Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Hunt Planning

Steve & Mark recently filled both of their bear tags on the first evening of what was meant to be a 4-day backpack hunt. In this podcast episode, they discuss the hunt story, lessons learned along the way, and more.

Mark and Emory have an unscripted, informal conversation about several aspects of gear where they have differing opinions and experiences. They discuss the importance of figuring out what works for YOU. And why getting to a place where you're not focused on gear is the best place to be.

Joseph von Benedikt returns to the Hunt Backcountry Podcast to talk about a wet-aging process for venison and his favorite way to prepare and cook wild game. We learn about his experience hunting Kodiak from a boat this past fall. And, of course, we dive into some rifle-related topics, including bullets and ballistics.

"Success in filling a tag does not mean a successful hunt: A first time elk hunter's highs, lows, and valuable survival and hunting lessons." That is a quote from today's Hunt Backcountry Podcast guest, Matthew. He shares the many lessons he learned, and the mistakes he made, on his first "successful" elk hunt.
