From Meat Eaters World News Headquarters in Bozeman, Montana, this is Cowell's Week in Review with Ryan Cal-Aye.

Here's Cal.

Hey, welcome to another edition of Cal of the Wild. We have a special

guest this week, Ed Arnett of the Wildlife Society. What we're going to try to attempt to do here

with Ed's precious time is to give everyone an

idea of what type of works being done on the landscape on our behalf and behalf of public

wildlife in this amazing country that we have. And we're going to try to kind of look through the very murky crystal ball here

of what some of these changes at the federal level and possibly some changes that you're

seeing at the state level, what those things are going to do conceivably do that will affect your hunting, fishing, and access here.

So, Ed, who are you, and what do you do?

Hey, Cal, great to see you.

I met Arnett.

I'm the chief executive officer of the Wildlife Society.

I've been a professional biologist going on 35 years now. Did some management biology work on

refuge system and forest service and some work with the private timber company on research. We met

when I joined in the policy space at the

Theater Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and I took this job about, oh, going on four years now,

back in November of 2021 leading the Wildlife Society.

Yeah, what's the role of the Wildlife Society?

You bet.

So I suspect most of your listeners have heard of Aldo Leopold.

Aldo Leopold is famous for many things, but he is the father of modern day wildlife management for all practical purposes.
