I learned so much on this hunt. And full disclosure, I took this elk with a rifle. So if you're a purist bowhunter, maybe this episode isn't for you. However, for new bowhunters, there is a ton of learnings I gained from this hunt that I share in this episode. Yes, 95% of the time I'm bowhunting but I saw this late season rifle elk hunt and had to go for it, which resulted in a kill and harvest. For me, I'm a pretty sucky elk hunter and so this hunt meant a ton to share it with my son and be able to bring home meat to fill the freezer.  When we talk about being good at archery and being a good hunter, this hunt taught me to be a better hunter. And in the process, I was able to fill the freezer and share the experience with my son.  In gear I trust:  Magnum deer/elk sleigh Warthog knife sharpener Badlands MRK6 Hunting Backpack Outdoor Edge Knife Set Foodsaver Vacuum Sealer
