In this episode we go through page after page of Branden’s own journaled first hand account of what ended up being a 20+ day hunt. Dissecting each individual day down to the most minuet details from the temperature of each day, to the amount of miles hiked per day. More elk encounters than most people might see in their lifetime, all in the span of 2 weeks.

On this episode host Jake Stevens dives into what has been a very controversial topic in the Montana senate bill 143 with experienced hunting guide Conner Brown. Conner shares his thoughts on SB 143 with great perspective as not only a hunting guide, but also an extremely accomplished DIY, public land hunter. Also discussed is the lifestyle of being a hunting guide, and the sacrifice that comes along with it. The ins and outs of hunting Alaska, as well as what role confidence plays in finding hunting success. This episode dives thoroughly into an extremely divisive subject in which no feelings are spared. Those who may be offended by viewpoints differing from their own have been warned.

Host Jake Stevens is joined by Branden Stevens, and biologist Brad Tribby to talk about a grizzly charge in Wyoming! Brad revisits the details of that day in vivid detail, and we discuss the importance of bear safety while out hunting in grizzly country. An absolute must listen!

Branden and Jake begin to tell the story from their best elk hunting trip ever! After reviewing their 2020 hunting season, Jake and Branden discuss a successful elk hunt all the way from the drawing to the pack out. No detail is soared as they take a careful look into just how everything played out. You might want to take notes when Branden talks because his wisdom is unmatched and we had the opportunity to hear directly from him on some of his methods on successful hunting. This is part one of a two part series! Stay tuned for part two!
