First For Hunters Podcast
Safari Club International’s “First For Hunters” Podcast
This is the front line when it comes to hunting advocacy and conservation.
Hosted by Craig Kauffman, the official podcast of Safari Club International cuts through the noise and goes straight to the issues that impact hunters, outfitters, and conservationists around the world. SCI was built to defend the freedom to hunt and safeguard wildlife for future generations — and this show carries that mission into every conversation.
No fluff. No recycled headlines.
Each week, we break down the legislation, policies, and global decisions shaping the future of hunting. From international regulations and conservation battles to industry news, boots-on-the-ground perspectives, and insider updates from SCI — this is where hunters stay informed and ready.
If it affects your rights, your opportunities, or the future of wildlife, it’s talked about here.
This is more than a podcast.
It’s a pulse check on the state of hunting worldwide, and WE ARE First For Hunters.

First For Hunters Podcast: Episode 14 - Craig Boddington

This is where the real conversations about hunting happen.
On this episode of First For Hunters, host Craig Kauffman sits down with Craig Boddington — a legendary hunter, conservationist, and one of the most respected voices in the outdoor world.
With decades spent chasing game across six continents, Boddington brings a perspective few can match. From dangerous game in Africa to backcountry pursuits in North America, his experiences go far beyond the trophy — rooted instead in respect for wildlife, ethical hunting, and the responsibility that comes with it.
But this conversation isn’t about highlight reels.
It’s about what hunting really means — the discipline, the failures, the lessons learned over a lifetime in the field. Boddington speaks candidly on conservation, the evolution of modern hunting, and the growing disconnect between those who live it and those who try to define it from the outside.
Just hard-earned perspective from a man who’s seen it all — and still believes the best part of hunting isn’t what you take, but what it gives back.
Because in the end, the legacy of hunting won’t be measured in inches or pounds —
it’ll be measured in how well we protect it for the next generation.
