December 22, 2021 By: NDA Staff

If you want to hear a deer hunting story that’s sure to give you goosebumps and may even bring a tear to your eye, don’t miss this episode. Nick and The Doctor are joined by Kathleen Savaiano who went on her first deer hunt and found success as a recent participant in an NDA Field to Fork event in Missouri. She tells the story of her long journey from an initial interest in trying hunting to the moment she squeezed the trigger. Kathleen talks about the barriers that kept her from hunting sooner, and she describes her flood of emotions as she approached her downed doe. Finally, she describes her entire experience as a Field to Fork participant and how the thoroughness of the program was exactly what she was hoping for as a first-time hunter. This is a rare opportunity to hear a great deer hunting story from the perspective of someone who has done it for the first time.
