EP 227: Wapiti Wednesday with Garth Jensen of Huntin Fool




The Rich Outdoors show

Summary: <br> <br> Welcome to Wapiti Wednesday, and what an episode at that. Garth Jensen is an assassin on the mountain from bucks to bulls Garth gets it done. This turned out to be a killer episode and one of my favorites so far this year. Garth had an epic year a couple years back drawing two premium tags, one in Utah and another in Arizona. With the stars aligning in the tag draws the pressure was on. The season proved difficult having to spend 20 days in Utah before even getting a chance to think about his Arizona tag. This episode will get you fired up for the season with a tail of two epic hunts. Garth and I also chat about a fair amount of tactics throughout the show and cover many of the failures and success throughout the struggles he faced. Patience and persistence prevailed and Garth was able to harvest a 350 bull and a 370 bull in the same year. You won’t want to miss this episode!<br> <br> This episode brought to you by <a href="http://www.phelpsgamecalls.com">Phelps Game Calls</a>. 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. <a href="http://www.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.
