Don’t run. Don’t fight. Don’t scream. Stay calm. Hold your ground. Pull your bear spray. Pop off the safety. Aim. Fire. Did you do it in time? This isn’t a drill…it’s the difference between life and death in bear country. Knowing how to respond before the charge can save your life, and the bear’s.

In this episode of Endless Venture, I head out to the wide-open plains of Eastern Montana to meet up with a group of passionate local fossil hunters known as the Hellcreek Hooligans. These guys have spent years exploring and digging in one of the richest dinosaur fossil beds on Earth—Hell Creek Formation. Our mission? To search for buried treasure... prehistoric treasure. We’re talking Tyrannosaurus rex teeth. The Hellcreek Hooligans invited me to their active dig site where we roll up our sleeves, grab some tools, and start moving some serious dirt. Every flick of the knife could uncover something from 68 million years ago—and by the end of the day, we strike gold. I unearth my very first T. rex tooth! Subscribe and stay tuned for more!

The First Taste. When a mother gives birth, she tucks her kittens away in a quiet, hidden place. She hunts alone, returning only to nurse, never sharing the spoils of her kill. For weeks, her young survive on milk, unaware of the world beyond the den. But around eight weeks old, everything changes. She leads them to a carcass, still fresh, still warm. And for the first time, they taste meat. That first bite is more than nourishment. It’s instinct awakening. In that moment, the path ahead becomes clear. This…flesh, blood, pursuit…this will be their life. The predator isn’t born with the first kill. It begins with the first taste.

In this episode of Endless Venture, we’re heading deep into the wild on a mission where the goal is simple: find elk antlers. Every spring, bull elk shed their massive antlers, and if you're lucky—and willing to put in the miles—you might just stumble across one... or many. But before we hit the trail, let’s clear something up: antlers vs. horns. Antlers are made of bone and are shed and regrown every year. You’ll find them on animals like elk, deer, and moose. Horns, on the other hand, are permanent and made of keratin—like fingernails—and belong to animals like bighorn sheep or bison. Big difference. We make our way into a remote corner of the backcountry—a spot I often visit in the spring to look for grizzly bears—but today, we’re focused on tracking down antlers. Along the way, we have a close black bear encounter, which adds an extra dose of wild to the journey. And just when we think we’ve found a few good sheds… BOOM—we hit the motherlode: a massive pile of antlers tucked away in a hidden pocket of wilderness. Now it’s your turn—drop a comment below and take your best guess: How many antlers are in the pile? And how many total tines? Here’s the answer: 62 antlers 336 tines Let’s see who gets it right before reading the answer! Subscribe and stay tuned for more!
