Mental Toughness, GRIT, and Hardcore!

[Ryan Avery]

Western hunting can be hard. But damn, some of these hunting videos want you to believe they are climbing Everest.... gets old.

Tell me about the hunt, not about how tough you are.

 

[Pigdog]

Most guys I know who have real grit don’t talk about how tough they are, or how weak others are. I’d prefer shows about the hunt, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy a good “motivational” hunting video though.

I like to see guys pluck a critter out of high pressure areas with consistency. My hat is off to those guys. We complain about ATVS and wolves and yet 1500 yards away some guy just killed his 11th bull in 10 years in that area "riddled with ATV'S, wolves and lacking any critters."

No offense to the sheep hunters, but if you can dump 50k on a hunt, you can probably afford a sitter to make it to the gym a lot easier than the guy scratching together the special hunt application fees in his home state.

 

[ljalberta]

Agreed. I probably finish about 10% of the videos I start on YouTube these days.

No offense to the sheep hunters...yeah right!!! Good one

A man that can drive a Prius daily doesn't need to prove anything to anybody. Strap that deer to the roof, and roll on.

talk about how many vertical feet they ascended and descended more than the encounters they had with critters

you know there ain't no critters strapped to a prius the only deer or elk blood that's ever been on a prius was a collision with said animal.

one main problem heading west in a prius is getting 2 months off to hunt, one month of travel, and one to hunt

 

[MuleyFever]

One reason I don't watch many hunting videos.

 

[Trial153]

The worst part is most of them are full of shit, nobody is showing the argos and choppers they are paying the big bucks for.

 

[Dos Perros]

Randy Newberg’s half dead uncle killed a nice bull this year, so there’s that.

I mostly hunt alone but there's one guy I go with......

He acts out the whole "tough, grit, tactical advantage, dig deep brother, this is going the extra mile" so much that I'm sure I spook game from laughing my ass off.

Last time this happened we're sauntering along a slight incline, see a few fork horn mulies over a rise and I get an earful of "I don't know if you have what it takes to rise to the level of core fitness, this is where you dig deep, what the F are you made of?" Good entertainment.

Hahahaha. I don't really watch any hunting videos, because I just don't get most of it. But THAT does sound hilarious. I'll have to remember that for the next time I go with one friend in particular......

 

[HookUp]

Climbing mountains used to be "normal" until everyone got fat.

 

[Poser]

Just plain ol’ normal elk hunting.

 

[street]

I lol every time I hear Frank and Aron say "we climbed 6,000 vertical miles".

 

[S.Clancy]

Yea, it seems like everybody is packing in "8-12" miles and then packing multiple elk out...yea f***** right. We've packed a couple elk out a legit 6 miles and it sucks gorilla d***. I'm prob just a puss tho.
