Extraordinary book “Why Women Hunt”

Hunting is commonly perceived as a man’s world. Breaking that stereotype in this episode, host Bruce Hutcheon talks to Kristine “KJ” Houtman about her book, Why Women Hunt. The book is the first book of its kind and takes us to an intimate look at the lives of eighteen individual female hunters across the country. Their diverse personal stories explore what motivates them to connect, spiritually and physically, with the natural world in one of humankind’s most ancient food-gathering rituals. These dedicated outdoor women—of all ages, professions, education and cultural backgrounds—make up an increasing proportion of licensed American hunters. Take a look into the lives of women hunters and even learn from Kristine great pieces of advice on how to hunt efficiently and effectively.
