almost purposely didn't do too much digging beforehand,

because I wanted to have a conversation with John after learning a little bit about him and just see where it went. I knew that John was passionate about hunting, in particular conservation and some of the current hot topics and issues that hunters are facing with legislation and restrictions of hunting rights in some states such as Colorado and others and I was really

happy with all this conversation came out I enjoyed it I think it's going to be

beneficial for you as the listener

to take in this conversation,

to think about the role that you can play

and understand why all of these issues really do affect each of us as hunters,

even if they're not happening in our states

or even if you're a bit cynical

about the difference in the role that you can play.

So I hope that you, like me, are inspired and encouraged and challenged by this conversation.

Without further do, let's get right into it.

Well, John, welcome to the podcast man. I feel like this is probably long overdue.
