    Episode 268: Mentoring Youth and Healing Through the Outdoors with Micah Seavers
    2026/08/31
    In this episode of Hunting Matters, host Joe Beta speaks with Micah Seavers, President of Walking Humbly Outdoor Adventures. Micah shares how his upbringing as a preacher's kid and the guidance of early mentors led him to build a nonprofit dedicated to introducing young people to outdoor traditions.

    Key Topics Covered:
    • Mentorship & Youth Engagement: Why absent mentors—not technology—are the main barrier keeping kids indoors, and how a single positive outdoor experience can make a lasting impact.
    • The Rules of Firsts: Teaching ethical conservation, self-sufficiency, and resourcefulness through trapping, metal detecting, survival skills, and wild game processing.
    • The Heroes Hunt & Community Outreach: Providing all-expenses-paid trips for children of fallen and wounded military members, police officers, and firefighters, alongside programs supporting local families.
    • Bridging Perspectives: Embracing open dialogue with non-outdoorsmen and opposing groups to foster true stewardship and understanding

  • Episode 267: Ranching Legacy, Youth Conservation, and South Texas Stewardship with Leo & Madison Martinez

    Episode 267: Ranching Legacy, Youth Conservation, and South Texas Stewardship with Leo & Madison Martinez
    2026/08/24
    In this episode of "Hunting Matters", we are joined by Leo Martinez, Ranch Manager of the Dancing Elk Alexander (DEA) Ranch in Mathis, Texas, Vice President on the HSCF Board of Directors, and the 2025 HSCF Outfitter of the Year, along with his daughter, Madison Martinez. We dive into Leo's nearly four-decade career in ranching and hunting, exploring how family legacy, Texas history, and a deep commitment to stewardship shape their family-run operation in South Texas. The discussion details Leo’s multi-generational roots in the industry—inspired by his grandfather’s life as a cowboy and ranch foreman—and how he carries those foundational values forward today. Leo and Madison share what it takes to manage the daily balance of native wildlife, exotic game, cattle production, and hosting hunting guests on a working South Texas ranch. We explore the unique allure of South Texas hunting, the intricacies of humane wildlife and habitat management, and how Madison’s perspective as the next generation is helping shape the ranch's future. Finally, we explore the essential connection between ethical hunting, conservation, and youth education, highlighting DEA Ranch’s hosting of HSCF’s first annual Summer Youth Conservation Education Program. Leo and Madison share powerful insights on passing down land stewardship to the next generation, the honor of receiving the 2025 Outfitter of the Year award, and why hands-on outdoor experiences are critical to protecting wildlife, rural communities, and hunting heritage for decades to come.

  • Episode 266: Global Waterfowl Conservation: From Texas Pintails to New Zealand Game Birds with Matt Garrick

    Episode 266: Global Waterfowl Conservation: From Texas Pintails to New Zealand Game Birds with Matt Garrick
    2026/08/11
    In this episode of "Hunting Matters," we are joined by Matt Garrick, Senior Field Officer at Fish & Game New Zealand and a former HSCF-Dan L Duncan Scholarship recipient. We dive into Matt's impressive international career in wildlife biology and waterfowl management, following his journey from a small farm in New Zealand to top research and state biologist positions across North America, and back home again to lead game bird conservation.

    The discussion details Matt’s extensive educational and professional journey, from his undergraduate work at Iowa State University to completing his master's degree at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute at Texas A&M University–Kingsville, where he studied the nutritional ecology of northern pintails along the Texas coast. Matt shares how receiving the HSCF-Dan L Duncan Scholarship fueled his aspirations, reflecting on his seasonal field experiences spanning Alaska, Alberta, Alabama, Nevada, Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska. We explore his previous leadership roles as an Assistant State Waterfowl Biologist in Iowa and Waterfowl Program Manager in Nebraska, highlighting the critical science behind bird banding, satellite telemetry, and cross-border international agency collaboration within the Central Flyway.

    Finally, we explore Matt's current work leading habitat restoration, hunter surveys, and game bird management programs with Fish & Game New Zealand, comparing the hunting traditions, species, and regulation structures between North America and Australasia. Matt shares his lifelong passion for chasing waterfowl alongside his black lab, breaks down how biological research shapes hunting bag limits, and offers valuable advice for students looking to turn their love of the outdoors into a global conservation career.
