Today’s guest is Dayton from Cranbrook, British Columbia — a law enforcement officer and accomplished bowhunter with firsthand experience in the realities of grizzly country. Dayton has responded to multiple grizzly bear attacks, including one tragically close to home where a hunter later died from his injuries. He’s also been charged by bears while hunting, and in one incident, his colleagues were forced to shoot a grizzly that was actively attacking them.

In this episode, we dive into why the grizzly bear hunting ban was enacted, the consequences of nearly a decade without a hunt, and the hard truth about why hunters struggle to stay unified on critical wildlife issues. This is an eye-opening conversation every outdoorsman needs to hear.
