Whether you're heading out for your first elk hunt or looking to sharpen your system before the season opens, this episode is your go-to guide. Dan and Riley are joined by Josh Crawford of ElkShape Training to dive deep into all things elk hunting—from tactics to terrain, and scouting to pack-outs. We break down: • Solo vs. partner hunting tactics – and when to use each • How to scout effectively and locate elk consistently • Tips on camp setup, choosing a location, and staying mobile • Meat care in the field – especially when you're deep and far from the truck • Where to find elk, what sign to look for, and how to adapt when the plan falls apart This episode covers the foundations of elk hunting with no fluff—just straight-up, field-tested advice from guys who live it every fall. If you're serious about being prepared for the backcountry, this is one you’ll want to bookmark and replay. @elkshape @elkshapetraining @rileystaton24 DIRK DURHAM PODCAST: https://tinyurl.com/2np767c7 💢 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.
