Recorded live on the road across Alaska, this episode is a raw, unedited discussion as my hunting partner Joe and I head for our DIY, drop-camp moose hunt (with caribou, black bear, and wolf tags in our pockets too). Prep, gear, planning, expectations and hopes are all part of this fun on-the-fly conversation as we embark on an adventure that's been three years in the planning.
ENJOY!

0:00.0 | All right. Thanks for tuning in today folks. I am bombing down the highway in Alaska with my good |
0:08.8 | pal Joe Kennedy. We've hunted together off and on for most of our lives and we are embarking on a fantastic |
0:16.4 | adventure here. |
0:17.4 | Moose, Caribou, Black Bear and Wolf tags in our pockets. |
0:21.2 | We're flying in on a DIY drop camp hunt and hoping to each take at least one good animal. |
