When this pair of blue-collar Michigan hunters hits the road for their first archery elk hunt, their destination is a unit in mountainous northern Idaho. Their plan? Pick up over-the-counter tags and see what happens.

After 33 hours of driving, countless attempts to perfect their elk calling, and an awkward urinal conversation, these first-timers are traversing peaks and gullies on their do-it-yourself hunt. Swarms of angry bees, a handy fanny pack, and an 800 lb. monster bull await them on this wild adventure.

In this episode of The Slayer Hunting Podcast, Tagged Outdoors Media's Art'om Rank and Mitchell Langer talk with Slayer Calls' Bill Ayer and Tommy Sessions about waterfowling, fishing and their group's mission to "Hunt as One."
