    Wounded Bulls, Reflections and Lessons - Guiding The First Week of Archery

    I guided an archery elk hunt last week and it had everything. A shooter bull at 25 yards on the first night that didn't work out. Slow days where bulls ignored every call. A last-night shot under 20 yards on a bull that was found three days later, 1,300 yards away, with a bear on top of him. This is an uncut coffee with Cliff recap. We get into early rut bull behavior in the first half of September, why you need to practice shooting from the edges of your setup radius, and how one blown opportunity can wreck the rest of a hunt if you let it. Then the hard part: how my own brain convinced me I was looking at fletchings when it was the broadhead on the exit, tracking a single lung bull in flat country, and why rutting bulls push wounded bulls farther than you'd expect. In this episode: Early rut behavior: spikes acting like herd bulls, big bulls roaming solo Why your hunter couldn't draw on a bull at 25 yards (and the fix) Resetting after a blown opportunity so it doesn't plague your hunt Why guides are hesitant to celebrate any archery hit Losing blood in flat terrain, and when to back out overnight How angles and bone shrink elk vitals --- FOLLOW CLIFF YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGray Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliff Pursuit With Cliff Podcast https://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/ Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership  https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/ Hunt.

    3 Reasons Hunters QUIT Backcountry Hunts EARLY

    Most guys don't quit a backcountry hunt because the area sucked. They quit because they're in a calorie deficit, they haven't slept, and they blew their anaerobic tank on day one. After decades of guiding, outfitting, and packing hunters into wilderness areas, this is the physiology behind the urge to quit and the three prescriptions that fix it. In this episode: Why the first two to three days are learning days, and why quitting at 50% means giving up 80–90% of your real opportunity The 72-hour wall: how appetite decline at altitude drives muscle glycogen and cerebral glucose down at the same time The daily calorie bag system. 3,500–4,000 calories, and the discipline mechanism that makes you actually eat them How sleep loss collapses your dopamine receptors and kills your motivation to hunt Why an ultralight sleep system on a non-ultralight hunt is a mistake, plus hydration timing and the pee bottle Aerobic vs. anaerobic pace, and why I'd take five hours on a stalk I could do in forty-five minutes   --- FOLLOW CLIFF YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGray Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliff Pursuit With Cliff Podcast https://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/ Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership  https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/ Hunt.

    Why I LEFT MY ELK CALLS in the Truck — Spot and Stalk with Brian Barney

    Brian Barney has been hunting elk on Montana public land for 25 years. He's called in over 100 bulls. Yet, years ago he left his elk calls in the truck and never looked back. This conversation is about the spot and stalk system Brian has built that kills a quality six-point bull nearly every season on OTC public land. We cover how he made the transition from calling to full commitment to spot and stalk, what he calls "coyoting the herd" or shadowing, staying 100 to 300 yards back, taking what the elk give you, and looking for the chink in the armor. We get into cutting elk off rather than chasing them, why he hunts elk almost exclusively on their feet, the swirly wind problem, and how to see elk before they see you. We close on mental toughness... what it actually looks like when your brain starts justifying quitting, how Brian recognizes it, and why he says his most fun moments are when he's the most beat down. In this episode: Why Brian left his elk calls in the truck and why committing fully changed everything Shadowing the herd. 100 to 300 yards back, finding the chink in the armor Cutting elk off: getting in front of the herd instead of chasing the back of it Why he hunts elk on their feet and leaves bedded bulls alone until evening Swirling wind, the pocket that kept busting him and how he finally outsmarted it Seeing elk before they see you. The underappreciated skill that makes or breaks a stalk The mental toughness section: how your brain justifies quitting without you realizing it Guest: Brian Barney  Podcasts: Eastman's Elevated (11 years, weekly) and Eastman's Life of a Bow Hunter.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brian__barney  --- FOLLOW CLIFF YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGray Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliff Pursuit With Cliff Podcast https://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/ Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership  https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/ Hunt.

    The EASIEST Way to Call Elk — No Diaphragm Required

    Most elk hunters are either struggling with their diaphragm or over-relying on it. Cliff and Jim break down three non-vocal sounds that are easy to make, highly realistic, and will set you apart from every other caller in the woods. The three sounds: raking (the easiest elk call anyone can learn in five minutes), huffing (what close-range bulls do constantly that almost no one imitates), and glunking (the weird one that most hunters don't even know elk make). Jim and Cliff demonstrate each one and break down exactly how to produce it in the field. In this video: Raking — how to do it, what to rake on, and why it's deadly early season when bulls aren't vocalizing Huffing — breathing hard through your tube, what it sounds like, and when to use it Glunking — why rhythm matters more than tone, and the hand technique that adds resonance Why these sounds work on high-pressure public land where bugles call in hunters.

    The TRUTH After 26 Years Guiding Archery Elk Hunters - James Nash

    James Nash is back, and this one is all elk. We get into why calling is the most overused tool in the elk woods, why your setup is doing 99% of the work, and how to think about wind, scent, and terrain from the bull's side of the equation instead of your own. 00:00 The patience game 00:52 Africa film and honest footage 04:52 99 peanuts on setup 06:49 Calling is just a nudge 11:42 Wind before everything else 15:59 The downwind myth 24:23 What's in it for the bull 28:18 Buttonhook and straggler bulls 34:52 Building the archery setup 42:30 The deaf hunter's advantage 47:21 The $100 calling budget Guest: James Nash — 6 Ranch Outfitters. https://www.instagram.com/6ranchoutfitters/   --- FOLLOW CLIFF YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGray Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliff Pursuit With Cliff Podcast https://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/ Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership  https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/ Hunt.

    The Nuances Most Elk Hunters NEVER Figure Out

    Three of us sat down after four days in the field. Cade, Cliff and Ryan (a student who just came off the elk class) and got into the small stuff that actually separates hunters who kill from hunters who don't. Not tactics you can read in an article. The judgment calls. When to move fast, when to sit down and wait, how much country you're actually willing to cross, and how much of your own hunting style you should be fighting versus leaning into. Ryan's primarily an archer with real backcountry experience and that's most of what makes this one worth listening to. Two guys who've spent careers guiding, one guy who hunts the way most of you hunt, working through the same problems from three different angles. Schedule for next year's classes: https://pursuitwithcliff.com/elk-hunting-master-class/ In this episode: Why roughly 70% of the elk I kill guiding come from long, ugly stalks not from camp The outfitter bubble, the trailhead bubble, and the huge unhunted country in between How archers wreck their own odds by tunnel-visioning on bugling instead of glassing Spot-and-stalking a bedded bull, and why almost nobody has it in their toolkit Why nearly every student skips ranging and marking the animal before the stalk Style-based hunting: why we don't tell a fast hunter to slow down The honest math.

    Trained 40 Elk Hunters - What I learned

    Over the last two months I put 40 hunters through live elk training in the field. Not lectures. Real stalks, real glassing, real archery setups that run two or three hours. The same three failures showed up over and over, and every one of them traces back to the flood of content hunters are drowning in right now. This isn't an anti-content rant. There are hundreds of skill videos on this channel and you need that baseline. The problem is what happens when guys try to apply every framework at once: analysis paralysis, decision fatigue. I break down handicapping your options instead of hunting a flowchart, why inaction is almost always the worst probability you can pick, how to actually mark an animal with OnX, landmarks, and terrain reading before you commit to a stalk, and why proximity (not calling sequences) is the dominant factor in archery elk. --- FOLLOW CLIFF YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGray Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliff Pursuit With Cliff Podcast https://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/ Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership  https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/ Hunt.

    Should I Feel BAD About Shooting an ELEPHANT? - With Corey Knowlton

    I sit down with Corey Knowlton, one of the most experienced international hunters alive, to talk elephant hunting, North American hunting and double rifles. From there we dig into the Jim Shockey era of hunting TV, why North American trophy hunting opportunity is never coming back, and why a $30,000 archery elk hunt makes almost no sense when you look at what that money buys in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, or Tanzania. In this episode: Why it's easy to win the elephant argument logically — and impossible emotionally The Jim Shockey years: how those shows actually got made Elephant overpopulation and why management has to happen How to plan an elephant hunt: heat, full moons, tracks, and judging old bulls Double rifles vs. bolt actions — and why the front trigger comes first Why hunters will end hunting themselves, not anti-hunters --- FOLLOW CLIFF YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGray Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliff Pursuit With Cliff Podcast https://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/ Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership  https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/ Hunt.
