EP 183: Elk Hunting "What-Ifs?" (Part 2)
What if the elk were screaming yesterday and the same spot is crickets today? What if you are seeing tons of sign and smelling elk, but not getting any responses? What if elk are only responding after dark? What if you had to limit yourself to 5 items in your pack. What would they be? What if your diaphragm call gets stretched and sounds horrible and you are 3 miles from camp? When it comes to being ready to act in a situation, a person falls to the level of their training or preparation. And when it comes to elk hunting, there are so many different situations, variables or "What-ifs" to prepare for. So y'all... It's PART 2!
On today's Episode of Blue Collar Elk Hunting the crew continues to go through a whole slew of "What-if" questions that just might be exactly what you are wondering or even something you never thought about, but might experience on your next hunt. There is no better teacher than experience. Especially when it's someone else's lessons or failures that you get to learn from! Enjoy the show!

EP 181: Elk Hunting "What-Ifs?" (Part 1)
What if you bump an elk or small herd? What if you have cow elk between you and a target bull 200 yards off and losing daylight? What if a bull is bugling a lot on his own...Do I call? What if it’s day 6 of a 10 day difficult hunt and you’re already getting homesick? What if your shooter moves off in a calling set-up and you don’t know where they are? When it comes to being ready to act in a situation, a person falls to the level of their training or preparation. And when it comes to elk hunting, there are so many different situations, variables or "What-ifs" to prepare for. So y'all... let's get after it!
On today's Episode of Blue Collar Elk Hunting the crew begins to go through a whole slew of "What-if" questions that just might be exactly what you are wondering or even something you never thought about, but might experience on your next hunt. There is no better teacher than experience. Especially when it's someone else's lessons or failures that you get to learn from! Enjoy the show!

Customer Reviews
Best Season Ever
I have been elk hunting for years. I have learned more from your podcasts and Base Camp than all the years of hunting. Thank you to Travis on his explanation of using a diaphragm call. I used your low key calling tech on the last bull I called in for my new partner. Racking and soft cow calls. Thanks again for a great episode.
Review
Definitely some great content. As sitting here listening to every episode I am now caught up and starting to plan my hunt now. I plan on joining the academy to further my knowledge of the hunt
Awesome podcast
Hey Elk Bros, Jim Coyle (wyelkhunter) here. Ok, I’m calling you out. Finally hear a top city that’s in my backyard, and I would have thought the Venezuelan Mafia had their fingers in it. Dubois WY. It’s pronounced Doo Boyc. LOL! Gotta have some fun with you all! I did get caught up on podcasts though. A podcast that’s keeps me coming back!
