This week we give possible solutions and some of our cues to help you overcome those problems. Enjoy the episode! This Week's ElkBros Mailbox Questions: Are there specific exercises someone can do to improve mental fortitude? Does elk calling work in October?? Does bugle tube size add to the projection or volume to improved locate calling? ElkBros Mental Success Cues: Where there is a will, there is a way. Don’t hike and hope…hunt. What are the Elk doing right now? Where are they doing it? Am I there? Stay focused. Only takes seconds to go from zero to hero. Elk respond with more than just a bugle. Elk hunting is about Will and Weakness. My will to find their weakness. If I can kill silent elk, I can kill any elk. The Game changers: Attitude and effort Hunt elk not bugles Elk do things in their time, not our time. Work smart, not hard. Don't be the same old rodeo. I can do this! Hunt the hunt... don't quit! Can't kill them from camp. Take it all in. Don’t take it all hard. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we deal with it.

One of the most critical and most blown aspects of elk hunting... How to react to a bulls response! We have all had it happen to us. We make a decision, give a response and get into our setup. Palms are sweating just waiting for a bull to come crashing in, but everything goes quiet. So we throw out another call to find out where he is and either get a response from another 300 to 400 yards away or even worse... nothing but crickets! On today's episode, the boys cover scenarios, mistakes and misreads that all of us have or will experience at one point in our elk hunting career when it comes to understanding and reacting to a bull’s response. Hopefully what we have learned from our own mistakes will help you have solutions to keep you in the game on your future hunts! Enjoy the show!

Welcome to the fourth & final episode of the ElkBros Elk Calling "Geminar" Series! We are always telling folks to improve their elk calling skill set and that to get better, they have to practice.

On today's episode, it's the leader and founder of ElkBros, Joe Giglia!

When it comes to elk hunting, it’s a constant learning process and as hunters most of those lessons come in hindsight. Our understanding comes AFTER a blown situation or scenario. The goal of this show is to break down everyday elk hunter’s scenarios, hunter’s just like yourself and relook, or REVAMP the scenarios with other possible strategies and techniques that could possibly be just the ticket to bring success on your next hunt. On today’s show, Joe welcomes Sam Reitz. Sam, like you, is your everyday elk hunter sharing a scenario that he would like to have back and talk about possible strategies or decisions that may make a difference the next time he is in a similar situation. So while we learn, you get to learn right along with us! If you have a scenario you would like to share and REVAMP, just send an email to Joe ( joe@elkbros.com) with your name, where you are from and a description of the scenario you would like to discuss. Who knows, you might find yourself on a future episode! If you like what we do...PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE, RATE and REVIEW!

And when it comes to elk hunting, there are so many different situations, variables or "What-ifs" to prepare for. So y'all... It's PART 2! On today's Episode of Blue Collar Elk Hunting the crew continues to go through a whole slew of "What-if" questions that just might be exactly what you are wondering or even something you never thought about, but might experience on your next hunt.

The good, the bad, the scary... and find out from their perspectives the reality and those learning moments that will be with them and change their elk hunting journey forever.

Why is it that everyone can use the same elk calls or sounds, but having different results? Well y'all, we compare it to two people, one expert and one novice using the very same lure while fishing. Shoot, they can be in the very same boat and the expert will be hammering the fish while the novice struggles. The answer is easy. It's not only about the lure. It's about the presentation! The expert knows how to present his bait in a way that motivates a fish to bite! On today's Blue Collar Elk Hunting Podcast, it's part 3 of our Cast Calling Series and we cover the techniques, emotions, visuals, calling directions, organic timing and volume levels needed to present your calls so that they motivate an elk to respond.

What elk sounds or calls should a person use and how do they know when to use them? In order to know what kind of calls to use, you need to know what sounds will motivate an elk to act in a certain way. Basically, understand the elk sounds or BAIT to use and why you're using that bait in relation to the type of bull's behavior, time of year and time of day and motivation. On today's Blue Collar Elk Hunting Podcast, it's part 2 of our Cast Calling Series and we cover the different sounds used in our bait tackle box to get the reaction we want from a bull. We match the "bait" or elk sounds with the type of bulls and what motivates them to come in. Enjoy the show! Want to learn more success based Elk Hunting Techniques ?

There is a direct correlation between hunting success and how we feel physically. For many, the number one failure point prior to hitting the mountains this season will be their bodies. Pre-hunt injuries or problems with a shoulder, knee, back or elbow can absolutely limit your effectiveness in the elk woods this fall. And limited effectiveness will mean limited success. On today's InSight's Edition of the Blue Collar Elk Hunting Podcast, the crew is joined by Dr. Preston Ward to discuss how to reduce pain as well as prevent some of the most common injuries from training or hunting. Dr. Ward has combined his two passions of bowhunting and physical therapy to be able to specialize in helping hunting archers stay in the game. A successful bowhunter himself, Preston has taken a 350 class bull elk and as a physical therapist he works with collegiate, professional, olympic as well as mobility impaired athletes.

How do you know when or where to call elk? How do you know what call or sounds to use? Are some calls better than others at certain times of the year? How do you know what to do once you get a response? Well y'all, it's time to introduce you to what we refer to as "Cast Calling". Cast calling is about which elk call vocalizations to use, presentation and placing calls where they should get a hit. On today's show, the crew was live on YouTube to announce the lucky winner of the "Hunt with the ElkBros" Giveaway, answer questions form our ElkBros Mailbox, live listener questions as well as begin with Part 1 of our "Cast Calling" Series. We cover the "Bait" when using Cast Calling. The best elk vocalizations for time of day, time of season and various situations. Enjoy the episode!

There is a reason that only 10% of archery elk hunters punch their tag each September. We believe it's because elk hunters use the same script as most elk hunters, the same techniques as most elk hunters and they continue to make the same mistakes as most elk hunters year after year after year. They get stuck in a rut and insist on a one style fits all strategy that, if success and failure are being based on punching a tag, has led to a 90% failure rate. THAT'S NINETY PERCENT Y'ALL!!! On today's show, the crew welcomes Paul Medel to elk camp as we talk about the current script for most elk hunters, solo or partnered and why it contributes to continued low success rates and what to do to get out of the elk hunting "rut". And if you know Paul, you know the episode will be plum full of calling tips and the Medel passion! We also cover the power of sequences, knowing what to say in the right situation as well as the importance and qualities of a good setup and lots more! We hope you enjoy the episode!

Science based wildlife management is under attack in Arizona. Comments opposing the legal management of Mt. Lion, Bear and Bobcat have been submitted to the Arizona Game & Fish Dept, effectively laying the foundation during the open comment period for AZGFD rule making to get these hunts banned. If left unchecked they will succeed in not only getting these hunts removed but: Destroying the ungulate population in AZ. Setting precedence to have it banned in other states. Removing an important source of revenue for wildlife management. Please don’t allow these organizations to ruin the Arizona deer and elk herd and don’t let your fellow conservationists stand alone to fight for what they love.

Elk hunting, as in life, is all about choices. The choices we make in preparation prior to a hunt, on where we hunt and all decisions and choices made during the hunt. Each of those choices, a culmination of events that influence, alter or set us on a path that will result in a punched tag, or another year of scratching our head. Those choices can also directly influence the difficulty, danger, enjoyment or life opportunities that come our way. On today's show, the crew welcomes Grinder Stephan Richardson from Springdale, Arkansas as he shares how those very choices not only effected his hunt outcome, but they also added a newfound faith and friendship.

John talks about his crew and the adventure of a lifetime that they permitted... and then committed themselves. You'll hear all the decisions and the ups, downs and outcomes of their 2021 Western DIY, OTC, Colorado elk hunt. Were they able to accomplish their goal of seeing and just hearing the bugle of a bull elk? Well, y'all... pull up a chair and just find out! WORDS & NOTES FROM JOHN: I hope I got across that I did not kill this bull but, WE the whole group killed this bull. This bull was all of ours. Anyone with questions can contact me through my instagram @lane_vahunter. I always want to share the passion for the outdoors with a field to fork mindset. Books: Sovereignty: The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Men by author Ryan Mickler (all men can gain something from this book to better their life) Wild at Heart by John Eldredge. (christian book, literally the 1st two pages of book paint a beautiful picture of hunting Colorado for elk) Body: Workouts to prepare for hiking with a pack and running to get better cardio. Not needing a gym membership, just go cut the grass with a weighted pack and specific exercises any working man could do at home with a busy family life. Equipment: Changing from single pin to 3 pin slider due to the spot and stalk hunting method. Upping my arrow weight and higher FOC. Using a sidebar to balance bow due to quiver. Testing gear before trip: Making dehydrated meals at home on little stove and making sure I knew how it all worked. Making sure I sampled the meals to find ones I liked and did not upset my stomach. Setting up tent/sleeping system many times to make sure you could do it in your sleep (or more importantly the dark). Practice: Shooting every week with a quiver on a bow full of arrows (most east coast guys are tree stand hunters so the quiver comes off when we get in the tree). Going to 3d courses with pack on (with trip weight) & bino harness to help simulate the hunt. Making sure to guess 3d course shots before using rangefinder to get better at judging distances (may not have time to pull rangefinder out with screaming bull in your face). Practicing out to 75-80 yards so can be deadly inside 40 yards. Making sure to practice with broadheads. Success: I talked about my goals for the trip but not what success meant to me and what success should be for any rookie hunting elk. New western hunters need to know that just planning and making the trip happen with all the family dynamics (t-ball practice, work schedule etc) is what it is all about. Spending time in nature with your brothers and the fellowship is what makes the trip. We all want to kill a bull but that is the cherry on top. Spending time in God's country, seeing the beautiful aspens, the amazing stars at night or telling old stories by the campfire is what will recharge your soul and that is what success really is. God Bless and happy hunting!

Everyone has heard us say it... WE HUNT AGGRESSIVELY! But what in the heck does that mean? Are we calling angrily? Are we challenging every response? Do we run into a situation like a bull in a china closet? The problem with the word "aggressive" is that it has different meanings for different folks and most people misinterpret our tactics because of it. So it's time to fix that! On today's show, we cover the ElkBros levels and progression of aggressive elk hunting. What it is and what it isn't. First we cover what it is in the most basic and simple of terms. From there we break down all the different aspects of a hunt and how we apply our aggressiveness. During our conversation on aggressiveness, we will cover these areas and more: Locating, finding elk or bringing elk from other areas Injecting rut activity when it’s been quiet Selecting the time of day we hunt. When we start Frequency and use of calls, scenarios. Reacting to a response Moving to make a shot opportunity happen Drawing or get in rifle position Deciding on hunt areas SUBSCRIBE / RATE / REVIEW Looking for an Elk Hunting Partner?

A GAME CHANGER... That's the one thing that changes your elk hunting life forever! It's not always a skill, technique or strategy. But more of a realization or an "Ah-Ha" moment. Something happens... OR someone finally put it to you in a way that the light bulb comes on and things are never the same from that moment on! Today we share some of those "Ah-Ha" moments. With us today is special guest, Guy Duplantier, of the Western Contours Podcast. Guy returns after a 24 day elk hunt in which he calls in 13 bulls. One of them actually beds down only 5 FEET AWAY! It was the season of a lifetime for Guy and not by accident. Guy dedicated his off-season to finding the resources needed to fill the holes in his elk hunting game and then put them into practice. What he discovered was game changing for him. Come on into elk camp as we talk to Guy about those things that made the difference. How he put his knowledge to work and gained five years of experience in 5 days! We hope you enjoy the episode!

On today’s episode of Blue Collar Elk Hunting, we are still out in the mountains chasing elk and getting some great content to share, but since we aren’t back, we going to share a collaborative show I prerecorded with David Brooks of the Don’t Be Mediocre Podcast. David and I talk elk and elk hunting: Scouting for elk, comparing e-scouting vs boots on the ground. I also talk about what I look for when scouting and finding my focus areas and how I’m not focused on finding bulls while scouting. From there our conversation goes to hunting scenarios, and some of the strategies I use and how some of those strategies came about. Hope you enjoy the episode.

You hear over and over again about the major events or actions needed to successfully harvest an elk with archery equipment; how to get a response,... what a setup is,... knowing your effective range,... and then make a killing shot. Step 1, then 2, then 3 and finally four and BULL DOWN! If ONLY it happened that way! But what about all the variables leading to, or in between those steps? It's those "unknowns" not talked about from one step to the other that we are missing. Well, y'all... let's see if we can help with that! It's Part 3 of our next series: Archery Elk Hunting From Response to Release... Connecting the dots! The goal of this episode is to help you fill in some of those gaps and we begin by talking about things that happen from before you see the elk, to “there he is”. Just a few of the topics: How do I know if he is still coming? If I’m not sure what to do? Should I call to verify his location or stay silent? If I do call, what calls should I use? What if he doesn’t answer, should I move and go look for him? I still don’t see him but he sounds like he is moving to my downwind side… what do I do? He just busted out a bugle closing in, I haven’t seen him yet, but he’s way closer. Do I respond? I didn’t respond when he sounded closer, and he is still bugling but from the same location. Do I go after him? Do I call now? If so, what call? I hear another hunter off to my right, calling into the situation. What should I do? Another hunter walked into my set-up… what do I do?

Hunting elk in September during the rut is such an incredible time and opportunity. But what if you are hunting the Rut with a rifle? The opportunity to hunt elk in September or October during the rut is limited for sure, but for those that do, they are often resigned to have to listen or read tons of information about hunting the rut with archery equipment and try to find what would apply to them. Luckily, a lot of that information does apply. But for those gals and guys wanting to up their game specific to the rifle, they have to search far and wide. That's why today's show is dedicated to the rifle hunter chasing elk during the rut. We talk about strategies and how they change or at least how the goals can be both similar and different. Then, possible failure points, safety aspects unique to the rifle hunter as well as several tips you can take into the woods with you. Hope you enjoy the episode! Looking for an Elk Hunting Partner?

You hear it from everyone, and now you believe it... being able to call elk is the total game changer. Problem is, Where do you start? Most of us that do call elk begin to take a lot of things for granted that can become frustrating and a confusing myriad of questions for someone new to elk hunting. There are so many call options out there and once you do bite the bullet and select something to start with, again, another lesson in frustration and disappointment. But y'all, it doesn't have to be that way! On today's episode we talk about the elk calling learning process. What you need and how to get started calling elk. There will be lessons, examples and explanations. We talk about struggles, issues and how to fix them. We also talk about some really easy calls to make that are killer in the elk woods. Calls that anyone can do. We hope you enjoy the episode. Looking for an Elk Hunting Partner? Check out our free Elk HuntingBUDDY site. Click here!

When the Herd Bulls become the kings of September and the rut is in full swing, the bugling action is incredible. But for the archery elk hunter trying to pull that bull away from his cows with their calls, it can be a lesson in frustration. So just how can you get an opportunity on a herd bull or one of the mature bulls surrounding him? On today's show, the ElkBros talk about the pros and cons of hunting herd bulls. Those herd bull behaviors that make it so frustrating as well as those behaviors that you can exploit to create an opportunity. They talk about the best times, techniques and situations to get that shot on a herd bull or one of the satellites around him. Hope you enjoy the show! Looking for an Elk Hunting Partner?

Being able to call elk is an absolute GAME CHANGER! So how is it that almost 100% of elk hunters in September will be carrying an elk call of some kind and yet the success rate will be around 10% across the West nationwide? Is it because of a lack of knowledge or know how? The wrong type of call? Limiting equipment or skill sets? Or is it a lack of practice, the strategy they use or simply not knowing how to make the right situational decision? In our opinion, the simple answer is 'YES' to all of the above in some way or form. But here is the beauty of the situation. It doesn't have to be that way! EVERY person HAS THE ABILITY to learn to call elk and create opportunities. YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THIS! The ElkBros coaches want to help you either improve your current situation or get you started on a solid path to success. It's Part 7(a) of our ElkBros PreSeason Elk Hunting Guide - Learning to Pain With Your Elk Calling. Because of the extensive information in this section, we had to break it into two parts. Here is what we cover in the first part: - Our thoughts on 6 main problems and solutions for most elk hunters calling elk - What we feel is the most misunderstood and underused calling strategy - Engaging vs "Snubbing" your target animal - Scenario driven calling and "Painting a Picture" - Elk Calling...

Guided or DIY elk hunts? A question we have been getting a lot these days. Many hunters planning their upcoming hunts, especially first timers, are weighing whether they should hunt DIY or consider hiring a guide: "What strengths does a guide bring to a hunt that I couldn't?" "Would I learn more from a guide?" "Will I have more success?" "Can I afford it?" "Can I get a guide on public land?" "What do you recommend?" On Today’s Edition of Blue Collar Elk Hunting, your elk hunting coaches talk the pros & cons of guided vs DIY elk hunts. Included in the discussion is how not all guided or "do it yourself" hunts look alike and the variables that can bring the two closer in some ways as well as put them on the opposite ends of the scale in others. It's a great topic and one where your coaches have plenty of experience on both sides of the fence. Hope you enjoy the episode.

So you have made to the elk woods and you look around and say to yourself, WHAT NOW? You are not alone. If it’s your first time or your 10th time elk hunting, sometimes the toughest part is knowing where in the heck to start. Where to start looking for elk? To start calling? And where do you go from there once you do start? The whole process can become intimidating to the point that a person can feel lost and question everything they are doing. On Today’s Edition of Blue Collar Elk Hunting, a collaboration podcast that was an interview of Elk Hunting Coach Joe Giglia by Chad Ryker and the BackCountry Rookies Podcast. The idea of this show was to help new hunters not be intimidated by the mountains and elk hunting. Chad explains in the beginning that his first year he was blown away at the size of the Colorado mountains and as prepared as he thought he was, the first step in the woods was intimidating. Joe settles some of the confusion and talks through scenarios to help prepare a new hunter for the mountain and the elk.

Have you ever hooked a fish and then didn’t know how to reel it in? That’s exactly how it can be for us as elk hunters. We finally get a response to that location bugle we have been perfecting for weeks and THERE HE IS... it’s ELK ON! But... then what? Our mind starts racing.... Do I set up and call from here? How close should I be to set up? Do I get closer? How do I know where I should set up? All very important questions y'all. Your set-up is the last crucial component of getting into position to close the deal. No set-up, No shot. Just another fish story about "the one that got away". On Today’s Edition of Blue Collar Elk Hunting, your elk hunting coaches are at it again and this time they are out to demystify the ‘when’ and ‘where’ of setting up on a bull. Not only will they help you with the basic decision process of set-ups, solo or with a partner. But they cover a whole new approach to look and understand setups in a way never talked about before. The differences between "Dynamic" and "Static" set-ups. So pull up a chair y'all. Hope you enjoy the episode.

Cow Calls, Location Bugles, Lip Bawls, Challenge Bugles... Practicing in your garage or in your vehicle on the way to work. Getting chased out of the house! We know exactly where you are with your elk calling. Any respectable elk hunter within a thousand miles is going through the exact trials and tribulations. And the sounds are starting to come together, but you still have that anxiousness. There are still all those questions about when, how and where to use each of those calls? On Today’s Edition of Blue Collar Elk Hunting, your elk hunting coaches are here to help you... well...help yourself. (Huh?) The first question to fix your anxiousness shouldn't be about the when, how and where. The most important question simplifies the whole process. It's all about the "WHY". Why you would use a particular call. Your elk hunting coaches are going to break down the why into basic categories and talk about the calls used in each of them. For example, when it comes to bull sounds, are you trying to Locate, Participate, Irritate, Exclude or Challenge? They also discuss cow sounds. Are you trying to Locate, Relax, Pull a Bull, Demand Attention or Plead for Attention? Well y'all, pull up a chair and let's talk about it. Hope you enjoy the episode!

On Today’s Edition of Blue Collar Elk Hunting, it's Part 2 of the Series and up next it's all about your concerns over; 1) Calling Elk (What, when & why…recommended calls…the ElkBros philosophy), and 2) Knowledge of the hunting area (what to expect, what you need to know, getting info).

Elk hunting should come with a warning, “What you are about to do may change your life...forever”. What is it about something that is so physically and mentally demanding that keeps thousands coming back for more? Coming back to find something within the hunt that answers so many questions within the soul? For each of us, it will be something different. But for each of us, there is one common thread. Our life is changed from the experience. For some, it may even save our lives in ways we never knew possible. On Today’s Edition of Blue Collar Elk Hunting, Inspired from a story from one of our grinders, we talk about the many ways that elk hunting can effect your life.

Elk Hunting is about encounters and opportunities. The more encounters you have, the higher your odds at having an opportunity and closing the deal. But how is it that some people have so many more opportunities? Is it luck? My father had a saying. Whenever I would tell him he was lucky, he would always tell me "Luck is nothing but skill and opportunity meeting". When I asked him how it was that he had so many more "opportunities" than others, he just looked at me,... winked and said..."because I create MY OWN opportunities". When it comes to elk hunting, there are going to be plenty of guys and gals that have encounters and opportunities this coming season. They are going to be in the right place at the right time. But if you want to be "That Hunter", the one out of 10 that are consistently having opportunities and getting it done, year after year, then let me share a little lesson from my dad...you are going to have to learn how to create your opportunities. On this Tuesday's Show, We talk about how to create your elk hunting opportunities by being an aggressive hunter. But what does it mean to be an aggressive elk hunter? Is it screaming challenges? Is it an attitude or a temperament? Is it being a wrecking ball and forcing the issue? Well, let's see....the answer to those would be "no", "yes" and "yes and no", lol. In this episode, we are going to explain exactly what it means to be an Aggressive Elk hunter. How you too can go after those hunting opportunities like a dog on a bone, focused and yes..."Aggressive".

Understanding how and where to find and locate elk can be an incredibly daunting task for the first time or just about any level of elk hunter. Just the shear vastness when you first look at a map of a hunting area can be intimidating and have you asking yourself, "Where in the heck do I start?" On today's InSights Edition we interview Paul Medel, the ElkNut, about his process to first determine where to hunt and how he goes about finding, locating and of course calling elk in places he has never been.

This year alone, thousands of dollars are going to be invested in preparation for the upcoming season. It’s safe to say that pretty much 100% of the guys hunting for elk this year will have all the gear they need. But less than 10% of hunters, on average, will punch their tag this year. So what is the difference? Your best investment for success on your upcoming elk hunt is to invest in those areas that are going to differentiate you from the pack, and give you the best chance to be that 1 successful hunter out of 10.

To successfully fill your tag as a Solo Archery Elk Hunter, it takes a culmination of skills, abilities and knowledge. Elk Hunting Coach, Joe Giglia, has taken 34 public land elk with his bow in the last 36 years. When asked about the secret to consistently filling his tag each year, he is quick to state that the first and foremost number one reason for his success is his calling knowledge and ability. Calling is the number one tool in the bag for a solo hunter to create opportunities. Understanding when and how to use those calls is what separates the percentages of those filling their tag once every five to ten years, from those taking their elk consistently almost every season. Today's Part 5A of our Solo Archery Series on Calling Strategies and Techniques is so full of content, right at two hours, that we had to split it into two parts. Along with our ElkBros Shoutouts, the first half of the episode covers: Two common mistakes Problem with the Challenge Bugle Being effective as a beginning caller Easiest and most effective calls not used Turning a basic bugle or cow call into an advanced call Specific Solo guidelines and philosophy Understanding Bull Elk Modes The Double Bugle Engaging or Ignoring A tight setup Coming up next: Part 5B of our Calling Strategies & Techniques.

Look, if you are going to hunt Solo… Uno a Uno…You had better have your crap together. There are some great benefits to being all on your lonesome....moving, living and hunting free as a bird. But there can be some drawbacks as well. The key is in knowing what those drawbacks are…understanding and being ready for them. On Today's show, it's Part 2 of our Solo Series. We talk about the benefits and difficulties of hunting solo. Identifying those areas that we want to plan to overcome in next week's show. We discuss skill sets, mentality, freedoms, planning, costs, conditioning, meat care, gear needs, safety and the whole aspect of just being alone.

When you’re hunting Solo, that’s an easy when it comes to a lot of the aspects of your hunt. It’s all on you. Where you hunt, when you hunt, how you hunt… It’s you and you alone that are responsible for all successes and all failures. But what about elk hunting in a group? Well y’all, that’s a horse of a different color. Now you have just added a lot more elements, dynamics and decisions to the success equation.

That is, if the group is on the same page and understands what it takes to be successful as a whole. Your elk hunting coaches want to share some important tips that can help you and your group not only be more successful, But more importantly, to have way more enjoyment and fulfillment in the process.

Do you shy away from hunting high pressured areas? Over the counter tags (OTC) are a great way to insure that you're able to hunt elk every year. But many hunters worry about having to deal with the sheer numbers of other hunters in the woods and the effect the pressure will have on their chances to punch a tag. Sure, hunting popular OTC areas comes with challenges. But that can either become your excuse… or the feather in your cap. Every year, in the most pressured areas, with some of the lower success rates, there are still going to be hunters getting it done….making it happen. So why not you? On this show, we are going to talk about hunting high pressured areas and discuss ways for you to adapt your thinking to find the “holes”. Not just the locations or places where elk can be found, but also in the time you choose to locate and hunt.

**NOTE** This show was based on the 2020 Archery season, but the thought process has nuggets for any year. Archery Elk hunters are already wanting to know the best days for this year's hunting seasons. The hard part is… It’s Real life…and sometimes the best days are not always an option. Not if your hunt is dependent on the Labor Day weekend or your state has thrown in a wrench or two with the season dates or even other conflicting hunting seasons. It’s Just reality. There are a number of conditions that will effect your hunt plan… What if you only have weekends? What if you have 2 or 5 vacation days? Or even better…7 to 10 vacation days? What days would help you maximize your hunt time and give you the best opportunity? Are there any days that you should possibly avoid? On Today’s Show, we start first with the Archery season and use New Mexico and Colorado as examples with different scenarios and considerations while trying to maximize your hunt time and opportunities.

Think about it....one year of elk hunting only means what…. 3,4,5...10 days of experience. To be a successful elk hunter…you have to grow in the Off-season. You are just like an athlete. If you only practice and prepare in season, then four years down the line, it MIGHT just all come together. A hunter that only hunts elk 5 days out of the year only gains almost a month of experience after 5 seasons. But if you work in the off season….scrimmage…..practice moves……become a student of the sport…..you can speed up that learning curve and start kicking butt this very next season. Y’all, if you want to be successful next year….your season isn’t over. Todays show is all about the Offseason Elk Hunter.
