Modern Hunstman is a collective of photographers, filmmakers, and writers who produce stories for like-minded conservationists, creatives, outdoor enthusiasts, and brands. Born of frustration with the way hunting is often misrepresented in the media, their objective is to shed light on a more honest side of the story. Told from the perspective of hunting purists and the diplomatically-minded, the stories in Modern Huntsman present balanced narratives from diverse perspectives that are unaltered by skewed emotion-based tactics, intending to bring about constructive conversations on otherwise controversial topics.
The upcoming Volume Seven: The Water issue, delves into the importance and interconnectedness of our oceans, rivers, lakes and rainfall, and how vital it is for water sources to remain healthy for wildlife, and for humans, to survive. With a leaning towards trout and salmon fishing stories in this issue, Modern Huntsman also touches on how watersheds in Maui are being threatened by axis deer, the negative impacts lead ammunition has on riparian areas, the python problem in the Florida Everglades, how wolf hunters in Kyrgyzstan fight to keep their cattle alive, as well as some classic duck hunting in the South.
