TSV Roundup Week of August 4th, 2025

State-level conservation issues are heating up across the country as outdoor seasons approach. The Sportsmen’s Voice Host Fred Bird welcomes back CSF’s own Marie Neumiller to break down changing wolf management strategies in Idaho and Montana—including the use of ABC population modeling and legal challenges to trapping seasons due to grizzly bear protections.

The conversation then turns to national conservation updates, including:

The Senate’s confirmation of Brian Nesvik, a lifelong outdoorsman, as Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The fight to protect surf fishing access in South Carolina, with legislative sportsmen stepping in to stop a proposed ban that would have impacted anglers and conservation funding alike.

Massachusetts’ debate over providing free hunting and fishing licenses to disabled veterans—well-intentioned, but with potential risks to the state’s conservation funding.

A look at Missouri’s proposal to expand nighttime coyote hunting, offering more opportunity for predator control and sportsmen alike.

Whether you're into wolf conservation, fishing access, or predator management, this episode is packed with insights for hunters, anglers, and anyone passionate about protecting America’s outdoor heritage.
