Then they dive into how landowners can implement conservation projects in conjunction with livestock, the pros and cons of absentee landowners, non-deer impacts of CWD on a landscape, holes that exist in the North American model of Conservation, private landowners role in conservation, how valuable access to someone's land is, and the changing landscape of hunting and conservation.
