<h1><strong>Episode Description</strong></h1><p><br></p><p>What comes to mind when you picture a hunter? Is the person you’re imagining a woman? No? Well, think again. In the fourth and final chapter of <em>Deer Humans,</em> we take a deep dive into what is perhaps the most polarizing topic of the entire series: hunting. I speak with three deer hunters who are determined to debunk some of the myths surrounding their sport, one of which is that it’s a sport for men. These three women help me unpack the complexities of being a deer hunter in an overpopulated area like the East End. We discuss hunting as a form of conservation, whether or not it’s possible for hunters to love animals, and the things hunters wish you knew before you judged them. Along the way, I grapple with what it means to listen, compromise, and embark on a search for common ground.</p><p><br></p><h1><strong>Show Notes</strong></h1><p><br></p><p>All music in this episode is courtesy of<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.sessions.blue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Blue Dot Sessions</a>.</p><p><br></p><h3><strong>Source referenced in this episode:</strong></h3><p>The New York Times: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/nyregion/deer-hunting.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Deer Overpopulation Meets Its Match: Women Who Hunt</a></p><p><br></p><h3><strong>Guests featured in this episode (in order of appearance):</strong></h3><p>Jane Gill, Marissa Estatio, Jacqueline Molina, Julia Weisenberg, Chenae Bullock</p><p><br></p><h3><strong>Organizations to support:</strong></h3><p>Long Island Babes and Bucks <a href="https://www.facebook.com/longislandbabesandbucks/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook Page</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/longislandbabesandbucks/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><h3><strong>Further learning:</strong></h3><p>Newsday: <a href="https://www.newsday.com/lifestyle/recreation/womens-fishing-club-long-island-1.50316942" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">This women's fishing club is big on catches and bigger on empowerment</a></p><p>The New Yorker: <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/11/15/deer-wars-and-death-threats" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Deer Wars and Death Threats</a></p><p>The New York Times: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/24/nyregion/nj-deer-venison-food-bank.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Meat Is Hard for Hungry Families to Come By.
