The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort to Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self

Easter’s group decided to relocate their camp after failing to encounter caribou at their previous site. Moving 20 miles north to a river valley, they strategically positioned themselves on a hillside, using the landscape to remain concealed while observing the valley for caribou movement.

The group engaged in discussions about the ethics of hunting technology, debating the fairness of various hunting methods. Donnie, an experienced hunter, expressed his preference for tools that offer a fair chase and are efficient for a swift kill, highlighting his preference for bows due to their silent nature.

As they spotted a herd of caribou, the group prepared for a potential hunt. Easter contemplates the moral implications of hunting for food, a practice accepted by the majority of Americans according to a Purdue University study. Easter’s perspective is influenced by his interactions with a military sniper and a US marshal, which helped him develop skills in long-range shooting.

The narrative then turns to a tense moment as the group spotted an old bull with a limp, indicating it’s an ethical target due to its age and condition. Easter, armed with a rifle and experiencing a mix of excitement and nervousness, followed the bull through the scope.
