In this episode of the Out of State Hunter Podcast, Chad Ryker kicks off 2026 by outlining what listeners can expect over the next few months and how to best prepare for the upcoming hunting year. Chad breaks down why now is the time to focus on application strategies, non-resident opportunities, and smart planning rather than getting ahead of yourself on fall hunts. The episode previews upcoming state-by-state application breakdowns, tool tutorials, real-world stories from winter hunts, and practical strategies for hunters with zero to mid-tier points. Chad also dives into upcoming rifle-building conversations, physical preparation, and skill development heading into spring. To wrap things up, he introduces new and returning sponsors for 2026 and explains why each one plays a role in helping hunters find opportunity in every state.
