Finally! Kevin Estela and I sit down to recap our bear hunt and fishing trip. Kevin, with Fieldcraft Survival, flew out to Idaho from North Carolina to chase bruins over a bait site. In this episode, we talk about the gear we used, the shared experience, our fishing wins, and our plans for redemption this coming Fall!
