Summary

Adam Foss is officially our third Canadian ever on the podcast. Quite the honor, indeed. Foss is not just a Northerner, though, he happens to be one of the top sheep hunters in North America and beyond. At the ripe young age of 24, he became the youngest hunter to earn the wild sheep grand slam with a bow. Since then he’s travelled the world seeking out bowhunting’s toughest challenges, all the while developing his skills as a filmmaker, photographer and story-teller.

I caught up with Foss in Bozeman over a growler of 406 beer to talk all things mountain hunting, his upbringing, philosophies on adventure, a brief but important description of cookbook night, and how to make the perfect “Caesar.” Enjoy.
