176 Open Fields Doctrine - With Chief Travis McLain

This week on Warden's Watch, Wayne sits down with Missouri Department of Conservation Chief of

Protection Travis McLain to tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in conservation law: the Open

Fields Doctrine. As both a conservation officer and attorney, Travis breaks down where the doctrine

came from, what it actually means, and why protecting wildlife resources requires a balance between

private property rights and public trust responsibilities.
