When hunting seasons are over, the next season is in the planning works. Trade shows, sports shows and expos are the best option to go connect with other hunters and see the new gear, find a taxidermist and maybe book a hunt with an outfitter.

In this episode I chat with Travis from Buckstorm about what to look for when planning your western big game mule deer or elk hunt. Every company rants and raves about how their gear is the best gear out there. Travis gives some suggestions on what to look for in gear companies and what he does when picking out new gear. We also discuss picking an outfitter and what to look for when entrusting someone with your money to go on a hunt.

• Do you need new gear to go on a western hunt

• Time to start planning your 2022 and 2023 western deer or elk hunt

• Buying new hunting gear

• Choosing an outfitter

• What to ask an outfitter to know you can trust them.

Getting busted when drawing your bow at an elk or deer within range is one of the most frustrating moments in western hunting. Elk will often hang up in the hang up zone and not present you with a shot. Deer will often bust you in that last moment and getting close isn't easy either. A small insurance policy of a decoy can help. Danny Farris from Ultimate Predator and Hoyt Bowhunting Podcast shares about his company's product to help close the distance.

Do you have an old sports injury or overpacked a poorly weight distributed pack with too much elk meat, and hurt your back? Having a quality pack is something many western hunters struggle to drop the money on but I personally have found the value in a quality pack.

• Value of having a quality hunting pack for elk, deer and all western hunting

• Pack weight distribution

• Proper backpack fit

• Pack maintenance

• Additional resources from EXO like the gear list and western hunting workout plan.
