Oh, and we’re making a film about it too. On this show, you’ll hear Adam and a crew of buddies talking about their elk hunting plans for the fall…along with some good old fashioned BS-ing and sh!t talking. @nmo @drmattwarddc @petergutsche --------------------------- If you are not a member of WSF, it’s time to join the best managed conservation organization on the planet.
