Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Rifle Hunting

What is the best cartridge and bullet for hunting Grizzly Bears? How do you learn to spot your impacts when shooting a rifle? Does a bullet's grain weight matter for hunting? Is increased wind drift a reason to avoid shooting lighter bullets? We answer all of these questions, and more, on this Monday Minute podcast...

This video podcast was recorded on our Alaska moose hunt, as we spent time waiting for a weather window for our transporter to come fly us out of the field. We discuss how we killed 4 moose, the challenges faced on this hunt, how we dealt with countless Grizzly bears, the gear that worked well, and more…

This podcast was recorded on our Alaska caribou hunt, as we spent a day stuck in camp due to a flooded river. Steve, Mark, Justin, & Jeff discuss how they each killed a caribou bull in the days before this conversation. They detail how each encounter happened, what they did right, and what they did wrong.

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.
