In this episode of the Out of State Hunter Podcast, Chad talks with Jason Holiday, host of the Harvest Holliday Podcast. Jason shares why he made the tough decision to skip elk season this year to focus on studying for an important exam, and how family conversations helped shape that choice. He offers valuable advice for new elk hunters, like the importance of rest, hydration, and soaking in the full experience rather than just chasing a tag. With elk on hold, Jason is shifting his focus to whitetail season in Ohio, where he’s excited to put cell cameras and public land scouting to work. Though he’ll miss the mountains this fall, Jason looks forward to returning next season with fresh energy and a deeper appreciation for the hunt.

In this special episode of the Out of State Hunter Podcast, Chad is joined by Austin and Bo Prieskorn to relive a truly once in a lifetime elk hunt in the mountains of Virginia. After a rare stroke of raffle luck, Bo won a transferable Virginia elk tag from Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in a state where elk are just beginning to make a comeback. Bo was able to gift the tag to his son Austin and that is how this story begins.

Virginia reintroduced elk several years ago and the heard has matured to the size that can allow a few tags each year. Bo and Austin were lucky to get their hands on one of the first ever Virginia elk tags and they took the western elk hunting game to the Virginia mountains to find a giant bull elk.

It was an amazing journey for Austin and Bo. It started with a once in a lifetime big horn sheep tag in Oregon and include a mule deer, barbary sheep and finally a record book elk in Virginia in only seven days. This is a story you do not want to miss. Austin and Bo tell the story as if it were yesterday even though it was a couple of years ago.
