I have Jason Holliday on the Backcountry Rookies Podcast this week.  Jason drew a Colorado elk tag this year in the same unit he started hunting in several years ago.  On the show Jason talks about his how he plans to hunt the unit this year versus how he did it way back when and how his hunting style has changed over the years.  This is a fun show for Chad and Jason to catch up and talk about hunting in Colorado.
