For others, like me, it took the first 30 years of life to solidify purpose and passion. On this episode I am joined by Steve Opat. Steve is a med-a-vac … Continue reading Ep. 47 | Pursue Your Passions – with Steve Opat → The post Ep. 47 | Pursue Your Passions – with Steve Opat appeared first on Washington Backcountry.

A little bit of a different podcast this week as this podcast is an interview of myself.  I sit down with a high school classmate, Steve Opat, and he turns the table on me and interviews me to help introduce myself to you the listeners.  So hope you enjoy and thanks again for taking the time to listen.

In this episode I sit down with Steve Opat from Fairbanks, Alaska.  Steve is an avid hunter and is also a medical helicopter flight nurse. He is in a unique position to learn from peoples mistakes. We talk about the what brought him to Alaska, his experiences, and the survival mindset. Steve always has a unique perspective and this conversation could have gone on for hours! I have no doubt he will be a frequent guest on this podcast. You can follow Steve on Instagram @alaskanodysseys

JOMH field editor Steve Opat returns to host another episode of Beyond the Kill. This time he's joined by his best friend Brent MIller; a man he holds in high regards as being a true master of his craft. That craft is being a husband and father. The two buddies discuss "A Hunter's Guilt". They aren't talking about the emotional tug we can feel when we harvest an animal, They are helping us learn about the difficulties of choosing between two things we love. Between family, friends, and a plethora of outdoor interests, it can be hard to know where to be.    Can we take advantage of the nice weather or do we stay in town with the family? Do we want to spend a day with our trusty hunting dog or should we go hunt deer? Can we hunt alone or do we take the kid hunting?!?!   How do we choose?!?!   Brent and Steve talk about their experiences with "A hunter's guilt" and let us know that it's natural and healthy for us to experience it. In fact, we are lucky that we do. Then they divulge a series of tools they use to navigate it such as: Build a quiver of hunting spots and stands; Know how to fill your cup; Prepare to be all-in when you get home; be honest with your timelines; Be present while you are home; Let your values guide your actions; Most importantly, build a team that can support you and hold you accountable.    Enjoy this episode. If you find that you relate to this topic, please engage with us and share your experiences, tools and ideas.  Steve and Brent have a big project in the works to keep educating outdoor mentors and parents.

Steve Opat is an 8-year veteran of hunting in Alaska and has been involved in 40+ successful big game hunts in Alaska including over a dozen trips up the Haul Road for caribou.  He has also successfully hunted Moose, Dall Sheep, Mtn Goat, Muskox, Black Bear, Grizzly Bear and more. In this episode Steve and I swap stories about one of Steve's favorite hunts in all of Alaska, the Haul Road Caribou hunt.  Steve refers to this hunt as "iconic Alaska" due to its combination of a harsh, but beautiful landscape, an epic road trip, a large caribou herd and the relatively low cost and easy access for the average hunter. Listen in as we discuss where the Haul Road is, what its like to venture north on the most remote stretch of highway in the United States, and what awaits the opportunistic hunter on the Arctic Tundra of the North Slope.   Steve with the bull he refers to as "The Blob" Steve with a solid caribou from the Haul Road "The Blob" before he was killed by Steve.  This pic was taken by another hunter who passed on this bull while looking for a bull with big tops

Overall, this guy is one of the most passionate hunters and writers you’ll ever have the good fortune of spending time with. Adam and Steve discuss storytelling, media, technology, conservation, and the shenanigans that transpired at the 2019 Sheep Show.
