Hunting Roosevelt Elk in the PNW with Rene Ramos
Show Notes:
The Roosevelt elk is also known as the Olympic elk or Roosevelt’s wapiti, and it lives in the Pacific Northwest area, stretching down to Northern California and up to Washington. I’ve hunted for them before, so I have some experience, but it’s nothing compared to Rene Ramos’s experience.
As a native Oregonian, Rene has spent his entire life hunting in his backyard, and he’s focused all of his attention there. Because he’s grown up in the area, he’s gotten to know the herds. He likes stalking, tracking, and paying attention to the signs in nature instead of relying on calling to hunt.
We talk about the black-tailed deer that live in that area, which is almost like my nemesis, and Rene shares his current hunting strategy. It’s pretty amazing that one area can hold a hunter’s attention for that long, and it’s cool to see Rene’s enthusiasm for Western Oregon.
If you loved this episode, don’t keep us a secret. Like us, share us, and leave us a review so that we can continue to bring you hunting stories and strategies from folks in the field who love sharing their knowledge.
I still have some space left on the guided hunts I’m doing this year, so let’s connect on my website. There’s never been a better time to get out into the wild and see this beautiful country.
