Big Hunt Guys

To kick off a New Year and a new application season, the Big Hunt Guys are doing a deep dive into draw odds. Understanding draw odds, point creep, and point systems is vital for drawing tags in the West; in this episode, the guys break down how they use the Insider research platform and draw odds to guarantee they draw tags each year. They also do an overview of some common terminology used in the application game, and they go in-depth on the draw systems for Wyoming, Arizona, and New Mexico, which are upcoming draws. This is a must-listen for everyone prior to applying this year.
