Elk Hunting Update with Ryan Carter
Show Notes:
Ryan Carter stopped by to chat with me at the recent Hunt Expo. Ryan and I go back a long time, and it’s been a while since we last caught up. Ryan’s an elk outfitter in south Utah and heads up DC outfitters. We kick things off by talking about what’s been going on with Howl, which has been taking off like wildfire. I briefly touch on NGOs and the mistrust that sometimes happens with donations.
Next, we get into elk hunting. The last time we spoke, Ryan talked about how he does things differently when he locates bulls, especially around camera usage. Here, he shares how his techniques have changed and his current go-to plan of action. We also talk about how much confidence comes into play, and Ryan shares a story of how he and a client took down a couple of bulls.
I asked Ryan about his bull targeting approach, and he shared all the details. We also talk about client expectations in outfitting versus what’s actually possible, how Ryan keeps track of bulls once the rut starts, and why the amount of effort you put into hunting directly impacts your level of success.
