Elk Hunting Truths with Dr. Gabe Krahn

Dr. Krahn reached out over social media and sent me a long message about some of the things he has found in his journey to be a better elk hunter and in listening to far too much of this podcast. It is clear that Gabe is a smart cat that has thought through his elk hunting experiences. In fact, he wrote out the following solely as note to himself and I asked him if we could add it to the show notes for you guys. In this podcast we only scratch the surface of a few of these topics but I think the...

Calling Tips From the New World Champion Beau Brooks

This week we jump on a call with Beau Brooks who just won the world championship elk calling comp.

In this episode we chat about Beau's favorite time of season early September and calling bulls before they herd up. We talk about how to find elk like a pro and how to cover ground to give yourself options. I really enjoyed this chat with the new world champion and I can t...

Tony Trietch's System for Killing Big Bulls

The Last couple years Nevada and Colorado have been his go-to and in this episode we dive into some of those adventures. We also layout some tactical advise and lessons learned.

Changing Your Elk Hunting Baseline

This week I wanted to do another solo podcast of a framework I was thinking about while out scouting. I have done a couple of great podcasts with Patreon members and it got me thinking about this concept of Changing the Baseline, or expanding the horizon. What would change if you could just hunt with me for a day. For many of you probably nothing but for others it may open your eyes to what it looks like to operate at the next level.

Epic Big Bull Down Story with Zach Bowhay (2022 UT Hunt)

One of the best podcast we ever did, or least one of the more popular was a podcast about how to be in the 10% of elk hunters that kill 90% of elk with Zach Bowhay. To this day that episode is still growing in downloads! Zach has been on multiple times but this week was one of my favorite episodes we have ever recorded with Zach. Last fall Zach had one of the best elk hunting tags in the country. Now before any of you think he is some big bull snob, Zach is a Idaho OTC hunter as they come but wh...

5 Types of Luck in Elk Hunting

This podcast is a bit different, so let me know what you think. Today I want to talk about the 5 types of luck and how you can improve your chance at luck in the elk woods. These are based on a book written in 1978 by Dr. James H. Austin wrote Chase, Chance, and Creativity: The Lucky Art of Novelty. It was later brought to the entrepreneur world by Marc Andressen on his blog where he talks The Four Types Kinds of Luck I thought this was applicable and I was so bold as to add a 5 type. 1) Blind L...

2023 Big Bull Down Season Recap with Jaden

This week Jaden and I catch up on season after I missed a bull day 3 but managed to pull it together on day 8 on a different bull. We chat about the season, how active the rut is and drop some tips for those still in the game. We also talk about Jaden's hunt so far as he found himself a good bull and has been trying to get close. I give Jaden a bunch of crap about how he should have just ran at the bull when he was raking but Jaden wasn't sure, aka wasn't aggressive enough. A lot of open country...

Becoming a Better Elk Hunter with Andrew Jakovac

This podcast is from a few years ago but it is honestly one of my favorites of all time. Andrew is an absolute killer that flys under the radar. He constantly puts giant buck and bulls down with a trad bow. One of the biggest takeaways from this podcast for me, was the ability to change the temperature of a situation and then move in silent. Andrew talks about getting across the ridge from a herd bull and getting him fired up by acting like rut fest is going on, then slipping in silent. Hope you...
