On this episode of the Wild & Uncut Podcast, Kristy Titus is in Las Vegas at RMEF's Hunter & Outdoor Christmas in conjunction with the National Finals Rodeo with Quincy Eldridge, CEO of Rodeo Quincy. Descending from a long line of famed, passionate cowboys and cowgirls, and growing up on a picturesque cattle ranch in the Central Valley of California, rodeo is in Quincy's blood. With an impressive rodeo career under her belt, she used her gift of creativity and flair for fashion to create gorgeous collections for Ariat International, Wrangler and more before starting her namesake brand – Rodeo Quincy. At the heart of RQ is a collective of hardworking, faith-filled, and fun-loving cowgirls devoted to bringing the western lifestyle, heritage, and values to mainstream fashion. Among her duties as CEO, Quincy is also a daughter, sister, aunt, wife, and a mother. Family means the most to Quincy and many of RQ's designs are inspired by them, particularly her late mother, Sally Marvel Freeman. Sally was a true western fashion icon, and her style legacy lives on in every RQ piece. In 2018, Quincy married the love of her life, a blue-eyed, Nevada cowboy and professional rodeo steer wrestler, Dakota Eldridge. Together, the couple has two young daughters, Sally Lou (4) and Ruby Rosita (2). The family resides in California where they enjoy spending time together with family and friends, traveling, rodeoing, and hunting.  The Wild & Uncut Podcast is brought to you by Ruger, Marlin, Safari Club International, OnX Hunt and Wilderness Athlete.

It was a carefree time when we would leave the house in the morning and only return when it was dark. I have fond memories of hiking, skipping rocks, and playing with critters - typical kid stuff, really. 04:41 Fond memories of hunting with parents in Utah. 07:04 Bonding through outdoor activities, father and son. 11:11 Transitioned from news anchor to public relations director. 15:21 Father, a petroleum geologist, inspired deep love for profession. 17:12 Gaining factory work experience, learning from veterans. 19:31 Elk organization's efforts support wildlife and habitat conservation through fundraising and projects like forest thinning and prescribed burns. 24:34 Preserving land for public hunting and fishing access. 27:16 Addressing environmental and animal rights movements is crucial. These movements pose challenges such as limiting fishing and public access. Professional wildlife managers and biologists are essential for informed decision-making. 30:41 Hunting expeditions with family and friends in the mountains, seeking elk but not always successful, while also feeling excited about introducing the activity to a grandson and an unexpected interest from an older daughter. 33:24 Take decisive action and create opportunities. 37:47 I Considered buying various fly fishing bait colors. 39:29 Manages Elk Foundation publication staff and media monitoring. 44:04 Conserved 72,000 acres, opened access to 78,000. Large easement in Kentucky for public access. 36:52 What's one or two of your favorite books? I'm not really a book reader. I'm more of an online article reader. RMEF's Bugle Magazine. Although I do like John Grisham, I'll say that. 34:34 Favorite piece of Outdoor Gear under $100: So I really like fly fish. I buy the materials, and I tie my own flies. I really enjoy that. And so I came across my wife's embroidery thread. She had Orange for October caddises and olive green for olive caddises and black and yellow for really vibrant, for just Adam's flies or just all sorts of everything. And so I didn't purchase it. I'm like, Hey, when's the last time you did any of this? Oh, I don't really do that anymore. I'm going to take this bag, it has all these different colors in it. So it wasn't a purchase. It was more of just a pilfering. Right. And, but that's what I use. I mean, you can obviously go and get different types of materials from Sportsman's Warehouse or Cabela's or wherever you shop and make your own bodies. But I'm telling you that embroidery stuff works great Learn More To learn more about Mark and The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, visit their website at: https://www.rmef.org/ You can also visit The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation on these social sites: YouTube Facebook X Instagram Next Steps If you enjoy interviews devoted to the outdoor industry, find us online at ricksaez.com/listen.

Derek Ham is an accomplished businessman with a passion for the outdoors, hunting and conservation. He is especially passionate about getting kids and others involved in hunting and guiding them to understand the link and truth between hunting and conservation. He began his first career in Los Angeles working in the music industry. He later moved back to Texas in support of his family and pursued a career in Commercial Construction. Ultimately, his passion for the outdoors led him to Farm and Ranch Real Estate where he currently represents Ruple Ranch & Land.Derek's passion for the outdoors was fostered as a young boy by his father who grew up on the famed LX Cattle Ranch in the Texas panhandle. His father set the groundwork for his love of hunting and fishing. Derek has been an avid hunter and conservationist for the majority of his life traveling around the world hunting both unique and more traditional game alike. His most notable hunting accomplishment was being dropped by float plane in Alaska for a week for a self-guided hunt where he harvested the Number 11 all-time Pope & Young Moose with his recurve bow. Among other countries, he has also been a successful hunter in New Zealand, Spain, Greenland and Newfoundland. But, of course, he has and does most prominently hunt in our great state of Texas. Derek is a Lifetime member of Houston Safari Club Foundation, a member of the HSCF Board of Directors, and previously chaired the HSCF Annual Sporting Clays Tournament for two years.

Both of whom have traveled with him on his hunting adventures. He takes care to demonstrate his concern for a healthy wildlife population and ensure that the hunt is more than the harvesting of game but, more importantly, it's about the experience.

This week on Fist Full of Dirt, we're chatting with one of my favorite people in the outdoors. If you've ever been to a NWTF, DU or RMEF banquet (or any other wildlife conservation fundraiser) you've seen Dwight Jones in person. He is, in my opinion, the nation's top auctioneer. Dwight is super talented and has a great sense of humor to boot! If you think it's all about talking fast, you need to listen to this one. He's sharing some great stories and behind the scenes of what really makes money for wildlife.

This is a bonus episode of Leupold's Hunt Talk Radio, with Steve Decker of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, explaining the annual "Win A Hunt With Randy" sweepstakes we do with RMEF.  This year's winner will win a 2022 rifle elk hunt in Kentucky. Steve talks about the benefits of this sweepstakes and how important membership is to RMEF.  Also discussed are the rules, the manners to enter for existing and new members, and details of how the Kentucky elk reintroduction is one of the amazing conservation stories of our times.  To enter, go to www.RMEF.org/win-a-hunt

Joining Marcus on the podcast this week is Clint Salisbury. Clint is the Regional Director in Michigan for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. The guys kick things off talking about Clint's path that brought him to RMEF and why he always looked at this type of position as a dream job. From there, they spend the rest of the conversation discussing elk in Michigan. Clint gives a good history on the elk herd and how conservation work has been able to restore it to the healthiest that it has been in sometime, if not ever. Drawing an elk tag in Michigan is something most will never get to experience given that only roughly 300 tags are given out each year depending on herd numbers. However, in recent years, those hunters have posted an 80% success rate and with that a part of history in Michigan. Harvesting an elk in Michigan for most is a dream hunt and with the tireless work that volunteers are doing hopefully more get that chance to fulfill that dream. Learn more about your ad choices.
