The long awaited Utah Archery Bison Hunt episode. To share the story of Britt's unsusscessful Bison hunt. This one is a long episode but I decided to do this episode a little differently and bring on multiple friends: Nicole Martinez and Rendell Newman + my husband, Cody. Because hunting can sometimes be so much more than just the person who has the tag. “The Hunt” is often about the group, others who are willing to come spend their time to support you, put miles on their tires, boots and eyes. It’s the wild encounters we each have and then coming back to camp to share them around the fire.
I had a hell of a support system, especially my husband and sons: Kooper and Rivers, who grinded it out with me, rooted for me and gave me encouragement and those little/big hugs when I needed them most. My dad making me a the coolest freezer on a trailer ready to go at any moment and brining supplies. Then the hunting buddies that came along for this wild ride, to help me cover ground and locate Bison. I thought it would be cool to bring on their perspectives and experiences. Without their relentlessness I would have missed out on a few of the opportunities that came my way.
Get ready to hear about some close encounters, bear hunts, making a stalk 8 yds away from bulls, adventures in getting our truck stuck, me getting to solo hunt for 3 days and lessons learned about Archery Bison Hunting. So without further ado. . . Here is the story of my Utah Archery Bison Hunt.
