In this Episode of the "Reaching Your Peak" mini-series, (Episode #7), we have another story/lesson from Corey Jacobsen. This week, Corey shares the story of an elk encounter – a most-unexpected elk encounter – while archery hunting for elk in Idaho in 2008. His hunting partner, Donnie, had forgotten a key piece of elk hunting equipment back at the truck on that particular morning, so Corey offered his gear to Donnie, leaving him quite unprepared for what happens next. But that’s not the lesson shared in this story. While remembering critical gear is always an important part of any hunt, the lesson learned on this hunt goes much deeper. And Corey tackles the topic, head-on. “Reaching Your Peak” will be published every other week, to fill in the gap between regular ElkTalk Podcast episodes, from now until the first part of October. In this new mini-series, Corey will be sharing stories from his past elk hunts, and then detailing a strategy or tactic that was instrumental in the success of that hunt.
