On this episode of Gritty Bowmen, I and my Hunting partner, Anthony Spencer, hang out with Alan Bolen and Spike Lewis of Bolen Lewis Outfitters.
These guys Specialize in hard core backpacking hunts. They have been getting it done on POPE and YOUNG Sheep, goats, and bears for a years. They hold records for some of the largest sheep taken In British Columbia. They talk to us about how to pack for these epic hunts, about costs, and about the proper level of fitness required. These guys are the real-deal… they're super legit backcountry bowhunters extraordinaire. This podcast is full of hunting stories, and tips and insight into outfitting.
