Summary

Nick Mezzacappa is a New Jersey Cop and former CrossFit Gym owner. I met Nick back in 2021 at an ElkShape Camp in Pennsylvania. Since then, Nick has been on a few public land elk hunts and he's so close to busting out of the elk hunting learning curve. Today we go over some of the strategies he's used on his hunts and chat about what to do different this year when he heads to Montana with his bow. #ElkShape 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 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE GORUCK 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE ELKSHAPE TRAINING PROGRAM 20% Off LINK Learn more about your ad choices.
