Ep.2 High Country Mule Deer Bowhunting | Mark Sasser on Solo Mountain Hunts, Hard Lessons & Real Woodsmanship
In this episode, Mark Sasser joins Trad Hunters to talk about the experiences behind his story Into the Clouds from Trad Hunters Magazine Volume 2: High Country. What starts as a conversation about mountain mule deer hunting quickly turns into something deeper—hard-earned lessons, solo hunts in unforgiving terrain, and the kind of moments that shape a hunter over a lifetime.
Mark talks about the realities of high-country hunting, the mental side of solo mountain hunts, and why stories like these matter in a world where real hunting experiences are becoming harder to find. This isn’t about shortcuts or hype—it’s about challenge, persistence, and the kind of hunts that leave a mark on you long after the season ends.
