ELKSHAPE PODCAST - TOWSON JENKINS Jun 24, 2026

Today on the ElkShape Podcast, Dan sits down with his good friend Towson Jenkins from Wyoming—a bowhunter who quietly and consistently gets it done year after year on western big game. While his success in the mountains speaks for itself, what stands out even more is who Towson is when the tags are put away: a man of deep faith, a devoted husband, and the proud father of three beautiful daughters.

In this conversation, Towson shares the journey that changed his shooting forever as he opens up about overcoming target panic, rebuilding his shot process, and finding a new level of confidence behind the bow. Whether you've battled target panic yourself or simply want to become a more consistent archer, there's a lot to learn from his experience.

The conversation goes well beyond archery. Towson explains why he made a major career shift to prioritize being more present for his family, what it means to pursue success without sacrificing what matters most, and how his faith continues to shape every decision he makes.

To wrap things up, Towson talks about his ambitious goal of stepping into the professional ranks of target archery while continuing to chase western big game. It's an honest conversation about excellence, discipline, faith, family, and the relentless pursuit of improvement—both on the range and in life.

Topics covered:

Conquering target panic

Building a repeatable shot process

Consistent success in western bowhunting

Faith, marriage, and fatherhood

Making career decisions that prioritize family

Training for professional target archery

Lessons that apply to every bowhunter

If you enjoy conversations that go deeper than gear and tactics, this episode is for you.

Getting Ripped Off By CHINA... ANKR-POINT Jun 21, 2026

Today Dan is joined by Dave and Logan from ANKR-POINT to discuss their innovative new product, the challenges of building a brand in today's digital marketplace, and a growing problem that is impacting businesses across countless industries: counterfeit products and online piracy. The guys pull back the curtain on how overseas copycat companies are ripping off ANKR-POINT's products, branding, photos, videos, and marketing content to create convincing fake websites and advertisements. These counterfeit operations spend thousands of dollars promoting knockoff versions that look legitimate but are often built with inferior materials, fail to meet specifications, take weeks or months longer to arrive, and leave customers frustrated after being scammed. Dave and Logan share the real-world impact these fraudulent businesses have on small companies, customer trust, and innovation. They discuss the uphill battle of reporting fake websites, removing deceptive ads, and protecting intellectual property in a world where counterfeiters can seemingly reappear overnight. This episode is a fascinating look at the unseen challenges entrepreneurs face when bringing products to market and a reminder for consumers to do their homework before clicking "buy." While the conversation centers around ANKR-POINT's experience, the issue reaches far beyond the hunting industry and affects brands of every size. The guys remain hopeful that increased awareness, stronger enforcement, and industry-wide action can help curb the problem in the future. https://elkshape.com/products/ankr-point%E2%84%A2-bow-retention-system?_pos=1&_psq=ANK&_ss=e&_v=1.0 💢 Discount Codes 💢 INITIAL ASCENT - 5% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE PODIUMARCHER.COM 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE https://www.podiumarcher.com/collections/all-products-1 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://glnk.io/p9vpq/21r PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.peaxequipment.com/ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://canvascutter.com/ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://wildernessathlete.com/ SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/SheepFeet onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/ONXHUNT OLLIN | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://ollin.co/collections/snapshot DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/3P5x3BY BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE20 - https://blackriflecoffeecompany.pxf.io/9LnW0E FOUNDATION OURDOORS | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://www.foundation-outdoors.com/?sca_ref=10392320.yNY8hl6qQLCpq TRICER GEAR | 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE ============================= 📱 Subscribe and Listen to the The ElkShape Podcast HERE: ============================= Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/elkshape/id1315352438 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3EplB7OPWM5HcsT2c0HzEv ============================= This Video was Filmed Using: ============================= AMAZON STORE 👉 https://www.amazon.com/shop/elkshape?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_X57159T6BSR8HN6Z3T3W A CAM - SONY A1 BODY ➡️ https://amzn.to/3wLZLBW B CAM - SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS ➡️ https://amzn.to/3InUGST SONY LONG LENS 70-200MM ➡️ https://amzn.to/433SXLW WIRELESS DJI MIC 2 ➡️ https://amzn.to/3uYPku5 STUDIO LENS 24-70MM ➡️ https://amzn.to/3PbhZD8 DJI DRONE ➡️ https://amzn.to/3TqrAZo DJI ACTION 4 ➡️ https://amzn.to/49FDPXA HEADPHONES ➡️ https://amzn.to/4bwRa6c ============================= We are selling hard work!

This TECH Will Improve Your Elk Calling and it's FREE Jun 17, 2026

Today Dan sits down with Ryan from CallemCloseApp.com — a fellow North Idaho elk hunter who created a FREE online tool designed to help hunters build better elk sounds and gain confidence behind a diaphragm call. Let’s face it… learning to run a mouth call can be downright frustrating. Even seasoned elk hunters struggle with consistency, realistic emotion and creating sounds that actually fool bulls in the mountains. Ryan breaks down how his app coaches hunters through sound creation, timing and repetition to shorten the learning curve and help more hunters become effective callers. The fellas also dive into Ryan’s unbelievable story of arrowing a bull on the very first day he ever elk hunted, what he learned from that experience and why he became obsessed with helping others communicate more effectively with elk. If you’ve ever wanted to sound more realistic, gain confidence calling in high-pressure situations or simply avoid bad habits before September, this episode is packed with practical advice and elk hunting insight. 💢 Discount Codes 💢 INITIAL ASCENT - 5% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE PODIUMARCHER.COM 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE https://www.podiumarcher.com/collections/all-products-1 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://glnk.io/p9vpq/21r PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.peaxequipment.com/ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://canvascutter.com/ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://wildernessathlete.com/ SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/SheepFeet onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/ONXHUNT OLLIN | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://ollin.co/collections/snapshot DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/3P5x3BY BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE20 - https://blackriflecoffeecompany.pxf.io/9LnW0E FOUNDATION OURDOORS | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://www.foundation-outdoors.com/?sca_ref=10392320.yNY8hl6qQLCpq TRICER GEAR | 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE ============================= 📱 Subscribe and Listen to the The ElkShape Podcast HERE: ============================= Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/elkshape/id1315352438 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3EplB7OPWM5HcsT2c0HzEv ============================= This Video was Filmed Using: ============================= AMAZON STORE 👉 https://www.amazon.com/shop/elkshape?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_X57159T6BSR8HN6Z3T3W A CAM - SONY A1 BODY ➡️ https://amzn.to/3wLZLBW B CAM - SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS ➡️ https://amzn.to/3InUGST SONY LONG LENS 70-200MM ➡️ https://amzn.to/433SXLW WIRELESS DJI MIC 2 ➡️ https://amzn.to/3uYPku5 STUDIO LENS 24-70MM ➡️ https://amzn.to/3PbhZD8 DJI DRONE ➡️ https://amzn.to/3TqrAZo DJI ACTION 4 ➡️ https://amzn.to/49FDPXA HEADPHONES ➡️ https://amzn.to/4bwRa6c ============================= We are selling hard work!

Elk Don't EXIST with Dillon Deitz Jun 03, 2026

Today on the "Elk Don't Exist" podcast, we’re sitting down with Dylan Deitz to hear the story behind the brand and the road that brought him here. Not long ago, Dylan was battling severe mental health struggles and thoughts of ending it all. Through therapy, purpose, and a complete shift in direction, he’s rebuilt his life through digital content creation, hunting, and introducing new hunters to the outdoors for the very first time.
This episode goes deep. Dylan shares unbelievable spring bear hunting stories, predator calling encounters, and one of the most intense moments imaginable — a near-fatal encounter with a Montana wolf that still has him emotional while retelling it. It’s raw, honest, and a reminder that sometimes the outdoors can help pull people out of some very dark places.
Dylan is the real deal, and I can’t wait for you all to get to know him better. Be sure to check out his new YouTube series below and show him some support.
