I was invited to hunt South Texas with the Pnuma Outdoors Recon Team late October 2021. The initial invitation was for axis deer, hogs and possibly some whitetail does. I didn't flinch at the opportunity, especially since the hunt was at the end of October when I historically don't have much going on for hunts. This turned out to be one of the greatest hunts I've ever been on and I ended up shooting my biggest whitetail buck to date. Check out the lineup for the 2022 ElkShape Camp Season!

WHY should you advertise your goals? Well, once you speak it out loud, you've initiated accountability. I keep a small circle and making sure they know what I am setting out to do holds me accountability and opens up further discussion on what steps to take daily that will lead to the big goal. Consistent small steps will build the necessary momentum to smash goals. So, have you identified your goals when it comes to faith, family, fitness, finances and hunting? Good, go share them after you jot them down in writing. Is your circle of friends too big, narrow that down too because we only have time and energy and choosing who you spend your precious commodities with is key. What are you going to STOP doing as it pertains to your goal(s)? What are you going to START doing? What is something you're currently doing but needs to be MODIFIED?

Bob has been an elk guide for over 30 years, he's basically a real life cowboy and honestly a physical specimen. He'll be turning 65 this year, but I don't think he's showing any signs of slowing down. Today we work through an entire weekend of ElkShape Camp and get Bob's perspective on how to best prepare for coming out West to Elk hunt. This episode has several elk nuggets so be ready to take notes!

Today's podcast was recorded midway through an ElkShape Camp in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We have several guests on this episode discussing how to battle Lyme disease, worst case altitude sickness, and of course curing target panic with Joel Turner. We even have Beau from the podcast East Meets West on this episode to chat about his experience as a camper at ElkShape Camp.
