Thank you to everyone who participates in our Giveaways, we appreciate all of you!

Scouting season is upon us and there is no better way to kick it off and get a head start in your units than by putting up a few trail cameras! This year we may see technology at a disadvantage while old school hunting methods and knowledge from years previous are more useful than they have been for years.

Here at Epic Outdoors we are lovers of all wildlife and want to ensure that certain species don't become forgotten, so this week we shed a little light on something Josh has had on his mind for some reason. When is the last time you've seen a porcupine? For Porcupette Awareness day (Holiday invented by Josh) we are giving away something special, here is how you get in on it:

  • On your Instagram Feed, post a selfie with you and any Wild Mammal.
  • Tag @epic_hunts in your post
  • Use #vortexsurprise and #epicscouting in your post
  • For 10 bonus entries, take a selfie with a porcupine!
  • Must be posted by 06/23/2023 @ 4:00 P.M. MST

We have officially entered the final countdown for our Summer Hunt Giveaway! If you haven't gotten your name in the hat for some hunts, now is the time!

The crew has a good chat with Colten Petersen (IG: @heavyhorned), to discuess some of the bucks he's been on for the past few years, and these are not your average bucks. Colten has had the opportunity to hunt and harvest multiple bucks scoring over 200 in his life, and if you ask him its all luck. But we know the real story. It takes hard work, dedication and resilience to have success like that as a Mule Deer hunter.

We also get a chance to hear the story of Wyatt's Alaskan Sheep Hunt for the first time!

Jun 7, 2023

Jason sits down with Robby Denning as a guest on the RokCast Podcast to talk about everything Mule Deer. Robby Denning has been a long time friend of Jason and the Epic Crew, so naturally we were excited to talk to him and hear about how things are going in Idaho, Wyoming and the rest of the Western US.

Robby has been primarily a Mule Deer hunter his whole life, rarely hunting anything else. With that much passion and knowledge of Mule Deer, we were sure it would be an educational and interesting sit down, and we were not dissapointed. We talk everything from deer management strategies to the bucks that got away and those that didn’t!

May 25, 2023

Each of them also shares stories about some of the coolest bucks they've hunted, especially one that scores upwards of 290"!
