"Shut up and show up," says Ich Stewart in explaining his old school approach to taking ownership in Arkansas' fabled public land hunting resource. Starting way back in the days his mentors lived off the land but were thankful, we then race headlong through pitch black woods, our light beam bouncing on hot topics---unruly crowds, unprecedented disturbances, embarrassing fist fights, kill culture versus "owning the ducks", finding quietness in the madness, modern versus old school ethos, mentorship---finally arriving to an emerging grassroots movement called The Public Timber Project (@thepublictimberproject) that's taking personal ownership---a sorta skin-in-the-game vested interest---in Arkansas public lands. Don't like where Arkansas public land duck hunting is today? Do something. Take ownership. Listen to this episode for inspiration.
