A native of Idaho, he has spent his life perfecting his craft and chasing screaming bulls with great success. Dirk is also the marketing manager for Phelps Game Calls, co-host of the Cutting the Distance Podcast, and creates all of the amazing films you see on his own You Tube Channel. His latest, Ghost Bulls of the North, is a great watch.
While we do talk bugling in this episode, the initial part of our conversation focused around the evolution of wolves in Idaho, how they were introduced, how they have evolved, and the impact they have had on the Idaho elk population and hunting.
In addition, we discussed the Idaho draw process, how to hunt really nasty terrain, and ways to navigate the increased pressure caused by new hunters. Part of our conversation focused around the sense of solitude we enjoy as hunters that is more and more being threatened by the rise in popularity of western hunting as well as the changes of etiquette among hunters on the mountain.
And of course we talked about bugling, the development of the Phelps Maverick call, and other good elk calling stuff.
This was my first time having Dirk on the podcast and I hope to have him back in the future. He is one of those guys who, after just speaking for a few minutes, I recognized as a truly genuine person and someone I hope to spend more time with in the future.
Thank you Dirk for joining me. It was a privilege. I hope ya'll enjoy this conversation.
