If you want to learn how to use herbs medicinally and not only medicinally but also grow them,

I can think of little else that gets me excited as knowing I can literally grow our medicine right outside our back door, then you, my friend, are going to want to make

sure that you are registered and signed up for our herbal summer series. This is completely free, though you definitely could charge for it because it is

packed with information. Once you sign up starting in August, every week you are going to get an email from me going over my top 10 favorite herbs.

Each week we are going to pick one of those herbs and do a deep dive on how to grow that herb,

but more importantly, how to use it, including safety, and if you should use it or not if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

We go through all of the cautions, the medicinal properties, and its uses.

So when you get done done you will have in your pocket and hopefully by

that point in your medicine cabinet my favorite top 10 herbs to always have at the ready. Go to Melissa K Norris.com forward slash

summer herb and make sure that you get registered. Summer school is in session and it has never been better.

101 episode. Now today's guest is one if you've listened to the

podcast for a while you may remember Chris, Chris Gilmore we had on oh gosh it's been several

episodes back where we were talking about foraging and hunting for mushrooms but in

today's context we're actually talking about hunting for game.

And what's interesting is Chris actually was a vegetarian.

They have a pregnancy of judgment about what hunting is and what it does.

So we're going to be diving in that today. So even if you don't hunt, I think you will find this a very fascinating episode.

And Chris also gives some excellent tips

because so many of us may not have anybody
