The Elk

This is the episode that I have been waiting for. The connection I have with the environment when I’m hunting has never been matched when I’m just hiking.

The Elk

Bravo Patagonia and Dirtbag Diaries for the story about hunting, an oft misunderstood culture from the persecutive of the non-hunting outdoor community. As someone who both hunts, and skis/rides mountain bikes etc. I appreciate this story being told on this forum. Kjell's gratitude really highlights the connection to the land and animals that can only be made by participating with them at this level. Great job, thank you.

Great!

Love the show- sometimes the music on top of voices is incredibly distracting. “The Elk” was really hard to listen to in the bits where intense music was playing. Great story, though!
