We've invested over $200 million in the last 50 years, so it's a heck of a program for our state, but every state and every county can tell that same story.

What's important is to let your congressman know and your senator know that we need full

funding this year.

Now we need to fix it permanently and there's some legislation but we're just

talking about let's just fix it for this year. Bad people rely on others good

people's fatigue in order to do bad things and this this

constant battle over this is meant to fatigue the American people and cause them to lower their expectations

while they pilfer their money. You want to talk about learning how to hunt,

learning how to fish, being a more proficient hunter or angular, man,

get involved in conservation work.

You will work with the biologist who is studying the creek that you love to fish and you

will learn so much more ground when you go do work on a fence removal or a fence repair.

I grew up in the Midwest, just like you in the South,

but I wanted to go fish.

I had to ask somebody, go on a farm or go to my grandmothers.

We don't do that here. We don't have to do that. It's our land and that's really something.

We'd like to thank Sitka Gear, maker of the most effective hunting and outdoor apparel in the world,

for their sponsorship of this podcast.

We wouldn't be here without them, and I really appreciate it.

Thank you.
