Beyond the Kill

Elk season is here and, on this episode, we dig into some early-season hunt updates, past elk stories and lessons learned from one of the nuttier elk nuts in the crew.

This guest spends more time in the elk woods in one year than most people do over many seasons of elk hunting and we get some great stories from Karaoke Chris on this show.

With fall around the corner and the bulk of hunting seasons opening up we wanted to bring this show back to the top of our episode list.

The skills of observation and tracking are two of the most important skills within the hunting community and the information shared by the guests in this episode is invaluable.

We hear it all the time when it comes to sheep, goats, or any alpine dwelling species: let your eyes do the walking. Is this just a matter of patience or, is it a skill that can be acquired and mastered?

And when it comes to tracking, it can be the difference between a hard lesson learned and a successful recovery.

Mark Dambrosio and Owen Mulder, two Marines whose combined backgrounds span the Recon, Scout Sniper, and MARSOC communities, provide an in-depth look at the human biology and psychology that we need to understand and leverage to become more effective at tracking game and truly tune into whatever environment we find ourselves in, whether that's glassing open terrain or stalking timber/bush.

Mark and Owen also share their thoughts on survival and sustainment skills, as well as some tips for becoming more proficient with your rifle system.

Push yourself hard enough or for long enough and shit happens. Pain, injuries and compensations come with the territory.

It's all solvable and manageable, but if you're wondering how to deal with these types of problems in the thick of hunting season, Wardo has some simple recommendations that won't break the bank or involve taking unwanted rest.

Whether it's the sheep mountains in August or the elk woods in early/mid September, it can be damned hot and it's not hard to sweat your way to cramped muscles and a miserable time when you're carrying a pack and hiking through the backcountry. This ain't good for your hunting chances.

Wardo goes over how to figure out your hourly sweat rate and how to hydrate appropriately. Hint, plain old water isn't always the best answer.
