  • Great podcast

    Just found Cody Rich this past elk season and have been hammering pretty much every podcast he has available. Not only is he very informative, but it's a great tool to find other elk hunters that are loaded with hunting knowledge and others that are just getting started out as well. Can't get enough.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The October Advantage: Big Bulls, Empty Mountains, and a 58-Inch Giant, Talking Bulls with Gibson Butler
Q: I feel like you hunt pretty open country. This could be an open country question, but it could be an any out hunting question. What is the one thing people suck at or screw up?
The guest stresses that most people underestimate elk densities and must drastically adjust tactics when facing low-density populations, often failing to adapt their calling and glassing approach to spaced-out herds.
Building Maps for Hunters: Jeremy Gilbertson on Bridger Watch & Elk Hunting
Q: How have you learned about the elk and the land through guiding?
Guiding has taught me how elk behave under pressure and helps develop strategies based on herd dynamics.
Building Maps for Hunters: Jeremy Gilbertson on Bridger Watch & Elk Hunting
Q: What do you think makes a great elk hunter?
A mix of experiences between learning how to find elk in tough units and succeeding in easy units to understand their behavior better.
Building Maps for Hunters: Jeremy Gilbertson on Bridger Watch & Elk Hunting
Q: What advice would you give yourself going into that first time, looking back?
Get a better truck and bring buddies for a pack out, but also be patient and execute when the opportunity is there.
16 Days Solo: How Lydia Smith Hunted Down Idaho's 'Growler Bull
Q: Are you nervous being alone while hunting?
