Order of Man - Men and The Humanity of Hunting ｜ FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

00:00:00.000 When you're taking animals out of the field, they're not genetically altered, they're not

00:00:06.060 pumped full of hormones and growth hormones to fetch a higher price for that animal. It's a

00:00:13.580 safer, more practical, more sustainable way of consuming your meat. That's part of the reason

00:00:21.100 it's so important that we look at why hunting can be so valuable. And not to mention, maybe even at

00:00:26.880 some point, depending on populations, being able to sell that meat as opposed to just having to

00:00:32.820 buy beef that was, you know, factory farmed.

00:00:37.600 Every time I talk about one of my hunting stories or post a picture of one of the hunts, I'm

00:00:43.200 inevitably met with a level of vitriol and disdain that continues to astound me. I think there is so

00:00:50.680 much misconception around the world of hunting that we generally, for those people who are

00:00:57.100 non-hunters, cannot imagine that most hunters, in fact, the overwhelming majority of hunters,

00:01:03.900 aren't cruel, heartless killers. In fact, all of the hunters that I know and all of the men that I've

00:01:11.380 hunted with are quite antithetical to what I think most non-hunters and those who hate the concept of

00:01:19.300 hunting would think. So I wanted to share some things with you. And the reason I wanted to share

00:01:24.720 these points that I'm going to address is for a couple of reasons. Number one, for those people

00:01:31.320 who are anti-hunting, I really want to shed some light because I don't think it's okay to have an

00:01:38.540 opinion without really knowing the data and the facts behind it. Now, some of the things that I'm going

00:01:43.540 to share with you, you might not agree with, but this is researched. I spent a lot of time figuring

00:01:49.340 out the information and the data behind why hunting actually makes sense and why it might actually be

00:01:55.420 better for the ecosystem than not hunting at all. So I do want to explain that. And I think those people

00:02:03.240 who are at least open-minded to the idea, not that they have to hunt, but might get some new information

00:02:07.860 that will help them be a little bit more informed when they start to share their opinions. The other

00:02:14.140 thing that I wanted to share and the reason this is important is because there are a lot of men who

00:02:17.440 I hear from every single week at this point who want to get into hunting. And I think sharing this

00:02:23.660 will help you understand not only why it's so important, but give you some talking points for

00:02:28.840 those people who might not agree with the idea of going out to procure your own meat. I've had two

00:02:35.840 conversations in the last day alone from men who want to go hunt, but their wives don't like the

00:02:41.500 idea of doing it. So I want to give those type of men and other men the ammo and the information they

00:02:48.420 need to be well-informed and also help others understand why it's not a bad thing. In fact,

00:02:54.320 it's very, very good according to the data and research for us as human beings to engage in hunting

00:02:59.860 practices. So what I'm going to share with you are a few different things, five things in particular,

00:03:04.700 and we'll go through each one. And I hope this is not too dry, but I really did some research on

00:03:08.500 this subject. So we're going to talk about number one, the cycle of life and the role of homo sapiens.

00:03:13.300 Number two, we're going to talk about the decency of an honorable death. Number three, the reverence

00:03:17.820 of eating what you kill. And number four, a culture of conservation. So let's just jump right into it.

00:03:24.680 The first thing that I want to tell you is that homo sapiens have been hunting for,

00:03:28.460 it looks like evidence suggests 2.6 million years. So this is not a new concept. This is not

00:03:35.940 something that we haven't been doing forever. There is some conflicting information that suggests

00:03:42.740 that maybe we were hunters, maybe we were gatherers, but there's evidence that shows tool marks on bone,

00:03:49.000 which means that we were as human beings cutting, breaking down, processing, butchering animals up to

00:03:55.500 2.6 million years ago. Now, the common argument is that we've evolved past that. No, we have not

00:04:02.620 evolved past that because of the cycle of life. And I'm going to give you some data here shortly.

00:04:08.100 One thing I don't want this conversation to be is hunting is good because I like it. Now I do.

00:04:13.940 And I think that's a compelling argument, but I want to give you all the data, all the information,

00:04:19.000 all the resources that I possibly can. So if you're talking with somebody else, or maybe you're an

00:04:24.080 anti-hunter yourself, it's more than just because I like it. But that being said, let me hit on one

00:04:29.960 bullet point here, is that this is a tradition. Men learned how to be men through hunting. We raise

00:04:37.180 our sons and daughters to go out to procure their own food. The lessons learned, the memories made,

00:04:42.680 the experiences had, the skills developed through hunting cannot be overstated. So let's not overlook

00:04:50.500 the idea that there's a lot of tradition in the world of hunting. And there's very important skills

00:04:54.860 and connections between human beings that are made through hunting processes. So let's talk about the

00:05:01.320 reasons and very specific reasons why it's so important that hunters do continue to hunt. I actually put

00:05:08.740 into one of an AI, I think it was chat GPT or perplexity. And I said, what would happen if human

00:05:17.200 being stopped hunting? And here's what it said. Number one, we'd have population imbalances. We'd

00:05:21.940 have habitat destruction. We'd have ecosystem chain reactions. We'd have human to wildlife conflict,

00:05:28.860 and we'd have economic and social impacts. So let's break each one of those down. If humans were to stop

00:05:34.920 hunting altogether, which is what I think a lot of people advocate for, or eating meat in general,

00:05:39.480 what would happen is we would have an overpopulation of certain species, which would then lead to

00:05:46.460 overgrazing. It would lead to habitat destruction. Many of these animals would starve and die off.

00:05:54.120 And so you'd actually see a lot more death if human beings did not hunt because of overpopulation,

00:06:01.020 overgrazing, habitat destruction, you know, not to mention that there's other habitat impacts.

00:06:07.340 So if there is overpopulation, then some of these lands that these deer, for example,

00:06:14.740 are grazing on or cattle are grazing on are going to impact that habitat and make it difficult for

00:06:21.040 birds and insects. Now, usually when people are anti-hunters, they're not anti-insect.

00:06:27.100 They'll go squash a spider in their house without thinking twice about it. But when it comes to acute

00:06:32.580 furry animal, that's where they take issue. So to me, that's not a very principled argument. That's

00:06:39.480 just one of subjectivity. Which animal are you okay with dying and which are you not? But if you're a

00:06:45.960 believer that all animals have the sanctity and dignity of life and creation, then it would be safe

00:06:53.700 to assume that applies to spiders and insects and birds as well as it does to deer and cow and bears,

00:06:58.860 etc. Also, in addition to that, I already said that you'd have human to wildlife conflict. So the

00:07:06.080 amount of car accidents that you'd see or predator attacks because of overpopulation would continue

00:07:13.760 to skyrocket. And of course, we'd see a lot of humans being injured, hurt and killed. And then of

00:07:19.620 course, you have the economic and social impacts. This one is big. There are so many areas that quite

00:07:25.160 literally are built on the back of the hunting industry. And you might say, well, that's not a

00:07:31.480 good thing. Well, it is a good thing if you scale out and broaden your perspective and look at the

00:07:35.820 grand scheme of things. If these areas are impacted socially and economically, then those people are

00:07:41.880 going to be in poverty. And if those people are in poverty, we're going to see rising crime rates.

00:07:45.860 You'll see lowering quality of life. You'll see a lowering of medical necessities and innovation

00:07:54.180 in those areas. And generally, people will be way worse off because of these losses of their

00:08:01.420 economic systems. We see this in Africa quite a bit. There's so many people that get frustrated that

00:08:07.900 quote unquote wealthy Americans go to Africa to hunt. They're building their economy in South Africa

00:08:14.960 and many other places. It's built largely on the back of hunting. And there's no way that those

00:08:20.680 people would have access to the things they have without hunters coming and paying to go on those

00:08:26.440 hunts. Not to mention, it actually keeps species alive. So the cycle of life is a very real and

00:08:33.100 important thing. Again, we don't want to have this overpopulation, habitat destruction, starvation,

00:08:38.560 these chain reactions that would take place. We are the apex predator. Human beings are at the top of

00:08:46.860 the food chain. And you are in the food chain, whether you want to be or not. We don't get to

00:08:51.080 absolve ourselves of it. Now, we can do this ethically, and we can do this responsibly, and we

00:08:56.340 should. And I'll talk more about that. But let's not pretend that we get to excuse ourselves from the

00:09:01.020 cycle of life. Let's talk about the next point, the decency of an honorable death. Again, I did some more

00:09:07.180 research, and I'll get into why killing animals in the field is significantly better across a lot of

00:09:13.280 different metrics than, for example, the slaughterhouse. But there is one elephant in the

00:09:17.260 room that I want to address, and that's trophy hunting. Every time I talk about hunting, people

00:09:22.400 say, I don't like trophy hunting. Now, I usually ask what trophy hunting means to them because there's

00:09:28.720 a common misconception that people just go around and just shoot animals, chop their heads off, and

00:09:34.560 throw them on the wall and leave the meat there. Now, some people do that. It's relatively few, and

00:09:39.720 that's called poaching. It's highly illegal, and ethical hunters do not condone that behavior. In

00:09:46.480 fact, we hate that behavior because it creates more problems for us, and it has a negative impact

00:09:52.280 on nature and the wildlife, which is important to us. So that's already illegal. Now, one thing I will

00:10:00.480 say about trophy hunting because there's another definition of it, and that means to take the

00:10:04.620 biggest, largest, most mature animal, kill it, take the meat, take the hide, take the organs, and then

00:10:12.020 keep the mount, the rack, the head, etc. Now, some people think this is grotesque and horrible, and I'm

00:10:19.360 here to tell you, again, humans have been doing this for millions of years. Usually what happens is that

00:10:26.480 a hunter or hunters goes out. The entire village doesn't go out. A hunter or hunters goes out, a

00:10:32.960 select few. They kill a few animals. They bring those animals back to the village, and they give the

00:10:39.380 meat to the village so everybody can eat, and they'll usually keep a memory or memento of the hunt. This

00:10:45.080 could be the rack. This could be the claws of a predator. It could be the backskin and hide, and then 0.95

00:10:51.540 they'll use it as a quote-unquote trophy. And that word is where people really get hung up. But what I

00:10:58.560 want you to know is it's not just about having this trophy. It's what it signifies. And again, for

00:11:04.480 millions of years, humans have been using hides, for example, for blankets or decorative clothing for

00:11:12.300 ritualistic ceremonies and dances. This is not a new concept. And so some people will get very upset that

00:11:20.340 hunters go out, spend money, and then donate the food and don't even eat it themselves. Humans have

00:11:26.900 been doing that forever because not everybody is a hunter. And by the way, I don't think everybody

00:11:31.080 needs to hunt. I do think that most men ought to experience it in some way and maybe even try it for

00:11:37.060 themselves, but I don't think it's something that you have to do. It's just a practice that I think you

00:11:42.320 might actually find a lot of value and improve quality of life from. So let's get over the idea of

00:11:48.520 trophy hunting the way that most people say it. It's already illegal to cut the head off of an

00:11:55.020 animal or cut the rack off of an animal, throw it in your truck, drive home, and leave the rest of the

00:11:59.820 meat there. You'll be prosecuted. You'll face heavy penalties and potentially even prison sentences for

00:12:06.780 behavior like that, which I think is good. We don't want that behavior. If somebody goes out to kill an

00:12:12.180 animal, they ought to find the biggest, largest, most mature animal they can because that's the animal

00:12:18.080 that has lived the longest, has lived the best life, has had the opportunity to pass down its genetics

00:12:24.000 through breeding. And that then animal needs to be taken from the herd. So the younger males can come

00:12:30.960 in and you're going to see a healthier, more robust, more genetically diverse species when that takes

00:12:39.000 place. So outside of that, I want to talk about the decency of an honorable death. So if we're going

00:12:46.180 to compare the two, which is what most people will look at, hunting, is that better? Or is a slaughterhouse

00:12:52.700 better? I think instinctively, intuitively, we would all agree that hunting is more, is better

00:12:58.880 on a different, a lot of different levels than the slaughterhouse. So here's why. Number one, quality of

00:13:05.100 life. The quality of life of an animal out in the field in nature is obviously significantly better than

00:13:10.140 an animal that's been bred inside of a very confined, very regulated barn or stall or wherever it might

00:13:20.980 be housed. So the quality of life is going to be better for that animal in nature. Now the nature of

00:13:26.420 death, also, you can make a case that an animal is going to be less stressed, less bothered if a hunter

00:13:36.260 goes out and makes an ethical shot. And that's what hunters try to do. Doesn't always work out like

00:13:40.980 that. I've made bad shots and I made great shots. But a hunter will go out and attempt to make an

00:13:46.260 ethical shot. An ethical shot means that you're hitting the animal in the vitals. And if you hit

00:13:51.440 the animal in the vitals, the heart, the lungs, the brain, potentially even the spleen, that animal is

00:13:58.340 going to die quickly with relatively low and minimal stress compared to an animal that's going into the

00:14:04.640 slaughterhouse to be killed. The next is food safety and the economic impact. Okay. Obviously, when you're

00:14:12.880 taking animals out of the field, they're not genetically altered. They're not pumped full of hormones and

00:14:21.000 these different chemicals and growth hormones to fetch a higher price for that animal. It's a safer,

00:14:30.220 more practical, more sustainable way of consuming your meat. So that's part of the reason it's so

00:14:38.920 important that we look at why hunting can be so valuable. And not to mention, maybe even at some

00:14:45.000 point, depending on populations, being able to sell that meat as opposed to just having to

00:14:50.720 buy beef that was, you know, factory farmed. There's a lot more other ways to do it. There's

00:14:57.080 sustainable ways. There's organic farming. There's a lot of that, but I'm just comparing hunting to

00:15:02.420 the slaughterhouse. And then of course, you know, there's, there's the economic impact as well. So

00:15:11.740 hunters pour literally billions of dollars into conservation efforts in the U S and we'll talk

00:15:19.300 about that. So the third component I want to talk with you about is the reverence of eating what you

00:15:24.360 kill. I looked up some data on this. This was very interesting. I had no idea, but the animals that

00:15:30.140 are killed in slaughterhouses usually lose anywhere from about 11.9% to just under 20% of the usable meat

00:15:39.680 is just wasted. It's wasted in trim. It's wasted in inefficient techniques, and it's just thrown away.

00:15:46.840 Now, I'm not going to tell you that isn't the case with hunting, but what I will tell you is that

00:15:51.180 as a hunter and everybody that I've been out with tries to maximize meat consumption, because if

00:15:58.280 you're going to go out and you're going to spend days and weeks, and you're going to spend hundreds

00:16:02.440 and thousands of dollars and all of your time and effort and energy into harvesting an animal,

00:16:07.400 you are going to be a lot more concerned with taking every little bit of meat that you can and using it.

00:16:15.180 And not to mention the hide, the organs, and everything else that is usable in different

00:16:21.380 ways, even the bones to make bone broth from. So you're not going to see that in a slaughterhouse.

00:16:28.640 I also looked at this. Humans waste 219 to 325 pounds per year of food. Now, that's not just meat,

00:16:37.660 but just food in general. And that represents roughly 30 to 40 percent of the food supply

00:16:44.700 is food waste. 30 to 40 percent of the food supply in the United States is just waste. It's food that

00:16:53.860 we're not eating. And this is what I found really interesting, because a lot of the times when you

00:16:59.080 have non-hunters, or I should say anti-hunters, because that's different. Non-hunters just haven't

00:17:04.340 done it or aren't interested. Anti-hunters don't want people hunting at all. Usually, you're going

00:17:09.140 to find that these people are going to be, at least they're going to say that they're more interested

00:17:13.860 in green resources, greenhouse emissions, inefficiencies, that sort of thing. And what I

00:17:24.040 found is that if we continue to waste food at the level that we are, here's what happens.

00:17:30.680 Greenhouse gas emissions will increase. Roughly 8 percent of greenhouse gas emissions comes from

00:17:38.880 food waste. That's wild to me. Of course, there's the resource waste. So taking that food, using

00:17:46.100 water, depleting minerals from the ground, also using land that doesn't need to be used in order to

00:17:56.280 create more and more food that we're just not going to consume. And then not to mention the

00:18:01.500 land degradation. You start pulling water from all these resources, all of the chemicals, and well,

00:18:09.900 I should say all of the minerals that are stripped away from the land, all the chemicals that are

00:18:13.780 introduced into the land, for 30 to 40 percent of our food consumption that we're not even going to

00:18:18.380 utilize. So what a waste. And obviously then there's just waste volume. Landfills, the amount of resources

00:18:26.340 that needs to go into maintaining these landfills, what that does to the land itself. It's actually a

00:18:33.260 really, really horrible practice that we waste 30 to 40 percent of our food. I remember when I was young,

00:18:39.720 my mom would always say, if I left food on the plate, they're starving people in China. Well, 0.99

00:18:44.180 it's actually worse than that. And here's the data behind it. Again, 30 to 40 percent of food supply

00:18:49.820 is waste, increased greenhouse gas emissions, resource waste, land degradation, and just the

00:18:56.180 waste volume, the sheer volume of waste alone. Now I'm telling you that you might be wondering why

00:19:01.000 I'm telling you that when it comes to hunting, because you're not going to have that level of

00:19:04.700 waste when it comes to hunting. Those animals are in nature. They're doing their thing. They're living

00:19:09.760 their lives. They're living off the land. We're not pouring any resources into ensuring that they're

00:19:16.340 getting the right nutrients and they're pumped full of hormones. And we're not putting up buildings and

00:19:22.000 things like that to get in the way in order to raise these animals. So nature is sustaining. It's a

00:19:28.120 sustainable resource as long as we protect it and we do our part. I'm going to talk about that here in a

00:19:33.220 minute. So we're not going to have nearly the same level of waste if we use and embrace hunting as a

00:19:41.060 more common practice relative to factory farming, big agricultural things. It creates a mess for food 0.50

00:19:50.280 that we're just not even going to use. All right. And the last thing, and I think this might be the most

00:19:55.640 important argument for people that are anti-hunter. It's a culture of conservation. Usually people think

00:20:03.200 again, if they're anti-hunting, that hunters are cold-blooded killers, that we don't care about

00:20:07.920 nature. We have no reverence or respect for animals and, and God's creation, no respect at all.

00:20:16.240 And I'm just here to tell you that is completely false. It's, it's so wildly inaccurate. I'm not even

00:20:22.900 sure why people believe it, but let's get to some data here. So hunters, and again, I used a chat GPT

00:20:30.280 and perplexity to figure out some of this data, but hunters have contributed in, in the U S $2.5

00:20:38.200 billion, $2.5 billion towards conservation efforts. Okay. 1.1 billion of that comes in the form of

00:20:47.960 excise taxes on firearms, ammunition, and archery equipment. Many people don't know that, that there

00:20:53.640 is an excise tax. I don't know if it's in every state or if this is a federal tax. I should look at

00:20:58.860 that. I don't know that right offhand, but I can find that data out later. But most people don't

00:21:03.940 know that hunters are actually spending more money than those people who say they're conservationists.

00:21:10.500 We put our money where our mouth is. 1.1 billion in excise taxes on firearms, ammunition, and archery

00:21:16.340 equipment. Another billion is spent on licenses. So you have over $2 billion alone in excise taxes on

00:21:24.760 firearms, ammunition, and archery equipment, and then $1 billion spent, over $1 billion on licenses.

00:21:31.060 Now, here's what else hunters do outside of the money that they contribute to the system. Number one,

00:21:35.880 population management. We already addressed that in the first thing. When I talked about the cycle of

00:21:40.380 life, we talked about the dangers of overpopulation. Well, hunters manage the population and we do it in a

00:21:46.980 regulated way. Now, it's not always done right, but every state has a wildlife department, game wardens,

00:21:56.980 but it's a department that is designed to manage and regulate wildlife populations and nature. So

00:22:05.280 we manage the population well because we want it to continue to be there. Number two, habitat preservation

00:22:12.700 and restoration. Let me give you an example. Not too long ago, within the last couple of months,

00:22:17.860 Senator Mike Lee from Utah introduced a bill to sell off between two and three million dollars,

00:22:24.220 or excuse me, million acres of public lands. It was largely hunters who pushed back on that and said,

00:22:30.980 we don't want our land sold to developers and individuals who are just going to keep that land

00:22:37.640 or build it out. We want to maintain that land for public use. Those were hunters doing that.

00:22:45.180 And the hunting community pushed so hard and so far back on Senator Mike Lee with this bill

00:22:50.860 that they eventually dropped the bill because it was so unpopular and just a horrible, horrible thing to

00:22:57.840 do with our lands. This is a great example of how hunters preserve habitat and not to mention

00:23:05.540 restoration. So you can take areas that maybe were over farmed or areas that have never been usable

00:23:14.120 and hunt, it's hunters who go in and build those lands up and have access to water and, and make sure

00:23:22.100 those, those lands are sustainable for wildlife so that they can eventually go in and hunt, not only

00:23:27.660 for themselves, but for future generations. And the last thing that I thought here that made sense to me

00:23:34.080 when it comes to a culture of conservation is that hunters are monitoring and reporting on what is

00:23:40.320 going well, what is not going well, who's creating problems, who isn't, where there is illegal activity,

00:23:46.440 et cetera, et cetera. Donnie Vincent, a friend of mine who's been on the podcast a couple of times now,

00:23:52.360 says something to the effect, and I'm paraphrasing, that you can't fix a problem unless you're close to

00:23:59.060 the problem. And so you can't fix a problem with nature and wildlife and hunting and animal

00:24:05.120 preservation. If you're over here on your high horse and you're looking out from somewhere that

00:24:11.540 the activity is not going on, it, you have to be in it in order to solve the problems. And that's

00:24:18.500 what hunters are. And that's what hunters are doing. So I've, I hope that gives you some insight.

00:24:23.880 So if you're, if you're a hunter, now you have more ammo to be able to have intelligent,

00:24:29.240 rational conversations with people who are anti-hunting. And if you are anti-hunting or maybe

00:24:34.640 even just skeptical about why this is so prevalent or what's the big deal. Now, hopefully through this

00:24:42.200 information, you have a little bit better idea of why hunting is so valuable above and beyond

00:24:47.740 because I like it, because it's fun, because I enjoy it. All of those things are probably true for most

00:24:52.820 hunters, but this is the information that I think people need to see and hear and read in order to

00:24:58.820 think differently about a practice that human beings have been engaging in for millions of years.

00:25:05.420 This is not a problem. It's not unethical. It's not immoral. In fact, if anything, according to this

00:25:11.820 data and this information I gave you today, it's actually very helpful, very ethical, and part of our

00:25:18.400 moral duty and responsibility as an evolved species, human beings. I hope that helps. Let me just recap

00:25:25.540 here. Again, we talked about the cycle of life and homo sapiens. We talked about how long human beings

00:25:31.940 have been hunting and population imbalances and chain reactions and habitat impacts. We also talked

00:25:38.680 about the decency of an honorable death. We talked about the reverence of eating what you kill and

00:25:43.260 specifically why it's so horrible that human beings are wasting 30 to 40% of their food consumption

00:25:49.560 and what that does to the world, the planet, greenhouse gas emissions, resource waste, land

00:25:56.640 degradation, and wasted volume. And then last, we talked about the culture of conservation. It's

00:26:01.820 important stuff, guys. I hope this helps. I deviated a little bit from what we normally talk about, but

00:26:05.880 I do think if you're a hunter, I'm glad that you are. If you're not a hunter, maybe you ought to try it.

00:26:12.900 If you're anti-hunting, maybe you ought to open your mind to the idea that it's not as bad as you

00:26:17.680 think it is or that you make it out to be. If you do want to get into hunting, and I'll give you this

00:26:21.560 as I part, a couple of things. Number one, find a friend who hunts. You might already have a friend

00:26:27.300 in your circle who is a hunter who already hunts, and if that's the case, ask them to go on a hunt

00:26:32.860 with them. Now, you might not hunt yourself, but you can help them find animals, you can help them break

00:26:37.500 it down, and you can see what hunting is all about without having to get your hands dirty, so to

00:26:42.660 speak. The other thing that you might want to do is to go on a high success hunt, a private hunt,

00:26:49.080 something that you purchase, like a hog hunt, or a turkey hunt, or a deer hunt, or maybe even,

00:26:55.860 you know, something like going to Africa and hunting there. I probably wouldn't suggest that as your first

00:27:00.480 hunt, but it's an option. If you go on a high success hunt with people who do it professionally,

00:27:05.960 the odds of you being able to harvest an animal are high, and you'll get to see the entire process

00:27:11.480 from stalking, and sitting, and finding them, to shooting one, to breaking it down, to eating it.

00:27:18.460 There's a really great resource a friend of mine, Greg Ray, owns. It's called From Field to Table,

00:27:23.060 fromfieldtotable.com. They've got hunts all over the country every single year, so check that out.

00:27:28.400 And the last thing you could do is you could go do it yourself. You can go to your local

00:27:31.740 wildlife management department, whatever they might call that in your state, and figure out

00:27:37.560 where you can hunt, figure out what you can hunt, figure out what the seasons are, get the licensing.

00:27:41.780 That's infinitely harder, especially if you've never done it, but the option is there. So there's

00:27:46.540 three ways you can get into hunting, and also, if you have any additional questions, you can email me,

00:27:51.260 ryanatorderofman.com, and the subject line, put hunting. ryanatorderofman.com, in the subject line,

00:27:57.680 put hunting. I'll get you some more information. All right, guys, that's all I've got. I will be

00:28:02.680 back next week. Until then, go out there, take action, consider getting into hunting, and become

00:28:06.700 a man you are meant to be.

00:28:08.300 Thank you for listening to the Order of Man podcast. If you're ready to take charge of your life and be

00:28:17.960 more of the man you were meant to be, we invite you to join the order at orderofman.com.
