Drawn West

Drawn West with Brian Krebs

Drawn West is for the hunters who load the truck each fall — chasing bugles, big country, and something deeper than just filling a tag. Host Brian Krebs dives into tag strategies, gear prep, and real-world advice to help non-resident hunters make the most of limited time out West. Each episode features expert guests and gritty stories from hunters you’ve never heard of — the kind who get it done with one week, one tag, and no excuses.

  1. Nevada Elk – Best Elk Units in America

    8H AGO

    Nevada Elk – Best Elk Units in America

    Want to hunt 400” bulls? Me too. Somewhere in Nevada, there are bulls pushing 400 inches on public land that almost no one will ever hunt. The draw odds are that bad. But if your name comes up, it's probably the best elk hunt you'll ever go on. This is part three of the Nevada application series, focused entirely on elk. Nevada doesn't have the numbers Utah has, but unit for unit, the top public land tags in the state compete with anything in the West — Colorado, Utah, Montana's Missouri Breaks, Arizona, New Mexico. The difference is access. There are only a handful of non-resident tags in even the best units each year, which is exactly why this is a lottery ticket conversation, not a guaranteed hunt conversation. We break down what those draw odds actually look like at every point level — from zero points to max — across archery, muzzleloader, and rifle. We cover which unit groups to target, how to think about stacking your five choices, and why the $19 application fee only makes sense in the context of what else you're already doing in Nevada. • Whether Nevada elk is worth applying for if you're not already in for mule deer or antelope • The $19 vs. $1,200 cost breakdown and what it means for your application strategy • Units 111–115 and 221–223: what makes them elite and how many non-resident tags actually go out • Draw odds at 10 points and max points — and what "less than 1%" really means long-term • How to use your five choices between top-tier units and higher-odds fallback picks • The secondary draw and leftover tag list: when to check and why it's worth watching • Why you should never skip a year in Nevada because of drought conditions Subscribe wherever you listen, and follow @getdrawnwest on Instagram. If this helped your application strategy, leave a five-star rating and pass it along to someone else putting in for Nevada!

  2. Nevada Antelope Application Strategy | Best Units for 80” Bucks

    1D AGO

    Nevada Antelope Application Strategy | Best Units for 80” Bucks

    Nevada might be the most overlooked antelope state in the West — and the hunters who know about it are already building points. Statewide, Nevada produces a higher percentage of mature, oversized bucks than any other state. In peak years, a third of all antelope harvested were 15 inches or taller. Even in down years, about a quarter of the harvest hits that mark. No other state comes close to those averages across the board. And the tag is $300 for non-residents — one of the best values in Western hunting when you factor in the quality. This episode is part of the Drawn West Nevada series. We cover what non-residents need to know about applying for antelope: the draw system, group application risks, surrendered tags and the leftover list, herd quality, and unit strategy by points level. • May 13th deadline (11pm Pacific) — same as mule deer • $155 hunt/fish combo license + $14 antelope application fee to start building points • Nevada checks all five of your hunt choices before moving to the next applicant — always use all five • Applying as a group in Nevada is risky — with limited tags, a group of three can be disqualified if only two tags remain when their number pulls • Archery is the most realistic path: double-digit draw odds are available with as few as five points in units like 141 (16%), 31 (15%), and 32 (13%) • Muzzleloader is a solid mid-tier option; top northwest corner units (12, 13, 14) showing 7% odds at five points • Rifle antelope as a non-resident is effectively a long-term lottery — don't count on it • Top trophy units: northwest corner (11–15), central units (145, 161, 162, 172, 251) — 80-inch potential, 70–90% public land • Surrendered tags go back into a first-come-first-serve list — worth monitoring if you're local to the region Deadline is May 13th. If you're already applying for mule deer, adding antelope costs just $14 more and uses the same license. No reason not to be in.

  3. Nevada Mule Deer: Draw Strategy, Trophy Units, and Draw System Explained

    2D AGO

    Nevada Mule Deer: Draw Strategy, Trophy Units, and Draw System Explained

    Is Nevada mule deer even worth putting in for as a non-resident? That depends almost entirely on where you're at in your strategy, and this episode breaks down exactly how to think about Nevada Mule Deer. Nevada doesn't hand out a lot of non-resident tags, but the trophy potential is as high as anywhere in the West. Twenty units with 180-inch-plus potential. A minimum 140-inch floor across the entire state. Tags that cost non-residents $240. And a draw system built around giving every applicant multiple real chances — because Nevada checks all five of your hunt choices before moving on to the next person in line. This episode covers everything you need to make a decision before the May 13th deadline: how the weighted bonus draw works, what the current drought conditions actually mean for antler quality and herd health, why feral horses are a bigger long-term threat than people realize, and how to structure your five choices whether you're applying for the first time or sitting on 20 points. • How the weighted bonus system works — and why it makes Nevada one of the most fair draws in the West • The secondary draw, surrendered tags, and the first-come-first-serve leftover list that flexible hunters should be watching all summer • Why the archery and muzzleloader seasons are underrated entry points for non-residents • Unit breakdown: which units Brian targets at trophy potential, and which ones have real draw odds with zero, five, and ten points • Why the 130s (131 and 132) are the benchmark for best-in-state trophy potential • How drought conditions might actually produce some of the biggest bucks of the decade — and why the next three years may be the window • The case for applying for all five choices every year, and when points-only actually makes sense • The deadline to apply is May 13th at 11pm Pacific. Results drop around May 29th. If you're on the fence, apply — Nevada always gives you a chance, and you never want to sit out a year.

    From Whitetails To Elk w/ Dwayne Jones

    How many points do you actually need before you can hunt elk in Colorado? If you've been watching that number climb and telling yourself "maybe in five more years" — you might be sitting on a play you haven't tried yet. Brian sits down with Dwayne Jones — sales manager for Novick's Outdoors, co-founder of Dream Dirt, and the man behind Shed Season — to talk through his journey from lifelong whitetail hunter to first-time Western elk applicant. Dwayne has never been west of Kansas, but thanks to a tip straight from a Colorado Parks and Wildlife employee, he's heading into the backcountry this September with a bow, a solid group of experienced buddies, and months of elk calls already practiced. The conversation covers what Eastern hunters actually need to know before going West — how elk behave differently than whitetails, why calling strategy matters more than calling perfection, what broadhead to run and why, and how fitness changes your mental game in the mountains. They also get into farm habitat, CRP programs, predator control, and turkey hunting with a bow. The kind of wide-open conversation that happens when two guys who genuinely love this stuff sit down without a hard stop. • The Colorado two-choice application strategy that lets you build a point and get drawn in the same year • Why a bull that "chuckles" back at you is telling you something specific — and what to do next • Fixed blade vs. expandable broadheads for elk and why pass-through matters more than you think • What CRP actually does for deer and turkey habitat — and why the critics are comparing it to the wrong thing • How fitness training changes your mental ceiling when things get hard in the mountains • Why Brian, despite a 354 bull in the next room, wouldn't pass a raghorn on a bow hunt Stay Ahead of Hunting Season with the Drawn West Newsletter.

    Montana Moose, Sheep, Goat, Bison Application Strategy

    Did you know there are over-the-counter Bighorn Sheep tags in the lower 48? We dive in to that and more in this episode! Montana runs a squared bonus point system, which means you always have a chance no matter how many points you have — but the odds climb very differently depending on the species. Moose points actually build toward something real. Sheep is closer to a lifetime lottery ticket. Goat and bison sit somewhere in between. Before you decide whether to apply, you need to know which of these is actually worth your time and money. This episode breaks down all four species — what the draw odds look like at every point level for both residents and non-residents, why Montana's tag prices are surprisingly affordable compared to Wyoming, and how to think about whether building points here beats saving up for a guided hunt somewhere else. What we cover: • How Montana's squared bonus point system works — and why you always have a shot even with one point • The only five units offering unlimited bighorn sheep tags, the harvest quota system, and why success rates sit at just 2–7% • Why Montana moose odds actually climb to meaningful percentages — and what that means for your long-term strategy • Rocky Mountain goat draw odds for non-residents vs. residents, and why this is one of the best resident opportunities in any state we've covered • Montana's Yellowstone-corridor bison hunt: no point system, pure lottery, and what a quarter-to-half percent draw odds really means • Why the same bison herd costs $1,250 to apply for in Montana vs. $6,000 in Wyoming Hit subscribe and leave us a five-star review — and get on the Drawn West newsletter at getdrawnwest.com so you never miss another deadline like this one.

  6. Wyoming Moose, Goat, Sheep & Bison Application Strategy

    APR 28

    Wyoming Moose, Goat, Sheep & Bison Application Strategy

    Would you pay $6000 to apply for a Bison tag? This episode we dive into the Wyoming Moose, Goat, Sheep & Bison applications for 2026. Moose, bighorn sheep, Rocky Mountain goat, and free-range bison are all on the table, but the draw odds, the point system, and the upfront costs are a completely different game than anything else in the West. Before you write that check, you need to know what you're actually getting into. This episode breaks down each species individually — who has a realistic shot, which units non-residents should actually target, and whether buying Wyoming preference points for 30 years makes more sense than putting that money toward a guided hunt somewhere else. What we cover: • The only bighorn sheep unit offering non-residents random draw odds — and what it means if you don't have 26+ points • The three moose units with random odds and why success rates are still near 100% if you pull the tag • Why Rocky Mountain goat is all-random for everyone — and what the odds look like after units 4 and 5 were eliminated • The Yellowstone-corridor bison hunt: best odds of all four species and why success rates have been slipping • The real upfront cost reality and how the May reimbursement timeline works If this helps, subscribe and leave us a five-star review — and get on the Drawn West newsletter at getdrawnwest.com so you never miss a deadline again.

  7. Utah Moose, Sheep, Goat & Bison

    APR 22

    Utah Moose, Sheep, Goat & Bison

    Someone bid $290,000 for a Utah Rocky Mountain bighorn tag at this year's Hunt Expo. You can enter the same draw for $21. That's the whole argument for applying for Utah's once in a lifetime species — and it's a strong one. These aren't tags you build toward with a realistic finish line. The point creep is real, the permits are scarce, and you're probably never going to hit 100% draw odds. But if you're already buying a Utah hunting license to apply for elk, deer, or antelope, adding sheep, moose, or bison to your application is just a lottery ticket on top of a purchase you already made. And the payoff, if you draw, is genuinely life-changing. This is the fourth and final episode in the 2026 Utah application series. I break down every once in a lifetime species Utah offers — Rocky Mountain bighorn, desert bighorn, mountain goat, moose, and bison — covering draw odds, permit numbers, success rates, trophy potential, and which ones are actually worth adding to your application. The April 23rd deadline applies here too, so the timing matters. In this episode: • Why Utah once in a lifetime tags are pure lottery tickets — and exactly what that means for your point strategy • Conservation permit auction prices from the 2026 Western Hunt Expo that show just how valuable these tags really are • Rocky Mountain bighorn breakdown: only 5 non-resident permits, 100% managed success rates, and units producing 175-inch bulls • Desert bighorn vs. Rocky Mountain bighorn — the differences in permit availability, odds, and trophy potential • Mountain goat reality check: declining populations, pulled non-resident permits in some units, and why easier access makes it interesting for certain hunters • Moose in the lower 48: 10 non-resident permits, mostly 100% success rates, and why the point pool makes it a true lottery • The over-the-counter bison warning — why buying the Nine Mile OTC permit forfeits your ability to ever apply for the Henry Mountains or Book Cliffs draw • Which species Brian actually applies for — and the honest framework for deciding which $21 applications are worth it to you If this series helped you get your Utah applications dialed in, take a second to leave a five-star rating and follow the show.

  8. Utah Antelope

    APR 21

    Utah Antelope

    Is Utah Antelope worth it? A lot of people skip Utah antelope entirely. That might be exactly why you should be building points right now. If you're already applying for elk or mule deer in Utah, adding an antelope point only costs you $— and some of the best pronghorn tags in the state are starting to come within reach. Utah doesn't carry the same reputation as Wyoming or Nevada, but the herds are recovering, the trophy quality is climbing back, and the hunting pressure on antelope is almost nothing compared to what you see on deer and elk tags. In this episode, we break down the full Utah antelope picture for 2026 — where the herds stand after the tough stretch following the 2023 winter kill, which units give you a real shot at an 80-inch buck, and how to think about Utah as part of a bigger multi-state antelope strategy. The April 23, 2026 application deadline is right around the corner. In this episode: • Utah pronghorn herd recovery after the 2023 winter kill — why trophy quality took a hit and where things stand now • How the Parker Mountain herd has served as a statewide source population, including 317 animals transplanted to new units in 2025 • The four units with the strongest 80-inch-plus potential: San Rafael North, Book Cliffs South, Fillmore, and the Beaver • Draw odds breakdown for residents vs. non-residents — and the weapon-type combos where tags get realistic faster than you'd expect • Why Utah is a long-term state, not a cornerstone antelope state — and where it fits in a smart multi-state plan • The $21 point investment that makes complete sense if you're already buying a Utah hunting license ________________________________________ Follow along for more antelope breakdowns, application tips, and behind-the-scenes content: @getdrawnwest Want to stay ahead of every deadline and draw strategy before the season hits?
