The discussion of public land and the notion of transferring federal land to the state is plagued with misconceptions, political messaging, and sometimes flat out lies.  Randy and I discuss the issue of land transfers and the consequences that lay beneath the surface of how it's promoted.  Randy has decades of advocacy for the North American hunter. From capital meetings to sitting on the board of the RMEF, Randy has proven himself invaluable to the hunting community. His impact on public land, legislation, advocacy, and his endless willingness to be a voice for hunting is far-reaching. We can all learn from Randy and his leadership. I'm proud to call him a friend.  Visit Randy's website here. YOUTH HUNTER ESSAY SUBMISSIONS DUE 9/1/2020!
