Welcome to the Monday Minute of the Hunt Backcountry podcast.

These are shorter and more informal episodes where we answer your listener questions.

And today I am going solo.

Steve is out on his moose hunt in Idaho with Justin.

And so I'm just going to take some time to answer some questions that I can speak to.

It is, you know, early October as we're releasing this, many of you guys are also out hunting,

which is fantastic. Just want to remind you guys that we do have the Exo experience photo story contest going on you can get all the

details at exo mountaintgear.com forward slash experience or there'll be a link in the show description for

that but just a reminder on this it's not a a trophy photo contest it's not a kill the biggest buck or bull. You don't have to be a

professional photographer. The intention behind this contest is to kind of capture the whole hunt and tell a

story with photos. And pretty much all of us these days have smartphones with decent cameras that can do a good

job so check that out if you're interested we're giving away some great prizes we have some

different categories and things like that but again all those details will be at that link

to dive right into um some questions a topic that came up recently, it wasn't so much a question,

but it was more of, yeah, just a topic or a remark as I was speaking with someone about their

hunts. And they were talking about how time was just totally different when they were out

on their hunts and how it moved slower

and what a stark contrast that was from day-to-day life.

And this is certainly something I've thought about, of course, experienced, but also thought

intentionally about it.

Just in terms of the fact that yes, when you are hunting, in particular, when you're

doing a multi-day backpack hunt, time is totally different than our day-to-day lives.
