This week, Tom joins the podcast to drop some knowledge bombs on all of you. Known for his exceptional skill in the mountains, Tom is remarkably consistent at hunting big bulls, even in some of the most challenging areas. This year, Tom spotted a promising bull during the archery season. Instead of risking scaring it away from the canyon, he strategically decided to return later with a rifle. Tom's hunting adventures spanned multiple states this year, including Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado. Alongside his brothers, he navigated new territories and shared his experiences of tracking and hunting bulls in unfamiliar units. In this episode, Tom recounts the story of his personal bull in Idaho. We delve into the tactics he and his brothers employ for hunting big bulls, adapting their strategies to suit different areas. Tom also shares an enthralling tale about a double kicker 7x7 bull that eluded him for several seasons. His stroke of luck came from being in the right place at the right time, finally leading to a successful hunt. Tom's deep understanding of elk behavior sets him apart from most hunters. It's this knowledge that gives him a distinct advantage in the field. Note: Tom is hosting an Elk Hunting Clinic this summer, an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in elk hunting expertise. With only 10 spots available, it's a chance not to be missed. If you're interested, email Tom at
