Hunt Quietly

About Hunt Quietly

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.

   Episode 202. Dark money

   Matt talks with Beca Holmquist, who makes the case that increasing transparency in campaign contributions can strengthen access, conservation, and hunting opportunities. If her argument resonates with you as it did with Matt, consider voting Yes on Montana’s Initiative I‑194, and stay alert for similar measures emerging in other states. As always, this podcast remains neutral regarding party politics. Our focus is solely on how public issues influence high‑quality, publicly accessible, non‑pay hunting for hides, horns, meat, and personal satisfaction.
