You can tell your story just as well with fewer swears. I couldn’t listen to this out loud around my kids. It felt a bit prideful about his hunting prowess. Would have liked more information about the rhythms of the year, building a life, and useful advice. Mostly the stories involve dog sleds, snowmobiles, hunting, and beer.

Too many F-bombs

I doubt a 1/4 of these stories are true. Shooting while in mid air.... 1000 yard heart shot.. then goes on to say he shoots 40 bullets at a caribou at 200 yards and misses every time! Its comical but is isn't even funny.

Anyone believe this??
