In today’s episode of the podcast I am joined by Mike and Morgan Mulligan another badass Montana couple who work hard and have grown so much as elk hunters in the last few years. They are both avid listeners of the podcast and OG Patreon supporters. Morgan finally got the monkey off her back this year and killed her first bull and a great one at that.
In this podcast we talk about tons of lessons learned, screw ups, and not to mention the highs and lows of elk hunting. This is a long podcast but its packed with some really big tips. There are a couple things I remember thinking “man I don’t think we have ever talked about that before. Shout out to Montana Whiskey Co. for fueling this weeks podcast.

This podcast brought to you by the awesome folks at Maven Built Optics. Maven is such a cool company and a great group of people. I also love that they are a small Wyoming company making big waves. Maven is a direct to consumer optics company which means they don’t have huge mark ups. One of the most common questions you guys the listeners ask me is to compare mavens to something at an equal price point. I can’t say it enough Maven blows everything in a similar price point out of the water. Stop comparing products based on price. This is why I say Maven is the best bang for your buck by far and away, it’s not even close. Good glass is a must have. From their rifle scopes to binoculars, and spotters I highly recommend their optics. They also have a custom optics builder which is really cool. You can jump on their website MavenBuilt.com and design your optics with custom patterns or custom colors the options are pretty endless. Check them out at Mavenbuilt.com and use the “TRO-GIFT” code to get a special bonus gift with your purchase.
