This week on the HCDU Podcast Rob Herbert sits sit down with Barry Howlett, Executive Officer of the Australian Deer Association , and discuss some of the difficult positions that the ADA finds itself in as the conduit between hunting groups, individuals and tedious government policy and legislation.
We discuss membership numbers, growth and what increased membership could possibly mean to the ADA at a national level.
Barry highlights the many and varied hats he is required to wear during his work hours and how his life with family is a highlight of many a tiring day.
Rob discovers the complexities of his position and personally see the challenges set by a robust and large group of hunters ( 40 odd thousand in Victoria alone ) while having to brief ministers on upcoming issues.
From a personal note the thing Rob took away from the interview with Barry is the small amount of membership numbers (6000 odd nationally) but Barry answers to close to 100000 hunters nationally on social media, public outcry and groups that don’t even focus their hunting on Deer. Please enjoy and challenge yourself as a hunter afterwards as what could you do to improve hunting in Australia as a world wide leader.
