TOP 3 BACKCOUNTRY HUNTING TACTICS FOR ELK AND MULE DEER: STILL, AMBUSH, SPOT AND STALK | 🎙️ EP. 12
Want to become a more effective public land hunter? In this episode, we break down the top 3 backcountry hunting tactics every serious hunter must master: Still Hunting, Ambush Hunting, and Spot-and-Stalk. Whether you're chasing elk, mule deer, or other big game on public land, knowing when and how to apply each of these strategies is the key to consistent success in high-pressure units.
You’ll learn how to:
• Hunt elk on public land using terrain, wind, and pressure to your advantage
• Use still hunting tactics to quietly cover ground in thick timber and bedding zones
• Set up effective ambush hunting locations based on travel corridors, feed, and thermals
• Execute smart, calculated spot-and-stalk plays in open or broken terrain
• Manage wind, scent, and visibility in high-odds setups
• Adjust your backpack hunting strategy based on real-time conditions
Whether you're bowhunting elk during the rut or rifle hunting during late season, this tactical breakdown gives you the decision-making framework to adapt and succeed. We focus on how to match each hunting method to the landscape, pressure level, and animal behavior you're facing—so you stop guessing and start getting into more game.
Built for:
• Public land elk hunters
• DIY backcountry hunters
• First-time western big game hunters
• Archery and rifle hunters looking to sharpen their field tactics
Perfect to listen to while scouting, training, or heading into camp—this is your practical field guide for hunting smarter and staying lethal in the backcountry.
