Podcasts about hunter education

Georgia students could soon earn school credit while learning hunting safety and wildlife conservation. Georgia just took a major step toward strengthening the future of hunting, shooting sports, and wildlife conservation. This week's conversation breaks down the successful push to bring hunter education into Georgia schools after a two-year legislative effort backed by the sportsmen's community, state lawmakers, and conservation advocates. Fred sits down with Conner Barker to unpack how the bill moved through the Georgia legislature, why Governor Brian Kemp's signature matters for hunters and anglers, and what this means for recruiting the next generation of outdoorsmen. They also discuss how optional hunter education curriculum can improve firearm safety, conservation awareness, and long-term participation in hunting and fishing traditions. The conversation digs into the policy side of conservation funding, the role state fish and wildlife agencies play in hunter education programs, and why states across the country are watching Georgia's model closely. There's also discussion around prescribed fire legislation, public lands access, wildlife habitat management, and how conservation policy directly impacts hunters, anglers, and outdoor recreation nationwide. If you care about protecting hunting heritage, growing participation in the outdoors, and ensuring future generations understand the North American Model of Conservation, this is an important listen.

A major win for hunters in Tennessee collides with rising policy fights over hunting, trapping, and outdoor traditions nationwide. Momentum for hunting and fishing access continues across the country, but not without resistance. This week's roundup breaks down the policy battles shaping the future of the outdoors, from hunter education in schools to constitutional protections for hunting and fishing. Tennessee delivered a major victory for the hunting community as legislation allowing hunter education courses in public schools cleared the legislature and now awaits the governor's signature. The proposal would allow students in grades 5 through 12 to complete their hunter safety education during school hours, earning academic credit while learning firearm safety, wildlife conservation, and responsible outdoor participation. For young hunters, it creates a new pathway into the field and strengthens the future of the hunting tradition. Elsewhere, the fight proved tougher. A push to add the right to hunt and fish to the New Hampshire constitution fell just short in the state legislature after a close vote and a heated debate over wildlife policy and outdoor heritage. Despite the setback, the coalition behind the effort mobilized hunters, anglers, trappers, conservation groups, and unexpected allies across the state. The episode also looks west, where Colorado's proposed ban on the commercial sale of wildlife fur advanced despite strong opposition from conservation advocates who argue the move ignores science and the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. From turkey hunting season kicking off in the South to legislative fights affecting hunters nationwide, this conversation explains what these policy developments mean for sportsmen and women in the field.

The fight for hunting heritage is happening in classrooms and state capitols. The future of hunting, fishing, and America's outdoor traditions depends on more than recruitment. It hinges on smart conservation policy, access to quality land, and educating the next generation about their role on the landscape. Leaders from the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation break down proactive legislation shaping the sporting future across the Midwest and West. From hunter education in schools to bipartisan firearm safety efforts, they explain how states like Michigan and Arkansas are building pathways for youth exposure to hunting, conservation funding, and responsible firearm ownership. The conversation goes deeper than recruitment. You'll hear why the American System of Conservation Funding must be taught alongside physical science, how wildlife councils in Colorado and Michigan are reshaping public perception of hunters, and why access programs in Wisconsin are critical for maintaining quality hunting and fishing opportunities. This is an insider look at how state legislators, fish and wildlife agencies, and sportsmen's groups are protecting access, strengthening conservation funding, and defending private property rights. If you care about waterfowl hunting, deer management, public land access, or the long-term future of our outdoor heritage, this conversation matters.

License fees, fish hatcheries, and hunter education collide in Michigan's high-stakes conservation debate. Michigan's outdoor heritage runs on a model many hunters and anglers take for granted: user-funded conservation. Michigan DNR Deputy Director Shannon Lott and State Senator John Bumstead pull back the curtain on how hunting and fishing license dollars actually keep fisheries stocked, wildlife managed, and public lands open. The discussion centers on Michigan's long-overdue license fee restructuring and why it matters now more than ever. Rising costs have put pressure on fish hatcheries, Great Lakes stocking programs, and wildlife management budgets that are funded almost entirely by sportsmen and women. When license revenue falls short, the ripple effects show up fast, from threatened stocking cuts to deferred maintenance on state lands relied on by hunters, anglers, and outdoor recreationists. With fewer legislators holding hunting or fishing licenses, education has become critical. From the role of Sportsmen's Caucuses to the importance of maintaining agency authority grounded in science, the episode highlights how conservation policy is shaped long before it reaches the field. A major focus lands on Hunter Education in schools and why early exposure to firearm safety, conservation funding, and outdoor traditions matters for the future of hunting, fishing, and public access. Take a candid look at who pays into the system, who doesn't, and why protecting this funding model is essential for Michigan's outdoor economy and way of life.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter  Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of The Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast, host Rick Saez sits down with Tyler Pierce—a lifelong outdoorsman, mountaineer, and bowhunter whose love for adventure began early among the Colorado Rockies. From summiting his first 14er at age twelve and surviving eight knee surgeries to building his own supplement brand, Panglossian, Tyler shares how the outdoors shaped his resilience, his gratitude, and his drive to keep getting after it. Show Notes What Happened Back when I was 16, I applied for this obscure leadership scholarship—$5K to go live in the backcountry for two months with a bunch of strangers and a couple maps. No phone. No GPS. No “check engine” light for your soul. After 58 days navigating the Rockies, came the solo. Three days. No guides. No group. Just a tarp, a sleeping bag, and a goal: find my way 18 miles across unknown terrain using only coordinates and instinct. I had no idea what I was doing—but I also had no way out. There were no excuses. No parents. No bail-out plan. Just me, some snow-packed passes, and the quiet echo of, “figure it out.” That trip gave me something I couldn't have gotten anywhere else. Gratitude. Grit. And the unshakeable belief that I could handle hard things—even if my boots were frozen solid. Principle We don't grow when things are comfortable. We grow when the path is unclear, the gear is minimal, and the only option is to keep going anyway. The world tells us we need the perfect setup, the best equipment, or the ideal timing. But the truth is—those who succeed in the wild (and in business, and in life) are the ones who move forward even when none of those boxes are checked. Transition Too many folks wait. Wait for more money. More time. The right gear. The perfect plan. But what if the reason you feel stuck isn't a lack of resources—it's the belief that you need them in the first place? That belief is what holds most adventurers, creatives, and would-be founders back. That's Why… That's why this week's episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast with Tyler Pierce isn't just a story—it's a callout. A challenge. A reminder that the wild doesn't reward perfection. It rewards persistence. Tyler went from food stamps to founder, from Columbine survivor to elite bowhunter, from frozen boots to building arrows from animals he harvested himself. And through it all? He never waited to feel “ready.” He just kept moving. Call to Action If you've been waiting for the “right time” to chase the thing calling your name—stop. Waiting only gets you older and more frustrated. Listen to this episode and remember what it means to move with purpose, even when the path is hard.

This week, we're joined by Rachel Crume, KDFWR's R3 Program Coordinator, and Megan Bagby from the R3 Branch. We kick things off with early season deer hunting strategies, and Rachel—who's also an experienced deer tracker—shares valuable post-shot advice every hunter can use this fall. From there, we dive into the work of the R3 Branch (Recruitment, Retention, and Reactivation), highlighting how they help get people outdoors and involved in hunting, fishing, and other wildlife-related activities. Programs like Becoming an Outdoors Woman workshops and Hunter Education courses are just a couple of examples we cover. We round things out with some fishing talk and a few fun side topics along the way.

He's a former butcher, now a college instructor, in the agriculture technician program at College of the North Atlantic.

“The Congressional Sportsman's Foundation is very concerned with how some of the BSCA language is being implemented by the Department of Education,” said Taylor Schmitz, the Federal Relations Director for the Foundation. “We are hoping we can get the Administration to reverse course, and that a legislative fix by Congress will not be necessary, but it might come to that.” The Administration is being pressured by both sides of the political spectrum regarding whether or not it'll reframe its interpretation of the amendment. If the Administration doesn't make any changes, states may push for a legislative correction via Congress. Now is a good time to contact your state senators and representatives to let them know how you feel, as a citizen of their state and of this country, about the Administration's interpretation of the BSCA language.

Kjell Hedström is from the northern part of Sweden, just 1.5 hour drive south of the Arctic circle.  Growing up in Sweden meant to be immersed in a society that had deeply rooted hunting traditions and where many relied on moose for sustenance.  After winning two National championships in karate, Kjell transitioned from being challenged in sports to being challenged through hunting.  As late as 34 years old Kjell shot his first moose, on his first hunt and been an avid hunter ever since.  During hunting and eating wild game in Sweden, Kjell realized there were quality differences between meat from different regions and that they were mainly due to aging and wild game processing traditions.  Kjell now lives in Montana and is an aging and cured meats, DIY, and game processing ambassador who shares knowledge through his platform at TasteOfTheWoods.com.Topics Covered:Moose Everywhere!Foraging around the country.Allemansrätten: The Swedish Right to RoamAging and Curing everything from goose to deer.Hunting capercaillie and seals.Sweden and USA Hunting differences.Hunter Education in Sweden.Chasing RabbitsOther Hunting Perspective Episodes:  United Kingdom and Japan. You can find more about Everett Headley, your host, at his website or Instagram.  Intro Music: Jason Shaw- Back to the WoodsOutro Music: Bumy Goldson- Keep Walking
