The Huntian Podcast

Finding big mule deer bucks on a consistent basis is an art. Killing those bucks is an art. Justin has experience finding and killing big mule deer bucks. He shares tips and tactics he uses to determine mountain ranges to hunt and units to apply for. Justin also shares the routine he uses for summer scouting before a hunt.

This episode is part 1 of 2 where we discuss tactics and tips. Look for part 2 where Justin tells the story of killing one of the biggest mule deer ever! 

Sam McKeeth and I discuss his recent success on what's arguably the most difficult tag to fill in the lower 48, Montana's Unlimited Bighorn Sheep hunt. This permit is open to anyone with the skills and mindset to pull it off. Many have tried, few have succeeded. Sheep numbers are low. Hunter pressure is high. The terrain is the most unforgiving in the lower 48. Sam overcame every obstacle and put a trophy of a lifetime on the ground. Congrats Sam!

This episode I break down my personal bow setup and why I chose each piece. I go through the process of choosing a new bow and what I consider important. I discuss each accessory along with my entire arrow setup. This is another solo episode en route to a backcountry mule deer bowhunt. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! This is a completely unique episode. I record totally solo and disregard audio quality to make sure I get content to you. I discuss the mental aspect of perseverance on a hunt. I also share valuable information about Wyoming bonus points.

This episode is one I have been looking forward to since I started the podcast. Jason is an authority on killing big bucks. We do a listener Q & A. Jason offers insight into field judging big bucks and what to look for in antler configuration. We also have a lengthy discussion about trail cameras and specifically targeting bucks in areas with a lot of water and areas with almost no water. He gives his opinion on all the moisture we're having this year and what the expectations are for antler growth. Enjoy!

With no shortage of stalking opportunities, Jason experiences the frustrations of chasing mule deer with a bow. These hunts are available to anyone who is willing to try and run on a calendar year basis. Hunters can start hunting in January in most general season units. Units usually open back up in August. Then, if you haven't filled your tag, hunters get one last chance in the month of December. Enjoy!
