In this Q&A episode, we sit down with Derek to dive deep into the nitty-gritty of backcountry gear, moose hunting strategy, and dialing in the perfect bow setup for 2025.
Standing tall at 6'4 240lbs", Derek shares the hard-earned lessons he’s learned finding the right pack that fits both his frame and his hunting style. From load-hauling comfort to frame size and adjustment tips, this segment is a must-listen for taller hunters or anyone struggling with fit and functionality on multi-day hunts.
We also get into Mountain Moose hunting—covering terrain tactics, calling sequences, glassing strategies, and what Derek has found works (and what doesn’t) when chasing these giants in remote, rugged country.
To wrap it up, Derek gives a full breakdown of his 2025 bow setup: why he chose each component, how it performed in the field, and what tweaks he’s planning before the season kicks off.
👉 Whether you're prepping for your own moose hunt or fine-tuning your gear list, this episode is packed with field-tested insight.
