You've heard from Myron and AJ before and we were thrilled to get Dr. Clay Hilton on the mic as well because he is a BIG deal in the bear world for his work in the research and trialing of a new sedative that will have a tremendous impact across the country. You'll learn the importance of the bear den studies, how they apply the data collected, and some possible changes to Bear Season in the state of Arkansas. Enjoy!
