Scenario-Based Training
Years of Experience in Just Days
What sets this instruction apart is the reps. We put you in realistic elk hunting scenarios that compress years of hard-earned experience into just a few days.
You’ll run full stalk setups—planning, moving, and executing like it’s the real thing—whether you’re carrying a rifle or a bow. You’ll build and test field-ready shooting platforms, learning how to use natural rests and adapt to the exact conditions in front of you. And you’ll work through high-pressure call-in situations: bulls, cows, bedded elk—every setup you’re likely to face. These are fully curated experiences based on scenarios we have dealt with dozens of times in the field.
After each rep, we debrief. You get immediate, expert feedback so you can adjust, refine, and lock in what works. It’s the closest thing to adding four to six seasons of hunting experience to your belt—without the four to six years of hunting.
This trip includes time in the field but does not include hunting – For seminars that include a hunt check these out.
