In this week's Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale continues his no holds barred discussion with Tom Opre the Director of the amazing new documentary film called The Real Yellowstone. In Part Two of the Podcast about the film Tom gives more previews into of this truly groundbreaking film. Again, this is not about Kevin Costner's character in the popular TV series called Yellowstone. Instead, the film tells the REAL-LIFE story of what farmers and ranchers all across Montana are up against and how their challenges continue to increase and now those challenges have spread to hunters and fishermen. As Rigger put it after he finished recording this podcast; "Tom Opre is a great journalist who really tried to be fair and let all sides tell their story, so the viewers really see all sides of this. That must have been very hard because once I saw this entire film I sure felt strongly that the incredibly wealthy radical environmental lobby is making a major push to take over the farmland and prime hunting and fishing areas of Montana. This is a big eye opener as this is not like what those groups used to try. They are really going for it all, in my opinion farmers, ranchers and outdoorsmen and women are in the crosshairs big time. In fact, during this second episode I could really see Tom's impartiality starting to crack a bit especially when he passionately said about hunting "If we can't do this, then I don't see much hope for humanity because this is the most essence of who we are as humans. It's in our DNA." After recording this Podcast Rigger also said, "I flat challenge you to watch this podcast and this film and tell me with a straight face that you think what these out of state groups are trying to do is fair... to anyone!"
