Finding Backcountry Podcast

Dustin Wittwer

When I was 18, I saw a picture of a successful backcountry hunter packing a mule deer buck out of the high country on his back. Until then, I did not know that was possible. That was over 14 years ago. I have been searching for that experience ever since. I have been improving my woodsmanship and hunting skills. I have been learning any chance I get. In short, I have been on the journey of Finding Backcountry ever since. This podcast is my journey.

    Dustin and Jeremy meet up at the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo to discuss some telling statistical data Jeremy has been gathering at his archery shop over 5+ years and more than 500 data points. Fixed blade vs. Mechanical. Bow poundage. Shot distance. Wound percentage. We discuss all the major hot button topics with data to back up the numbers. Enjoy!

    *One of the few episodes with an "ad" or promo code. Gulo Outdoors was kind enough to offer their booth space for the podcast. It was the least we could do to say thanks.
