Rebuild the Man with Lamar Skinner
Lamar Skinner is an honest man. He is unafraid to publicly be vulnerable about his past and is on a mission to help other men. He’s also a fantastic Couse deer hunter in Arizona! He started a movement called Rebuild the Man and joins me this week to discuss it.
In this episode, Lamar and I discuss deer hunting, specifically the differences between Couse, Whitetail, and Mule deer hunting as well as some of the differences in hunting various terrain features. We dive into the distortion that happens through social media and it’s impact on normal hunters versus the stress created by people who only post large animals. It’s becoming more about taking trophies for Instagram than the fulfillment and stuffed freezers that most hunters seek. Then, we dive into Lamar’s platform, Rebuild the Man, and how he came about to leading this mission and why he wants to help other men get to where he’s at. It’s a solid discussion and I think people are going to get a lot out of. Tune in anywhere podcasts are found!
