This episode of the Modern Carnivore Podcast was recorded at the 2025 Backcountry Hunters & Anglers North Country Ice Breaker. The event provided an opportunity to capture insights from three experienced outdoorsmen on the topic of fair chase. Specifically, we focused on forward facing sonar technology and how it is changing the fishing experience (and potentially catch rates). Publications like Outdoor News have been reporting on this topic for years. Some state agencies have started to address the topic directly, but many are holding tight and waiting to see where things go. Let us know if you have thoughts on how this technology can be best used, and what restrictions (if any) should be put on it.

Guests on today’s podcast include:

Mike Hehner from Linder Media Productions

Greg Kvale – Board Member of Minnesota Backcountry Hunters & Anglers

David Lien is a co-founder of the Minnesota Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers
