I roll a solo episode on my drive home from work answering some of the questions asked on social media. Topics include over the counter tags, burning points, gear and more. Enjoy!

Stephen Rosso joins the podcast for a break from mule deer to talk about killing big bulls late season. Stephen has chased big bulls late season with his horses here in Wyoming. We chat about scoring bull elk. We also chat about migration vs true late season bull elk hunts. Dustin explains the almost once in a lifetime Nevada bull elk tag he has coming up too! Enjoy.

I was a guest on Kifarucast with my good buddy, Aron Snyder. Aron is the owner of Kifaru International, the premium backpack line. Aron has forgotten more about backpacking and backpack food than most know. Aron and I chop up the business idea for Backpack Logistics and how it came to be. Enjoy!

This was a very uncovering episode with Kyle Kamp from Valley to Peak Nutrition. We discuss all things backpack food nutrition and theory. Kyle is clearly a bank of knowledge on how food works with our bodies, what to pack and why, and how to maximize physical performance on long backcountry hunts. We discuss how this will integrate with our new custom meal business, Backpack Logistics, that allows you to build a full day's worth of food. Enjoy!

The long sabbatical from the show was for good reason. Jason and I have been working on an all new shopping experience for backpackers and hikers. Backpack Logistics takes the stress and worry out of backpack food. Our website offers a custom meal kit builder for creating an entire day's worth of backpack food, built to your specs, and shipped to you ready to hike. It's a revolutionary way to order and prepare for a backpack trip. 

The custom meal builder will add up the total calories, weight, and calories per ounce of your entire day's worth of food, as you plug and play different options. The chart will also show you the exact macros of the food you added. 

Another way to shop is the "pro packs." These are pre-built day of food from experts in the hiking/backpacking industry. Experienced backpackers like Jordan Budd, Tony Trietch, Shedcrazy, and ourselves have built their ideal day of food for you to try.

Listen to the full episode for a 25% off discount code good until June 30, 2022 on your preorder over $50. We hope this brings you value and makes your backpack trips easier. Orders will begin shipping mid-July.

We are in the middle of application season! Here is my thought process as I navigate the western hunting states. Mule deer is top of my list. Listen to which states and species I eliminate from my application along with which season dates I strategically choose to maximize my mule deer hunts this year. I also mention a sneak peek into a side hustle I'll be launching soon. Enjoy!

We made it! 100 episodes. It doesn't mean anything and took way too long to get here, but at the same time, I hope it's been valuable. To those who have been here since the beginning, thank you! To those just now finding us, thank you! I'm looking forward to 100 more.

I finally call one of the guests I've been wanting on the show since I started it, my Dad. Floyd talks about hunting with me and Jason as kids, hunting with his dad and grandad growing up, and how the hunting game has changed. Then I dive into your questions from social media. I really hope this podcast has been valuable to all the listeners. Thanks again! Enjoy!
