Bradley Joyce began hunting as an adult during the pandemic and now documents his journey to inspire others. Through the Coast Range Collective, he focuses on conservation and community engagement. Hunting has not only helped him lose weight and improve his mental health but has also deepened his connection to food. He explores cooking techniques that elevate wild game, noting that bear meat can be cooked safely at lower temperatures than once believed, provided it is cooled quickly after harvest. Bear fat, with its many uses from cooking oil to waterproofing, is another resource he values. By documenting food preparation, Bradley works to connect cultures and communities, reflecting a broader shift in the hunting community toward embracing food sustainability.
