Ep 498: Alaskan Adventures with Tyler Freel

This week I am joined by the host of Tundra Talk Tyler Freel. Tyler is a very accomplished sheep hunter and really all around hunter. I love talking about Alaska and the more we talk about it the more excited I get to go up there. In this podcast I can’t help but talk about sheep hunting as Tyler has quite the passion for it. We also talk caribou hunting as I am currently planning a caribou hunt for this upcoming year. Tyler shares his epic sheep hunt from this past fall where they doubled up at close range which was quite the hunt. Another really cool story from this hunt and just about Tyler in general is that he is probably one of the few hunters at least in modern history to have taken a grizzly bear with a stone broadhead! Such a crazy experience and a really cool story to hear.
