In this episode, Josh and I dive into what it takes to balance family commitments with our love for hunting and the thrill of another season on the horizon. We talk about the grit and adaptability needed when chasing deer with traditional bows and how those tools demand patience and a good eye for movement. We swap stories of hard lessons learned on out-of-state hunts, where expectations often clash with reality, and how staying flexible in the woods is everything.
Josh talks about the wear and tear of long hunts, the mental game that can keep you focused, and how stoicism fits into our lives both on and off the hunt. We also get into the importance of humility and resilience out there, appreciating each moment, and how these same principles apply to raising our kids. Whether you're a die-hard bowhunter or just looking for insight on staying grounded, there’s something here for you
