Ep. 171 : Reframing Hunting Through Story & Stewardship with Tyler Sharp of Modern Huntsman

Tyler Sharp, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Modern Huntsman, joins us to share the unlikely journey behind one of the most influential voices in modern outdoor culture. Blending art, adventure, and conservation, Modern Huntsman reframes hunting and the outdoors through responsible storytelling, cultural awareness, and ethical stewardship. Tyler reflects on global travels—including formative time in Africa—where he witnessed the complexities of conservation firsthand. He discusses how Modern Huntsman curates photographers, writers, Indigenous voices, and scientists to tell stories that emphasize ecology, ethics, and human connection over trophies or sensationalism. We also explore the realities of building an independent publication, navigating business pressures and editorial integrity, and how storytelling shapes conservation, culture, and the way we engage with wild places. Whether you’re a hunter, creative, conservationist, or simply someone who loves the outdoors, this conversation invites you to slow down, look deeper, and consider why stories matter.
