    Ep. 147: Elk Hunting Q&A with The Bugler
    Jul 24 2025

    Dirk asked his Instagram followers to send questions regarding elk hunting. No surprise there were some smartypants questions, and some really good serious ones as well. He covers: why the Maverick diaphragm is so much better than the Pink Phelps, early season calling tactics, this year's broad head of choice, sleep talking, best calls NOT to make, optimizing your elk chuckles, stick with cow calls or switch to bugles when you get a bull to respond, calling to bulls that hang up and or run away, and more.

Remi is entertaining and enjoyable to listen to, but the highly qualified knowlede and wisdom he freely shares is so incredibly valuable. I highly recommend Cutting the Distance for any hunter wanting to improve, or anyone interested in getting into hunting.

Fantastic - well put together, very informative. Remi mixes his incredible knowledge with anecdotes and a no-nonsense approach to the topic of predators. Highly recommended.
