Non-hunters, anti-hunters and species-preservationists... can the communities who value hunting as a tool and resource for successful wildlife management rely on any of these groups for support and alignment? I believe that absolutely, 100%, the hunting community MUST gain do better to communicate with our non-hunting friends, neighbors, coworkers and family.  We will never ”recruit, retain, reactivate” our way to a majority position in states like WA, CA, OR and maybe even AZ.  The anti-hunting orgs do massive fundraising from West/East coast metropolitan areas, because the population there is disconnected from hunters and wildlife mgmt issues.  We must take over the arena of ideas, dialogue and leadership in wildlife mgmt and hunting - and that means sharing our realness, personalizing and normalizing hunting in the minds of non-hunters. I believe this conversation with a non-hunter is interesting to you, and opens the door to more of your stories being shared broadly, even where you’re not sure they’ll be supported. https://huntingainteasy.podbean.com/ instagram.com/huntingainteasy instagram.com/howl_orgwww.howlforwildlife.org
