- Late Season Extended Archery Tactics w/ Kenneth Oetker
#040 - The Utah Extended Archery season is difficult. Lots of people, changing animal behavior, and limited public land all pose a unique difficulty hunting with a bow in late season. Kenneth Oetker has overcome these challenges and is consistently successful hunting the Wasatch Front with a bow. We talk about tactics, mindset, and general tips to get the job done in this unique season.

huntthewest.us1 hr 2 min - Pre-rut Archery Elk Hunting | Week 2
#039 - It's finally SEPTEMBER! That means archery elk hunting. Now unlike most hunters, I'm not after a giant bull, I'm definitely not going to let one go if I come across one, but I was mostly targeting any elk that would come to calls. If you just want to fill the freezer with any elk during the beginning of archery season this is for you.

huntthewest.us39 min - Archery Elk Hunting Gear I'm Loving Right Now
#038 - There are a lot of questions that arise surrounding gear with hunting season rolling in. Luckily for me, Utah archery seasons start pretty early so I’ve already been hunting for 5 days at the time of this recording and when this episode comes out I’ll actually already be hunting again for another 5 days - chasing elk with my bow.
A lot of gear questions get answered by just getting out there and using what you have and seeing what works best. But that takes time, and being out in the field. For lots of us, we only get a few days each year to hunt so we need to make it count. That's the goal of this podcast, to cut down on the learning curve so you can maximize your effectiveness and learn lessons before you otherwise would have.
