We continue the "Before & After the Hunt" podcast series with people just like YOU... listeners of the podcast. Throughout this series, we will be speaking with everyday hunters as they plan and prepare for a specific hunt, and then we will have a follow-up episode after their hunt to hear how the hunt unfolded, the lessons they learned, and more.

Today, we are speaking Bryan, who completed a DIY moose hunt in Alaska this past fall. We hear how the hunt went, the lessons they learned, and how they plan to hunt AK again in the future.

Today's episode tells the story of a special father-and-son hunt for Caleb, and his son, Clayten. This past fall, when Clayten was just 12-years-old, he was able to kill his first Dall Sheep in Alaska's Wrangell Mountains.

Not only is this a cool story, it is a great insight into hunting with youth. No matter the age of the hunter, or the species being pursued, there are lessons that can be learned about how to get youth involved in hunting as you listen to Clayten share his unique perspective on hunting in this podcast.

MM 220 | How Steep Is Too Steep? Plus bear scouting, footwear choices, and more...

"I won the hunting lottery yesterday and saw I was a sole tag winner for a ram tag in a unit here in Colorado. I never thought it would happen!"

That is part of an email that we received from a podcast listener, Joe. Now, after the hunt, Joe joins us on the show to discuss how he prepared for this hunt. What he learned during the hunt. And how the ultimate success of harvesting his ram came to be.

This episode is both entertaining, and also informational for anyone who is planning a hunt that is for a new species, or in a new place.
