Summary
Welcome to another on hunt audio experience. Last year we kicked down the barriers to what a podcast is “supposed to be” and created an epic on hunt audio trip that the listener could follow along with. This year, we stepped up our game a bit more and I think our producer John knocked it out of the park. For those of you who follow me on the Instagram @therichoutdoors, you might know how the story ends, but hopefully, you enjoy listening in alongside to see how my season unfolds.
This year was a crazy year I spent quite a bit of time scouting and had turned up a ton of great elk. Going into the season I felt like my gear was as dialed as it has ever been and I was in great physical shape. With only one tag in my pocket and the whole month to get it done, I was excited to see what would unfold. Needless to say, there was no way I could have planned for what was about to happen.

Huge shout out to On X Maps, not only for all of the support but for making such a great product. On X has been invaluable for both scouting as well as for my entire Montana elk hunt. I use On X on the daily and would not be as successful in the field without it.
Also, big thanks to Backcountry Fuel for keeping me fueled throughout the season. each month a squirrel away snacks for this time of year and this season I had all kinds of cool stuff to try. I highly recommend you sign up for the monthly subscription so you can get a box of goodies every month, there is no downside or commitment If you don’t like it cancel at any time.

| 0:20.1 | with me. John and I both we've talked about this a lot in other podcast. John and I both, we've talked about this a lot in other |
| 0:23.9 | podcast, but John and I both listen to a lot of audio books and we're into |
| 0:27.2 | audio experiences and so we wanted to bring that to the hunting space. We did it |
| 0:31.7 | last year was pretty popular and so we hope to improve upon it this year and kind of expand it on it and I guess in a lot of different ways and so this is the 2019 version. We think it's going pretty pretty well I don't know what do you |
| 0:44.4 | think John yeah we produced two of these last year you know like you mentioned |

| 1:00.5 | I heard. We learned a lot. Yeah, like there's a lot of mistakes, but we're getting there. |
| 1:07.0 | Yeah, and we kind of plan to do, when we came into this, you're going to do shorter updates throughout the season if need be, but it seems like this turned out to just be one epic podcast, right? |

| 1:23.7 | was like the full season, it took me forever, |
| 1:27.0 | and there was a lot of ups and downs, |
| 1:28.9 | but it was a really, basically long hunt. |
| 1:31.3 | It was just this this long audio experience. |
| 1:34.4 | And so I guess you really have that in your head. |

| 1:39.6 | I assumed it would be the same. |
| 1:41.5 | And it was definitely not the case. So it was just totally different and it's crazy and there's things you learn every year. |
