Kara LOVES food, eating it, cooking it, and acquiring it. She started out as a hippy hipster vegan, dumpster diving for thrown out bread, but has morphed into a backcountry badass who arrows elk on public land to fill the freezer. Her passion for food has also led to her career as the Supply Chain Manager for Montana State University’s Culinary Services where she gets to work towards creating an incredible dining experience for students. Working within the industrial food system gives her a unique appreciation for the wild food system where she acquires all of her own meat. Whether it’s bagging peaks or tasty critters, exploring the public lands of the west gives her tremendous joy (as long as there’s plenty of snacks).

For Marcus, a career path that started out in wildlife science somehow turned into documentary filmmaking which somehow turned into being Randy Newberg's camera guy. Working for Fresh Tracks has allowed Marcus to combine many of his passions into a dream job telling stories through the lens of a camera, visiting amazing places and meeting incredible people. His hunting addiction is insatiable which encourages him to spend time helping friends and family fill their tags. Not a week has gone by that Marcus hasn't been out enjoying public land or waters in some fashion and most often accompanied by his adventure partner and wife Kara.

Keng Yang is an avid adult-onset hunter who discovered his love for the sport in 2017 when he got his first bird dog, Kaiya. He finds great joy in chasing pheasants and waterfowl in the beautiful wilderness of western Minnesota during the fall, and turkeys in the spring. But Keng's commitment to hunting goes beyond just a pastime; he is a compassionate advocate for the outdoor hunting and fishing communities in Minnesota.

As a chapter board member of Minnesota BHA, and serving on the MN DNR R3 Committee, MN DNR NHAC, and Minnesota Conservation Federation, Keng has devoted his time to ensuring that public land is protected and accessible to everyone. In fact, Keng hunts on public land 99% of the time, which has fueled his passion to be a strong voice for protecting and creating more public land. He believes that the great outdoors should be enjoyed by all, and that preserving public land is essential for future generations to continue to appreciate its beauty.

Keng's gentle and kind nature is reflected in his work as a mentor and advocate for conservation. He inspires others to take an interest in preserving public land, and his message is clear: by working together, we can protect our natural resources and ensure that they remain available for everyone to enjoy. For Keng, hunting is not just a hobby, it's a way of life that brings him great happiness and fulfillment, and he hopes to share that same joy with others.
