Description

If you're a serious elk hunter, odds are you've heard of Shawn Melland. If not, you'll have a hard time believing what this guy has achieved over the past 10 years. Shawn has taken 8 bulls in 10 years, with an average score of 375". Each and every one DIY. As he puts it, he lives and breathes bowhunting giant bulls. He's also a former NFL linebacker and a guy that still trains like a professional athlete, even at 40 years old. Shawn's perspective on how his pro athlete mindset has impacted his ability to have the success he's had in the field is the kind of material that will change how you approach your hunting goals. This episode focuses primarily on what it means to be a complete athlete, or better yet, a complete human, operating at his or her maximum potential, and how hunting and athletic performance are inextricably linked. If you care about performing at your best in the backcountry, and life in general, this is a can't miss episode. NOTABLE QUOTES: "I think if everybody could just take that humility and apply it to their own life and their own training and start doing some of those uncomfortable things...man, that's where the growth comes from." @shawn.melland @work.built THIN AIR FILM --------------------------- DEALS & PARTNERS: For over 100 years Leica has set the standard for premium optics.
