Episode 212 - In this episode of The Salty Yak Outdoors Podcast me and my hunting buddy, Curtis, sit down and recount our recent cow/spike elk hunt in Utah!  We said in Episode 166 that we would never do the Utah OTC cow/spike elk hunt again, but we did.  It was an amazing trip and adventure!  Tune in and hear all about our 11 day hunt.  The ups and downs and what we learned from our trip.  Thanks for listening!  

In this episode of the Out of State Hunter Podcast, Chad talks with Jason Holiday, host of the Harvest Holliday Podcast. Jason shares why he made the tough decision to skip elk season this year to focus on studying for an important exam, and how family conversations helped shape that choice. He offers valuable advice for new elk hunters, like the importance of rest, hydration, and soaking in the full experience rather than just chasing a tag. With elk on hold, Jason is shifting his focus to whitetail season in Ohio, where he's excited to put cell cameras and public land scouting to work. Though he'll miss the mountains this fall, Jason looks forward to returning next season with fresh energy and a deeper appreciation for the hunt.  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 #westernhunting #elkseason #elkhunting #backcountryhunting #publiclandhunter #mountainhunting #diyhunter #huntmorethanthewest #huntpublic #chasingelk #whitetailhunting #whitetailnation #deerseason #rutreport #buckfever #publiclandbucks #midwesthunting #huntwhitetail #huntinglife #hunterlifestyle #bowhuntingnation #archeryhunting #diyhunting #huntwithpassion #fieldtobowl #conservationthroughhunting

Elk hunting isn't just about gear—it's about fitness, mental toughness, and knowing when to push. In this episode, I sit down with Jim Bortz, a wildlife artist and lifelong hunter who transitioned from whitetails to chasing bulls in Wyoming. We dig into the realities of elk hunting: fitness that actually matters, the urge to quit (and how to overcome it), solo hunting challenges, and what courses really move the needle. Jim has participated in my courses, courses with Ryan Lampers, Elk 101, training with Joel Turner and many other options out there. We talk about what has worked for him.The in-person course I offer that we discuss - https://pursuitwithcliff.com/elk-hunting-master-class/Jim Bortz – Wildlife artist, lifelong bowhunter, and western elk hunter.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jim_bortz (Art) and https://www.instagram.com/mtn_hunter_307 (Hunting and Fitness) ---FOLLOW CLIFFYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGrayInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliffPursuit With Cliff Podcasthttps://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/Hunt.

Send us a textDave MacKillop finds himself in an enviable yet challenging position after his wife Jen drew both elk and moose tags in Saskatchewan this season - a statistical anomaly that has hunters across the province both impressed and envious. With consecutive hunting seasons approaching rapidly, Dave shares his comprehensive preparation strategy for these high-stakes hunts.The conversation dives deep into the realities of Saskatchewan's hunting system, where progressing through the pool status (from D to Super A) typically takes years for a single species tag. For Jen to draw both coveted either-sex tags simultaneously is practically unheard of, setting the stage for an extraordinary hunting season for the MacKillop family.As an experienced moose hunter facing his first elk hunt, Dave details his meticulous approach to scouting, calling practice, and understanding animal movements. His elk bugling practice sessions have become a family joke, with his children heading outdoors whenever he reaches for the bugle call. Between strategic trail camera placement, mineral site preparation, and understanding wind patterns, Dave's comprehensive preparation showcases the level of dedication serious hunting requires.The podcast reveals fascinating insights about wildlife behavior, habitat preferences, and the differences between hunting solo animals like moose versus herd animals like elk. Dave's trail cameras have already captured impressive footage of a six-by-six bull elk, providing valuable intelligence about movement patterns and potential ambush locations. Meanwhile, their Winchester Model 70 in .30-06 stands ready, a proven performer that Jen will use for both hunts.Beyond the technical aspects, the conversation touches on something deeper - the multi-generational nature of hunting traditions and the challenges of introducing young people to hunting in today's digital world. With Dave's 12-year-old daughter also beginning to hunt this season, we witness a father thoughtfully balancing his role as husband, guide, and mentor during what promises to be their most memorable hunting season yet.Subscribe to Hunts On Outfitting podcast for the follow-up episode where we'll hear directly from Jen about how these hunts unfolded and whether she managed to tag out on both these magnificent animals.Check us out on Facebook and instagram Hunts On Outfitting, and also our YouTube page Hunts On Outfitting Podcast. Tell your hunting buddies about the podcast if you like it, Thanks!

In late August, the Administration published a proposal to rescind the Roadless Rule in most states across the United States, calling into question the legal status of more than 45 million acres of National Forest lands. Dave and Nephi provide a high level overview of the history of the Roadless Rule; activities it allows and disallows; the unique status of Colorado and Idaho; the importance of Roadless areas to wildlife; the importance of roads to firefighting;  what the proposal actually does; how to provide comments; and whether there's a middle ground. Take a listen--like everything, there's some nuance.

Join host Cody Rich for an action-packed episode with Trent Fisher, a seasoned elk hunter known for crushing it on over-the-counter (OTC) units across multiple states. Trent shares his approach to finding elk in Oregon's tight Roosevelt country, his excitement for a first-time Utah hunt, and the joy of taking his kids into the backcountry. We dive into tactics like the cat road shuffle, reading sign, and adapting to high-pressure units with better callers and smarter hunters. From navigating micro pockets to sharing meat with buddies, this episode is loaded with practical tips and stories to fuel your elk season. Don't miss Trent's take on woodsmanship, hunting ethics, and why finding elk is the real superpower. Grab your gear and get ready to hunt smarter! Timestamp Chapters 00:00 - Intro and Season Hype: Cody kicks things off, checking the record button and getting stoked for elk season with Trent Fisher in the studio. 02:15 - Balancing Business and Hunting: Discussing the chaos of July and August in the hunting industry, cashing in family bonus points, and gearing up for multiple hunts. 05:30 - Why Utah for OTC?: Trent explains his plan to hunt Utah's OTC units for more elk encounters, comparing it to Colorado's tougher odds and the value of “at bats.” 09:45 - Trent's YouTube Mission: Breaking down barriers for new hunters, showing anyone can elk hunt with modern tools like OnX, and why Oregon's OTC is a go-to. 14:20 - Best OTC States and Strategies: Trent ranks Wyoming and Colorado as top OTC states, sharing how he targets new units and avoids over-hunted spots. 19:00 - The Cat Road Shuffle Evolved: How Trent's run-and-gun calling has slowed down for precision, focusing on benches, bedding areas, and reading elk behavior. 25:30 - Roosevelt Elk Challenges: Navigating Oregon's tight pockets, dealing with silent bulls, and using night bugling to pinpoint elk in low-visibility terrain. 32:45 - Finding Elk Without Bugles: Trent's woodsmanship approach—checking bottoms, water holes, and micro benches when bugling and glassing aren't options. 39:10 - Adapting to Pressure and Change: Discussing how better hunters and OnX have changed the game, and why finding unpressured pockets is key. 45:25 - Hunting with Kids: Trent shares lessons from taking his daughter caribou hunting and prepping his son for a Colorado backcountry hunt, emphasizing slowing down. 52:00 - Hunting Ethics and Meat Sharing: Trent's code for splitting meat with buddies—front quarters, backstraps, or 50/50 for tough pack-outs. 58:15 - Moose and Elk Meat Talk: Stories of donating moose meat in Alaska, comparing elk to ribeyes, and why one old bull was inedible. 1:04:30 - Gear Favorites and Elk Week: Trent's take on Born Primitive, First Lite, and Stone Glacier gear, plus a plug for their Elk Week video series. 1:09:00 - Wrap-Up and Season Wishes: Cody and Trent look forward to the Utah film, kid adventures, and crushing it in multiple states.

Adapt to Pressure with Micro Pockets: With better hunters and tools like OnX, success comes from finding overlooked pockets just beyond the crowd.

Meanwhile, covering ground fast to find elk, then slowing for the kill, is key—especially when balancing family and hunting.

Send us a textThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale has another great conversation with FWP, Game Management Bureau Chief, Brian Wakeling, this time about Montana's Elk Shoulder Seasons. These seasons are already underway in several hunting districts and will go on and off through February 15th, 2026. Just that statement right there is confusing. Thus, there are a whole lot of hunters that pass on giving these elk harvest opportunities a try. Rigger has received a whole lot of emails from many podcast listeners and viewers complaining about that. Folks have said things like "I have a helluva time figuring out what tag I even need in Shoulder Seasons near me" or "Antlerless elk!? Does that mean a cow or calf or what" or "just when I thought I had it figured out, I head out and the landowner said, "hey you can't do that here now that was for last week!" And the list goes on and on. That's why your host Downrigger Dale said "not this year, all that confusion needs to be cleared up and Brian Wakeling is the perfect guy for the job. Brian is excellent at explaining everything you need to know about Elk Shoulder Seasons. During the podcast Brian even opened the 2025 hunting regulations and showed some examples of where to look for Shoulder Season info and more importantly what all that info means. Once you listen or watch this podcast you will be walking around with a big beautiful light bulb above your head! True you won't be bringing home a trophy mount, but you will be able to fill your freezer with delicious elk meat! That is way better than sipping on a mug of tag soup!

Alright folks, elk season is just around the corner, and to help us all get ready, I am reposting some of the best elk hunting episodes I have done in the past.

Whether you're a seasoned elk hunter or just starting, this episode provides actionable insights that will help you become a more effective hunter.

Don't Overstay in a Spot: If you're not seeing elk or hearing calls, don't hesitate to move on.

Host Joseph and guest (outfitter Tate Bradfield) detail why each item is important, along with how to pick the right brand and model for your specific needs.  This was recorded outside by an early morning campfire, so the audio isn't as good as our usually studio sound, and there are occasional wind noises.
