Hunting Is for You, Too (Pt. Two)

I think all of those points are really key because all these barriers that exist, the financial barriers to even access to land, those are things that have been intentionally put in place so that we can't partake and be a part of this activity.

And even the thought about not wanting to be seen as violent or have a negative interaction with either a regular police officer or even maybe a game warden.

And so I think it's really important for us to understand this has always been something that we've done, and it's time for us to get back into it if it is something that we are interested in.

Um, I know that we've been talking a lot about the importance of community and mentorship in this space and just being able to do that with people who look like you, who talk like you, who have similar backgrounds and experiences as you.

And then also talking about the importance of being able to kinda try a little bit of everything versus that lack of access.

That could potentially be a barrier.

And so based on your experience, what do you think some of the present-day barriers to participating in hunting may be?
