Summary

In this episode, we tackle the question: “Does elk hunting etiquette still exist?” From trailhead behavior and camp courtesy to calling tactics and respecting other hunters' space, we dive deep into the unwritten rules that once defined ethical elk hunting. Have we lost touch with the code of the backcountry? Or are these values still alive in the modern hunter? Tune in for a raw, honest discussion about the ethics, respect, and integrity that should guide every hunt—and why some of those traditions may be slipping away. 💢 Discount Codes 💢   BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠ PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠ VORTEX WEAR | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ BLACK OVIS | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ Basekamp Quarter Pad | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ CrossOver Symmetry | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ Stealth Cam | 20% Off Code (non-cellular): ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE20⁠⁠⁠⁠ MAGVIEW | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ MY MEDIC | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠ GORUCK | LINK TO ⁠⁠⁠⁠SHOP⁠⁠⁠⁠ BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE20⁠⁠⁠⁠   🚨Video Production🚨 A CAM - ⁠⁠⁠⁠SONY A1 BODY⁠⁠⁠⁠ B CAM - ⁠⁠⁠⁠SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS⁠⁠⁠⁠ SONY ⁠⁠⁠⁠LONG LENS 70-200MM⁠⁠⁠⁠ WIRELESS ⁠⁠⁠⁠DJI MIC 2⁠⁠⁠⁠ STUDIO LENS ⁠⁠⁠⁠24-70MM ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠DJI DRONE ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠DJI ACTION 4⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
