Podcast 53 – New Mexico Giant Bull with David Ware

During this episode of the Transition Wild Podcast, I’m joined by returning guest David Ware to recap his 2019 elk hunt in the Gila National Wilderness Area. As you can tell from the photo, this is a once-in-a-lifetime bull, taken with a bow on public land that scores 377-inches.

David is a DIY elk hunter so we cover a lot of his preparation for this hunt when he found out he drew the tag earlier in the year. David walks us through his scouting efforts, running trail cameras, and how he constructed a detailed game plan for the trip. Lastly, David recounts his week-long hunt and the details of how he killed a New Mexico monster!
