Description

Picture a hunter. Who comes to mind? Millionaire playboys or big truck owning folks? Maybe so, but there's more to it. Because if you love nature, value sustainability, abhor the pollution and inhumanity of factory farms, you could be a hunter in the making. And if you've never even considered hunting, The Shotgun Conservationist reveals all the reasons you should.

Brant MacDuff makes us rethink who hunts and why. Growing up an animal lover with no hunting background, MacDuff himself would seem an unlikely advocate.

Yet a lifelong love of the outdoors and a restless curiosity compelled him to investigate a simple question: is hunting conservation?

So convinced, he consistently holds a hunting license in multiple states and gives lectures on the positive impact hunting has on conservation efforts nationwide and around the world. MacDuff tells the story of how he became a hunter and the colourful characters, big personalities, and first-hand research that helped change his mind.

His journey led to a deeper understanding of how hunting protects public lands, supports sustainable ecosystems, encourages biodiversity, and can help bridge social and political divides.

Along the way, he introduces us to a new generation of hunters, different from timeworn stereotypes and preconceptions. And who better than MacDuff? A trans man living in Brooklyn, he defies expectations of who hunts and invites people of all backgrounds into the field. Whether or not you decide to take up hunting, The Shotgun Conservationist provides a new perspective and appreciation for those who do.
