EP 411: Becoming A More Consistent Elk Hunter with Ben Guttormson

Whats’s up podcast Patrons welcome to another great episode of hardcore elk hunter conversations. In this week’s Wapiti Wednesday I sit down with good buggy Ben Guttormson to talk all kinds of elk hunting. We talk a lot about the mistakes that separate the rookie and the novice. Ben started chancing elk in 2007 and since then has made a pile of mistakes but also has turned into a truly great elk hunter. There is a big mental shift in those hunters who are wandering around in the mountains hoping to kill and elk and the guys like Ben who can consistently kill elk every year.
