  • Steve’s quest for a giant mule deer buck continues in central Idaho. To help Steve in his journey, Ryan Callaghan has offered up one of his best spots as well as his keen spotting skills. The duo backpack hunt in some of the West’s steepest and prettiest mountains seeking the colossal buck of Steve’s dreams. In part one, frustration and opportunities abound and Ryan turns a failed black bear stalk turns into a successful buck hunt.

    Cal reminds me of my stepdad who died 11 years ago. He saved my brother from drowning in a whirlpool near Amanzimtoti. Cal has a similar way of talking and he has a similar face structure. My dad loved hunting- he taught me how to shoot and hunt. It makes me so happy to see there are people like him out there caring about both sides of the game conservation as well as hunting.

      She's on point, that wife of yours. His are always my favorite articles in Outside Magazine. Sad to see he started 3yrs too late to be featured in "The Best of Outside: The first 20 years." Guessing they won't print "The Best of Second 20 Years" because it would be subtitled "The Rinella Chronicles." Maybe a "Best of All Time" featuring Rinella, Junger, Frazier, Cahill & Krakauer??? Ah, one can hope!

    Found myself watching Rinella for some time now, since I decided to become a hunter and actually go to college for Forestry and Hunting in my country... He reminds me of my late Grandfather. Wise, calm and cool, funny and always full of great comments. I find some comfort in watching him. We need more of this series.

    These two guys just have a great way to tell a story, they are humble hunters that want to learn everything about animal and the environment.
    The photography is amazing, the thing I love I escape with them on the journey, it's not Monday or Sunday, which I unfortunately live to.
    I've never held a gun before, I've never killed an animal, I go to the supermarket where its wrapped in plastic at a 'special price'. Sad.
    This series has stopped me supermarket meat shopping, I started going to a local butcher, and built up the courage to ask questions and have a conversation about the meat. It's been a refreshing positive change.

    I hunt in Bush where you cant see more than 100 feet. So many deer that at night they come into your campsite and during the day they come watch the kids as they collect firewood and play. Shortest walk to catch an animal from camp was 15 feet.

    I've been hunting Mule deer in Idaho for over 35 years. Big buck every year. I've never worn all that gear though, even when i elk or bear hunt.
    1 hat with a slick beanie under, 1 scoped rifle with sling, an LBV with 2x US issue ammo pouches in nylon w/black clips to hold some specialty food, a few extra rounds, and survival essentials, 1qt US issue canteen in the old style vietnam or Korean era canvas issue to protect it. A small FAK on the back of the belt, a rediculous untility knife on belt, another for field dressing on shoulder LBV strap pocket, a fanny pack I can jam my beanie or gloves into when it warms up, 10' of 1/2" nylon rope on the LBV rear top. A bino chest harness attached to the LBV and whatever pistol i'm carrying at the time+ 2 mags.on the belt. And even all that is an overgear for me. Magic numbers 39 & 43. Ryan knows where that is. + my fav boots ofc.
