Welcome to the Monday minute of the Hunt's backcountry podcast. These are shorter and more informal

episodes where we answer your listener questions. Steve, how are you today?

Doing good man.

I had a good weekend with a family.

My son's been sick for the last week,

just whatever bug he caught from school

and so we're kind of laid low a little bit,

but it was a good weekend.

This feels like a, I don't know, a more normal Monday minute.

It's been so crazy yearly since August 1 in the Caribou Hunt and then

moving XO offices and then the moose hunt and getting back from that and

Jake and I are getting ready to take off from the mountain goat hunt next week but

it's actually feels like a semi-normal week among the chaos.

Yeah, it's a nice, at least for me,

yeah, you turn it right around and do another hunt,

but for me it feels, yeah, first time just like,

whoa, it was quite the June, July, August was just, yeah,

absolutely and September was just jam-packed with work and projects and there's a lot going on.

Well, we are going to get into some listener questions today.

Thanks as always guys for sending those in.

And just real quick, speaking to sending stuff in. We sent out an email last week about sharing field photos and just had a overwhelmingly cool response to that of hundreds of field photos, which is great to see, but I mean really it's for us making the gear,

we don't want, you know, things to just end with a sale, right?
