Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Elk

In this episode we speak with Zak, who is an adult-onset hunter from the east coast that is headed to Montana for a deer and elk combination hunt in Montana this fall. We discuss Zak's planning process for this hunt, how his family is helping him in this journey, the questions he has for us, his new 7mm PRC, and more.

In this podcast we speak with Matt and Steve, who are from Kansas and are going to Colorado to hunt elk for the first time. We discuss how they have planned this hunt, the questions they have, what gear they will be using, how their experience hunting in the midwest may help them on this western hunt, and more.

In this first episode of the new Backpack Hunt Breakdown series of the Hunt Backcountry Podcast, Mark & Steve breakdown Steve's solo elk hunt from this past fall. There are always challenges on a solo elk hunt, but the conditions that Steve faced on this particular hunt presented even more variables to contend with.

If you hunt elk with a partner, the success of your hunt will be influenced by your ability to work well as a team. And communication is the key to working well together. But how do you communicate when you can't speak leading up to, or during, an encounter with elk? This podcast will answer that question.
