In today's episode, Jaden tries to answer the question as to whether you should plan to get on the Idaho First-Come, First-Serve OTC tag system for elk, mule deer, and/or whitetails. Your mileage may vary and the answer as to whether you should spend the $185 to get a license and sit in the queue for a tag is certainly person-dependent. 

One way you can increase the opportunities for hunting across the West is getting creative with your weapon choices, though! Idaho is a great example where traditional muzzleloader seasons are available in the over-the-counter tags and someone who picks up a muzzle-stuffer can really unlock some fun season dates if they are willing to learn a new weapon system. 

Lastly, Jaden covers some housekeeping items before heading out on his last guided hunt of the year, including giving a breakdown of the Unlimited Membership service with Hunt West. New this year, Unlimited Members get a FREE $200 tax stamp from Silencer Central AND a FREE year-long membership with MTNTOUGH's online programing.
