About this episode

Join host Andy Elliott in a captivating episode of The Broadside Podcast as he delves into the world of hunting, business, and conservation with special guest Ross Sharp. Ross shares his rich hunting experiences, from his early days in Washington to encounters with game wardens and the therapeutic impact of hunting on terminally ill children.

Discover the heartwarming journey of Ross's side project, Crazy Elk, where he combines passion and philanthropy by creating products and donating profits to charity.

The episode takes a deep dive into the positive impact of hunting and the challenges faced in advocating for hunting rights. Ross and Andy discuss a unique fundraiser for the Sportsmen's Alliance, featuring a t-shirt sale with all profits going to support legal battles against anti-hunting policies. The duo navigates through customer confusion, frustrations with commissioners, and the broader conversation on the motivations of anti-hunting organizations.

Learn about the ongoing issues within Washington's Wildlife Commission and the duo's strategies for raising awareness and support for hunting causes. Ross proposes innovative ideas, such as placing ads in hunting regulations, while Andy emphasizes the importance of spreading awareness beyond Washington's borders.

The episode concludes with a discussion on future plans, including Ross's commitment to expanding Crazy Elk's product line. Tune in for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation on hunting, business, and conservation advocacy with Ross Sharp on The Broadside Podcast
