Quail Hunting with Durrell Smith: minority representation outdoors and the meaning of life - we cover some stuff! (Season 1: Episode 9)

This past weekend, I met up with Durrell Smith who is a passionate bird dog hunter and founder of an organization called Minority Outdoor Alliance. Durrell was kind enough to take me on my very first hunt period. But specifically, we went wild quail hunting. I wanted to get a taste of that experience and I also wanted to interview Durrell for an article I’m writing. I apologize for the quality of the audio but I thought it was important to capture this conversation in the moment. We had just finished taking two of his dogs out in search of some quail … we came up empty at that point. But we were taking a quick break before and he his fellow hunter went back at it again. You’ll hear some wind and some of the noises from the dogs and for some reason, I sound like I’m very far away, but please stay with it! We had a great conversation about conservation, perceptions about minorities and firearms and outdoor recreation, the value of life and the meaning of death. Yeah, we covered a lot. I think you’ll get a lot out of it… I know I did! You can learn more about Minority Outdoor Alliance at their website! Please check them out and follow them on social media. Thanks so much for listening! If you like what you hear, please share it. Leave a review! If you don't like what you hear, please just go on about your day! :)
