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!

Marc and I catch up after the Hunt Expo. We recap the event, including the Q&A mule deer seminar Marc hosted with myself, Robby Denning, and Jeremy Dugger. We summarize some of the best questions from the seminar. Then we discuss what our mule deer hunting plans look like going forward and the optimism we have for mule deer. 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 give you all the basic information you need to know before applying in the New Mexico big game draw. I include permit, application, and hunting license fees. I breakdown permit allocation percentages. I briefly explain the youth opportunity. I end with a 30,000 foot view of each species category. This podcast will be followed by a more specific breakdown of each species and unit overviews. Enjoy!

Everything you need to know before applying for AZ Elk and Antelope. AZ is a "must apply" state for anyone interested in great elk or deer hunting, although it is a more of a long term play state. I also touch on a Wyoming bill proposing transferrable landowner tags.

Last, we will be at the Great American Outdoors Show in Harrisburg, PA starting this weekend, February 1-9, 2025. Come find us at booth #6323 in the Outfitter Hall, chat western big game hunting permits, and get entered to win a new rifle!

Awesome episode where Corey and I break down the basic thought process of building a new rifle, choosing a cartridge, scope, overall rifle weight, barrel length, bullet performance, etc. We dive into some ballistics, explain the difference between FFP and SFP scopes, the importance of rangefinders, and much more! You cannot miss this episode if you plan to build or buy a new rifle setup this year. Enjoy!
