Hunting is obviously a major part of our lives. Otherwise, you probably wouldn’t be interested in listening to this show, but hunters are often times left with a personal dilemma when asked about their intentions for hunting. So when we are approached by people who do not understand why we choose to hunt, we may face some difficulty in trying to articulate why we actually want to hunt.

1. Physical Growth

2. Mental/Emotional Growth

3. Spiritual Growth

In this episode, I dive into the ethics of hunting and how to be an ethical hunter. Ethics are a set of principles that culture sets in order to determine what is right and what is wrong. Hunters must also follow certain parameters of morality as we pursue our prey. There are 3 points that I will focus on in this episode.

1. Knowing and respecting wildlife

2. Obeying the law

3. Behaving the right way
