A Conversation with Christie Green: On Moonlight Elk, Wild Places & Womanhood

In this special edition of Women Who Hunt, I sit down with Christie Green — land and water steward, landscape architect, educator, hunter, and author of the powerful memoir Moonlight Elk: One Woman’s Hunt for Food and Freedom.

I first discovered Christie through her book on Audible, and the moment I pressed play, I couldn’t stop listening. Her voice, her honesty, and the way she moves through the wild with intention and courage resonated deeply — and this conversation is every bit as powerful.

Christie shares how learning to hunt transformed her life across the landscapes of New Mexico and Alaska. From harvesting her own food to shedding the expectations placed on women, her journey is a raw and inspiring exploration of freedom, place, and identity.

We dive into:

• how Christie learned to hunt elk, deer, and turkey

• the connection between food, land, and belonging

• navigating a male-dominated hunting culture

• transforming fear into intuition and confidence

• the themes behind Moonlight Elk

• her upcoming books, Salmon Dreaming and The New Meridian

This episode goes deep — into instinct, courage, womanhood, wilderness, and the profound lessons that hunting offers.

If you’re a woman who hunts, wants to hunt, or loves powerful stories from the outdoors, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.
