Dan sits down for a full, unfiltered debrief of his 2025 elk season — every win, every mistake, and every hard-earned lesson from weeks in the mountains. This episode is a raw, day-by-day breakdown of what went right, what went wrong, and what he’ll do differently next year. From close encounters and blown stalks to pack-outs, weather, mindset, and the grind that defines September — it’s all here. If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on behind the camera, this is Dan’s most transparent recap yet. Whether you tagged out or came home empty-handed, this one’s for every hunter who gives everything for the mountain. Tune in, take notes, and start preparing for next year — because the slate’s already been wiped clean. You haven’t killed an elk in 2026.   💢 Discount Codes 💢   BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ VORTEX WEAR | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ BLACK OVIS | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Basekamp Quarter Pad | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ CrossOver Symmetry | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Stealth Cam | 20% Off Code (non-cellular): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE20⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MAGVIEW | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MY MEDIC | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ GORUCK | LINK TO ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SHOP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE20⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   🚨Video Production🚨 A CAM - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SONY A1 BODY⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ B CAM - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ SONY ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LONG LENS 70-200MM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ WIRELESS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DJI MIC 2⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ STUDIO LENS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠24-70MM ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DJI DRONE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DJI ACTION 4⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
