    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    If they can't stand the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen. That old line of "don't divide hunters" is the lamest bullshit excuse for people to hide behind. I take these comments, assess them in the context of what we do and what we hope to accomplish, and then use that process to try craft...

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    It would be unethical to harvest meat that goes to waste, for sure. Last year I had an elk, some grouse, and that was it. This year I have a pronghorn, a moose, and a mountain goat. In both years, I could have shot an elk and a deer. But, we hunt the hell out of them in Montana and in neither...

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    Good discussion here. I’m glad Matt is willing to say these things. There’s a lot of value in what he is saying and even more value in forcing those of us with platforms to think about all of this. I think the fact that he’s Steve’s brother gives his message even more power. When Matt did his...

    Arizona Game and Fish - Pays Influencers - Newberg cancels contract after backlash

    Andrew, this July I answered all of the questions you asked on my forum. Some were answered when I was on the road and the rest when I got home. You never mentioned anything about a petition. I told you how the contract worked, what we were hired to do, the scope of work, the process of using...

    Arizona Game and Fish - Pays Influencers - Newberg cancels contract after backlash

    Funny stuff right there. As if the petition had anything to do with it. The petition had nothing to do with it. I had notified AZ G&F of my intent to withdraw from the last year of the contract months before the petition came out. When the 2021 regulations came out with the changes to OTC...

    AZ game and fish paying influencers

    The contract was awarded to us, with the expectation that we deliver "X" number of impressions across identified media properties. We worked with the ad agency and AZ G&F to rotate those media properties based on the geo-demographics of that platforms audience, which was usually driven by the...

    AZ game and fish paying influencers

    Randy Newberg here. Happy to answer any questions. I've already answered most of them over on my Hunt Talk forum a couple months ago. Here's how it works with contracts issued by state agencies. State wildlife and tourism departments hire ad agencies to develop their marketing and public...

    Fresh Tracks+

    I want to thank Ryan and Robbie for letting us be sponsors of Rokslide for the last four years. The audience here is a good sounding board for us to gather information about what hunters are thinking and how they consume content. Today we launched a new platform we have been working on for...

    MT - SB143 Opposition to Special Guide Licenses - Trying to make this easy...

    This bill is going to Finance & Claims where a lot of bills with budget ramifications die. This bill and the amended $300 early app fee that is earmarked for access has a very good chance of dying in that Senate F&C committee. Keep pressure on it.

    If You're Wanting to Come Hunt in Montana.....

    I guess that question should have been asked 25+ years ago. Did you weigh in on it when it was passed back then? This bill does have $300 per December applicant that goes to Habitat Montana, a program to create permanent access. So, it does have money for access. The bill still has a hearing...

    If You're Wanting to Come Hunt in Montana.....

    My understanding is that your preference points are applicable for both the December draw ($300 premium) and the April draw. They don't get thrown out the window.

    If You're Wanting to Come Hunt in Montana.....

    The legislation that established those landowner sponsored deer only B-11 tags is over 25 years old. That was not anything that has changed. They have always had that 2,000 deer tags. That horse left the barn in the 1990s.

    If You're Wanting to Come Hunt in Montana.....

    That is the core problem with bills like this. No input from hunters. Pit one group against the other, then claim we must quit fighting and stand together. A terrible outcome, no matter what happens. I can't tell you how much pressure all of you have helped bring to this issue. Not just...

    If You're Wanting to Come Hunt in Montana.....

    If you are a self-guided non-resident who applies in Montana, this podcast might be of interest to you. I reached out to some outfitters to see if a MOGA representative wanted to be on my podcast to talk about SB 143. Mac Minard, the ED of MOGA, found a window of time to share a mic. I asked...

    SB 143 MT Scenario - does anyone know?

    Most all residents are against this bill, exception being the few who benefit from this subsidy bill. Residents are applying pressure to this bill; more than any bill on any topic in the Legislature. Yet, we have members of that Senate Committee say, "I got 7,000 emails last week that were...

    If You're Wanting to Come Hunt in Montana.....

    Here is the list of Senators who will vote on the bill in the next day or two. -----> If you are a non-residents, emphasize how much money you spend in Montana on hunts, scouting trips, etc. -----> If you are a resident, focus on the fact that this overturns a ballot initiative that did...

    My Poorly Filmed Wolf Encounter

    Last year I shot a wolf while out looking mostly to fill a whitetail doe tag. As luck would have it, I didn't have a camera operator with me. So, I just turned on my cell phone and recorded some of my blabbering while it was happening. The footage has been on my phone for a year. Before...
