Elk Hunting Advice from Sleep Deprived Guides

6 Ranch Podcast

It's been an incredible archery season so far, and we're exhausted. The good kind of exhausted, where you know you've put in the work to successfully guide your clients. During a break, I sat down with fellow guides, Kevin Harlander and Greg Jones, to chat about how the season's been going. We share our biggest lessons from this year and some advice for setting up, calling, and when to draw. And stick around to the end of the episode to hear a recording of one of my morning calling sessions from this hunt.
