S1 E8 | Aldo's tools revisited 88 years later

Aldo Leopold’s defined his 5 tools of game management when he wrote Game Management over 80 years ago.

Join Adam and Jarred as they share their thoughts on the habitat management tools that should be added to the list. What tools would you add to Aldo’s list? Also, listen as Jarred tries to convince Adam that his toolbox analogy isn’t complete nonsense.
