This week I’m joined by Senator John Tester (D-MT) in Bozeman for an exclusive conversation on the major conservation issues in Montana and in our nation. Sen. Tester has been a sometimes polarizing figure for his pragmatic and no nonsense approach to policy, and his voice is loud in the political arena when it comes to hunting, fishing and the outdoors. We covered the Land and Water Conservation Fund, Chronic Wasting Disease, land use in his home state and extraction on public lands and elsewhere. We also hit on the difficult landscape of American politics and how Sen. Tester is fighting back. Enjoy.
