<p>This might just be my favorite elk hunting story I’ve recorded in the last few years—maybe ever. This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Eric Vanderzanden, and he’s back with an absolute all-timer. After nearly two decades of archery hunting general season in Oregon, Eric finally drew one of the state’s most coveted bull elk tags. But this story goes so far beyond a tag. It’s about obsession, preparation, and an unexpected twist of fate. Eric has spent years guiding in this unit—helping others chase down giants, including Governor’s Tag bulls—and built a reputation as one of the go-to guys in Oregon’s “Big Three” units. When it was finally his turn to hold the tag, it came with a powerful story of friendship, legacy, and helping a man with terminal cancer live out his last hunting dream. This is a true 301-level hunt and one you’ll never forget. Do me a favor—share this one with a hunting buddy. It’s that good.</p>

<p>This week on the <strong>Elk Hunt Podcast</strong>, I’m joined by Josh Cooper, an Idaho native and one of the most consistent rifle elk killers you'll find. Josh has a track record of putting down big bulls in his home state—something that's far easier said than done. In this episode, Josh shares the wild story of his best bull to date, taken in an area he knows intimately—where he’s tagged three great bulls within a mile of each other. What he stumbled on this year even left him in disbelief. <br><br><strong>We dig into:</strong> <br>Why hunting the same area hard can turn up what others miss.<br>How their group uses boot leather and glass to cover ground instead of camping deep.<br>Real rifle hunting tactics—from spotting bulls two ranges over to killing two bulls the next day.<br>And why, after their best season ever, they’re switching back to archery this year.<br><br>If you’re a rifle elk hunter looking to level up your consistency, this episode is packed with hard-earned insight and strategy.</p>
