Show Notes

The majority of funding for state wildlife programs comes from hunting licenses and taxes associated with hunting, fishing and guns. But a generational decline in hunters and a deadly disease are threatening the foundation of that wildlife management system. In North Carolina, a coalition of hunters and conservationists are trying to head off this looming crisis in the great outdoors.

Featuring:

  • Guy Gardner, Co-manager at the Harnett Area Deer Donation Site
  • Judy Gardner, Co-manager at the Harnett Area Deer Donation Site
  • Gabor Szentivanyi, hunter and mentor in training
  • Deet James, Hunter Engagement Coordinator at North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
  • Kip Adams, Chief Conservation Officer for the National Deer Association
