Ep. 3: Is Hunting Just About the Kill?
In this powerful and honest episode, we explore the responsibility that comes with hunting. Walker shares a moment when he had a wild turkey in his sights and almost pulled the trigger. We talk through what he was feeling in that exact moment.
Together, we dive into what it means to harvest an animal with respect, how much work goes into the preparation, and why conservation is such a big part of responsible hunting. From food plots to trail cams and long mornings in the woods, we reflect on how hunting can teach patience, gratitude, and care.
As always, there’s a joke to make you laugh and a wild animal fact that might just surprise you.
