What ACTUALLY Makes Great HUNTING PARTNERS Mar 01, 2024

Show notes

There is a ton of misinformation out there about what makes elk and deer hunting partners and hunting groups compatible. It isn't matching physical capabilities or hunting styles that make the difference. In this video I cover the REALITY of what matters in elk camp.
I dealt with this dynamic for years as a guide and outfitter. The four things I discuss in this video were the primary drivers making a hunting group more effective harvesting animals due to their relationship. I saw a lot of partners and groups ignore these metrics. They were worse hunters because of it. Many of them left the mountains hating each other.

Have Joe Rogan and Cam Hanes RUINED ELK HUNTING? Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

There is no question that Joe Rogan and Cam Hanes have changed the world of elk hunting. Every year more people enjoy the pursuit of hunting elk, particularly archery elk hunting, because they were introduced to it from Joe's podcast or Cam's social media. Recently, there has been some momentum around the idea that this increase in popularity is a net negative to the hunting world. Are Joe and Cam creating more harm than good?
There are winners and losers, as there is with all changes, but in this video I use an analogy to explain how I answer some of these questions.
