What a way to start of turkey season in Ohio! On April 21st Travis Williams covered over 5 miles of private land and barely heard a gobble. Yet it all came together on a small chunk of public land. April 22nd Trav Shirer went out with the dream of killing a turkey with his recurve. Today we unpack both hunts and the lessons learned.
Today we get a little bit of everything with our guest! David Miller (not David Nelson! My apologies in the intro for saying Nelson) shares some incredible bobcat hunting stories along with a special Montana elk hunt with his dad. We wrap it all up with a nilgai hunt in West Texas. Great conversation and some unique stories!
Today I'm joined again by my friend Dan Ray from Utah. Dan and I talk about a lot of lessons we have learned in the elk woods. We dive into some tactics but primarily focus on the attitude and characteristics an elk hunter will need to have a good trip and experience.

With Daniel having some back trouble, they weren't sure how the hunt would go and some doubts...

For 20 years my Australian friend Daniel Mummery has chased Sambar deer and had hoped to take a stag with antlers. And for 20 years, it hasn't panned out. With limited time to hunt and a critter that is very elusive, opportunities have been few and far between. That is...until a couple weeks ago. Daniel comes on to tell th...
