Ep. 264 The Whitetail Industrial Complex with Doug Duren

Deer hunting is the most common thread in the fabric of American hunting culture, and once you've had a good taste of it, it's easy to see why that is. But just as all other enjoyable pursuits have become commercialized so has deer hunting. So much so that sometimes it's simplest components that make it such a great part of the human experience are lost within the market driven perspectives, products, and trends. My good friend Doug Duren joined me to discuss this reality, and provide his insight on the issue.   Topics Include -Historical view of Deer Hunting -CWD -Behind the scenes information from Meateater -Sharing The Land -Hunting Access  -Conservation   Follow Doug: @dougduren Sign Up For Sharing The Land   Check out the First Gen Hunter Website Follow First Gen Hunter Instagram: @first.gen.hunter Facebook: @first.gen.hunter Follow The Hunt Fish Life: @hntfsh_life Follow Alex: @east2westhunts_alex  Follow East2West Hunts: @east2westhunts Follow Caleb: @calebleedrake    Support First Gen Hunter by shopping at the following partners:   East2West Hunts Use promo code: firstgen10 = 10% off any purchase Old Barn Taxidermy Tell Them The First Gen Hunter Podcast Sent You!
