Today, Dan sits down with longtime friend **Josh Jones (MFJJ)** for a conversation that's been over 20 years in the making.

The two catch up on life, archery, and Josh's brand-new podcast based out of Nashville, Tennessee. They dive into how the show came together, what he's learned behind the microphone, and some of the most memorable guests and conversations from his first year.

Of course, it wouldn't be an ElkShape podcast without going down a few archery rabbit holes. From bow tuning and equipment philosophies to lessons learned from decades in the industry, this episode is packed with insights, stories, and plenty of laughs between two friends who have shared a passion for archery for decades.

To wrap things up, Josh makes a special announcement about the **2027 MFJJ Camp**, including its brand-new location in **Nashville, Tennessee**. If you've ever wanted to learn directly from one of the best bow technicians in the game, you won't want to miss it.

Four elk seasons. Plenty of close calls. More mistakes than successes. And one goal that still burns just as hot: punching that first archery elk tag.

Today I'm joined by Nate Illingsworth as we unpack his entire elk hunting journey—the failures that stung, the lessons that changed the way he hunts, and the habits that are finally starting to stack the odds in his favor. We talk about the mental side of staying motivated when success doesn't come quickly, what he's doing right, what still needs to improve, and why every season has been building toward this one.

We also pull back the curtain on content creation. From the outside it can look like hunting trips and YouTube videos, but we discuss the reality of making a living in this industry, the long hours behind the camera, balancing business with hunting, and what most people never see.

Whether you're still chasing your first elk or trying to build something bigger than yourself, this conversation is packed with honest lessons from both sides of the camera.

Fresh off the prairie, Dan is back in the studio to recap an unforgettable 5-day pronghorn hunt across two Western states that ended with two punched tags.

In this bonus episode, Dan breaks down the tactics that led to success, including how he approached different properties, adapted to changing conditions, and capitalized on pronghorn behavior in the wide-open country. He also shares observations on antelope movement, shot opportunities, stalking strategies, and the lessons that can carry over to other Western hunts.

Not every hunt goes perfectly, though. After harvesting his first buck, Dan noticed poor arrow flight and walks through exactly how he diagnosed the issue, verified his remaining arrows, and made the necessary adjustments before heading into hunt number two. It's a great reminder that confidence in your equipment is earned—not assumed.

Whether you're planning your first pronghorn hunt or simply enjoy hearing the play-by-play from a successful Western adventure, this episode is packed with practical takeaways, gear talk, and a fresh hunting recap while the memories are still vivid.

Today, Joel Turner is back in the ElkShape studio, and this episode is packed with practical elk hunting knowledge that could change the way you prepare for September.

Joel starts by breaking down his exact elk calling script—step by step—explaining not only what sounds to make, but when to make them, why they work, and how this proven sequence evolved over years of calling in mature bulls. Whether you're just getting started or looking to sharpen your calling strategy, there's something here you'll be able to apply this season.

Next, we dive into Joel's brand-new web app, Call MTN Whisper, an innovative training tool that listens to your elk calls in real time, analyzes your sounds, and provides instant feedback and grading so you can continuously improve. If you've ever wondered whether you're actually sounding like an elk, this technology takes the guesswork out of practice.

Finally, we shift gears to the mental side of archery. Joel explains why the mind is primary when it comes to shot execution. You can have perfect form, a finely tuned bow, and countless hours of practice, but without true shot control, your technique won't show up when the moment of truth arrives. It's a powerful reminder that mastering your mind is just as important as mastering your equipment.

What does it really take to go from dreaming about elk hunting to arrowing a 350-inch public land bull?

In today's episode, Dan sits down with Noble, a Montana resident and attendee of the 2026 Elk Immersion Experience, to unpack an incredible journey. Noble shares the lessons learned during his first three years of DIY public land elk hunting, the mistakes that accelerated his learning curve, and the unforgettable story of taking his first bull elk—a mature public land giant that taped out around 350 inches.

The conversation goes far beyond one successful hunt. Noble opens up about his fitness background, the role physical preparation has played in his hunting success, and why he and his family made the life-changing decision to leave the Southeast and move to Montana in pursuit of a western lifestyle.

Whether you're new to elk hunting, dreaming of your first bull, or simply looking for motivation to chase your own goals, this episode is packed with practical insight and inspiration. It's proof that success in the elk woods comes from preparation, persistence, and a willingness to bet on yourself.

A lot has happened in the hunting world, and this week's episode tackles some of the biggest conversations head-on.

In this episode, Dan sits down with longtime friend Will Cooper from GSM Outdoors, HuntStand, and Stealth Cam to have an honest conversation about one of the most debated topics in modern hunting: cellular trail cameras and fair chase ethics.

Having shared several whitetail hunts together over the years, Dan and Will bring plenty of firsthand experience to the table as they discuss where trail cameras add value, where they can be misused, and why intent matters just as much as the technology itself. They also dive into public land etiquette, respecting other hunters, and why the Golden Rule should guide the way we interact with one another in the field.

This isn't about telling you what to think—it's about having a thoughtful conversation on how we can preserve the traditions, challenges, and respect that make hunting so meaningful.

Whether you're a die-hard trail camera user, a public land hunter, or simply interested in the future of fair chase, we hope this episode gets you thinking.

Topics covered:

Cellular trail cameras and fair chase

Where technology helps—and where it can hurt

Public land etiquette and hunter respect

The Golden Rule in hunting

Responsible use of trail cameras

Why ethics often matter more than regulations
