    Episode 239: The Canvas of Conservation with Vickie McMillan-Hayes
    2025/10/13
    In this episode of "Hunting Matters," we are joined by Vickie McMillan-Hayes, an acclaimed Wildlife Conservation Artist. A proud native Texan , Vickie channels her profound connection to nature into breathtaking wildlife, landscape, and iconic images of the rugged cowboy/girl amidst picturesque wild terrain.

    Vickie's art is driven by a desire to evoke a sense of awe and raise awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation by painting animals from around the world. We delve into her unique experience of living and studying animals in their natural African habitat for five summers , and how that fieldwork shaped her perspective. A truly inspiring part of our conversation focuses on how Vickie has overcome the challenge of Essential Tremors, a disability she has faced since age 16. She describes the incredible discipline required to achieve her desired stroke, which involves holding her breath while bracing her painting hand. We also discuss her success in the art world, including having her award-winning paintings featured in prestigious art museums and galleries , and what it was like to have her work selected for the U.S. Department of State’s Art in Embassies program.

    Tune in to hear how Vickie sees the role of art in conservation and the legacy she hopes to leave.

    Episode 237: Global Adventures and Bringing Back the Wild with Mike Arnold
    2025/10/01
    In this episode of "Hunting Matters," we sit down with Mike Arnold, a lifelong hunter and a Distinguished Research Professor and Head of the Department of Genetics at the University of Georgia. Mike brings a powerful scientific perspective to the world of hunting and conservation.

    From his earliest hunts for quail and rabbits in his childhood to pursuing kudu and leopard in Africa and brocket deer in Mexico, Mike shares how the hunter’s horn sounded for him at age five and never stopped. We discuss the unique dynamic of sharing these adventures with his wife and videographer, Frances, a non-hunter herself.

    Mike, who has published more than 220 articles and delivered two TEDx talks on conservation through trophy hunting, dives into his acclaimed books: BRINGING BACK THE LIONS and his newest release, BRINGING BACK THE WILD – Stories from Revitalized Ecosystems Around the World (2025). We explore what people most misunderstand about the hunter’s pivotal role in conservation, how local communities benefit, and the direct link between conservation biology and responsible hunting.

    Tune in to hear how Mike balances his life as a scientist and an outdoor writer, stories from his recent safari in Mozambique, and what he’s most looking forward to on his upcoming trip to the Scottish Highlands.
