Let's Go Guided

Brogan Didier of Burnt River Outfitters grew up hunting the mountains of northern British Columbia and he never really stopped. What started with his grandfather leading the family into the bush for moose and big game eventually became a hands-on guiding operation built on a simple standard: someone cuts a tag on every hunt.

In this episode, Robbie sits down with Brogan to talk about elk, moose, sheep, and whitetail hunting in BC's rugged north, what it looks like to run a small-scale outfit where personal success rates are the whole point, as well as the moments that remind him why this country is worth protecting.

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.

Jason Silliker of Canadian Premier Hunts has been taking people into the Alberta wilderness for years but what sets him apart isn't just the country he hunts. It's the standard he holds himself to.

Generations of outfitting heritage, ~45 pre-baited bait sites put in by snowmobile through four feet of snow, and a simple operating philosophy: he plans every hunt as if it were his own.

In this episode, Robbie sits down with Jason to talk black bear, waterfowl, and wolf hunting in the remote northwest corner of Alberta, including why Jason believes ethical bear hunting in the spring means hunting over bait, how he maintains near-100% success rates while targeting trophy animals only, and what happened when two clients shot small bears on night one and asked to buy a second tag.

Authentic Canadian wilderness hunting.

Chance Marshall has been guiding hunters across Wyoming's public lands for 18 years, and his operation — Extreme Outfitters — isn't built like most.

In this episode, Chance breaks down what makes Wyoming one of North America's most underrated big game destinations: world-class antelope populations, diverse elk and mule deer units, and a preference point system that rewards patience and strategy.

Chance walks Robbie through how he matches hunters to the right unit based on physicality, goals, and timeline, not just point totals. He also shares the story of guiding a nearly 90-year-old client on what might have been his final hunt, a three-day antelope pursuit that came together on the last possible day.

If you've been building points, thinking about a Western hunt, or just want to understand how a serious Wyoming outfitter operates, this is the episode to start with.

Devin Beebe didn't set out to be an outfitter. In 2008, when the oil patch collapsed and life handed him a crossroads, he made a phone call to his dad — a seasoned guide — and asked a simple question: if I buy an outfitting camp, will you come guide with me?

His dad said yes on the spot. Timberlost Outfitting was born.

In this episode, Robbie sits down with Devin to talk about building a whitetail, bear, and waterfowl operation from the ground up in Saskatchewan with zero guiding experience, the family and friendship that held it together through a challenging first year, and what 17 seasons in the field actually teaches you about hunters, animals, and the land.

A quick note: Robbie's audio has some distortion this episode due to a technical issue on our end. Vin's side is crystal clear — and honestly, his story is compelling enough that we weren't willing to wait. Apologies for the imperfection, and thanks for listening.Vin Elliott didn't grow up as a hunter. But one trip into the New Zealand backcountry with a group of mates — and a solo morning that stopped him in his tracks — changed the entire direction of his life.

In this episode, Robbie sits down with Vin, owner of Frontier Guiding, to talk about that moment, what it ignited, and how it eventually led him to build a guiding operation dedicated to showing people what New Zealand really is — not just the hunting, but the country, the terrain, and the kind of experience that stays with you long after you're home.

From a client who was told he'd never walk again completing a proper alpine hunt, to watching first-timers step into the Southern Alps and have their world quietly rearranged — Vin guides because he knows exactly what that feeling is worth.
