There are many judgments around the topic of hunting and, to provide insight into the matter, today’s guest breaks down the true motives and process of ethical hunting. Louis Brown is an Australian-born, Alberta-based hunter and avid outdoorsman and, in this episode, we learn about what it is that draws him to hunting (bow hunting in particular), and how, given the regulations, it is far more ethical than eating store-bought meat. Louis explains his deliberate approach to hunting and shares some thrilling anecdotes from his time in the wild. It’s clear that Louis has a deep respect for the animals he hunts and the environment they live in, and it turns out that the role that hunters play in wildlife conservation is significant. Tune in to hear all about ethical hunting, from the barriers to entry to the actual hunt and packing process.
