Russ Giesbrecht didn't inherit the outfitting world, he walked into a government office at 18, flipped to the page with the farthest outfitter from home, and started making phone calls. That call led him to the Yukon, and he never left.
In this episode, Robbie sits down with Russ, owner of Tombstone Outfitters, to talk about hunting in one of the most remote and logistically demanding territories in North America - the Tombstone Mountains of the Yukon.
We're talking Dall sheep, moose, caribou, and grizzly bear in country where everything is earned and nothing comes easy.
Russ breaks down what it actually takes to operate a wilderness outfit this far north, from hand-clearing airstrips one stick at a time, snowmobiling in 60 drums of supplies before the season opens, and spending 300 days a year in the area he calls home. If a Yukon wilderness hunt has ever been on your list, this conversation will tell you exactly what you're getting into.
