The principal focus of this podcast episode is the strategic approach to applying for hunting tags, emphasizing the importance of diversifying applications across various units. I elucidate the risks associated with consolidating all points into a single marquee unit, which may ultimately result in an unfulfilled season. Instead, I advocate for a more judicious distribution of applications, suggesting that hunters should consider a guaranteed draw unit, a mid-tier unit, and their coveted dream tag. This method not only enhances the likelihood of securing a tag but also ensures a more gratifying experience in the field. Ultimately, I contend that spending a season on the mountain, even in a secondary unit, is preferable to the uncertainty of awaiting results year after year.
