    There is no lack of threats around the globe to the hunting way of life, and Ben Cassidy gives a great overview of the hotspots in this podcast. It's good to know SCI is on top of these issues. Glad to see the podcast is back, and I am looking forward to the next one!

  • Tag Soup gets what’s important about the outdoors

    SCI supporting the outdoor sporting life gets that it’s not about taking animals but appreciating nature, being a good conservationist and sharing stories with friends and strangers. Even if you come back empty handed and will be eating “tag soup” for dinner, the enjoyment is being a part of the outdoors. Congratulations to SCI for bringing these stories and news to a fresh podcast. Looking forward to the next episode.
