Steve Speck from Exo Mountain Gear is on the show today to talk to us about his recent bighorn sheep hunt in Idaho. That hunt was quite the adventure and really tested the limits of human endurance, but he got it done and tagged a great looking sheep on his hunt. In this episode, we're going to talk about how Steve drew that tag, the story of his hunt, some lessons he learned along the way, and what the future holds for him.
