In this episode, we explore the fascinating and often overlooked world of hunting with mules. Our guest, Dave Helton, has been using mules in the backcountry for over 20 years and brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and stories to the conversation.

Dave walks us through what makes mules such valuable partners in the field, especially in rugged and remote terrain where horses or ATVs might fall short. He shares what to look for in a quality mule, common mistakes first-time buyers make, and the kind of commitment mule ownership requires—not just during hunting season, but year-round.

Whether you're a seasoned hunter looking to expand your approach or someone curious about incorporating mules into your outdoor lifestyle, this episode offers practical tips, personal insights, and a look into the strong bond that can form between hunter and mule.
