## Resource

Matt and fellow Hunt Quietly contributors Jim Durkin and Nick Buckley discuss the copious data indicating that hunter recruitment and reactivation (R2) are at cross-purposes with hunter retention (R1). They also discuss new data indicating that hunting social media is eroding our reputation among the non-hunting public.
