Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive

In this show we are joined by podcast listeners, who happen to be both buddies and brothers-in-law. They tell the story of a fun hunt in Montana where they filled elk and deer tags in a single day. But it isn't all about success; they also share the lessons they learned from mistakes they made previously.

Steve returns from his Sheep hunt in Alaska. We are saving the full hunt story for a later show, once our buddy Tyler can join. In this episode we focus on gear choices, lessons learned, and more.

The backcountry is big, beautiful...and unforgiving. We shouldn't pursue the backcountry in fear, but we should be prepared for the possibility of difficult, or even dangerous conditions. If you find yourself in that moment where you or someone you are with needs rescue, what do you do?

Mark is joined by John Hakes from Mesa Precision Arms. Together they address a wide variety of rifle-related questions from the audience. They talk about Mark's upgraded Tikka build (exomtngear.com/tikka), upgrades for other factory rifles, fully custom rifle builds, optics selection, and much more.
