Today we are connecting with one of our YouTube subscribers who drove a long ways for us to sit down and answer his elk hunting and gear related questions. Kramer has a few elk seasons under his belt and wanted to do an audit on his bow, gear selection and elk tactics after a couple years of tag soup on public land. Dan and Tyler answer his questions in hopes of helping him crush the elk hunting learning curve. #ElkShape Listeners of the ElkShape Podcast Exclusives:

My buddy Jason Denham has a little meat locker solution / invention that's coming to market and I thought it would be a good idea to expose it to our audience. I have built a meat locker in the past and it wasn't cheap, so this new idea is intriguing when it comes to saving space and time! I want to encourage any of you listening to consider butchering your own wild game meat going forward! Thanks for listening!

As a bowhunter of 20+ years - my evolution in arrow selection has changed. I used to buy arrows shafts pre-fletched from a big box store and call it good. Eventually I gravitated towards buying shafts and an arrow saw, then started fletching my own arrows. Then, I really dug in on arrow components, arrow spines, nock tuning and bare-shaft tuning. All this lead me down a road of mitigating any potential failure points in my archery equipment, including arrows. Today we're talking to Jason Christensen owner of Ram Products maker of the Ram Spine Tester. We filmed a complete tutorial on how to use their machine and decided to chat about it here for all my archery nerds! Listeners of the ElkShape Podcast Exclusives:

"I was a competitive athlete in my youth. I started my career as an Ironworker at 19 years old. Today I run a large steel erection company. I have been blessed with a beautiful wife of 31 years, this August, and raised two wonderful children. For the last 20 plus years I have focused on being a husband, a father and running my business. While I continue to make them a priority, today I am making time to take on new challenges, such as, Crossfit and opening Invictus Seattle. In 2023, I hope to inspire masters and individuals alike to create their blueprint for success in both CrossFit and life." -Kevin Koester Listeners of the ElkShape Podcast Exclusives:
