Welcome to the Hunt Backcountry podcast presented by Exo Mountain Gear.

This is Mark. I'm the brand manager at Exo Mountain Gear.

And today I'm joined by Steve, the owner of Exo.

And we are discussing our follow-up to some hunts from last fall and specifically

answering your questions about how Steve's 6-mill Creedmoor performed in Alaska, taking two big-bodied caribou,

two giant moose, and what our thoughts, opinions, experiences are.

If you're just finding this podcast and don't have background and context to why we might be having this discussion,

it really started with some podcasts we did in the summer of 2024 on this topic of why small

calibrers may be better for big game hunting. There's a lot to this topic. There's a lot of

thoughts, opinions.

And if you only take things at the surface or don't have background, everything seems

really counterintuitive.

So in today's conversation, this is especially for folks who have been kind of following

along and have listened to those previous podcasts,

who've heard our discussions and context, and really we've just gotten so many requests

for a follow-up, for a summary, and with some specific listener questions that we will

also answer in this episode.

All that said to say, check out the link in the show description, in particular, if you

don't have background and context for today's conversation.

I would highly recommend that you go listen to the podcast series that kind of started all

of this.

Go watch the Experience Project Hunt films.
