On this episode of the Panoramic Outdoors podcast, we sit down with Dr. John Delony for an open and honest conversation about hunting, mental health, and the deep emotional connection people have with the outdoors. Dr. Delony brings his expertise as a mental health professional, author, and lifelong outdoorsman to explore how time in nature can help us manage stress, anxiety, and the everyday pressures of life.
We talk about the mindset that comes with hunting—how it teaches patience, focus, and respect for the animals we pursue. The discussion takes a deeper turn as we look at the emotional side of taking an animal’s life, the weight that comes with it, and how to process that loss in a healthy and meaningful way. Dr. Delony shares insight on the importance of acknowledging those feelings rather than suppressing them, and how that honesty can actually strengthen our connection to the land, the hunt, and ourselves.
From personal stories in the field to lessons about family, community, and purpose, this episode explores why so many people find peace and clarity in wild places. Whether you hunt, fish, or simply enjoy the quiet of being outside, this conversation is a reminder that the outdoors can be one of the most powerful tools for healing, growth, and connection.
