Public land hunting is overcrowded, and private land hunting is increasingly unavailable to those unable or unwilling to pay for it.

  • Great stuff from a great guy

    Pretty telling that every negative comment is politically charged drivel by someone who appears to be borderline illiterate. Good sign that Matt is doing the right thing, and pissing off the right people.

  • sitka,kuiu and first light not worth it for what it gave birth to.

    Matt, you are someone who has an unpopular view in the media. The media is very compromised as you know. you have way more supporters if your message can be spread in the right light i think you would be shocked. i live in Salmon idaho, and we hear you.

  • Important

    Thank you for pointing out the important issue of R3.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 185. Emory Wanger
Q: What are your thoughts on the role of different groups at the table when decisions about wildlife and hunting happen?
There's a need for diverse voices beyond just hunters—birders, conservationists, and local communities should have seats at the table. The focus should be on system-wide conservation outcomes rather than the prerogative of a single group.
Episode 185. Emory Wanger
Q: You had an orientation to hunting, and it changed; can you tell us how that shift happened and what you learned from it?
I started with a romantic view of hunting, met people in hunting entertainment, but saw how sponsorship and branding could shape experiences. Over time I recalibrated my relationship to hunting, aiming for authenticity and personal growth rather than chasing status or brand alignment.
Episode 165. Turkeys for Tomorrow
Q: How did you end up working for a turkey conservation non-profit?
I was concerned about wild turkey decline and felt a strong need to take action alongside others who shared the same concern.
Episode 104. What’s Going On WIth Ammo Prices
Q: So, one caliber, you had to pick one caliber for the rest of your life?
I'd say 300, I just like, it's flat shooting and it's easily available.
Episode 114. Hunter Safety and Whatnot
Q: What do you teach about ethics in your course?
I bring in real-world examples, discussing what the consequences of unethical hunting practices are.
