Season 2, Ep. 5 - “How Hunting Fuels the Outdoors"
Protecting the environment in America has been more challenging over the years, partially due to hunters. Why? Because there aren't ENOUGH of them. The majority of conservation funding comes from hunting-related activities. But since the amount of hunters declines every year, how will we continue to pay to protect our land?
Special guests include Steven Rinella, Ryan Callaghan (both from Netflix's "MeatEater"), and Tyler Sharp (CEO of Modern Huntsman).
