We Knew Where the Elk Were… And Still Messed It Up Ep 4

We were in elk… like really in elk—and still couldn’t seal the deal. This episode of the Addicted Hunting Podcast is a rollercoaster of close calls, tough decisions, and straight-up hunting frustration. From a herd of 27 elk to bulls screaming just out of reach, we had opportunity after opportunity… and couldn’t capitalize. If you’ve ever had a hunt where everything should’ve come together but didn’t, this is that story. We break down what went wrong, what we learned, and why sometimes the hardest part of hunting isn’t finding animals—it’s making the right call when it matters most. In this episode: • In-season elk hunt recap (Washington) • Getting within 70 yards of elk •The decision that changed everything • Bulls bugling and disappearing • Missed opportunities and hard lessons • Shot placement, distance, and ethics • Hunting pressure and changing elk behavior • “Expect the unexpected” moments
