In this episode, Dan and Riley recap their recent multi-state elk scouting trip that was all about long-term strategy, boots-on-the-ground intel, and putting in the work now to increase success later.
They break down:
🧭 How to build a smart e-scouting plan before you ever leave home
🥾 What to look for during in-person scouting (sign, pressure, access, water, and more)
📍 Why some of the best places to scout aren’t for this year — but for future seasons
🧠 How to combine mapping tools, trail cams, and instinct to refine your elk game plan
Whether you're a first-time public land elk hunter or a seasoned bowhunter dialing in your preseason prep, this episode gives you a step-by-step breakdown of how to scout efficiently and effectively.
