Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Elk

Can you...should you...and how do you HUNT ELK SOLO? We answer these questions with Will Meyers (@id_archeryhunts) on this episode. We cover the tactics, strategies, and logistics you need to know when it comes to hunting elk on your own.

Want to ruin your next hunt? Of course you don't! Especially if it is a special tag that you have been waiting for years to draw. A limited tag like that is something our guest for this episode, Josh Roy, drew and had the opportunity to use on a bull elk in Utah.

We are glad to have Ryan Lampers join us again on the podcast. This conversation with Ryan covers quite a few topics, including why most new elk hunters struggle to find success, how to effectively stalk high country mule deer, and what gear truly helps him hunt more effectively, and so much more.

After being a self-proclaimed "bow hiker" for 5 years, our guest filled his first archery elk tag. What made the difference? What can you learn from his story to help you spend less time as a "bow hiker" and increase your odds at filling more tags?
