In this episode, we sit down with Ron Niziolek, a life long bow hunter from Cody, Wyoming whose passion for elk hunting places him deep in some of the most bear-dense terrain in the lower 48. In areas where nearly every drainage holds a grizzly bear, success isn't just measured by filling a tag- it's measured by getting home safe.

During the 2024 Wyoming elk season, Ron encountered 41 grizzly bears and experienced multiple bluff charges.

This is an honest conversation about passion, preparation, and coexistence and what it takes to continue hunting elk in wild places without letting fear push you out of the mountains you love. If you hunt, hike, or spend time in grizzly country, this is an episode you don't want to miss.
