2) Average shot distance rifle bulls and archery bulls

Edit : Somehow I read this as “Shed Hunting tips”, not elk hunting tips. Sorry about that! I’d still like answers to the questions if you decide to do n episode on shed hunting one day!







I don’t live in elk country so I rarely have a chance to shed hunt. About the only time I can is while spring turkey or bear hunting, and When I do It’s always a new area that I’ve never been to before.

What are strategies he uses when going to a new area? How can you determine target elevation to focus on? What does he look for on a map? How does he pick an area to focus on?

When covering ground on foot, what is he looking for (besides sheds, obviously). Flat areas, water holes? Feeding areas? South slopes?

Does he ever shoot two bulls in Idaho?

What’s his preferred hunting time period? Ex: late season rifle, or rut archery, etc.

Does he have any advice for calling in the dense N.Idaho NW MT forests?

Also- I hope he just gets to BS about some of his more memorable hunts

I'm all about that shed hunting. Anything you can get him to spill.
And has he ever harvested a bull he has the sheds off of?
