Summary

"It’s taking me almost 20 years to figure out what elk hunting really means to me. It’s different things for different people. It even changes depending on the year, the tags, and the people I’m with. One thing I know, I’m beyond thankful for another year to chase elk where they live. It drives me to be better, physically and mentally, it clears my head from the cares of this life, it challenges me, it’s a personal game and not a competition, and I always come home thankful for the memories. For me it will always be a connection to my little brother we lost to cancer, he called me while I was hunting elk one year to let me know his diagnosis. I’ll never forget that year and the emotions. You aren’t suppose to lose your baby brother…he’s not forgotten and I’m a better man for losing him. I haven’t wasted a week since I lost him many years ago. Life is a blessing don’t waste it feeling sorry for yourself. Give life everything you have! Good luck this year…I’m gonna take my bow for a walk, and see what we can find." -Jeffrey Helm Listeners of the ElkShape Podcast Exclusives: 💢 Discount Codes 💢 BORN PRIMITIVE 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE CANVAS CUTTER 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE WILDERNESS ATHLETE 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE VORTEX WEAR 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE BLACK OVIS 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE SHEEPFEET 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE onXhunt ELITE Membership 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE FATTY SMOKED MEATS 10% Off Code: ELKHUNTER CrossOver Symmetry 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE STEALTH CAM 20% Off Code (non-cellular): ELKSHAPE20 MAGVIEW 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE TRUMEDIC 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE PEAX EQUIP 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE WILD SOCIETY MEALS 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE MY MEDIC 1ST AID 15% Off Code: ELKSHAPE DARK ENERGY Free Shipping Code: ELKSHAPE Learn more about your ad choices.
