Thanks for posting the piece on Aldo Leopold. As a career Wildlife Biologist, Aldo's philosophies and writings, in particular
Game Management (1933) and
A Sand County Almanac (1949), had a profound influence on my life as a wildlife researcher and manager, and lifetime as a hunter. I made my pilgrimage to Aldo's shack on a return fall hunting trip to the mid-west for grouse, woodcock, ducks, and pheasants in 2018. the visit to the shack and A.H. Fox 20 gauge, XE was impressive. Aldo notably served on several commissions with the USF&WS along with Jay "Ding" Darling, Chief, of the Biological Survey, in strong defense of hunting as a wildlife management tool and land stewardship, for conservation. We all owe Aldo Leopold an immense debt of gratitude!
