Episode 65 The Bugle That Started It All: How a Hunt Sparked the ElkNut App

Ryan shares the story behind the hunt that changed everything—the first time he and Taylor experienced screaming bulls up close during an archery elk hunt. With zero background in calling and a rifle-hunting mindset, the adrenaline of bugling bulls at 50 yards lit a fire to learn elk language. That pursuit led them to Paul Medel—aka the ElkNut—and ultimately to the creation of the ElkNut App. This episode dives into that origin story, beginner lessons, and the passion behind learning to call.
