EP18: Outfitter Spotlight - Hinterland Outdoors

<p>Ben Brochu started trapping as a kid in northern Alberta&#39;s Peace Country, sold his furs to save up for a trike, and was working for an outfitter by sixteen. Between then and now he spent years in vocational ministry, sailed Pacific Mexico for five months with his wife and four young children, and built one of Alberta&#39;s most diverse big game operations almost entirely on his own terms.</p><p>In this episode, Robbie sits down with Ben, founder of Hinterland Outdoors, to talk moose, black bear, elk, whitetail, and mule deer hunting in northern Alberta, including a triple combo hunt where clients have had opportunity on all three big game species in a single six day window. Ben is candid about the kind of hunter he wants in camp and the kind he does not, what surprised him most about making the leap to full time outfitting, and why the best hunters he has ever guided are the ones who show up relaxed.</p><p><br></p><p>Let&#39;s Go Guided:</p><p>Website + email signup: letsgoguided.com</p><p>Instagram: @letsgoguided_</p><p>Facebook: Let&#39;s Go Guided</p><p><br></p><p>Hinterland Outdoors:</p><p>🌐 hinterlandoutdoors.ca</p><p>📞 1-780-978-2701</p><p>📧 <a href="mailto:ben@hinterlandoutdoors.ca" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠ben@hinterlandoutdoors.ca⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Photography credit: Courtesy of Hinterland Outdoors</p>
