Podcast 50 – Out Of State Elk Hunting with Beau Martonik

Off

On this episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow podcaster Beau Martonik to talk out of state elk hunting. Beau lives in Pennsylvania and makes a trek west each Fall to chase wapiti with archery attire so we much of the episode is garnered around planning and preparing for a western hunt. Beau also goes into detail on his boots, pack, clothing, and meals for a week-long hunt during archery season in states such as MT, CO, and ID.

We also cover strategy and tactics for finding overlooked spots and how he is mixing it up for the 2019 season. We talk about past successes, failures, and what keeps us coming back for more. Check out some of Beau’s podcast content by visiting www.eastmeetswesthunt.com.
