Colorado Hunters Are LOSING Because of One Thing | ULLR's Archery Dustin Lovell

Colorado hunters are losing ground, not because they're outnumbered, but because they've stopped talking. Dustin Lovell of ULLR's Archery joins us to break down the Colorado Conservation Film Festival, what it actually takes to bring new people into hunting culture, and why the conversation is the most powerful tool we have left. We get into the Colorado film festival submissions (open through June 30th), why unsuccessful hunts tell better stories than grip-and-grin highlight reels, what ballot box biology is doing to Colorado's wildlife future, and how one conversation over a backstrap dinner can change a person's entire perspective on conservation. If you hunt in Colorado, or care about what happens to public land, wildlife management, and the people who fund it, this one's worth your time. 🎟️ https://theoriginsfoundation.org/ 🧢 Our clothing: salidagunshopgear.com 🌿 CRWM / Save the Hunt: savethehuntcolorado.com Subscribe for more Colorado hunting, 2A, and conservation content from Salida. #ColoradoHunting #ConservationFilmFestival #SalidaGunshop

BUILDING CAPABLE PEOPLE: A Conversation with Beth Davis of Crossfit Salida

This is for anyone who believes in self-reliance and the Second Amendment but hasn't examined their own capability. Taking care of yourself is community responsibility work. You either carry weight, or the people around you do. Beth Davis, owner of CrossFit Salida, breaks down how physical fitness and mental resilience directly impact your ability to protect your family, show up for your community, and stay independent. When you neglect your health, that cost transfers to the people who depend on you. Featured: Beth Davis, CrossFit Salida | Hosted by Josiah Nierman, Salida Gunshop

The Last Real Cowboy | Tucker Daubs

Tucker Daubs is a working ranch hand at Eightbar Ranch in the Colorado Rockies. Adam and Josiah sit down with him to break down what real cowboy life actually looks like -- 20 to 34-mile horseback days, managing water systems built over a century ago, moving cattle across extreme terrain, and dealing with predator pressure from wolves, bears, and coyotes. They also get into the firearms that actually get used in ranch work, why suppressors are a practical tool out here, and what the decline of agriculture means for the next generation.Video on our YouTube: Salida Gunshop
