Marcia Brownlee is the new program manager for the National Wildlife Federation’s Artemis Sportswomen program. On this episode, we discuss her affliction of adult onset hunting, the meaning of “sportsman,” why a program like Artemis is necessary for conservation, what dudes can do to make women feel more welcome in the hunting, fishing and conservation community, the shots we don’t take, authentic reactions to a kill, how Marcia’s hunting journey tracked the timeline of a challenging personal time in her life, planning an antelope hunt, hunting your own hunt, what dudes can learn from Artemis, Marcia’s epic bear hunt, what “mansplaining” means, a Greek Goddess, the privilege of hunting, and the voice that Artemis will bring to the national conservation dialogue.
