This Elk TACTIC Changed Everything!

[@elkchaser]

“Color doesn’t really matter to me, honestly”…but I’m wearing a Multicam T-Shirt and hat… 😂 😂 😂. That setup looks sweet and I like the bear spray holster underneath as well!!

[@ElkShape]

Lol exactly

[@jameskoontz5220]

Very honorable of you, Jake. A true quality hunting buddy by letting Tim have the coyote color.

[@ElkShape]

Jake is very honorable for sure but I’ll still take him down next time we hit the table - tc

[@steven_farmer89]

Great video, and better tips. Went to a seminar with Jason Phelps and he is preaching the same stuff, so this must be the winning formula. I have recently been looking at the Marsupial gear, after your podcast, its on the list of gear to buy. See you guys at TAC this week!

[@brettwelch8368]

great video, I got a marsupial gear bino harness last year and I am loving it so far! I was once told that deer (or elk) have to be lucky every minute of every day, you just have to be lucky once. when I was getting frustrated not seeing any deer my first time bow hunting. that stuck with me and keeps me going if im starting to get down. Tim, I have the vortex diamondback 10x50 and love them! they are the best all around power (IMO) and with the 50mm objective they gather a bunch of light and my FOV is great.

[@joelsalmon6643]

I have been looking for these for a long time. Had no idea what the name was. Awesome review!

[@ElkShape]

Thanks G!

[@cozycare1655]

Multi-cam gang! Marsupial all the way. Hand made in the USA and their sizing info is accurate. Solid uploads gents! 😎🤙🏽

[@tfrost33elkhunter]

Never ending quality right here. Thanks for doing the great work fellas!

[@jesselost05420]

I do the same thing as Jake, my bino harness is loaded. The Marsupial gear is the best. I've used multiple harnesses and Marsupial gear wins all day.

[@vancejohnson1778]

Awesome tips and some sweet looking gear! We are in crunch time now!

[@drested1793]

Wow!!! I could not imagine giving up my AGC harness.

[@chrisnguyen2760]

Guys keep up the great work. Love your honest reviews and passionate content. Because of your review I bought and just received my marsupial enclosed chest pack with the buckle delete kit. For those of you who want the pack to ride higher up on your chest and/or for a more slim profile get the buckle delete kit. Works great.

[@Whodeltit]

Great info and video I'm right on the Oregon coast these tactics don't work here but it's good to have the knowledge thank you

[@Farmersforever1993]

I have the Magview phone scope also and it’s awesome. What I really like about them is you don’t have to have special cases for your phone. Absolutely great.

[@ElkShape]

Totally agree!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Definitely some good advice on hunting herd bulls. I have yet to go elk hunting but I know from turkey 🦃 hunting that I can’t run a diaphragm call. So sneaky it is, even with the Phelps EZ Bugle and SukR now available for guys like me. Congratulations to Jake for being the bigger man and taking the multi cam even with Tim’s trash talking afterwards. Lol 😆 It’s interesting how similar products come out at the same time. With two digiscope products in this Magview and the Ollin that Eric Chesser is promoting. Competition is always good. 😎🏹🇺🇸

[@stevenpritchard4427]

I have bad lands bino case and I love it. I wear it up high as well.

[@toothlessarcher]

The closest I was to elk was day before opening day 2006. 80 yards from 30 of them. But we waited and never got that close again over the next 4 years before I had to give it up. People I hunted with were not patient at all. Constantly calling and moving to the next area. I’d love to go with you guys once to get that thrill!

[@justanham2189]

In total agreement with you! Too many people don’t play the patient game and call way less.

[@chetmanley2883]

I just went from the marsupial harness to the stone glacier harness, reason being is the magnets. I had several occasions last year deep in the back country that the magnets were messing with my GPS’s compass and would have to hold my phone about an arms length away from my body before it would correctly align. I moved to a non magnet setup for this year.

[@Bowhunter66]

Another cool video. Tim those binoculars looked like the Leupold Cascades. If that's what they are nothing wrong with them at all. I've been running mine for over 10 years and there still a great piece of glass. I know there's newer but unless your stepping up to some Swarovski's spend your money on something else. Newer is not always better or substantially better that you need to run out and get the latest and greatest. My buddy has Swarovski's and I always out glass him with my Cascade's. It just might not be the glass but the nut behind the glass.

[@brucescott7023]

Definitely going to look into that magview scope adapter always need new gadgets. Tim you said about looking into Bino's would it be budget to mid price. That would be really cool info...

[@Gibsonlife573]

Good job guys you all on your way hard work pays big

[@ElkShape]

Thank you

[@bucksbullsandbroadheads6615]

Great video! I would put a release back there Tim, or wind indicator. Something small like that. I usually run a badlands version of that but I agree that's the best way to go. I love this video, you all are amazing.

[@ElkShape]

Thanks G

[@leroyjones769]

Ooohhh man that was good stuff…thanks a TON!!!

[@ElkShape]

Thanks for watching G!

[@justinroethel7424]

Keep up the good work guys, you've become as regular as the evening news at my place! Always Be Elk Shaping' #EBES

[@WildTines]

I was very fortunate to see these in person at Bull Basin Archery in flagstaff and immediately knew I had to get one! The olive green and coyote brown are sick colorways! Interestingly enough I seen mystery ranch with a very “SIMILIAR” design. I’ll stick to marsupial that’s for sure.

[@dlawrence9174]

Interesting advice on calling less. Quite different than the approach taken by Cory Jacobson (Elk 101), the Born and Raised Outdoors crew, and Dirk Durham, and Phelps! Even though they are expert callers, the idea of engaging bulls in a manner that triggers aggression is well founded

[@stanthebamafan]

Marsupial makes the best bino harnesses and pouches. They’re located a few miles from my house in Phoenix. I was using their gear for a year before I even realized that.

[@tjames525]

I love the Marsupial enclosed harness with rangefinder pouch and small zippered pouch. I have a Nikon black rangefinder and the standard size rangefinder pouch was way too tight for my liking so I had to order the large pouch. Pretty awesome setup now if only they would get their rain covers in stock.

[@fishingwithphil2582]

Ok first marsupial gear is amazing. Next how long will you actually glass elk before making a move? I appreciated the comment that it takes time. Lastly the editing in this video is awesome! I love the transitions and different content blended together. Excellent work men!

[@ElkShape]

Credit to Dan on this edit!

[@tuckercase]

Another fantastic video. Thanks gents for the good nuggets of info.

[@ElkShape]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@mav22100]

Tim, try out the Maven 10X42 or 11X45. Maven has a demo program to try out optics for a couple weeks. Great way to actually test in the field in all conditions. I am also running the Marsupial enclosed bino harness. Great info in the video as always boys! keep up the good work!!

[@azevedojeff]

Great content. Id be curious to see Jakes honest opinion on gear storage capacity between the Marsupial vs the AGC harness. Marsupials are slick, but harder to hold your EXTRA necessities it seems. Also that Magview looks like a great piece of gear, has the sun reflection through the gap been a problem? Lastly dont throw away old gear, gotta have backups for your backups ya know. Thanks gentlemen.

[@ElkShape]

there is definitely more gear storage in the AGC harness.. it just rides low and was more storage than needed

[@spencersecord3073]

I always recommend marsupial gear for a harness. Their customer service has been awesome!

[@ElkShape]

$$$

[@tylermoline8362]

It’s a mag view commercial!!!! Take my money

[@denhamfamilyadventures4150]

I think slim lined works!

[@richardcupo]

I know they make a few different compartment sizes for the main bino, but would you recommend to just get the large. I only ask because those look like the large bino pouches.

[@chrisnguyen2760]

What size Marsupial zipper pouch are you guys getting. Small or large and why?

[@mattthadd4663]

The mesh side on the back holds a couple snack bars for me.

[@DB.KOOPER]

Love my Marsupial gear. IMO the holster is a bad idea though. I carry a 10mm G20 and I just run my IWB CCW rig. The gun weighs too much to mount under there and sucks if you have to move quickly and on long hikes bouncing around as it does. Bear spray or an IFAK is a better option for that bottom lash point.

[@ElkShape]

Good call

[@kodiakfisher]

exit pupil size early vs late light. 10x42 has 4.2 exit pupil your young eyes can dilate to 5.5. 8x40 with exit pupil of 5 delivers almost as much light as your eyes can use early and late. I find I can see a bit better early and late with an 8x42.

[@TriggerJitsu]

Jake, curious what 10x42 binos and rangefinder you’re using today?

[@ryanmoeller3308]

I recently bought a pair of Vortex Razor UHD 12x50 binoculars and the harness they came with isn't bad, but I definitely will be checking out the Marsupial setup!! Keep up the GREAT work! Much respect and support from Yuma, AZ.👍👍

[@ryanmoeller3308]

@Akay That is very true about the top. I was climbing up a rocky hill out here to do some glassing and I had to keep a constant watch on the harness cause the top kept wanting to open

[@hoganfan2006]

Did you go with a Marsupial rig for those binos? How’s it working out?

[@freddiecontreras6089]

What sight are you sporting on your bow in this video?

[@07kdjohnson1]

Does the magnet on the phone mess with GPS on phone at all?

[@danjssp]

Tim, try the Maven B.2’s in whichever power you want. Trust.

[@Fluxxcapacitor52]

What quiver set up are you using in this video?

[@chrisnguyen2760]

I would like to get this bino harness and pouches but boy it adds up fast. Any sales anywhere?

[@lostntinz406]

I put the calls away 15 yrs ago...so I guess i'm ahead of the curve

[@lostntinz406]

@Akay Its the only way to go if you wanna kill the herd bull. If you just wanna kill any bull then get those calls out and start honking. Ive been hunting elk for 27 yrs killed over 20 bulls all montana public land. Ive made every mistake there is to make and Ive learned alot of valuable lessons along the way. Im no corey jacobson at calling either so I play to my strengths!! Good luck to u this upcoming season!

[@dreaneau]

Love the video and content as always. 2 questions Tim: 1. what is that small bear spray that Jake showed? 2. Tim if you are serious about new Bino’s I would love to purchase your old one’s if interested… I don’t have any yet & this’ll be my first season! DM me if interested 🤷‍♂️

[@timsmith3548]

What size of harness did you guys order ?

[@interestedmeow]

Glassing is great….if you hunt in areas you can glass. Got any advise for dark timber and flat, dense boreal forest hunting??

[@gremnutl]

Not from personal hunting experience in those environments, but just what I learned when researching what binos I wanted. They work really well for picking animals out and separating them from the surrounding vegetation, so hunting in forests they are just as useful. I would suggest get lower powered binoculars because you aren't going for huge distances, and ones with a larger objective lens which means more light passed through to your eye which will help in darker woods (look up binocular exit pupil)

[@BackcountrySportsman]

what binos do you have and what size pack did you get for it?

[@robbiewilson7907]

What size harness are you guys running? Medium or large?

[@TheChuckler12]

Would the mag view work with an iPhone that has a built in magnet in the case?

[@harrisonharding]

How's the magnaview product working out for you?

[@myronriggs9613]

What brand is your binoculars?

[@bigz5262]

Probably vortex

[@justingarant9367]

Could I purchase one of those harnesses off you, but it needs to have all of the ElkShape crews signatures on it 😁

[@pullnfeatherspodcast2783]

Check out Maven Optics man to each there own but man I love mine. Keep it up Tim !

[@baseballcrazy2914]

Dan! Great informational video. Right now I’m running the Vortex bino harness and I hate that the straps loosen up throughout the day while hiking around. Does the marsupial gear bino harness have this problem? If not, this set up will have to be on my wish list

[@grayskyoutdoors1592]

Not affiliated with this page but I run a marsupial gear harness and have had no such problem. It's very well made.

[@adamsmith4878]

Tim,you gonna do a give away on that old wore out harness?load it up send it out? somebody on here would run it for years n years.

[@ElkShape]

Good idea

[@adamsmith4878]

count me in!!! lol

[@mayberrylc331]

I was initially unsure about how a bino harness would work for me due to shorter draw length and string angle, but once I started shooting with one I would not go back to hunting without it.

[@ElkShape]

Word!

[@obionewheelkenobi689]

Is it easier to find animals with your phone on the spotter?

[@westtexbowhunting]

I’ve got a quick question about the mag view what’s the durability like with them does your phone fall off and are you 100% confident in how it’s made I’ve been eyeing them up for a while now I’m just looking at the binoculars set tho unfortunately I’m to poor for a spotters scope lol 😂

[@edricheson]

Can you do a video on wasting disease?

[@widowmakeraz]

What belt quiver is Dan running?

[@ElkShape]

Kifaru Hip Quiver

[@Nakai2024]

Can I please have your old harness and Binoculars :)

[@notlocw]

Like this one boys!

[@ElkShape]

Thanks G!

[@scottgulden7035]

Jake had extra leverage by grabbing edge of table, lol

[@ElkShape]

I thought so too - tc

[@jeffcopenhaver2217]

You don’t have to be a world champion caller to call animals in. Knowing what call and when to use it are the keys to success. Not all animals of the same species sound identical. I’ve heard some calls I thought sounded like shit and whoever made that call didn’t have a clue, but it turned out to be the real deal.

[@notlocw]

Side note. Got my elkshape stabilizer in finally FREAKING GAME CHANGER GUYS! If you don’t have them get them # elkshape fam!!

[@D.white7832]

Can’t compare an old style alaska guide creations to a marsupial. If you want to compare make a “AGC RAVUS” vs the MARSUPIAL.

[@christopheracosta9823]

Brooooo where's the TAC Videos ???????

[@ElkShape]

We haven't been to TAC yet bro - soon though!

[@5peatAZ]

Swarovski NL Pure all the way

[@BranNew1]

I want a marsupial.. 🙌

[@ElkShape]

They’re great

[@kylebailey8498]

Them broadheads will make you curse

[@timbow50]

Which TAC are you guys going to? Where MFJJ is supposed to kick you guys ass!,

[@ElkShape]

Big sky mt

[@Gibsonlife573]

Not trying to sound like a d*** at all cause I love you and I love what you do whatever watched yourself back shooting doesn't seem like you only draw with one arm instead of like a push pull method and also I don't know if it's this the way the camera looks what it looks like to me your front shoulder is kind to creep it up in your neck it maybe it just looks like that cause you're trying to lean it out a little bit to keep away from that bino harness

[@dennybirchfield]

Should have gave them awY the old ones

[@stevenpritchard4427]

He should have not thrown away his old binocular case.he could have gave it to someone less fortunate.
