Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Rifle Hunting

In this podcast, we discuss the rifle that Steve built for all three of his Alaska hunts this fall. We discuss each component of the rifle (chassis, scope, suppressor, etc), why he chose the 6mm Creedmoor, what he uses for shooting support (tripod, bipod, etc), and how he manages ballistics in the field, and more.

Form returns to the Hunt Backcountry Podcast to answer your questions that were submitted after our two-part podcast series on "Why Smaller Calibers May Be Better For Big Game Hunting". We discuss recommendations for non-lead bullets, how to find terminal ballistics data, compare the 22 vs 6mm Creedmoor, and much more.

Jon Pynch is one of the top precision rifle competitors in the country, as well as a very experienced mountain hunter. He joins us on the Hunt Backcountry Podcast to discuss how we all, as hunters, can become more proficient rifle shooters in a mountain environment.

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.
