Cal is on assignment this week hunting turkeys somewhere in the wilds of West Virginia, but not to worry. We have a special interview episode. Last week, Cal sat down with Steve Williams, the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from 2002 to 2005. They discuss how the recent actions and proposals from the Trump administration will impact future conservation work and what hunters and anglers can do about it.
