If it affects your rights, your opportunities, or the future of wildlife, it’s talked about here.

First For Hunters Podcast: Episode 18 - Nick Freitas
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is where the real conversations about hunting happen.
On this episode of First For Hunters, host Craig Kauffman sits down with Nick Freitas — veteran, public servant, and unapologetic advocate for personal freedom, responsibility, and the values that define the American hunter.
Nick brings a perspective forged through service — both on the battlefield and in the public arena. As a lifelong hunter and outspoken voice on constitutional rights, his connection to the outdoors runs deeper than recreation. It’s rooted in self-reliance, stewardship, and a belief that the hunting lifestyle is inseparable from the broader principles of liberty.
This conversation goes beyond the hunt.
It’s about responsibility — what it means to provide, to protect, and to preserve something worth passing down. Nick shares how hunting shaped his worldview, how it ties into the fabric of American identity, and why the fight to protect it doesn’t just happen in the field — it happens in culture, policy, and everyday conversations.
They dig into the intersection of hunting and freedom, the growing disconnect between modern society and the source of its food, and why hunters have a role to play far beyond season dates and tags.
No fluff. No filters. Just real perspective from a man who’s lived a life of service — and understands exactly what’s at stake.
Because hunting isn’t just something you do.
It’s a responsibility you carry — to your family, your community, and the principles that make the lifestyle possible.
