Summary

Today we bring on my hunting partner and father Rod Staton.  We talk shop about how he got his start into elk hunting which is a cool progression from hunting whitetails in Georgia, to mule deer in Idaho, and finally sharing a successful elk hunt with me in Washington that set a new course for both of our lives. We talk about how he likes to hunt public land off of a dirt bike, some tips for guys his age (60's +) and how they can effectively hunt elk on public land.  We cover some tips to speed up the elk hunting learning curve. We dive into bear baiting in Idaho, the best practices on running a bait or spot and stalk.  There's a lot of great info on here and I selfishly enjoyed sitting down and sharing stories with my dad.  Hope you enjoy!
