Welcome to another episode of The Fair Chase Podcast!    Today, we talk with Chad Ryker from the podcasts Out Of State Hunter and Backcountry Rookies about hunting outside of your home state. We cover things like state regulations, resources, and recommendations for which states to check out based on what game you are looking to hunt.    Here's what we discussed:  Discusses the Ohio Landowner Hunter Access Partnership Program (OLHAP) and its similarity to Michigan's Hunter Access Program. Talks about the Out of State Hunter podcast, a project focusing on hunting opportunities across all 50 states. Emphasizes the uniqueness of each state's hunting regulations and the complexity in understanding these regulations. Describes the challenges hunters face when navigating various state regulations and the importance of accurate information directly from state game agencies. Plans to bring in biologists to discuss habitat and species-specific details for a more comprehensive understanding of hunting environments. Highlights differences between Eastern and Western states in terms of hunting seasons, animal limits, and costs. Noted the significant cost difference between hunting in Eastern and Western states, with hunting in the East generally being less expensive. Identified Missouri and Oklahoma as states with good hunting opportunities, particularly for out-of-state hunters. Mentioned Oklahoma having both draw tags and over-the-counter opportunities. Highlighted Colorado as an excellent option for elk hunting, with various opportunities available, including some over-the-counter options. Highlighted New Mexico's unique hunting system, lacking a point system, which means everyone has an equal chance to apply for tags, although residents may have a better chance. Expresses a preference for hunting mule deer and admits to not being proficient in hunting elk, having missed opportunities in Arizona and opting not to shoot smaller bulls during a New Mexico rifle hunt due to logistics and personal preference. The importance of seizing opportunities to learn and expand knowledge within the hunting community.   Sponsor Links:  SAVE 20 % on your next Vortex purchase Promo code:  TFC20  https://bit.ly/3sXoAJp   SAVE 10% on TrophyLine Tree Saddles gear  Promo code:  TFC 10 https://bit.ly/3nN4aKu    SAVE 30% on your next TUO purchase Promo code:  TFC30 https://bit.ly/40yj1gL   Other Sponsor Links:  http://www.huntwise.com/  https://www.g5prime.com/

Mark Livesay is the founder of Treeline Pursuits and the creator of Treeline Academy. In general, Mark is a “all in” type of person as seen through his triathlon career (10 Ironman finishes), the formation of his event production company Ultramax Sports, and most significantly in his life-long hunting pursuits. He spent his first two elk hunting decades traveling from Missouri to the western states. He would definitely qualify as a serial elk hunter, pursuing elk in multiple western states, and spending 75+ days in the backcountry each season. His 30 years of elk hunting have given him a thorough understanding of the challenges associated with E-Scouting and finding elk. Recently, he has been featured as a guest on a growing list of hunting's best podcasts, including The Rich Outdoors, Eastmans Elevated, Hunt Harvest Health, The Gritty Podcast, Elk Shape, Backcountry Rookies, Publically Challenged, Shoot'n The Bull, and many others. His E-Scouting podcasts on the Rich Outdoors were among the podcast's most downloaded episodes in 2019. He has published several elk hunting strategy articles and has been invited to present E-Scouting tactics at the Western Hunting Summit and Elk Shape Camps. Mark and his wife, Amy, moved to Montana in 2016 and have never looked back. They share their Missoula home with their two children, Eli and Emme, and a gaggle of pack llamas. The growing herd of Ccara pack llamas is now a vital part of his public land, do-it-yourself hunting arsenal.

Brady Miller is addicted to mountain hunting and mule deer… he literally thinks about them every single day of the year. Some would say that his passion is an addiction, but Brady doesn't mind. He is a proud Lifetime Member of the Wild Sheep Foundation. Brady has been published in numerous magazines, written small book excerpts on mule deer, and has had numerous articles published in various online websites. In addition, he regularly gives seminars on backcountry hunting and mule deer tactics. To date, he has over 600 articles published. Brady is one of the hosts of the BIG HUNT GUYS Podcast. In addition to GOHUNT's podcast, he has also been featured as a guest on several podcasts. The list of podcasts includes; Backcountry Rookies, Battle Mountain Podcast, Beyond the Kill, Bowcast, East Meets West Hunt, Finding Backcountry, Gritty Podcast, Gunwerks Long Range Pursuit, Hunt Harvest Health, Hunt Talk Radio with Randy Newberg, Tundra Talk, Muley Freak, Jay Scott Outdoors, Out Of State Hunter, The Altitude Podcast, The Hunter's Quest, The Hunt Backcountry Podcast, The Rich Outdoors, The Wild Initiative, and Vortex Nation Podcast. Brady is also known for being resourceful both in the office and out. He once used sunflower seeds, a piece of fishbone, and melted plastic to repair a boat motor in the middle of the backcountry. We are pretty sure he hacks his way around his desktop in exactly the same way.

Mark Livesay is the founder of Treeline Pursuits and the creator of Treeline Academy. In general, Mark is a “all in” type of person as seen through his triathlon career (10 Ironman finishes), the formation of his event production company Ultramax Sports, and most significantly in his life-long hunting pursuits. He spent his first two elk hunting decades traveling from Missouri to the western states. He would definitely qualify as a serial elk hunter, pursuing elk in multiple western states, and spending 75+ days in the backcountry each season. His 30 years of elk hunting have given him a thorough understanding of the challenges associated with E-Scouting and finding elk. Recently, he has been featured as a guest on a growing list of hunting's best podcasts, including The Rich Outdoors, Eastmans Elevated, Hunt Harvest Health, The Gritty Podcast, Elk Shape, Backcountry Rookies, Publically Challenged, Shoot'n The Bull, and many others. His E-Scouting podcasts on the Rich Outdoors were among the podcast's most downloaded episodes in 2019. He has published several elk hunting strategy articles and has been invited to present E-Scouting tactics at the Western Hunting Summit and Elk Shape Camps. Mark and his wife, Amy, moved to Montana in 2016 and have never looked back. They share their Missoula home with their two children, Eli and Emme, and a gaggle of pack llamas. The growing herd of Ccara pack llamas is now a vital part of his public land, do-it-yourself hunting arsenal.

COMMUNICATION - Chad Ryker This week's show is all about communication and why it's important.  Communicating with your significant other, hunting partners, kids or maybe even work about your plans can really change the dynamic of a hunt.  If everyone knows the plan and what your intentions are before you apply or before you head out for the hunt your experience will be ten times better.  Give this one a listen!  BACKCOUNTRY ROOKIES @backcountryrookies  OUT OF STATE HUNTER @outofstatehunter GOHUNT  Use the code ROOKIES when you become an Insider or Explorer and get GOHUNT Gear Shop Credit https://www.gohunt.com OutdoorClass  Save 20% on the best hunting education platform out there!  Use the code ROOKIES today and start the course https://www.outdoorclass.com
