BEST ELK HUNTING CAMP LOCATIONS | HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SPOT FOR SUCCESS | 🎙️ EP. 46
Description
In this episode, we’re tackling a piece of elk hunting strategy most hunters overlook: choosing the right camp location. Your tent isn’t just a place to crash—it’s your base of operations. Where you set camp determines how rested you are, how much ground you can cover, and whether elk even stay in the drainage you’re hunting.
I break down the blueprint for picking camp the smart way, including:
The real purpose of camp: comfort vs. mobility, base vs. spike setups
How close is too close to elk country, and why proximity matters
Terrain and access factors that make or break safety and packouts
Water, firewood, and shelter needs that keep you in the game
How to avoid human pressure and keep your camp invisible
Weather, wildlife, and safety mistakes that can end a hunt early
When to stay stable vs. when to stay mobile with your camp strategy
Hard lessons I’ve learned from both bad and great camp setups
A clear step-by-step action plan for beginners setting camp for the first time
If you’ve ever burned daylight hiking from a poorly placed base camp, blown elk out of a meadow with your tent, or fought through a storm in the wrong spot—you know how critical camp location really is. By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly what to look for, what to avoid, and how to make camp work for you instead of against you.
