Not sure I'd want to share much more here with all these basic average haters

Yall are average. Im not.
Keep on hating.



TLDR:

It’s natural to take pride in your talents, believe in yourself, or want to feel special. Self-confidence and self-esteem are indeed healthy traits to develop.

Grandiosity, however, takes these traits to the extreme.
A grandiose self-image might lead you to:
  • believe unique traits and talents set you above everyone else
  • consider yourself unstoppable, untouchable, or destined for great and important things
  • have persistent feelings of superiority
Over time, grandiosity can affect your relationships and harm your well-being overall.
As with any other personality trait or quality, grandiosity can manifest as a spectrum of behaviors and thoughts, or it may show up in specific situations only.
But since grandiosity can also be a symptom of certain mental health conditions, support from a therapist can make a big difference in some instances.

Wow. You bring it on yourself.

My apologies to the slide-carry on.
The "slide" is apparently a bunch of keyboard trolls. You can have it. I came here to buy some gear. You all have acronyms for 65yr old hunters from last season that you still hate on...?

Some great points here.

Having worked in the outdoor industry previously for close to 10 years and doing some guiding here and there, I have always found it very interesting coming across the egotistical/arrogant people that held themselves in such high regard because of their hunting achievements.

I personally really enjoy pulling off a grind of a solo hunt, especially with a bow. I think it is a great personal achievement, but it is also something that has been done for as long as people have been hunting. To say I am better than the next guy because of it, is pretty absurd in my opinion. Humility is just something that some people don't possess, but it is never too late to work on!

Maybe Ryan and Robbie can open a Hunting Psychology sub forum where we can dive deeper into these types of topics!

This isn't hurtful, it's pathetic.

You are eloquent and clearly experienced and I can respect where your coming from.

That being said, I'm supposed to sit here and take this BS from these one off keyboard ass clowns? F that. I defended myself and my position.

This started as me trying to help share what FITNESS I used to kill a sheep above Timberline solo and with a bow.

I'm not gonna bow down to you sliders cuz you post here often. I was trying to share what in my opinion was a waste of time in the gym for success hunting a ram. I clearly know now I am not welcome here and will share absolutely no details of any hunt past or beyond. Word of mouth is the new Technology. F all this internet BS no face sharing of ideas. Look where we are currently and this thread. I'm not gonna act humble when the first post is "cool story" .

Check yourself. I'll stay in my lane.

Tommy,

You’ve found the right website. You should throw up some pics of you in the high country shooting your bow. 🤣

Congrats on the ram!

@TommyTheCat5150 I'll do the fitness program, I'm stuck at 215lb.

40yo
Celiac
Like a tortoise
Also DADDY
5k+ a day
I like hot sauce
I have a Subaru

100% I'd like to get to 200lb and do a 14'er.

*Also in CO
Walk every morning before eating for 30 min to 60 min. The key is understanding how walking can be used to stretch and lengthen your stride, hamstrings, hip flexors and quads. You'll also be strengthening your ankles, calves and all the ligaments that connects the ground to your pelvis. Start at a moderate pace but incorporate walking sprints in every 2 min or so. This being done on an empty stomach will boost your metabolic rate and give you a high reward, low risk exercise. Eventually get a weighted vest or use a pack that's 20-30lbs. This will help with weight

Are "troll jobs" what you keyboard clowns give to each other cuz your wives won't bang you anymore with your C-pap masks?
