This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast we get the chance to talk with Nicole Qualtieri. The conversation is about an article titled 'The Hunter Decline Myth' written by Nicole Qualtieri. The article challenges the fear-based marketing around the decline of hunters and highlights the importance of engaging non-hunters in conservation efforts. It discusses the per capita hunting numbers and the need to educate people about habitat and public lands. The article aims to spark conversations between hunters and non-hunters and promote a better understanding of the hunting community. Hunters are not declining, but hunting is a privilege that can be changed by legislators. It is important to advocate for hunting and share the experiences with others. The number of hunters may not be decreasing, but the availability of hunting opportunities and habitat are concerns. Success in hunting can be defined as either killing an animal or having a positive experience. An open invitation and inclusive vision of hunting can attract new and reactivated hunters.

Bill talks about his year round feeding program, but also how he does not hunt his feeders in an effort to create a safe space for deer to go to and meet their nutritional needs. John and Bill talk about how to hunt feeders just like a natural food source, and how bedding and does play just as big of a roll in a big bucks life as food does.
