Mark has spent most of his life living in the midwest, but chasing elk every year in the west. E-scouting is extremely important for those of us that can\u2019t get \u201cboots on the ground\u201d, so in this episode, we discuss how to develop a strategic hunt plan that will be your playbook for your hunt.
