Ep. 46 - Through the Gates - Defending the North American Model

In this episode of Through the Gates, Dan Gates is joined by two veterans of wildlife policy in Colorado—former CPW Commission Chair John Howard and longtime wildlife professional Dean Riggs—for a deep dive into the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation.

They share decades of field and policy experience to help listeners understand what’s at stake: how ballot initiatives, shifting politics, and public misinformation are threatening science-based wildlife management. If you care about conservation, hunting, public lands, or just want to understand the system behind wildlife decisions in the West—this conversation is for you.

📢 Learn why Colorado’s wildlife is more than just ballot box fodder—it's a legacy of science, sacrifice, and stewardship.
