Love this. Donnie is one man that I would love to sit down with and just talk for hours. I’m hopeful that happens. Thank you Brian for having him on, I enjoyed the conversation.
I really enjoy this podcast, I have listened to many of them but this one kind of hit home for particularly with the part about shot panic. I have Hunted 8 years with my bow and this year started off like all the others did practicing a lot and then going out in the field and hunting. During practice I did amazing but for some reason this year I missed a lot of shots that I should never have missed and now I have a way different perspective on what I got going on and what I might do to work on it to make it go away thank you very much gentleman
I absolutely love the outdoors, im a fishing junkie, but hunting has been a hard one for me though. My biggest hurdle has been the act of taking an animals life. I do enjoy eating meat, so I could not go the vegetarian or vegan route, its just not for me. But I am extremely turned off with factory farming and buying meat from the grocery store. I absolutely love animals, so killing one is the hardest thing for me. But listening to Donnie and his take on hunting is helping me to reconsider hunting. I see it in a whole new light. I love hearing how he cares for and respects animals the way he does. I want to get into hunting for the sole purpose of not buying meat from the grocery store, but I want to do it in the most respectful and responsible way possible. Im not looking to just fill the freezer if you know what I mean. Its gonna be hard for me to take the life of an animal, thats gonna be a hard thing for me to deal with. But all in all, I really enjoyed this episode.
The whole public praivte thing I see no issue with being curious. I enjoy seeing success anyway but denying the obvious in terms of having 300 plus bills running everywhere on a ranch isnt reality. It is awesome but not reality for many. I see no issue with wanting to know.
