In this episode of the Elk Talk Podcast, Randy and Corey dive deep into the "ditch" of the hunting world, working through rabbit holes that range from the current state of tag applications to the gritty reality of physical fitness as we age.

Then they move onto the "Point Trap," providing a deep dive into the complex math of tag applications across the West. The conversation shifts to a "State of the Union" for elk, then they discuss the critical need for advocacy, specifically discussing the threat of Oregon's "IP 28" initiative.
