Ryan Callaghan is more than just a moustache. I first met Ryan when he was working for First Lite as their director of conservation and I was immediately drawn to his authenticity. As a longtime hunter, angler and competent outdoorsman, he has seen a lot. After a successful 12 years at First Lite, Ryan recently transitioned into a new role. As MeatEater’s director of conservation, his focus is on highlighting the most important issues in the conservation space. In this episode of Anchored, Ryan and I discuss a little bit of his family history, the basics of the public lands campaign and Chronic Wasting Disease in deer.
