Having returned from the mountains of Central Idaho, Sam sits down to spend some time reflecting on one of his most incredible, epic and intense hunting trips to date. Invited to join friends Galen, Chris and Ben for the 2024 season, the crew took their horseback pack trip 25 miles into the backcountry searching for elk in untouched country. Last week in episode 208 the four men shared the story with us from around the fire in Elk Camp. This week Sam dives into greater details throughout the trip; talking specifics about the hunt and the experience, including the mental and physical challenges he was not entirely prepared for. He also shares the story of their adventure getting off the mountain, and how the crew was awake for over 24 hours on the last day in an effort to overcome some risky challenges and make it home safely. The Steep and Deep country is both beautiful and brutal.
