    Ep. 16 | Random questions about hunting w/Brady Miller

    On this episode of The Game Trail, I sit down and spend time talking with GOHUNT’s Brady Miller. I’ve known Brady for a number of year’s but we rarely get a chance to have a long conversation. I ask him some random questions to get to know him better and a bunch of hunting related questions to discover more about how he approaches adventure hunting. Topics include, what’s more important physical or mental preparation, what food he craves on a long hunt, why did Brady stop bowhunting, and much more!

    Arrow selection and build process are among the most commonly asked questions we receive, so for today's Game Trail podcast, Trail talks at length about all things arrows.

He shares his experiences that can, in turn, hopefully help you be more successful this fall.

    Ep. 11 | It's application season, here's how I prepare

    Ep. 11 | It's application season, here's how I prepare

    Like most things, the key to opportunity in hunting is in how well you prepare and the first piece of the puzzle is how you obtain a permit. The western states primarily allocate hunting permits through state lotteries or selling permits over the counter. Trail breaks down his planning process to ensure he obtains permits each year. He discusses requirements to apply, application deadlines, costs/fees, draw systems, preference, and bonus points, draw odds, and the tools he uses to get organized and ultimately draw permits. If you want to hunt elk, mule deer, antelope, and other species in the west, those opportunities are available and this podcast is a great first step. Now is the time the time to prepare and apply!
