Welcome to the Hunt Backcountry podcast. This is episode number 507. And today, Colt and his daughter, Cedar, join us to share a very

cool story of a backpack deer hunt that they shared. And it's super cool to hear about kids out hunting,

to learn from Colt and how he has helped Cedar find confidence and success in the field.

And so in the first half of this conversation, both Colt and Cedar join us to tell the

hunting story. And then later in the episode, Cedar heads off to school. And I spent some time

speaking with Colt, just more about the practical aspects of getting kids into the outdoors,

helping Cedar be successful as a shooter, how he set up her rifle, and a whole lot more.

So I hope you guys enjoy this episode. It is fun to hear from Cedar and her perspective

and then also to learn from Colt as well.
