  • The hunting buddies I’ve yet to meet

    I’ve been listening to these fellas ever since I began elk hunting. They’re like the hunting buddies I’ve never met. They have years of experience and freely share it via the podcasts. Their “Adventures“ course is great! I once inquired about the cow elk hunts and Joe and Gilbert BOTH called me to discuss it. Great guys and great podcast!
