EP 602: Baiting Giant Bears – Throw Your Assumptions Out the Window (with Kevin Toye and Landen Fidek)

This episode features repeat guest Kevin Toye, an avid BC-based bowhunter, and Landen Fidek, a close friend of Kevin's and another very dedicated bowhunter from Saskatchewan. If you've ever looked at hunting bears over bait and considered it cheating, or easy, prepare to have your mind opened. Kevin and Landen recount the time and effort they put in chasing giant bears in Manitoba, and what it takes to put it all together and have a chance at arrowing bears in the 400 – 500 plus pound range. NOTABLE QUOTES: "I was really taken away with just how much harder it was and how arrogant I was to think I was just going to go out there and just have a super easy hunt." @hunt.source @kevinltoye @landenfidek --------------------------- DEALS & PARTNERS: For over 100 years Leica has set the standard for premium optics.
