Welcome to the Monday minute of the Hunt Backcountry podcast. These are normally shorter and more informal

episodes where we answer your listener questions, but today we're sharing a different conversation.

Steve and I hit record a week or so ago to chat about the experience of backcountry hunting,

kind of why we do it and what it means to us.

It was pretty unscripted and not very defined.

As you'll hear about, we just covered it from a few different thoughts and perspectives and see where the conversation took us.

And part of the reason we did that was we are getting ready to launch the experience project. We don't get into what all that is, what it will entail, and how it's changing the future of the podcast in today's episode, but we will get into that this week on the next episode.

So again, this Monday minute is kind of an unscripted conversation about the experience of backpack hunting.

And stay tuned for the next episode on Wednesday that is going to get more into what is the Experience Project, why are we doing it, and how is it going to change the podcast here very soon.

I hope you enjoy this conversation. Be sure to hit subscribe or follow so that you receive

future episodes automatically including Wednesday's explanation of the

experience project. As always thank you for tuning in.

Here is Steve and I discussing the experience of backpack hunting.

Well, Steve, this is a very unlike us episode.

We're hitting record, we're chatting,

we have kind of an idea, but no outline. We have somewhat of an idea but no outline we have somewhat of a theme but no

bullet points and usually I feel like every time you and I talk there's like a very

there's like a purpose right like not only with guests but even with you and I there's there's like a purpose, right?

Like not only with guests, but even with you and I,

there's like, this is what we're doing,

this is what we're saying, this is,

and that goes offline, like even off the podcast.
