Host Brent Wheat is joined by Suzi Huntington to discuss her incredibly successful bear hunt in Northern Alberta. After tagging out on two massive bears in just two hours using a Ruger American .308, Susie returned home to a wave of online backlash from old friends and keyboard warriors. We dive into the science of spring bear meat (and why even coyotes won't eat it), the reality of conservation funding, and why you need to stop putting off your bucket-list adventures.

Key Takeaways:

● Spring bear meat is poor quality because the animals have been living off fat reserves during hibernation and carry a high risk of trichinosis.

● Hunters and anglers fund the vast majority of state and provincial wildlife conservation, not animal rights activists.

● Stop waiting for the 'perfect time' to take your dream adventure; life is short and tomorrow is never guaranteed.
