Welcome back to another episode of cutting the distance.

Today, I'm here with just myself.

I want to do a little bit more of a personal episode.

There's a lot more to people than hunting, right?

Everybody gets to see, you know, Jason Phelps, the elk hunter. Jason Phelps, the guy that gets

to go on some dream hunting trips and, you know, the guy that started a successful elf hunting brand

and then eventually branched out into turkey and deer and predator and so on and so forth.

But this is going to be just a little bit more of a personal list of questions that I get quite a bit.

And I'm just going to elaborate.

You know, some people message me this week on Facebook and kind of said,

hey, I think that'd be something cool.

You know, they were asking me questions and I was able to help them or give some advice. And I'm like, man, you should really talk about that. So it kind of inspired me

to talk about that and kind of spark this conversation. So, you know, one of those things,

everybody's like, what's the, and when you say the cost of chasing elk dreams, you know,

the cost of chasing this dream, but they're not talking about cost in in the sense of money there

is definitely costs involved which fortunately a successful business can can help along the way

but um for me it's more of that cost you know of the family cost of time away from my kids

time away from my community time away from these other things

that i do you know for those that that don't know i've coached every single sport my kids have

played both boy and girl um from the time they started until this year is the first year

i'm no longer coaching their rec sports but instead I took on a high school

basketball coaching jobs so you know late November I'm I've now you know I'm I'm in the gym
