About this episode
Noble shares his journey from dreaming about elk hunting to successfully hunting a 350-inch bull in Montana.

In today's episode, Dan sits down with Noble, a Montana resident and attendee of the 2026 Elk Immersion Experience, to unpack an incredible journey. Noble shares the lessons learned during his first three years of DIY public land elk hunting, the mistakes that accelerated his learning curve, and the unforgettable story of taking his first bull elk—a mature public land giant that taped out around 350 inches.
