What We Do at The Ethical Sportsman
The Ethical Sportsman is a place to go to learn all things related to trapping hunting, and fishing. We have a major focus on Ethical Sportsmanship as well as supporting conservation, access, and sustainability. We are advocates for all things related to those topics and we strive to make sure they are all available for future generations.
Lectures
We are sometimes available for speaking engagements, especially to help out non-profit sporting organizations.

Fisher, Boater, Editor, and all around Best Wife Ever
Kelly is the Editor for The Ethical Sportsman. While she provides great insight on the topics we cover, she also has a long history in the outdoors. She grew up in the coastal town of Marshfield, Massachusetts and has spent years fishing these waters. Although she has experience in several styles of fishing, nothing compares to spending a day in a canoe with a rod and reel and a bucket of shiners.
