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.
Chris aka the muledragger on Instagram joins the podcast. Chris has one of the most incredible mule pack strings that he's been fine tuning for decades. He jumps on to tell the story of how he got into dragging mules around the backcountry and how he uses them now. Enjoy!

Wyatt was the lucky winner of one of the Hunt Expo Bison permits in 2023. He jumps on to tell the story of hunting with my brother and killing an absolute GIANT bison after the hunt catches them by surprise and isn't as easy as they thought it might be. Enjoy!

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.

Jason does an epic smash and grab on a late season archery elk hunt. He recaps the story of stalking into 35 yards of a 360"+ bull for hours before getting a shot. And gives some tips on recovering a bull that's hit less than perfectly. We also finish up with some pro tips for success going into an application season. Enjoy!
