3 Key Points:

1. Jordan Harvin said he had never been injured before until I was on a vegan diet. This pushed him to get into hunting to acquire his own organic meat.    
2. AB3 says the two things that kill animals, especially male animals, are curiosity and chasing females. 
3. Jordan takes his boots off to add an extra layer of quietness while hunting. 

 

Tweetable Quotes:

• “It has really been a peace for me to be able to get into hunting in New Mexico because, like you said, there are so many species here. But also, there is so much public land here, so anybody can do it.” – Jordan Harvin
• “You think ‘plant-based’ you automatically start to think ‘health.’ But, a lot of these things go through different processes as well and they have their own processing just like some of this meat is processed.” – Jordan Harvin
• “When it comes to the bow, I can shoot that 100 times in a day and there is no real wear and tear on the bow. I might lose an arrow or something like that. But it isn’t as expensive as buying ammo.” – Jordan Harvin
