After a failed recording, some technical issues, and much internal healing over the past few months, Aron is ready to finally recap his 2023 Elk Hunt with South Cox.  As part of the healing process, they chose to relive the "kick in the ding ding" that was their Colorado Elk Hunt this past fall.  Always a great time having South on the show, even if it did drum up some painful memories for both Aron and South!We are proud to partner with some of the best companies in the industry.

Aron welcomes long time friend Clint Casper to the show.  Clint is a very active outdoor writer for numerous publications and blog style websites.  They talk the changes they have seen in the hunting industry and the changes that have been brought about via social media.  They talk about the pitfalls of constant interaction in those channels and the desire to maybe step away or "retire" from "the 'Gram!".  Clint also breaks down his archery setup and some key ingredients to success in the field.

Aron welcomes Dr. Preston Ward to the podcast this week.  Dr. Ward is the driving force behind Man Physio, the physical therapy program built for the outdoorsman.  Dr Ward traveled up to Riverton to give a hand on session for the crew here at Kifaru, helping give tricks and tips to longevity in the mountains.  He and Aron go over the items they worked on, and some of the things that many outdoor athletes could do to better improve their experiences on the mountain.  Lots of knowledge passed around this podcast!
