No one has to dig into the depths of social media to find that the topic of hunter recruitment descends into the darkest corners of keyboard dissertations. Some points against hunter recruitment have partial validity, others come from genuine concern, and some misguided thoughts need actual attention. But the people who rant about this issue are playing checkers when a chess game is afoot. Hunter recruitment is more complex than people believe. Frankly, some folks miss the point altogether. Negative opinions regarding hunter recruitment are a symptom of a larger issue: state wildlife agencies are underfunded. Nearly everything about how states fund wildlife management is complicated, including how states collect funds. One of these ways is through hunting license sales. This is why states care about increasing the number of licenses sold. In its simplest, most watered-down form, this is why states are investing time, energy, and money into hunter recruitment.

Doug Duren is one of the most dedicated conservationists of our time. He's an Aldo Leopold fan, and his passion for conservation led him to coining the catchy phrase, “It's not ours, it's just our turn.” He is a contributor to MeatEater and is a regular guest on the MeatEater podcast. Doug joins Nick and the Doctor to discuss a range of hunting and conservation topics and he shares why he is particularly dedicated to getting the word out about chronic wasting disease when so many others shy away from it. He talks about managing his family farm that has been in the family for 120 years, and how his management of the property differs from that of his father. Part of that management involves sharing it with his friends and also as a tool to recruit new hunters. He believes private landowners can do more for conservation and he is leading by example. Also in this episode we answer three Ask NDA Anything questions ranging from food plots to fawns to saddle hunting. Nick shares the story of his not so incredible journey home from a recent trip to Austin, TX and the guys rehash their turkey hunting adventures, which are always more entertaining than productive.

When Melissa Bachman burst onto the outdoor scene, she quickly gained a reputation as one of the hardest working people in the industry. Over the years she has built an incredible fan following and constantly delivers some of the best outdoor television you can find. It's always fun to talk to Melissa, and after we caught up at ATA I knew we had to get her on the podcast. First, her and Ben had an incredible brown bear hunt on Kodiak. Full draw on a brown bear at four yards, and that isn't even the craziest part of the story!The other? Coyote popsicles. Sorry, not going to explain that one, you'll just have to listen. We also touch on an issue that has been very important to Melissa, and one that I take very seriously: Hunter retention. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, but it goes fast. Welcome to the latest episode of the SPYPOINT Podcast.

Hunter Recruitment, through a New Lens! On this week's episode Mark has a conversation with Torey Vayer and Lincoln Larson. These two are researchers with the North Carolina State University's College of Natural Resources. In contrast with many of the guest on this podcast, Torey and Lincoln are not hunters. However, I think this makes what they have to say even more important. They recently released their research involving thousands of students across the country. Their research, in a nutshell, involved two main questions: Do you hunt? If not, do you have an interest in hunting? College campuses are traditionally a very diverse place. Since this is the case, Torey and Lincoln were able to get a very unique and diverse sample for their research. During their research they came across a lot of interesting data. This research can provide vital insight into the future of hunter recruitment. Are we putting hunter recruitment dollars in the wrong place? You will have to listen in to this episode of the Modern Carnivore Podcast to discover what they found! Students learn how to hunter through program at North Carolina State University. For More on Hunter Recruitment! Hunter recruitment is crucial. Now more than ever. The number of hunters is slowly declining and we must act to reverse the trend.

"My marshal turns around and says, 'Hey Buddy." I turn around, and his face is ghost white. He's bent over in pain and says, 'You see that bank over there? We gotta go. Right now.' " — John Hunter This episode's a funny one. We have John Hunter returning. You may recall John if you follow professional fishing. This year he fished the FLW, and he's fished the Bassmaster Elite Series, too. He's also GoWild's Chief Strategy Officer, meaning he heads up all things related to our product strategy when it comes to hunting and fishing. And as if he wasn't busy enough, he started a little company called Graph Glass. We'll catch up on how the season treated John, and quickly dive into questions from users. You'll hear Brad stumble through your very specific fishing questions, admit he uses a godawful fishing reel setup, and then comes some hilarious stories from John. Oh, and Donovan Sears makes an appearance to try and foil GoWild's plans for world domination. Ugh. Sit back. Grab some tissues to wipe those happy tears from your eyes.

“When I want something, I’m going to do it. It keeps me up at night. I try, and if it fails, I’ll try again.” — Brad Smith It’s hard to pinpoint when change is happening. It feels like it’s always happening and never happening. But in the age of storytelling and media, it’s happening right now. This interview is going to dig into that. What happens when an entity that is nearly synonymous with the Internet and freedom of speech decides to censor content? Hate speech is one thing, but what about when it's just something the entity doesn't like but it's totally legal? That's hunting. It will be interesting to see how digital censorship plays out. Now this episode isn’t all conspiracy theory discussion. That’s actually just a small part of it. But it was a part that's unique and extremely relevant to some things happening in the industry right now. Today’s guest is Brad Smith. Many of you will know Brad from his work with Wide Open Spaces, as well as for being the Founder of Walton Rods. We’ll hear Brad’s journey into both of these ventures today. Get ready.

"Life is a film reel, not a snapshot." — Eric Clark Eric Clark is the founder of Where to Hunt. He's built the app as a side hustle, and today, we're talking about how he's pursuing making it his full-time job. The American Dream is synonymous with this mental picture of rainbows and pots of gold. But in reality, the American Dream is like the weather: Rainbows don’t come until the storm passes. Chasing that dream is hard. It’s more challenging than I ever thought. It weighs on me more than I tell people. Having the responsibilities of being the catalyst for a company—the make it happen person, the ideator, the chief of sales and head honcho of finance? All of that comes with a lot of stress in hopes of a reward. Those rewards vary—some do it to get rich, while some do it just in hopes of supporting their family while doing what they love. The stress is ubiquitous either way. I’ve talked about those challenges a lot on this show from my perspective with GoWild. Today I am pumped to bring on a tech entrepreneur in the outdoors space who is going to give us his perspective. Welcome to Restless Native, Eric Clark. Download Where to Hunt for iPhone or Android.

"I gave myself three years. If this show wasn't profitable in three years, then I probably didn't belong on television. I kept it real. I was honest. And it's working out pretty well." - Gus Congemi, Host of Live the Wild Life Networking and relationships can take you a long ways. Today we’re talking to a guy who will time and time again echo this statement. Make sure you don’t just have talent, you better build some relationships along the way. I wasn’t too familiar with Gus Congemi, the host of the show Live the Wild Life, until I started working with Arcus for GoWild. And really, I hadn’t had a chance to really dive into his content until recently when I started preparing for this chat. What I found was I really liked Gus’ content and Gus. As a hunter, he’s very different than a lot of the personalities out there. And his show has a lot to like about it. Somewhere in watching four or five episodes for prep, I kind of forgot I was prepping and just found myself along for the ride. If you aren’t familiar with his show, I’m willing to bet some of you have seen a famous shot of Gus staring down a 10 foot tall brown bear with his bow in hand. It’s an epic photograph and even better story. Gus is going to tell that tale and quite a few more. Enjoy it.

As many of you know, GoWild has partnered with From Field to Plate and SIXSITE to promote hunter recruitment with a sweepstakes valued at over $4,500. The sweepstakes ran for 2 months, and collectively generated nearly 3,000 new hunters and anglers for 2018. "I know this is a drop in the bucket in what the industry needs, but we're proud to be working with people and brands who understand that if we all just work together, these small efforts can eventually create bucket loads of new hunters and anglers," said GoWild Co-Founder Brad Luttrell. "For being as young of a company as we are, we're proud to see our little ol' community be this activated and inspired to jump in and solve this R3 issue." Team GoWild sat down on August 1 and called one random winner for the sweepstakes. You can listen to the episode above to see who won and just how that announcement went. The winner will join GoWild Co-Founders Brad Luttrell and Donovan Sears on an all-expense-paid hunting trip to Texas, where wild game chef Jeremiah Doughty will teach his process of hunting, butchering and cooking whitetail. SIXSITE will outfit the winner in their USA-made, high-quality camo. "We want to give back to those who are giving," said Doughty. "I want to be a part of the winner's life, because this will be a person who is pledging to help make an impact." Note: There is no video. Sorry. **About SIXSITE** Founded in 2015, SIXSITE is a high-performance hunting and outdoor apparel and gear provider.

"No matter where I've been or what I've done, it turns out, the most important aspect of it have been the people. I don't remember the photos as much as the relationships." — Tony Bynum Speaking up in contest when you know it could not only lead to backlash, but cost you clients and therefore your livelihood is not only courageous, it’s typically the makeup of a leader, which is who we have today. Tony Bynum is an outdoor photographer and the president of the Professional Outdoor Media Association by title, but he’s so much more than that. He's an activist as much as a conservationist. Tony is incredibly passionate about wildlife. You’ll find few people who dedicate so much of their life to improving our nation’s public lands and wildlife, as well as telling that story. You may have recently seen Tony’s image of a massive grizzly bear on the cover of Outdoor Life. It was the primary image for a story about the return of the grizzly bear and the science behind the hunt. He creates this kind of beautiful imagery time and time again. Tony tells all kinds of stories. And you'll find out a bit more about Brad today. This is a great one. Enjoy!

"As an industry, if we keep drinking out of the same watering hole, we're all going to be thirsty." — Joshua Stratton, Against the Current I love disruptive people. If you’re building a product, or using products or marketing tactics in an unexpected way, or doing something entirely different, that takes courage. That’s Joshua Stratton. Today’s guest is not afraid to speak his mind. He’s not afraid to talk about the shortcomings of the outdoors industry. And he’s not afraid to talk about his shortcomings. Joshua didn’t come from hunting heritage. So in a lot of ways, he’s the guy we’ve talked so much about recruiting. We need people who might find this way of life interesting for the recreation and the meat acquisitions—not because it’s what their grandfather did. That’s a great tactic to grow the lifestyle we all love. Joshua and I talk about those R3 efforts, that’s recruitment, retainment and re-engagement. But we’re going so much deeper. This guy gets deep. We’re going to discuss religion, humanity, parenthood, consumerism, business and bears. And more. Joshua and I met at POMA, or the Professional Outdoor Media Association.

“You can’t blame hunters for the creation of humans.” — Lincoln Tapp, Bowhunter & Host of YoungWild Lincoln Tapp has become pretty well known within the hunting community. He’s currently chasing a goal that’s almost synonymous with his name. He’s spent a third of his life traveling across North America in an attempt to become the youngest person to harvest 29 of North America’s Big Game Animals. At 12 years old, Lincoln became the youngest known archer to harvest the Stone Sheep. He checked another box at 14 when he became the youngest archer to harvest the Super 10 of North American Big Game, and he also completed his archery Grand Slam with the Four North American Wild Sheep, which means he harvested Dall’s, Stone’s Sheep, Rocky Mountain Bighorn and Desert Bighorn sheep. Lincoln is also the host of “YoungWild” which you can find on the Outdoor Channel. I think about how young he is, and I'm so impressed and optimistic. This isn't your typical celebrity. This is a guy whose peers are thinking of prom dates and their first cars. So if we slow down and realize how far ahead he is from a typical person his age, he feels 20 years ahead of his time. This is a great conversation with a young man I'm now proud to know. I hope you enjoy.

“It hit me that if this could happen to a 10 year old, it could be me. For a minute I was lost, not knowing what to do next. Since my experience going hunting, I’ve done things I would have never done before.” — Marcus Stiggers, SIXSITE When I look at our industry, I’m inspired most by brands that market through empowerment, not impossibility. SIXSITE is one of those brands. Stephen Holley, the founder, understands that he makes a high end product, but he also understands the market well. He’s marketing to a new generation of hunters. And he’s marketing to a generation that’s largely untapped. While SIXSITE does make high-quality gear, the organization understands the lay of the land. They’re doing their part to get more people outside. Overall, that creates a healthy industry, and a healthy industry is good for business. And also at the root of this is doing the right thing. We’re going to hear from one of those people that SIXSITE has activated. Marcus Stiggers has suffered incredible loss. And he’s going to tell us about that loss, and how it’s changed his life. And how all of this ultimately brought him into this wonderful world of hunting. This podcast is hard to summarize. Overall, I am proud to know and work with, Stephen Holley. I respect what they’re doing in the industry and that they’re playing the long game. I also have an incredible amount of respect for Marcus for what he’s gone through and how he’s pushing Away Video Afield Cookbook link Link to podcast with him on Hunting Collective SIXSITE’s website New video of Marcus’ first hunt **This episode is brought to you by Houston Safari Club Foundation** This episode of Restless Native is brought to you by Houston Safari Club Foundation.

"People have failure. People should know that. If they come into this and think they're going to have a 100% success—they're not. Learning from your failures makes you a better hunter. And that has to happen." — Kimmi Greentree Some of you know today’s guest because of her husband. But in a little over an hour, you’ll see she stands out on her own. Prior to my interview, I admired Kimmi Greentree's authenticity and self awareness. Her social media profiles are hilarious and I liked her. But in a very impersonal way, similar to how you might think a comedian is funny. Or how you might like to follow a social media account because they post good memes. But after this conversation, I really connected with that authenticity, and saw it being applied into the outdoors space. She doesn’t apologize for her feelings. She doesn’t apologize for not knowing something. She doesn’t apologize for disagreement, even with her husband. She doesn’t apologize for her experiences. Kimmi is Adam Greentree’s wife. Many of you will know Adam as the bowhunter who’s blown up recently. He’s been on Joe Rogan quite a bit, which I know a lot of you enjoy, as do I. I wanted to know what it’s like to have a family, and a husband who's traveling all over the globe hunting. We're going to talk life, loss, love, and more in this show. And it's a fantastic conversation. Restless Native Shirts are Still Available—But Limited We do still have a few of our shirts left. You can grab one today for $20 and shipping is free.

Pro Talk Outdoors snagged a few minutes with Mark Drury to Dive Deep into the idea of Hunter Recruitment. Check it out!

Hunter recruitment is critical for our sport to survive. QDMA says that declining hunter participation is one of the single most important issues impacting deer hunting and management today. But what's to blame? Is it social media? Is it a lack of hunter unity? Is it the media or the anti-hunter winning over the middle ground? These are tough questions to answer, but it'll be essential for us to answer to reverse the trend of declining hunter numbers. We turned to John Stallone to discuss this topic in-depth as he just wrote a think piece article about the subject. But we don't stop there. I've always been fascinated with John's ability to successfully take coyote with a bow an arrow. Hunting coyotes with a bow will undoubtedly help you with those adrenaline filled deer hunting moments when you need to make it count. But how the heck can you get a good bow shot on a coyote? John discusses his strategies.

This past August, the Minnesota DNR held their "Minnesota Angler and Hunter Recruitment and Retention Conference" to share information on best practices to design and deliver recruitment and retention programs. This audio is a compilation of presentations from Mark Norquist of Modern Carnivore, Matt Dunfee who is the Programs Manager for Wildlife Management Institute and joining them is a new hunter, a gentleman who proclaims himself as an "adult-onset hunter" who takes the audience through his journey from learning in a classroom to finally being outside with his mentor, Mark. Quite the story. While this is just the audio, it is full of useful information - no matter if you want to implement something similar in your area, or wondering why some programs are not working at all. Learn more about Modern Carnivore at www.ModCarn.com Thanks for Listening and Reviewing!
