Jaden always packs a punch when coming on the show, and he brings some fresh ideas for this one. In this episode, Jaden and I discuss an often overlooked topic; how to scout for your upcoming elk season. He breaks down how he approaches his scouting opportunities into a three part process that pays dividends once elk season starts.
