In this episode I’m chatting with Corey Jacobsen. Corey is not only an amazing elk caller and hunter, but is he extremely well qualified to teach both. Corey’s been completely immersed in elk hunting literally his entire life and has 8 World Elk Calling titles as well. Currently he is producing some of the best elk hunting content out there, with his magazine Extreme Elk, a hunting magazine completely about elk hunting. Corey is a great resource for us all and there are some truly great take-aways and tips in this interview. We cover not only how he goes about calling in bulls and his exact routine, but also what he does when things don’t go as planned and the bulls don’t seem to be following the same script. We cover lots of scenarios and what if’s, along with how to find new hunting areas.

Favorite Quote:  “To him who has once tasted the reckless independence, the haughty self-reliance, the sense of irresponsible freedom, which the forest life engenders, civilization thenceforth seems flat and stale. Its pleasures are insipid, its pursuits wearisome, its conventionalities, duties, and mutual dependence alike tedious and disgusting. The entrapped wanderer grows fierce and restless, and pants for breathing-room.  The wilderness, rough, harsh, and inexorable, has charms more potent in their seductive influence than all the lures of luxury and sloth. And often he on whom it has cast its magic finds no heart to dissolve the spell, and remains a wanderer and an Ishmaelite to the hour of his death.” – Francis Parkman

Dream Hunt: Yukon moose with a bow

 

It all started when I was looking into picking up some MTN OPS products. Well, I had a bunch of questions, so I figured other hunters probably did as well. I decided to throw Casey and Jordan in the hot seat and see what MTN OPS can do to give me an edge on the mountain when I’m hunting.
