About this episode

Cody Sabol shares his insights on elk hunting from the East Coast, discussing preparation and mindset.

Today Dan sits down with Cody Sabol — an archery elk hunter and dentist from North Carolina with a relentless passion for public land DIY elk hunting. Living thousands of miles from the mountains elk call home hasn’t stopped Cody from finding consistent, year-over-year success out West. In this episode, Cody breaks down the mindset, preparation, and discipline it takes to chase elk from the East Coast — from long-distance planning and physical training to boots-on-the-ground execution. This conversation is packed with practical insight for anyone balancing career, family, and big mountain dreams. If you’ve ever wondered how to make elk hunting happen when you don’t live in elk country — this one’s for you. 💢 Discount Codes 💢 INITIAL ASCENT - 5% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE PODIUMARCHER.COM 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPEhttps://www.podiumarcher.com/collections/all-products-1 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://glnk.io/p9vpq/21r PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.peaxequipment.com/ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://canvascutter.com/ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://wildernessathlete.com/ SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE…
