As many Outdoor Life readers and followers might have heard by now, our staff writer Tyler Freel was severely injured during a backcountry hunt in Idaho earlier this fall. 

Freel was on a mule deer hunt with some industry partners along with OL’s Shooting Editor John B. Snow in October. The crew was having a great hunt, with Freel taking an old mule deer buck and Snow shooting a big bull elk. 

But on the horse ride back to the trailhead, Freel was thrown from his horse. He crashed to the icy ground at full speed, and though he knew he was hurt instantly, nobody quite knew the extent of his injuries at the time, which turned out to be extremely severe. 

So today on the Outdoor Life podcast Freel is going to explain what exactly happened on that hunt, and how the accident could have been much worse. Plus, he and Snow will outline what we’ve all learned from the experience.
