    Bridging the Gap: Hunters and Management Policies - Jordan Hoover - Josh Arbogast
    Apr 30 2025
    The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 349 - Bridging the Gap: Hunters and Management Policies In this episode, Adam discusses the complexities of deer management in Michigan with guests Josh Arbogast and Jordan Hoover. They explore the challenges faced by hunters and the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) in managing deer populations, the importance of accurate data reporting, and the role of community engagement in shaping hunting regulations. The conversation highlights the division among hunters, the impact of social media, and the biological implications of current deer management policies. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the challenges and responsibilities faced by sportsmen in Michigan regarding conservation and wildlife management. They emphasize the importance of navigating bureaucratic processes, the legacy of conservation, and the need for active engagement in decision-making. The discussion highlights the significance of presence in meetings, the role of legal challenges, and the responsibility of sportsmen to advocate for their interests. The speakers encourage listeners to participate in upcoming Natural Resources Commission meetings and to take an active role in stewardship.Takeaways There's a significant division among hunters regarding deer management. Visual representation of data can help bridge communication gaps. Accurate reporting of deer harvest is crucial for effective management. The UP Deer Advisory Team plays a vital role in addressing deer issues. Community engagement is essential for changing perceptions about deer management. Biological health of the deer herd is impacted by current policies. The deer population dynamics in the UP are complex and require careful management. Old management policies may no longer be effective in today's context. Hunters need to adapt to changing conditions and data. The DNR relies on hunters to help manage deer populations effectively. The bureaucracy in conservation must be just and fair. Engagement in the decision-making process is crucial for sportsmen. Stewardship goes beyond financial contributions; it requires active participation. Awareness of the challenges faced by the hunting community is essential. Complacency has led to a decline in advocacy for conservation. Presence in meetings can influence decisions and represent sportsmen's interests. Education and outreach are vital for increasing awareness in the hunting community. Legal challenges can be costly and may not always benefit the cause. Building a community of engaged sportsmen is necessary for effective advocacy. Personal stories can be powerful in influencing decision-makers. https://www.paintedarrow.com - BHC15 for 15% off https://www.spartanforge.ai (https://www.spartanforge.ai/) - save 25% with code bowhunter https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com (https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com/) s https://www.zingerfletches.com (https://www.zingerfletches.com/) https://huntworthgear.com/ https://www.lucky-buck.com (https://www.lucky-buck.com/) https://www.bigshottargets.com (https://www.bigshottargets.com/) https://genesis3dprinting.com (https://genesis3dprinting.com/) https://vitalizeseed.com (https://vitalizeseed.com/) https://waypointtv.com/#podcast If you like what we are doing and want to see more, please consider checking out our Patreon account.
