Fresh off the Safari Club International Convention, Chad is back in the studio breaking down everything that made this year's event unforgettable. From the energy on the show floor to the conversations around conservation, SCI continues to prove why it's one of the most important organizations in the hunting world. Chad shares what he saw, who he met, and why the mission behind SCI and the SCI Foundation matters now more than ever. He talks about leadership, including the work being done by Laird Hamberlain and the SCI Foundation, and why the convention is a driving force behind global conservation, wildlife management, and advocacy. This episode is a firsthand look at what makes SCI so powerful and why every hunter should experience the convention at least once. This episode is proudly presented by Safari Club International and Safari Club International Foundation, and brought to you by Benelli Shotguns, Federal Premium Black Cloud, Jack Link's Protein Snacks, Nashville Palace, CamoSpace, and Merlo Waterfowl

Chad sits down with MLB pitcher Justin Wilson at Banded Drake Ranch for a conversation that moves from the mound to the marsh. Justin talks about his career in the big leagues. From the ups, the setbacks, the mentality that kept him there, to what separates guys who last from guys who don't. He opens up about pressure, preparation, and the work ethic required to stay relevant at the highest level of professional sports. They also dive into duck hunting and how it shaped Justin growing up, why it still plays a role in his life today, and how the outdoors balances the intensity of baseball. It's a strong conversation about longevity, discipline, and the life lessons that carry from stadium lights to flooded timber.

Chad sits down with Jeff Tarsi of Nutrien Ag Solutions at Banded Drake Ranch for a thoughtful conversation about farming, conservation, and the full-circle relationship between agriculture and waterfowl. Jeff shares his perspective on sustainability, innovation, and why honesty in business is so important, even if that means saying, “I don't know, but I'll find out.” They talk about generations of farmers, new technology, AI in agriculture, and the opportunities available not just to large-scale producers, but to weekend growers and backyard gardeners as well. The episode explores how modern farming supports wildlife populations, strengthens conservation efforts, and ultimately plays a role in the success of wildlife numbers across the country. It's a reminder that hunting and agriculture aren't at odds; they're connected.

The Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) is pulling out all the stops to block a Safari Club International proposal to reform the federal subsistence board. As KNBA's Rhonda McBride reports, AFN says it is a direct threat to the Alaska Native subsistence way of life. Last year, Safari Club International, a sport hunting and fishing group, petitioned two Trump cabinet members for the review. It asked Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to address what it calls “federal overreach” in subsistence management. In mid-December, the Interior Department granted the request and announced a 60-day review, called a “scoping process”. During this period, it will consider the Safari Club's recommendations, which includes a proposal to limit the size of the federal subsistence board to only the heads of five federal agencies. AFN President Ben Mallott says this would eliminate public seats, including three held by tribal representatives. “We've been working for that for a very long time, so we are concerned that any rollback in public member seats would just weaken our voices. And so for us, that is a major threat.” The petition also seeks to change the make-up of Regional Advisory Councils, the volunteers who recommend policies to the Federal Subsistence Board. The Safari Club says sport and commercial hunters and fishers are not adequately represented on these councils. But beyond changing the leadership structure of subsistence management, the Safari Club calls on federal agency heads, when setting regulations, to defer to state managers – a move that opponents say would undermine the Alaskan National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), legislation Congress passed 45 years ago to protect Alaska's rural subsistence lifestyle. The Safari Club says it is stepping in to protect the state's rights, because federal managers have repeatedly overstepped the bounds of ANILCA. John Sturgeon, a leading advocate for the Alaska Safari Club says, says this is a fight about fish and game management, not about the rights of rural Alaskans to subsist. “We have no problem with subsistence. We support it, so it's kind of a perceived conflict. We just think the state of Alaska should be in charge of subsistence.” The problem is, the state's constitution does not allow for a rural subsistence priority, which federal law mandates. Public comment on the Safari Club proposals closes on February 13. The campus of Spokane Falls Community College. (Photo: T85cr1ft19m1n / Wikimedia) Indigenous-knowledge focused centers are on their way to Spokane Falls Community College and the Spokane Community College campus on the Spokane reservation in Washington. As Steve Jackson reports, a grant from Avista Utilities is providing the seed money. Indigenous Healing Environments Across Lifeways (I-HEAL) centers will hold workshops on skills and concepts related to sustainability of water, land, animals, and climate. They will also include studies related to using plants for food and medicine. Spokane Colleges Tribal Relations Director Naomi Bender says she will seek out Indigenous presenters from tribes in the region, but she says instructors will be careful in what they present. “Traditional knowledge of plants and medicines, for example, was illegal in the U.S. And to this day, we're very careful about what's shared and what's not because people want to monetize and they want to harm what knowledge they gain at times.” Bender says both Indigenous and non-Native students will be welcome at the I-HEAL centers. She anticipates they will begin holding workshops in about a year. (Courtesy IAIA) Congress recently approved more than $13 million in federal funding for the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe, N.M. for Fiscal Year 2026. This comes after the Trump administration's proposal to eliminate IAIA's federal appropriation.

On tonight's show, Jim and his guests, Ed Morris, former President of the League of Kentucky Sportsmen and Larry Richards, past President of the Kentuckiana Chapter of Safari Club International comment about Attorney General Russell Coleman's published opinion that current Commission Chairmen Chuck Meade should resign or be removed by court action. The issue at stake is the Landowner Exemption granted by the KRS statutes that allow resident landowners to hunt or fish on their own land without a license.

The Alaska chapter of Safari Club International took a group of men from Kipnuk deer hunting last month. The hunters were evacuees from a storm that ravaged the Western Alaska coast, unleashed by Typhoon Halong. After more than a month of staying in shelters and hotel rooms in Anchorage, they were quick to accept the invitation. As KNBA's Rhonda McBride tells us, what transpired turned out to be more than just a hunt. The Safari Club and Alaska Native subsistence hunters have often been on the opposite side in debates over fish and game management. And some who have followed the politics over the years find it puzzling that the Safari Club reached out to help Kipnuk hunters displaced by the storm. But John Sturgeon, a longtime Safari Club member, says it should not be a surprise. “The Safari Club and the subsistence people are much closer together than most folks would think. We're hunters. They're hunters.” Sturgeon helped to organize the hunt. “We have the resources to help. And them eating wild game and going out after wild game is really important to them. And we just said, ‘Well, this is something we can do to help, especially at Christmas time.' So we're hoping this will make a few people happy.” What started out with five hunters snowballed. The evacuees had no clothes or gear, which they either lost in the storm or had to leave behind. Club members loaned them guns and scopes. One dug into his own pocket to outfit them for the hunt. The Safari Club bought them hunting licenses and chartered a boat from Whittier, Alaska to Montague Island, where the men took nine Sitka black-tailed deer. It's the first time Darrell John had gone hunting since an ocean surge carried his house away. “We were hunting deer on a beach, which I never ever thought I would be hunting.” “When I was gutting deer, I knew my family was going to eat something. Made me feel like I was providing for my family again.” Although John never dreamed he'd go hunting in a such in a faraway place like Prince William Sound, he suddenly felt more like his old self. When the hunters returned, they wanted to share their catch with others displaced by the storm. Suddenly plans mushroomed into a feast to feed more than 200. The Safari Club collected donations of fish and wild game, which included a seal from Kodiak Island. John's wife Lacey John knew right away what was cooking. “Seals have a strong scent. The seal that was baking. It smelled like home. I just breathed in. (laughter) ” Karson Apodaca. (Courtesy Sayetsitty Family / gofundme) A Christmas parade on the Navajo Nation was suddenly cut short this week after a suspected drunk driver struck and killed a child and injured three bystanders. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. The Kayenta Township near Monument Valley shared joy on social media ahead of its annual Christmas market and parade at the rodeo grounds. “The parade is going to start on Navajo Route 591, which is right behind Chevron, okay? It's like you're going to the flea market here if you live in Kayenta … That one's gonna start right at 5:00 p.m., so be ready.” But about 10 minutes later, that holiday cheer came to an abrupt halt after an alleged drunk driver entered the parade route and hit four people, including a child and a pregnant woman. The Navajo Police Department confirmed three-year-old Karson Apodaca died and a suspect is in custody. The Kayenta community and guests came together to honor and remember Karson Apodaca with a peaceful vigil walk, the singing of Christmas carols, and the decoration of a Christmas tree in his honor, followed by prayer circle.

In this episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash welcomes Robbie Kroger, founder and Executive Director of The Origins Foundation, for an in-depth conversation about hunting advocacy, wildlife conservation and the sustainable use model that's shaping the future of global conservation efforts.Guest Expertise: From Wetland Scientist to Conservation AdvocateRobbie Kroger brings an unconventional background to hunting advocacy. With a PhD in wetland ecology and aquatic biogeochemistry from the University of Mississippi, six years as a professor in the Wildlife Fisheries Department at Mississippi State and over 100 peer-reviewed publications, Robbie served as chief scientist for the BP oil spill restoration framework. His science-based, measured approach to communication sets The Origins Foundation apart in the hunting advocacy space.What You'll Learn: Reframing the Conservation ConversationDiscover how The Origins Foundation communicates with non-hunters (not anti-hunters) using honesty, respect and scientific reasoning rather than emotional arguments. Robbie explains why sustainable use of wildlife isn't a silver bullet but rather one of only seven critical tools in the limited conservation toolbox. Learn why value-based wildlife management - whether protecting elephant habitat in Africa or managing wolf populations in the American West - creates incentives for local communities to coexist with wildlife rather than eliminate it.Featured Conservation Projects: Global Impact Through ActionRobbie details the world's largest cheetah relocation project, having moved 17 cheetahs into 500,000 acres of Mozambique habitat buffered by 10 million acres of protected land, with three more relocations planned for 2026. Hear about upcoming documentaries including "Sauvons Bambi" (debuting June 2026 in Paris) about European hunters using thermal drones to save roe deer fawns from farm equipment and "In My Footsteps" profiling the first scholarship recipient from a South African hunting charity who became a successful architect. The Foundation is also building schools and clinics in South Africa and Zambia while working on rhino and lion conservation initiatives.Public Lands and Management Philosophy InsightsDrawing on his experience growing up under South Africa's private wildlife ownership model, Robbie contrasts it with America's revolutionary public trust doctrine where wildlife belongs to everyone. He discusses the chronic underfunding of agencies like USFS, USFWS and BLM, arguing that public-private partnerships, biodiversity credits and creative funding models could dramatically improve stewardship. The conversation explores complex topics like fair chase ethics, social media responsibility for hunters and anglers, wolf management controversies and why both sides being upset with you often means you've found the right position.Join the ConversationThe Origins Foundation actively engages with supporters across all social media platforms, typically with Robbie responding personally to messages. Whether attending major hunting shows from Wild Sheep Foundation to Safari Club International or meeting supporters for roadside coffee in Australia, the Foundation maintains an accessible, ego-free approach focused on lifting up the entire conservation community rather than self-promotion.SponsorsThanks to TroutRoutes for sponsoring this episode.

On this episode of Wild & Uncut, we're at the 2025 SCI Convention in Nashville, TN sitting down with Madison Sheahan (at the time of recording was Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries) and Maria Davison the Large Carnivore Program Manager for the SCI Foundation. We had a great discussion about an incredible conservation success story that has transpired due to the hard work of many groups and individuals, in the state of Louisiana. The season marked an end to a ban that had been in place since the late 1980s. The Louisiana bear population has rebounded thanks to conservation efforts, leading the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to re-establish a limited, lottery-based season with 11 permits issued to hunters.

 The killing of Cecil the lion by Walter Palmer in 2015 showed there are a handful of people who occasionally kill an animal for kicks, right?Wrong!20,000 endangered animals were shot by trophy hunters last year. The total figure is closer to 100,000 animals if you include unprotected species. And this number does not count animals shot by people in their own country.Safari Club International (SCI) is the world's largest trophy hunting group. In the past few years, it has handed out 20,000 prizes to members who have shot lots of animals. They include hundreds of winners of its Hunting Achievement Award who each killed over 125 different animals.SCI keeps a Record Book of the biggest animals killed by its members. There are 200,000 entries. You can buy hunting holidays on the internet to shoot any animal on the planet. If you fancy ‘big game' hunting in Africa, there are lions, elephants, rhinos, and hippos. If you prefer ‘plains game,' then you can choose a giraffe, zebra, leopard or even a cheetah.If North America is where you would like to go, you can shoot polar bears and moose. Or pumas and capybara in South America. Some people enjoy flying ‘down under.' Why not shoot camels and wallabies while you are there? The US has ranches where you can shoot zebras, kangaroos, and animals that have been hunted to extinction in the wild. There are beavers, reindeer, and seals for sale in Europe. Asian wild goats and sheep. If you go to Texas, you can even shoot wild pigs from a helicopter ... using a machine gun. Some go with their loved ones. There are father and son breaks, mother and daughter shooting trips. Fancy using a bow and arrow? There are bowhunting-only estates. And companies that specialize in shooting animals with revolvers. Many hunting companies advertise on the internet. Try googling ‘polar bear outfitter.' Or ‘lion hunting safari.' Or just ‘sheep hunting.'There are thousands of hunting holiday companies in the world today. They sell hunting package holidays for almost any species.
