Good stuff.
I’m glad to see ambush hunting promoted. I hear so much downplay of treestand hunting on podcasts, as if it is a lazy mans way of hunting, or a lesser form, from the elk shape bros. “I couldn’t sit still for that long”. As a guy who works out religiously, it’s possible! Your level of athleticism does not hinder your ability to be in stillness.
To me, high output spot and stalk hunting sounds about as intimate as flying through the woods on a mountain bike. Are you surrounded by nature? Yes, but what are you really experiencing? I have put in miles backpacking in beautiful places, but it is most certainly not on the same level of being in a tree, melting into nature, observing completely undisturbed wildlife, in complete silence. The only comparison I can think of might be high level wildlife photography.
We go to places that most recreational outdoorsman will never step foot, and we experience things that none of them will ever experience.
