As archery hunts are opening up across the west, Jared Knighton joins Trail to discuss high country spot and stalk mule deer hunting. Jared has found success consistently over the past several years on great bucks and offers some tips in tricks to both find bucks and how to close the distance. The guys also talk about bow and arrow setups, boots, and other gear required to give yourself the best chance in the high country. Jared has released films on his own Youtube channel that we highly recommend, including Cliff Dweller and Chasing Ghosts. Make sure to watch those, listen to the podcast, and get ready for one of the west’s most challenging and rewarding hunts…spot and stalk high county mule deer!

On this week’s episode of The Game Trail podcast, I tackle the topic of buying and setting up a new bow sight. I discuss what I like in a sight, the number of pins, pin sizes, and if you should buy a slider sight. I also talk about peep sight sizes and alignment. I work through the process of setting up a slider sight and weigh in on which option might be the best for hunting situations out west. Finally, I wrap up with a review of four of the top-selling sights on the market. Whether you are buying a new sight or working to dial in the the sight you already have for the upcoming year, this is a good episode with several tips and ideas to consider.

On this episode of The Game Trail, I sit down and spend time talking with GOHUNT’s Brady Miller. I’ve known Brady for a number of year’s but we rarely get a chance to have a long conversation. I ask him some random questions to get to know him better and a bunch of hunting related questions to discover more about how he approaches adventure hunting. Topics include, what’s more important physical or mental preparation, what food he craves on a long hunt, why did Brady stop bowhunting, and much more!
