Success in the elk woods is the culmination of many aspects that all fell into place, perfectly. Ask any seasoned elk hunter to pinpoint just one facet of their hunting prowess that led to their triumphs, and they'll tell you that it is their balanced approach, not a singular aspect, just as a well-oiled machine is more efficient.

Phoning in for a special two-part interview will be Gregg Ritz, host of Hunt Masters.

Either way, knowing what call to use and when to use it is imperative and Kristy is here to walk us through multiple scenarios. Finally, Jill Gechter with CINCH will wrap things up with proper layering for spot and stalk style hunts in brutal conditions.
