About this episode
This week, I’m joined by Young Jaden as we dive deep into the art and strategy of getting elk tags. Together, we nerd out on how to select the best areas and units, what to prioritize, and some of the key details hunters often overlook. We also tackle the shift in elk hunting strategy and why the "5-year plan" for tags is quickly becoming outdated. With major changes happening in OTC (Over-The-Counter) states, we explore how these adjustments will impact hunters who want a tag every year. In this episode, we break down: Best states and hunts for maximizing "at-bats" and annual opportunities, Dream hunt states and strategies for planning bucket-list hunts, and How evolving tag systems will shape the future of elk hunting. It’s a fun, informative, and enlightening conversation perfect for anyone looking to up their game and develop a 201-level approach to elk tags. Don’t miss this episode—enjoy!
