Summary

Today's episode tells the story of a special father-and-son hunt for Caleb, and his son, Clayten. This past fall, when Clayten was just 12-years-old, he was able to kill his first Dall Sheep in Alaska's Wrangell Mountains. Not only is this a cool story, it is a great insight into hunting with youth. No matter the age of the hunter, or the species being pursued, there are lessons that can be learned about how to get youth involved in hunting as you listen to Clayten share his unique perspective on hunting in this podcast.
