    Cliff communicates his ideas clearly making it easy to apply the concepts in the field with immediate positive effect. Cliff’s highly intelligent and loves the outdoor world. He’s the Jon Danaher of the hunting world. I have learned a ton, and enjoy listening to his podcast.

  • Great Information

    Great content, I always look forward to the next episode to learn more.

    One thing I’d like to see addressed, a lot of the guests you have on, their sound level is significantly different to yours. I’m not super technical but if your sound levels were closer to each other that would be a great improvement.

    Thanks for putting these out there.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tahr or Elk? - Hunting NZ vs. Hunting The West
Q: How does over-the-counter hunting in Colorado compare to hunting tar in New Zealand? Is it harder or easier?
New Zealand hunting is harder in some ways due to rugged terrain and climate, but easier in terms of year-round access and fewer regulatory hurdles for some activities; success heavily depends on choosing the right spots and maintaining high fitness.
Tahr or Elk? - Hunting NZ vs. Hunting The West
Q: What does the opportunity look like now, Jurgen? Is the hay day gone for some of these species? Or is it still great hunting for all the species?
It's probably as good as it's ever been for international hunters, with the caveat that success depends on fitness, location, and timing, especially for tar and shammy when weather and access can change quickly.
Hunting Colorado in 2026 - Draw Details and Current Winter Conditions
Q: What impact will the 2028 tag allocation change have on current hunting plans?
Expect more point creep and some hunters shifting to lower-point units to secure tags, while overall opportunity remains in various units; planning will be less predictable than in the old system.
Get Good at Elk Hunting Colorado Wilderness FAST - Briggs Pittman
Q: What about those situations where hunters have been fatigued and are losing focus or losing the psychological edge?
You simply cannot make the decision to skip a morning or evening hunt; you have to stay out there and remain positive.
Get Good at Elk Hunting Colorado Wilderness FAST - Briggs Pittman
Q: What do you think the chances are that you're going to kill a bull?
I would say 100 percent because my whole preparation for the year is to be out in the woods those five days and you have to implement your mindset of dominance.
