“Soil aggregate stability is critical to the soil’s ability to infiltrate and hold water. That no-till soil in the water is saturated – just how we want our rangeland and pasture soils to be following a rainfall event.” How does grazing affect soil aggregate stability?

Victory Drive Podcast Collaboration with Jacob Johnson Show Notes:   I was recently asked to collaborate with Jacob Johnson, a fellow hunting advocate and host of the Victory Drive Podcast. Here, Jacob and I cover a lot of ground. In the first portion of our collaboration, we chat about where in the country we’ve hunted and what’s on our bucket list. We get into details about a giveaway I’m doing on a mule deer hunt valued at over $1,300, and the proceeds are going to Howl for Wildlife. We also talk about hunting advocacy and how you can get involved.   Jacob and I talk about the problem with the strategy of replacing human hunters with apex predators, like coyotes. We’re seeing reductions in discounted tags and programs because of the increase in wolves and the reduction in game. I share how Howl for Wildlife is fundraising and the impact we’re having on trying to turn things around. We also discuss ways to get everyone on board, even non-hunters.   Towards the end of our conversation, we chat about the support hunting receives from gun advocacy and sport shooting and how the anti-gun mentality hurts our cause. We talk about some of the bills in play and how some taxation initiatives may set us back. We wrap up with some thoughts around our frustrations with current advocacy efforts and what it would take to make us the most powerful.  What’s Inside:   Details on a hunt giveaway benefiting Howl for Wildlife Why everyone, including non-hunters, should be invested in hunting advocacy How partnering with gun advocates and sport shooting makes us stronger   Mentioned in this episode Days In The Wild Podcast Phoenix Shooting Bags save 20% with code johnstallone Howl for Wildlife: https://lnkd.in/gAnzeRnK Victory Drive Podcast on Instagram   Short Description: I was recently asked to collaborate with Jacob Johnson, a fellow podcaster and host of the Victory Drive Podcast.
