EP 543: Are You An Investor Or Gambler When It Comes to Elk? (Repost)

  Elk season is here and with that in mind, we’re bringing you an elk-focused episode from a few years ago with Dylan Eyers of EatWild.   Dylan has decades of experience chasing elk in BC and shares his insights and hard lessons learned from hunting these incredible critters. Due to this being originally recorded in 2021 some references will be dated but, the lessons and tips from Dylan are timeless.  @eatwild  ---------------------------  SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:  Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

On this episode, John Warren shares the lessons learned and insights gained from his recent trip to Molokai to hunt Axis deer.   As a former sniper, John draws heavily on his military experience to find creative ways to build stable shooting positions and make shots that many hunters would have to pass on due to a lack of creativity and/or exposure to non-traditional shooting positions.   @john.warchild 

On this episode, BC resident Kevin Toye is back on the show to discuss elk, mule deer, and whitetail hunting, BC’s dogmatic wildlife management strategies, and how being a weekend warrior can actually make you a better hunter.    @kevinltoye  ---------------------------  SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:  Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!
