Return guest Jaden Bales joins me this week and you don't want to miss this one. Jaden is a hunter, writer, guide, and owner of Hunts West, a hunting consulting outfit for the DIY non-resident hunter. In this episode, we talk about the endless learning and nuances that take place each year in the elk woods. This is probably a huge contributer to why so many of us are so drawn to it. Jaden also brings his experience as a Wyoming guide and hunter to the Eastman's MRS Wyoming articles that help both resident and non-residents plan their elk hunts. He is a wealth of information and a solid dude to know, I'm proud to call him a friend. You're going to like this one! Jaden on Instagram Show Sponsors!
