UW Offers Wildlife Entrepreneurship Seminar March 26

The University of Wyoming College of Agriculture, Life Sciences and Natural Resources will facilitate a Ranch Management and Agricultural Leadership (RMAL) seminar for those interested in the wildlife and hunting industries.

The event, which is the third of UW's 2026 RMAL seminar series, will take place Thursday, March 26, from 5-7 p.m. in Room 1032 of UW's Agriculture Building. It also is available via Zoom.

The seminar series allows students, entrepreneurs and agricultural professionals to connect with one another and learn from experts in the industry. All sessions are free and open to the public.

The seminar, titled "Journaling the Outdoors: Wildlife Entrepreneurs," will be presented by Ike Eastman, president and CEO of Eastmans' Hunting Journal. The journal produces educational resources for hunters, including print magazines, blogs, podcasts, videos and online courses.

During the seminar, Eastman will discuss the wildlife industry, the history of Eastmans' Hunting Journal and the responsibilities of running a company, from managing people and print publications to creating online content and staying aware of current industry trends.

Community members can register for the session at https://bit.ly/rmal-hunt. Each session is livestreamed and recorded via Zoom for participants who cannot attend in person. Registered participants will receive a Zoom link for the session for which they signed up.

The 2026 RMAL seminar series will conclude with the Rocky Mountain Land and Resource Management Conference at the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center in Laramie. This all-day leadership symposium will take place Wednesday, April 15, from 8:15 a.m.-5 p.m.
