May 31, 2018 ElkShape Podcast EP 23 - Heather Kelly
So long Mountain House! Wait, what? Yes, I want all of you to consider just what is in a Mountain House or other freeze dried meals. Usually a ridiculous amount of sodium and preservatives that allow them to not have an expiration date. A lot of the dinners, which is primiarly what I use them for contain upwards of 200 grams of carbohydrates if you eat the whole bag. By the way, who doesn't eat the entire bag? The protein sources amongst other ingredients are not ideal. If we truly are preparing to hunt our best, feel our best, then we might want to consider what put in our bodies during the highly anticipated elk hunt.
So I sat down with Heather Kelly of Heather's Choice to pick her brain on their products. They do not sponsor me and I do not have a hidden agenda, but I hope you can listen and think about what you can do to be more intentional on your nutrition while in the field. I want you to recover faster and humps hills harder after elk and I believe improved nutrition can't hurt. We also talk best business practices, Heather's collegiate rowing days and few other fun topics like hunting Alaska. Thanks for listening!

April 29, 2018 ElkShape Podcast EP 20 - Ryan Lampers
Ryan Lampers of HUNT*HARVEST*HEALTH joins me today and we basically just catch up. Ryan and I met in the Idaho backcountry on an elk hunt. We ran into each other literally in the elk woods, where I shot a bull that he was calling back and forth with, I slipped in and arrowed this bull not knowing that he was the hunter calling from the ridgeline. We became friends, and then we shared a hunt together in Nevada. Ryan is also from WA and the best hunter I know.
Ryan consistently kills extraordinary animals in ordinary hunting units. He's extremely humble and hard working. He's the perfect guy to sit down with and talk shop on DIY hunting. Check out his podcast as well:

Today we bring on my hunting partner and father Rod Staton. We talk shop about how he got his start into elk hunting which is a cool progression from hunting whitetails in Georgia, to mule deer in Idaho, and finally sharing a successful elk hunt with me in Washington that set a new course for both of our lives.
We talk about how he likes to hunt public land off of a dirt bike, some tips for guys his age (60's +) and how they can effectively hunt elk on public land. We cover some tips to speed up the elk hunting learning curve.
We dive into bear baiting in Idaho, the best practices on running a bait or spot and stalk. There's a lot of great info on here and I selfishly enjoyed sitting down and sharing stories with my dad. Hope you enjoy!
