Summary

In this episode, Ryan Muckenhirn says he feels sad for people who live and party in big cities, Mark says “Intimate” an uncomfortable amount of times, and Jimmy talks about cars more than hunting. It’s hard to sum up this interesting podcast where we go deep into the human DNA to try and figure out why it is that we hunt. Mark and Ryan are die hard hunters who want to do and think about nothing other than chasing game (Or picking berries for Ryan, too). Meanwhile, Jimmy enjoys hunting, but has his own hard-wired obsession outside the sport. Is it bad to not be a hunting fanatic? Do we live in a much more specialized society today that has weeded out all but the most fanatical hunters? Are some people, regardless of exposure, simply more predisposed to become cold blooded hunters than others? What are your thoughts after listening to this one? Plenty more left on the table that could be talked about when discussing the human mind! As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast

Now, we felt, I guess when we were discussing the idea of bringing this topic up, we thought,

0:43.0

you know, well, to some that may seem a bit like a snooze fest,

0:46.1

it's sort of like, well, that's a very personal thing for, you know, why I hunt,

0:49.1

why Mark hunts, why Ryan hunts.

0:50.9

But sometimes just listening to, you know, maybe other people's stories as to why

0:56.8

what their emotional connection is. Ryan, you were saying why it even causes you to just get

1:00.9

out of bed in the morning.

1:03.1

You know, for those who are listening out there,

1:04.6

maybe who you like hunting, you used to do it,

1:07.5

maybe you've fallen out of it a little bit.

1:10.6

Perhaps some inspiration, also, I guess, just to kind of get to know maybe a little bit of the

1:14.2

people who you've listened to on the radio curious to get your thoughts on this one

1:18.6

though as we as we dive into it but yeah that I that I intro that I think you nailed it Jim I think you nailed it and we've got a small intimate group here I think this is a you know it's a personal

1:30.1

intimate topic when you keep saying intimate I get a little uncomfortable, not going to lie.

1:35.0

Yeah, I could, I'm going to scooch away from you.

1:38.0

I'm feeling that myself actually.

1:40.0

So, Ryan, that's all right.
