- North America Pronghorn podcast
This podcast was fantastic and you three had so much great information and insight into this species. I’m a proud member of NAPA and love the holistic approach to conserving this landscape and the positive effect it will have on all grassland species. Keep em coming Hal!

Apple Podcasts5BreakshunterUnited Statesa year ago - Hal is great
These podcasts ALWAYS educates on a variety of conservation related subjects. Hal is so laid back and obviously very well read and intelligent. So very glad I found the podcast.
Apple Podcasts5alligatordondUnited Statesa year ago - Gila episode
Great episode and overview of a wonderful place…I have done, and continue to do, lots of trail work in the burn scars there, and one conversation that was missing is that the FS is allowing the trails to completely disappear to the point of disintegrating access. There is a preservationist side of the agency that wants this, and the Gila burn scars will oblige unless dealt with more assertively. Access is disappearing there, and there aren’t near as many trails as the maps show.
