Whether you're heading out for your first elk hunt or looking to sharpen your system before the season opens, this episode is your go-to guide.
Dan and Riley are joined by Josh Crawford of ElkShape Training to dive deep into all things elk hunting—from tactics to terrain, and scouting to pack-outs.
We break down:
• Solo vs. partner hunting tactics – and when to use each
• How to scout effectively and locate elk consistently
• Tips on camp setup, choosing a location, and staying mobile
• Meat care in the field – especially when you're deep and far from the truck
• Where to find elk, what sign to look for, and how to adapt when the plan falls apart
This episode covers the foundations of elk hunting with no fluff—just straight-up, field-tested advice from guys who live it every fall.
If you're serious about being prepared for the backcountry, this is one you’ll want to bookmark and replay.
