Bradley Dammerman is the owner/operator of Idaho Whitetail Guides and one hell of an American hunter.
In this episode, Bradley and I dive into early to late season elk calling. Bradley describes a unique calling technique with an elk shed you have to listen to. We go from week one September into mid-October calling. Elk ebb and flow with the season, Bradley drops some serious take-aways from his years as a guide that you will surely want to stow away in that knowledge toolbox.
Bradley is, simply put, one helluva human that puts his money where his mouth is. I really enjoy having him on the show. Every hunter out there could benefit from his years of experience and humble nature, don't miss this one folks.
