Today’s guest is Dayton from Cranbrook, British Columbia — a law enforcement officer and accomplished bowhunter with firsthand experience in the realities of grizzly country. Dayton has responded to multiple grizzly bear attacks, including one tragically close to home where a hunter later died from his injuries. He’s also been charged by bears while hunting, and in one incident, his colleagues were forced to shoot a grizzly that was actively attacking them. In this episode, we dive into why the grizzly bear hunting ban was enacted, the consequences of nearly a decade without a hunt, and the hard truth about why hunters struggle to stay unified on critical wildlife issues. This is an eye-opening conversation every outdoorsman needs to hear. https://www.sfgate.com/national-parks/article/grizzly-mauled-schoolchildren-still-missing-21208080.php https://bcwf.bc.ca/our-history/ 💢 Discount Codes 💢 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://glnk.io/p9vpq/21r PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.peaxequipment.com/ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/MobileElkHunting VORTEX WEAR | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - http://bit.ly/40pIF6R SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/SheepFeet onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/ONXHUNT Basekamp Quarter Pad | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE https://bit.ly/42Xa5mB CrossOver Symmetry | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - http://bit.ly/3LMnVBA Stealth Cam | 20% Off Code (non-cellular): ELKSHAPE20 10% Off Code (cellular) ELKSHAPE 10 - https://bit.ly/3LFRULv MAGVIEW | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - http://bit.ly/3nhGmUo MY MEDIC | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/3nhRJvV DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/3P5x3BY GORUCK | 10% OFF CODE: ELKHUNT - https://glnk.io/ko1wr/staton BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE20 - https://blackriflecoffeecompany.pxf.io/9LnW0E INITIAL ASCENT | 5% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://initialascent.com/ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=pl&ti=14093&pw=265865&mi=30849&pt=3&pri=26 🚨Video Production🚨 A CAM - SONY A1 BODY - https://amzn.to/3wLZLBW B CAM - SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS - https://amzn.to/3InUGST SONY LONG LENS 70-200MM - https://amzn.to/433SXLW WIRELESS DJI MIC 2 - https://amzn.to/3uYPku5 STUDIO LENS 24-70MM - https://amzn.to/3PbhZD8 DJI DRONE - https://amzn.to/3TqrAZo DJI ACTION 4 - https://amzn.to/49FDPXA Learn more about your ad choices.

Blake shares powerful insights from his time in the Navy, and how that foundation of service, structure, and sacrifice has shaped the way he approaches training, bowhunting, and being a man of purpose. Alongside him, Nick brings a grounded and relatable voice to the table as they explore topics like motivation, showing up with intention, and the small daily decisions that make or break your goals.

**BONUS POD** In this special and emotional episode, Dan sits down with Tyler Denim—firefighter, bowhunter, and close friend of ElkShape—for a raw debrief following the recent Coeur d’Alene fire tragedy, where two firefighters lost their lives in the line of duty. After filming a light-hearted episode together, Tyler was one of the first on scene responding to that devastating call. This conversation goes beyond hunting—it’s about the weight of the job, the impact of loss, and the role of faith, family, and purpose when life suddenly hits harder than expected. We also talk about how Tyler’s experience as a firefighter shapes his perspective on training, preparation, and living with intention—not just in the backcountry, but at home, with the people who matter most. This is a sobering episode—but one we believe every hunter, husband, father, and first responder needs to hear. @elkshape @elkshapegear @djfalconnn 💢 Discount Codes 💢   BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠ PEAX EQUIP - 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 Basekamp Quarter Pad | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠ CrossOver Symmetry | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠ Stealth Cam | 20% Off Code (non-cellular): ⁠⁠ELKSHAPE20⁠⁠ MAGVIEW | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠ MY MEDIC | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠ DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠ GORUCK | LINK TO ⁠⁠SHOP⁠⁠ BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ⁠⁠ELKSHAPE20⁠⁠   🚨Video Production🚨 A CAM - ⁠⁠SONY A1 BODY⁠⁠ B CAM - ⁠⁠SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS⁠⁠ SONY ⁠⁠LONG LENS 70-200MM⁠⁠ WIRELESS ⁠⁠DJI MIC 2⁠⁠ STUDIO LENS ⁠⁠24-70MM ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠DJI DRONE ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠DJI ACTION 4⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
