The Back Country: A Guide to Packing in the Back Country

This episode is a conversation with my buddies Shay Helm and Shane Weigand who have been hunting Montana and other parts of the great American wilderness for the last two decades.

Both of them are very much into the culinary exploration of wild game and fish. In fact, Shay actually used to go to culinary school and Shane worked at a wild game processor in his teens. So needless to say that they know their way around the kitchen and butcher station. Shane is also very involved in using donkeys (aka burrows) to pack into the backcountry for hunts and other adventures.

Episode Overview:

• Shane’s story of his recent Montana Moose hunt
• Why road hunting has a bad reputation and how you can do it effectively
• Shay explains what doe patrol is and why he would rather hunt deer over elk
• The story behind my 2022 mule deer hunt
• Cooler set up for a multiday hunts
• Tips for better wild game processing
• Packing into the backcountry with donkeys
• Much much more
