Dan, who also presented the same seminar two weeks earlier in Phoenix, discussed tactics for hunting during the early “rut” hunt as well as the different techniques required for hunts later in the fall after the rut. His presentation featured numerous video presentations to reinforce his discussion.

Dan, who is a Life Member of the Arizona Elk Society, frequently guides for the Society’s “Hunts for Heroes” and is a strong supporter of the Society. He is a veteran U.S Air Force Officer and co-host of the “Best of the West” TV series as well as being a frequent speaker at numerous wildlife organization events around the country. The White Mountain Chapter of the Arizona Elk Society feels extremely proud that Dan was willing to come to the mountains to pass along his knowledge and expertise to area hunters. If you need an outstanding guide for any hunt in North America, he can be reached at 520-730-8147 or at both www.DiamondOutfitters.com or www.ZeroOutfitters.com
