Thrive Vodcast 26 - Early Elk Season Mastery

Welcome to Peax Thrive Vodcast Episode 26! This is another Live On Location episode, and I’m joined by one of the most intensely dedicated elk hunters I know—Dan Staten, the founder of ElkShape.

Over the years, Dan and I have had some epic podcast conversations—and this one’s no different. 

If you know Dan, you know he is intense and doesn’t cut corners. He’s hands down one of the most disciplined and committed elk hunters out there.

In this episode, we get into boots-on-the-ground scouting, elk nurseries, hidden water sources, rub lines, gear testing, and the evolving strategy behind early-season logistics.

This isn’t just another elk hunting episode—it’s packed with real-world takeaways you can apply this season.
