Elkshape

Today we’re sitting down with Scott Engles, manager of All Sport Powersports and an avid bowhunter. The guys break down the ongoing shenanigans unfolding in Washington State involving Fish and Game and the Wildlife Commission—where state politics collide head-on with wildlife management and hunter access. They then switch gears and talk gear, as Dan explains how he went from hating all SxS and UTVs to now relying almost exclusively on his Polaris Ranger 1500 for out-west DIY elk hunts in 2025. This episode blends policy, perspective, and practical hunting logistics from the field.
