In this special episode of the Out of State Hunter Podcast, Chad is joined by Austin and Bo Prieskorn to relive a truly once in a lifetime elk hunt in the mountains of Virginia. After a rare stroke of raffle luck, Bo won a transferable Virginia elk tag from Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in a state where elk are just beginning to make a comeback. Bo was able to gift the tag to his son Austin and that is how this story begins. Virginia reintroduced elk several years ago and the heard has matured to the size that can allow a few tags each year.  Bo and Austin were lucky to get their hands on one of the first ever Virginia elk tags and they took the western elk hunting game to the Virginia mountains to find a giant bull elk.  It was an amazing journey for Austin and Bo.  It started with a once in a lifetime big horn sheep tag in Oregon and include a mule deer, barbary sheep and finally a record book elk in Virginia in only seven days.  This is a story you do not want to miss.  Austin and Bo tell the story as if it were yesterday even though it was a couple of years ago.   AUSTIN PRIESKORNInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/austinprieskorn/ BO PRIESKORNInstagram -https://www.instagram.com/bo.prieskorn.photography/   OUT OF STATE HUNTER@outofstatehunter  GOHUNTUse the code OUTOFSTATE when you become an Insider and get $50 in GOHUNT Gear Shop Credithttps://www.gohunt.com ARROWHEAD RIFLES - Website -https://arrowheadrifles.comInstagram -https://www.instagram.com/arrowheadrifles/ TRICER USA Use the code OUTOFSTATE and save 10%Website –https://tricerusa.com/Instagram -@tricerusaFacebook -https://www.facebook.com/tricerusa/ DEFIANCE MACHINESave 10% off at Defiance Machine with the code OUTOFSTATE10Website -https://defiancemachine.comInstagram -https://www.instagram.com/defiancemachine/ #OutOfStateHunter #ElkHunting #VirginiaElk #OnceInALifetimeHunt #FatherSonHunt #ConservationSuccess #BackcountryHunting #BigGameHunting #HuntVirginia #ElkTag #HuntingPodcast #WesternHunting #ElkSeason #PublicLandHunter #ElkHuntingStories #RaffleTagWin #RecordBookElk #BarbarySheepHunt #MuleDeerHunt #BighornSheepHunt #HuntingJourney #MountainHunting #ElkCampVibes #HuntHard #TagOfALifetime

On this week's episode Mitch is joined by friends and family Jacob Mengel and Neal Kerschner. Neal was fortunate to draw the tag of a lifetime: a Pennsylvania bull elk tag. Neal was joined by his dad and Jacob, and the crew was able to experience what most only dream about. Neal punched his tag on a beautiful 6x6 on the second day of the season on public land. He was proud to have the hunt play out in a manner closely to what he envisioned: a hunt worth working for. An added bonus is that Neal's bull may be the northernmost bull elk harvested in PA's history since the hunt began. We discuss the emotional rollercoaster of drawing the tag, choosing an outfitter, then hurrying up to wait for the December 28th opener. Sit back and enjoy!   Learn more about your ad choices.
