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.
