Before we begin, I want to make it absolutely clear that the opinions I am about to express in this interview are my own, and do not represent the Montana Wildlife Federation or any other organization.

My views are based on my own understanding of the science, research, and management of wildlife in Montana and other places around the world where I have worked as a guide.

conversation. I am an advocate for science-based wildlife management. I base my opinions and actions

as representative of Montana being the last best place

and a source of significant revenue for the state of Montana

from wildlife tourism.

Yeah.

That you could break it also and not know what you've broken, and then that you could fix it. Amazing.
