"Are you new to Elk Hunting or just looking to build your knowledge? If so, this seminar entitled ElkHunting A-Z offers the opportunity to gain insight and knowledge from one of our Revital volunteers, Bob Terwilliger. Bob grew up in a family with a deep hunting heritage hunting whitetails in western New York State with his Dad and Grandfather from a very young age. Thirty-one years ago, he moved to Colorado for work which offered him the opportunity pursue his lifelong dream of hunting elk! His first 14 years years he spent hunting on his own with success and soon after started guiding. Bob guided full time for 9 seasons, 7 weeks every fall, taught the big game guiding segment of an accredited Outfitter's School and also been in a couple of elk hunting shows, most notable "The Trembling Giant" an elk hunting documentary which aired in September 2014. He occasionally gets asked to do Podcasts on the Elk Hunting as well. While Bob doesn't guide elk hunts full time anymore, he still guides a couple weeks each fall besides hunting on his own and with his family. This will be his 17th year guiding elk hunts and fly fishing, now working for Budge's Wilderness Lodge: https://www.budgeslodge.com/

During this seminar, Bob will cover a wide range of topics including getting started on where to hunt, scouting, locating elk, critical hunt preparations, gear, hunt strategies, calling, and more! This session is meant to be interactive as well, so bring your questions!"

LEVELUP! 2025 IS HERE – AND THIS YEAR, IT’S FREE!

For the past three years, LevelUP! has been a game-changer for responders across the metro area, bringing connection, knowledge, and resources to those who serve. But this year, we’re making our biggest shift yet. Not only are we bringing the conference to you with two separate one-day events across the state—but for the first time ever, LevelUP! is completely FREE for all responders, professional staff, and their families!

This Year’s Theme: THRIVE, NOT SURVIVE 
It’s easy to get stuck in the routine of life—showing up, getting through the day, and repeating the cycle. But what if that routine is holding you back from being the best version of yourself? This year, we’re challenging you to break free from survival mode and step into a mindset of growth, resilience, and fulfillment.

Two locations. One mission. Zero cost.
We’re committed to making sure every responder—regardless of role or location—has access to the tools, knowledge, and community needed to thrive. Whether you’re in law enforcement, fire, EMS, dispatch, corrections, or beyond, LevelUP! 2025 is your chance to learn, grow, and connect at no cost to you.

 Conference Dates & Locations:
 Fort Collins – May 12th, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM @ Larimer County Sheriff's Office
