Share Your Experience
Hunting has a rich story telling tradition; around the fire stories are told and adventures are enjoyed for generations. We want you to explore your experiences by submitting your tales to EatWild. By sharing you are opening up the door for discussion and understanding from new and experienced hunters alike.
Whether or not you actually harvested an animal, we want to know all about your rationale behind becoming a hunter, barriers to learning the skills and your journey to finding EatWild. Pictures help, and this page is designed to help you collect your thoughts and put together something you are happy to post.
