Summary

In this Episode of the "Reaching Your Peak" mini-series, (Episode #5), we have another story/lesson from Corey Jacobsen. This week, Corey shares the story of his Idaho archery elk hunt in 2010 with his hunting partner, Donnie Drake. A herd bull gives them the slip early in the morning, and they are tricked by the echoing bugles in the narrow canyon they are hunting. This leads them to the wrong side of the canyon, where they are met with silence...until 12:30 p.m. With the herd bull on the main ridge clear across the drainage, there is only one option, and it involves a lot of hiking. But with the bull being bedded down for the afternoon, their chances of getting in close have now increased, and they are in for an incredible "Midday Madness" experience! “Reaching Your Peak” will be published every other week, to fill in the gap between regular ElkTalk Podcast episodes, from now until the first part of October. In this new mini-series, Corey will be sharing stories from his past elk hunts, and then detailing a strategy or tactic that was instrumental in the success of that hunt.

0:00.0	Welcome to Reaching Your Peak, an educational storytelling mini-series of the Elk Talk podcast.
0:19.6	This is Corey Jacobson, and today I'm going to be sharing a story from one of my previous
0:23.6	do-it-yourself public land Elk Kuntz, and then breaking down a strategy or a tactic that was
0:28.8	instrumental in the success of that hunt.
0:36.6	Reaching Your Peak is brought to you by Peek Refuel.
0:46.2	If you're looking for delicious freeze-dried meals that are made with 100% real ingredients,
0:51.5	including premium USDA meats, you've probably already heard of Peek Refuel. Their meals have
0:57.5	nearly twice as much protein as the competition, which is important for fueling your body in the
1:02.4	backcountry. There's no fillers, no empty calories, just premium nutrition that truly meets the
1:08.5	needs of Elk Kuntz, and the taste is second to none. My personal favorites are their home-style
1:14.8	chicken and rice and the beef stroganoff, but they have a huge selection of other incredible meals
1:20.5	like chicken alfredo, biscuits and gravy, chicken coconut curry, sweet pork and rice, mountain
1:27.2	berry granola, and a whole lot more. If you want to taste the difference, visit Peek Refuel.com

2:19.2	ElkTalkPodcast.com regarding my Lyme disease, Randy and I do plan on tackling that and sharing
