b"The Backpack Hunt Breakdown is a new series for July of 2023. Each week we will have a new episode in this series, featuring a new guest and a different backpack-style hunt. For each of these conversations, we use the following categories to break down the hunt and understand what led to the eventual success of the hunt...\\n\\n- PLANNING (the tag and hunt opportunity, scouting for animals/country/access, specific gear choices, etc)\\n- MANAGING (your time and energy, when to stay or move, using terrain to your advantage, etc)\\n- LIVING (water, food, clothing, shelter, comfort, and survivability in the backcountry)\\n- HUNTING (locating the game, the stalk/approach, the shot opportunity, post-shot tracking, etc)\\n- PACKING (pack out strategy and capabilities, meat care, etc)\\n\\nIn this first episode, Mark & Steve breakdown Steve's solo elk hunt from this past fall. There are always challenges on a solo elk hunt, but the conditions that Steve faced on this particular hunt presented even more variables to contend with. Tune in and learn from Steve's experience.\\n\\nENTER THE JULY GIVEAWAY: https://exomtngear.com/podcast\\n\\nLEAVE A MESSAGE: speakpipe.com/huntbackcountry or https://podcast@exomtngear.com"
