We get a lot of calls into the Bone Cave from hunters who would like to hunt the Great Northwest. The Great Northwest, to us, includes British Columbia, the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Alaska (and even western Alberta). Where would you go if you were only to go a couple of times in your hunting life? What type of hunt would you choose - spot and stalk or horseback? What species - fannin sheep, big moose, muskox, Dall sheep, grizzly bear, billy goat, wolf, caribou, elk? The list seems endless. In this episode Brad and Brian answer some of these questions using their vast experience hunting in the Great Northwest. Thank you for listening! For more head to RollingBones.com

The Wyoming Wildlife Task Force is proposing six additional changes to Wyoming hunting laws. As of early summer 2022 they are seeking public input on these changes, any one of which will have a significant impact on the way non-residents and residents will hunt big game in Wyoming in the future. The proposals effect antelope, deer and elk hunting in the state - none of these species were impacted in the first round of changes implemented in 2022 which were covered in Hunt the World Episode 103. Brian and Brad discuss what these possible changes could mean to your hunt strategy and your Wyoming hunt plans. RBO is ready to help with your strategy.  Check out a membership at RollingBones.com

As dangerous bear-human interactions increase, more and more folks are realizing that Colorado has too many bears and not enough hunters. Our guest today knows that well. He’s retired Colorado Parks & Wildlife Biologist Jeff Yost. Jeff also happens to be Kelli Poole’s former boss. Kelli is Rolling Bone’s Applications and Adventures Coach and she joins Brian and Brad for this episode. Jeff has unique insight into this problem and pulls no punches when talking about the politics of wildlife management. He also describes the technique used by the CPW, with Kelli’s help, to determine bear density and population in certain areas of the state. At the end of the day- how does a state manage the population of an apex predator when politics collide with sensible conservation and an uninformed public is asked to vote on the issue.

After a grueling Dall sheep hunt in 2002 Jim Winjum harvested what he came for - but on the way down the Mackenzie Mountains in the NWT things almost came to halt as Jim’s boots gave out. That trip sparked this engineering graduate from Montana State University’s mission to design the world’s best boot for mountain hunting. Now, 20 years later, Kenetrek is one of the world’s premiere manufacturers of quality hunting boots. In this episode, Brian, Brad and Bryan Martin re-live the story of Kenetrek as well as talking about what goes into the design and manufacture of a great boot (and socks).
