Welcome to the Huntback Country podcast. This is episode number 4002, and it is an after-the-hunt story with a listener, just like you.

Caleb first joined us in episode number 397 as we talked before the hunt about his

spring bear hunt for Idaho. Caleb and a group of guys went to Idaho to pursue bears for the

first time and had both success and struggles. It was fun for me personally to hear from Caleb, not only because

I love these stories, but also because we were actually hunting bears in Idaho on some of the same

dates. Our trips kind of crossed over, and we were in different areas, but I definitely could

relate to some of what he said. So in this conversation with Caleb, we hear about the hunt itself,

what they did right, some of the lessons they learned, some of the gear that worked well,

some that didn't, how they're adapting for the next hunt next year, and so much more. I know that

there's a lot for you to take away in this episode.

Before we do dive into that episode, I wanted to remind you guys that here in the month of June 2023, we have a giveaway going on.
