About this episode
In this episode, Dan and Riley sit down to recap their full Bear Bender adventure, an epic spring bear hunting trip that took them from the remote bush of northern Alberta to the rugged Duck Mountains of eastern Saskatchewan. They break down the first leg of the trip with Prairie North Outfitters, where Dan filled both of his tags—including a giant boar—and Riley punched his first-ever archery bear tag in one of the most unforgettable hunts of his life. Then they dive into the second half of the journey with Eastern Sky Guiding, where Dan tagged his biggest black bear to date. The guys were joined by Bill from Iron Will Outfitters and the Bear Hunt Giveaway winner, Cody Sabol, making for an awesome camp and even better memories. From the highs, the lows, the lessons, and the wild moments in between, this is a full behind-the-scenes breakdown of a trip they won’t soon forget. Grab a cup of coffee—or get in some windshield time—and catch up with Dan and Riley as they share the real story behind Bear Bender 2025. @elkshape @rileystaton24 @prairie_north_outfitters @easternskyguiding @ironwilloutfitters 💢 Discount Codes 💢 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE VORTEX WEAR | 20% Off Code: elkshape BLACK OVIS | 10% Off Code: elkshape SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: elkshape onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: elkshape Basekamp Quarter Pad | 10% Off Code: elkshape CrossOver Symmetry | 20% Off Code: elkshape Stealth Cam | 20% Off Code (non-cellular): ELKSHAPE20 MAGVIEW | 10% Off Code: elkshape MY MEDIC | 10% Off Code: elkshape DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ELKSHAPE GORUCK | LINK TO SHOP BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE20 🚨Video Production🚨 A CAM - SONY A1 BODY B CAM - SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS SONY LONG LENS 70-200MM WIRELESS DJI MIC 2 STUDIO LENS 24-70MM DJI DRONE DJI ACTION 4 Learn more about your ad choices.
