On this episode, I dive into some Instagram follower questions. I cover everything from phone digi-scoping adapters to elk application strategies to scouting for mule deer. There is even a bit of 6.5 creedmoor talk. I go into the "can't eat the antlers" mindset and the eventual consequences. This is a good one! Enjoy.

Look for the remaining questions in part 2 coming soon!

It's not too late! Listen to this before the Utah application deadline. Utah will let you amend or change your application choices right up to the deadline. I give my brother a call to discuss the state of hunting in Utah, especially the southern half where we spend a lot of our time. I also give a quick deep dive into what "points" mean across the west and how to utilize them. I mention The Huntian Advantage email newsletter you can sign up to receive. Enjoy!

Part two with Robby Denning. We keep on recording after our mule deer discussion and dive into what it takes to be successful on a hunt using horses. Robby has been around and used horses to hunt with most of his life. We dive into advantages and disadvantages of hunting with horses, cost for maintenance, training techniques, and most importantly, how to utilize them to kill big bucks. Enjoy!

Robby and I share a passionate discussion about mule deer, management strategies, and the what the future might hold. Mule deer was not the specific topic we planned to discuss. After an hour or so we realized this better be its own episode. We still recorded the "hunting with horses" episode as intended and it will be released soon. Enjoy!

Henry and I jump on to discuss all the major changes coming to big game hunting in Colorado, some as early as this year. The three big changes we discuss are the end of over-the-counter archery elk tags for non residents, the addition of some "first rifle" deer permits in a number of units, and the change from a pure preference point system for deer, elk, and antelope to a hybrid 50/50 preference and random pool drawing. We discuss how these changes will affect the draws and how to best use your points. Enjoy!

I breakdown permit allocation percentages. I briefly explain the youth opportunity. I end with a 30,000 foot view of each species category.
