A Pastor's Perspective on Life, Death & Bowhunting | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 438

This week on the 100% Wild Podcast, Brandon Moore joins Tim to co-host an episode packed with personal stories, ethical questions, and hunting insights from both the whitetail woods and the western mountains. Brandon, a longtime bowhunter and pastor, shares his incredible elk encounter that ended with a bull laying down 40 yards from the fence... and falling asleep. The duo also dives into the emotional side of taking a life, the connection between faith and conservation, the importance of wind vs. moon phase, and the looming threat of CWD. This one’s part heart, part humor, and 100% Wild.
