Ian and I have worked together in the long range rifle world for the last 5 years or so. We finally sit down to discuss some of the most critical pieces to a great long range hunting rifle. We discuss scope features, cartridges, barrel lengths, etc. This episode is very gear specific. In the future we'll cover the application side for someone getting into long range shooting. Ian is a former marine scout sniper and currently works as a professional trainer for himself and The Cadre. Enjoy!

This episode is for all the wall tent horse or mule packers! I go through weeks worth of research shopping for the best wall text to pack in the backcountry on my horse. I had some very specific parameters as far as size, weight, and most importantly, price. I cover 8 different wall tent companies and 13 different tent models. I finally explain the tent I chose and why. Mixed in is some Hunt Expo wrap up and my formal protest for a buck scoring contest I won! :) Enjoy!

Jace joins the podcast again. Before jumping into his fall of a lifetime chasing late season elk, we have a discussion on Utah's mountain lion management plan. This is a controversial topic with multiple opinions. We close with some great elk hunting stories about Jace's Nevada and Utah late season bull elk hunts, including a bowhunt. Jace killed a couple monster bull elk on these hunts. Enjoy!

You asked, I answered! This is a question and answer episode from some Instagram followers. I answer questions about Wyoming, Arizona, Colorado, and more! Questions range from antelope to elk to bison and everything in between.

Franco is a wealth of knowledge about the upcoming Arizona elk & antelope draw currently open. Don't apply for Arizona BEFORE listening to this episode! Franco also hunts and guides mule deer in western Wyoming. You knew I couldn't help but squeeze in some mule deer stories, including hunting off mules. Enjoy!

This is a full breakdown of Wyoming elk including some specific unit and region highlights. I go through the difference in Regular vs. Special price applications, along with the preference pool vs random pool category. I cover deadlines, costs, party application information, how the point system works, and even some pro tips to help you draw faster and/or save some money!

Wyoming is a must-apply state for any serious elk hunter. It is the intersection of opportunity and quality in the west. Don't apply before listening to this episode. Enjoy!

Jason and I jump on the horn to recap our best (and worst) hunt stories from 2025. We tell some guiding stories and some from our own hunts. The episode gets a little long so we split the elk stories into a part 2 that will be released next. Enjoy!

PS The audio has been less than great. Thanks for your patience while I work out the bugs!

The deadly duo joins me to talk all things "thrifty hunter" gear. When I hunted with Storie & Braxton I was impressed with how little "popular" or modern gear they were using. These two are some of the best hunters I know, crushing the idea that you can only kill with the most expensive gear. We end with some highs and lows from chasing mule deer this past season. Enjoy!
