In this special episode of the Out of State Hunter Podcast, Chad is joined by Austin and Bo Prieskorn to relive a truly once in a lifetime elk hunt in the mountains of Virginia. After a rare stroke of raffle luck, Bo won a transferable Virginia elk tag from Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in a state where elk are just beginning to make a comeback. Bo was able to gift the tag to his son Austin and that is how this story begins. Virginia reintroduced elk several years ago and the heard has matured to the size that can allow a few tags each year. Bo and Austin were lucky to get their hands on one of the first ever Virginia elk tags and they took the western elk hunting game to the Virginia mountains to find a giant bull elk. It was an amazing journey for Austin and Bo. It started with a once in a lifetime big horn sheep tag in Oregon and include a mule deer, barbary sheep and finally a record book elk in Virginia in only seven days. This is a story you do not want to miss. Austin and Bo tell the story as if it were yesterday even though it was a couple of years ago.
