Show Notes

A 12-year-old boy went hunting with his dad in the snowy woods of Pennsylvania. A shot rang out near his dad’s tree, and at first, everyone thought his dad had gotten a buck. What happened next became a hunting accident that changed his family, his faith, and the direction of his life forever. In this episode of the Hayden Alabama Podcast, Mark Witt shares one of the most powerful outdoor stories we’ve ever heard — a true story involving hunting, grief, bitterness, forgiveness, and the kind of testimony you don’t forget. What started as a deer hunting trip became a life-changing moment that later reached far beyond the woods.

If you enjoy real Southern storytelling, hunting stories, outdoor testimonies, and true stories with faith, humor, heartbreak, and redemption, this episode is one you’ll want to hear all the way through. Hit that subscribe button and join us every Tuesday night!
