    Lampers Poaching Charges + Mid-September Colorado Elk & Bear Update

    First half: my take on the Ryan Lampers situation—innocent until proven guilty—and the bigger pattern I’ve seen for decades in guiding: economic incentives, ego, and the short-game mindset that pushes people into bad decisions. Play the long game. Be transparent. If you wouldn’t do it with a drone over your shoulder, don’t do it. Second half: Colorado updates from the last 10–12 days. Elk are generally lower and around water; bugling where densities are decent. Archery conditions look good until pressure kicks them around. Bears were tough: chokecherry/serviceberry largely dropped or dried on sun-exposed slopes. Best action was near private borders with water and acorns, or go high-alpine if you can’t access those edges. If this helps, subscribe on YouTube/Spotify/Apple. More bear-defense content coming soon.

    What Actually Helps? - Elk Hunting Seminars, Online Courses and DIY Hunt Experience with Jim Bortz

    Elk hunting isn’t just about gear—it’s about fitness, mental toughness, and knowing when to push. In this episode, I sit down with Jim Bortz, a wildlife artist and lifelong hunter who transitioned from whitetails to chasing bulls in Wyoming. We dig into the realities of elk hunting: fitness that actually matters, the urge to quit (and how to overcome it), solo hunting challenges, and what courses really move the needle. Jim has participated in my courses, courses with Ryan Lampers, Elk 101, training with Joel Turner and many other options out there. We talk about what has worked for him.

    Bear Defense Holsters And Pistols - Chest Harness vs Belt vs Bino Harness

    In this episode I sit down with Tim Anderson, founder of Invader Concepts, the holster company behind the chest rig I wear. We dig into the real pros and cons of carrying a pistol in the mountains—under your bino harness, attached to the harness, on your pack belt, or on your hip. We also dive deep into the cartridge debate for bear defense: revolvers vs semi-autos, capacity vs stopping power, and why 10mm has become the dominant choice. Tim shares insights from thousands of customers and his own experience as both a shooter and entrepreneur. We also cover the challenges of making gear in the U.S., why Invader Concepts has stuck to American-made production, and how Tim built the company from scratch in his garage. Whether you’re hunting elk in grizzly country, backpacking in remote wilderness, or just want to understand your options for backcountry pistol carry, this conversation will clear up a lot of myths.

    Calling Doesn't Kill Bulls - Calling Setups Do!

    Most hunters obsess over bugles, cow calls, and making the “perfect sound.” The truth? None of that matters if your setup is wrong. In this episode, I break down the single most overlooked factor in archery elk hunting—the setup.  I cover why setups matter more than calling, how bulls actually “see with their ears,” and why closing the distance before you ever touch a call is what doubles or triples your odds of success. You’ll hear about the mistakes I see over and over again in the elk woods, the psychological trap of being afraid to bump elk, and the universal truths about how bulls approach a calling scenario.  Whether you’re hunting solo or with a partner, these principles will change how you think about elk hunting and get you closer to consistent success.  For a deeper dive, check out my full elk hunting course at https://pursuitwithcliff.com/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.
