Extraordinary elk hunts provide extraordinary memories—and provide valuable lessons. In this episode, Joseph von Benedikt tells the stories of his 5 top elk hunts, and unpacks the seasonal conditions, hunt methods, gear (rifle, optic, cartridge, & bullet), and other dynamics that led to success. 

Deep analysis after each tale provides insight into make-or-break tactics and techniques, as well as gear adaptability, hunter/shooter skills, weather influences, and more. We talk the importance of local knowledge, a well-tuned shooting setup, persistence and stubbornness, the ability to glass effectively, stalking skills, big-timber woodsman ship, and how to hold it together at the moment of truth. 

ENJOY!
