Is Hunting Conservation?

Last week I spent some time down in southern Georgia at a bit of a think-tank meetup for conservation minded biologists and scicommers. The whole thing was setup by my wonderful friends at the Jones Center at Ichauway, who is dedicated to doing great conservation in Longleaf pine forests. I've been out here before looking at the fire they use to promote diversity in the habitat. Now, I got the opportunity to go with them on one of the traditional quail hunts that essentially started this entire movement.

I also want o say a big thanks to all current and future patrons who are helping fund this science and filmmaking outreach via patreon: http://bit.ly/2Sfmkph
