Montana bull...all of 1.5 hours.

Here's a quick LLM analysis:

  1. Strong Personal Ownership and Independence
    • BuzzH repeatedly emphasizes that how, when, or where he hunts is his choice:
      “my tags, my season, my choice.” Hunt Talk+2Hunt Talk+2
    • He doesn’t defer to outside judgments about what “counts” as proper hunting (public vs private land, etc). Hunt Talk
    • Tip for you/apply it: Own your decisions in your domain (for example: in your HVAC business or fitness goals). When you speak confidently about “this is how we do things and why,” you build credibility.
  2. Ethics and Legitimacy Matter
    • While he is independent, he still draws a line: “As long as hunting is done ethically and legally … carry on.” Hunt Talk
    • He dismisses what he sees as shallow or purely opportunistic approaches (e.g., “truck hunting” vs “wilderness hiking”). He won’t judge “private land” per se, but he cares about the effort and legitimacy.
    • Tip for you: Emphasize your ethical under-pinnings (e.g., family business, doing right by community, high standards). That resonates.
  3. Willingness to Disagree / Push Back
    • Many posts show him challenging others, correcting assumptions, not shying away from conflict. For example:
      “I find it pretty entertaining that I know more about YOUR draw system in AZ than you do.” Hunt Talk+1
    • He doesn’t always sugar-coat things.
    • Tip for you: Having a strong voice can differentiate you, but you’ll want to balance it so you don’t alienate your audience. Clear but respectful disagreements build authority.
  4. Storytelling / Experience Sharing
    • He shares personal hunt stories (“fell off the porch for mule deer and elk in Wyoming”). Hunt Talk+1
    • These stories lend authenticity and show he has been “in the field.”
    • Tip for you: Whether in fitness, business, or marketing, your “real stories” (e.g., case studies, client outcomes, personal journey) help people relate and trust you.
  5. Low Concern for External Approval
    • He often conveys that he doesn’t care what others think of his style:
      “I quit giving a shit what people thought of how, when, or why I hunt …” Hunt Talk
    • Tip for you: Confidence matters. If you clearly believe in your approach, that comes through. But also watch out for sounding dismissive of others in a way that might hurt your brand.
Of course it is colored by what the LLM knows about me and the marketing content and strategy I'm usually using it for.

What does the LLM have to give for a tip for those triggered by the subject’s personality and success?
 
Forky Finder,
Yes I do have a goal. Kill an elk every year to feed my friends and family. Have done so for the last several years so when I said gaining on him I meant 13 to 97.. a joke. Unlike many people on this site, I look listen and watch how the real killers do it ..Buzz and Greenhorn .. and put it to good use. Sorry for the delay in a response, but I’ve been in the mountains hunting and trying to put that knowledge to use helping my friends who hunt their ass off kill an elk.
My shoulders are old enough I can’t pat myself on the the back Mallardsx2. Read into stuff how you want, my post was a thank you and congratulations to Buzz. Nothing else.

You got the right rifle for the job if you’re shooting a browning.

Here you go:
A good LLM tip for anyone “triggered” by someone’s personality or success is pretty simple:
Don’t hunt their attitude—hunt the information.


If a guy’s style rubs you wrong, filter out the delivery and keep whatever’s useful. If nothing is useful, move on. Getting wound up over someone else’s confidence or track record never filled a tag or made anyone a better hunter.


Take what helps you, leave what doesn’t, and spend the saved energy scouting instead of stewing.
 
Pedantic; a pedantic person is someone who is overly concerned with minor details, rules, or formalities, often to the point of being annoying or pretentious. They tend to correct small errors in an ostentatious display of their own knowledge, focusing on trivial aspects instead of the bigger picture. This behavior can come across as narrow-minded, schoolmasterly, and tiresome.

It’s my favorite word. A county surveyor called me that because he makes me follow every Word of every single regulation to a T on every submittal, and the only one that applies to him is that he must provide review comments within 30 days or else the subdivision is automatically approved. In his words, I am pedantic for expecting him to follow the only regulation that applies to him. I squeeze that word in whenever a get a chance since learning it.

I asked AI to help me understand more, as i encounter similar things, so it wrote me a summary of what i imagine is required reading at the permitting departments :)

## **Back Cover Blurb**

Have you ever submitted a perfectly reasonable permit application only to receive a 37-page response explaining that your north arrow is facing “spiritually west”?
Have you ever wondered why a simple driveway requires twelve signatures, three surveys, a lunar alignment chart, and a notarized affidavit from someone named “Carl”?

Welcome to *Pedantics as a Professional*, the indispensable guide to understanding the mysterious world of county permitting—where the rules are made up and the timelines definitely don’t matter.

## **Excerpt: Chapter 4 — Interpretation Is Everything**

“Code Section 7.4.2.1(c) states that drainage plans must be ‘appropriate.’ What does *appropriate* mean? Excellent question. Reviewer A believes appropriate means a full watershed analysis. Reviewer B believes appropriate means adding a north arrow. Reviewer C believes appropriate is a state of mind.

To ensure compliance, please submit all three.”

**Excerpt: Chapter 10 — Achieving Zen Through Delayed Approvals**

“If your permit is delayed, breathe deeply. Note that this delay is not a setback, but an opportunity… to revise your plans again because the comment cycle reset without explanation.”

---

## **Closing Page**

Remember: Permitting isn’t about getting permission.
It’s about the *journey*… specifically, the journey from the counter, to your car, back to the counter, back home to scan the same document again, and then back to the counter.
