Elk Prep, Plains Whitetail Tactics, & E-Scouting Travel Hunts
Today’s guest is K.C. Smith — a bowhunter, storyteller, and one of the voices behind The Element. K.C. and his co-host Tyler Jones have built a loyal following by documenting their hunts on public land, offering real strategies, and keeping things honest and relatable.
In this episode, we dig into what K.C.’s doing to get ready for elk season this fall, how he breaks down plains-state whitetail hunts, and the role e-scouting plays when you’re traveling out of state.
We also get into arrow setups — the trend away from heavy towards light and fast, what he's shooting, and why accuracy matters more than any of the other stuff most people like to debate about arrows.
Whether you’re new to the DIY hunt scene or you’ve been at it for years, this conversation is packed with takeaways and perspective from someone who lives it every day. You can check out K.C. and the crew on The Element Podcast — available on all major platforms — and watch their hunts and gear breakdowns on https://www.youtube.com/@TheElementWild
