In this episode I am joined by Matt Howell @muleymatt and one of his hunting buddies Jason DeWeese @swchunter. You may know Matt as Muley Matt on Instagram and we actually talk about how the name Muley Matt came about, social media and some of the good things about social media, even though we tend to dwell on the negatives of it. We had a great time chatting about the mule deer hunting in Colorado, finding good bucks, and quite a bit about hunting with your kids. Matt is actually trying pretty hard to get his first bull this year, and yes naturally I turned a podcast with a guy named Muley Matt into a conversation about elk. My apologies to the diehard mule deer fans who get tired of me talking about elk but it happens. Overall a great episode and just in time as it is time to start thinking about Colorado draws. In fact this Thursday, Brady Miller will be back on to help us break down the Colorado, so be sure you catch that show before you put in.
Real quick before the show I have some Phelps Game Calls to giveaway for a 5 star shout-out. In fact I have a new bugle tube and some of the new amp frames this week. These things are amazing, hands down the best diaphragm I have used. We are going to give another set away next Tuesday so if you want to win a new bugle and amp reeds go leave a review.
