In this episode we talk about your options for guided hunts across the western states and when the ideal time to book those are. We also talk about some opportunity tags that are perfect for those looking to get into hunting, or if you are trying to fill your schedule with more hunts. Finally, we call Brett Miller, who was able to make it happen on a giant buck during the Utah general season muzzleloader hunt last year. We are also giving away a pair of Zeiss Terra 10x42 binoculars, listen to this episode for more details.

This episode is packed with western big game information and kill stories. First we break down some of the information contained in our January magazine about Wyoming and Arizona elk and antelope. Then we call A.W. Manning, an Epic hunt winner, from 2023, who won the exact same Stone Sheep hunt we’re giving away right now.  After that, we call Connor Paffrath, who lucked out with an incredible Arizona bull tag and was able to make it happen on a huge bull.

In this episode we get a surprise visit from Kevin Palmer who harvested a 190” Utah Mule deer in 2025. He gives us the full story on what it took to get on a buck that size. We also call Dusty John who got a late season Utah bull last year that ended up right at 400”. Finally, we answer a few more questions that were sent in by our instagram listeners.

In this episode we sit down with Josh Pollock, his wife, Hailie Pollock, and their daughter, Sadie Pollock. Each of them has killed a trophy animal this year, and each of those trophies comes with a story that anyone who has hunted with family can relate to. Josh Pollock was able to fill a once-in-a-lifetime tag on a Utah Desert Bighorn Sheep, Hailie Pollock drew a Limited Entry Utah bull elk tag, and made it happen on a giant bull, and Sadie Pollock killed a 218” Mule deer in Colorado, during the 2nd rifle season.
