Before going live on YouTube for an open Q&A, Dan sits down to share a few thoughts from a recent Montana scouting trip and what he learned after putting boots on the ground in elk country. He also discusses why trail cameras can be an incredibly valuable scouting tool—but why they are far from a requirement for consistently finding and harvesting elk. Finally, Dan shares his perspective on the recent controversy surrounding Aron Snyder, the coyote video, and Born Primitive Outdoor's decision to part ways with him. Rather than adding fuel to the fire, Dan discusses the importance of personal responsibility, the spotlight hunters live under, and why extending grace while staying focused on what truly matters is a healthier path forward. After that, it's all about you. Dan goes live to answer viewer questions covering elk hunting, archery, fitness, gear, scouting, and whatever else the audience throws his way. Whether you're preparing for your first western hunt or chasing your best season yet, there's plenty of practical insight packed into this episode. 💢 Discount Codes 💢 INITIAL ASCENT - 5% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE PODIUMARCHER.COM 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE https://www.podiumarcher.com/collections/all-products-1 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://glnk.io/p9vpq/21r PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.peaxequipment.com/ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://canvascutter.com/ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://wildernessathlete.com/ SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/SheepFeet onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/ONXHUNT OLLIN | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://ollin.co/collections/snapshot DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: E…","meta_description":"Today's episode starts a little differently.
