Everyone talks about Africa and the Big Five. Almost nobody talks about one of the most rewarding mountain-hunting adventures on earth — the Spanish Ibex Grand Slam. In this episode, Travis Wier makes the case for the slam most hunters never pursue: four distinct subspecies of Spanish ibex — Beceite, Gredos, Southeastern, and Ronda — each in its own stunning corner of Spain. It's world-class...

Almost nobody hunts Africa just once. In this episode, Travis Wier digs into the thing every returning hunter knows but struggles to explain: why Africa gets in your blood. It's rarely just the animals. It's the sunrise over the bush, the people you hunt beside, the tracker who becomes a friend, the camp that feels like home by the end of the week — and the simple fact that there's...

Spain isn’t the hunt most American hunters think of first — and that’s exactly why it’s one of the best trips you can take. In this episode I sit down to break down ibex hunting in Spain from the ground up: what the Grand Slam actually is, which ram to start with, and what the mountain really asks of you. In this episode: • The four ibex subspecies — Beceite, Gredos, Ronda and Southeastern — and w...

They weigh a ton, they never forget, and they've killed more hunters than almost anything else in Africa. There's a reason the Cape buffalo earned the name "Black Death." In this episode, Travis Wier gets into what makes the Cape buffalo the most respected — and most feared — member of the Big Five. Why a wounded bull is the most dangerous animal in the bush, how they circle ba...

A deposit is the moment a dream hunt becomes a real one — and the moment your money is on the line. So before you hit send, you'd better know exactly who you're dealing with.

This isn't about being difficult — it's the exact due diligence tha...

The biggest thing standing between most hunters and their first African safari isn't money or skill — it's the assumption that it's complicated. It isn't.

Straightforward travel, English spoken everywhere, malaria-free options, comfortable lo...

Botswana is the top of the mountain for elephant, and nothing else in Africa hunts like it.

In this episode: • Why Botswana stands apart from every other elephant destination • What the Delta concession...

It's supposed to be the hunt of a lifetime. So why do some hunters come home from Africa feeling flat? In this episode, Travis Wier gets honest about something most outfitters would rather not discuss: the guys who finish a safari feeling let down — and why it usually has nothing to do with the animals. Unrealistic expectations built on TV and Instagram, the wrong outfitter, chasing a number...

Everybody "knows" Africa is expensive… until you actually run the numbers. In this episode, Travis Wier puts an African plains-game safari head-to-head with a classic US hunt — think elk, mule deer, whitetail — and breaks down what you really pay once it's all on the table. Tags and licenses, travel and lodging, guide and trophy fees, days afield, and what you actually bring home. A...
