If you’re a Vancouver @Canucks fan, hunting enth If you’re a Vancouver @Canucks fan, hunting enthusiast, or a passionate fisherperson you’ll enjoy this episode. I’m joined by Brendan Morrison, 15-year veteran and star of the National Hockey League. Brendan is a local legend from his years centring the West Coast Express line flanked by Todd Bertuzzi and Markus  Näslund that generated some of the most exciting moments in Canuck history. 

I invited Brendan on the podcast to talk about his journey to become an adult-onset hunter.  We get into a few great hunting stories and valuable lessons learned.  We chat about the barriers and opportunities for how to get into fishing and hunting.  Brendan shares his passion for scoring goals, catching fish and hunting critters on this episode. 

Brendan Morrison has always been a passionate fisherman which has led him to produce and host the Reel West Coast fishing show in his retirement.  Fishing led Brendan to discover hunting after his hockey career. 

This one was lots of fun.

EatWild 48 - Smartphone Navigation & the iHunter A EatWild 48 - Smartphone Navigation & the iHunter App with Mark Stenroos

The iHunter App is an essential tool for the new Hunter. Apps like the iHunter tool have changed how I approach hunting entirely. E-scouting, orienteering, checking regulations, and recording where and how I hunted an area have all been improved with the innovations of the app world. The Hunter App brings together multiple essential app tools to make hunters more effective, safe and help hunters stay on the right side of private property boundaries and regulations.
 
In this episode, I'm joined by Mark Stenroos, iHunter App developer, and my hunting partner Jenny P.  Mark breaks down the functionality of the app and the benefits of the tool.  Jenny and I share how we have adopted the app into how we hunt. Along the way, we chat about getting lost and found and our favourite hunts.

Join us on Tuesday night for the EatWild Deer Stil Join us on Tuesday night for the EatWild Deer Still Hunting Techniques Webinar. 

Deer Still Hunting
Still hunting is a fundamental technique to being a successful deer hunter.  It is also an essential tool for most other hunting pursuits.  My hunting mentors taught me how to still hunt whitetail deer in the timber when I was a kid.  Still hunting is the act of slowly, carefully, and quietly sneaking through the timber and seeing game before it reacts to you.  I got really good at it as a kid and I have been able to get up whitetail deer and other critters for success ever since.  Mastering the art of still hunting will make you a better hunter.  In this webinar, I will share my philosophy, technique, and stories of success and failures in still hunting.

•This webinar will cover:

•Picking the right terrain and timber for still hunting
•Learning how to sneak up an animal in the timber
•When to still hunt and when to cover ground
•Camouflage and cover techniques
•Animal response to seeing or hearing you
•Making the shot in timber
•Responding to weather – still hunting in snow, rain, wind and drought
•Discussion on spot-and-stock vs. still hunting – what’s more productive?

Getting a bit of practice with “field conditions Getting a bit of practice with “field conditions”. I would always encourage new hunters to invest lots of time at the range to practice and replicate good shooting habits. At the range you have the benefit of the stability of the bench and set distances. Maintaining consistence shooting conditions allows you to track your progression as you become more accurate. At the range I should shoot 1.5” group at 100 yards. However, in the field everything changes. Wind, angle, and inconsistent shooting positions will dramatically reduce my accuracy. Today we were both able to shoot 4” groups at 200 yards from a prone position. Definitely a good day for us and helps build confidence  that I can take an ethical shot in the field.  #shootstraight #eatwild #learntohunt @reliablegun
Are we losing our social license to hunt? •So Are we losing our social license to hunt? 
 
•Social license refers to the perceptions of the public that deem an activity as socially acceptable. The concept of an activity requiring a "social license" emerged in the 1990's as the natural resource industry realized they needed to build public and stakeholder support for resource extraction projects to be successful. 
 
•A recent article published by Chris Darimont in the Society of Conservation Biology Journal applied the concept of social license to hunting. The study suggests that the public perception towards carnivore hunting can pose threats to the social license for carnivore hunters and potentially other hunters.
 
•The article kicked off a storm of discussion and reaction within the hunting community. There has been a call to action across social media platforms encouraging hunters to take action to "defend" hunting rights. What are we defending, what's the battle, who are we fighting, who started it, what's at risk.... are we just fighting ourselves?
 
•I have a lot of questions and I am confused, so let's have a discussion.
 
•I have invited Jenny Ly with @chasingfoodclub and volunteers with @backcountryhuntersbc and Jesse Zeman, @bcwildlifefederation Director for Fish and Wildlife Restoration on to the podcast to try and understand what's happening in our community. We talk about our interpretation of social licence and how, as a hunting community, we can build our social licence.
 
•We are living in an era where images and storytelling inform public perception.
 
•What is the impact of the images we share? Can we do a better job of telling our stories?
 
•Please share this podcast.

About EatWild

We are a young, Vancouver-based company, so we understand the negative stereotypes which have long been paired with hunting. Over-sized pickup trucks? Road signs with bullet holes? Hick shooting jokes? We’ve heard them all. EatWild wants to be part of something new...
