In this episode Brian Barney sits down with Nate Illingsworth. Nate has a hilarious social media page and is also a die-hard bowhunter. He tells some great stories of setting his house on fire and getting his bow stuck at full draw on a big bull. Nate is self-deprecating but has a super-inspirational story: he weighed over 300 pounds and got himself in shape just to bow hunt elk. He is doing all the necessary skill work, fitness and putting his time in to become consistently successful. He found some great hunting last season and the guys talk about his evolution. It's a great podcast this week on Eastmans Elevated.

Most elk hunters make one costly mistake: they move too much, call too much, and blow out the very bulls they're trying to hunt. Kurt from Western Obsession breaks down the smarter, harder way to hunt elk, and why staying put, reading wind, and letting the glass do the work can change everything. Returning guest Kurt joins Dan Johnson to unpack the exact mindset and field strategy behind successful western elk hunting, from archery season in the rut to late-season rifle hunts. He explains why the best hunters aren't the loudest ones, why bugle tubes can do more harm than good, and how to turn elk behavior into a plan instead of a gamble. You'll discover: How Kurt scouts elk country by focusing on non-motorized access, north-facing bedding slopes, south-facing feed zones, and water Why mornings and evenings matter most, and when midday "trolling" through timber can actually help locate bulls The difference between trying to call elk in and simply getting ahead of them for a spot-and-stalk setup Why late-season elk hunting is a glassing game, not a calling game The gear that actually keeps you on the mountain longer, including rain gear, boots, merino layers, a zero-degree bag, electrolytes, chapstick, and even a bow hitch Kurt also shares the mental side of elk hunting that too many people underestimate: frozen boots, soaked gear, brutal elevation, and the pressure of being in the kill bubble when one wrong move can end everything. If you've ever wondered why elk hunting feels so humbling, or how to finally stop getting your butt kicked in the mountains, this conversation gives you the framework. They also get into the evolving debate over bow vs rifle for western species, why archery elk remains the ultimate challenge, and what it really takes to go from "just some idiot walking around the woods with a bow" to feeling truly dangerous in elk country.Perfect for western hunters, DIY elk hunters, and anyone who wants a real-world strategy for hunting elk smarter, staying tougher, and making better decisions when it matters most.

How to Draw Public Land Western Tags for Elk Hunting without Wasting Years | 100% WILD Podcast In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik sit down with special in-studio guest Jake Arvold from 1st Phorm Outdoors (host of The Experience More Podcast) to break down Western big game prep and backcountry land management. Jake shares his unique background growing up on a northern Wisconsin elk ranch before detailing how he built the 1st Phorm Outdoors brand to connect fitness, nutrition, and hunting. He delivers a masterclass on e-scouting DIY public land elk hunts across states like Colorado and Idaho, demonstrating how to use digital mapping apps to pinpoint steep topography, hog's backs, hidden benches, and water runoffs where mature bulls evade human pressure. The crew dives deep into Western thermals, explaining why mountain wind consistently pulls toward cool water sources and how hunters can move silently through tight contour lines without getting busted. Jake's discusses his harrowing solo DIY elk hunt in the Colorado wilderness. After his wife Tina and 10-month-old daughter Aurora dropped him off at a steep trailhead, Jake silently stalked a massive herd bull, pinwheeling it four times between 28 and 60 yards. He details the terrifying aftermath of an 187-pound pack-out in total darkness, where slipping off a deadfall log threw him eight feet down a slope, leaving him injured until fellow hunters stepped in to help. Rounding out the show, the hosts explore the 1st Phorm App's custom backcountry fitness protocols (Mountain Proof 2.0 and Camp Protocol), VO2 max metrics for longevity, Missouri's upcoming bear tag season, and a rapid-fire "This or That" round on early-season whitetail tactics. 00:00:00 – Summer Recap: Welcoming Jake from 1st Phorm Outdoors 00:01:06 – Road Warrior Life: Total Archery Challenge (TAC) & Outdoor Events 00:03:42 – Building 1st Phorm Outdoors: Supplement Tools for Backcountry Athletes 00:07:16 – Growing Up on a Wisconsin Elk Ranch: Raising World-Class Bulls 00:09:40 – Western Big Game Mindset: Over-The-Counter (OTC) vs. State Draw Systems 00:17:03 – E-Scouting Blueprint: Locating Hog's Backs, Pockets & Steep Topo Benches 00:22:12 – Thermals & Wind Science: Why Mountain Air Always Pulls to Cool Water 00:24:41 – Elk vs. Whitetail Tactics: Sound, Vision, and Moving Through Heavy Cover 00:28:50 – The Solo Colorado Elk Hunt: Family Trailhead Drop-Offs with a 10-Month-Old 00:33:17 – Concrete Slab Fire Towers & Surviving Mountain Rainstorms 00:38:14 – Bypassing Hunter Pressure: Climbing 500ft Vertical Off Roadside Guts 00:41:30 – Silently Stalking the Herd Bull: 4 Rapid-Fire Arrows at 28–60 Yards 00:46:08 – The 187lb Pack-Out Disaster: Falling 8 Feet Off a Deadfall Log in the Dark 00:51:30 – Backcountry Brotherhood: Calling Late-Night Pack-Out Support 00:57:32 – 1st Phorm App Workouts: Mountain Proof 2.0 & Camp Protocol Programs 01:04:33 – Post-Workout Mountain Nutrition: Fueling Calorie Deficits with Formula 1 01:08:45 – Longevity & VO2 Max: Muscle Mass, Health Shifts, and Passing the Heritage 01:23:27 – This or That: Early Season Whitetail Strategy Edition 01:27:46 – Bass Pro Sunset Hills Fall Classic Preview with Matt & Terry Drury 01:31:23 – Drawing Missouri Bear Tags & The Real Name for a Group of Bears Join the Rack Pack Facebook Group :/ n73gskjt7bfb2ngc Get ahead of your Game with DeerCast available on iOS and Android devices App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deerc...

This week we're joined by outdoor content creator Gabe Robinson for a conversation that goes far beyond hunting. Gabe shares how his Christian faith has shaped his life, his approach to the outdoors, and the way he creates authentic content in an online industry that often pushes influence over purpose. We dive into Gabe's unique journey into archery, starting later in life and teaching himself the craft from the ground up. From overcoming the learning curve to developing his own hunting philosophy, Gabe offers encouragement for anyone who's ever wondered if it's too late to get started. On the content creation side, we talk camera gear, filming hunts, storytelling and the technological battle of authentic versus fake in the outdoor industry. Whether you're an aspiring creator or a dedicated bowhunter, this episode is packed with practical insights and genuine conversation.Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

Alright guys, this week we're kicking it off with Tate Bradfield, founder of Process Based Hunter. Tate's got one of the more interesting backstories I've heard on this show — went from working in a mine, to door-to-door sales, to guiding elk for other outfitters, to eventually running his own semi-guided elk hunting courses where he takes 150-180 people a year and actually teaches them how to hunt instead of just pointing at a bull and telling them to shoot. We riff on a ton of stuff in this one — his "at-bats" philosophy for picking a guided hunt (spoiler: stop asking how big the bulls are and start asking how many encounters per day you'll get), why he thinks cow calling during rifle season is one of the most underused tactics out there, how he snuck within 60 yards of a 200-inch mule deer with a cow elk decoy and no rifle in hand, and why most guys pack way too much gear and focus on the wrong stuff before a hunt. If you've ever thought about leveling up your elk hunting instead of just white-knuckling your way through another season, this episode's for you. Tate's semi-guided archery course still has a few spots open for 2026, and rifle spots are open for 2027 — head to processbasedhunter.com or check him out on Instagram @processbasedhunter.

This week on the Fall Obsession Podcast, we're joined by Heidi Stout—huntress, outdoor advocate, founder of The Light Ranch, host of From the Ashes Podcast and someone whose personal journey has been shaped by faith, resilience, and a deep connection to the outdoors. In this episode Heidi shares her story, from her introduction to hunting and the outdoors to the struggles and experiences that have influenced her passion for helping others. We discuss the lessons learned through time spent in the field, the importance of mentorship, and how hunting and the outdoors can serve as a powerful tool for building confidence, character, and community. We also explore the mission behind The Light Ranch and how Heidi is using outdoor experiences to make a positive impact in the lives of others. Along the way, we talk about conservation, stewardship and the responsibility hunters have to pass on our traditions to the next generation.

Ike sits down with Steve Decker, Chief Revenue Officer of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, for a wide-ranging conversation about conservation, hunting heritage, and the future of one of America's most impactful wildlife organizations. Steve grew up in Libby, Montana — son of RMEF founding member Charlie Decker — and has spent his life woven into the fabric of elk conservation, from working in the visitor center as a college student to leading the organization's outward-facing operations today.

In this episode, Jurgen Schwanecke and Cliff break down how hunting in New Zealand actually works, from public land access to species like tahr and chamois, and what makes it so different from hunting in the U.S. We also get into the realities—terrain, weather, physical demands, and why success isn't guaranteed just because opportunity exists.Jurgen also talks about culling work and the skills that come from shooting a high volume of animals in real-world conditions.00:00 — Why New Zealand Might Be the Best Hunting Country01:24 — How New Zealand Got Its Game Animals (1850s Origins)11:30 — Jurgen's Background Guiding the Flat Tops in Colorado13:25 — Conservation Culture Clash: Anti-Hunters in NZ vs. the US16:37 — How New Zealand's Hunting System Actually Works (Tags, Seasons, Land)21:05 — Bringing Firearms In: NZ Gun Laws After the 2019 Shooting23:56 — DIY in NZ vs. Over-the-Counter Elk in Colorado: Which Is Harder?27:25 — Fitness, Terrain, and Why NZ Rewards Going Deep30:03 — If You Only Hunt Once: Why Tahr Should Be the Trip32:35 — Red Stag vs. Elk: Calls, Behavior, and Tactics34:17 — Bowhunting Culture in New Zealand36:14 — Using NZ as an Off-Season Practice Ground for American Hunters39:43 — Bringing Trophies and Meat Home41:03 — Cultural Norms Americans Should Know Before Hunting NZ47:25 — Jurgen's Culling Work: Goats, Deer, and Night Shooting50:29 — Lessons From Killing Thousands: Shooting Positions and Setups55:25 — The .223 as a Serious Hunting Cartridge58:26 — Terminal Performance: .223 vs .308 vs .2701:01:31 — Shoulder vs. Crease: The Big American/Kiwi Shot Placement Debate1:10:18 — Why Jurgen Hunts With a .270 Winchester1:12:05 — Gear Differences: What Kiwis Carry vs. What Americans Pack1:15:44 — Jurgen's Guiding Operation: Public Land Wilderness Hunts1:18:34 — Planning Your NZ Trip: Trip Length and Helicopter Access1:22:42 — Where to Find Jurgen Online & Sign-OffJurgen Schwanecke's youtube and instagramhttps://www.youtube.com/@strider_mediahttps://www.instagram.com/strider_media/---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.

Our guest is Eric Lee, a cougar depredation specialist in western Oregon. When a mountain lion killed his wife's favorite goat, Eric realized he could do something about it. Next, he found himself helping neighbors and now this quiet unassuming man has found himself helping livestock owners in his area deal with problem lions. Cougar thru the doggy door. Cats that thrill kill. That spree kill. That hunt in groups. Some of what you will hear here is startling.

Trent and Matt continue their multi-part "skill and craft" hunting series, reflecting on woodsmanship, learning through failure, and the hard work of elk hunting. They discuss how confidence affects shooting, including experiences with target panic and a dangerous bow failure that created lasting doubt, emphasizing practice and equipment checks before season and after travel due to elevation changes. They outline a practical glassing method: quickly check close cover and perimeters, scan distant areas, then systematically work back through a unit, and stress the importance of quickly landmarking and communicating an animal's location to partners. They frame elk hunting as a team sport where shared "comms" and defined roles (like shooter/spotter) improve success, and they describe stalking and calling strategy: pin locations, consider wind/time, wait for bedding, avoid obstacles that cause hang-ups, and reposition rather than forcing a stalled bull. They close with plans for future guests and broader topics beyond hunting.
Zach did everything he was supposed to do went to college, got the tech job, bought the house. Then one day he looked around and realized he couldn't fix a single thing without calling someone. That bothered him enough to start learning skills on the side while keeping his white collar career going. What started as picking up welding and hunting turned into serious research about what happened to trades in this country and why people treat that kind of work like it's beneath them. When he was eliminated his tech position after 12 years and his savings ran out after 11 months, those side skills kept him afloat. Trapping and taxidermy paid the bills until he landed another tech role. COVID sped up what he'd already figured out being completely dependent on everything working perfectly all the time is a bad bet. We talk about how schools systematically got rid of shop classes, why looking down on skilled work makes no sense, and how learning to handle things yourself changes what you think you're capable of.HighlightsHow realizing you can't handle basic problems in your own life pushes you to learn practical skills even while working a desk job.Why education policy changes over decades systematically removed shop classes and created the skilled worker shortage we're dealing with now.The confidence that comes from learning hands-on skills carries over into everything else you do, not just the specific task you learned.How many people are quietly interested in becoming more self-reliant but won't say it out loud because of what others might think.Why the idea that white collar jobs are secure and blue collar work is beneath people turned out to be completely backwards.Make sure to subscribe to Blue Collar BS where we explore how different generations approach work, leadership, and building careers in the trades.

What's up everyone! This week I'm sitting down with Jerrod Lile, CEO of Hunting Fool and one of the most underrated elk hunters you've never heard enough from. Jerrod spent 14 years working alongside Dan Evans at Trophy Taker—yeah, THE Dan Evans—and the stories and lessons he picked up during that time are absolute gold. This conversation goes deep. We talk about how Jerrod went from being a good shooter to a great archer after Dan called him out on his bad habits, the mental game required to perform under pressure (spoiler: it's just like you to make a good shot), and why he's helped 15 first-time bowhunters kill their first elk. Jerrod breaks down his hunting philosophy into one simple mantra: get as close as you can for as long as you can, and good stuff will happen. But this episode isn't all tactics and tips. Jerrod gets brutally honest about the emotional rollercoaster of elk hunting—from getting too cocky after a string of successes and missing a giant bull at 35 yards, to the heartbreak of his father passing away in the middle of a 23-point Arizona hunt. That story alone is worth the listen. It's raw, it's real, and it's a reminder that elk hunting is about so much more than antlers. We also dive into the psychology of hunting with other people (spoiler: it usually makes you worse), why repeating the same game plan year after year is a trap, and how to pivot when things aren't working. Jerrod doesn't hold back on his mistakes—like setting up a comfy wall tent camp in Arizona and being too stubborn to relocate when the pressure got heavy—and the lessons he's learned from them. If you want to hear from someone who's been in the trenches for decades, worked with legends, and still gets humbled by elk every single season, this is the episode for you. Jerrod is humble, authentic, and full of hard-earned wisdom that only comes from putting in the work year after year. Sponsors Stone Glacier - If you're in the market for a new pack, Jerrod and I both run Stone Glacier gear. I packed out a lot of animals this year with the Sky Archer 6400, including a couple elk. The thing I love about Stone Glacier packs is they work whether you're on a 10-day backpack trip or day hunting from the truck. Minimalist design, tough as nails, and they collapse down so you don't need multiple packs. Built by mountain hunters for mountain hunters. Check out the Sky Archer 6400 at stoneglacier.com and use code TRO. Tricer - Tricer makes way more than just tripods. One of my favorite products is the RP Bipod—a legit hunting bipod with all the features you'd expect from a high-dollar setup. At 10.5 ounces, it's lightweight enough to take on any hunt. Comes with everything: long legs, short legs, works on Picatinny or Arca. For $350, it's a no-brainer. I've shot a lot of critters off mine. Head to tricer.com and use code TRO to save 10%.

Timestamps 00:00 - Intro: The underrated elk hunter you need to hear from 04:30 - Working alongside Dan Evans at Trophy Taker 09:15 - Going to first and second grade together 14:20 - The story that changed everything: Dan circles a bull in New Mexico 19:45 - "Iron Elk Syndrome" and why calling is the default trap 24:30 - Helping 15 first-time bowhunters kill their first elk 28:50 - The mantra: Get as close as you can for as long as you can 32:40 - Managing the emotional rollercoaster of new hunters 37:10 - Dan breaking down Jerrod's shooting and rebuilding it 42:20 - "It's like me to make a good shot" - the mental game 46:15 - Getting cocky and missing a giant bull at 35 yards 50:30 - Arizona 2023: Hunting with his son and running into people 55:40 - The lesson: Don't repeat the same game plan year after year 58:20 - Hunting with multiple people makes you worse 1:02:15 - The 23-point Arizona hunt and losing his father mid-hunt 1:08:45 - Shooting the bull on the last night with 15 minutes of light 1:12:30 - Carrying his dad's ashes on every hunt 1:15:00 - Hunting Fool giveaway and closing thoughts Three Key Takeaways Master the Mental Game of Archery - Jerrod learned from Dan Evans that you can control every variable in elk hunting except whether you'll panic when the moment comes. He spent months blind bailing, shooting 5-spots, and reading books like With Winning in Mind to build his mental game. His mantra under pressure: "It's like me to make a good shot." Repeating that phrase in third person creates psychological distance from the pressure and keeps you focused on execution. Great elk hunters aren't just good woodsmen—they're elite archers who can perform when it counts. Hunting with Others Usually Makes You Worse - Jerrod's favorite way to hunt with buddies? Share camp, high-five in the morning, split up, and reconvene at night. When you're constantly consulting with a partner—should we go this way? Should we move?—you have 15 mini-meetings a day and 0.5x the decision-making power. Even worse, if your gut disagrees with your partner's call, you'll be less committed, step on a stick, or miss the subtle cues that lead to success. Pick a point person, trust them completely, or hunt solo. Don't Fall in Love with Last Year's Game Plan - Jerrod burned his Arizona hunt by repeating the same meal plan that worked the year before. Just because elk were in a certain spot last year (or the last three years) doesn't mean they'll be there this year. People change, pressure changes, and elk are nomadic. If you're consistently running into hunters or the elk aren't doing what they did before, pivot early. Don't lose four days being stubborn. The devil you don't know might be better than the devil you do.

What's up everyone! This week I'm sitting down with Chris Burandt—yeah, THE Chris Burandt. X Games gold medalist, backcountry snowmobile legend, and someone I've looked up to since the original Schooled videos dropped. If you grew up watching extreme snowmobiling, you know exactly who this guy is. But what a lot of people don't know is that Chris is also a serious elk hunter who's been chasing bulls with a bow for over 25 years. This conversation is incredible because we dive deep into what it takes to master a craft—whether that's throwing backflips at X Games or stalking a giant public land bull for 20 straight days. Chris breaks down his journey from hating hunting as a kid (sitting in the cold while his dad napped) to becoming obsessed with bowhunting after reading Cam Hanes' book and having his mind blown on his very first day in the woods. We talk about the parallels between high-level snowmobiling and elk hunting, why both require you to get comfortable being uncomfortable, and how Chris's ability to read terrain from a snowmobile gives him a massive advantage when hunting big country. He also gets brutally honest about the mistakes he's made—including missing a giant bull at 46 yards after spending an entire season prepping for that exact moment, and what he learned from it. One of the most fascinating parts of this episode is Chris talking about spending 20 days hunting ONE bull on public land in Colorado without making a single call until the moment he shot. We break down the chess match, the patience required, and whether he should've been more aggressive. This is a masterclass in strategic hunting, mental preparation, and the sacrifice required to be a true 10-percenter. If you want to hear from someone who's mastered pressure situations at the highest level and is now applying that same intensity to archery elk hunting, this episode is for you. Chris is real, humble, and just getting started in this game—and that makes his perspective incredibly valuable. Sponsors Tricer - I run Tricer gear, and for good reason. They just dropped the updated AD and BC tripods with new TriTech technology—smaller diameter center post, packs down smaller, couple inches shorter, and a cleaner top.

Tactics breakdown 1:06:15 - Advice for new bowhunters and closing thoughts Three Key Takeaways Guiding for Experience is Underrated - Chris gave up three of his own hunting seasons to guide on private land, not for the money, but for the reps. Being around elk every single day, getting multiple "at bats" in a season instead of hoping for one opportunity on public land, accelerated his learning curve by years. If you want to get better fast, find ways to be around elk as much as possible—even if it means helping friends on their hunts or volunteering to pack out. Control the Controllables, Then Trust the Process - Chris went all-in preparing for his 2023 dream tag—quit drinking, worked out every day, scouted relentlessly, dialed his gear—but he neglected shooting practice. He had a 46-yard shot on a giant bull and missed because he split the wrong pins. His lesson: You can do 99% of it right and still fail if you don't master the fundamentals. Shooting your bow consistently, year-round, is non-negotiable if you want to capitalize when the moment comes. Reading Terrain Like a Snowmobiler Gives You a Massive Edge - Chris's ability to see mountains on a macro level (from snowmobiling hundreds of miles and connecting drainages) gives him a huge advantage over hunters who think micro. Most hunters pick a trailhead and hunt one drainage. Elite hunters understand how the entire mountain system works—where elk can move between basins, what routes they'll take, and how to cut them off. If you want to be a 10-percenter, stop thinking small and start hunting the whole mountain.
We talk to James Flaherty about his hunting journey with a rifle on public land in the Oregon Cascades, calling elk in rifle season. James started hunting with a 243 and a Nosler 95-grain Partition and hunted with a 7mm Mag and moved to the 30-06 and 165-grain Ballistic Tips. He talks about elk hunting in northeast Oregon too.

This conversation with Briggs Pittman breaks down what actually kills elk on hard, public land hunts. Not theory, not gear hype, but decision-making, preparation, and execution.Briggs and Cliff cover why smelling elk is a non-negotiable stop, how elite hunters manage time in the woods, why mindset mathematically affects success, and how rifle hunters should think more like bow hunters. They dive deep into rifle setup, bipod selection, shooting positions, dry fire training, backpack weight discipline, food strategy, and why most hunters quietly sabotage themselves long before they miss a shot.Briggs on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/briggs_pittman/The Fastest Way to Get Good at Elk Hunting.

This episode breaks down how elk actually respond to hunting pressure and why most hunters misunderstand where mature bulls survive once seasons open.Cliff talks with a self-taught elk hunter, Dan Vinson, who learned the hard way, without mentors or shortcuts. The conversation centers on pressure, access, and human behavior, not elevation gain or how far someone is willing to hike. Elk do not disappear when pressure increases. They compress into small, unattractive pockets where hunters walk through but never slow down enough to hunt.The episode also covers bivy hunting, decision-making under uncertainty, and the cost of overcommitting to camps or rigid plans. A detailed solo bull encounter highlights how quickly things unravel after the shot, why blood trails are not guaranteed, and how emotional load compounds when hunting alone.This is a realistic look at elk hunting as it actually happens for most do-it-yourself hunters.Resources from Dan VinsonWild Gym | All Things Rucking: https://www.wildgym.com/Dan's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wilddanvinsonThe Fastest Way to Get Good at Elk Hunting.

In this episode, Ryan and Cliff go deep into the real-world realities of pack animals — goats, llamas, horses, and mules — and why experience, animal behavior, stress, and decision-making matter far more than gear specs or romantic ideas of “backcountry horsepower.”Ryan and Cliff also discuss the drop testing of optics and the myth that most modern rifle scopes hold zero.Ryan's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/avery_adventuresRokslide: https://www.rokslide.com/The Fastest Way to Get Good at Elk Hunting.

What actually separates a professional guide from a good hunter?Cliff and Jay Scott break down how real experience changes judgment. Calm under pressure, controlling variables, and why most missed shots are process failures. Not shooter failures.The Tricer micro-panning device we discuss at the end of the video, Use CLIFFG for 10% off: https://tricer.com/products/tricer-360From there, the discussion moves into distance, animal awareness, and the concept of the “bubble.” Cliff and Jay explain why getting closer is not always better, especially for wary species like Coues deer. Staying outside an animal's awareness buys time, reduces mistakes, and creates higher-probability shots. This is not about extreme distance. It is about efficiency and control.The back half of the episode shifts into gear and optics. They break down real use cases for image-stabilized binoculars and spotting scopes, where they help, where they don't, and why tripods are not going anywhere. The conversation stays grounded in actual field application, not marketing claims.The episode closes on perspective. Experience, restraint, and patience are skills built over decades, not seasons.00:02:00 – Guiding Experience and Perspective00:06:20 – Booking Hunts and Downside Protection00:09:20 – What Makes a Professional Guide00:17:20 – Staying Outside the Animal's Bubble00:38:10 – Managing Age Class Over Antlers00:40:55 – Harvest Limits and Real Results 00:49:40 – Tag Filling and Modern Pressure00:52:00 – Social Media and Validation00:59:20 – Judging Animals With Confidence01:04:20 – Underrated Hunts and Value01:07:40 – Image Stabilized Optics Use Cases01:14:30 – Tripods, Glassing, and Field JudgmentResources from Jay ScottInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayscottoutdoors/?hl=enWebsite: http://jayscottoutdoorspodcast.com/Scoring App: https://hornscore.com/The Fastest Way to Get Good at Elk Hunting.

Chad Ryker talks with Erin Butler (AZ Game & Fish Big Game Program Supervisor) about Arizona's elk and pronghorn draw, how non-residents fit into tag allocation, and how to build a smart application strategy. They cover the 20% max-point pass / 80% random draw structure (meaning low-point hunters still have a real shot), highlight over-the-counter/non-permit elk options, and call out common application mistakes. They finish with deadlines, costs, bonus-point “boosters,” and Point Guard options.Key takeawaysAZ draw structure: 20% of tags go to max bonus point holders; 80% are in a random draw, so “everyone has a chance.”Non-resident cap: Typically 10% of tags per hunt can go to non-residents (with rules that keep some NR tags in the random portion).Low-point reality: Many non-residents who draw have low points; random pass can produce surprise “first-year” winners.OTC elk exists: Arizona has non-permit/over-the-counter elk opportunities (including HAM: handgun/archery/muzzleloader), but they're often tough/low success and require research.Big mistakes to avoid: Applying for hunts you're ineligible for (like single-tag hunts as a NR), picking the wrong weapon/season, and assuming longer seasons = better (sometimes longer = harder).Bonus point boosters: Hunter Ed point (permanent) + Loyalty point (apply 5 years straight; miss a year and it resets).Point Guard: Lets you turn back a tag and keep your points (not your money); Point Guard Plus can also put you on a list for turned-back tags.Costs & timing: Need the non-refundable license, then apply per species; elk/pronghorn apps run mid-January to early February (deadline around Feb 3, 11:59 PM).

In this episode, I sit down with Tim Sundles of Buffalo Bore for a wide-ranging, no-filter conversation that goes where most hunting podcasts won't.We start with elk cartridges and shot placement. Real-world experience killing elk in dark timber, at bad angles, under pressure. We dig into why larger cartridges matter, how bullet construction and penetration actually work, and why “perfect broadside shots” are often a fantasy for serious elk hunters.From there, the conversation expands into wolves, wildlife management, and what Tim has personally witnessed over decades living and hunting in Idaho and the Frank Church. We talk wolf reintroduction, elk and moose population collapse, government agencies, the Forest Service, and how public land management has drifted far from actual land stewardship.Tim and Kim Sundles run a great YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@buffaloboreammoThe Fastest Way to Get Good at Elk Hunting.
