Summary: <br> <br> What’s up girls and boys! You know what time it is, it is Wapiti Wednesday time! Which also means that elk season is fast approaching, or at least we can officially start counting down the days. What better way to get Wapiti Wednesday kicked off for 2018 than to have on a couple of true elkoholics. In this episode of Wapiti Wednesday, I am joined by good friends Andrew Whitney and Pete Muennich. Both of them are Montana transplants that didn’t find out they were obsessed with elk hunting until they got to Montana. We start the episode off with their laughable attempts and chasing bulls in the early years. We talk about the highs and lows as well as they’re an impressive learning curve and some of the tactics they developed along the way. Pete and Andrew have really grown in the last decade and were fortunate enough to have a banner year in 2017 harvest bulls each as well as helping buddies punch their tags as well. Rounding out 2017 with 6 point bull a week during the season. This episode will leave you begging for September to get here faster.

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. <a href="https://phelpsgamecalls.com/">Phelps Game Calls</a> 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. <a href="https://phelpsgamecalls.com/">Phelps Game Calls</a> are finally in stock again, but you better order fast because last year they sold out of a lot of reeds before the season.
