Talk about a learning experience! Here is a chance to hear from new elk hunters that spent a week learning from a combined 150 plus years of elk hunting knowledge! What were the learning moments?

One of the most critical and most blown aspects of elk hunting... How to react to a bulls response! We have all had it happen to us. We make a decision, give a response and get into our setup. Palms are sweating just waiting for a bull to come crashing in, but everything goes quiet. So we throw out another call to find out where he is and either get a response from another 300 to 400 yards away or even worse... nothing but crickets! On today's episode, the boys cover scenarios, mistakes and misreads that all of us have or will experience at one point in our elk hunting career when it comes to understanding and reacting to a bull’s response. Hopefully what we have learned from our own mistakes will help you have solutions to keep you in the game on your future hunts! Enjoy the show!
