Elk Hunting, Danger, & Unleashing the Wild Man Within

Register for the 2023 New Christendom Press Conference here.

In this episode, I talk with Dan Berkholder, a mountain man, beast killer, and all around great guy (and close friend) about our success with elk hunting season out West. We also talk about Robert Bly's "Iron John," why men need to release the wild man, experience danger, and taste meaningful risk. 

Why is it that deep play is a form of rest? Why does strenuous activity relieve stress and restore health? How can a gang of men reduce the load of work exponentially? How is hunting an initiatory rite loaded with symbolic, ritualistic meaning? We talk about this and more from two epic elk hunting trips.
