  • Needs work

    I usually don’t write negative reviews but I had to after this one. Not to be negative but to hopefully help the host.

    Listen to the recent episode with the host with his brother talking about Elk. They start the episode off by being upset at guide clients for not being able to stick it out mentally, leaving early, and not being able to shoot. They end the podcast with their AZ elk story where they hit a bull bad and left the hunt early.

    The host is very hypocritical and then has a very negat... more

  • Mule deer

    Love the mule deer stuff, love the discussions on big bucks and all the conversations surrounding them. The host can get a little sour and down in the dumps about management practices and kinda comes a cross as if he has all the answers to solving all management problems at times. But overall a great listen if you’re interested in all things western big game hunting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Listener Q&A + Ethical Hunting Question For You
Q: Do you trust apps with camera and location data?
Candidly, there are privacy concerns, but most hunting companies' access is restricted by login requirements and account controls. The guest hasn't seen direct issues but advises staying mindful of where and how data is shared, and to rely on trusted platforms with clear access limitations.
Listener Q&A + Ethical Hunting Question For You
Q: How to approach mule deer differently in desert units vs high country?
In deserts, emphasize water sources, heavy trail-camera use to locate sparse populations, and drives to move deer; in high country focus on glassing from elevated spots and exploiting feed availability. Adapt strategies to vegetation and terrain, using creative viewpoints like tree-stands or wind-tied observations to maximize visibility.
Listener Q&A + Ethical Hunting Question For You
Q: Open sites vs scopes on muzzleloaders and current regulations across states?
Open iron sights offer the most consistent performance under varying light and don't depend on optics regulations; red dot or open-sighted peep systems can be effective if set up to maximize daylight visibility, while many states have restricted or banned optics on muzzleloaders, so plan around those rules and prioritize reliable sight picture.
Listener Q&A + Ethical Hunting Question For You
Q: How should one balance backpack hunting vs seeing more spots when seven to ten good areas are identified?
Start by clarifying your primary goal: if you want the biggest buck, commit to backcountry mobility and high-quality scouting; if you're after a solid buck and broad country coverage, be more flexible and mobile to cover more ground, potentially narrowing to 2-3 prime spots if the unit is rugged and time is limited.
Kobe Carlson - Killing A Big Buck In A Low Density Unit
Q: What was the story behind the Nevada buck and how did you manage the hunt when conditions were tough?
The guest details scouting months in advance, a challenging opener, then precise setup and patient stalking that culminated in a successful shot at close range after overcoming heat, wind, and cover dynamics.
