Rodger Holscher is back in the studio—and this time, it’s not just tactics and gear talk. This is full-on story mode.
From nearly bonking out after three days without a spoon to punching his tag on a bull at 12 yards, Rodger walks us through some of his most unforgettable backcountry hunts with Chris and the crew. Whether it’s calling in elk from the side of the road, recovering bears in thick timber, or dropping a running bruin in Crocs (yep, that happened)—this episode is loaded with both laughs and lessons.
What we cover:
Elk hunting mistakes that almost turned serious
Packouts when the fuel tank is empty
How bears, wolves, and wind all factored into some wild moments
The value of knowing your weapon—and what you’re capable of under pressure
Real-world gear takeaways, bear defense setups, and pistol talk
This one’s for the guys who’ve been there, barely made it out, and still can’t wait to go back in.
Subscribe, review, and share it with your hunting crew—we appreciate the support.
