What happens when whitetail tactics collide with world-class elk country? Bennett Bradford of DC Outfitters joins Brian to break down how they target once-in-a-lifetime Utah bulls using tree stands, trail cams, and early-season patterning. From running 200+ cameras to setting stands 40 feet high in quaking aspens, Bennett explains how a whitetail mindset can unlock opportunities most elk hunters never see.
The conversation dives into the realities of premium Utah units—25+ year draw odds, 400-inch bulls, and why client expectations can make or break a hunt. Brian and Bennett also tackle gear choices like saddles vs. platforms, fixed-blade vs. expandable broadheads, and the challenges of blood trails and recovery on bulls that don’t stop running. Add in stories of family hunts, 390-class legends, and bulls that disappear for years only to show back up, and you’ll get a real look at what chasing giants is all about.
