Jaden Bales with Wyoming Wildlife Federation jumps on a call to discuss HB122: Reliable Funding for Hunting & Fishing Access. As a Wyoming resident, I take a special interest in this topic, however, I feel it can be applied to all western states struggling to gain public access due to private land or land-locked parcels of good hunting & fishing ground. Enjoy!

Saturday Feb 27, 2021
I sit down for a solo episode to lay out my 2021 application strategy, break down each western state, and give pro tips about fancy tags. This episode should help anyone get a general idea of what states will help with their goals for this year. Utah is the next major application deadline, coming up March 4. Good luck in the draws!

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!

Clint Casper - Heading West to Hunt Mule Deer
Thursday Mar 12, 2020
Thursday Mar 12, 2020
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!

John Bair - I Believe I Would...Sold!

Monday Feb 24, 2020
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!
