Grace in the Chase: PKC Youth World Reserve Champion “Alec Hummel”

Episode Notes

Welcome to Grace in the Chase, where we explore stories of passion, perseverance, and the grace that guides us along the way. Today, we have the privilege of hearing from Alec Hummel, a young man whose journey into the world of coon hunting is both inspiring and heartwarming.

Alec's love for the movie "Where the Red Fern Grows" sparked an interest in coon hunting long before he ever experienced it firsthand. It wasn't until he met Albert “Bucky” Ashcraft that this interest became a reality. At just 14 years old, Alec went on his first coon hunting adventure with Bucky, and it was a moment that changed everything. From that day forward, Alec was captivated by the thrill and challenge of the hunt.

Recently, Alec participated in the PKC World Youth Hunt for the first and last time, as he has now aged out of the youth category. Having just graduated high school at 18, Alec stands at the threshold of a new chapter, with endless possibilities before him. Supported by a loving family, including two siblings and parents who have been married for over two decades, Alec finds strength and encouragement in their unwavering support.

Join us as Alec shares his journey to becoming the PKC World Youth Reserve Champion. His story is a testament to the grace that accompanies us in our pursuits and the joy of doing what we love. Tune in to hear it all on Grace in the Chase!
