Summary

Patrick J. Walsh did not grow up in a hunting family, he has zero hunters in his circle of friends or colleagues. By day, he's an attorney and part owner of a local gym. I've been aquainted with him for several years, running into him at CrossFit competitions and answering a few random texts from him periodically about hunting. Well, this year he decided to try bowhunting elk after a couple of years of learning how to shoot a bow and messing with local whitetail deer hunting. My mind was and still is kind of blown that a guy in his later thirties was attracted to the idea of taking time away from his beautiful wife and stressful job, and go cut his teeth on public land over-the-counter elk hunting in Idaho. I sit down with him and engage in a conversation on how he got interested in the idea of doing his own killing with a bow on public land. Let's be honest here, a guy like him could probably afford a sweet guided elk hunt on some amazing privage ranch ground, yet he chose to do it the hard way and I dig in to find out why. This is one of my favorite recorded conversations, you're going to learn something on this episode!

0:35.8	Welcome to Elk-Shay podcast. Hey, me, Dan the Fitnessman, it's been a while.
0:42.5	Hopefully, you understand I was out doing that thing that you do in September called El Cunning.
0:49.8	Actually, I did it a little bit in August and pretty much most of September here and there,

1:09.9	Basically, I'm interviewing an attorney
1:13.2	who turned Bowhunter late in life. Yeah, that's right. This dude's 30-something years old. Nobody in his
1:20.9	friend circle hunts. He didn't grow up El Cunning, and the dude dude went elk hunting for his first time.
1:28.7	So it's one of those deals where I thought it would be extremely beneficial for
