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!
