Everyone remembers their first time. Their first kiss, their first time drunk …the first time the New York football Giants spanked that Sally, Tom Brady, and the Patriots like naughty school girls in the Super Bowl.So it is with hunting and your first kill. It’s what you’ve been obsessively planning for, hearing stories about and waking up at the crack of dawn for. But until you actually pull that trigger you don’t know how you’re going to feel. You’re taking a life after all. It is both exhilarating and a moment of pure horror and regret. In this video, Crazy Jim takes me hunting for Black Tail and tells me about his first kill, how it made him feel and why he still goes ape shit for deer season.

You’re back! Great stuff - awesome shots with the sun in the background - nice scenery shots - and real nice ending…I loved that!

Fantastic, guys, just fantastic. And the ending was indeed wonderful - masterful job of addressing something very serious while maintaining your signature irreverence.

A real good video and I loved the ending. I think that you described a lot of feelings that all of us hunters go through and your example of us having a connection with the animals we eat was awesome.
I couldn’t agree more!

Didn’t see anything while taping…
You think it had something to do with the dude flapping his jaw wearing bright orange?
Yo, I just realized all of these comments are moderated. No one will ever see them
Too bad I live in Europe and not Oregon. You were gonna come up so we could show you how it done with elk

Genious. Good luck finding a deer in the Basin though, i see like only 1 a year around here. Truckee’s probably better gittin’ would be my guess.

I always had a hatred for hunting and the like for some reason. But after watching this episode and thinking how much processed meat I eat I kinda felt like a douche. So touche my good man. Keep these episodes up. These are perfect shows for this generation.
