In this episode of the Hunt West Podcast, we have Jared Oakleaf from Lander, WY on the show to nerd out about mule deer and their management. Jared is a die-hard big deer hunter who spends as much time learning about mule deer and working to conserve them as he does chasing them.

The guys touch on a ton of controversial topics, including antler point restrictions, ideal buck-to-doe ratios, the effects (or lack thereof) of limited quota seasons, and so much more. They also break down what may just be the secret to timing your hunting plans to maximize mature buck numbers and quality on your next hunt. 

They reference a ton of work from the Monteith Shop, which you can read by clicking here >>

We'd love it if you supported their work on the website, as well. Click around in there, there's a lot to find on the website. 

We sincerely hope you enjoy the show!
