127. How Hobbies Contribute to Your Personal Development | Dylan Heide

Dylan Heide was born and bred in Casper, WY and has built many wonderful relationships throughout Wyoming. He made the choice to venture into real estate after I had a wonderful experience with a real estate agent who I worked with in buying his home. Before real estate, he worked as a sales associate and this is where helping people with life's big decisions has helped guide my real estate career.

When he's not helping clients, you can most likely find him outside taking advantage of God's beautiful country with the vast activities Wyoming has to offer. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys fishing, hunting and sharing these experiences with his wife, Grace, and their daughter, Everlee.

Cartwright Morris: 0:02

All right, welcome into another episode of the mentor forge podcast. I've got Dylan Hyde with me today. I'm excited to have Dylan in Dylan. How you doing, man? I'm doing pretty good man just hanging in there. Coming all the way from Wyoming you might be my first guy from Wyoming on the podcast, so I'm excited to have you. Yeah. Well, thanks for having me. How's it how's the snow been?

Dylan Heide: 0:27

Well, we just got a fresh snowpack last night. So you know, actually, I just heard a statistic yesterday that this is the most snow we've had since like, 1944. Want to say? There you go. Yeah, so we've got a ton of snow. It's been crazy. Yeah. Are you a skier snowboarder? No, I mean, I snowboard every now and then. But yeah, I broke my collarbone snowboarding and ever since then have been kind of like me hanging out with a nice, warm house.

Cartwright Morris: 1:00

Well, speaking of that, I want to get to the fall. And I saw on social media that you killed your first elk with a bow this fall. Is that right? Yeah. Tell me about that experience. What was how I mean, as for my listeners who are clueless about one elk hunting, but to bow hunting, and getting close enough to kill one with a bow, tell me about that experience of how long of a journey it was to get to that point. Yeah.

Dylan Heide: 1:30

That's great. So so we'll back up here, we've got basically since I started hanging out when I was like, 15, I drew a drew of nice, I'll tag here in Wyoming. And, you know, I didn't go home at the time, but I never ended up filling that tag. And I found it really hard with my dad. And my dad definitely has a passion like I did for hunting. So he was kind of getting annoyed with going all the time, you know. So really, my like to give me a background here, my background kind of carried me just like through my own passion. So I really had to teach myself and do a lot of the things myself as far as how to learn and, and what to do, by watching videos on YouTube and just going out there and just, you know, practice making perfect, you know, and then there's still no, I wouldn't even say there's such thing as actually perfect in the hunting industry, just because you're, you're out there and constantly blowing stocks and just trying to learn from your mistakes and learn how to do it for next time. You know, we haven't really started bow hunting, like probably two years into that and learn how much of a challenge it was, but how fun it was. So I actually had not killed an animal with my bow or an elk with my bow for a long time. Like it was, it was a long time coming this last year killing something. So, you know, I, I, the previous year passed up an opportunity to shoot an elk with my bow. And you know, it ended up ended up not being a good thing that I did that. Because there I thought that maybe you know, I was holding out for something better and killing just a small rag horn and rifle season. So this last year, I drew this tag, and my main goal is to killable with my boat, that was kind of like my main goal. And obviously, I would have held out for something good too, because it was a different tag I had drawn. And yeah, you know, it was it was one of those areas that I was in the elk every single time I had a bow in my hand. So it just, you know, like what a bow hunter would dream of. I was literally like, in the elk all the time. There wasn't a day that I was not chasing an elk. So that was the coolest part was I was actually I was actually able to like, you know, practice stocks. Now I will say, it's really hard to still getting that close to an L especially because the elephant I had found was like a 370 inch bull elk. And I was trying to trying to get close to him, but he had about 60 cows. So in bowl season, you know when a bowl has all those cows, there is many eyes. So it's really hard to get that clubs, because something's gonna see you and they're all going to tick off, you know, So, long story short there, it didn't work out. I tried a new spot, just kind of up and out of the random and found myself down the bottom of this mountain. And there were belts all over. And that's how I was actually able to shoot my first mesh my first bull elk. And, you know, it was it was a long shot, but you know, I'm glad I took it because you know he died in probably, I don't know 2030 seconds. And it was a quick quick kill and I would say it's most ethical that an animal could have you know Just one of those things that that was pretty much where the work started nothing seemed to go my way, you know, I, I came up to the elk and started cutting them up and looked at my backpack in my water bladder and broke. And I had no other water. So I was four and a half miles from truck. So it kind of freaked me out. I was like, Oh my gosh, I gotta get back to the truck. I need water. And it was, you know, it's September so yeah, how to make it all the back the truck, you know, some points I felt like I was gonna pass out. So I'm like sending messages when I got to service like, yeah, if you don't hear from me, here's where I'm at. I'm really lightheaded and dizzy. I don't have any water my system. Yeah, people like God, just take it slow, you know, made it all the way back the truck. And then this thunderstorm just comes out of nowhere. You know, just rain and thunder and lightning striking trees. And it was crazy. Like, I gotta get this mountain. So I dove off the mountains, I didn't get struck by lightning. And in the middle of that rainstorm, I slammed into a rock tore my running board off in my truck, and then get all the way down on the bottom. And we're in this HMA area. So well, that is a hunter management area. So landowners will give permission to the public to drive through their land. So I got down to the bottom and the landowner had locked the gate through that road because of the rain. So I had to drive all the way around, which took like two hours through just this horrible road while it's raining. And yeah, it's just it was one thing after another after another. And then basically I just waited through the night next morning, grab a few buddies run up there and we got got him packed out. That one wasn't near as bad, but it seems like it's one thing after another when that when that kind of stuff happens. But yeah, wild story for sure.

Cartwright Morris: 6:55

Dang. Yeah, I think that's what most people forget. Like, that's the just killing the animal itself is only the beginning. Especially big game like that. Dang.

Dylan Heide: 7:06

Oh, yeah.

Cartwright Morris: 7:08

I'm curious. Did you call in the ALC? yourself?

Dylan Heide: 7:12

No, I didn't actually, there's so many. There's so much activity out there. It was easy for me to just kind of slip in where they didn't know I was there. And, you know, there's so many things I could take back and like should have Coulda, Woulda, you know, because I killed probably, like, use a good voice probably like 310 315. And there was like, I don't know, maybe 30 or 40 poles down there. And wow, he was probably like the 20th biggest one. So there was like, probably 19 or so or 20 More that were just bigger than he was. So in the one gushers a couple on there. I swear I was like, Oh my gosh, this thing is huge. But yeah, they were just all fighting each other. And I mean, when they're fighting each other, it's kind of easy to get close, right? But yeah, I shoot him start walking up to him, the biggest one in the whole herd starts walking up to me gets like 60 yards away from me. And I'm like, Oh my gosh. So but yeah, it's pretty cool. What do

Cartwright Morris: 8:22

you what is your self talk in the middle of those moments where you're like, I gotta take advantage of this opportunity? How do you make sure you stay focused and engaged and, and all that?

Dylan Heide: 8:33

Well, my biggest thing is like, in my mind, I just keep telling myself because it's really easy to get excited and just rush things. So I just had to keep Thomas, just take it slow, take it slow, one inch at a time, one inch at a time, one inch at a time, you know, just slowly slowly inch your way up, you know. And that's like really important because, you know, if you just get too carried away and just start running in there, then you're just gonna get everything out of there, you know? So yeah, that's pretty much my biggest thing I'm going through my mind.

Cartwright Morris: 9:06

And does the repetition gun hunting. Does that is that helped? Does that give you more experience to understand to make you prepare for that moment? With?

Dylan Heide: 9:19

I would say so. You know, it's with gun hunting, it's a little different just because I mean, you can be a little further away. So you're practicing at that point, like just 200 yards or 300 yards. So you kind of put yourself in the element of that far away, where it's like, you got to slip with them like, I don't know, 7080 yards. So it almost brings a whole new like, set of like I wouldn't say rules but just the way that it is. Yeah, just because it's you know, a little different because you're getting closer to the animal. There's a lot more room for error. especially with a bow, I mean, you gotta ding bow and string, you're shooting an arrow, you know, you're not, you're shooting it at 300 feet per second, you're not shooting at 3000 feet per second, you know? So it's definitely a little bit, you know, just a few more things that to run through your mind when you're that close. Yeah, man,

Cartwright Morris: 10:21

that's fun. That's crazy. Just, I mean, learning to be in the moment and enjoy that appreciate, I mean, how much of that mindset of hunting especially in that experience? How much does that is that translated to any other part of your life?

Dylan Heide: 10:36

You know, I would say like, the only thing I would take a little more seriously is my faith in Jesus 100%, you know, just mainly because it doesn't matter the size of the goal, the end up killing at the end of the day, you know, my mindset is, we're really only living in this world for eight years. So it's pretty important for my faith to be established. And especially in who I am. I will say, like, you know, it's fun to take my faith with me wherever I go, especially hunting, because I get away. It's a great time to kind of sit back and reflect, and just kind of be there in God's like, country, you know, yeah, it's cool. If you can just have a take it in, and especially if you're not finding it out, you know, you can kind of just still sit there and just take in his creation a little bit, you know, yeah. So yeah, I don't know, man. That's definitely you know, something that's just, you know, very heavy on my heart, especially. But, yeah, I would say, that's definitely something there.

Cartwright Morris: 12:17

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I would say, yeah, definitely. times I felt closest to God has been in the woods somewhere. 100%

Dylan Heide: 12:27

be like a saying, I feel like a hoodie. So there you go. Somebody listening, put on a hoodie for us.

Cartwright Morris: 12:33

What's the saying? Am I doing myself?

Dylan Heide: 12:36

Very good. The saying of like, let's see, the closest to God, I fell this in the woods or something like that? Yeah.

Cartwright Morris: 12:45

Yeah, that's a good one. To do that. And that's great. That's awesome. So I do yeah, I'm kind of you kind of hit it a little bit. But so I really am curious, because of a hunting specialist degree you're doing, it's so much part of your life. So why do you why do you do it? Why do you take so much effort and time and have something where you drive in two hours out of the way to make sure you get back and cut out that deer and put in your freezer?

Dylan Heide: 13:15

Yeah, good question. I don't know. Really, I don't know, I just I really enjoy it. Like, it's just such a fun experience. You know, every single trip is different, you know, in that aspect. It's not a repetition, repetition. And you might be chasing the same animal, but the animal has different patterns and the previous animal, so you get to study that animal. You know, I don't know, it's definitely like, it's definitely a hobby, but you know, at the same time, it's, it's just so fun and rewarding, especially when you do kill something, it's just, I don't know, it's, there's not really a way of putting it just kind of have to kind of have to go out there and do it just to kind of understand how, how cool it is, you know? Yeah. But yeah, you know, that's a really good point. So I'm going to bring this up to, like in hunting, there's, there's two types of people, it seems like in the hunting industry, the people that are trying to make it as a career and the people that realize it's not a career, and they're doing something else, so that way, they can supplement the time off to go and actually, you know, pursue just as their, you know, for fun, right. And being on social media, I pursued trying to be in the hunting industry for a long time. Like, I felt like that was something that, you know, like, I love hunting so much, maybe I can try make something as far as a career out of it. Yeah, the problem is you're pursuing like sponsorships, and you know, like social media paying you so like YouTube, or like Instagram. And in the grand scheme of things like, especially in the hunting industry, you'd basically would, wouldn't make very much. So what I come to found come to find out is pursuing that and putting the kind of times I'm going to put in, I could have been putting it into something else, and having a much higher reward as far as the amount of money that I'm making. And also taking the time off than I want to say, it's a realtor, I'm my own boss, I can choose the hours and I'm working. And, you know, I make the money that I make, and then I have plenty of time and I can just kind of go and enjoy myself, sort of forcing myself to have to fill my heart and like, you know, there's a killshot I gotta get on camera. And, you know, I gotta make sure that I'm keeping in touch with my sponsors every single month. I'm staying on top of social media all the time because I have to you know, there's You're just kind of there that my time is better spent, like, where the money is. And it's not in the hunting industry. Long story short, yeah. No.

Cartwright Morris: 15:53

But it is interesting, you value something that as part of your life not necessarily to make money, but you like it, yeah, hunting has to be part of life. So I will do things around it to support it. Yeah, like a realtor job where there is flexibility. And

Dylan Heide: 16:07

yeah, but it's most important to because like, I obviously have a family. So my wife and I have a little kiddo. So most importantly, obviously want to provide for them, you know, and that was kind of another decision is, you know, if I was going to be in the hunting industry and making it into a career, I don't think I would have supported them to the best of my ability. And though it would have been fun for me, I would have probably a higher stress level at home. And I know plenty of people that are in this business that are doing that. And they're doing that to their wife and their kids. And I just don't think it's right, because I know the capability of a human being they are and what they could be doing. But they just choose to do that just because of their own, like, personal gain, I would say. And, you know, at the end of the day, I wish real estate was a hunting career, I really do. But there's just no money in the hunting industry. So I'm not gonna, you know, I'm not gonna force my wife to have to go through that lifestyle with me, you know, right, when could be providing her much more income, and more enjoyable life, and especially because of the freedom that, you know, real estate brings me to, you know, that way we can actually enjoy our hobbies when we want. We're not forced into anything, you know. So it's, I think it's pretty key in separating those two, especially, you know, having a family and making sure they're supported.

Cartwright Morris: 17:31

Yeah. I do want to mention that I mean, you know, your wife, you know, your Instagram handle and YouTube pages. Fish hunt. Why? Oh, yeah. And your wife has one as well. She's, she has, you know, she has her hunts on there. Is that something you're connected on early? Is that in your relationship was running?

Dylan Heide: 17:52

No, really, we I mean, we didn't connect on it. But we actually had, here's a picture on our fridge were three years old, holding hands. We were in this Bible, like class, you know, when we were little kiddos. So we've gotten to church together for a long time. And we knew knew each other knew of each other, more or less, you know, and then in high school, we kind of we met through track, so of all things, you know, track is where we met. And he was like, wicked, balanced. Oh, my gosh. She's, she's literally the fastest chick in all of Wyoming. And she, I will always tell her, she like left her track career to pursue me, which was pretty cool. Because she could have definitely gone to college anywhere. was pretty cool. Me and Grace Actually, both had an offer to go at full ride scholarships over to UCLA for track and field. And we both said no, because we didn't want to go live in California, and stay here with our family. Yeah, we both did

Cartwright Morris: 18:58

Wyoming boy right there. Yeah.

Dylan Heide: 19:02

definitely true. But no, we stayed. And that's kind of where we met. But, you know, she had always expressed interest in actually going hunting with me, you know, and that's kind of the time was really starting to get into bow hunting a little bit for the first couple of years. So she's pretty much seen, you know, the beginning stages of me and bow hunting, and really the really beginning stages of hunting as well for me, because, you know, it was only the first few years I really was starting to take hunting pretty seriously, you know, as far as my real real like enjoyment, you know, so, you know, she, she stepped in so now let's go and we like to do a lot of shed hunting too. So it's when animals drop their horns every year on foreign sorry, antlers every year, so people criticized me for that. But yeah, so we'd like to do that too. So I mean, which it keeps us active and outdoors all the time. You know, but now she's she's enjoying it. Her family's from back east so you know this it's totally new for them over here anyway. So yeah, she's never been before starting to take her out and then she just loved it. So she and she gets bigger animals than I do to dead serious she

Cartwright Morris: 20:18

does. Oh, man. That speed man is what it is.

Dylan Heide: 20:22

Yeah. I have a YouTube video. Just like describers feed there's a it's her antelope hunt from like three or four years ago. Yeah, it's like read section in there where she's just running down this canyon. And I mean, it looks fast but in person, like I couldn't keep up with her. I was literally like, the camera trying to keep up with her. But yeah, it's pretty funny. So if you ever had a chance, you should watch that. It's pretty funny.

Cartwright Morris: 20:50

That's great. So I know you have kids, as well, one kid to just one, just one. I mean with hunting, and now and being a dad, and I'm sure, you know, possibly having more kids, right? How much of hunting Do you feel like is a important part of in raising your kids and having that part of your relationship with them?

Dylan Heide: 21:13

You know, it's really just kind of right now. Like, my main focus is just kind of trying to give them as much exposure as possible. So like, my little kiddo, her name's Everly, she's almost two years old. And she can do the perfect view. But just because she knows that, like, what an elk sounds like, you know, so yeah, start pointing out, like, what's the lion say? She'll get robbed, you know, and then an ALC is also incorporated into that, you know, so she knows that to just randomly just scream, you know. So

Cartwright Morris: 21:46

that's not an easy sound to making.

Dylan Heide: 21:50

Kids can rock it, though, for sure. But ya know, just incorporating it all into there. And we just took her so we just got back from the hunt Expo in Salt Lake. And we walked her around, and oh, my gosh, do you just love seeing the animals, just all the taxidermy works and stuff. And so I don't know, I think I think her having the upbringing, like being exposed to that kind of stuff is going to be, you know, really good for her especially, she's gonna know, probably a lot more about a lot of animals. And most kiddos do, you know, right. But probably also important, you know, she's not at the stage yet where she understands where food comes from. But you know, she'll get to that point where she's understanding that, you know, we hunt, we bring the meat home, and we eat it, you know, so instead of just going to the grocery store, and just picking up something that you didn't kill, you know, it's the bloods on my hands, because I'm killing that animal. You know? That's kind of that's kind of the cool part about it. You're almost grocery shopping, but for a live animal, you know, right. Yeah.

Cartwright Morris: 22:52

There's probably not too much better you can eat than a red meat from an elk. So yeah. Which is interesting. I mean, I have a friend of mine who says, you know, if you're a meat eater, you're just choosing who does your killing for you? So and you mentioned that earlier, just about the ethics of, of, of killing an animal and dying within seconds? Because I think most people do miss that, that, you know, if they get killed by a pack of wolves, that takes hours, that's, you know, mauled by bear like, yeah. How about Yeah, how much of that is that? You put that into thought? And I don't know how much you hear of critics of hunting, but just

Dylan Heide: 23:35

know, it's, it's a fair question, for sure. Because, you know, like, like, I was saying, with my elk earlier, you know, I killed him. And he died in like, I don't know, 2030 seconds, you know, I would say to the best part about that is they probably don't even realize or die, because they just got blood just emptying out, they have no idea. You know, I'm just gonna say this, because a lot of hunters probably don't see this. I don't think animals have the pain tolerance that a human does. I've seen some pretty crazy stuff with the animals, and they just like, it just like doesn't faze them. Right. So I will say, like, I've seen, you know, hundreds shoot, and shoot off like limbs of animals, and they're just like, Okay, now, what the heck, you know, like, compared to, like, if you got a limb shut off, you'd be like, Oh, my gosh, I got three limbs, you know? So I will say like this to kind of take a step back, they definitely don't have the pain tolerance and human does. Absolutely. I'm just seeing it in the field. Now, I will say though, like, you know, you kill something, especially, I would say the most ethical, in my opinion, is what the rifle just because you know, you're shooting 3000 feet per second, you can dump two or three loads in the desert, they'll be dead in 10 seconds, you know, you might have to wait up to an hour for them to die. I've seen it. You know. So that's, that's the truth about it. You know, sometimes it does take them longer to die. And I don't think a lot of people will bring that up. But that's just just how it is. But still, I mean, you were kind of touching on a little bit. You know, you got you got cold weather where they're like, for example, we got this crazy snow. animals can't get around to eat food. So they're either gonna die on one of three things they're they're gonna die well, there's a lot of things a predator can come eat them to starving because they can't find food. Three, they could be you know, too thirsty, you know, they can't find everything's frozen. And for they just straight up die from the cold, you know? So and then it's the other way around in the summertime they might get too hot. You No, they can't find shade, they die. And it's not like they just up and die. It's a long and miserable deaths for that, you know, they get wounded by trying to jump over a fence, or, you know, they're just jumping from one creek bottom to the next and they broke their leg and slowly but surely gets perfection, you know, and it just takes a long time for them to die, you know, there's nature, like, no matter how you look at it is really cruel on the animals. So, I mean, either way, you throw a hunter in the mix, I would, you know, I would definitely think that the hunters the most ethical in that, in that case for their for their death, especially because they're putting to use the meat, you know, that means providing for that, that hunters family, you know. And that's, I think that's what's really important. And I think, you know, when you have these conversations between people who are not mediators are just straight up like vegans, you know, I think a lot of people will, some people will criticize you, it depends on the type of person because some people just don't have a problem with it, they just don't want to eat meat themselves. And I understand the concept of being vegan 100% Because they just sort of don't like the depth of the animal, that's just kind of where they're at. But I would say that I would at least hope that they have my respect, because my I'm the one killing the animal. And I'm trying to do it as most most ethically as possible. And that seems to be like the biggest problem with, with what vegans have with, you know, animals as they get killed. And, and then like, like, they're, like, super thrown into this, like, tight pin. And, you know, they're just basically living miserable animal lives, and then they just get slaughtered and then shipped out, then everybody just kind of randomly goes to the store buys their meat, you know, in this case, I'm the one who's taking care of the animals death, it's on my hands. But I also get the meat from it. So I'm providing my own food, you know? Right. So I don't know, I would hope that at least have respect from from, you know, I don't have to have their like, okay to do it. But we appreciate that, you know?

Cartwright Morris: 27:52

Yeah, absolutely. Man, that I mean, in that you're making the effort to go into their territory to you're putting forth the physical exertion versus me just hopping out of my car and walking to the grocery store.

Dylan Heide: 28:06

Right? Yeah.

Cartwright Morris: 28:09

Yeah. What was the question? I had? Dylan, I had a thought that I lost. But anyway, that tends to happen. Anyway, yeah. What do you what's? Uh, you know, before Elks. Oh, this is also going to ask, Are you ever sick of eat milk? Have you gotten to that point yet?

Dylan Heide: 28:29

Ah, my wife since seems to get there more than I do. You know, I feel like a guy is pretty simple. He can eat a bowl of cereal and you'd be alright, you know, a woman stepping in to your life and you're making all these gourmet meals and you're just like, okay, you know? But no, I think I could eat, like, three times a week and be okay. Yeah. Every day, it probably start getting old after a while. But I mean, I pretty much eat at least once a week. It seems like so.

Cartwright Morris: 29:02

Yeah. So you don't have the next up seasons? Not till the fall? What's, what's some of your outdoor activities you do before them?

Dylan Heide: 29:13

Yeah, so shed hunting is what we're about to get into. So we've got, we're going to start watching out so what we do is we'll go and watch elk or deer and an elk will drop their horns and like, basically, April, so we will, we'll go watch a big herd elk that are all you know, on public as much as we can. We'll try to make sure that they're all public because if they're not, we're just gonna have to go watch a different herd. But we'll pretty much bounce around and watch several different herds and and then right when it kind of starts turning that April season, we start heading out there into the hills, and we'll pick up their for their elk sheds laying on the ground. So that's the biggest activity we have for why we do this Jackson shed hot which is May 1. And that one's pretty fun because you know, it's just a giant race. There's all kinds of people that line up and yeah, we basically just head out into the hills and it's every man for himself picking up antlers, you know, it's pretty full but yeah, we've all pretty much gone through me. And then at that point, I started kind of finding out what I draw, but there's about a month period of time there. I don't have anything going. So probably just go fishing.

Cartwright Morris: 30:27

Are you a fly fisherman?

So I actually used to be a fly fishing guide for a little while. But I know I'm actually I walleye fish so I take my boat out to the to the lake and I'll fish for walleye as well. Oh, yeah.

Cartwright Morris: 30:44

Nice. You spinner rod, what do you use? So I'm faced with a

Dylan Heide: 30:49

spinning rod we use like a little jig. So it'd be like this little plastic piece that you just throw on the water and you just kind of jiggle. And yeah, that's how you pick up volume. So, yeah, they're really good.

Cartwright Morris: 31:03

As to how big I mean, we got large mouth bass here how big the wall I get what's there

Dylan Heide: 31:08

for the bass? I wouldn't say but you know, they can get big they can, like a really big one would be like 30 inches. So really, so?

Cartwright Morris: 31:21

Well, Dylan is great to talk to you, man. Well, and I really love that you put at the top of your Instagram page is pursuing Jesus. That's number one. Number one, yeah, man. So I just kind of the end on it. I would love just to hear, you know, why putting him number one, how that affects all areas, your life,

Dylan Heide: 31:39

you know, like, it probably doesn't do anything, but give me strength and hope for everything. And in every area of my life, really. I don't know, like pursuing pursuing Jesus, obviously, like I said, needs to be number one. Because, you know, it's easy to take hunting and just can can be totally consumed by it, you know, anything, really, I mean, it could be any kind of hobby you have, or any kind of just enjoyment. It's important to know that, like, that's a gift to be able to enjoy that, especially from your creator, you know, yeah, it's constantly given thanks to him to be able to be given the opportunity to be able to do that. And, you know, I do realize there's a lot of people that just, they don't believe that that's a thing, but, I mean, I truly do, just because, you know, you're, you're ultimately not the one that said you can be born, you know, you're just kind of here in the world, you know, and a lot of people kind of have that thought process and in my opinion, 100% Like, it's definitely God who gave you the gift of life, you know, so to breathe, be appreciated of every aspect of your life, you know, in the good times, and the bad, like, you know, there's a quote from this movie called Facing the Giants. And it's, it's amazing movie, but it's a football movie. And there's, there's a part in there where they, you know, they're praying before the game, they said, You know what, God, if we, if we win this game, we're going to praise you, if we lose this game, we're going to praise you. And it's important to take that mindset into every aspect in your life, because you should be praising no matter what, especially giving you the opportunity to to live, you know, yeah, so I think that's important for sure. And

Cartwright Morris: 33:33

that's great. Well done. I appreciate you coming on man it for Monty it's out there that want to find out more about you. Where can they find you?

Dylan Heide: 33:40

You know, biggest platform I have is Instagram. I do a little bit on stuff on YouTube, but not a whole lot. You know, maybe just a couple of videos a year. So it's kind of sad. But you know, I've always said Oh, I hope that I'll put more videos out there but I don't know if I will great if not, you know whatever. But Instagram I'm on there all the time. So yeah, you can catch me on Instagram with @fishhuntwyo was what it is

Cartwright Morris: 34:05
