Trail Kreitzer from goHunt joins us again on the Big Game Hunting Podcast today and we're going to go into detail about the first group of western big game application options. Specifically, we'll discuss the Wyoming elk draw, the Arizona elk/pronghorn draw, the Utah draw for all species, the Montana deer/elk draw, and the New Mexico draw for all species. We'll briefly cover the overall prospects for each draw in order to give you an idea if each individual draw is something that's worth investigating in more detail.

I hope you're having a merry Christmas! Christmas has an especially important place in my heart for many reasons. Like many people, growing up I'd quite often go deer hunting during the Christmas break from school.

Today is December 26 and that is the exact date I shot my first deer many years ago. For that reason, today I'm going to share the story of that particular hunt with you.
