If you’re looking to reset, refocus, and create a game plan for the year ahead, this episode’s for you.

Application season is here. Brady and Trail break down how they’re approaching the 2026 Western draws—where points still make sense, where opportunity outweighs odds, and how point creep and tag changes are shaping real-world decisions. From elk and deer priorities to risk tolerance and expectations, this episode lays out the mindset behind every application. If you’re trying to hunt more—and plan smarter—this one’s for you.

Randy Newberg joins Brady and Trail for a discussion on several key issues shaping Western big game hunting today. Topics include public land access and corner crossing, application and draw systems, recent Montana deer tag reductions for nonresidents, and the perspectives of both resident and nonresident hunters. This episode focuses on why changes are happening and how hunters can stay informed and engaged moving forward.

Late-season archery elk can be tough. On this week’s episode, Trail breaks down his recent successful hunt in the desert terrain of Arizona.

In this episode, Brady sits down with Paul Frame and Hunter Bradford to break down their recent elk hunt together for Paul’s long-awaited first-ever bull elk—and the wild hunt behind it. The guys dive into the logistics of hunting steep country, having Paul pass up bulls, and the decision-making that put them in position for a perfect shot on the biggest bull in the canyon. And because it’s elk hunting, it didn’t end there. They discuss late-night meat hauling, plus a full next-day packout of meat and antlers. If you love elk stories, tough terrain, and first-bull celebrations, this one delivers.
