Women on the Hunt

Submitted by Tyee staff, 9 Dec 2014

 

When you think of hunting, you might imagine gun-toting, beer-drinking lads out in the woods looking to kill a deer. But in B.C., a new wave of hunters are changing the game. From 1995 to 2013, the number of female hunters rose by 88 per cent.

Many of these women say they're not hunting for sport. Instead, they see hunting as a means to food security and the preservation of healthy ecosystems. Follow two hunters as they embark on a 16-hour journey to bring home dinner as sustainably as possible -- by killing it themselves.

Produced and edited by Lien Yeung and Olivia Zauli Fellows.
