In this fifth episode of the Modern Carnivore Podcast I sit down with Howard Vincent who is the President and CEO of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. The hunting conservation organization he leads is a pioneer in conserving and restoring habitat that benefits upland game. Their work not only supports a healthy environment for pheasants and quail, but many other wild critters, and clean water. Howard grew up in Duluth, MN which is one of my favorite places. He shares what it was like growing up in the north woods with parents who let him roam free, and how he got his kids started off hunting (and doing other things in the woods) at a young age. Listen in on this engaging conversation with a true conservation leader.   Reference Links from Today's Podcast Watch Awaken The Hunter Within here - This seven-part film is a documentary on Becca, Pierce and Alex who all decide to learn how to hunt.

A guide for those interested in hearing more about hunting, fishing, and other paths to eating more responsibly. Now, here's your host, Mark Norquist. Hello and welcome to this episode number five of the Modern Carnivore Podcast. Mark:               00:00:27 Today I'm joined by Howard Vincent. He is the president and CEO of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever.

They've got 150 wildlife biologists that work with them across the country and they've got nearly 150,000 members that are in, I think over 700 chapters across the country.
