MM 221 | A Listener's "Death Hike" Story
Instead of answering listener-submitted questions on this Monday Minute, we get a listener of the show on to today's podcast and ask them some questions. Patrick joins us to tell us about his recent experience putting together and completing his own version of a Death Hike. You'll hear about how he made his route, how he trained, how the hike went, what he learned, and what he hopes to accomplish in the future.

460 | A 12-year-old's Alaskan Dall Sheep Hunt
Today's episode tells the story of a special father-and-son hunt for Caleb, and his son, Clayten. This past fall, when Clayten was just 12-years-old, he was able to kill his first Dall Sheep in Alaska's Wrangell Mountains.
Not only is this a cool story, it is a great insight into hunting with youth. No matter the age of the hunter, or the species being pursued, there are lessons that can be learned about how to get youth involved in hunting as you listen to Clayten share his unique perspective on hunting in this podcast.

459 | Colorado Bighorn Sheep Hunt (A Listener Story)
"I won the hunting lottery yesterday and saw I was a sole tag winner for a ram tag in a unit here in Colorado. I never thought it would happen!"
That is part of an email that we received from a podcast listener, Joe. Now, after the hunt, Joe joins us on the show to discuss how he prepared for this hunt. What he learned during the hunt. And how the ultimate success of harvesting his ram came to be.
This episode is both entertaining, and also informational for anyone who is planning a hunt that is for a new species, or in a new place.

Top notch
Incredible to have such a deep pool of knowledge without sponsorships calling into question the legitimacy of the information. I taught myself how to hunt elk and mule deer with a huge amount of help from this show.
Great show
Guys, I thoroughly enjoy the content, discussion and delivery. Love the interviews with the state departments of fish and game/parks and wildlife as well as the recent discussions with fitness experts from Cal State Fullerton with a focus on the aging backcountry athlete. Keep up the good work.
My Fav!!!
Y'all are my favorite podcast! I look forward to each and every episode! I am still new to backpack hunting at the young age of 56😂 and I glean something from every podcast! Thank you all for doing this! I know it is not easy.
