Episode description

Why is it that we hunt? And how does it interface with Conservation? 

Today we welcome Joel Strimling, board member of Oregon Backcountry Hunters and Anglers (BHA).

Joel spent his childhood outdoors but adopted a hunting lifestyle as an adult - experiencing initial trepidation grow into a fulfilling passion. 

We dive into the challenges of Joel's transition into a huge advocate of the hunting lifestyle and the conservation of natural spaces - and touch on encountering death, the complex ethics of hunting and the work of BHA along the way.
