Episode Details

Your hunting license protects your place in the woods. Who protects the freedom that gets you there?

Hunter Nation founder Keith Mark joins Mark Walters for a full hour of Armed American Radio’s Daily Defense, connecting America’s hunting heritage with Second Amendment rights and the consequences of sitting out elections.

Keith shares how a conversation with Donald Trump in 2016 helped inspire his work organizing hunters, why he helped establish Hunter Nation, and what he believes keeps so many outdoorsmen and gun owners away from the polls.

Mark and Keith explore a difficult question: Why do some Americans own firearms while supporting candidates who favor more gun restrictions?

In this episode:

• From outdoor television with Shawn Michaels to founding Hunter Nation.
• Hunting season, inconvenience, independence, and voter apathy.
• Why owning a gun doesn’t automatically make someone a gun-rights voter.
• Keith’s perspective on turnout in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan, and Arizona.
• Their outlook on the approaching midterms and control of Congress.
• Hunting heritage, constitutional freedom, and passing both to the next generation.
• Mark previews new AAR projects, including television production and an upcoming weekly podcast.

A candid conversation about the future of the outdoor lifestyle—and the responsibility that comes with preserving it.
