From mountain goats to freezer meals, Jana Waller-Bair reveals how hunting shapes stronger, more resilient lives. Kenia Link sits down with legendary hunter, conservation advocate, and Skullbound founder Jana Waller-Bair for a wide-ranging, honest conversation about what hunting truly represents far beyond pulling a trigger. Jana shares hard-earned lessons from decades in the field, from Western elk hunting and mountain goat pursuits to whitetail camps in the Midwest. Together, they unpack how hunting builds confidence, self-reliance, and a deeper connection to food sourcing especially in a world increasingly disconnected from where meat comes from. The conversation dives into ethical hunting, wildlife management, and why hunters and anglers remain the backbone of conservation funding across North America. Listeners will hear powerful insights on mentorship and the growing impact of women in hunting, including Jana’s firsthand experience with the Wild Sheep Foundation’s Women Hunt program. These programs don’t just teach firearm safety and shooting fundamentals they create lifelong outdoorsmen and women who understand land stewardship, field processing, and the responsibility that comes with harvesting wild game. The episode also explores gear evolution, mental toughness, and how pushing past fear whether in freezing tree stands or on sheer mountain faces translates into real-world resilience. From waterfowl hunting to big game strategies, this is an insider conversation rooted in respect for wildlife, community, and the freedom found outdoors.
