Every brand is on the hook to promote conservation. Yet throwing money behind the "hunting is conservation" angle isn't landing as hard as it used to. What are some less-expected thought-starters brands can dig into that no one can ignore?

Andy and Bill sit down with Simon Roosevelt to explore glaring truths and courageous narratives brands could adopt to motivate, instigate and agitate. So our industry can mobilize the next generation of rabid conservationists and ethical hunters.

Simon is the great-great grandson of Theodore Roosevelt. Hunter. Lawyer. Brand ambassador. Chairman of the Scenic Hudson Land Trust. State Parks Commissioner of New York City. And a regular member of the Boone & Crockett Club. He is also Vice Chairman of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation.

Simon Roosevelt walks the conservation walk. Are you a brand wrestling with the challenge to do the same? This tailgate chat is a great place to start.
