Being an outfitter or a guide is something that many people consider a dream job but, to be successful at it is a whole different story. Growing up as an outfitter's son, Mike Stroff is no stranger to this backbreaking work and has made it his life through his company SOE Hunts and hosting Savage Outdoors TV and the One. Mike shares some tips on what to look for when selecting a guide, what gear can be a game changer, and how important genetics and age are when hunting that perfect animal. We also talk about the changes Mike has seen over the years in the outfitting business and what's coming up for his shows this season. We start this one off with an epic story Mike experienced while hunting in Alaska that involves bucking horses, being charged by a grizzly bear, a rusted gun that would not fire when needed most & having to walk back to camp after being left by his horse.
