Outdoor enthusiast and conservation advocate Eva Shockey appeared on Tomi Lahren’s podcast “Tomi Lahren Is Fearless” to discuss her lifelong involvement in bear hunting. Shockey emphasized that hunting bears helps manage overpopulation, protect crops, and reduce conflicts with residential neighborhoods.
Why bear hunting matters
“Overpopulation, conservation,” Shockey said, noting that wildlife biologists in her father’s region set harvest limits to keep bear numbers at sustainable levels. She explained that without regulated hunting, bears can cause crop damage and increase encounters with people.
Personal taste and community impact
When asked if she eats bear meat, Shockey replied, “You can. It’s flavorful in a way that’s not my favorite.” She added that bear meat is used in sausages and other dishes, but she prefers elk. To ensure the meat does not go to waste, she donates it to families in her area.
Encouraging responsible hunting
Shockey urged listeners who are curious about trying bear sausage to give it a try, while reminding them to hunt responsibly and within legal limits. She concluded that, although she would choose elk over bear if given a choice, bear hunting remains an important tool for wildlife management.
