On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, Beau Martonik is joined by Ryan Carter of DC Outfitters. Ryan caught my attention a few years ago on Instagram when his clients were killing truly world class bull elk. Ryan and I talk about some timely topics including the lottery system to obtaining tags in the west and how to make your dream hunts happen. In addition, we cover boots on the ground scouting, early season elk hunting tactics, targeting specific bulls, mentors/hunting partners and much more!
