How To Achieve Success As A NEW Whitetail Bowhunter


Listen Later

What does it take to operate at the highest levels across multiple domains of life? Justin Morris reveals the mindset and methods that have allowed him to excel in federal law enforcement while passionately pursuing bow hunting, jiu-jitsu, and outdoor adventures.

As a former military member who transitioned through private contracting into local police work and eventually to the Department of Justice, Justin brings a unique perspective on discipline and performance. His approach is refreshingly straightforward: go all-in on everything, surround yourself with people who make you feel "common among uncommon men," and maintain relentless forward momentum.

"I have to constantly be doing something," Justin explains, describing his 4 AM wake-ups, daily jiu-jitsu training, and full workdays followed by bow hunting or other pursuits. But rather than presenting himself as superhuman, he shares practical insights about simplifying processes, eliminating wasted time, and maintaining focus on fundamentals. His philosophy that "it's easier to maintain than restart" applies equally to fitness, skills development, and life management.

Justin also candidly discusses his rapid immersion into bow hunting over the past two years—the mistakes made, lessons learned, and the humbling experience of a dangerous fall that reinforced the importance of safety protocols even for experienced outdoorsmen. His reflections on hunting smaller properties, finding joy in the process rather than just success, and planning for strategic improvement in upcoming seasons offer valuable insights for hunters at any experience level.

Perhaps most compelling is Justin's insight into how these intense physical challenges provide essential mental space in a high-stress life. Whether in the silence of a tree stand or the discipline of martial arts training, these pursuits offer more than just accomplishment—they create a counterbalance to professional demands and a connection to what matters most.
