Hunt the West is a podcast with the weekend warrior in mind. I'm your host, Skyler Harrison: just a regular guy with a day job, a family, and a limited budget. If you're like me, you don’t have thousands of dollars and unlimited vacation time to spend in the woods so you need to make it count. There’s so much more to hunting than antlers and points and we talk about it all. Learn the nuances of wildlife conservation and public lands so you can have an educated conversation with non-hunters and hunters alike. The number one goal is to get out and hunt! By getting informed about everything in the hunting world, you’ll be better equipped to take on challenges in the field. Get subscribed and get out there and Hunt the West.

Backpack Hunting vs Basecamp Hunting
#088 - Should you backpack hunt or hunt from a basecamp? There are a lot of things to consider, and you may want to think about a few things before you make a decision. You can also have the best of both worlds with a combination of ideas.

Solo Archery Elk Calling SUCCESS
#087 - Calling in an elk by yourself can be tricky, but it's possible! This wasn't completely a solo elk hunt, but it kind of was. I was able to call in a bull and succeed at harvesting it solo. There are a lot of lessons that were put to good use with this hunt so definitely listen in.
Huge shout out to the Elk Nut App and Paul Medel!

Recovering a Buck From a Blood Trail w/ Ross Melville
#086 - You'll see why Ross's buck was named "Tracker" after this episode. Ross tells the story of how he came to shoot a buck at last light on the last day of season with a less-than-ideal shot. There are a ton of valuable lessons from this episode.

Conquering The Crowds: Tips for Public Land Hunting Success
#085 - Hunters face unique challenges and obstacles when hunting in crowded public land areas. Game tends to be scarce in public land, it gets moved around a lot. Not just by hunters during season, but by hikers, bikers, off-roaders, birders, backpackers, and other public land users. Keep in mind that most of the people will not be paying attention to noise, or scent, or whether they are skylined and can be seen easily by wildlife. It can be really frustrating when you're watching a group of deer, waiting for the right opportunity only for them to be spooked by a non-hunter.
