South Dakota Recap with Dan Graff
Show Notes:
We’re doing a South Dakota recap here with my longtime friend Dan Graff. The hunting game is always evolving, and Dan talks about some of the changes he’s noticed since he was last out. Dan and I chat about being challenged when hunting with folks who put in more effort than you and how it can bring out the best in you and make you better. The people you hunt with always make the experience.
Here, Dan and I break down our trip from start to finish. Our first hunt was on November 5th and I glassed up a buck I called Too Tall. I share the highs and lows of trying to get him and how things ultimately turned out. Dan shares his perspective on how it all went down, and we talk about how things don’t always turn out as planned, even if you have the perfect setup.
Sometimes you see people on social media having successes, but no one ever shows the bad. It’s very easy to look at things like that and think everyone’s doing well. I’ve questioned my own self and have wanted to quit several times.
I’m putting this out there and showing my vulnerability because I want others who feel the same way to know they’re not alone. For me, hunting is part of what I am and when I don’t have success, I view it as a negative reflection of who I am. My point is, don’t allow years of positivity and success to be erased by negativity. Focus on the good.
