Public Access & Conservation with American Prairie | Episode 252

In this episode (#252) of Leupold's Hunt Talk Radio, Randy is joined by Mike Kautz and Paul Kemper of American Prairie, known as AP. Topics focus on access and conservation. AP has enrolled 88,000 acres of their private land in Montana's Block Management access program, along with allowing access across their private land to reach otherwise inaccessible public lands. The focus is on an uncrowded "quality experience," not necessarily big animals. AP has a herd of 800 bison and leases their lands to cattle operators where over 8,000 cattle graze to sustain a grassland system dependent upon grazing. Mike and Paul explain how AP uses hunting as a wildlife management tool, along with many other activities that occur on their lands. Conservation of habitat and species is the primary goal, being accomplished in a very interesting manner. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
