Highlights

  • Every sense in your body is on 10, your Goosebumps have Goosebumps, everything it's just there's nothing like it in the world.
  • It's more powerful than sport, and that's why I think when you call it the sport of hunting, I'm like I don't like that term.
  • The reality of mountain lions is like you're not going to get an accurate assessment from someone who visits it once a month.
  • When you hear the swack of that Arrow hitting the vitals, and you see the spot right in the Golden Triangle, you're like we got him we got him.
  • The camp time is almost as fun as the hunting time, you're all just winding down at the end of the day, having a good time together relaxing and telling stories.

Takeaways

  • Hunting is deeply connected to human evolution and provides a sense of fulfillment.
  • Respect for wildlife and conservation are crucial aspects of hunting.
  • The camaraderie and bonding during hunting trips are as valuable as the hunt itself.
  • Technology in archery, like rangefinders and compound bows, has revolutionized hunting.
  • Hunting offers a therapeutic escape from modern life and a chance to reconnect with nature.
