Cliff starts off with a detailed review of some gear that he utilized over the past few weeks of guiding, Cliff Skinner custom skinning knife, Worksharp sharpeners and the surprisingly effective Jim Green barefoot boots.
 
Transitioning into strategic hunting methods, we explore advanced tactics for late-season elk hunting. Discover how to locate secluded spots where bull elk recover post-rut, and strategies tailored to non-vocalizing Roosevelt and Rocky Mountain elk. Our discussion covers spot and stalk techniques and effective calling strategies to adapt to changing elk behavior.

We also delve into the art of salting hides in the field and Cliff discusses future seminars aimed at elevating the hunting skillset.
