This podcast Dave and Rick discuss all things prepping for another DIY elk trip. Dave has been on a few trips and killed a rag horn bull last season. Rick has never been west and has a ton of questions.
Preparation is important in these trips. Gear becomes important and buying good gear at a good price is key. Foot care can't be overlooked and this goes beyond the boot purchase. Backpack hunting brings its challenges and Dave discusses why this might not be the best tactic right off the start.
 
Topics Discussed:
- Ohio deer and turkey expo
- gear talk
- training for hills
- expectations
- packs and camping 
- Diy whitetail hunters doing better at going west.
