In this episode of the Aptitude Outdoors Podcast, host Paul Fuzinski welcomes Brant MacDuff, the author of The Shotgun Conservationist, for an engaging conversation that challenges common misconceptions about hunting and its role in conservation. Brant, who began his journey into hunting later in life, shares his insights into how hunting is not only a tradition but also a crucial part of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. They discuss how this model, often overlooked by the general public, has been instrumental in preserving wildlife populations and habitats across the continent. Brant's book, The Shotgun Conservationist, serves as a foundation for their discussion, offering a fresh perspective on the importance of hunting as a tool for conservation. Get The Shotgun Conservationist Here: https://www.immortalanimals.com/book The conversation delves into the economic realities of wildlife management, highlighting how hunting funds are directly tied to conservation efforts. Brant explains how the money generated from hunting licenses, permits, and taxes on hunting equipment plays a vital role in maintaining the health of ecosystems and wildlife populations. He debunks the myth that wildlife can thrive without human management, pointing out that habitat loss and human expansion make active wildlife management more necessary than ever. Through his personal anecdotes and extensive research, Brant makes a compelling case for why hunting is essential to conservation. Listeners will also hear about the challenges faced by hunters and conservationists alike in communicating the importance of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation to a broader audience. Brant and Paul discuss the emotional and political hurdles that often cloud public understanding of these issues. They emphasize the need for greater awareness and education about how conservation works and why hunting is a critical component. This episode is a deep dive into the intersection of hunting, conservation, and wildlife management, offering listeners a nuanced understanding of these complex topics.

The story of Brant MacDuff, the author of the book under the title “The Shotgun Conservationist: Why Environmentalists Should Love Hunting” is in many ways similar to mine. We were both born and raised in the city without any contact or access to hunting. We overcame not insignificant obstacles to get into hunting later in life and both of us decided to share this experience with others who might want to do the same but don't know where to start. Both Brant and I also understood how important but counterintuitive the connection between hunting and wildlife conservation is.As you know, I've created a downloadable guide on how to get started with deer hunting in Ireland and the topic of the science of wildlife conservation is literally in the title of this podcast. Brant, achieved both of those goals in one go by writing his book. There are, of course, differences between us. For one, Brant lives in the USA where the connection between hunting and conservation is more direct than in Europe. He also started in his youth as an anti-hunter, something which I never was. Nevertheless, while reading Brant's book and then chatting with him on this podcast, I undeniably felt that we have a lot in common.The Shotgun Conservationist is one of those books that I would definitely recommend, not only to those who want to try hunting, but also to those who are open-minded enough to explore why so many counterintuitively repeat the mantra of “hunting is conservation”. Finally, despite the realities of hunting, conservation and the public perception of hunting being different in the US compared to Europe, it fascinates me how many of those themes are shared across the globe.Enjoy our conversation and after you've listened to it, go ahead and buy the book using the provided link.
