ULTIMATE CHALLENGE
Former Y.O Ranch hunting director, Eric White, put it this way when asked by an interviewer some years ago. "He [Marc] is not trying to beat somebody else. He`s really just trying to prove something to himself." Eric gets it, because he and I have hunted a lot together. All of the guides and PH`s I`ve teamed up with get it. I`m not trying to say I`m better than all the rest. I`m not one who belittles any other hunters. I`m not advocating to anyone to do it my way. I`m just saying, the ultimate challenge and the perfect shot thing, are what makes me tick. Physically, I want to be pushed. Mentally, I want to be challenged. Rifle-wise, I like to be tested. It`s that simple.
As hunters, huntresses, businessmen or whatever your jobs may be, even if you`re a painter, you all have certain standards that you require to bring you satisfaction, right? And the more proficient you become at your craft, the higher your standards get. It`s human nature. So what`s wrong with subscribing to certain high standards or aspiring to be the all that you can be? I find nothing wrong with it. For every hunter out there, that success quotient that brings you satisfaction is different. Mine is the most difficult shot and the most challenging hunt.
