Too many hunters keep saying they’ll “go out West someday,” but that day never comes.

In this episode, Andrew breaks down his top five states for Western big game hunting—specifically elk and mule deer—and explains why each one deserves a spot in your long-term strategy.

From over-the-counter opportunities to point systems and public land access, Andrew draws from personal experience and hard-earned knowledge to help you think beyond your current zip code and start planning that first (or next) trip out West.

- The state Andrew recommends if you’re brand new to Western hunting

- Which states are best for quick access vs. long-term payoff- How to handle complicated draw systems and avoid common mistakes

- Why hunting the West doesn’t have to wait until “one day”

If you're serious about making Western hunting a reality, this is the place to start. Get informed, get organized, and get out there.
