In this episode, Andrew breaks down his top five states for Western big game hunting—specifically elk and mule deer—and explains why each one deserves a spot in your long-term strategy.
From over-the-counter opportunities to point systems and public land access, Andrew draws from personal experience and hard-earned knowledge to help you think beyond your current zip code and start planning that first (or next) trip out West.

- The state Andrew recommends if you’re brand new to Western hunting
- Which states are best for quick access vs. long-term payoff- How to handle complicated draw systems and avoid common mistakes
- Why hunting the West doesn’t have to wait until “one day”
