Okayest Hunter

Behind Wildlife Management with the Wisconsin DNR

April 8, 2026·1h 30m
Episode Description from the Publisher

This week we sat down with Sam Jonas and Randy Johnson from the Wisconsin DNR to talk about the stuff most hunters don’t think about until it affects them. We get into what conservation actually means, why hunter numbers matter more than most people realize, and how wildlife management decisions really get made. From wolves and predator management to the funding model that keeps conservation running, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes. We also talk about the future of hunting, why curiosity beats judgment, and how everyday hunters can meaningfully contribute to conservation in addition to buying a license. Also, Keagan Keddell stops by for a cameo and a few stories along the way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
