DAVID L LINDLEY
Hunting makes me and my family better. It makes me a better father, husband, brother, friend, and human due to the respect and physical demands I put on myself to hunt with more strength and precision to honor the animals and their habitats. Every long hot desert run here in PHX, every kettle-bell, and every arrow keeps me mentally focused and trained towards taking my first September bull elk that has left me in a dream world for months. To me hunting isn’t about killing an animal, as I have never done it, but it is about being in the most remote regions and taking it all into consideration, and loving and appreciating all of it. We all make a harvest on every hunt regardless if we kill an animal, we harvest new intentions and lessons through the journey, and I cannot wait to be in the mountains to experience that again. Thanks Donnie, your shit is epic!
Jeff
Hunting is a way to be in nature, be secluded from the busy every day to day rush, learn who we are as a person. Hunting to me is a way to bring good natural meat to the table, to spend time with family. It means alot to be able to hunt and bring my daughter in a world where hunting is a part of life. To teach and train where good organic food comes from, and the trials that come along with it.
Stephen Shay
At first hunting was a right of passage. With hunting, came a responsibility: to those around me, and to honor the animal and the hunt. Then it became time to spend with my dog. Our time. When we worked together toward a goal. But finally, hunting evolved into something intense and spiritual. The responsibility was still there, the friendship with my dogs, or my brother, or others with me was still there, but there was also a new appreciation for the sunrise. For waiting, perfectly still as to not to spook the deer coming from behind, or the perfect feeding call that lures the mallard in. These things became the important part of who I am. Its why I continue to hunt.
Nick
Hunting encapsulates so many facets of life its hard to summarise in a small paragraph but here goes. Firstly it just as much about the passionate people you surround yourself with and meet on the journey or during a trip in the backcountry. It brings all walks of life together breaking down the barriers of general society and you make life long mates from it. Hunting also brings out your primal nature that is itching to break free and realising your senses being heightened with each hunt is something that is a real eye opener of how our modern day living has made them so dull. The hunting experience doesn’t just finish at at the pull of the trigger or the release of an arrow. It has a whole new phase when you are able to provide and feed your family. It not only stops there but sharing what you have harvested with your friends is something special and your hunt can last for a year to come with each steak you share with friends. Finally hunting brings a certain awareness of habitat and respect for all animal and insects as it brings clarity to how the food chain works and how we are all interconnected. This is something you will only understand once you spend prolonged periods of time at the mercy of mother nature. Hunting is a way of life for me and we as humans are built for it.
Tom Scheid
I developed the necessary skills as a Hunter during my time in the military. Learning to shoot, track and navigate first and foremost. Smartening up over the years and honing those skills on operational deployment in Afghanistan.
Leaving the military suffering from post traumatic stress and injury then moving to the mountains in search of solitude and calm, heightening the desire to hunt.
My passion and profession of photographing nature helped me maintain a healthy respect and desire for conservation.
The thrilling chill and excitement of a bull elk bugling through the woods instilled in the forefront of my mind to pursue that ethical kill.
The humbling process of tracking, stalking and laying in wait culminating in harvesting a healthy beast that will sustain myself and family over the winter. Giving thanks to what once stood before me.

Hunting is life. It’s deep in my soul and fuels my passion for the outdoors. It binds your soul with the animal you love by building a relationship through a game of cat and mouse. The kill is only a small and often the least important part of the dance.
Jake
Have learned so much about hunting, and life from you donnie! Thanks for what you do I truly do appreciate all that you do.
David Gorski
For me hunting is a reminder of how to use our basic instincts, a reminder of how we were, where we belong and how we‘re suppose to be.
Stephen Kahn
Hunting means a time to break away from how the world has evolved into the over emotional state. Return to how man was supposed to be. Being able to provide my family with fuel that is better and how it is supposed to be.
Daniel O’Flaherty
I’m not sure what hunting means to me, all I really know is I need to do it, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to
Howell Pugh
Hunting simply means being given the chance to provide my family with the most natural source of protein available. We look to nature before we look to the grocery store. Plus, the views aren’t half bad either.
Wes Shover
Hunting for me brings me back to the purest form of our existence with the land.
Hunting with fellow hunters also brings me back to the camaraderie that I’ve had on Teams in the military – it solidifies the bonds that we have with people to prove our grit. On our hardest hunts, we learn the most about the people we associate with and their valor, trust, and spirit. You can learn more about a person in one shitty day on a mountain than you can with another in an entire lifetime. This is why The Veteran Hunter exists. To continue the bonds forged in battle to keep our blood flowing in our veins.
Chris Durr
It is who and what we are as human beings. Some people embrace it and others fall into what society tells them to think and feel. It is a time and situation that makes you feel alive and have accomplished something. From the preparation to the moment of truth and then the reflection which all creates the memory and experience.
Colin O’Rourke
Hunting to me is an integral part of life. Not only the obvious piece of putting food on the table that is clean and healthy, but so much more. I started hunting as a teenager with my dad and uncles. Deer camp was a place to bond and grow relationships with friends, family, and nature. As my experience grows, so does my appreciation of the world around me and the connection to the animals that provide me with so much. Hunting to me is not an activity, a hobby, an interest. It is a passion and a cornerstone in my life.
Dustin E Faddis
Observing, learning, and interacting in the greatest regenerative design system ever created—Nature, nourishes me. Hunting to me is a self-sufficient life process that provides nourishment mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Hunting is a process of empowerment that blesses me, my family, and those who I share its values with.
Zach Vincent
Hunting to men is going to the grocery store. I can’t remember the last time I went to the store to get meat. It’s also a time for me to get a way and unwind from life. I get to spend time with my best friends and my dad. Hunting is a huge part of my life and something I will do until the day I die. Nothing compares to the feeling of being out in God’s country

Keep it coming. Love watching your videos and reading your content.

I recently had a lisfranc dislocation and was recently told I could never run again by the surgeon. Devasting news for a fit and healthy 31 year old who was quite active. I have plenty of family and friends involved with hunting, this could be my new thing, a new start and chapter, which would provide some hope for a active future hunting. Bringing food home to the table would be a incredible feat via spending more time out in the great outdoors. I’m excited for the future, a helping hand would go a long way. Cheers and thanks, Robbie
Kevin Rochon
Hunting brings people together both friends and family. This year I’m especially excited because my 8 year old son is going to be joining my brother, father, me and a few friends in the back country. I can’t wait to teach him how to track, and spot animals. To watch as my father and brother pass on their knowledge to him, listening intently, well aswell as an 8 year old can lol. Planning the stalk, watching the animals in their environment aware of the winds and our surroundings taking it all in. Waiting patiently, not really looking forward to that as I can foresee a few blowouts due to questions or movements at the WRONG time but it’s all learning right. Taking in the sights, smells and sounds, a part of nature. If we are lucky enough to be successful to take an animal the real work will begin the real lessons begin. To give the animal the respect it deserves, a quick death, preserving the hide and meat, the pack out. I can’t hardly wait! Keep up the good work Donnie and thank you for being a great ambassador of this great sport!

It’s a challenge to find words on what Hunting means to me. A lot of people will say hunting is life so for me to say that would be very cliche. The truth is though, it is life. I grew up in a small log home in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains where I learned to hunt from my dad and two older brothers. We grew up trad archery hunting together. I considered those days where I built my foundation and character. I stand by this principle, the foundation you build in the dark will support you when you’re in the light. Now my family owns a 2,500 acre hunting ranch called Quest Haven Lodge where we all work together doing whatever our strengths and passions are. I’m the marketing director and I’m also a full time whitetail guide. In the off season we travel the world hunting together. I film for a TV show my wife is a host for called Girls with Guns TV and I also film for our YouTube channel, www.YouTube.com/c/QuestHavenLodge/ . I’m literally living a dream. If you told me in high school my life would look like this, I wouldn’t have believed it. I am a blessed man!
So what is hunting to me? I am hunting…
Jeff
The connection we have with nature is being diminished with the open and one time hunted land being used as the foundations for copy cat homes and shopping plazas. The life as we know is being structured to go to the supermarket and buy a cold, inhumane piece of meat. Hunting isn’t about the meat in your fridge. It’s about the respect for nature and the experience. Hunting is why we are breathing today. The exposure to nature, the experience the story is what hunting is. The ability to escape from the everyday known and boredom of the fast life we live. Hunting is primal in its simplest form but pure it’s it most complex. Hunting is as much life as it is death.
Jon Gale
Outdoors in general is in my blood I live to hunt. It’s almost annoying how often it’s on my mind. Anyways good luck to everyone hope whoever wins it truly is thankful for it and gets outside and puts it to use. You the man Donnie Vincent
William Rankin
For me, hunting is a way find my place in the circle of life and take responsibility for what I eat. It allows me to become close to nature and the world around me. It is humbling to get a view of the bigger picture and see where I fit in that picture. Hunting is a way to bond with friends and family. It makes hiking and campimg more meaningful. It makes sharing a meal more meaningful.
