In this gripping episode of Wild Things & Wild Places, Todd Redmond and Bryant Birch recount an unforgettable elk hunting expedition that turned from triumph to tragedy in the blink of an eye. Deep in the backcountry, 30 miles from the nearest trailhead, the duo's adventure was marked by stunning scenery, an encounter with a massive grizzly, and the thrill of dropping a trophy bull elk. But the beauty of the wilderness quickly gave way to a fight for survival.
As they were retrieving their elk, Todd was unexpectedly kicked by a horse, turning what should have been a celebratory moment into a harrowing ordeal. With sheer drops surrounding them and miles of rugged terrain ahead, the situation became a race against time to get Todd the medical attention he desperately needed. Despite the severity of his injury, Todd's stubborn determination led him to believe he could make it out on his own. However, this moment of stubbornness cost them precious time and put his friends at even greater risk as they struggled to get him the help he desperately needed. A Blackhawk helicopter from Cheyenne was ultimately dispatched for the rescue, highlighting the dangers that even the most prepared hunters can face in the wild.
One of the key factors that ensured their survival was the Garmin inReach Mini 2, a critical piece of gear that allowed them to stay connected despite being miles apart in the remote wilderness. The team’s ability to communicate, even when radios failed, was a lifesaver. The Garmin inReach Mini 2 is available now with $50 off for a limited time, making it an essential addition to any backcountry adventurer's gear list.

This episode is a stark reminder of the importance of being prepared and having the right equipment when venturing into the wild. Tune in to hear Todd and Bryant’s harrowing tale, a story that will give you chills and might even bring a tear to your eye. Don't miss it.
