Okay. And that is our guest today. Call me Hunter. Welcome to the show Jim Shockey.

Thanks for having me. I'm excited.

So the reason why you're so notoriously popular in your community is you like to, like, am I right? Black Rifle Hunt?

Yeah, Black Hunter.

Excuse me, yes. Black Hunter. The daily crocket used only a little bit modernized. That's how I meet my name in our industry.

But I use archery just as much as bull and arrow or rifle as well.

Right. What do you enjoy really moving through the bush with? Do you enjoy a compound bow? Do you enjoy the rifle, muzzle style movement? What do you like to there?

What gets snagged?

The ultimate hunt is archery. But when you've got a stick in a string and a pointy arrow, you have to be close.

And as a hunter, if we're talking about hunting, that's what you want to do is get as close as possible and get that primal feeling of there's your quarry.

And you, you know, I'll use this probably often touch your ancestral soul by being able to get that close to the animal.

So archery is my, you know, that's the ultimate in hunting. But it does look very difficult takes time.

You feel like you're one with the animals that you're stalking and about to partake of and share. I'm sure you share the food with others, right?

Of course, yeah. We are all part of nature, regardless of whether we live in downtown New York City up on a penthouse.

You know, if we think we're not, we don't have an environmental footprint because we're vegan and give me a break.

Yeah, right. Of course, we're all part of nature. So, yeah, when you're in the wildlands, you're as close as you can be, you know, what we were and hopefully what we will be of the future.
