In today’s episode Jason is joined by Dirk Durham.  Dirk Durham is a world champion elk caller but more importantly has a ton of experience out in the woods where the elk are the judges.  Rather than sounding perfect the elk care more about timing, delivery and intensity of the calls.   They center today’s discussion around a lot of the decisions that are involved when calling an elk.  How do they determine whether to be aggressive or not, what specific calls they make and use while hunting, incorporating cow calls in the setups, and a bunch more.
