In this week’s Wapiti Wednesday we follow Jaden’s lead with his Mule Deer Biology Series to elk. Justin Gude of Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks joins the podcast to discuss elk in the fine state of Montana. Justin gives us a 30,000-foot view of current management objectives for elk within the state of Montana and shares some great insights that all hunters should understand. In this podcast, we discuss population objectives, wintering ground, habitat and much more.
