SCI: 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.

SCI First For Hunters Podcast: Episode 19 - Keith Tidball, Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is where the future of hunting is being built—long before the first tag is filled.
On this episode of First For Hunters, host Craig Kauffman sits down with Keith Tidball, Executive Director of the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation—a leader at the intersection of conservation, education, and community.
With a background spanning decades in conservation science, public service, and outdoor recreation, Keith brings a unique perspective on what it truly takes to secure the future of hunting. From his work at Cornell University to advising national conservation initiatives, his career has been centered on one core idea: if we want the outdoors to endure, we have to intentionally pass it on.
Together, they dive into the growing role of education in recruitment, retention, and reactivation—and how programs like Outdoor Adventures are introducing hundreds of thousands of students to hunting, fishing, and conservation through the classroom.
This conversation goes deeper than curriculum. It’s about cultural relevance, access, and the responsibility of today’s hunters to shape tomorrow’s advocates. Through the partnership between SCI and OTF, the path forward is clear: bring the outdoors to where the next generation already is—and invite them in.
Because the future of hunting isn’t just protected in the field…
It’s taught.
