0:04.6	And you're in the right place.
0:05.8	Welcome to East Meets West Hunt with your host, Beaumartonic.
0:13.8	Hey everyone.
0:15.0	Welcome back to another episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast presented by Onex.
0:20.2	The Onex Hunt app is the premium GPS hunting app
0:25.4	which turns your phone from just a regular old smartphone into a mobile GPS unit,

1:54.5	very beginning planning stages to, you know, getting in shape for your hunt, your gear.
2:05.8	And what's probably most pertinent to this time of year is the elk hunting knowledge.
