Welcome back guys to another episode of Cutting the Distance Podcast. Today I got my

good buddy Josh Boyd in the house. We're at the Western Hunting Expo here in Salt Lake

City. Beautiful Salt Lake City.

Josh and I kind of go way back.

We've known each other for, I don't know, probably

since 2010, 11 somewhere in there through a love and passion for El cunning.

First became acquainted with Josh seeing some articles he wrote, some web articles on

el cunning and I immediately loved the wrote some web articles on El-Kunning.

And I immediately loved the information he was given out,

but I also loved the voice.

Different writers have kind of a different voice

in their writings, and I always love Josh's voice of his writing so I became an instant

fan and then as I get to know Josh over the years I like to kind of refer to him as the elk master. You know if some people know about the movie

Beast master this guy is the elk master. He's probably one of the most humble people you're ever going to meet and he would never tell you about his body count on elk.

But let's just say it's up there and I'm not going to share it because some people don't like to share you know with everyone but let's just say

very accomplished Elkhunter and I'm I have the most respect for this man and I'm just happy to sit down and and have an official conversation on a podcast about El cutting.

I mean him and I can get on the phone or sit there and BS each other at this trade show and

hours will tick by talking about Elk and it's probably one of the best Elk

conversational people I enjoy to talk to so welcome Josh.

Oh thanks Dirk. Yeah no we could it it's an enjoyable topic and like you said I can talk about it for hours and any day anytime and I do know my

body count and I've told a few people but the only reason I know it is because I keep a spreadsheet of where and

when and how and how far I shoot each yelk and it goes way back you know into the 80s
