Tyler shares how he went from a marketing career to guiding hunts in Colorado and why the physical and emotional prep for elk hunting is as important as your gear list. You'll hear actionable training strategies for flatlanders, mindset shifts for dealing with adversity in the mountains, and a few wild stories from the guide life.

The crew also dives into field-tested gear reviews:

• The GuardPro trail camera with solar panel
• The Tethered M2 turkey vest
  Plus a look at what really matters in trail cam performance and vest setups.

Whether you're eyeing a guided hunt or going full DIY, this episode will help you train, gear up, and get your mind right for big game success out West.
