Episode 104: From Elk Bugles to Turkey Gobbles with Dirk Durham (Phelps Game Calls)

In this episode of Wild Faith, we sit down with Dirk Durham of Phelps Game Calls to talk about elk hunting, turkey hunting, and why the outdoors can be the ultimate reset button for a man. Dirk has spent years in the mountains chasing elk and mastering the language of bugles, cow calls, and the chess match that unfolds every September in the backcountry. But the conversation doesn’t stop there—we also dive into spring turkey hunting, calling strategy, and the lessons the woods teach anyone willing to spend time out there. We talk about: How Dirk first fell in love with elk hunting Why the mountains and the turkey woods have a way of resetting your mind The mental and physical grind of chasing elk in the backcountry The art and strategy behind elk and turkey calling Whether you're an elk hunter chasing bugles in the mountains, a turkey hunter chasing gobbles in the spring woods, or someone who simply feels most alive outside, this conversation dives into why the outdoors continues to call people back year after year. 👉 Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more faith-driven hunting and outdoors content!
