Sometimes it is hard to know which direction to go when it comes to getting tags in the West. In a changing world it takes flexibility to make things work. We live to find success where it may not be common. In this episode we record live from the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo in Salt Lake City. We (Adam and Jason) put on a seminar sharing our personal theories in applying for tags across the west.

The Life of a Wolf Hunter with Gus Thoreson. While spending several winters in the backcountry trapping and hunting wolves, Gus studied and learned a lot about wolf behavior and tendencies. Wolves are a very smart predator that is efficient in being an unseen killer. A wolf hunt is one of the most exhausting hunts, both mentally and physically and yields the lowest success rates of most any hunts in the west. This is an informative podcast for anyone interested in wolf hunting. 

Change Creates Opportunity. We often detest change and the pains of having our favorite hunts and hunting areas affected. Although it's not easy to embrace change we should always look for new opportunities created by those changes. Sometimes a new hunt date, a longer season, new tag numbers, new drawing procedures by a state, can play to our benefit if we pay attention. If we as hunters can be observant, change can sometimes lead to some of our best opportunities.

In this episode of the Epic Outdoors Podcast we talk about the Nevada guide draw and the benefits of applying with an outfitter if you plan on going guided anyway. We also dive into some deep conversation on hunting trucks, life patterns, and plenty of joking around. We will be headed to the Sheep Show as well as the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo. Come see us there.
