Description

After a long hiatus, renowned mountain guide and outfitter Ben Stourac is back on the show. Ben is the owner of Arcadia Outfitting, based in BC, and Iron North Outfitting based in the Yukon Territory. Between both outfits, Ben and his team of guides offer hunts for exceptional black bears, California bighorn sheep, mule deer, Dall sheep, giant Yukon moose and mountain caribou, as well as grizzly bears. Ben shares what it's really like running an outfitting business. The highs and lows, the constant challenges, the amazing landscapes and the ethos behind how he runs his outfits. This is a deep inside look into what it really takes to achieve a dream and the hard lessons learned along the way. @arcadiaoutfitting @ironnorthoutfitting ARCADIA WEBSITE IRON NORTH WEBSITE --------------------------- TRUSTED PARTNERS: For over 100 years Leica has set the standard for premium optics.
