What Is An Application Strategy – Chad Ryker

You hear the term application strategy thrown around a lot so I thought I would attempt to define what it is and talk about a few of the strategies out there.  I think every person has their own way of applying for big game hunts but in this podcast I talk about the three that I think are the most used.  

1. The person who has one week to hunt and only wants to obtain one tag
2. The person who has collected some points and has opportunity to hunt multiple hunts
3. The person who has points all over the west, applies for every state and uses all their vacation for hunting
4.
