Sneaking in on two bull elk that are fighting, then arrowing one of those bulls on your first-ever bowhunt? That sounds too good to be true, but that is exactly how Stephen Follett's first archery hunt concluded this fall. Stephen joins us to share that story and the lessons he learned on his first-ever archery hunt.

Each year, going back to 2018, we have made a list of our "gear of the year". The goal is to select items that made a difference for us on our hunts that year. In this Hunt Backcountry Podcast episode, we share our selections for 2024 and discuss why each item made the list.

Mark is solo today to answer your listener-submitted questions on this Monday Minute podcast episode. He answers questions about his archery shot sequence, insulated down booties, reducing rifle recoil to spot impacts, a budget chassis rifle, and tips for packraft hunts.

Founder of Outdoor Vitals, Tayson Whittaker, joins us on the Hunt Backcountry Podcast to discuss his 100-mile solo hike in the Wind River Range of Wyoming.
