Now comes the considerably harder part: figuring out where that bull will go once September arrives. Our friend, Cody Rich of Bridger Watch and the Elk Hunt Podcast joins the show to help build that game plan. Cody also explains why targeting one particular bull requires hunters to think bigger, monitor multiple drainages, and treat the country differently than they would when simply looking for any normal six-point. The conversation expands into a broader lesson about becoming a better elk hunter. Jaden and Cody compare "Elk Hunting 101, 201, and 301," including the importance of creating more opportunities, identifying which herds are actually killable, and avoiding country that looks good but makes it difficult to get repeated chances. We hope you enjoy this episode!
