In this episode, host Matthew Morris sits down for a fireside chat at bear camp, joined by guides Paul Nagengast, Cody Anderson, and Ira Hook, along with fellow hunters Ryan and Donovan. The conversation captures the first few days of their bear camp adventure in southern Arizona — a hunt full of firsts. It’s Matthew’s first time hunting bears with hounds, and it’s also the first time the talented guides from P & D Hunts have worked with a traditional bowhunter. Gathered around the campfire with a cold beer, the group shares stories, laughs, and the sounds of puppies, hounds, and the crackling fire in the background.
