Oh, it was absolutely incredible. Absolutely incredible. We were in a herd at one point, so I had sort of explored hunting with other people, but really gotten into it, done a bunch of trips with Andy, which is just really cool to share that with your partner. I've gotten...

my own animals now, just a few, but that's been really rewarding to be able to then eat those later in the year, to pack it out yourself, to clean it yourself, and share that experience with friends. And it's just you have adventures. It's really cool. So I definitely love it. I've gotten more and more into it. I want to try eventually to archery hunt.

Just how close we got to some of the animals was Really, really cool.

And he was rifle hunting, but we were close enough where he could have archery hunted. I might have been able to hunt with an axe.

We were just crouched down. I thought the thing was going to run us right over. And then two herds ran into each other, and we were in the middle of them just running through the woods all around us just screaming. Full elk party. Yeah, it was crazy. It sounds prehistoric. So that was just incredible. So that's just, yeah, that's a really special place.

But even just walking around in Montana, I enjoy shed hunting. I know you don't love that quite as much. We just call it hiking. You get it. Figured out it's about five miles for every antler you find, but I love it. It's fun.

I'll go. It's a purpose. But anyway, yeah. So I guess to truly get into it, yeah, definitely Andy got me more into it. And we worked with some guides or friends that got us on animals and gave me the opportunity to... get something and sometimes with a film crew, which was super stressful because I haven't shot a lot long distance. I did better this year with all my prep.

I just, I should have done more physical training, like at least eight weeks before Utah. That was a huge mistake, but I won't make that again. Next time we're going, I'm going to be more ready. No, it's just, it's chasing around these guys. Everybody's like six feet tall, some kind of extreme athlete in their life. And I'm just running after everyone. Like it's just, it's ridiculous.
