Elkshape

Dan sits down for a full, unfiltered debrief of his 2025 elk season — every win, every mistake, and every hard-earned lesson from weeks in the mountains. This episode is a raw, day-by-day breakdown of what went right, what went wrong, and what he’ll do differently next year. From close encounters and blown stalks to pack-outs, weather, mindset, and the grind that defines September — it’s all here. If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on behind the camera, this is Dan’s most transparent recap yet. Whether you tagged out or came home empty-handed, this one’s for every hunter who gives everything for the mountain. Tune in, take notes, and start preparing for next year — because the slate’s already been wiped clean. You haven’t killed an elk in 2026.
