On this episode of The Western Rookie Podcast, Brian talks with good friend Will Van Vleck about his latest elk hunt in the same unit Brian and Will met in! Will is a Montana resident and die-hard bowhunter. Brian and Will met on the mountain in 2022 while Brian and his Brother were on an archery elk hunt. Will shares some of his hunting strategy – whether it’s solo hunting bulls with a bow or hunting in a group and tagging a mule deer in the black timber. Brian and Will also talk about gear and pack weight for day hunts vs non-resident week long trips.  Check out the Sportsmen's Empire Podcast Network for more relevant outdoor content!
