In this episode of the Eastmans Journal Podcast, host Ike Eastman sits down with Jason Wilson, a Georgia outdoorsman, entrepreneur, and the founder of the Vote 4 America campaign. Their conversation ranges from the power of grassroots voices in elections to the unique challenges facing hunters, landowners, and wildlife managers across the country.

Jason shares how his apolitical campaign used social media personalities to encourage Americans—especially hunters and outdoorsmen—to get to the polls, and why that strategy resonated more than traditional political ads. He also opens up about his life in Georgia, managing timber, prescribed burning, and the relentless fight against feral hogs, while offering candid insights on how government mismanagement shapes wildlife and land use policies.

To bring it full circle, Jason leaves listeners with a practical archery shooting tip—a daily habit that can make or break success in the field.

This episode blends politics, conservation, hunting culture, and hard-earned wisdom from the outdoors into one thought-provoking conversation you won't want to miss.
