Welcome to the first installment of the School of September, 2023!! With September only months away, the time to build your toolbox of knowledge is now. Consistently successful elk hunters all have one thing in common; they know elk, they know behavior, they know vocalizations, and they know the country elk live in! In this episode, Dirk Durham of Phelps Game Calls joins me. We talk about his strategy of leaving the truck, using a locator bugle to find a bull, and what he does once he elicits a response from a horn heavy wapiti. Dirk is a lifelong elk hunter, world champion elk caller, and has made a career in the hunting industry. His demeanor and outgoing personality make him the perfect fit to talk elk hunting, and he's one of my favorite guests on this series and my show! You don't want to miss this episode!
