Summary

Dr. Anthony Gustin sits down to chat with Jake Muise, the CEO and Founder of Maui Nui Venison, to discuss the overpopulation of Axis deer in Hawaii and what’s being done about it.

When you tune in, you’ll learn about how this overpopulation of deer started, how it spread, why it’s such a problem for the people and environment in Hawaii, and more.

Jake also dives into his stress-free humane harvesting practices, how that’s even possible, his upbringing and background, and how he found himself moving from Northern Canada to Hawaii to eventually tackling the overpopulation of Axis deer on the islands.

You’ll also get a sneak peek into Jake’s incredible operation: from getting USDA certified to what his on-the-spot harvesting actually looks like to how they hunt deer at night in the most humane way possible.

Here’s a breakdown of what Jake and Dr. Gustin chat about:

  • How Jake went from living in Northern Canada for most of his life to living in Hawaii
  • How Jake’s family lived off of the land
  • How the deer overpopulation in Hawaii started
  • How the population is spreading today
  • Why the overpopulation of these deer is a problem
  • When it became an issue
  • How all of this led Jake to do what he does now
  • Why you can’t just hunt and sell that meat
  • What Jake’s incredible process looks like
  • What the ultimate goal is with these deer
  • More about Jake’s company Maui Nui Venison, which humanely harvests Axis deer out of Hawaii

Hello and welcome to the Natural State podcast. I am your host Dr. Anthony Guston. It is

0:10.2

my belief that the natural state of penny living organisms' health and that our artificial

0:14.5

habitat has forced us into having artificial health problems. This show is my attempt to

0:18.7

dive deep and learn about using nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships and more to help

0:23.8

you reclaim your natural state of health in a modern world and show you how to thrive

0:27.8

in an environment that's stacked against you. If you enjoyed today's show, you can find

0:31.3

out more details and information at Dr. Anthony Guston.com.

0:35.5

I'm super excited to have Jake Mew's on the podcast today. At times, this episode may

0:41.6

sound a little bit like a paid spot, sponsorship, affiliate, some sort of weird pyramid scheme,

0:47.5

but I can assure you that I have zero financial interest in Maui, New York, or anything

0:53.2

that they do. I'm not an investor, I'm not an advisor. I do nothing for the company. I

0:56.4

get nothing in return. Let me get free meat. I just love absolutely everything this company

1:02.3

is doing. My exploration over the last couple of years, digging into the food system, and

1:07.4

obviously, if you follow any of my work, my focus in regenerative agriculture about trying

1:11.2

to find ways that are good for the planet, as well as the best for humans for taste, nutrition,

1:17.2

ethical reasons, everything. I actually stumbled upon their work and we'll talk about it in

1:22.6

the podcast, but I think that they may be the most ethical, most nutritious, best tasting,

1:29.3

and best for the planet meat product you can buy, the entire planet. You will dig into

1:35.2

this in Jake's amazing story. I told them after we recorded that, somebody should make

1:40.0

a documentary about him and his life, and I think you'll get what I mean once the podcast

1:44.4

gets rolling. If you guys are interested in stuff, obviously, you can find out more information

at MauiNuVenicent.com, otherwise tune in and I hope you enjoy the show.
