Today, Dan sits down with fellow passionate bowhunter Zach from western Oregon to break down his pursuit of a high-country public-land blacktail. The conversation goes beyond tactics and terrain, diving into the often unspoken reality of hunting as a selfish pursuit—and how it can evolve into something deeper and more spiritual. Together, they unpack the balance between work, family, and time in the mountains, and challenge listeners to examine the why behind their hunt. This episode is an honest reflection on purpose, discipline, and what the pursuit truly gives back.
