Elk Talk

Pairing a 10-time World Elk Calling Champion with one of the most recognized public land hunting advocates in America sounds almost unfair, and honestly, it kind of is. Corey Jacobsen and Randy Newberg built Elk Talk specifically to lower the bar for people who want to chase bulls but feel overwhelmed by the learning curve. The result is 169 episodes of focused, practical elk hunting instruction that holds up whether you are planning your first OTC Colorado hunt or your twentieth September in the Bitterroots. Jacobsen is the calling and tactics brain. He breaks down bugling sequences, cow calling setups, and approach strategies with a precision that actually makes sense when you are standing in dark timber at 6 AM trying to remember what you learned. Newberg handles the bigger picture — draw systems, unit selection, public land access, and the conservation side of elk management. Together they cover the full arc from pre-season scouting through post-season analysis. Episodes typically run 45 minutes to 90 minutes and follow a seasonal rhythm, picking up intensity as archery seasons approach and winding down into application strategy talk over winter. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation sponsors the show, and partners like GOHUNT and MTNTOUGH pop up regularly. With a 4.8 rating from over 1,500 reviews, this is the go-to resource for anyone serious about elk hunting on public ground. It is specific, actionable, and refreshingly free of fluff.
