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. This series is designed for you to hear real stories from folks just like you. You'll hear all the decisions, the ups, the downs and outcomes of a 2021 Western elk hunt. Each in itself a learning moment towards the final day. Was the hunt a success? Well, y'all... pull up a chair and just find out!Hope you enjoy the episode!SUBSCRIBE / RATE / REVIEW - Please let us know how we are doing!Looking for an Elk Hunting Partner?

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 quietSelecting the time of day we hunt. When we startFrequency and use of calls, scenarios. Reacting to a responseMoving to make a shot opportunity happenDrawing or get in rifle position Deciding on hunt areasSUBSCRIBE / RATE / REVIEWLooking 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 can find the Don't Be Mediocre podcast on iTunes, Stitcher or your favorite podcast listening app.Looking for an Elk Hunting Partner?

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.

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.

So many elk hunting opportunities are blown by those things, behaviors and events that are out of our control. Or are they? From how an elk reacts or behaves in a given situation or set-up, to other hunters, the weather, the conditions, moon phase or other reasons. But what if we told you that those things are not as uncontrollable as most people think? On todays episode, you get a chance to first to meet the newest addition to the ElkBros Coaching Staff. From there,  your coaches talk about what makes a situation "uncontrollable" and how you can develop options to be in more control than you think. They also give up visual examples, that you can view on their YouTube Channel, of controlling the uncontrollable during a 3 man setup.

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.

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.
