Topics covered include - Wild Sheep conservation, Citizen-conservationists, leading by example, how hunters planted conservation in the American ethos, fallacy of circling the wagons, non-game species as the beneficiary of big game conservation, America's "Big Tent" principle helped start conservation, will hunters continue to lead, how to increase your odds of drawing a sheep tag (put more sheep on the mountain), food as the motive for hunting, and two hours of hunting-related topics from a pair of uniquely qualified guests.

0:00.0	Hey folks, Randy Noberg here. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Looop Holds on Talk Radio.
0:08.4	I know in our last podcast I told you that Corey Jacobson would be on this podcast with me, but
0:14.5	Corey wanted to figure out how he could get out of a podcast I think. So what he did is when we
0:20.3	are in New Mexico the last evening he shot a bull elk and we didn't get that thing out of the
0:26.8	canyon into camp until about I think we got back to camp at two in the morning and then we had
0:33.3	to race to an airport to catch flights. So Corey got out of a podcast, but he did say he was going
0:40.4	to take a rain check and that he'd come to Montana and we do a day by day of what happened
0:47.5	on that hunt in New Mexico. So I'm going to hold him to that, but in the interim I'm home in
0:53.5	Montana here for a couple days and lucky for me one of our previous guests was in town speaking
1:02.0	and you've heard him twice on this podcast and it was at the suggestion of a conservation group
1:10.0	who's hosting him that conservation group called me and said, Randy, why don't you guys do a podcast
1:17.1	with us while he's here. So that's what we're going to do today. Sorry Corey, too bad for you,
1:24.8	but anyhow, I just want to quickly thank all of our sponsors of this podcast before we get into
1:32.0	the the real crux and discussion that you're going to hear today. As I said, Lou Pold is now the
1:39.4	title sponsor of this podcast and I can't thank them enough. They're the title sponsor of everything
1:44.8	we do. They are just so supportive of the self-guided, the public land, all the things that we do,
1:50.5	the message we have. Lou Pold is a brand that is born in the hunting industry, born and pretty much
2:00.5	raised I guess through the hunting world and their products reflect that. The other sponsors
2:09.0	are Ryan Coolers just back from New Mexico and we really put them to the test 10 days of putting
2:14.4	those coolers out in the New Mexico heat and still had frozen milk jugs one way left. I don't know
2:23.2	how else to say it other than go to OrionCoolers.com you're going to find them and when you start using
2:30.5	them you're going to understand why I'm a big fan of Orion Coolers. Then right now the other company,
