Spike Camp Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

For the final night of Elk Camp we are joined by Dylan Eyers of EatWild to discuss strategic early season elk hunting. Dylan consistently finds success hunting bull elk during the early season of September which can be a bit unique for some of us who hunt later September and beyond. On the livestream Dylan spoke about how he finds elk, hunting strategies, pros & challenges of early season elk hunting, and meat care in hot weather.

Dylan Eyers is the owner of EatWild. EatWild was founded with the understanding that most urban folk don’t have this network of hunting and wilderness mentors. EatWild's mission is to provide this community to the growing number of people who are interested in eating wild, organic and ethical foods. Dylan hosts an excellent hunting podcast for those interested.

To kick off International Camp we have Nolan Wannop (WSSBC Platinum Monarch Member) joining us to talk about hunting in South Africa. Nolan took his family to South Africa last year for an extraordinary adventure, one that we made sure to spend time on and discuss.

We got into the details and logistics with Nolan about his hunting trip, hopefully we answered some of your questions and educated on the process of planning an international hunt. Unfortunately Riaan Jacobs (Bosveld Jacobs Safaris) was unable to make this show as originally scheduled, thankfully Nolan stepped up and led the conversation with Chuck on his experience hunting in South Africa. Enjoy!
