EP 219: ElkBros Jam Session: Listener Exclusive Q&A Special

One of the best tools in your elk hunting toolbox is a decoy. Combine a decoy with your calling and you have just satisfied the two out of the three senses that an elk depends on to make a decision. Many times, just what you need to convince a wary bull or turn a hung bull into a shot opportunity and punched tag.
Danny Farris of Ultimate Predator Gear joins the crew to talk in-depth about elk hunting with decoys. The ElkBros, especially Joe has decades of experience with elk decoys and Danny has been a self proclaimed "decoy geek" since the 90's. Topics covered include different types and styles of decoys, why to use decoys and what makes them effective, the difficulties people have had with decoys, how to use them when solo or with a partner, how to use the Stalker decoys in different situations and conditions, possible failure points to avoid, along with several tips and tricks to help you succeed. Enjoy the episode!
