211. 5 Year Western Huntsman Anniversary with Dirk Durham

Holy cow! I can't believe it's been 5 stinking years! 

This episode is presented ad free and with my friend and presonal favorite, Dirk Durham of Phelps Game Calls. We talk elk, calls, how seasons can differ year to year, bugling bulls, elusive whitetail, and celebrate The Western Huntsman's fifth year on the air! 

Dirk was the very first guest on this show, he was kind enough to join me this week as a tribute to the anniversary of a show I never dreamed would become what it is now. I appreciate him, all the other guests, the listeners, Eastmans Hunting, and the sponsors that have all combined to make this podcast a success. Thank you ALL!
