Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Elk

There are no stupid questions. And, hopefully, there are no stupid answers in this Q&A episode of the Hunt Backcountry podcast. Mark, Steve, and Lenny tackle a variety of listener questions. We discuss hunting on public land, what state to choose for your first western hunt, how to deal with other hunters, and more.

Our guest is Arizona hunter and hunting guide, Dan Adler, owner of Diamond Outfitters (AZDiamondOutfitters.com). Dan explains why Arizona has such quality elk, how non-residents can get an opportunity at a tag (as well as some great money-saving tactics!), why he rarely calls elk, and much more.

When it comes to elk hunting, September gets all of the attention. But just because the most vocal and intense action tends to occur during that period, doesn't mean that hunting later in the season — even after the rut — can't be incredibly productive.

Andrew Skurka is an accomplished adventure athlete, speaker, guide, writer... and hunter. Andrew provides us with some excellent information on how to take your backpacking to the next level. We discuss gear, food, and more — including many do-it-yourself alternatives to what the market offers.
