Summary: <br> <br> Welcome to Wapiti Wednesday. Today’s episode is a gold mine. Verlyn Savage is one of those guys that just absolutely gets it done every year. He has harvest 6 points in both Idaho and Oregon for nearly 20 years straight now. That’s right not only does he get a bull every year but he gets two bulls every year. We dive into everything from elk behavior, to calling, to how to hunt as a team. Verlyn is one hell of a guy that is not afraid to get after it even in his 50’s. Verlyn and his hunting partner have quite the system and operate very well together. A couple years back they even managed to find and kill an all elusive 400” public land bull. The kind of bull that every DIY elk hunters dreams are made of. Just listening to the story will get you fired up and ready to hit the mountain to scout. I could talk elk hunting and listen to him tell elk hunting stories for hours. Hope you guys enjoy. Happy Wapiti Wednesday!<br> <br> This episode brought to you by <a href="http://www.phelpsgamecalls.com">Phelps Game Calls</a>. 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.
