Often while hunting with someone I get into fairly deep conversations about the world. It might be the sleep deprivation and adrenaline highs driving us outside the box, but it seems to happen a lot. Cork and I discussed something I’ve thought a lot about on my own and want to share. I think that hunting, which requires you to think a step ahead of your prey, forces you to observe and understand the environment in a different way than most people. In addition, when you get to know an animal that you’re hunting, you realize how similar it is to people. Cork shared with me his ‘comfort zone’ idea of hunting. Basically, if it’s hot out, look into cool places and vice versa if it’s cold. Animals like to be comfortable and use the least amount of energy to get through the day. Sound familiar? Ever notice how many people take the escalator instead of the stairs for as little as a single flight?

Just lazy

Some people would look at this line for the escalator and think, “I could get up the stairs faster AND it would be healthier for me.” Those people, that one guy on the stairs in the photo, have a special talent; they think critically. I’m not saying I’m really special because I can think, but look at how many people just don’t think. Now if you wanted to hunt these people, not for their flesh, but for their money, they would be pretty easy to predict. Makes me worry about advertising.
