This expedition, inspired by Aldo Leopold’s similar hunt, wrote about in his essay, “A Turkey Hunt in the Datil National Forest,” is truly an effort to retrace Leopold’s footsteps. Throughout the episode, Malcolm and Rinella reflect on Aldo Leopold’s influence in game management, conservation, and modern hunting practices.
