Paul Peterson, aka @paulofthewild a customer service rep at Firstlite joins me on todays podcast to talk about overcoming adversity on a hunt.

A hunt that many end up going home empty-handed on due to the sheer logistical and physical challenges. We dive into pauls hunt and many of the ups and downs of a tough DIY sheep hunt.

Today’s Podcast brought to you by On X and goHUNT. Its tag season right now and if you aren’t familiar with that term it basically means now is the time of year hardcore hunters are figuring out our fall plans. Some of us obsess over this kind of stuff, but it’s for good reason. For me, this is the most important time spent. There is nothing worse than spending a week hunting only to hike your face off and only see one or two animals. Yes, hunting is about more than the kill but I will take a hunt where I get to see more wildlife than other hunters any day of the week. This year I probably had one of my best years to date and I attribute that to the planning and preparation done this time of year. I can’t stress it enough if you want to be more successful having the right tag in your pocket is one of the biggest keys.
Having said all of that, when I jump on the computer to find the next hunt the two websites I log into are goHUNT.com and Onxmaps.com. This time of year its pretty much daily and in fact Jaden and I have to regulate ourselves in the office because thats a rabbit whole we may not come out of for the rest of the day.
GoHUNT.com’s filtering tool allows me to browse and scan for hunts, dive into the numbers, and is full of amazing data to help me analyze the numbers. I am constantly looking for that balance great hunt while making sure I can actually draw tags. As I find units in goHUNT the next thing I do is switch over to my On X account and start to analyze that unit from a maps perspective. Can I get away from people? Is there enough public land? Does the terrain look like the kind of hunt I want? It is a constant back and forth between ON X and goHUNT. If you are new to these platforms I promise you the more you play with them the better you get. I have often said that I personally don’t think I can see the answer until I have starred at the problem long enough to see what everyone else doesn’t. I know some of the best hunters in the world and the large majority of them use these tools in much the same way and with much the same mindset.
If you want to have your best year yet. Don’t just get both of these tools, become proficient at using them. Use the promo Code TRO for both your ON X and goHUNT memberships and you will not only save money but help support this podcast as well.

EP 422: What it Takes to be a Good Hunter with Dan Mayland

by

Growing up on a ranch in north-central Wyoming, Dan was introduced to archery by guys that would come out and hunt their ranch every year. Cutting his teeth stalking mule deer Dan grew a passion for hunting. After his family sold the ranch, Dan took the mountains and continued his archery hunting journey on public ground. From big bulls to big bucks and even bears Dan is a very well rounded hunter and we talk about what makes a good hunter succeed where others don’t. We cover knowing when to move on and when to be patient and how he learned these lessons the hard way. This is so important at times can be one of the hardest decisions to make as a hunter.

This podcast also brought to you by goHUNT.com. If you want to put better tags in your pocket or just get started putting in other states get yourself a goHUNT.com insider account. GoHUNT is my go-to tool when I start planning any hunt. The ease of use makes finding the information and stats I need to make the decision on which hunt to apply for quick and easy. With goHunt I not only have more confidence in the tags I am putting in for but I now have too many tags that I want to hunt. goHunt is so much more than just what my draw odds are for a unit I use goHunt to find hunts that most people aren’t looking at. I can’t say it enough if you want to have better tags and better hunts get a goHUNT membership. Use code TRO when you sign up or when you renew and get $50 toward the gear shop.
