Here we go! It's a new year and the beginning of the new Hunt Series 2022! The hunt series will be a yearlong update of my current mindset, planning phase, and/or upcoming hunt. I use the hunt series to breakdown my exact thought process as I navigate planning and applying for tags, preparing and executing hunts, and lessons learned. Please reach out with feedback or topics you want more information on. Enjoy!

We discuss the "good 'ol days" and how mule deer hunting has changed over the years. We debate where mule deer hunting is going and what the future looks like. Enjoy!

Wyatt was the lucky winner of one of the Hunt Expo Bison permits in 2023. He jumps on to tell the story of hunting with my brother and killing an absolute GIANT bison after the hunt catches them by surprise and isn't as easy as they thought it might be. Enjoy!

Wyatt Mcevoy - Once In A Lifetime

Dustin and Jeremy meet up at the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo to discuss some telling statistical data Jeremy has been gathering at his archery shop over 5+ years and more than 500 data points. Fixed blade vs. Mechanical. Bow poundage. Shot distance. Wound percentage. We discuss all the major hot button topics with data to back up the numbers. Enjoy!
*One of the few episodes with an "ad" or promo code. Gulo Outdoors was kind enough to offer their booth space for the podcast. It was the least we could do to say thanks.
