Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive

Our guest on this episode of the #HuntBackcountry podcast is wildlife biologist Chris Roe. Chris is a student and hunter of elk with decades of experience in the field, as well as formal education in animal behavior. Chris helps us understand how to more effectively “speak the language” of elk.

You called a bull towards you, but he wouldn’t come close enough — what could you have done better? The elk are quiet, what should you do? When should you cow call, when should you bugle? You’ve been hunting the area for a while without much luck — should you move on or stick it out?

What is the best stove system for backcountry hunting? Mark and Steve take a look at several good options, comparing them, highlighting their pros and cons, and giving you the information you need to make an informed decision.

This episode is unlike anything we have ever done before. Steve and I have been testing a handful of headlamps for a few months now, and in this show we dive deep into our review and comparisons of each model. While each headlamp has its pros and cons, there were some that were clearly better than others.
