Elk season is upon us. It's hot, dusty, and it's glorious. Bulls across the Rocky Mountain

West are beginning to strip their velvet off as early season hunters, archers and possibly the lucky rifle

hunter looked for them in the high country and try and find them even though they're shifting and moving in their

transitioning pattern from their summer habits to the fall running season.

We're going to talk today. to the fall running season.

We're going to talk today about finding elk, hunting elk, and recovering early season elk. First, let's go to our upfront Q&A section.

And today it's brought to our upfront Q&A section.

And today it's brought to you by our sponsor,

Simba custom knives.

We have a question submitted via email by Joshua.

He writes, what are your thoughts on compensators? I've been

thrown around the idea of getting one to help with quick follow-up shots, but I'm not

sure. 6.5 is pretty easy on recoil but I'm not experienced enough to have a

really valid thought on this so I responded and said I like a good muzzle break

assuming that's the sort of compensator you're referring to

however I actually avoid the really aggressive versions they're really effective yes but also really blasty. I like a moderate break.

Even with a 6.5 caliber cartridge, you'll find it much easier to spot your own impact

and to make fast follow-up shots with a break on your

rifle. However, you'll want to get used to quickly sticking foam air plugs in before you

shoot in the field unless there's a world glass buck on

the line don't ignore ear protection. This is a pretty straightforward and simple question, but it's kind of important stuff.

This is a huge trend today.
