Summary

Want to ruin your next hunt? Of course you don't! Especially if it is a special tag that you have been waiting for years to draw. A limited tag like that is something our guest for this episode, Josh Roy, drew and had the opportunity to use on a bull elk in Utah. The hunt was successful, but it wasn't everything it could have been. Josh's mindset and perspective affected how he viewed this hunt and ultimately left him feeling disappointed after the hunt, even though he killed a solid bull. Tune-in to hear how Josh's perspective has changed since that hunt and how we can ensure our mindset doesn't ruin our future hunts. https://ExoMtnGear.com/podcast

Rory. He, like you, is a listener of this podcast and he reached out to us about a topic

1:23.7

that we wanted to talk about that he raised, but then in talking to him, he had a great story

1:29.0

that relates to it. So we kind of flipped the script on him and he went from suggesting a topic

1:35.0

to us saying, hey, you have some experience, you have a story to tell, some lessons that you've learned,

for trophies. He had some help. Like this was a big hunt, but in the end, as you'll hear about in

his story, on this side of the hunt, he has some regrets about how he handled it and the mindset

2:06.9

he had going into it and basically how some of the trophy aspects of this hunt kind of ruined
