Wilderness Warrior Podcast

In this episode, we take an in-depth look at CVA's Paramount Pro Colorado, a long-range muzzleloader that changes the game for Western hunting pursuits. This ain't your granddaddy's muzzleloader. It's cleaner, shoots farther, and burns more powder than ever before.

Endurance, by Alfred Lansing. 

We kick off a new season of the Wilderness Warrior Podcast, with a story from D-Day. On June 6, 1944, the beaches of Normandy were stormed by courageous men, many of whom paid the ultimate price. It was a single defining moment for a generation of Americans. This episode puts the "Warrior" in the podcast title.

Calling in elk during hunting season is by far and away one of the most exciting hunts in North America, particularly if you're hunting with a bow. In this episode, Dan and Eric talk about the basic components of a quality elk calling strategy, including which calls work and in which parts of the year. We'll also talk about why some hunters don't call at all, how to play the wind, and best strategies for early season elk calling.
