Episode 83 // Outdoorswoman and News Reporter and Anchor Tess Maune
For this week’s podcast episode we met up with Tess Maune in Pawhuska, Oklahoma to talk all things outdoors. Tess is an award winning journalist and founding board director for the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Foundation - alongside Blake Shelton, we might add - who works in the city but maintains a rural lifestyle. She is an avid hunter, noodler, and outdoorswoman. Today she’s sharing about her love for hunting and noodling, as well as small towns, and her intentionality behind honoring the animal in every hunt.
You’ll quickly learn about Tess’s passion to showcase the tradition of hunting, and also her advice for anyone wanting to get into hunting or fishing. Be sure to check out the show notes for links where you can follow Tess and everything she is involved with.
I do have a platform that other people don’t and I take it very seriously to make sure that we paint outdoorsmen and women and hunting and fishing in a positive light.

We want more people to become involved in the outdoors. We want more people to hunt. It’s a tradition and we don’t want that tradition to die.
— Tess Maune
Seeing these small towns and the young people in them who are interested in investing in those communities, that’s what excites me. I love to see these old historic buildings being brought back to life by somebody who cares enough about their community to do it.
