Ep. 10 - Trophy Hunting? w/ Saltlick Worldwide

“I interview people with "misunderstood" lifestyles so we can educate people on the truth.” In this episode of the Horrible People Podcast, I sit down with Shaun and Oscar from Saltlick Worldwide about their journey from outfitters to social media educators and podcast producers in the hunting community. They discuss the misconceptions surrounding trophy hunting, the ethical considerations of hunting practices, and the importance of conservation efforts funded by hunting.

The conversation also touches on the significance of educating the public about hunting and wildlife management. This conversation delves into the complexities of hunting, particularly in Africa, discussing the strict quotas that govern safari hunting and the significant economic impact hunting has on local communities.

We address common misconceptions about trophy hunting, emphasizing the ethical considerations and conservation efforts that hunters contribute to. They also highlight the importance of the Pittman-Robertson Act in funding wildlife conservation and the role of hunters as stewards of the land. 

We explore the impact of legislation, public perception, and misinformation on hunting and firearm ownership. The discussion highlights the importance of education, personal responsibility, and the need for unity among hunters to combat negative stereotypes and promote responsible hunting practices.
