Podcasts about Fair chase

The Fair Chase podcast is back, and we're diving into our wild bison hunt with Jordan Parham, our ace videographer. Fresh off releasing Frozen Arrow, we unpack the chaos of bowhunting bison in brutal -30°F South Dakota winds. Jordan talks about filming in frostbite conditions, juggling cameras, and capturing a rare pass-through shot that stunned our guide. We break down the hunt's highs, lows, and why bison are tougher than nails.   As we plan a grizzly hunt, Jordan shares how we balance epic adventures with creative storytelling for brands like Kifaru. If you love behind-the-scenes banter and gear talk, this one's a must-listen.   We also cover:  - The bison that shrugged off heart shots like it was nothing  - Freezing cameras, numb fingers, and fighting mental fog  - Packing smarter for grizzly hunts (zip-off pants, anyone?)  - The art of filming hunts without spooking the quarry   Follow us here: https://www.instagram.com/thefairchase/ https://www.facebook.com/fairchaseofficial/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/thefairchase/ https://x.com/TheFairChase1    SAVE 30% on TUO Gear!

In this episode, Matt Bortz joins the show for an in-depth discussion about the evolving landscape of hunting ethics in the face of modern technology. As a member of Idaho's HAT Committee (Hunting and Advanced Technology), Matt shares key insights into a recent initiative by the Idaho Fish and Game Commission to evaluate the impact of technology on fair chase principles. The conversation explores: Public sentiment on hunting technologies like rangefinders, game cameras, GPS collars, smart optics, thermal imaging, drones, and AI. Survey findings from over 15,000 Idaho hunters that reveal a near-even split on contentious tools like cell trail cameras and smart scopes, while showing strong opposition to night vision, thermals, and AI for animal identification. Ethical and enforcement challenges, including how perceptions vary across regions and user experience levels. The human element of the hunt, including a gripping personal story of a challenging solo bear hunt that ends with an adrenaline-pumping close encounter. Youth outreach and conservation efforts, highlighting the importance of educating the next generation on ethical hunting and the role of community-led programs. The episode ultimately underscores the importance of public input in wildlife regulation, the need for balance between tradition and innovation, and a call to action for hunters to voice their views when new regulations are proposed.Episode NotesIn this episode, Matt Bortz joins the show for an in-depth discussion about the evolving landscape of hunting ethics in the face of modern technology.

Forward Facing Sonar / Fair Chase - Modern Carnivore Podcast - (EP:051) This episode of the Modern Carnivore Podcast was recorded at the 2025 Backcountry Hunters & Anglers North Country Ice Breaker. The event provided an opportunity to capture insights from three experienced outdoorsmen on the topic of fair chase. Specifically, we focused on forward facing sonar technology and how it is changing the fishing experience (and potentially catch rates). Publications like Outdoor News have been reporting on this topic for years. Some state agencies have started to address the topic directly, but many are holding tight and waiting to see where things go. Let us know if you have thoughts on how this technology can be best used, and what restrictions (if any) should be put on it.     Guests on today's podcast include: Mike Hehner from Linder Media Productions Greg Kvale - Board Member of Minnesota Backcountry Hunters & Anglers David Lien is a co-founder of the Minnesota Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Other Posts You May Like https://modcarn.com/conservation-mcp-ep028/ https://modcarn.com/hardwater-hunters-go-darkhouse-spearfishing/ https://modcarn.com/hunting-still-relevant-mcp040/

In this episode of the Aptitude Outdoors Podcast, we dive into the fascinating life and enduring legacy of Henry William Herbert, better known by his pen name Frank Forester. As a 19th-century writer and sportsman, Herbert played a pivotal role in shaping the culture of hunting in North America. Through his vivid literary works, he introduced the concept of "fair chase," emphasizing the ethical responsibilities of hunters and promoting a deeper respect for nature. His contributions laid the groundwork for the conservation movement, influencing future leaders like Theodore Roosevelt and George Bird Grinnell. We explore how Herbert's writings transcended mere hunting manuals, offering rich narratives that captivated readers and elevated the sport to an ethical pursuit. His advocacy for fair chase challenged the norms of his time, fostering a sense of responsibility among hunters that continues to resonate today. Herbert's influence on hunting practices and conservation efforts is a testament to his vision of sportsmanship and respect for wildlife. However, Herbert's life was also marked by personal struggles that ultimately led to his tragic suicide in 1858. In this episode, we reflect on the complexities of his life, examining how his inner turmoil contrasted with his public success. Despite his untimely death, Henry William Herbert's legacy lives on, influencing generations of hunters and conservationists who seek to uphold the values he championed. Tune in as we unravel the story of this remarkable figure in American sporting history.

Release Date: 04-10-23There has never been a bigger impact for Houndsmen than the WOLF. Houndsmen have had their futures and breeding programs altered, changed the way they hunt, changed areas they hunt, even moved their families to new areas of the country hundreds of miles away all because of the wolf. The Foundation For Wildlife Management (f4wm) is a group that is taking on the weaponized, politicized and mischaracterized issue of the invasion and impact of the Canadian Grey Wolf in the Northern Rocky Mountain Region. Justin Webb is the CEO for the f4wm. Justin saw the impact the wolf was making on native wildlife populations, how it was affecting recreation opportunities and destroying hunting opportunities in areas that were once teeming with wildlife. He was not willing accept that. He recognized that the wolf is a project that is weaponized by the anti hunting community, a political hot potato and was being forced down the throat of every hunter. His efforts have created an organization that has taken the issue straight on. The f4wm has worked with many sporting organizations and wildlife managers to put aggressive management plans in place that has reduced wolf numbers by over 1600 wolves and paid out over $1 million in reimbursement to hunters and trappers taking wolves.This is a must listen podcast for every Houndsman that is serious about preserving our lifestyle.

In this Episode I talk to Thomas Baumeister of "Access WILD" and "Orion - The hunters Institute" about the question of hunting and the way in which hunters can develop an ethical framework. We begin our conversation with a brief reminder of the four ways  in which society generally values wildlife  (Traditionalist, Mutualist, Pluralist, and Distanced). We then outline the ways in which hunters and anti-hunters can be be classified.We then turn our attention to "ethics" and the ways in which ethical philosophy can be applied to the question of hunting. Thomas then explains whether killing an animal can be ethically justified, and we discuss the concept of "moral residue".We then turn our attention to "Fair Chase", first by defining it, and then by examining its origins. I then ask Thomas about "optimizing advantage" - the idea that hunting can be neither too easy, nor too difficult. We then discuss the importance of the hunting experience, and the way in which moral residue is an important part of the hunting experience.Thanks for listening to the Fat Bird, Ugly Dog Podcast. I hope you enjoy this episode.

On this airing of The Great Outdoors, Charlie Potter shares the movement of lobsters, striped bass, and bluefish off the coast of Maine, and the comprehensive review launched by Idaho to determine how technology can be used when hunting to ensure “fair chase.”

Smart as he may have been, nearly everything ol' Grandad taught about fair chase hunting ethics originated in the late-1800s when yesteryear hunters formed the venerable Boone and Crockett Club. Their forever vision didn't stop there. Backbone of the North America Model of Wildlife Conservation, Boone and Crockett helped set aside millions of acres in perpetuity, brought hunters-as-conservationists into mainstream American conciousness, worked to establish the world's most enviable collection of wildlife-minded legislation, and formed other wildlife conservation organizations to include Ducks Unlimited. Tony Schoonen and Luke Coccoli colorfully describe 137 years of roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-'er-done milestones that transformed America into an amazing place to hunt wild animals. Beyond coonskin caps and record books, our ancestors realized we were "borrowing from future generations," and did something about it. Do we have what it takes to continue what they started?
