Order of Man - 5 Lessons Learned Hunting in Hawaii ｜ FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

00:00:00.000 You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears and boldly chart

00:00:04.980 your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time.

00:00:10.440 You are not easily deterred or defeated. Rugged. Resilient. Strong. This is your life. This is who

00:00:17.160 you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,

00:00:22.720 you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Michler.

00:00:27.660 I'm the host and the founder of the Order of Man podcast and movement. Welcome here today.

00:00:32.740 This is your Friday Field Notes. If you're just joining us, the Friday Field Notes is

00:00:37.180 some rambling, some thoughts, some ideas, the things that have been bouncing around in my brain

00:00:41.820 over the past week. We also have an interview show where we interview guys like Jocko Willink and

00:00:47.680 Andy Frisilla and Tim Kennedy and Tim Tebow and Ben Shapiro and Terry Crews, Matthew McConaughey,

00:00:55.880 the guys that we've had on the podcast are absolutely incredible. And I've got some really,

00:01:01.080 really good podcasts lined up moving forward. We just had Matt Boudreau on last week to talk about

00:01:07.320 the power of alternative education. So if you're interested in that, make sure you check that out.

00:01:12.420 And as I said, we have some great guests coming up. So make sure you subscribe so you never miss

00:01:17.080 an episode. We have also got our Ask Me Anything. I've been unavailable for our Ask Me Anythings,

00:01:23.420 which come out on Wednesdays because I've been gone. I've been traveling a little bit with some

00:01:27.500 hunts, which is exactly what I'm going to talk with you about today. Before I get into some

00:01:31.580 lessons that I've learned over the past week and a half of hunting in Hawaii, I do want to share with

00:01:36.100 you that we have exactly one more week of the Iron Council being open for enrollment. That's it.

00:01:43.420 Once we close it down, we're closing it down for three or four months and we won't open it up again

00:01:47.200 until sometime in the fall. So if you've ever thought about banding with other men,

00:01:52.760 building in some accountability into your life, finding value-driven men, guys like you on the

00:01:58.200 same path as you, maybe different in the way they see things or the way they go about doing it,

00:02:02.580 but all trying to get to the same destination, becoming a more effective father, husband,

00:02:07.140 business owner, community leader, then you want to check out the Iron Council. We operate in 12-man

00:02:12.440 teams called battle teams. You're going to get assignments. You're going to get challenges. You're

00:02:16.200 going to be held accountable. You're going to have opportunities to lead, obviously yourself,

00:02:20.040 but other men in the Iron Council. There's a book of the month that we go through together.

00:02:25.060 Guys are meeting up locally and regionally. So it's an incredible, incredible opportunity to find

00:02:29.920 like-minded men, excuse me, and connect with them in a powerful and meaningful way that'll help

00:02:36.120 improve your life. So again, one more week and that's it. We're closing it down. Don't message me in

00:02:40.940 10 days and say, Hey, I missed it. Can I? No, the answer is no, because we want you to go

00:02:45.940 through with a group who's just getting started and we've got a great system to get you up to speed

00:02:50.080 quickly. So you can check it out at orderofman.com slash iron council, orderofman.com slash iron

00:02:56.480 council. All right, guys. So let's get into my five lessons learned from hunting in Hawaii.

00:03:03.460 I go to Hawaii every year. I hunt access deer on the Island of Molokai. And then I will usually head

00:03:10.740 over to the big Island and we'll do a sheep or a pig or a goat hunt. This time I did a goat hunt

00:03:15.920 with another friend of mine. And so it was an incredible opportunity. It is every year.

00:03:20.240 I love going over there. I love hunting. I love trying to become a more effective,

00:03:24.880 proficient hunter and provider for myself and my family. And this is a big part of my life.

00:03:29.660 So I took that opportunity and I'm coming to you with some lessons learned, some things that went well,

00:03:35.440 and some things that, you know, didn't work out exactly the way that I would have hoped and expected.

00:03:40.540 So the first thing I want to tell you is guys, you've got to carve out time for yourself.

00:03:44.460 All right. You're so busy and inundated with life and work and projects and chores and parenting and

00:03:51.340 everything else that you have going on. That is all noble, right? It's all noble. It's all things

00:03:58.240 that you should be doing. But if you're not carving out time for yourself, you are going to burn up

00:04:04.560 and you're going to burn out and you're going to end up exploding. You're going to end up

00:04:08.060 saying things you don't mean. You're going to make stupid decisions because you're exhausted and you're

00:04:12.300 burned out and you're just not going to be as effective with the factors of life, the areas

00:04:19.480 in life in which you operate. So you have to find time for yourself. Now, I'm not saying that you need

00:04:25.520 to take a week and a half every year and go to Hawaii. If that's in the cards or if that's something

00:04:29.980 you want to do, then obviously you should consider it. But it might just mean a three or four day

00:04:34.420 weekend. I did an interview, kind of an ask me anything episode with my wife a couple of weeks

00:04:39.940 ago. And we talked about the importance of taking care of ourselves independently of our spouse and

00:04:47.440 other obligations and responsibilities. So I went to Hawaii with my friends, not with her, not with

00:04:53.320 my family, with my friends. And I spent time there. My wife takes long weekends or four or five days

00:04:59.280 and goes and does a sibling weekend she did months ago, or we'll go visit her family, which she did a

00:05:04.140 couple of weeks ago. These are all things that each of us believe are extremely important, not only

00:05:09.320 for the health and sanity of ourselves, but also so that we can more adequately and fully serve

00:05:15.200 our families and the other obligations and responsibilities that we have. I'm coming back

00:05:19.740 rejuvenated, recharged. I got a break. I got to spend time with some friends. I got to do something

00:05:25.260 that I enjoyed. And now I come back into it a little behind, a little stress, quite honestly,

00:05:30.160 but able to tackle it because I've got the emotional, spiritual self buckets filled up so

00:05:39.080 that I can now more adequately, more fully pull, pour into my family, my friends, my business,

00:05:46.200 et cetera. So communicate with your wife. In fact, I would encourage you today, this week to tell her,

00:05:52.540 Hey hon, we need to take some time for ourselves and get your calendars out and figure out a three or 0.99

00:05:58.940 four day weekend that you can go wherever it is you want to go. Maybe you want to go on a hunting

00:06:03.980 trip or a fishing trip, or you want to go do a hike, or you want to go camping. I don't know,

00:06:09.900 whatever your thing is and call up a couple of friends and you guys go do it yourselves and get

00:06:15.140 away from the family for three or four days. And also make sure she gets time for herself on the

00:06:20.500 calendar. Cause I promise you, I promise you, she's going to come back better, more able to serve in

00:06:27.020 her capacities and her roles that she does within the dynamic of your walls. So that's number one

00:06:31.180 is make sure that you're taking care of yourself. Number two is that you have to find and surround

00:06:38.440 yourself with value-driven men, like-minded men, guys that you admire, guys that you respect,

00:06:46.500 men you want to spend more time with, guys who are knocking it out of the park in certain facets of

00:06:51.800 life that you do. If you know a great family man, you should spend time with that guy. If you know

00:06:56.060 a great businessman, you should spend time with that guy. The couple of friends I went with are

00:07:00.680 both family men. They're both extremely, extremely successful in business. And I didn't go with the

00:07:07.720 anticipation of having them coach me, but at the same time, conversations were had about family and

00:07:14.820 how to be a father and how to be a husband and how to lead our wives and how to run a business and how

00:07:19.640 to turn it into greater business opportunities, which will increase income, which increases

00:07:25.060 flexibility and other opportunities that will present themselves. So surround yourself with

00:07:30.160 these guys. And if you put together some sort of a weekend or a week-long hunt, what's cool about

00:07:36.300 that, and I've done this countless times, is I'll put together a hunt. I've got that lease in Hawaii.

00:07:41.400 I can bring up to five other men. And this is a beautiful thing. I don't have to do a one-to-one

00:07:47.260 type thing because sometimes that's awkward to call a guy and say, Hey, can we hang out? It's

00:07:50.700 like a date almost. Instead, I'll say, Hey, I've got six of us going to Hawaii or going on this hunt

00:07:57.020 or going on this camp out or going on this trip, or I've got a foursome for golf this Saturday and I

00:08:01.940 need one other guy. And it's a great opportunity to hand select men that you admire, men that you

00:08:07.900 respect, and maybe even somebody you want to get to know a little better or consider inviting into

00:08:13.800 your circle. I get so many questions about how to build your band of brothers and how to find

00:08:18.440 other men. This is how you do it. All right. Nobody else is going to do it, which means that 0.77

00:08:23.860 you're going to have to do it yourself, but also it leaves the field wide open. If you're the guy

00:08:30.100 who's putting the thing together, then it's inevitable that you're going to become the go-to

00:08:34.740 guy for these types of events. And you get to cherry pick and hand select who you want to spend time

00:08:40.020 with. And if somebody jives with the group, they keep coming back. If not, no, no worries. You invite

00:08:46.540 somebody else next time. Guys, it's an amazing, amazing way to build a band of brothers, to get to

00:08:52.800 know people, to get mentoring, to get coaching, to even just absorb some of their personality or the

00:09:00.780 way that they show up or the way they handle themselves. And I was inspired by the couple of guys

00:09:06.720 that I was with this past week. And I learned some things about the way that I want to show up for my

00:09:11.460 family and in my business and in my community. And I had some conversations where we didn't

00:09:17.080 necessarily agree. And some of our debates and exchanges got heated, but never any ill will. But

00:09:23.820 these were great conversations that I could have with guys who made me better. You have to find other

00:09:29.680 men. So many guys are going at it alone. And because they are, they're leading inferior lives.

00:09:37.100 If you don't have somebody else there, there's nobody else to bounce ideas off of. There's no

00:09:42.780 new inputs or stimulus into your brain, into your soul, in the way that you're going to show up.

00:09:48.700 Business opportunities. In fact, there's a great business opportunity that presented itself

00:09:53.400 this past week and a half while I was hunting because I was there and I invited the right people.

00:09:59.000 And business opportunities present themselves. This is where it happens, guys. So get around

00:10:03.960 other men, invite other men, and you're going to have to do it. They're not going to do it. I promise

00:10:09.620 you. Everybody talks about it and nobody does it. But if you learn to become that guy who puts

00:10:15.500 together the event, does the logistics, coordinates it all, pays for it up front. I'm not saying you have

00:10:19.900 to pay it all because these guys can contribute, but I'm saying you pay for it up front and get these

00:10:24.260 guys to pay you for it. It's the world is at your fingertips. It just opens itself up and you become

00:10:31.440 invaluable because nobody else, everybody wants it and nobody's going to do it. That's the way that

00:10:35.840 you create opportunities. If people want something and they're not going to do it for themselves and

00:10:40.520 you become that answer, you make yourself powerful, valuable, obsolete. Okay. Or not,

00:10:48.520 not, not, I should say not obsolete, meaning you're needed. All right. Number three is you have to

00:10:56.940 manage expectations. So while I was on this hunt, it didn't really go according to plan for the first

00:11:03.060 six days of the hunt. And I missed a couple of shots on some axis deer in Hawaii. And I was very

00:11:07.980 frustrated and, um, I've seen other people get very frustrated, not only on this hunt, but other

00:11:13.800 hunts and every, every other part of life. And I can't help, but think that the reason that we get

00:11:18.460 so upset with ourselves or with the situation is because we don't have a healthy sense of expectations

00:11:27.000 around what it's going to take to be successful in any venture. So I've been dealing with a little

00:11:33.680 minor injury. I'm having surgery this week on it. Uh, and I was very hesitant of shooting my bow

00:11:40.000 leading up to this hunt because I didn't want to put any undue stress or pressure on my injury,

00:11:46.900 which is my, uh, uh, uh, pectoral tear. And so I've been very hesitant to do that. Um, so I really

00:11:54.000 haven't been shooting that my bow that much. And I got out there and because I missed several deer,

00:11:59.560 it was pretty evident that I hadn't shot. And that was my fault. I, I missed or messed up on the

00:12:09.100 expectation of what it would take. I thought I could just go up and show up and stick a couple

00:12:14.740 of deer, great, clean shots, put food in my freezer, have some stories to share, take a picture,

00:12:20.880 do the thing. Right. And it didn't work out like that because my expectations were off.

00:12:25.520 And I've seen a lot of men throw temper tantrums. I've seen a lot of men like completely melt down

00:12:33.020 and blow up. And I've seen so many different things on hunts and other facets of life because

00:12:38.120 the expectations weren't set and they didn't know what it would take. And it didn't pan out the way

00:12:44.840 that they had envisioned. And then their whole world falls apart. It's wild. And I've been there.

00:12:49.860 I've done the same thing. I've thrown that temper tantrum. I've blown up at people around me

00:12:54.340 because I didn't do what I should have done, which in this case was prepare a little better for the

00:13:01.420 hunt and then perform a little better. Right. And especially under pressure, you know, you're out

00:13:07.440 there and you have this small target and it's important to you and, and you pride yourself on

00:13:12.960 being somebody who can successfully complete a hunt and then it doesn't work out. And all of those

00:13:19.160 unnecessary burdens and expectations that we place on ourselves just pile on and pile on and pile on.

00:13:27.340 And you might be able to shoulder that weight for a long time because you're strong, you're mentally

00:13:32.800 tough, you're emotionally stable, you're physically strong. And so you can handle it, but then there's

00:13:37.280 one little experience and it just puts that little extra weight on your shoulders and you crumble.

00:13:42.820 So manage the expectations and then whatever the expectations are. And I'll tell you this,

00:13:48.680 the expectation should always be that it's going to be harder than you think it is.

00:13:52.780 Everybody thinks it's going to be easy. Everybody thinks that if they show up and just,

00:13:57.340 and just do it, that they're going to perform. And that's not the case ever. It's going to be

00:14:01.740 harder than you think you're going to perform less than you're capable of. Be aware of that.

00:14:07.360 And then what you do is you bridge the gap between what the reality of the situation is

00:14:12.540 and where you currently are. And that's what I failed to do. I didn't think about what it would

00:14:18.560 take, or I didn't remember what it would take from last year. And I failed to plan. And then the

00:14:24.100 result was spoke for itself. Now I got dialed in eventually, but it took me longer than it should

00:14:31.840 have if I would have been planning and preparing and managing those expectations. All right. Number four,

00:14:36.580 along the same lines. So again, I was out there for, uh, six days hunting axis deer,

00:14:43.520 and then two days hunting goats on the big Island. And I had missed a couple of shots early on in the

00:14:48.260 week. It was like three for three days or so. And I, I just, I'm a pretty decent shot. I practice a

00:14:55.000 lot. I didn't leading up to the event or the hunt, as I told you, because of the injury I'm dealing with

00:14:59.820 didn't want to agitate that and make it worse. Uh, so I was, I was very cautious of that.

00:15:06.160 And I just missed a couple of shots, but I shouldn't, they were shots I should have made.

00:15:12.220 And I couldn't figure out why that was the case. Well, a couple of days later I decided, okay,

00:15:15.600 well, here's what I'm going to do. I'm actually going to go shoot my bow, which I know is sounds

00:15:20.980 ridiculous looking at it now, but for whatever reason, I didn't shoot when I got there.

00:15:25.640 And I realized I shot arrow after arrow, after arrow, I shot about seven or eight arrows

00:15:30.720 and they were all low at 50 yards. And I realized that whether my site got bummed or,

00:15:36.440 you know, something, maybe my peep site got, got changed. Something happened where my bow was

00:15:42.640 shooting five yards short and surprise, surprise, the couple of deer that I missed, it was under them.

00:15:48.480 It was right under them at their feet, at their knees. I'm like, what is going on? Okay. Well,

00:15:53.920 I made my adjustments and I was able to do better. And the point that I'm making is that guys,

00:15:59.640 we have to check our equipment, right? If you go into battle or a performance or a job interview

00:16:05.940 or a client presentation, like make sure you check your equipment. There's a great quote.

00:16:12.580 And I can't remember who says that we are, I'm paraphrasing. We are tool wielding animals

00:16:17.240 with tools. We are everything without them. We are nothing, right? That's one of the things

00:16:22.200 that really separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom is our ability to fashion tools.

00:16:27.840 And I'm using it right now. I'm using a computer. I'm using a camera. I'm using a microphone. I've

00:16:31.860 got a pen here and I've got paper and I've got notepads and I've got books and I've got this

00:16:35.840 little dashboard here. I've got so many tools around me when I'm on a hunt. I've got a highly

00:16:41.700 precise bow. I've got machined arrows. I've got broadheads that are supposed to be functioning

00:16:47.680 correctly. And the flexing should be working properly. And my knock should be accurate.

00:16:53.080 And like, these are all tools that we have to be able to complete a task. And I failed to check

00:16:58.960 my equipment before I went out into the field. And lo and behold, I messed up

00:17:04.780 because I didn't check my equipment properly. I was telling a couple of guys in the iron council

00:17:10.240 about this experience. And I said that there's a great movie. A lot of you guys have probably

00:17:15.500 watched it called The Ghost in the Darkness. And Val Kilmer plays, I believe he's an engineer

00:17:21.260 tasked with building a bridge across a river in a very harsh part of Africa. And there ends

00:17:33.080 up being, and I don't want to give any way any spoilers, it's old. It's like 30 plus years

00:17:36.620 old probably, but I don't want to ruin it for you guys. If you haven't seen it, it's called

00:17:39.820 The Ghost in the Darkness. But there ends up being a lion problem that they need to deal

00:17:45.480 with. So Val Kilmer goes out to hunt this lion. Well, he goes with a professional hunter played

00:17:51.560 by Michael Douglas. And before he goes out, the doctor of the village gives Val Kilmer's character

00:17:57.480 a gun and says, here, use my gun. It's more powerful than yours, and you'll need it when you

00:18:03.120 go out there. So he grabs that gun, he goes out there, and he has an opportunity to kill

00:18:09.480 this lion. And his firearm malfunctions. And he ends up almost being eaten by a lion. That

00:18:16.920 doesn't happen. And Michael Douglas's character afterwards says, what happened? And Val Kilmer

00:18:22.980 said something like, yeah, my gun didn't work properly. And he asked, has that happened before?

00:18:29.420 And Val said, no, it's so-and-so's gun. And Michael Douglas's character says, you went into

00:18:35.120 battle with an untested weapon and just kind of scolds him and chastises him for doing that.

00:18:42.200 And I couldn't help but have that thought ring in my head as I tried to shoot deer and kept missing

00:18:47.640 low because I didn't check my equipment. What's interesting is I do it every time I do a podcast,

00:18:55.100 right? I get into Zoom like I am right now, and I pull it up, and I do a test of my audio,

00:18:59.080 and video, and make sure it's working correctly. I have some contingencies built in place to make

00:19:04.200 sure I don't miss any recordings because this is important to me. And if it's important to you,

00:19:09.240 then you're going to check your equipment, your rifle, your bow, your computer, whatever

00:19:14.420 presentation material you use when you're on a client appointment, your technology, you're going

00:19:19.020 to check all of that to make sure that when it's time to perform, and that window is small,

00:19:24.560 like you have a very small window, whether it's hunting or performing or presenting for a client,

00:19:29.000 that window of performance is small, and you only get one shot. So, you better make sure you're

00:19:35.440 ready. You better make sure your expectations are clear. You better make sure you've trained properly,

00:19:40.740 and you better make sure your equipment is working correctly. All right, that's number four.

00:19:46.120 And then the last one, guys, is persistence. You know, I was very frustrated. It wasn't working out

00:19:52.180 the way that I wanted to. I had opportunities. I missed opportunities. Very, very frustrating.

00:19:58.720 But I didn't get down on myself. You know, I have done that in the past. I just chalked it up to a

00:20:03.800 failure, closed the chapter on that, you know, section of the hunt, and then went back out the

00:20:09.220 next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day. And so, I was gone

00:20:14.300 for, I think, nine days. And on the eighth day, yes, well, yeah, it was the eighth day. On the eighth

00:20:21.640 day, me and a buddy of mine, Rick Trimmer, went out, and we were on the Big Island, now hunting

00:20:28.680 goats. I didn't get my access to here, unfortunately, because of all the mess-ups I just told you.

00:20:33.260 And so, we go out, and I've got a friend on the Big Island who couldn't go with us, but he gave us

00:20:38.700 access to a piece of property that we could hunt. Lots of goats over there. So, we get in, we pull in,

00:20:45.020 and we walk for probably 10 minutes, and there's a little knoll that we come up to. And when we both

00:20:50.560 thought, well, let's go stand on that knoll. We'll sit up here. We'll glass. We'll try to find these

00:20:54.780 goats, and then we'll cut them off, and hopefully, we can make a shot. Well, we get to this knoll,

00:20:59.300 and my buddy's up front, and he's very tall. He's 6'4", 6'5". And he saw the goats right over the hill.

00:21:05.760 He's like, oh, there they are, right there. And so, we both hunker down, and I come around the

00:21:11.420 other side of the hill, and the goats spot us, and they kind of freeze. And I drew back my bow,

00:21:19.200 and they kind of start to take off a little bit, and one's moving, and it was about 20 yards,

00:21:24.940 and I smoked this thing. And I was so grateful. It happened within 20 minutes of our hunt

00:21:30.900 on the goats. And I was so grateful that I didn't get pissed at myself, that I didn't

00:21:37.520 throw in the towel, that I didn't break my equipment, which I've done like in golf. You

00:21:41.640 know, you make a bad shot, and you throw your club, or you bash it on the ground, and you break

00:21:45.320 your equipment, or you just get down on yourself, or you put too much pressure on yourself, and you

00:21:50.220 dwell on past mistakes that you can't perform when another opportunity presents itself. And guys,

00:21:55.340 it will. Okay, we're all going to miss shots in life, whether you miss the promotion, or

00:22:00.620 you miss the girl, or you miss that, or you miss this, whatever. Chalk it up, learn from

00:22:05.440 it, and then get your butt back in the game, so that when another opportunity like this did

00:22:10.600 presents itself, you can capitalize. So, that happened on day eight, and then my buddy ended

00:22:15.300 up shooting, Rick ended up shooting a goat a little later, maybe an hour or two later after

00:22:20.000 I did, we got into him again. And then the next day, we went back out, and I'm sitting

00:22:25.720 on this hill, and they're supposed to come into the ravine. That's what they did the day

00:22:30.640 before, but this time, I heard them behind me, the goats behind me. And so, I slowly make

00:22:36.100 my way up over this hill, and they spot me. All the goats spot me. I'm like, man, I was

00:22:40.260 really trying to go after a billy goat this time. They spot me. So, I kind of hunker down,

00:22:45.240 and I sit still for about 10 minutes. Well, it seemed like a lot longer. Maybe it was

00:22:50.360 even shorter. Anyways, they finally start to bed down, and I slink down this hill, and

00:22:55.200 I get behind probably a 20 or 30-foot vertical wall where they can't see me, and I slowly

00:23:01.140 make my way over there. And I make my way to the end where they're coming, and they didn't

00:23:07.240 see me, and they start walking, and I measure it. It's 75 yards, which is not a guaranteed

00:23:14.760 shot for me. 20 yards is not a guaranteed shot for me or anybody, really. Anything

00:23:19.300 could go wrong. And one of the nannies starts to cross at 75 yards. Another one, I'm like,

00:23:24.840 okay, well, here comes the billy goat. I kind of peeked around the corner, and I saw him

00:23:27.940 where he would come, and I'd have a clear shot. So, I draw my bow back. He goes right

00:23:33.080 where I ranged. I knew it was 75 yards. I was about to take my shot, and a nanny walks in 1.00

00:23:39.780 front. So, I stop. She runs by, and I make this shot at 75 yards, smoked him, and he runs

00:23:48.160 off. We ended up having to put another arrow into him to kill him, but it worked out, right?

00:23:54.100 That second goat, and I got my billy goat, which is something I've been trying to do for

00:23:58.140 a couple of years now, two or three years now. And again, two shots right there, one the day

00:24:06.540 before, one the day after, and we made it happen. It started to come together. Persistence,

00:24:12.620 guys, is the key. You know, you can miss shot after shot after shot after shot, and then

00:24:19.380 you start to believe that you suck at something, right? If you always miss the promotion or the

00:24:25.040 client doesn't sign up with you, and that happens over and over and over again, it's so easy to get

00:24:30.960 discouraged and get down on yourself that you will actually start to sabotage yourself when

00:24:36.800 new opportunities present. Don't allow that to happen. Don't allow that past stuff to sit and dwell

00:24:46.920 and fester inside of your brain. Just let it go. Close the chapter. Figure out what you need to learn,

00:24:55.240 and then move on to the next chapter and write a new chapter of your life. But you have to be

00:25:00.520 persistent. You have to be willing to let some of those failures and those mistakes go. And you

00:25:06.320 have to be looking for new opportunities, not with 100% confidence, because how could you? But sure

00:25:12.520 that you can perform when the task requires it. So those are my lessons, guys. Lots more, lots more

00:25:19.680 stories and everything else. But these are five things that I pulled away from the hunt. Had a great

00:25:25.320 time. Successful last two days. Unsuccessful first six days. But I'm going back out next year,

00:25:31.700 and I'm going to make it happen next year. That's my goal. And if it doesn't, I'm going to learn

00:25:36.100 something else. But ultimately, guys, it's about spending time with people you care about. It's

00:25:40.760 about getting yourself around good people. It's about filling your cup so you can more adequately

00:25:45.060 fill into others. It's about being persistent, checking your equipment, making sure that you're

00:25:51.020 managing expectations, all the things I shared with you today. I hope that helps, guys. Please

00:25:55.280 let me know what you think. Share this. Take a screenshot. Share this on Instagram. Yeah, just

00:26:01.100 let people know what you think, what your lessons are, what you've learned through hunting or other

00:26:06.420 facets of life, because that's what the order of man is all about. We're all here to serve and help

00:26:10.220 and uplift each other. And that's requiring me to share this information and also requires you to

00:26:17.020 share as you have these lessons and struggles and victories and setbacks and all sorts of stuff in
