On this week's episode Mitch is joined by friends and family Jacob Mengel and Neal Kerschner. Neal was fortunate to draw the tag of a lifetime: a Pennsylvania bull elk tag. Neal was joined by his dad and Jacob, and the crew was able to experience what most only dream about. Neal punched his tag on a beautiful 6x6 on the second day of the season on public land. He was proud to have the hunt play out in a manner closely to what he envisioned: a hunt worth working for. An added bonus is that Neal's bull may be the northernmost bull elk harvested in PA's history since the hunt began. We discuss the emotional rollercoaster of drawing the tag, choosing an outfitter, then hurrying up to wait for the December 28th opener. Sit back and enjoy!
