Field Notes With Rashad Podcast

In this episode of Field Notes with Rashad, we sit down with members of the Missouri Bear Foundation to talk all things black bears in the Ozarks. From the origins of the Missouri chapter to the future of bear conservation in the state, this conversation dives deep into what it really means to be “pro-bear.” We cover the rapid growth of Missouri’s black bear population, the impact of regulated hunting on human-wildlife conflict, and why education and awareness are at the center of it all. Levi Eubanks and Roger Cole share their firsthand experiences—from building the foundation from the ground up to boots-on-the-ground bear scouting across the Mark Twain National Forest. Levi also breaks down his unforgettable Missouri bear hunt, including the grind, the strategy, and the moment it all came together. 🔗 Follow & Support   👉 Follow Rashad: https://www.instagram.com/rashrolli/ https://www.instagram.com/fieldnotesrashad/   👉 Check out American Bear Foundation: ‪‪ https://americanbearfoundation.org/page/missouri

In this episode of Field Notes with Rashad, I sit down with a seasoned outfitter, guide, and entrepreneur whose story is as real as it gets. From humble beginnings guiding on public land to building a full-scale outfitting operation across multiple states, we dive into what it actually takes to make a life in the hunting industry. This is a conversation about grit, faith, risk, and betting on yourself when there’s no backup plan. We also get into the changing landscape of hunting—nonresident pressure, tag systems, public vs private land, and how social media has shifted the culture. Along the way, we talk about what hunting is really supposed to be about: the experience, the people, and the stories—not just the numbers. There are some powerful moments in this one—lessons on persistence, staying grounded in your purpose, and trusting the process even when things aren’t certain. 🔗 Follow & Support 👉 Follow Rashad: https://www.instagram.com/rashrolli/ https://www.instagram.com/fieldnotesrashad/ 👉 Check out Pro Outfitters: ‪‪https://www.instagram.com/huntprooutfitters/ https://huntprooutfitters.com/
