In this episode, I talk with Jeff Lusk about a solo moose hunt he went on this past hunting season.  While it’s always fun to recap an interesting hunt, it’s even more fun learning about the struggles involved in any such adventure. 

What Jeff learned on his hunt can directly apply to your adventures, even if you’re not into hunting.  He was alone, battling the cold, having debates in his head about whether he should be there, and left to deal with the physical toll that packing out a moose by himself.

Please enjoy this episode with Jeff Lusk. I have no doubt you’ll get some good nuggets of wisdom from it!
