Wednesday, 19 March, 2025

Welcome back to another week! In today's episode, Alex Comstock and Jeremy Lopez welcome Dan Staton of ElkShape. Dan is the founder of ElkShape and has been bowhunting elk and deer for over 25 years. He has decades of experience in the field and has killed dozens of mature bucks and bulls. Join us as Dan covers how ElkShape came to life and his mission to sell hard work through content creation. Dan dives into his bowhunting journey from shooting his first whitetail in deer camp with his dad to eventually quitting jobs so he can hunt elk the whole month of September. Through and through, Dan nerds out on archery and is constantly tinkering to build the most confidence in his setup. The guys chat about the evolution of ElkShape Camps to formulate the new Elk Immersion experience, which is designed to shorten the learning curve for elk hunters, giving them all the tools they need to be successful in the field. Dan shares his unique perspective on why whitetail hunting is so fascinating and how it will always be his favorite hunt. He discusses the challenges of hunting the rugged mountains of North Idaho. The guys dive into saddle hunting for elk and why it can be an effective tactic. Lastly, Dan shares his advice on balancing family life with his passion for hunting, offering advice on how to strike a healthy relationship while staying focused on your craft. Whether you're chasing elk or whitetails, this episode is a great conversation between passionate bowhunters. Enjoy the show!
