#25 I GREW UP THINKING HUNTERS WERE PSYCHOPATHS - So I Went Hunting With One
from The Alpha Renaissance · host Taq Freeman
I didn't grow up hunting. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, it just wasn't part of my world. But when I moved to Texas, something shifted — and I decided to try it. What I didn't know was that my first real hunting experience would put me in the field with one of the best guides in the world. That weekend changed everything I thought I knew about hunters, about the outdoors, and about men.In this episode of The Alpha Renaissance, Tye Green breaks down the philosophy behind ethical hunting, what 30+ years in the wild teaches a man about patience, discipline, and ego, and why the primal instinct to hunt never left any of us — we've just been conditioned to suppress it. From shooting his first deer at six years old, to packing out a 700-pound elk alone in the Colorado mountains, to managing a South Texas ranch for 13 years, Tye is the real deal. What he said about masculinity, aggression, spirituality, and finding God in the wild will stay with you long after this episode ends.0:00 I Grew Up Thinking Hunters Were Psychopaths4:20 How Tye Became the Best Hunting Guide in the World9:10 From Fly Fishing Colorado to Full-Time Guide14:30 What His Dad Taught Him in the Deer Stand20:00 He Shot His First Deer at Six Years Old24:15 Why Guiding Changed Everything: Living Through Others' Success29:00 Bow Hunting vs. Rifle Hunting: The Real Difference34:10 Understanding the Elk Rut and How Guides Find Animals39:30 What Trophy Hunting Actually Means44:00 Managing a Ranch Is a 10-Year Commitment48:20 Packing Out a 700-Pound Elk Alone in the Mountains53:45 Finding God in the Wild57:30 Men, Aggression and the Need for a Physical Outlet1:00:00 What the City Kid Finally Understood#TheAlphaRenaissance #TyeGreen #HuntingLife #HuntingGuide #ElkHunting #WhitetailDeer #BowHunting #HuntingPhilosophy #MasculinityMatters #Manhood #SelfImprovement #Outdoors #WildlifeManagement #HuntingAndFishing #TexasHunting #ColoradoHunting #DeerManagement #SouthTexasHunting #HillCountry #EthicalHunting #FlyFishing #HuntingCulture #PrimalInstinct #MenAndNature #OutdoorLife #Brotherhood #Discipline #ChicagoToColorado #CityKidGoesHunting #chicago #WhatHuntingTeachesMen#TheAlphaRenaissancePodcast #AlphaRenaissancePodcast #motivational
