The Hunt Backcountry Podcast
Backcountry hunters talking backcountry hunting. No advertisers or sponsors, no fluff, no BS. We discuss tactics, strategies, gear, hunt stories, and more — featuring a wide variety of guests, from industry experts to everyday listeners of the show. Your hosts, Steve & Mark, have decades of experience hunting the mountains for elk, deer, bear, antelope, sheep, mountain goats, moose, caribou, and more. While this podcast is 100% independent and free from advertising or sponsorship, it is brought to you by Exo Mtn Gear, which we own and operate. Exo’s mission is to build the best backcountry hunting pack systems available, provide the best service possible, and do it all right here in the USA.

Kody & Trent from Born & Raised Outdoors join us to discuss the different styles and approaches of camping for elk hunts. We discuss the pros and cons of hunting from a roadside base camp, packing in for a backcountry spike camp, or hunting with camp on our back for a bivy-style hunt.
As we discuss in the show, there is no one "right" way to approach an elk hunt. Rather, you should understand the pros and cons of each style, and understand when and where each approach makes the most sense for your goals.

Navy SEAL, Ultrarunner, and Hunter — Chadd Wright (@chadwright278) — joins us on the latest #HuntBackcountry podcast to talk about adventure and adversity. Chadd shares how the lessons he has learned as a SEAL and Ultrarunner can help YOU as a backcountry hunter...
"True adventure is when you embark on a journey where the most likely outcome is failure. If you want to experience true adventure in your life, you have to let go of the fear of failure — because failure will happen. If you fear failure, you will remain stagnant for the rest of your life." —Chadd Wright
