Why Do We Hunt? Some Verbal Ammunition When Talking to Non-Hunters
Around the 14-minute mark of this recording, an exciting moment occurred. Initially, this was just a segment from one of the turkey hunting episodes, recorded during an evening with Mark Hall in the wall tent. If you're ever unsure how to explain your passion for hunting to those who don't understand it, this could be the ideal resource for you.
This was the second night of my recent turkey hunt, and the conversation that took place was too special to be overlooked. We continued a discussion from earlier that day, and it quickly became apparent that this conversation deserved to be its own episode.
Catching the perfect moment on tape is always thrilling, and in this case, we were able to capture it with an H4N Pro recorder and some stereo microphones.
The darkness outside was filled with the calls of geese and loons from the nearby lake, and the wood stove crackled in the background as we sipped whiskey. Whenever I find myself in these types of situations, it always leads to engaging conversations.
As we release this regular episode on Wednesday, John and Erin are busy packing their bags for their upcoming trip to the Yukon. They'll be fly fishing for huge Arctic Grayling above the 60th parallel, and we can't wait to share their experience with you. We hope you find this recording helpful and entertaining enough to share!
