On this week’s show we’re rolling a little differently. We’re going around the horn to hit up our favorite elk hunters to check in on what they have planned for this season and see if they can stoke us up as opening day approaches. We close things out with an awesome interview with Randy Newberg. Always love when he stops by the studio. Enjoy.
