Listen in as Wade Carter tells Part A of his archery elk hunt with Taylor Hix.  After burning a few points to hunt a new unit, you can count on "PrepZero" not to scout, train, or shoot his bow before stepping in the elk woods.  Learn from some of his early mistakes and start building your game plan now for success.

In this episode, Wade dives into pushing through pain, communication and executing a game plan, to the beauty of being fully present in the moment.  Wade and Taylor got into more elk this year than all of their previous seasons combined.  Both Part A & B are filled with great stories from their encounters with elk.  

In Part B, we highlighted their use of Llamas which was a game changer.  Let's point out a few other pieces of gear though they used to find success that you have an opportunity to win in our 2022 Outdoorsman of the Year, The On Point Experience, and the Western Hunter leagues.  Wade and Taylor have both spent a lot of time and money researching their gear for backcountry hunts.  It's no surprise they both selected Vortex Optics and EXO Mountain Packs to see farther and to carry heavy loads.  Wade opted to roll with First Light (On Point Experience) and loved their layering system.  Taylor for the last several seasons has been rocking Skre Gear (The Western Hunter) and he can't say enough good things about both their products and customer care.
