IT IS HERE! š¦š¦š¦š
Tomorrow marks the official release of my first book, Hunting: A New Conversation!
Iām so incredibly proud of how this project turned out.
In so many ways, this book is a dedication to the mentors who taught me how to hunt, respect the land, and stay connected to my roots. Itās also a thank you to the incredible community of mentees, mentors, volunteers, and friends Iāve had the privilege of sharing the woods with over the last several years as weāve worked to break down barriers and help more people find their place outdoors through some great orgs tagged!
And weāve done a lot of that work in New York Cityāa place where you might least expect to find the next generation of hunters, and where the barriers to becoming one can be incredibly high. Yet Iāve watched people go from never imagining themselves as hunters to harvesting their first deer or turkey, putting food on their tables, mentoring others, and becoming fierce advocates for wildlife and wild places.
That experience shaped so much of this book.
Thereās a little something for everyone in these pages: wildlife biology and conservation, good olā hunting stories, reflections on mentorship and tradition, thoughts on the changing face of hunting, and some seriously incredible artwork from Stacy Hsu - Illustrator!
But more than anything, Hunting: A New Conversation asks a simple question: Who gets to see themselves as a hunter?
Because hunters donāt come from one place, look one way, or have one story.
I truly believe we are witnessing a new era of the hunter-conservationistāone that honors the traditions and knowledge passed down to us while opening the door wider for the people who will carry them forward.
This is the hunting book I had been looking for and couldnāt find. So I wrote it. Hunting: A New Conversation is officially out tomorrow, August 25. You can grab a copy wherever books are sold (links in bio!). Iād be incredibly grateful if you bought a copy, shared this post, or sent it to someone who you think might like to read!
Hereās to the next generationāand the next faceāof hunter-conservationists. š¦š¹š„©š£
