“I didn’t have direct affinity for or against hunting, but if I had to choose, I was probably against it.”- Brad Neathery, CEO of Modern HuntsmanSometimes it seems Lincoln Tapp might have been right when he says social media is doing more harm for hunting than good.This weekend, animal rights activists coordinated a blitzkrieg against several well known hunters via multiple major platforms. While these animals were harvested legally and ethically, it didn’t matter.Some hunters made some great points in corresponding with this anti-hunters, but a few bad apples ruin the bunch. In this case, the whole bunch was already spoiled.It’s shameful how some people responded to the criticism. Telling people to F off and suck it. It’s moronic.And it’s essentially proving Lincoln right.GoWild has grown to be more than I ever initially conceived that first day. But it started with these same conversations. I was hiking down a mountainside after checking some trail cameras, when the absurdity of all of this polarity hit me.That same lightning strike hit Brad Neathery a few years ago, too. But it’s taken him an entirely different direction.Brad, and his business partner, Tyler, join us today to talk about their project, Modern Huntsman. While I went the digital route for my solution to the misunderstanding, they went old school. They founded a print publication to help people better understand what hunting is.That’s a really damn important conversation.We have a fun opportunity to get your hands on signed copies of Volume 2 of Modern Huntsman at the end of this podcast. This is a beautiful book you’ll be proud to leave on your coffee table as a conversation piece about why you hunt.Restless Native is Sponsored by Houston Safari Club FoundationIt’s time to book your trip to Texas for Houston Safari Club Foundation’s convention.
