| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations Podcast, your guide to the fundamentals of better deer hunting. |
| 0:07.0 | Presented by First Light, creating proven versatile hunting apparel for the stand, saddle, or blind. First Light, go farther, stay |
| 0:16.3 | longer. And now, your host, Tony Peterson. |
| 0:19.8 | Hey everyone, welcome to the Wire to Hunt Foundation's podcast, which is brought to you by First Light. I'm your host Tony Peterson and today is all about |
| 0:27.7 | Understanding your home field advantage and how you can use it to have a better deer season. |
| 0:33.0 | One of the things that sucks the most about modern society is how prevalent victim mentality is now. |
| 0:49.0 | We all have a reason to blame someone else for our problems and the more we are exposed to that |
| 0:54.3 | kind of thinking the more we normalize it. Now of course there are plenty of people who are |
| 0:59.5 | actually real victims of many bad things but there's also the reality that a lot of us |

| 1:51.6 | I'd pretty much vote to move out there in a heartbeat. |
| 1:54.9 | When you land in Bozeman, you can see a couple of mountain ranges that look like they are straight |
| 1:58.8 | out of a Bob Ross painting, complete with a hell of a lot of happy little trees. The opportunities |
| 2:04.6 | to hunt a variety of critters there are a hell of a lot different than what I have at |
| 2:08.8 | home and I'm kind of a, I don't know, a variety kind of fella I guess. |
| 2:14.2 | The air is crisp and clean, and there's just a vibe to those mountain towns |
| 2:18.5 | that I love. |
