Hunt West Podcast with Jaden Bales

Today’s bonus episode is from the Hunt West Podcast by Jaden Bales

Jaden and Robby dive into old school deer hunting tactics that too many hunters might not think about.

The West is primed for a big growth in mule deer populations, though mature buck numbers in a lot of places are pretty low right now – let alone big special ones. On the back of this, hunters will need to think outside of the box to find bucks in places other hunters are not able to find them. How does someone do that?

Topics discussed: 

  • Adapting to Changing Hunter Habits
  • Big Bucks in Easy to Glass Places vs. Thick Country.
  • Are deer drives something guys should consider for big bucks?
  • How to practice when long shots aren’t your game plan.
  • Tracking: How’s a guy do it? How’s a guy get good at it?

and more on old school deer hunting tactics.

Robby Denning
Robby Denning started hunting mule deer in the late 1970’s, only missing one season in 35 years. At 25, he gave up the pursuit of all other big-game to focus on taking the best bucks possible. He began hunting the West on a DIY budget hunting an average of 30 days a year for mule deer. Robby loves the hunt as much as the kill and the entire process from research to scouting to hunting. He’s killed four bucks over 200 inches in the last 15 seasons, mostly on easily-obtained tags. He owns a public-land scouting service and runs a private-land outfitting business helping other hunters in their pursuit of deer and elk. Robby has scouted and hunted literally thousands of square miles of mule deer country and brings a wealth of knowledge about these experiences with him. To him, the weapon of choice is just a means-to-an-end and will hunt with bow, rifle, or muzzleloader – whatever it takes to create an opportunity to take a great mule deer. He is also the author of "Hunting Big Mule Deer" available on Amazon. Robby believes all of creation is from God for man to manage, respect, and through which to know its Creator
