Summary

Here's what you need to know on this episode, Josh Boyd resides in Northwest Montana and is in his mid-forties.  He is probably one of the most highly regarded DIY backcountry bowhunters that I know.  He's written hundreds of articles for publications and websites on numerous topics that pertain to hunting out West.  Josh is a super humble dude, but it was very special to talk one-on-one in person and record this episode.  We were at a crowded coffee shop at the time of this recording, but the information we cover is incredible for both rookie and veteran elk hunters. Josh works as a biologist and has logged more than a lifetime of experience in the woods.  He's a woodsman, student, father, and teacher.  Your ears need to perk up on this episode, we cover some next level elk hunting tactics.

couple hours. We did it in person. It was awesome. There's some background noise or whatever, but hey,

going to talk just about elk hunting today. We cover like A through Z on topics. We talk a little bit

about the hunting industry as well. It's really interesting to get his take. The dude is a biologist by day. He spends a lot of times in the mountains, so he's kind of a backcountry junkie. I mean, he's really an expert when it comes to backcountry hunting. He's a wealth of knowledge. And like I said, he's super humble. You're not going to really find him with a huge social following, which is unfortunate because he is the real deal.
