EatWild 86 - The Ethics of Content Creation - Nolan Osborne

In this episode, I am joined by hunting guide and conservationist Nolan Osborne. Nolan and I were due for a catch-up as we look ahead to the bear hunting season and the upcoming Wild Sheep Foundation Solute to Conservation and Mountain Huntain Expo.  Over the years, Nolan and I have had deep conversations on the ethics associated with hunting. Last week, a notable Canadian hunting content creator was found guilty of several poaching charges in B.C. and Alberta.  This disappointing news made some big waves in our hunting community and raised questions about the ethics of content creation in the hunting space.  In the episode, we discuss the responsibility and accountability of being legal and ethical hunters and the complexities and pressures of creating content that relies on successful hunts. 

I'll be presenting at the Mountain Hunting Expo at 2 pm on Friday, so stop by and learn about meat care in the mountains. Find out more about the Wild Sheep Society Event.
