Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Archery & Bowhunting

Trevor Thompson joins us on the Hunt Backcountry Podcast to share his experience getting into hunting and traditional archery, his journey of becoming an assistant guide in Alaska, and how his prior experiences as a SEAL, skydiver, base jumper, and backcountry skier relate to his hunting pursuits.

Sneaking in on two bull elk that are fighting, then arrowing one of those bulls on your first-ever bowhunt? That sounds too good to be true, but that is exactly how Stephen Follett's first archery hunt concluded this fall. Stephen joins us to share that story and the lessons he learned on his first-ever archery hunt.

Steve & Mark discuss how to effectively use time in the final weeks leading up to a big hunt. They share what they are personally doing, as they find themselves 5 weeks out from their Alaskan Caribou Hunt, and they also provide general guidance for making the best use of the limited time available before any big hunt.

We welcome John Barklow back to the Hunt Backcountry Podcast. This is a wide-ranging conversation, which covers many topics, such as: where technical advancements are stalling and progressing as it relates to hunting clothing, how to pair skills with gear, embracing what you don't know as a hunter, and much more.
