Predator Politics-Merle Jones

Overdrive Outdoors Podcast

On this week's episode, Josh and Kevin are joined by Merle Jones. Merle has been very active in the Michigan predator hunting and trapping world of politics, from back to being a huge face for centerfire at night to current issues. We talk about how Merle got involved, and what it's been like working on political/ legislative issues to one on one talks with various hunters and trappers. Merle discusses with us current and potential future issues facing predator hunting and trapping in Michigan from his role as Public relations director for Michigan trappers and predator callers association. Covering everything from what we as the hunter and trappers can do to help in the fight to save our heritage, to what the opposition is doing to stop it. We talk about the various factions involved such as the DNRC, MUCC and MTPCA as well as PETA and other organizations that wish to stop us from doing what we love. If you love being able to hunt and trap in Michigan, this is a "must listen" to what each person can do to help in the battle, and what NEEDS to be done.
