Summary

Hey guys before we get started today I have a quick announcement for you guys. As most of you know one of my little projects that I started a while back is Backcountry Fuel Box its basically as awesome box of snacks that comes to your door every month. I started that company as a way to scratch my own itch if you will. There are so many options out there and frankly, I don’t have time to order and try out all of them. As a user, I freakin love the box and its so cool to get feedback from all of you guys that love the box as well. Honestly, there is nothing better as an entrepreneur than to create something out of thin air and then hear from people you absolutely love the service you created. So thank you to all of you who have left those five-star reviews on the website, you are amazing. In fact, the TRO podcast code has been used over 1500 times and that’s just since we changed to the new website. So thank you.
Right now over at Backcountry Fuel, we have the biggest sale of the year going on. The Holiday Special is hands down your best deal on the box and we are only running it for a very limited time. Right now you only have 1 more week to save $100 off a 12-month subscription. This is the perfect gift to get a hunter, or even yourself because it comes all year and keeps you supplied for all your adventures.
No code necessary for this one just head to the website and check out the Holiday Special.
This Podcast also brought to you by our good friends over at On X. Another great gift that is a must-have for every hunter, the On X app goes on your phone or tablet and gives you the best mapping and GPS system whether you are in service or out. Know where you stand. Knowing exactly where you are and where the public/ private boundary is often critical to having a successful hunt. More than that I love the ability to scout on my computer, set points of interest, and automatically have them in my phone when I get to the field. I have so many friends that didn’t have On X Maps before because they didn’t think they needed it and now can’t rave about how great it is. Save 20% off your new membership when you use the TRO code.
In this episode, Dustin shares his epic adventure on a late-season mountain goat here in Montana and we break down all sorts of gear and tips to help you take your winter backcountry adventures to the next level. From ski’s to ice ax’s we break down what you need to have, what you should have, and some things you may just want to have to battle the elements in the late season. This podcast may just take your late season rifle elk and deer tags to a whole new level!
