About this episode
Today’s guest is Dayton from Cranbrook, British Columbia — a law enforcement officer and accomplished bowhunter with firsthand experience in the realities of grizzly country. Dayton has responded to multiple grizzly bear attacks, including one tragically close to home where a hunter later died from his injuries. He’s also been charged by bears while hunting, and in one incident, his colleagues were forced to shoot a grizzly that was actively attacking them. In this episode, we dive into why the grizzly bear hunting ban was enacted, the consequences of nearly a decade without a hunt, and the hard truth about why hunters struggle to stay unified on critical wildlife issues. This is an eye-opening conversation every outdoorsman needs to hear. https://www.sfgate.com/national-parks/article/grizzly-mauled-schoolchildren-still-missing-21208080.php https://bcwf.bc.ca/our-history/ 💢 Discount Codes 💢 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://glnk.io/p9vpq/21r PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.peaxequipment.com/ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/MobileElkHunting VORTEX WEAR | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - http://bit.ly/40pIF6R SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/SheepFeet onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/ONXHUNT Basekamp Quarter Pad | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE https://bit.ly/42Xa5mB CrossOver Symmetry | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - http://bit.ly/3LMnVBA Stealth Cam | 20% Off Code (non-cellular): ELKSHAPE20 10% Off Code (cellular) ELKSHAPE 10 - https://bit.ly/3LFRULv MAGVIEW | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - http://bit.ly/3nhGmUo MY MEDIC | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/3nhRJvV DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/3P5x3BY GORUCK | 10% OFF CODE: ELKHUNT - https://glnk.io/ko1wr/staton BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE20 - https://blackriflecoffeecompany.pxf.io/9LnW0E INITIAL ASCENT | 5% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://initialascent.com/ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=pl&ti=14093&pw=265865&mi=30849&pt=3&pri=26 🚨Video Production🚨 A CAM - SONY A1 BODY - https://amzn.to/3wLZLBW B CAM - SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS - https://amzn.to/3InUGST SONY LONG LENS 70-200MM - https://amzn.to/433SXLW WIRELESS DJI MIC 2 - https://amzn.to/3uYPku5 STUDIO LENS 24-70MM - https://amzn.to/3PbhZD8 DJI DRONE - https://amzn.to/3TqrAZo DJI ACTION 4 - https://amzn.to/49FDPXA Learn more about your ad choices.
