We Iowegians like to brag about our status in the trophy whitetail category. You want a slob buck? Start putting in to draw a tag in the Hawkeye State. But what deer are to Iowa, elk are to Arizona. It's no secret that monstrous elk reside in the Grand Canyon State, and our friend Alex Gruin of East2West Hunts has been working hard on his own tag acquisition project to battle the 1% draw odds and go chase after these majestic animals. Finally after 8 long years of waiting his number was called and his hunt was scheduled, and he joins us in this episode to report on how it all went down.
