Hunting season is quickly approaching and with some luck many of you will fill a permit with a buck or bull that you would like to have mounted. On this week's episode the Big Hunt Guys have Calvin and Robin Ferguson from Trophy Room Taxidermy stop by and talk all things taxidermy. Calvin and Robin recount a recent hunt for Oryx in New Mexico before fielding a ton of questions from the guys about how to cape an animal to mount, how to preserve the cape and velvet, and how to pick the best position to capture the unique characteristics of your buck or bull. They also talk about their journey into the profession and share several interesting stories. You say you want to have your pet dog taxidermied?

July 4th is one of our favorite times of the year for several reasons, one of which is that it’s the kickoff to scouting for our hunts that start this fall. In this episode, Brady, Lorenzo, and Trail are joined by GOHUNT’s own Chris Porter to talk about how to scout and plan for a hunt. The guys talk about the importance of learning about the species you are hunting and identifying behavioral patterns that can be used to help you find success. They also talk about using networking, web searches, your Insider account, and the mapping platform to find the best areas to hunt. We round out the discussion talking about the tools of the trade and how to develop and put your plan into place.

We've all heard you can’t kill an elk with a 6.5 Creedmoor or avoiding red meat prior to a bowhunt will make your scent undetectable but we wanted to set the record straight and do a deep dive into commonly held hunting myths. The Big Hunt Guys have a lively discussion and attempt to confirm or bust hunting myths! Do deer and elk see red light, do big bulls have big bugles, tune in to find out.

The Big Hunt Guys are back after having participated in the Sig Sauer Archery Rifle Challenge in Bozeman Montana last week.

They also share what they learned and how that applies to making them better prepared when hunts kick off in fall. Did they win it all or was it a complete bust?

On this week's episode we are talking about Alaskan coastal black bears and some fishing. Brady and Trail sit down with GOHUNT's own Paul Frame and Cody Boor to relive their recent DIY coastal black bear hunt. Trail is also fresh off an Alaskan black bear hunt, and he talks about that trip, recounting what he learned, and runs through the emotions of a hunt that doesn't turn out the way he hoped. The guys also discuss the logistics and challenges of doing a DIY Alaskan hunt and offer advice on options for folks desiring to venture north themselves.

The guys sit down with Chris Porter and F-16 pilot Scott Butler to discuss two very different hunting tag outcomes… have a great tag, now what? And don’t have a tag, now what? “The logistics king Porter” drew a coveted PIW mule deer tag, and they walked through his plans for approaching a tag of this caliber and what he is doing right now to ensure success this fall in terms of e-scouting, weapon practice, and narrowing down a place to hunt. Then on the opposite spectrum, Scott didn’t draw a single tag this year. The guys outline a plan of attack using a GOHUNT membership to research all of the leftover tag opportunities, secondary draws, first-come-first-served tags, over-the-counter hunts, and much more. If you find yourself without a hunting tag for this fall, this episode is for you.

Dan and his wife Karen Gates from Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management stop by the GOHUNT podcast studio on this week's episode. We have all become more aware of the important work that CRWM is doing on behalf of all hunters, but on this week's episode we sit down to get to know Dan and Karen on a more personal level. We explore Dan and Karen's background in the outdoors and why their passion for wildlife and hunting runs so deep. We also dive into the anti-hunting movement and what is currently happening in their efforts to eliminate mountain lion, bobcat, and all hunting. We discuss the approaching deadline of July 5th where 124,238 verified signatures from registered voters must be collected in order for the anti-hunting groups to move the initiative to the ballot later in November. We talk about how to get involved as hunters and how to speak up for our right to hunt and fish. Now is a critical time to get involved; this is a great episode for every hunter, no matter what state you live in or hunt.
