Angie Kokes hunts closer than most hunters dare--sometimes within feet. In today's conversation, she shares the discipline behind spear hunting--and how she got started hunting so close she can literally reach out and touch critters--the criticism that comes with it, and the conviction that keeps her moving forward. What begins as a chance encounter in an Newark airport--with me walking around a baggage carousel belt in hand while looking for an anti-hunter--unfolds into a story about purpose, resilience, close-encounter hunting, and the unexpected ways life is shaped.
