Eva Shockey Brent joins Country Outdoors for a candid conversation about hunting, motherhood, media, family legacy, and finding her own path in the outdoor world.
Eva shares what it meant to become the second woman to appear on the cover of Field & Stream, following Queen Elizabeth—and why the moment mattered less as a personal accolade than as a way to represent women who were already making their mark in the outdoors.
From growing up on Vancouver Island as the daughter of Jim and Louise Shockey to studying marketing in Australia, living in Russia, and eventually leaving her original career plans behind to learn how to hunt, Eva’s story is anything but ordinary. She talks about the Africa trip that changed everything, being the only girl around hunts, learning in front of cameras and millions of viewers, and building a career in an industry she never initially set out to enter.
