    School of September with Dirk "The Bugler" Durham

    Well here we are! The final School of September episode of 2024! One of my favorite people, also a listener favorite, we close out this SOS season with none other than Dirk Durham. A man who needs little introduction, a dude that every hunter can learn from, and a guy I'm proud to call a friend.  In this episode, Dirk and I dive into some "out-of-the-box" type calling techniques that can make a big difference on uncooperative bulls and bulls that get hung up out of range. Don't miss this episode! May your arrows hit their mark, good luck this September friends! Dirk on Instagram Show Sponsors!

    School of September with Mike Edgehouse

    Return guest, Mike Edgehouse, is a professor of anatomy and biology at Lewis Clark College, hunter, meat expert, mobile butcher, and founder of the Cutrite Mobile App that should live on every hunters phone.  In this episode, Mike and I talk about all the things that happen AFTER you've notched a tag on an elk. You School of September Scholars have a higher chance of putting an elk on the ground, so I thought it prudent to continue the discussion on how to get the most out of your kill. From meat care to butchering to recipes, we go all in on this episode from perhaps one of the most passionate wild game meat experts I've ever had the pleasure to call a friend.  DO NOT make the mistake of not getting the Cutrite Mobile App. It will walk you through all the steps to honor your kill and pack your freezer with the healthiest meat on the planet.

    School of September with Bradley Dammerman

    Bradley Dammerman is the owner/operator of Idaho Whitetail Guides and one hell of an American hunter.  In this episode, Bradley and I dive into early to late season elk calling. Bradley describes a unique calling technique with an elk shed you have to listen to. We go from week one September into mid-October calling. Elk ebb and flow with the season, Bradley drops some serious take-aways from his years as a guide that you will surely want to stow away in that knowledge toolbox.  Bradley is, simply put, one helluva human that puts his money where his mouth is. I really enjoy having him on the show. Every hunter out there could benefit from his years of experience and humble nature, don't miss this one folks.  Bradley on Instagram Bradley's website Show Sponsors!
