When the leafs start to change color each fall, and the
drive to deer hunt all day reaches its peak, the tune of the
“hunting widow” is amplified across the country. Not to exclude the
other hunting seasons, but deer hunting seems to take the brunt of
this near syndromatic phenomenon. Laura Eakin, the wife
of a hardcore deer and elk hunter, once fell victim to this
situation. And, in an effort to pseudo-retaliate against this
status quo, Laura started a podcast known as The Hunting Widow Podcast. It started as
a project where Laura planned to gather her hunting widow friends
and verbally express their disdain for the situation. That
was the intent, but what actually happened was something completely
different. Instead of forming a quasi support group laced
with microphones, Laura found herself interviewing lady hunters
from across the country, beginning a life of hunting for herself,
and has formed what is arguably the only lady-hunter
focused podcast in the iTunes catalog. Laura goes into
detail about why she started the show, how it changed her
perspective on hunting altogether, and how she feels her show
contributes to getting more women into the field.
