Ep. 48 - A Professional Small Boy: Faith, Hunting, and Knowing When to Hang It Up with Pastor Zach Wells
Some guys hunt. Pastor Zach Wells is "built different". Pastor of Christ Temple Pentecostal Church in Jena, Louisiana, he calls himself a "professional small boy" who learned to deer hunt off of old Primos Hunting videos, and once hunted 66 days in a single Alabama season. In this one we sat down in his church office, swapped stories, and got into the stuff that actually matters: chasing big whitetails from Alabama to Kansas, the year he sold every piece of gear he owned to go preach, and the hard lesson that when you want it too bad, it runs right out of reach. Bro. Wells lays out how he keeps hunting, family, and faith in the right order, and why the best hunts came when he finally stopped frothing at the mouth for them. Plus a gold mine for dads: how to get a kid into the woods and keep them there. Why a youth rifle is a mistake, how to dress a kid so he doesn't freeze out, letting them shoot the armadillo, and setting them up to win. This one runs deep and we barely scratched the surface. Part two is coming. Grab a bag of coffee at . Brought to you also by Kilby Break Outfitters, fully guided duck and goose hunts in the heart of the Mississippi Delta.
