When Sam Anderson’s father invited him to go hunting for the first time, Sam was worried. What if he couldn’t bring himself to pull the trigger? And conversely, what if he could? What would that say about him?
On this episode, Sam takes us into the woods of New Jersey and explores the emotional complexity of taking the life of an animal.
