High country mule deer hunting is something that I have really grown a love for over the last handful of years. It speaks my language. Steep and deep backcountry, glassing for bucks, and then playing the chess match that is sneaking in close to bow range. From Utah to Colorado I slept in the dirt and tried my hand at putting the moves on big velvet mule deer. What started as a hunt for a deer, soon turned to a hunt for Perspective. Which is the title of this new film and you can watch the teaser below.

One of the most beautiful things about backpack hunting to me is the life lessons that come with it. When you walk into those mountains, you come out of them different. Changed. This hunt served me up more perspective than I thought it would. It was a reminder to me of what’s really important in life and I’ll forever be grateful for the takeaways. Not only will they make me a better bowhunter, but a better man. I hope you enjoy this and I cannot wait to share the full film.
