jortiz+FollowStarted hunting at 31 with zero family traditionMy family thought I was nuts when I bought my first rifle at 26. Zero hunting tradition, just me figuring it out through YouTube and range time. Took me another 5 years to actually get in the woods. What really clicked for me was reconnecting with my indigenous heritage. Suddenly hunting wasn't just about shooting deer—it became this spiritual thing, following wisdom that's been in my blood all along. Whether I come home with meat depends on what the land and animals decide to give me that day. Love sharing wild game with friends who've never tasted it. Their faces when they try elk for the first time? Priceless. Plus knowing exactly where my family's protein comes from feels good. Anyone else come to hunting later in life without family teaching you? #Hunting #SpiritualHunting #WildGame #HuntingLife #Outdoors 193Share
