Summary

On this episode, I'm joined by Josh Boyd who is an accomplished mountain hunter from whitetails, elk and beyond, and a regular contributor to Rokslide. I brought Josh on the podcast to talk about hunting the big, old mountain whitetails that inhabit Montana, Idaho and Washington. If talking about adventure hunting whitetails doesn't get your adrenaline going, I'm sure the discussion about hunting them in grizzly country will! Topics: Josh’s background The glory days of big western mountain whitetails Effects of predation on the deer population Types of terrain and vegetation Food sources Public land and timber company property Calling in mountain bucks Awareness around Grizzly bears, wolves and mountain lions Takeaways Resources Instagram:  @eastmeetswesthunt                   @beau.martonik                   @josh_boyd_mt Facebook:   East Meets West Outdoors                   Some of Josh's writing and gear reviews can be found here. https://www.rokslide.com/category/gear/ www.eastmeetswesthunt.com Partners: University of Elk Hunting Use code eastmeetswest to get 20% off of the most comprehensive elk hunting course available.
