                    1. The Importance of Time and Location in Archery Elk Hunting: Jason shares his struggles with getting close to elk, emphasizing the need to scout effectively, choose the right location, and put in the time to observe elk patterns.

                    2. The Power of Covering Ground Efficiently: Cody advises that success in elk hunting comes from aggressively covering ground—whether it's bugling at night, checking multiple areas in a day, or setting up in strategic spots during the peak hours.

                    3. Hunting in Groups vs. Solo: While hunting in groups can be fun and supportive, Cody explains why hunting solo or with a partner who is willing to split up and cover more ground can lead to more success in finding elk.
