What a week! Dustin and Corey sit down to talk about one of their best weeks of hunting. Starting with Dustin's "once in a lifetime" Utah moose hunt. Dustin was the lucky winner of the Utah Conservation & Hunting Expo $5 raffle tag for the non-resident Wasatch moose permit. Following the moose hunt, Dustin and Corey head to Colorado on a couple leftover deer and elk muzzleloader tags. They hunt a random unit they'd never been in before and score big with a monster 199" mule deer. Enjoy!

Jaden and I have a general discussion on the state of mule deer in the west. Jaden is part of The Rich Outdoors Podcast. Over the past months, he's had multiple biologists as guests to discuss the status of deer herds across the west. We discuss changing draw odds, states management strategies, and the overall status of mule deer hunting. Enjoy!

This episode I have a conversation with Clint Casper about hunting mule deer and living in the midwest. We discuss researching hunts, gaining bonus points, how to draw tags, e-scouting, and successfully killing mule deer on an out-of-state hunt. Clint has written multiple articles for various hunting magazines. He still enjoys hunting whitetail during the rut in his home state but western mule deer are quickly becoming his favorite. Enjoy!

Ever since I started attending the Western Conservation & Hunting Expo years ago, I was always impressed watching John auction off high-dollar tags in the way of conservation and wildlife management. John always seemed like a down-to-earth guy who loved what he was doing. His passion for wildlife and hunting is apparent and obvious as we chatted about being an auctioneer, history of the Western Hunting Expo, and the most expensive tag he's ever auctioned. Enjoy!

I first came in contact with Marlon years ago when chat forums were the thing. He was clearly a knowledgeable backcountry hunter getting after it. I was new to backcountry hunting in general. He went above and beyond, willing to share specific information to help a complete stranger get started backcountry hunting. Marlon has always been willing to share valuable information to those in the hunting world. 

Apologies for any audio quality issues. That said, my editor did an amazing job with this episode. It was much worse! Thanks Anthony!

Aron and I discuss multiple topics including hunting fitness, social media, hunting Colorado, Kifaru, backpacking gear, traditional archery, and much more. Aron is one of the most authentic people in the hunting world. He tests tons of different pieces of gear each year and spends more time in the mountains than the average hunter. He runs Kifaru International, high-quality backpacks and is the co-host of Kifarucast. Enjoy!

I chat with Kyle Williams, a passionate backcountry hunter. Kyle and I met a few years back at the Western Hunt Expo. I could tell right off, he was someone I wanted to follow. Since then he's knocked down a couple smoker bucks and a good bull. It's been awesome to see someone put in the hard work, make a goal, and execute it. We discuss backcountry gear, packing with goats, and how to be successful when backcountry hunts get tough. Enjoy!

New Year's Eve podcast! My brother and I celebrate the New Year by talking hunting. Big surprise! We recap hunting elk in Wyoming, along with our two archery mule deer hunts in Utah & Colorado. Thanks to everyone who has listened along the past year! I hope I have brought some value. Please reach out with any podcast episodes or guests you would like to hear from over the next year. Happy 2020!
