©️ Hunt Quietly 2022
Description
The future of hunting is imperiled. More and more hunters are competing for limited numbers of licenses. Public land hunting is overcrowded, and private land hunting is increasingly unavailable to those unable or unwilling to pay for it. These are the dominant problems facing hunters today, and nobody in the hunting industry and hunting entertainment is talking about them. That is because they cause and even benefit from these problems, as do some hunting nonprofits. Join Matt Rinella and his guests as they rethink the future of hunting and implement steps to save our cherished pastime. Visit huntquietly.org to learn more.

I don't see how Aaron's numbers are adding up. I get usually between 250 and 300 lbs of meat back from one bull elk. If he eats 400 lbs a year there still isn't a way to justify what he said about typically just being in it for the meat if he shoots 35 animals a year.
