My job is not only to find the elk but also to help the hunter get to the elk and make the experience as enjoyable as I can for him.” That’s the kind of fella with whom I want to go elk hunting.

The men who have learned their lesson from the PhD deer are videographers, producers, TV hosts, and/or professional hunters.
