In this engaging conversation, Nick Otto and Bradley Joyce explore the journey of hunting, conservation, and culinary adventures. Bradley shares his transition from a tech career to becoming an adult onset hunter, emphasizing the importance of wild game in his life. They discuss the Coast Range Collective's mission to promote conservation and community engagement, as well as the culinary techniques that elevate wild game cooking. The conversation highlights the emotional connections to hunting, the evolution of the hunting community, and the significance of sustainable food practices. Bradley Joyce began hunting as an adult during the pandemic and now documents his journey to inspire others. Through the Coast Range Collective, he focuses on conservation and community engagement. Hunting has not only helped him lose weight and improve his mental health but has also deepened his connection to food. He explores cooking techniques that elevate wild game, noting that bear meat can be cooked safely at lower temperatures than once believed, provided it is cooled quickly after harvest. Bear fat, with its many uses from cooking oil to waterproofing, is another resource he values. By documenting food preparation, Bradley works to connect cultures and communities, reflecting a broader shift in the hunting community toward embracing food sustainability.
