Folks, do you need fancy gear to hunt elk?

Specifically, do you need a cutting-edge rifle to go to the Rocky Mountains for your first elk hunt and be successful?

Well, today we've got an outfitter and a professional guide here who believes he has the answer to the all question.

I mean, that question.

Let's welcome back, Tate Bradfield a process based hunter a man that i'm proud to call my friend and that i uh co-host our elk

hunting boot camp with and we've done a little hunting ourselves we went to mexico and shot both of us

shot the biggest out of our lives this year which was, we used nice rifles on that one, like very nice rifles.

We did.

And in least one case, it was kind of called for it.

It was a long, challenging shot.

Yep, yep, yeah, yep.

But we weren't hunting elk, and we were kind of being picky about our oddad we were so sometimes

it does behoove you to choose and try really refined tools and we were using a brand new type of

ammunition that we were testing so there was a lot of things that were new about that it was our

responsibility it was an obligation.

All right.

So before you address any topic and try and thoroughly unbox it, one should define that topic.

Yes.

So what's the root of this question?

Why do you feel like it's important to aspiring elk hunters today?

So I get a lot of guys.

I've had guys book a hunt with me, and then they'll start doing research.
