Listen Later

Struggling to find elk on public land? In this episode, we dive deep into the top signs you’re hunting a dead zone—and exactly what to do about it. If you’ve ever spent days glassing empty basins, hiking through dry, high-pressure terrain, or chasing silent bulls that vanish without a trace, this is your wake-up call.

Based on 33+ years of experience in the mountains, this episode covers how to:

• Recognize the signs of a dead zone early
• Read elk behavior based on feed, weather, pressure, and thermals
• Adjust your strategy for over-pressured elk hunting units
• Build mobile hunting systems and backup plans that work
• Know when to stay put and when it’s time to relocate and reset your elk hunt

This is a must-listen for anyone serious about elk hunting on public land—especially in high-pressure areas, OTC units, or during unpredictable rut phases. Whether you’re bowhunting elk during September or rifle hunting later in the season, these are the elk hunting tactics that keep you in the game when other hunters quit.

If you want to punch more elk tags, stop wasting time in empty country, and start making every decision with confidence, this episode is packed with the knowledge you need to adapt and succeed.
