Elk season with Jermaine Hodge

Show Notes:

I’m catching up with my friend Jermaine Hodge, and we kick things off by talking about summer hunting plans. I’m headed up to hunt elk in Idaho, and Jermaine is as well. It's a tough country to get into, and Jermaine’s planning a trip with two other world champions—watch out, elk! They’re going in with three tags and 15 days to get it done, so they’re going to go for it. Jermaine’s also going to spend some time hunting late season elk in Colorado.

You can’t guarantee success on a hunt, but it’s all about the experience. Some people look down on those who go out with guides and outfitters, but you don’t realize how much is still in their hands. Jermaine and I talk about the value of going out with a guide. Jermaine also drew a cow moose tag in Colorado, and he’s excited to fill his freezer up. We also talk about some of the expos Jermaine’s looking forward to and the competitions and contests going on there.

Jermaine has a couple of great elk stories, and he shares all the details here. Elk season can be a total grind, and he shares a story from a trip he went on with his wife in 2009. On day one, they both made a kill. At the end of the season, Jermaine’s good friend still had a tag to fill, and he talks about how they got the job done. We also talk about late season hunts and share some stories from those hunts as well.
