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: ⁠ELKSHAPE⁠PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ⁠ELKSHAPE⁠CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ⁠ELKSHAPE⁠WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ⁠ELKSHAPE⁠VORTEX WEAR | 20% Off Code: ⁠elkshape⁠BLACK OVIS | 10% Off Code: ⁠elkshape⁠SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ⁠elkshape⁠onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ⁠elkshape⁠Basekamp Quarter Pad | 10% Off Code: ⁠elkshape⁠CrossOver Symmetry | 20% Off Code: ⁠elkshape⁠Stealth Cam | 20% Off Code (non-cellular): ⁠ELKSHAPE20⁠MAGVIEW | 10% Off Code: ⁠elkshape⁠MY MEDIC | 10% Off Code: ⁠elkshape⁠DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ⁠ELKSHAPE⁠GORUCK | LINK TO ⁠SHOP⁠BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ⁠ELKSHAPE20⁠ 🚨Video Production🚨A CAM - ⁠SONY A1 BODY⁠B CAM - ⁠SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS⁠SONY ⁠LONG LENS 70-200MM⁠WIRELESS ⁠DJI MIC 2⁠STUDIO LENS ⁠24-70MM ⁠⁠DJI DRONE ⁠⁠DJI ACTION 4Learn more about your ad choices.
