Join me as I chat with Tommy Serafinski, an outdoorsman, podcaster, and conservation advocate. We dive into the complexities of wildlife management, the challenges of predator reintroduction, and the importance of effective communication in conservation efforts. Tommy shares his personal journey from city life in Poland to a passion for hunting, fishing, and science-driven conservation. We also explore the ethics of catch-and-release fishing and the impact of public perception on outdoor sports.
