Hunting Leases, Are they Bad or Good for Conservation and the future of Waterfowl Hunting?

Disclaimer- Ben dropped his microphone which transformed him from a Tenor to a Baritone/Bass and he was too lazy to make himself sound normal in post-production.

In this episode, Ben, Alex, Matt, and a friend of the show Hunter from BRH [https://bigredhunters.com/], begin to unpack the question -"As they exist now, are hunting leases good or bad for the future of Duck Hunting?" ... and maybe we shouldn't have! Topics Discussed- The genesis of the argument, this history of the lease, the state of affairs, the empath hunter begging the middle-class farmer, nuance over action, action over nuance, redefining Access, Huntin' the highwater mark, Polls and Honey Holes, Conservative Socialism, Name Calling, Red Herrings, Canada Hunting Leases, Data Skewing and Leaning Polls, Libertarians, Devolving into Semantics, HunterFarmer Coalition, Conservation Organizations and the silent majority, Rich Dad Poor Duck Hunter, Money is conservation, we're all jerks, we're all in this together, A tale of two duck hunters, Hunting as an economic driver and a lot of other crap!
