About this episode
Dan sits down for a full, unfiltered debrief of his 2025 elk season — every win, every mistake, and every hard-earned lesson from weeks in the mountains. This episode is a raw, day-by-day breakdown of what went right, what went wrong, and what he’ll do differently next year. From close encounters and blown stalks to pack-outs, weather, mindset, and the grind that defines September — it’s all here. If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on behind the camera, this is Dan’s most transparent recap yet. Whether you tagged out or came home empty-handed, this one’s for every hunter who gives everything for the mountain. Tune in, take notes, and start preparing for next year — because the slate’s already been wiped clean. You haven’t killed an elk in 2026. 💢 Discount Codes 💢 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE VORTEX WEAR | 20% Off Code: elkshape BLACK OVIS | 10% Off Code: elkshape SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: elkshape onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: elkshape Basekamp Quarter Pad | 10% Off Code: elkshape CrossOver Symmetry | 20% Off Code: elkshape Stealth Cam | 20% Off Code (non-cellular): ELKSHAPE20 MAGVIEW | 10% Off Code: elkshape MY MEDIC | 10% Off Code: elkshape DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ELKSHAPE GORUCK | LINK TO SHOP BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE20 🚨Video Production🚨 A CAM - SONY A1 BODY B CAM - SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS SONY LONG LENS 70-200MM WIRELESS DJI MIC 2 STUDIO LENS 24-70MM DJI DRONE DJI ACTION 4 Learn more about your ad choices.
