In this episode of the Elk Hunt Podcast, Cody Rich sits down with his good friend Brad to discuss their recent elk hunting experiences and dive into some valuable tips and strategies for hunting elk. From calf calling and its effectiveness in high-pressure public lands to navigating the rut and using different techniques to get into prime elk country, Brad shares years of experience and insights that could help any elk hunter elevate their game. They also discuss the importance of terrain, e-scouting, and being prepared for every elk season, as well as sharing stories from the field that any hunter will find relatable and motivational. Tune in for a fun, informative episode packed with knowledge that could change the way you approach your next elk hunt. Time Stamps: 00:00 – Introduction 04:10 – The Importance of Calf Calling and its Effectiveness 10:30 – Using Calf Calls in High-Pressure Public Land Hunts 15:00 – Transitioning from Cow Calls to Estrous Calls and Understanding the Rut 21:20 – Navigating Different Terrain: From Open Country to Thick Timber 30:00 – Midday Elk Hunting: Why It Can Be the Best Time to Hunt 35:00 – Using Natural Sounds and Raking to Get Bulls to Respond 42:00 – The Role of E-Scouting and Real-Time Intel in Premium Units 47:30 – The Power of Experience: Logging Every Hunt 53:30 – Tips for Hunting Premium Units and Learning from At-Bats 1:02:10 – The “One That Got Away” Story 1:08:00 – Wrapping Up and Cody's Takeaways Key Takeaways: The Power of Calf Calling: Brad explains how calf calling, especially in high-pressure public land hunts, can help bring in elk more effectively than traditional cow calling. The relaxed nature of the call makes the elk feel more comfortable and can help hunters get closer to their target. Midday Hunting and the Rut: Hunting elk in the middle of the day can actually be more effective than hunting at dawn or dusk, especially when cows are bedded and bulls start to roam. Using calls to provoke bulls during midday can lead to encounters and increased activity, particularly in premium hunting areas. The Importance of Experience and Learning from Each Hunt: Brad shares his practice of logging every hunt to build a deep understanding of elk behavior, terrain, and hunting conditions over time. By accumulating real-world experience and tracking every variable, hunters can significantly reduce the learning curve and increase their chances of success.

Welcome back to the Soul Summit Podcast – Presented by Her Outdoor Journey and proudly sponsored by Maven Optics, Bakcou E-Bikes, HOYT Archery, onX Maps, and Sawyer Products! Key Takeaways: Amanda Rose, founder of Athena Tactics, shares her mission to empower women through personal protection training. Education and proper training are essential before purchasing a firearm—knowledge builds confidence. Many women face misconceptions about their capability to safely handle firearms, which Amanda works to break down. Developing situational awareness is a foundational skill in personal safety and self-defense. Amanda explains how fear of firearms often stems from a lack of exposure and education, not the tool itself. “Guns are inanimate; people are the variable.” The danger lies in human behavior, not the object. Women can remain feminine and powerful, embracing both style and self-reliance. Training helps women overcome the flinch response, improving accuracy and control at the range. It's crucial to choose a firearm based on personal comfort and individual needs—there is no one-size-fits-all. Amanda emphasizes the value of community and support among women, especially in male-dominated spaces like firearms training.

We need to stop focusing on what the reticle is doing, ignore what it's doing, and get one action completed, which is proper trigger control.”  @moderndaysniper  ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  Get FREE SHIPPING from Spartan Precision Equipment with code BTK25 and be sure to check out their new Springbok line of products.  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

This is a repost of an incredibly important episode we released more than a year ago. If you missed it, or are new to the show, it is worth checking out.  So much time and attention are devoted to the “cool” aspects of backcountry hunting prep. Shooting, gear, physical training, nutrition...the list could go on. But what happens when everything goes sideways, and you're faced with a no BS trauma situation or medical emergency? This episode will help you be prepared in those rare but critical moments.   NOTABLE QUOTES:   “Knowledge is weightless man, and you can take it with you wherever you go.”  @ctomsinc  ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!
