Cliff Gray sits down with host Weston Homa this week to break down the mistakes that quietly kill hunts, from bad mountain prep to treating elk hunting like a math problem instead of an art.
Cliff has extensive experience as guide, outfitting roots, and hard-earned backcountry knowledge that brings this conversation to the next level.
Tune in to learn why the best callers aren’t always the best killers, why some bulls react completely differently depending on how close you are, and why many hunters mistake activity for progress.
