And so if something's happening where grouse populations are declining, we have to look to ourselves,

we have to look to our conservation paradigms, we have to look to our systems, I think we need to do some soul searching and then look toward solutions that keep options on the table.

If it's a future that we want to be in and that we want to live quality life for our kids,

grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren.

The choices are now.

That's right.

Yep.

We have choices to make and that window is short and you know there's a lot at stake

In terms of being able to create the diversity that we need we need to see a path that includes sustainable forestry and timber

harvesting as viable tools just as much as the protections of the

wilderness areas you know I'm you, so all of that stuff is important.

We need to be nuanced about it.

Hey everybody, this is Hal Harry,

backcountry hunters and anglers podcast and Blasts.

I wanted to start out, got a little promo to kind of read and put together here because

we are coming up on the 10th annual BHA North American rendezvous and it's going to be in

Missoula, Montana.

We are going to be there June 3rd through June 5th, and it is going to be a kind of the opening up of the world

after the pandemic shut down it's all going to be outside it's it as I'm reading this off, they're getting together in the great outdoors,

and that is what's gonna be happening.

You can camp on site, you got all the great components of the rendezvous. It's all outside. You don't ever have to go inside.

You got campfire stories, wild game cook-off as always. The new edition is like a bison breakdown. I'm not sure what that is. I'm hoping they're going to cut a bison up and then we get to eat it.
