Snow Goose Hunt

Today, AB3 talks about his recent feature in Voyage ATL where he shares his personal story, his vision for Bryant Land, and lessons learned along the way while building the brand. He also recounts a story he read about a high school teacher in Alaska who brought a moose he shot himself to class and taught his students how to debone, trim, and process the meat. Finally, AB3 talks about his unique experience taking part in a conservation snow goose hunt.

Episode Highlights

• AB3 on his recent Voyage ATL feature
• The story of a high school teacher in Alaska who had his students to break down big game in class
• Trying raccoon for the first time
• Taking part in a conservation snow goose hunt

3 Key Points

• AB3’s feature in Voyage ATL is not a tear jerker, but he does speak on the many struggles of building a media brand. One of the hardest parts has been garnering support for Bryant Land through sponsors. As AB3 explains, it’s all part of the process, and it’s all a matter of putting out consistent content until your vision catches fire.
• It’s a great sign that some schools are starting to reintroduce vocational training. For the hunting community in particular, it should be inspiring to see a high school teacher in Alaska bringing in a deer he himself hunted into his classroom for his students to break down. That by itself is a breakthrough in America’s hunting culture.
• Going on a conservation snow goose hunt is quite a different experience from any other kind of waterfowl hunt. AB3 shares how his unique hunt went, from having to wear a stark white outfit to using an electronic call to being able to use a magazine extender.

Three Powerful Quotes

• Trying to establish a brand and trying to get the stories that you want to tell out there is tough when you don’t have the funding or the sponsors or the backing—people that don’t see your vision. Nevertheless, you keep going, you keep pushing, you keep putting your content out there.
• People always talk about freedom; but if you try to do anything in this country without a permit, you really see what your freedom is all about.
• How cool is it to walk into class, have a big-ass moose sitting there and, as part of the curriculum, and get to break it down and process it? That’s definitely better than dissecting a frog.
