In this episode, I take you through my elk hunt in the rugged wilderness of North Idaho. We dive deep into the unique challenges of hunting in thick forests and mountainous terrain, where understanding elk behavior and mastering the wind and thermals can make or break your hunt. I’ll share how we adapted our strategies on the fly, dealt with the presence of other hunters, and navigated the unpredictable conditions. Expect a few laughs too as I recount some of the more humorous moments from the trip. This one’s all about the highs, the lessons, and the gritty reality of elk hunting in some tough country.
