Hey Rokslide!
I’m going on my first western hunt this fall in Montana as my 40th birthday gift to myself. I live in Wisconsin and have never hunted out of state. It will be an archery hunt with the option to return for gun season if I’m unsuccessful. I have the combo tag but will be targeting elk. My dad is coming with but will not be hunting.
I’m training every day to get into shape and dialing in all of my gear/bow, watching videos, listening to podcasts etc to learn the tactics and what to expect. My question is for the more experienced folks who have a few western hunts under their belts: what do you wish you’d done differently when you first starting elk hunting that you feel would have made the biggest difference in your success? I will be going into this with solid gear and hopefully in good shape, but I know that a few simple mistakes could totally spoil my efforts. Thanks for any input!
