You have reverence for the resources that are supporting you because if you don't you

you'll overuse them and then you're gone.

And that happened early Early man's history you had to be very

respectful of the natural world and we have totally lost that and that's that's not good.

Redundancy in ecosystems provide stability,

and that's what we want.

It's like the number of caterpillars in my yard.

I've got chickadees that want to feed their babies, they need 6,000 caterpillars.

Well if they're only had one or two species of caterpillars in my yard and it was a bad year for

them, the chickadees wouldn't have nearly enough to eat. But if I've got 1,259 species, it's not going to be a bad year for all

of them at the same time. So there will always be enough so the chickadee can reproduce every year. And that's the stability that diversity creates.

Hey everybody, Hal hearing Backcountry Hunters and Anglers podcast and Blast. Hey, I'm all fired up this morning to announce that Savage Arms is going to be sponsoring

this podcast and it has a special significance to me because I'm sitting here holding the Savage Arms

Stevens Model 9, Theories M, 20-Gage singlerel shotgun that I got for my ninth birthday. I have had that since

1973. It is polished off. It's silvered up. It's scratched and I passed it on to my son when he was

hen I think that would have been in 2010 and all I've done in all those years is to change the replace the ejector.

That shotgun has shot thousands upon thousands of rounds.

So, this whole thing is very important to me.

When people have come to me who are new hunters and they're asking me about a deer or

elk rifle, I always say first, I say the Savage 110 and that so Savage has been in business 125 years and the

110 is the longest continuously manufactured bolt action rifle ever.

In the ad thing here, it has a model for every type of hunter or shooter, of course.
