So many of our Grinders listen to our show and think, “Man, Those Guys have got it together”. Well, we are here to tell you that what you are seeing or hearing is a culmination of years and years of plenty of things we have learned the HARD WAY. We do a lot of things right, because we learned from a LOT of mistakes. If you could do it wrong or have it just go flat out wrong, it's happened to us! That's why we do what we do, to help you possibly avoid some of those very same pitfalls.

On Today’s Edition of Blue Collar Elk Hunting, The ElkBros talk about some of those mishaps and even share some deep personal feelings about some very hard knocks experienced along the way and the lessoned learned. It's all about turning lemons into lemonade, in elk hunting and in life. We hope you enjoy the episode.

EP 72: Hunting Elk, But Finding More

ElkBros Blue Collar Elk Hunting

play

06/16/20 • 90 min

Elk hunting should come with a warning, “What you are about to do may change your life...forever”. What is it about something that is so physically and mentally demanding that keeps thousands coming back for more? Coming back to find something within the hunt that answers so many questions within the soul? For each of us, it will be something different. But for each of us, there is one common thread. Our life is changed from the experience. For some, it may even save our lives in ways we never knew possible.

On Today’s Edition of Blue Collar Elk Hunting, Inspired from a story from one of our grinders, we talk about the many ways that elk hunting can effect your life. How it can help you possibly find answers, bring things into focus or even hit you over the head with things you need to change.

EP 71: The Aggressive Elk Hunter

ElkBros Blue Collar Elk Hunting

play

06/09/20 • 100 min

Elk Hunting is about encounters and opportunities. The more encounters you have, the higher your odds at having an opportunity and closing the deal. But how is it that some people have so many more opportunities? Is it luck?

My father had a saying. Whenever I would tell him he was lucky, he would always tell me "Luck is nothing but skill and opportunity meeting". When I asked him how it was that he had so many more "opportunities" than others, he just looked at me,... winked and said..."because I create MY OWN opportunities".

When it comes to elk hunting, there are going to be plenty of guys and gals that have encounters and opportunities this coming season. They are going to be in the right place at the right time. But if you want to be "That Hunter", the one out of 10 that are consistently having opportunities and getting it done, year after year, then let me share a little lesson from my dad...you are going to have to learn how to create your opportunities.

On this Tuesday's Show, We talk about how to create your elk hunting opportunities by being an aggressive hunter. But what does it mean to be an aggressive elk hunter? Is it screaming challenges? Is it an attitude or a temperament? Is it being a wrecking ball and forcing the issue? Well, let's see....the answer to those would be "no", "yes" and "yes and no", lol. In this episode, we are going to explain exactly what it means to be an Aggressive Elk hunter. How you too can go after those hunting opportunities like a dog on a bone, focused and yes..."Aggressive".

Understanding how and where to find and locate elk can be an incredibly daunting task for the first time or just about any level of elk hunter. Just the shear vastness when you first look at a map of a hunting area can be intimidating and have you asking yourself, "Where in the heck do I start?"

On today's InSights Edition we interview Paul Medel, the ElkNut, about his process to first determine where to hunt and how he goes about finding, locating and of course calling elk in places he has never been. Paul is one of the most passionate elk hunters you will ever come across. A renowned elk hunter, sought after speaker and the man behind the ElkNut App, Paul never fails to bring his years of knowledge and high energy anytime he can talk about hunting elk.

Some of the other topics covered:

  • Creative location vocalizations
  • Aggressive "Hung Bull" technique
  • Problems when calling in open terrain
  • Creating an opportunity even when your "busted"

This year alone, thousands of dollars are going to be invested in preparation for the upcoming season. It’s safe to say that pretty much 100% of the guys hunting for elk this year will have all the gear they need. But less than 10% of hunters, on average, will punch their tag this year. So what is the difference?

Your best investment for success on your upcoming elk hunt is to invest in those areas that are going to differentiate you from the pack, and give you the best chance to be that 1 successful hunter out of 10.

The goal of this Series is to help you identify those areas to best invest your Focus, Time, Energy and Money. Think of it as an "Insider Tip" into your own Elk Hunter Stock. And the beauty of this investment is that it’s all reward!

Those topics as well as our ElkBros Mailbox:

  • Other Podcast Recommendations
  • Tips for the NM Draw
  • Diaphragm Calls
  • Calling hunters rather than bulls

Your Dream has been to go on a Western Elk Hunt, but can you do it? It can be so intimidating to even begin looking at the logistics and next thing you know, it just locks you up. This year's dream hunt easily turns into "Maybe next year". Look y'all, it doesn't have to be that way. It is definitely something that you can do. You just need to quit treating it like that monster under the bed and see that not only can it be done, but that there are people JUST LIKE YOU doing it!

On today's InSights Edition Dylan Ferreira, a Rhode Island Game Biologist, shares every logistical aspect of traveling from Massachusetts to New Mexico for a 5 day elk hunting adventure, turning his dream into a reality. He covers travel plans and considerations, safety precautions, rental vehicles, meat processing logistics, equipment prep and performance, as well as costs for all aspects of his adventure.

04/28/20 • 99 min

Persistence. Internal grit. Taking what others see as obstacles and turning them into opportunities. These are qualities that often separate the doers, the Grinders, from the woulda-coulda's. Qualities, that as your coaches, we want to instill in each and every one of you.

The goal of today's show is to help you develop mental strength and talk about those things hunters may see as a reason for failure and debunk some of the myths, re-looking at them and finding solutions to how they can actually become opportunities for success. Plus a special surprise guest!

Here are just some of the topics discussed:

  • Staying motivated after hard days of hunting
  • What it means to be a grinder
  • The full moon
  • Windy days
  • Too hot & dry
  • Late Rut - Bulls not responding
  • Too many hunters

Those topics as well as our ElkBros mailbox:

  • Archery Setup strategies for different numbers
  • Broadhead recommendations
  • Arrow setups
  • How many arrows to take into the field

How incredibly exciting is it when you draw that elk tag! You picked your state, researched hunt units, applied and now you're rockin' with a 2020 elk Tag!! Then, reality sets in and that excitement turns into a string of thoughts, questions and concerns about specific things needed to have a successful hunt. And when it comes right down to it, the three biggest concerns we are getting from listeners are questions about 1) Finding Elk, 2) Calling Elk and 3) How to get knowledge about the hunting area.

On Today’s Edition of Blue Collar Elk Hunting, it's Part 1 of a two part series with the ElkBros Coaches sinking their teeth right into those concerns. Up first, "Finding Elk". The guys go into both Rifle and Archery thought processes to find elk both before and after getting boots on the ground. What they do and what they look for. So y'all, pull up a chair and come right on into elk camp!
