The Difference Between Hunting on Public or Private Lands with Trey Milhoan

44 minutes

Show Notes:

When terrain plays a big part in your hunting experience, should you choose a hunt on public or private lands? Trey Milhoan, a professional guide in Colorado, works on private land and hunts for himself on public land, so I thought his perspective would be a valuable one to listen to today.

While the common techniques for elk hunting are centered around calling, bugling, and stalking, Trey’s preferred method is all about getting lost in the wild. And if you aren’t anywhere close to a healthy elk herd like Trey is in Colorado, we offer up some different ways you can learn how to be a better elk hunter.

I’ve been field testing different hunting equipment and Bushnell’s products have consistently risen to the top. For my listeners, they’re currently offering 15% off on anything (not just my favorite products) by using the promo code: STL02.

I also have a couple of slots left, so if you’ve put off getting into a hunt, now is the time to sign up. If you’ve never been out west or you’re looking for some better weather, there isn’t a better time than Arizona in February. I have a limited number of spots and it always fills up fast, so cross off something on your bucket list and book a hunt with me.
