Mark Livesay - A Strategic Mindset in the Mountains and in Life

Mark Livesay is the founder of Treeline Pursuits and the creator of Treeline Academy. In general, Mark is a “all in” type of person as seen through his triathlon career (10 Ironman finishes), the formation of his event production company Ultramax Sports, and most significantly in his life-long hunting pursuits.

He spent his first two elk hunting decades traveling from Missouri to the western states. He would definitely qualify as a serial elk hunter, pursuing elk in multiple western states, and spending 75+ days in the backcountry each season. His 30 years of elk hunting have given him a thorough understanding of the challenges associated with E-Scouting and finding elk.

Recently, he has been featured as a guest on a growing list of hunting’s best podcasts, including The Rich Outdoors, Eastmans Elevated, Hunt Harvest Health, The Gritty Podcast, Elk Shape, Backcountry Rookies, Publically Challenged, Shoot'n The Bull, and many others. His E-Scouting podcasts on the Rich Outdoors were among the podcast’s most downloaded episodes in 2019.

He has published several elk hunting strategy articles and has been invited to present E-Scouting tactics at the Western Hunting Summit and Elk Shape Camps.

Mark and his wife, Amy, moved to Montana in 2016 and have never looked back. They share their Missoula home with their two children, Eli and Emme, and a gaggle of pack llamas. The growing herd of Ccara pack llamas is now a vital part of his public land, do-it-yourself hunting arsenal.
