Hey All, Welcome to Wapiti Wednesday. A Couple weeks ago I got the chance to head down to Colorado and turkey hunt with my all-time favorite elk hunter. I grew up obsessing over elk, watching Wayne Carlton hunting videos. So to get the chance to not only go turkey hunting with my personal hunting hero but to sit on the back porch and listen to stories with Wayne and his son Marc was pretty amazing. Once you get Wayne telling stories they just keep getting better and better. In fact, we ended up splitting this into two parts and will release the second half tomorrow morning. I really hope you guys enjoy joining me on Wayne Carlton’s back porch for some great elk hunting stories.

This episode brought to you by Phelps Game Calls. If you fancy yourself an elk hunter and don’t have some Phelps amp diaphragms in your bag of tools, you are not doing it right. Take it from me I have tested nearly every, if not every diaphragm on the market past and present and these things are hands down far and away the best there is. Phelps game calls are consistent which is one thing I drive me nuts about other calls. Jason Phelps the owner is an amazing elk caller for one, but more importantly he a brilliant engineer, and obsessive about quality, which makes his calls consistent and super high quality. If you haven’t been able to use a diaphragm call before, first off you need to learn, and second buy yourself a few amp frames to learn on these are far and away the easiest calls to learn on. I don’t care what anyone says being able to call will make you a better hunter. doesn’t mean you gotta call all the time, but having the ability can mean the difference in a week-long hiking trip and eating elk steaks all winter. I prefer the ladder. Phelps Game Calls are finally in stock again, but you better order fast because last year they sold out of a lot of reeds before the season.
