Jaryd Bernstein from RPM FLG joins the Out of State Hunter Podcast for a fast-paced “Stories From the Season” recap covering an Arizona archery elk and Kaibab mule deer hunt. After nearly a week of dead elk activity, things flipped fast, Jaryd blew a five-yard encounter when a crow spooked a bull, then regrouped and killed the same bull later that day with a 48 yard shot in the rain. The Kaibab deer hunt felt tougher than past years, likely impacted by fire and pressure, but he eventually killed a nice heavy buck that appeared with almost no warning. Jaryd also shares a frustrating late-rifle elk assist where off-road ATV pressure blew a great bull out of the area. The episode wraps with lessons on staying positive during slow hunts and updates on RPM’s growth and upcoming products.
