And the hunts this year were below the normal physical demands. I was in PT until late August and under a limited regimen until then. While driving home from the Yukon, I felt how bad I was sucking while climbing those mountains. It got me thinking about my statement to Kim that I would hunt elk until I was 65. Now, that's only six years off. No way I'm pulling the plug."

In Today's episode Byron recounts The Battle of Shewan: August 8, 2008 Thirty Marines bravely fought back waves of Taliban fighters for over eight hours of vicious close-quarters combat, suffering hour after hour of withering enemy fire and countless volleys of RPG, mortar, and rocket fire. One by one, their crew served weapons ran dry as the battle raged on until the last remaining magazines were re-distributed, and the thirty men conducted a devastating counterattack against the numerically superior and entrenched Taliban force that collapsed their left flank and sparked a panic amongst the enemy. These Reconnaissance Marines fought past the point of exhaustion to continue their relentless assault until the Taliban were driven from the battlefield, leaving the city littered with spent casings, scarred buildings, and the broken bodies of the enemy. No Americans were killed during the fighting.Byron Owen started his Marine Corps career in the infantry, before transitioning to the intelligence field, then later cyber.
