In this heartfelt episode of Women Who Hunt, I sit down with Mel VanDeelen to hear her incredible journey into the hunting world. Mel opens up about her first pig, the special moment of her daughter’s first goat, and what it was like growing up in a family where girls didn’t hunt—only to one day share a hunt with her dad.

In this very first episode of Women Who Hunt, host Carly Parker shares her story—how she discovered hunting later in life, what it lit up inside her, and the quiet moment in the bush that changed everything. This is more than just a podcast—it's a community, a movement, and a space where women who hunt (or want to) can feel seen, heard, and supported.

Whether you're spotlighting pigs, chasing deer, or just dreaming of your first hunt, this podcast is for you.
