State of Change: The Wild, the People, and the Politics with Mia Anstine

In this episode, we sit down with renowned outdoorswoman and conservation advocate Mia Anstine — host of Mac Outdoors soon to be Mia’s Wild Range Report — to talk about the crossroads where tradition, nature, and policy collide. From hunting ethics and trophy respect to the shifting political landscape around Second Amendment rights in Colorado, Mia shares her seasoned perspective on what it means to be a responsible hunter in today’s rapidly changing world. We dive into the tragedy of the commons, the growing strain on outdoor spaces, and how an influx of new residents is reshaping states like Colorado. We even get into her recent javelina hunt near the Mexican border, how to protect your taxidermy from cloth moths, and what it really means when someone calls an animal a “trophy.” This one’s packed with insight, stories, and strong opinions — don’t miss it
