Chad Dotson has devoted A LOT of time to observing game animals, in Africa and right here in Northeast Oregon. He's spent a couple of stints in Namibia trading work on a large game ranch for room and board. There, he had the opportunity to harvest an incredible kudu, amongst other species. Since 2013, he has guided for elk on the Zumwalt Prairie, an enormous grassland here in Wallowa County. During that time, Chad has recorded information on every animal harvested to understand how a bull's age relates to its Boone and Crockett score.  Chad has gained some interesting insight on elk and their behavior through this work. In this episode, we get into what we have learned about the animals we watch, hunt, and love by telling some of our most memorable hunting stories.
