I didn’t see if the ground coal oven sheep roast turned out unless it was when I had to step away to put a few logs into my wood stove. Such a great adventure

If Randy and the crew ever want to do a Caribou hunt in Nunavut or Newfoundland, I'd tag along for that. It might be a good time to leave the rifle at home and grab the bow

The editor got caught up in the story about Andy's sheep and we forgot to put the roast conclusion in the episode. I forgot to catch it in the edit.

Any who read my story posted when we got home knows that the roast was fantastic. It cooked super slow and fell apart when we finally dug it out of the ground. It was all Jesse's talent, with me merely digging the hole, covering it up, and unearthing the packages when she said it should be done.

I always find it a bit comical, and insincere, when some of the TV guys show up on these guided hunts and try to make you think they pulled it off by themselves. Never any mention of the outfitter or guide who makes it all come together.

Marcus knows my feelings about that and he came up with a great idea - make an entire episode about the crew that made this hunt possible. I loved it. Glad he thought of that and glad the crew was willing to be interviewed by Marcus. From the boss, Harold, down to the helpers at base camp, the guides, wrangles, and cooks, the Gana River crew goes above and beyond to make the experience special.

Marcus also came up with the idea to do an episode about the horses Without which, these hunts would be impossible. These episodes are a bit different from what you normally see. Hope you like them.

30 years of backcountry horse camps under my belt. As hard as the work was for the staff while you were there, it is even more before,between and after the hunters are on site. In Idaho only 10% of first year guides return. Only 5%make it five years. Those who make it a year after year vocation are passionate about it.
