The Huntian Podcast

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!

Me, Corey, and Jason hit record on a typical hunt plan session. We discuss gear that we will need for different types of hunt seasons and weather, who is bringing what gear and how we will divvy up supplies. Jason makes a cameo appearance to breakdown some of the wall tents and shelters he's been researching. This is an all around great episode for gear, hunt prep, and planning your upcoming hunt. Enjoy!

Ballistic Drop Compensated (BDC) rifle scope turrets can extend the ethical shooting range of almost any rifle hunter. This isn't just about "how to shoot 1000 yards." We explain the benefit, key data inputs, and functional uses to take a rifle hunter from say, 300 yards to 600 yards, for example. Luke's business, Kenton Industries, supplies custom BDC turrets for most major rifle scopes. We dive in to the math, ballistics, and limitations of BDC turrets. Enjoy!
