Join Hunt Advisors, Austin Atkinson, Garth Jenson and Eric Bachofner as they dive into the major upcoming changes to Colorado's big game draw system, a shift that will impact every hunter looking to chase elk, deer, and other prized species in the state. Here we unpack the sweeping changes that move Colorado from a preference-based draw to a 50-50 split, meaning half of the available tags will be allocated based on preference points, while the other half will be completely randomized. What does this mean for hunters who have been banking points for years? Should you burn them now or wait? And how will the new season date structures, non-resident allocations, and revamped tag reissue system affect your strategy going forward? We also break down the new preference point fee system, the elimination of Colorado's hybrid draw, and the implications of the state's once-in-a-lifetime rule for moose, sheep, and mountain goat. With these game-changing regulations taking full effect in 2028, now is the time to plan ahead. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or just starting out, this episode is a must-listen to help you navigate the evolving landscape of Colorado hunting. Buckle up, because the game just changed—and we're here to make sure you stay ahead of it!

Welcome to this episode of the Built to Hunt Podcast, where we're focusing on expert strategies for pursuing one of North America's most iconic big-game animals: the mule deer. Host Bransen Jackson, a seasoned guide who's hunted premier units year after year, shares a deep dive into what it takes to succeed in the field. We'll break down the unique challenges of hunting these elusive deer, from understanding their feeding and migration patterns to learning how elevation and weather shifts impact their behavior. In this episode, we dive into the high-stakes world of limited-entry units, where hunters must manage high expectations and adapt strategies for general and special season hunts alike. Bransen explores when to take an aggressive approach versus exercising patience, and why knowing the nuances of summer, fall, and even winter behavior can be the difference between a successful hunt and a missed opportunity. Whether you're here to learn tips for your next mule deer hunt or simply to enjoy the stories from the field, this episode is packed with insights to help you make the most of every moment in mule deer country.   Host: Austin Atkinson Co-Host: Deziree Lambert Interviewing: Bransen Jackson   Podcast Partners: Ravin Crossbows: https://ravincrossbows.com/ GEAR FOOL: https://www.gearfool.com/ Use Code BUILTTOHUNT for 10% OFF in Our GEAR FOOL Store Today!   Get Connected: Subscribe to HUNTIN' FOOL on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@huntinfool_official Become a HUNTIN' FOOL Member here: https://www.huntinfool.com/join Download The HUNTIN' FOOL App: https://www.huntinfool.com/app   Follow us on Social Media: Facebook: /huntinfoolofficial Instagram:  /huntinfool_official/

In this episode of the Built To Hunt Podcast, we dive deep into Utah's deer management strategy with special guest Dax Mangus, a key member and local biologist of Utah's deer management committee. As Utah battles with declining deer populations, factors like habitat improvement, hunting regulations, and public opinion shape the current management plan. Dax sheds light on the 100,000-acre+ habitat restoration initiative, the impact of energy development on deer populations, and the vital role GPS collar studies play in tracking deer health and behavior. We also discuss the importance of balancing a healthy buck-to-doe ratio, changes to weapon allocation, and the unique four-point restriction system in Pine Valley. How does Utah's approach compare to other states, and are these measures enough to ensure a sustainable deer population? Dax shares insights on how public surveys influence season structures and the challenges in shifting season dates. Join us as we explore the complex intersection of conservation, hunting satisfaction, and policy in Utah's deer management efforts.   Host: Austin Atkinson Co-Host: Deziree Lambert Interviewing: Dax Mangus Episode Photo Credit: 30 Wide Photography https://www.instagram.com/30widephotography/   Podcast Partners: Western Hunt Expo: https://huntexpo.com/ GEAR FOOL: https://www.gearfool.com/ Use Code BUILTTOHUNT for 10% OFF in Our GEAR FOOL Store Today!   Get Connected: Subscribe to HUNTIN' FOOL on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@huntinfool_official Become a HUNTIN' FOOL Member here: https://www.huntinfool.com/join Download The HUNTIN' FOOL App: https://www.huntinfool.com/app   Follow us on Social Media: Facebook: /huntinfoolofficial Instagram:  /huntinfool_official/
