EP 429: Wapiti Wednesday with Steven Drake

February 28, 2020 by John Gebauer

Steven Drake spends as much time in the woods as anyone I know. From putting out and checking cameras, to shed hunting, to his day job of capturing epic photo’s around the world, Steven gets after it. In today’s podcast, Steven and I sit down to talk about using game cameras and what that scouting has done to help consistently kill big bulls. We also cover tips for using cameras and understand the bigger picture of elk behavior. In the same thread, Steven shares some tips for finding more sheds and using shed hunting to understand elk behavior.

It is always fun to talk strategy with someone who hunts so very different than myself. In fact, Steven very rarely uses a call of any kind and spends far more time dogging a heard and waiting for the perfect moment. We talk about how as a solo hunter this tactic can be much better for getting shot opportunities. This is a great conversation and definitely got me fired up for elk season.

EP 406: Colorado Mule Deer Audio Experience

November 28, 2019 by John Gebauer

Welcome to another Audio experience. This time join me and good friend Craig Van Arsdale as we battle the crowds of public land Colorado. Going into this hunt we had high hopes, with great snow during 2nd season things were looking up the week before our 3rd season hunt. As the weather took a turn for the damn near tropical, we knew it was not going to be an easy hunt. With less than ideal temps and more people than Disney World on a spring day, we battled learning a new area and the ever continuous battle of trying to figure out the wholes where other hunters were not. Follow along as we work through game plan after game plan to figure things out.

This podcast is brought to you by the fine folks over at On X Maps. Right now for a super limited time only they are giving 30% off for the Holidays. Now through December 2nd, you can get 30% off Premium and Elite Memberships, App Cards, and Gear by heading over to try.OnXmaps.com/holiday-deals-2019 and using the code  Thanks30 at checkout. This is the biggest discount of the year on a must-have tool for every hunter and it is only available now through December 2nd.
This Audio Experience is also brought to you by Maven Optics, which is fitting because Maven was a huge part of my success in Colorado. On this trip, I had my 11×45’s, my B.5 18×56, and my  S.1 Spotter with me at all times. The 18’s were a game changer and allowed me to glass up deer in more country than I imagined. This was a pretty tough hunt, with weather and people as you are about to see, we relied heavily on utilizing our glass to find deer inside the timber when they weren’t up and moving.
If you aren’t familiar with Maven Optics yet you need to check them out. They are direct to consumer Optics company that is taking the optics world by storm. The New B.5 Binoculars which I used heavily on this hunt, won the Outdoor Life Editors Choice Award, which is a huge honor. Check them out at Mavenbuilt.com and if you use the code “TRO-GIFT” at check out you will get a free gift with your purchase. Again that’s Mavenbuilt.com
