A folks raiding Uberg here with another episode of Louis Pold's Hunt Talk radio.

I am doing this podcast from some what snowy but some what sunny boas been Montana today.

Got my crew here and after we do these introductions the crew and I are going to go through that

and that thing is going to be unfiltered but it's going to be a little bit pointed conversation

because we're going to have our discussion but in the interim or in between we have a guest who took me up on an open invitation I made.

Those of you who listen to one of our podcasts it might have been in July, August, something like that.

I made an open invitation for any national candidates running for federal office to come on the podcast and talk about public lands, talk about access, talk about conservation, funding, all these things.

And the idea of it is I want people to understand maybe a little inside about how things work back there, about how important it is to be involved in policy.

And also the fact that no matter who the candidate is they work for you and you can hold them accountable they might disregard you.

And it's more important to make sure that the candidate understands what is your priority, how important these issues are to you.

And get rid of the R get rid of the D get rid of the whatever I'm so tired of that you guys have heard me go on and on about that but I come from the party of hunting fishing and public access that's the only way I approach it.

I've had way too many instances in my younger days where I thought one side or the other was going to save my my issue.

And I've come to realize that it really comes down to each individual person.

There are people on each side that are equally supportive of our causes and there are people on each side that are what would I say sometimes detrimental to our cause.

I want to give you an idea of how I try to use my platforms to help bring information to our viewers between this podcast our YouTube channel our Amazon channel.

We have a really big forum called hunt talk calm if you go out there the URL is www.hunttalk.com.

We use that forum to have a lot of serious discussions about this stuff and we try to as hard as it is in today's world we try to talk about public land issues and strip the partisan discussion of it can't say that I always work sometimes we got to moderate it to get it there but anyhow that's how this podcast is going to be we're going to have a national Senate you a Senate candidate in the middle of the podcast they're going to call in on the public land.

Obviously here it is October whatever it is I don't know 17 and they're on the road campaigning so the fact that they could give me a half hour their time is peculiar or I guess beneficial.

And then we're going to sandwich that discussion with a bunch of almost Q&A among me and our production crew because we have some pretty serious discussions about this stuff when around the field when we're traveling down the road and since I'm the old guy who's been in it for 30 years seems like the questions I was going to ask to me so.

But before we do that we definitely want to talk about the companies that make this podcast possible we call it loop holds on talk radio because they are the company that supports everything we do.

And if you are out on our YouTube channel you'll see a Wyoming pronghorn hunt that we just loaded up there where I went pronghorn hunting for three days and in that is your first glimpse of a new spotting scope that's coming out from loop hold I'm not going to.

I'm not allowed to give too many details I think at the national association of supporting good wholesalers next week I think that's the official announcement but I've had one for a little while here love it it's a new santium I think when people get a chance to use it they'll be like woo I like this anyhow loop hold supports conservation supports public land supports access in so many ways and they don't really.
