Trail Kreitzer: Western Hunting for Rookies

If you are new to the Western Hunting game this episode is for you.

Trail Kreitzer a legitimate backcountry hunter and one hell of a guy. He is one of the go-to sources of information for Western Big Game Hunting in print and on social media.

As a member of the Go Hunt team, he is a host of the Big Hunt Guys Podcast, an author of numerous hunting strategy articles, and is featured each year in a number of the professionally created Go Hunt films.

Trail frequently discusses his passion for Elk hunting on the Go Hunt podcast and the majority of our conversation focused around Elk and the many facets of preparing for and taking on a backcountry elk hunt.

While much of this information is standard for existing western hunters, I wanted to utilize our time together to provide a launching point for eastern hunters who are either preparing for a western hunt or have wanted to take on the western big game but have been intimidated by the draw process, difference in topography, or necessary changes in hunting strategy.

I did my best to cast a broad net around all the basics of elk hunting with a bit of mule deer sprinkled in. Nothing is drilled down to the fine details. Rather I tried to cover all over the bases so you would know were to start. From essential gear, to glassing strategy, to evaluating road on mapping software, to what to do with an elk herd once you find them we took a big swing at helping you get ready for your western backcountry hunt. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
