On this week's episode of Through the Gates we sit down with lifelong rancher and conservationist Rusty Ross, whose family has been working the same Colorado land since 1904. Rusty shares raw, personal stories of surviving not one but TWO mountain lion attacks, land management, the toll of predator mismanagement, and the impact of ballot-driven wildlife policy on rural families and ranching traditions. We dive into the consequences of wolf reintroduction, rising predator populations, and the growing disconnect between urban voters and those who live with the realities of wildlife every day. From firsthand lion encounters to the collapse of logging and the fight to preserve agricultural heritage, this episode is a must-listen for hunters, landowners, and anyone who believes in science-based wildlife management.
