Global hunting adventures are closer and more attainable than most outdoorsmen realize. Broadcasting from the floor of the Dallas Safari Club convention in Atlanta, this conversation dives deep into what it means to protect hunting rights while expanding opportunity for everyday sportsmen. Country artist and host of Hoge Wild, Lucas Hoge shares hard-earned perspective from hunting across New Zealand, South Africa, Alaska, and beyond. From possum population mismanagement overseas to the domino effects of government overreach, the discussion highlights why regulated hunting and fishing remain essential tools for wildlife conservation and rural livelihoods. Listeners will gain insight into how international hunts can be more affordable than expected, how relationships built at conventions like DSC turn into elk hunts, African safaris, and backcountry adventures, and why mentorship and advocacy matter now more than ever. The conversation also explores the responsibility of outdoor media, the importance of supporting outfitters with integrity, and how hunting shows can shine a light on accessible global hunting opportunities without compromising conservation values. If you care about protecting outdoor traditions, expanding access to big game hunting, and keeping the next generation engaged in fishing and the outdoors, this one hits home.
