He said currently 60% of hunting and fishing licenses are sold to white males over the age of 55. He said the problem with that is the revenue generated from the sales of those licenses helps fund conservation.
“In 10 to 15 years from now, we don’t know how we are going to replace that (lost revenue),” Green said.
The younger generation just is not as active or interested in the outdoors, he said. Green uses his show to reach those audiences and inspire them to get active.
According to their website, the Green Way Outdoors' mission is “To promote and protect outdoor heritage and conservation through educating, inspiring, entertaining, and simplifying outdoor activities to increase participation for both novice and experience styled outdoorsmen while demonstrating respect and wholesome values for the blessing and beauty of the natural world.”
Green described his series, The Green Way Outdoors, as a hunting show that blends a contemporary hunting show with reality TV and topped off with a cooking show. The show takes audiences through the cyclical journey from gear, to the conservation necessary for the game, through the ups and downs of the hunts. Audiences also get an inside look at how Green and his team cook their harvest to share with others.
Last year, Green partnered with the NWTF to produce a show centered on the wild turkey.
