Hunt Quietly
The future of hunting is imperiled. More and more hunters are competing for limited numbers of licenses. Public land hunting is overcrowded, and private land hunting is increasingly unavailable to those unable or unwilling to pay for it. These are the dominant problems facing hunters today, and nobody in the hunting industry and hunting entertainment is talking about them. That is because they cause and even benefit from these problems, as do some hunting nonprofits. Join Matt Rinella and his guests as they rethink the future of hunting and implement steps to save our cherished pastime. Visit huntquietly.org to learn more.

Hunting entertainment is generally dishonest. Game is routinely wounded on camera, but that footage almost never makes the final cut. Important details are routinely omitted, including the eye-popping sums spent on access, and who looses access as a result. In this episode, John and Matt Rinella make the case that hunting luminaries Lee and Tiffany Lakosky, like so many others, peddle in half-truths and destroy hunting access.
