Trail and Brady unpack Trail's recent archery hunt. In this episode, they recap the hunt day by day, break down key takeaways, and discuss how weather and pressure impacted elk movement and bugling. They also dive into the biology of the elk rut: what drives it, how it progresses, and how understanding the rut can help guide future decisions. Finally, we talk lightning safety in the backcountry—what to do, what NOT to do, and how to avoid danger in the backcountry.
