OTC Tag Changes in Colorado with Henry Ferguson

Show Notes:

Henry Ferguson is a longtime friend of mine and the President of the Colorado Bowhunters Association (CBA). Colorado Parks and Wildlife recently pushed for changes to the OTC tag system, and Henry and I break things down. Archery and bowhunting have become super popular, and there’s a lot of folks out in the woods right now. In a way, we’re victims of our own success.

Along with the CBA, Henry was pretty involved in the recent OTC rule changes. Here, we take a look at some of the pros and cons of the program changes and what it all means for the hunting community. Henry outlines the three options that were laid out on the table, and staying status quo wasn’t going to fly. According to him, they went with the lesser of two evils.

Henry shares what he believes are the benefits of the changes, many of which he says are yet to be seen. I play a bit of a devil’s advocate in our conversation and point out some of the potential pitfalls. Henry also shares some of the cons of the new rules and we talk about the future of hunting in Colorado and other states. 

What’s Inside:

• Changes to the OTC system in Colorado
• Pros and cons of the changes
• What the future of hunting could look like in Colorado and other states

Hunting Success in Every State with Chris Neville

Show Notes:

Chris Neville got his start in the hunting industry working for GOHUNT, where he spent six years after joining right out of college. He recently moved out to Fort Collins, Colorado, and he’s now out on his own doing freelance and consulting work for companies in the hunting space. Chris grew up in Iowa hunting whitetail and as a former eastern hunter, he’s now getting acclimated to how you do things out west. 

Chris and I talk about planning hunts in other states where things are unfamiliar. It definitely takes a certain skill set to find success in every state and knowledge is power. You also have to know the state’s rules and regulations and doing as much research as possible gives you a leg up. Chris shares the most important information hunters should retain and we chat about using GOHUNT’s features as helpful tools.

We chat about the differences in scouting in the east compared to the west and how to find the best tag opportunities. The process of getting tags is becoming tougher, but figuring out what you want to get out of a hunt is the best first step. Chris shares his process for picking an ideal hunting spot, some tips and tricks to use GOHUNT to your advantage, and his go-to tools to use while out in the field.

What’s Inside:

• What you need to know to have a successful hunt in other states
• How Chris chooses an ideal hunting spot
• GOHUNT tips and tricks

Expert Bullet and Rifle Tips with John McAdams

Show Notes:

John McAdams is the host of the Big Game Hunting Podcast and he’s here to share some stories and his wealth of hunting knowledge. John grew up in East Texas and joined the Army right out of high school, which then took him all over the country. He gained a ton of hunting experience in the different states where he’s lived, and he also caught the bug to go hunting in Africa. 

On John’s podcast, you’ll hear a lot about his trips to Africa as well as his perspectives on hunting across the U.S. He also covers cartridge profiles, comparisons and bullet performance. We kick our conversation off with a discussion on the best bullets and cartridges to use and we talk about a client I took out hunting and discussed in a past episode. We also talk about shot placement and how different animals handle getting taken down.

John and I chat about long range shooting, the difference in expansion and how that can impact your results. For hunters on a budget, John shares his recommendation for the one cartridge and rifle you should have in your collection. We also talk about how to choose the right bullets and projectiles and your best options for shooting in windy conditions.

What’s Inside:

Secrets to a Solid Elk Hunt with Sam Davis

Show Notes:

Sam Davis grew up in Wyoming, spending a ton of time outdoors and his dad was an outfitter. He’s been bow hunting since he was 15 out West, shooting everything from mule deer to elk. Sam’s a DIY hunting guy and goes for over the counter tags. He’s also been a guide for 23 seasons. Growing up, Sam didn’t realize how much being around animals shaped his hunting career, but looking back, he’s seen a ton of stuff that many guys won’t. 

I pick Sam’s brain about elk hunting, and we kick things off by talking about the best ways to narrow down hunting areas. We talk about why you shouldn’t be afraid to communicate with other hunters to pick up good tips and the top terrain features to look for when you’re scouting elk. Sam likes to work with drainages, open pockets where elk feed, and areas where they can bed, and he walks through his techniques.

Then we get into Sam’s ideal day of elk hunting. He’s an aggressive hunter, and he likes to move towards elk immediately after spotting them. Sam also shares what he’s learned from past hunts, how he handles hearing an elk while he’s glassing, and a story where he had an a-ha moment that changed the way he hunts.

What’s Inside:

• The best ways to narrow down hunting areas
• Top features to look for when you’re tracking down elk
• Sam’s ideal day of elk hunting
