Managing Vt’s Wildlife and the Forests they Live in with Two Former Commissioners Who Love to Hunt

In this episode of Northwoods Whitetails, we welcome former Vermont Fish and Wildlife Commissioner, Louis Porter and sister department former Vermont Commissioner of Forests, Parks and Recreation, as well as author of Woods Whys: An Exploration of Forests and Forestry, Mike Snyder for an educational conversation of the correlation of management between the Wildlife and Forestry Departments.
Long-time friends and colleagues, Louis and Mike, both of whom served in the Shumlin Administration and transitioned into the Scott Administration share challenges, insights, and understanding of the working relationship between the two departments as well as the future of deer hunting in Vermont.
From public and private land owners to animal habitat to the logging and timber industry, we touch on an array of how to maintain deer yards, the rapidly increasing costs of logging and the declining timber industry, the complications surrounding the growing bear population, mysterious carbon offsets, the green elitist playground and much more!

Fellow northern Vermonter here. Fascinating topics & conversations today.
Let us all pray that better messaging, solid science & existing skill of these experts can protect us all from ballot box ecology. Gosh VT is worth it.
