We are one month away from September and elk season is almost here! There's nothing like chasing bugling bulls with a bow in your hand. In today's episode, Alex Comstock and Jeremy Lopez sit down with Matt Lee. Matt's been an elk hunter since 2006. In fact, Matt killed his first elk when he was 12 years old! Matt is a local, blue-collard guy from the Midwest who lives to elk hunt. He has a proven track record that you can have consistent success on public land. Over his elk hunting journey, Matt has killed 10 bulls and has only eaten his tag two times since he started going out West. The guys dive into elk hunting stories about how Matt went on his first elk hunt and hunted out of a treestand, how Matt's been able to get it done on 11 elk over the years, frontal shots, practical advice for a first-time elk hunter, strategies for securing a tag, where to spend your money when it comes to gear, attributes of having a killer mindset, elk hunting tactics, calling in bulls vs spot and stalk, how to stay in the hunt until it's over, how many days you should allocate for a DIY elk hunt, favorite days to hunt in September, archery setups for Western hunting, best practices to prepare physically for a hunt, what broadheads Matt's had success with, and finally, the ONE thing a new elk hunter should be practicing. Whether you're gearing up for your first elk hunt or going back out West to hunt elk this Fall, this episode will get you fired up to chase bulls this September!
