In this episode of the Mountain Dude Podcast, we sit down with Richard Bettencourt and his dad Dick Bettencourt of Steep Kuntry Outdoors — a father-and-son elk hunting duo who represent what hunting is really about: grit, family, and perseverance.

From their first archery bull to building Steep Kuntry into a respected western hunting brand, the Bettencourts share the highs, lows, and lessons learned chasing elk deep in Idaho’s backcountry. They talk about mindset, physical training, and what it takes to stay driven when the mountain humbles you.

You’ll also hear the hilarious backstory behind Dick’s nickname, “Angry Dick,” and how he turned his passion for craftsmanship into a business with Angry Dick Leather, building premium, handmade holsters right here in Idaho.

If you love authentic hunting stories, real conversation, and gear built for the grind — this one’s for you.
