Steve & Mark answer your listener questions about hunting solo elk with decoys, adding DWR treatment to help waterproof packs, why they have recommended Kowa spotting scopes but no Kowa binos, and when weight and space-saving strategies can go too far.

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.

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.

Corey Jacobsen joins us to answer your listener questions (and ours) about finding, calling, and killing elk. We cover elk call selection, how to find elk in dark timber, how to "seal the deal" on bulls in bow-range, and more.
