Paul Medel has spent a lifetime learning as much as he can about elk. From the time he first heard a bugle on a tape as a young man, he knew he had to know more and that’s what he set out to do. For over 20 years, Paul has been educating people on the ins and outs of how elk talk to each other and has helped countless hunters notch a tag during the fall hunting seasons.
This episode isn’t about hunting though. It’s about Paul and his passion for elk and elk calling. Even if you don’t hunt elk or know nothing about it at all, I think you’ll have a hard time not smiling from ear to ear while you hear Paul talk about why he loves calling elk so much. His energy is contagious and his passion is deep.
I believe it is good for us to learn as much as we can about the world around us. Even if you never blow through an elk call or hunt them in the fall, knowing what they sound like and what they mean when they make that sound puts you in a unique position to become PART OF THE WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE. Elk are incredible creatures and the sounds they make are even more incredible. By the end of this episode, you might actually find yourself wanting to try calling one in yourself even if only to take a closer look.
Enjoy!
